The Marriage Tragedy Mixed
Chapter 40. Forced Approve.

Chapter 35

"Ouch!"

Jana shook her hand. He sucked out his slightly bleeding fingertips, hit by a knife slice while cutting potatoes.

"Why, Jan?" asked Mira who had just emerged from the kitchen door.

"Keiris," hiss Jana.

"But I'll take the medicine box." Mira turned her body out of the kitchen room. A few moments later he returned with a white box symbolizing the red cross.

"Not focused, anyway," sheeps Mira while looking for a cleanser and wound cover.

"Thank you, Mir" said Jana while chuckling.

Mira blushes her lips. "Why is that swollen eyes, anyway?" tanyanya while helping Jana cut potatoes. "Acis is crying, huh?" guess it.

Jana grimacing. Of course he can not lie to his best friend, who already knows the problems he is facing.

"Mir," call Jana.

"Hmm?"

"It's like what you're afraid of, really."

Mira stopped her activity of cutting potatoes. "About what?" He frowned.

"About Joshua."

Mira raised both her thick eyebrows. "Joshua's job you mean?" tanyakanya.

Jana nodded. "Yesternight I went with him to take care of his job."

"Keep, continue?"

Jana took a deep breath. Prepare her heart to tell her the painful things that made her fall.

"He looks like he joined a gangster."

"Oh." Mira patted her forehead. His friend experienced the same thing with him. "Tell, right, my guess?"

"But something makes me sick even more, Mir." Jana's eyes started to glaze over. "He asked me to serve his boss, for a high fee."

Mira's eyes are perfectly rounded. This time the girl was in a deep shock. "What's the truth, Jan?" tanyanya.

Jana nodded weakly. "Joshua wouldn't go home if I didn't give him the same answer."

"Your husband's crazy man!" maki Mira's. "But Jan ... stayin!" emphatically.

"Not knowing me, Mir. I still love him."

Mira exhaled a rough breath. "What kind of love, anyway? If make you sick continue to be rich gini? Stupid yes!"

"You don't understand, Mir. If I'm in love with someone, it's hard."

"I understand, Jan. Totally understand. You're, uh, just afraid of loneliness if you split up with Joshua. Aye, right?"

Jana took a deep breath. "Not knowing, Mir."

"Yes, no, deh. Just think about it, yeah. But, that split option you have to make one of the choices, Jan."

Jana still has hope of being able to fix her marriage to Joshua. He did not want to give up that easily. He still wants to fight.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you, Mir."

"What, tuh?" Mira turned to look towards Jana. "It's exciting, nih," guessed it. Therefore, he saw Jana's cheeks meet red.

"Jovan ...."

"Where-how?" ask Mira curiously.

Jana recounts the incident of a kiss in Jovan's apartment that somehow just happened. And Jana felt so guilty. She had committed treason against her husband.

Of course Mira suffocated in shock to hear Jana's story. However, the girl is very supportive if Jana can relate to Jovan. Because in any way, except for looks, Jovan is more everything than Joshua.

"I'm confused, Mir."

Jana shook her head slowly. He has challenged such a strange relationship. Why, then, did he get the chance to do so. All of that confused Jana herself.

***

Exiting the underground station, Jana's steps came to a halt as her eyes caught someone being beaten by several black people. What makes him surprised not to play is, when he finds out who the people who are being the months of the big men.

"Josh ...." Jana's lips are soft. His body froze watching Joshua being battered by the men. She could only look at her husband.

Until the men left Joshua face down on the sidewalk floor, Jana was able to move her legs closer to Johsua with her chest pounding.

"Yah! You are not papa? Josh!" yelled Jana while helping Joshua sit down.

Joshua even chuckles at Jana's panic. "No need to pretend to care, Jana," he said, pulling his arm from Jana's hand.

"Your face is battered rich gini!" jana exclaimed as she tried to wipe away the blood flowing at the corner of Joshua's lips and also at the temple of his eye. "Come, we'll go to the apartment." Jana helps Joshua stand up.

In addition to the smell of blood from Joshua's wounds, Jana also smelled the pungent smell of alcohol from her husband's body.

Arriving inside the apartment, Jana sits Joshua on the sofa. "I'll get some water to clean your wounds."

"No need!" Joshua wiped the blood on his face with the sleeve of his coat.

"Yah! Who are they, anyway? Why are they beating you up?"

Joshua pulled the corner of his lips. "I owe them. A bunch. That's a lot, Jana."

Jana covered her mouth with both palms. He was surprised to hear Joshua. "Why do you owe so much to them?!" his erang.

"You want to know? Jana, you want to know?" Joshua raised his eyebrows, his blue eyes were rounded. "My business's stuck. The stuff I sold was taken away from people. I have to return the value of the item to the supplier. Youunderstand?"

"W-why?" tanya Jana stamped.

"30 grand."

Jana flabbergasted. "30 grand?" reworked.

"They gave me three days to return. If I can't ...."

"What will they do with you?"

Joshua stuck the tip of his index finger on his forehead. "Bang!" chortled.

Jana was struck by lightning hearing Joshua's words. They will kill Johsua if the 30-dollar bill is not returned in three days. "Yes, Allah" he said softly, stroking his chest.

"Do you know now? Why would I ask you to help me?" Joshua looked hard at Jana. "If you want to see me die, yes, you do, you don't have to help me."

Jana swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Her chest feels so tight. There was a big rock pressing down on him.

Three days, having to earn that much money, Jana's brain was unable to think. The profits of his small business with Mira only reached a maximum of five hundred dollars, or five million rupiah. That alone still had to be shared with Mira as a financier.

"You still want to see me alive?" joshua asked, drowning Jana.

"Josh .. I'll try to find."

Joshua shook his hand. Thought Jana's words were just the wind. "Where to look? Waiting for your business profits?" He chuckles. "Don't joke, Jana."

"I'll try to find."

Joshua clicking. "When you managed to collect that money, I might have died."

Jana shook her head strongly. "Don't talk rich, Baby ...."

"Don't call me Baby!" joshua's snapping made Jana jump in shock. Because Joshua's voice was so loud, it hit the recesses of his heart.

"I'm sorry," Johsua said later, as she looked at Jana's teary eyes. "I'm fucked, Jana."

Jana closed her eyes. Her tears had already fallen down her cheeks.

"you love me, don't you, Jana?" ask Joshua to demand. Jana nodded. "If you love me, help me."

Jana let out a slow and long breath. His brain is unable to think clearly. Then, with a heavy heart, Jana nodded.

"I want to."
