THE MARRIAGE ENDS IN WOUNDS.
The Unexpected Meeting.

"Why Diah? slowly, worried that the knife hit your leg" said Mama when Diah dropped the knife.

"Ti-nothing Ma," replied Diah stammering and then grab the knife under the sink.

If Mama knew, that Mama's boy never touched my body, then what is the satisfaction of the bed?

Mama glanced at Diah's face why when talking about the bed, Diah's face turned tense. Is there something about Abim? Mom asked in her heart.

The cuisine was ripe and Mama called Papa to the study.

While Diah raised the lunch menu to the dining table.

Diah then sat on a couch leaning, half asleep, he thought traveling.

If you live in this atmosphere until when will it survive? He is a free man, unusual in order.

It is like a bird that is free to fly at will. But now he feels his life is locked in a cage.

What else has Mama mentioned about her personal, especially her household.

I should be able to persuade Abim to move out of this place.

"Diah... Here son" Mama surprised Diah's daydream.

"Yes Ma" Diah lastas followed to the dining table. Papa Wahid did not look at him one bit what else greeted him.

Diah looked at Papa stiffened, as when High School was always in the Guru BP session.

"Where's Ma?" ask Papa.

"Not yet called Pa, but later Mama called" Mama said while serving Papa.

"Let me just call Ma" without an answer from Mama Diah then up.

"Abim hasn't been home this morning, Ma?" asked Papa from earlier did not see Abim.

"Not yet, just called Mama, she said she wanted to go to the top with her college friends first." said Mama.

"peak? what's the business there?" Papa looked at Mama.

"I don't know Pa," Mama put her shoulder out. The chatter stopped Diah and Intan had already gone down.

They ate together without Abim, after eating Intan lifting the dirty dishes backwards. This time Diah helps out actually Diah is lazy but Diah wants to avoid Papa's face which makes her sober.

Intan with Diah back out Intan immediately joined a chat in the family room

While Diah quickly grew afraid to see Papa's face. But just a few steps Papa stopped. "Where do you want me to talk" said Papa coldly.

Deg.

Diah came back down and joined them.

"Where have you been to college?" ask Papa, to dhe point.

"On campus xxx with Mawar Pa, but not finished." he said while looking down.

There is no one in this world who is afraid. But with Papa, why shrink.

I only attended college for two semesters. Because often do not enter, and do not pay tuition fees end up in D, O tuition fees from Adit just for fun.

"What is your skill?" papa's Cecar.

"I mean, Pa?" He asked back not understanding Papa's question. Diah stared at Papa only occasionally, frightened by his eagle eyes.

"Can you cook?" Papa was like interviewing an employee.

Diah shakes.

"Suturing, painting?"

Diah also nodded.

Or is there some academic expertise?" Papa continued to pick, Diah feels like peed kebelt.

Diah also nodded.

"What are you living for?!" ketus Papa's.

"Life must have a purpose, Diah, not just wandering everywhere spending husband's money, for a purpose that is not good!" Papa is apparently still investigating Diah's activities out there.

"If I allow you to stay here, it's for Abim's sake. But living here must have rules, mustn't get out of the house for useless things! know you?!"

Papa then left Diah into the room, followed by Mama.

Honestly in Papa's heart, still can't accept Diah as a daughter-in-law. Diah's not the woman who entered Papa's criteria. Actually Papa did not want to have a clever daughter-in-law, as questioned to Diah. But Papa just wants to have a good-natured son-in-law.

Intan who had just been silent then stood up leaving Diah to continue his pending work.

With a chest that feels tight, Diah climbed the stairs to open the door of the room and dropped his body in the mattress.

His body was shaking in tears. All this time if anyone advises only in the right ear out the left ear. But why did the word for word that her in-laws had spoken so hurt her heart.
