THE NANNY
40. We're splitting up
The breakfast of a couple, Arya and Vita looked silent. Only the twang of the spoon clashing against the plate was heard breaking the silence. Until now the relationship between the two is still stiff.
"Have you filed a letter of resignation ?" Arya started to open the conversation finished finishing the dish of seafood fried rice. The tea that seemed to be picking up steam slowly sipped.
Vita was still sitting still, wiping the corner of her lips for a moment after finishing her last bend. The look on his face seemed to hint at confusion to reveal those words.
"Why silence.." continued Arya stared intently at Vita who sat facing each other.
"Hufft.sorry I can't resign, nor do I ask you to choose between family or career. I can't leave both of them behind" Vita said straightforwardly.
"Vita.I only gave you 1 choice. You are my wife, my responsibility before God is great. All this time you are increasingly ignoring your responsibilities as a wife. I don't want you to be a bad wife. If you still want to work, just move to my office ?" Arya said gently trying to give understanding to his wife.
"Don't want this mas my passion.came on don't be like this, your thinking is too conservative mas.I was young let me develop my skill..." Vita exclaimed with annoyed intonation.
"Alright if that's what you want.do as you please, I will allow you by releasing you.." said Arya. There is no anger in his speech. He said calmly without a flash of emotion.
"I mean mas ?"
"I will divorce you..."
Deg. Vita was shocked. "Mas doesn't love me anymore ?" lirihnia said, his throat choked, tears dripping suddenly.
"I love you from a long time ago until this moment Vita.but if with this feeling does not give happiness and tranquility in our household, I choose to use logic. I am not happy with your work, without the pleasure of a husband there will be no blessing at every step of the wife that there is only sin. So I'm gonna let you go !"
"I give you time to think..." Arya got up from her seat, ready to step...
"Do what you want.I'll stick with my stance," Vita stared intently at Arya.
Arya stood glued, staring straight at Vita, glint of her eyes wistfully. His mind was shocked, not expecting his dear wife to choose her own path.
"Alright.if it's not in line.I can what..."
Arya passed away leaving Vita who was still sitting quietly with a blank look. The dining table is a silent witness of two people who choose their own way of life.
Arya came down from the 2nd floor carrying a suitcase and holding Athaya.
"I will get out of this house.the lawyer will take care of everything," said Arya flat, a look of disappointment and sadness appeared on her face..
"Polek I hug Athaya mas..."
Arya nodded her head, thrusting the Athaya she was carrying towards Vita.
"Athaya dear.sorry mommy yes...".Vita kissed the entire face of his son in a row, then he cried while clutching tightly to the child. After all, she was a mother.his eyes remained sick with this reality. Athaya can't go with him, he won't be taken care of by him.
Not that this heart doesn't hurt
Not that this heart doesn't hurt
I was hurt terribly
My ship has not sailed far
But this time it's going to be broken and it's going to be sinking
Because I was just pedaling alone
( Aryan )
