The Tears of Shafira
Chapter 14
“Mas! Why did you lock the door? Let go of me, Mas!” Shafira shouted while hitting the door leaf hard, but Erick ignored her.
“What's my fault, why am I in brackets here!” shafira exclaimed again, she cried out of disappointment and anger at Erick.
“I know why you went to your mother's grave because you wanted to meet your affair, right?”
The two men pitted each other from behind the side of the door. While Wulan just kept holding back the laughter by closing her mouth. He was happy because Erick's reaction was so unexpected. She thought her husband would only ban Shafira but Erick locked her up.
The plan worked brilliantly. He decided to go pick up his groceries that were still on the page. He immediately unpacked the results of his purchase in the room and laughed as much as there.
Shafira thought for a moment, then rubbed her chest and shook her head.
“Do you not believe me, Mom? I'm not cheating!”
“You're lying, who is that man if it's not your affair?”
“What do you mean Ardan, mas? He's not an affair! He's just a friend, Mas!”
It turns out that Shafira saying the name of a man, it makes Erick more upset and angry, he kicked the door and shouted quite loudly!
“If it's about men, don't expect me to believe you Shafira!”
Erick leaves after smugly kicking the door once more, he ignores conscience and turns a blind eye if Shafira is his own wife.
Shafira continued to cry and begged Erick to let her go. He just wanted to visit his mother, was that wrong?
The situation lasted until the next day, all night Shafira did not stop crying and calling the name of the husband, but his efforts were in vain. Fatigue and hunger whack, because from that morning he again experienced morning sick les. As a result, he vomited several times.
Shafira had almost given up on the violence her husband had always done. Finally, he was silent and chose to curl up in bed. Then, He worshiped and prayed for his own good. In addition, he prayed for his father and mother. Take off longing with tears and present their shadows in his room.
During the day, the state of the house began to be quiet, because Wulan and Erick of course had gone to work as usual. Shafira only sees the view from behind the window.
It just so happened that the window of his room did not face the street or the park, so he could not see anything from there. However, in his heart he began to observe the circumstances around, and saw the wall next to his room that was not too high. Sometimes, he heard the voices of many people behind the wall.
Shafira had only been living for a few months in Erick's mansion. So, he has not so memorized the surrounding environment. However, he could guess some things if around the mansion, it was an ordinary citizen settlement.
“Shafira! Shafira!”
Suddenly Shafira heard a voice of a woman calling her name from outside. He immediately went to the door and hit him hard. As a sign that he was locked up there.
“Mama! I'm here, Ma!” shafira shouted that voice was Mirna who happened to come again to her son's house.
“Shafira? You in the room?” ask Mirna after knowing that the one who shouted in the room was Shafira.
“Yes, Mom! I'm in the same brackets Erick here, Ma!”
Miran flirted to and fro looking for the key, she was sure Erick kept it around the place. After all, his son must have had a reason to lock his wife.
After finding the key, he opened the door to Shafira's room. He found the young woman in a terrible state.
“Why did Erick lock you up here?” miran asked without giving Shafira a chance to pass through.
He stood holding the door open so that it would not be fully opened.
“Lying! You think my son is stupid, locking people up for no reason?”
A moment later, Mirna gets a call from Erick, she receives the call while leaning on the side of Shafira's room door without taking her gaze away from her daughter-in-law.
“Hallo! Erick!” said.
“Ma! Is Mama home?” erick's voice came from behind the phone.
“Yes, did Mama have to send a message to you if Mama wants to stop by! Uh, why is Shafira you locked up in the room?”
“Well, Erick meant to say to Mama, don't let go of Shafira huh, Ma?”
“Why? What's wrong?”
“He cheated, Ma! And yesterday, she was going to her village, and I'm sure she wanted to meet her affair there!”
“Oh, yes? Then don't worry! Mama won't let go!”
“Thank you, Ma! I work first, want a meeting soon!”
“Yes, yes, Mama wait at home!”
Erick hung up the phone first, after he finished talking.
Mirna immediately glared at Shafira, after the call ended. Then, he put the phone back in his bag.
He approached Shafira who was sitting quietly by the window, then grabbed her hair.
“So, you cheated on my son, huh? Insolent, you yes!”
“Ma! Please take off my hair, Ma! Pain!” Shafira said as she tilted her head following the direction of her hair in the hands of her mother-in-law.
“Enak only, release? Sick, huh! You think, my son is not sick because you cheated?” said Mirna while pulling Shafira's long hair even stronger.
“Ma! I'm not cheating!” Shafira said grimacingly, she held her aching head from being pulled by Miran until she sat on the floor.
“Good! Where there is a badger! Now, quickly clean the house and cook good food for me and my son, oh yes, make Wulan too!”
Mirna said as she took off Shafira's hair roughly, until some of the long hairs fell out on her hands.
“Remember! Don't try to escape now! If you get caught running away, I won't hesitate anymore!”
“Good, Ma!”
Shafira followed Mirna's orders with a limp of her soul and body. He stepped into the kitchen to start cooking and cleaning his house. He ignored his hunger, sadness and grief.
Shafira had to pay love and be loyal to her husband with pain. He must redeem his loyalty to Erick with a sense of despair.
Her mother-in-law, who initially looks good, but in fact not as imagined. Her attitude and behavior are not much different from her husband. In fact, he also had the heart to let other women in his house, when it should be inhumane. Especially if you think about mental and mental health, and one's humanity. This is beyond the limits of a woman's tolerance and sacred nature. A woman who has become a wife should not get love and affection from her husband.
Eventually, Shafira plans to give birth to herself from the house, past the window.
