The Forsaken Heart Flakes
Chapter 15

After spilling her frustration towards Nadira, Danu came home with her mother and sister. He did not pay any heed to Nadira who cried bitterly in front of the contract. For some reason, his heart seemed to no longer care since a few months ago. Yes, Danu's feelings for Nadira are gone.

The next morning, Danu comes to her rented house with Nadira. Without bringing up the matter yesterday, the man behaved as usual, as if the incident yesterday afternoon had never happened.

"Nad, open the door!" danu's orders at dawn.

"Nadira!" call him again when he's been waiting five minutes, but the door won't open.

"Nadira, I command ka–"

'Clak'

Danu had not yet finished his words, the front door of the contract was open. Nadira stood in the doorway while staring coldly at her husband.

"You remember coming home, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"What do you mean ask like that, Nadira? Wasn't it certain that I would come back here" said Danu about to step into his house. However, Nadira quickly blocked the man's move.

"Why are you blocking my way?"

"I don't think you'll ever come here again, Mom. So, I've decided to tidy up all your stuff."

"A–what? What do you mean, tidying up all my stuff? Do you think I'm going to get out of here?"

"Yes. Don't you need me or Tiara anymore? Then, why do you stay here?" nadira asked without changing her cold face. Her anger towards Danu made her seem to have to be even more stubborn towards her husband.

"Nadira, you're empty what are you saying, huh? You are still my wife and Tiara is my daughter. Why should I leave your side?" Danu again asked in a high tone because she felt Nadira had provoked her emotions.

"Omong empty?" Nadira smiled faintly. "I'm not saying this for no reason at all. And ... wasn't it obvious you left us yesterday without knowing the real problem?"

Danu smiled faintly as she began to realize where Nadira was talking to. "Are you still angry about yesterday?" tanyakanya.

"What do you think I should behave like? Do I have to keep my head down and deny all your abusive words and deeds that hurt me and Tiara? No, Mas. I will not do that" explained Nadira who immediately made Danu clenched his hands tightly while looking intently at his wife.

"Nadira, don't you try to provoke my emotions this morning like this? Can't you assume that all the events of yesterday afternoon never happened? Even my mother had forgotten about it" Danu said without feeling guilty.

"Forget it? Is it any good that I forgot your rude attitude towards me and Tiara, huh? And, isn't it common for people who are guilty, it's easy to forget about problems?"

"Sad. Your attitude like this really makes me sick, Nadira. You act as if you and Tiara could live without me and Mom."

"Why not? Wasn't it before we were together, I was already used to working hard by myself? In fact, it doesn't matter to me if you really leave" Nadira replied confidently.

Apparently you and Mom both have no desire to apologize to me and Tiara. Then, until when are you going to be like that, Mom? tiara's inner self as she continued to stare at Danu's back which began to disappear from her sight.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

This morning Nadira was getting ready to go to work. She asks Rumi's mother to take care of Tiara while she works at the factory. Nadira was reluctant to go to her in-laws because her resentment still soared in her heart, not to mention Danu's attitude that yesterday morning increasingly made her stop approaching Susan's mother.

"Bu Rumi, I beg you to take Tiara. I ... was a little worried that Tiara was at Mom's house," Nadira told the middle-aged woman, who was about the same age as her own mother.

"Yes. Just stay here, Nad. You don't have to worry that Tiara here must be safe" Mother Rumi replied as she carried Tiara from Nadira's hand.

"Yes, Mom. Please, yeah!"

"Sure, Nad."

After finishing handing over all Tiara's needs to Rumi's mother, Nadira was said to go to work by using a motorcycle taxi in front of her alley. Danu this morning did not come back to the contract. So, inevitably Nadira had to leave with another ojek.

As usual, the morning atmosphere was quite draining of sweat because the streets were jammed, successfully passed Nadira that morning. The atmosphere this morning was more crowded than usual as today was payday. So, there will be a lot of people because of the impromptu market along the road to the factory.

"Neng, we've arrived" said the driver of the taxi delivering Nadira.

"Yes, Sir. Please stop in front!" sahut Nadira's.

"Oh, yes, Neng!"

The driver followed Nadira's request to get off in front, or rather next to the gate. Just now he came down and gave the fare to the ojek, suddenly accidentally hearing him catch the voice of someone who was talking about it.

*Eh, look .. isn't that the woman Mr Raka was carrying a while ago, huh?

Oh, uh, yeah .. He's the one. Not as pretty as I imagined, right? But, it is also good that he can hook the heart of Mr. Raka.

Gee? Is it really like that? Must have been something with Mr. Raka. There is no way a person like Mr. Raka would want to be gossiped for free with a person like him.

Ja. He seems to be just looking for sensation. That news must be a lie*!

Such were the whispers that Nadira heard. At first Nadira did not apply interested in their conversation, but when Nadira deliberately looked at him, the two women who did not know Nadira actually sneered and looked at him with scorn. It didn't get there. When Nadira was about to enter the building where he worked, suddenly ....

"Hey, itchy lady, can you stay away from Raka?"
