The Life 3 Basket
Chapters. 4. Uncertain
"Honey. When are you going to introduce me to your parents?" asked Karin who was lying on her summaries lap.
"Patience. For the time being it is still not safe if you show up, my parents will definitely change their decision to give the company to me. They don't like scandals the most, let alone polygamy."
"What is the solution to our relationship?"
"Actually the only way is to get divorced from Marinka. But it seems that woman loves me too much, so she's so hard to let go of me."
"Why could that be? was it during my time abroad that you always paid attention to her, so she was mistaken?"
"No Honey. Even the hair I never touched. I also talk to him as necessary."
"I didn't want to be cruel to him, but you were mine from the beginning. I love you so much, it's hard to let go of you for another woman."
"No Honey. You're completely innocent in this, he's the one who's wrong already entered our lives. I was very happy when I found out I was going to be betrothed to Papa Herman's son, but I didn't think that girl wasn't you but Marinka."
"So what should we do now? we can't torture him to give up, can we?"
"Now it's up to you. I don't want to interfere in that business, I leave it all to you. If indeed you can persuade her to file for divorce, then just do it."
"What about the child?"
"Why?"
"Are we going to postpone it? since the beginning of our marriage, we have not used safety at all. If I get pregnant, what about my fate? while you don't want your family to know about our marriage."
"If the fetus really has to grow now, why should we worry? is that the fruit of our love Honey? of course I'll take it. If that happens, I'll persuade my parents to let them understand."
"Thank you dear. I love you," Karin hugged Galang tightly.
"Now it's better to make it" whispered Galang.
"Honey. You're tired, aren't you going to the office tomorrow morning?" ask Karin.
"My body gets fresher when I wake up, after making love as much as you."
"Huu.gombal, ".dark,"
"You want?"
"Emm." Karin nodded while blushing.
Tonight was really a long night for the newlyweds. Marinka, who wanted to knock on the door, abandoned her intention to call her husband for dinner. For the umpteenth time Marinka's tears fell and felt the tightness of her chest.
"When you give me that right, Mas" said Marinka softly as she wiped her tears.
Marinka moved from the front door of the room, feeling she could not hear the melodious voices anymore.
"Did I complain to Papa and Mama? who knows, they'll help me separate Galang and Karin. It's not that I'm against polygamy, but Mas Galang's treatment is really unfair to me."
"But if I really complained to them, what would Galang do to me? what's gonna kill me? are Mama and Papa really going to defend me? I'm just his daughter-in-law,"
Thinking about all that made Marinka even more hardened her hug on the pillow bolster.
"The first person I asked was Papa and Mama Herman. I must ask clearly, is everything Karin said true?"
"I don't believe those who are such affectionate, could have done that to me. I can accept that Karin did this to me, because she was young. But them?"
"No. I have to think positively first. I must not forget the kindness of those who raised me and fed me all this time."
"Tomorrow I'll meet them and talk carefully. I'm sure Karin lied to me,"
Because it was too late with her own thoughts, Marinka finally fell asleep and missed her dinner.
*****
As usual, Marinka woke up early. She did not want to miss making breakfast for her beloved husband. Despite knowing Galang did not love her yet, but Marinka did not want to give up on taking her husband's heart through the food she made.
"Mas. You started working today?" marinka asked when she saw Galang coming down with his formal clothes.
Do not ask where Karin is, because the woman is always grappling with the man.
When he pulled a chair for Karin to sit on, the man treated Karin like a queen. After that Galang pulled out a chair for himself.
"What would you eat with?"
"Let me alone brother," interrupted Karin.
"Honey. Please make me some bread with peanut butter, will you?"
"OKAY. Wait yeah?"
"Emm." Galang nodded while rubbing Karin's smooth cheeks.
Marinka did not care about their affection, even though her heart always felt a throbbing pain. He considers it as an exercise to mentally, to be stronger to face the trials of life in the future.
Marinka poured Galang a cup of tea, and placed it in front of the man.
"Marinka's. For what happened to Karin yesterday I won't take issue with her, but nothing for another time. This is all because Karin kindly doesn't want to magnify the matter, because she knows you're jealous."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't make me emotional in the morning. Stupidhead! that's what high school is for, so the brain can remember well what it's done."
"Honey. Never mind, why ruin your mood? it's your first day in the office, patience?"
Karin rubbed her husband's arm while Marinka just fell silent, trying to digest what Galang said.
"Now you eat the bread? late ntra and you are? go home not long? I'm afraid I miss," whined Karin.
"What a sickening sight," inwardly Marinka.
After finishing his bread and tea, Galang moved from his seat. Marinka and Karin compact to deliver Galang to the front door.
Cup
Galang kissed Karin's forehead, but not Marinka's. The two women stood side by side. As much as possible Marinka resisted the rate of her tears.
"Mas' Heart" said Marinka.
"Emm."
"Honey. Careful huh?"
"Yes dear. You're good at home, right?" He rubbed the top of Karin's head.
"Love you,"
"Love you more Honey,"
Galang waved his hand after honking. Karin immediately turned her body to go back into the room.
Tap
Marinka blocked Karin's hand tightly, until Karin grimaced a bit in pain
"Can you explain what Mas Galang said earlier? what did I do to you yesterday? aren't you the one who insulted me?"
"Well, what else, brother. She loved me so much that she listened to everything I said, including my lies."
"The lies? what lie?"
"Did you see the scratches on my face?"
Marinka notices a slight scratch on Karin's face, but it's not too serious.
"I said it was you who did it. I also said you grabbed my hair and pulled my shirt to shreds. And fateful for you, he believed everything I said."
Karin said that without feeling burdened. While Marinka can only widen her eyes, because she does not believe Karin can defame her.
