The Tears of Shafira
Chapter 11

“Shafira! Are you tired of your feet? What kind of daughter-in-law are you, huh?” miran snapped as Shafira stood up to go to the toilet to vomit.

“Sorry, Mom! I'm nauseous, it feels like vomiting it looks like I catch a cold!”

“Reason!” mirna said, grumbling.

“But Ma, sa—“ greeting Shafira interrupted.

“What's up, Ma?” suddenly Wulan came along with Muran who was still sitting on the sofa, while both of her legs remained in the warm water immersion container.

“Oh, that's Shafira, from earlier back and forth to the bathroom he said he wanted to vomit because of nausea even though he had not finished mijitin Mama's legs!” mirna said she explained why she was yelling at Sapphira. He was upset because for the umpteenth time, his son-in-law stopped massaging his legs, arguing that he wanted to go to the bathroom.

“Oh, yes Ma, that's just an excuse, even though he's lazy!” wulan said with a sullen look on her face while sneering towards Shafira.

“Oh, yes! Have you finished eating?”

“Already, Ma!”

“Well, yes it is here, all mashed also the same Safira!”

“OK, Mom!”

Wulan sat sweetly following Miran's orders and put her legs together, into a container of warm water that Shafira had prepared at the behest of her mother-in-law.  

The woman glanced at Shafira who was bowing while kneeling before her Mother-in-law. His hands look agile continue to massage the legs of Miran who was in the immersion.

In her mind thinking of her mother-in-law's remark that, Safira just kept going back and forth to the toilet on the grounds of nausea. As he enjoyed his breakfast with Erik, he saw it. However, only now does she suspect that Shafira may be pregnant. If indeed his love rival will have children, it will be a big barrier to his relationship with Erick.  

Therefore he thought about how to get the woman to go away from her husband's side.

Wulan looked away with a sly grin behind her pretty face. Then, he glanced at Erick who was still sitting at the dining table. He wants to know how Erick feels about Shafira.

He has a plan.

Erick silently watched everything that was happening in the living room, between his two wives and his mother. One wife behaves like a real wife. While one wife is like their maid.  

His heart suddenly looked at it. But his selfishness was far greater than the affection that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“It's there! Wulan's footjob only!” mirna's orders were moments later.

Shafira followed her mother-in-law's orders, and began to massage Wulan's legs, just as she was massaging Mirna's feet. His face grew deathly pale and his ears buzzed very hard, as he held back vomiting with all his might.

“Akh! Pain!” suddenly the moon screamed very loudly while holding her leg.

Everyone in the room was shocked including Shafira.

“Wulan, you why, son!” Mirna.

“Honey, what's up?” erick asked frantically he immediately approached in a hurry and looked towards Wulan's feet which were covered by his hands.

Shafira was confused because nothing happened to Wulan's leg as she massaged him.  

Wulan's face grimaced, it was obvious that the woman was enduring excruciating pain. As soon as Erick sat by her side she cried loudly on her husband's chest.

“Sick, Baby! Look!” wulan.

Both Erick and Mirna were surprised when they saw Wulan's leg, there was a scar that was so clear. The wound came from a very sharp nail that had scratched it until it bled.

“What did you do to Wulan, huh?” erick and Mirna almost simultaneously.

“No Mas, I didn't do anything!” refute Shafira solemnly tears had already dripped down her cheeks.

“You're lying if you didn't do anything about why Wulan's legs bleed like this?” mirna said, pinching Shafira's shoulder so hard that she groaned in pain. However, he remained helpless as no one would comfort him.

“Really Ma! I massaged Wulan's leg like massaging Mama's leg!” shafira.

“No, Ma! I ti—“

“Shafira!” erick snapped with a booming voice almost deafening. His voice decided Shafira's speech. While Wulan glanced cynically towards her love rival, triumphantly.

“Are you angry with Wulan because I married her and you want revenge?” erick exclaimed while tightly hugging Wulan beside him.

“Not so, Mas!” shafira.

“Do you still try to avoid this there is already proof!” sahut Mirna while pointing towards Wulan's injured leg.  

While Shafira wondered why the wound could suddenly be there when he did nothing. The nails of his fingers were not as long as the nails of Wulan.

“Wulan! Did you intentionally injure yourself to slander me exactly what do you mean?” shafira asked as she stared intently at Wulan.

Wulan whined like a child while saying, “Shafira, how can you bear? I never did anything to you! I love Erick, is that wrong? Why do you grudge me and hurt me like this?”

“Wulan! You—“  

“Enough!” Shafira's speech was again interrupted by Erick's clasping.  

“Shafira, you can already stay here, can freely eat anything, just like your mother's request that I take care of you, and you don't live alone! Are you not satisfied? Did I love Wulan wrong? I've done the duty your mother asked for and you still grudge me? You are so outrageous Shafira!”

“Mas! I did nothing to your wife and I have no grudges, what kind of accusation is that!” Shafira tried to defend herself because she could not stand being constantly cornered by her husband's second wife.

The byurr!!

Suddenly Mirna splashed water in a container used to soak her feet into Shafira's body until the woman was drenched.

Erick was overwhelmed by his mother's actions, but he did nothing. His heart was still upset as soon as he saw Wulan's leg that was injured by Shafira's actions.

While Wulan covered her mouth because she wanted to shout excitedly, but she could not possibly reveal it.

“Mama ...! Pity him, right Ma if it is watered like that?” he said in a soft voice and pleaded.

“Wulan, you are too good, son, he has hurt you, but still you defend?” miran said, gently rubbing her daughter-in-law's shoulder.

“Already, Ma! Let me take care of Shafira!” erick said at last, “Honey, just rest in the room, and treat the wound yourself yes, can you?”

“Of course, Honey!” said wulan while kissing Erick's cheek. He now knows that Erick is on his side. So, she does not have to worry, if Shafira teases Erick because her husband will still love her.

“Come here! Mama help treat his legs!” Mirna.

The two women walked together to the second floor where Erick's room was located.

Meanwhile Erick pulls Shafira's hand hard into his study and the man pushes her rough onto the sofa.

He saw Shafira's face pale and occasionally wiped away her tears. In fact, he had seen that scene since he started breakfast earlier.  

“Mas! I really didn't claw Wulan's leg!” Shafira is still trying to defend herself. He was afraid that Erick would be violent, while he felt very unwell.

“Shut up and sit there! You also seem to need a break!” erick said while sitting in his chair he busied himself with some documents.  

Meanwhile, Shafira, helplessly sees her husband ignoring her. He was silent because he did not want to add to Erick's anger, he was grateful that the man had done nothing. However, due to exhaustion he ended up falling asleep on the sofa.

Not long after, Shafira awakens from the cold, and she does not see Erick. So he rushed to his room to change his clothes.  

After he finished he returned to see a quiet house, this was also used to do what he wanted. However, with fear, Shafira goes outside to buy a pregnancy test kit. Just make sure what he feels at this moment.  

But when he was about to step foot out of the house, there was someone who suddenly held his hand.

“Where are you going, huh?”
