THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 11 - IT ALL FEELS AWKWARD

My eyes opened after a long time of fainting sleep. The smell of medicine absorbed my sense of smell.

Realized I was in the IGD Hospital room.

"Sister!"

My sister's bell held the base of my hand.

My head is spinning seven-round. It hurts a lot. So that both palms of my hands directly hold the left and right temples.

"Don't get up, brother!" banning Genta made me stop this huge body from rising from the fall.

"Genta!" lirihku called his name.

No more power to stem the sadness in the heart. These tears trickled back, unable to stop.

"Genta. Hik hik hicks..."

"Calm yourself, brother!" I slowly whispered half.

We embrace. Close and stick. My tears broke in Genta's arms.

Again this memory goes back to my bleak teenage years. At the age of fifteen, Genta and I were lost to parental selfishness.

We held hands tightly as Mama drove to the house of Uwak Darmawan, her sister.

Genta and I, have tasted the bitter tingling of life as a broken home child. And I also hate Genta so much to remember those times.

"Yes...! Hik hik hicks..."

"Bang Irsyad said, Brother he can't handle anymore. Big Brother disappointed him so much that he would rather divorce Big Brother than constantly tormented his inner soul body living with Big Brother!" genta said slowly making my eyes wide open.

"He said that?"

"His parents raised their hands as well. They say your marriage can no longer be saved. Brother is too selfish and stubborn if given advice!" genta added in a small voice for fear of disturbing other patients who were also in the IGD room.

Of course I chuckled grinning. Unbelieving, besides they are good at acting, also good at stringing fake story words.

Why not become a novel writer just let many dear readers who are also touched by their stories.

I'm thieving. Wipe the tears on this cheek.

"And you believe what they say, Genta?" I ask my sister just my way.

Genta silently did not answer.

I don't know. I can't guess the way he thinks. He was too quiet and difficult to guess whether he was on my side or not.

"Sister... I can't help you with household matters! If there is a strong desire Bang Irsyad divorced, I can't do anything!"

"So you blame your brother too? At least you should prevent my and Irsyad's separation, right? You know what, Genta? He wants to get married again! She's already engaged to the other woman behind me!"

"Look, Genta! My cheek was bruised, the tip of my lip was smashed with a slap and hit Bang Irsyad! She's gone mad, so are Mother Agis and Father Idham. Do you have the slightest suspicion of their attitude changing drastically 80 degrees?"

"You know? Who will be his young wife? Katliya! Katlieya!!! The first woman to become my employee in an online store that I built with great difficulty and now recognized her license on behalf of Irsyad!!!"

"Hhh...! You're selfish, brother! Too selfish!"

"I? Selfish??? What does that mean, Gen? He is selfish! He wants to get married again even cheating on my back!!!"

Genta shuts my mouth. The IGD space echoed by my discordant voice.

Deg

My heart seemed to stop when I heard Genta's praise for Katliya.

Okay, pretty and sholeh?

Well maybe it is. Long ago. Sodia, it could be. He worshiped five times. But pretty? I said that Ratih, who is 31 years old and has two children, is much more beautiful than Katliya. Beautiful what?

Are Genta and Bang Irsyad blind? Can't tell a beautiful woman apart or can it?

I am myself, quite beautiful (said some people). My face is baby face, my nose is big and my lips are tiny. There are even some people who like the shape of my eyes are beautiful even without mascara and false eyelashes.

Unfortunately I'm fat. My body is round with many folds in the abdomen and waist. That's weakness.

And my flaws, I'm not perfect yet to be a whole woman.

I have never been pregnant and never given birth. Especially after the surgery on my uterus. Although the surgeon said that my uterine sac is fine without any problems, but until now I have not produced embryos from the zygote that we melted after farming.

Hhh...

I say long and much. Genta was silent. His eyes looked tired, his face was also so shabby.

"Are you okay, Genta?" I was worried when my sister's face looked pale.

"I'm having a real problem too, brother!" genta's tukas keeps me stuck.

"What's up, Genta?"

I held her wrist with netra probing into the ripples of her eyeballs.

"I... Affected by the online loan case, sister! My debt, detected to be a hundred million rupiah?"

"What???"

Oh, my God, my God! What is it about our life circumstances that were originally fine after a full battle against hard life.

I looked at my sister's face. We were back in sadness. Crying together in a quiet hospital IGD room in the late afternoon.

Tonight, a sad and heartbreaking night for Me and Genta. Me, 32 and Genta 27. Crying in silence because the harshness of life is so bitterly painful.

Just last night, I was treated at the IGD. The next morning the doctor let me go home because my condition was stable.

"Don't go to your house, brother!" ban Genta.

Of course I asked the reason.

"Why?"

"Bang Irsyad has given me twenty million dollars. He said, Brother just come with me at the new rented house. Later Bang Irsyad will send Brother money every month until your divorce officially tap the hammer!"

I can't say anything more.

It turned out that so quickly things turned around my life that was fine.

What happened to Bang Irsyad? What happened to her parents? What happened to my sister Genta? Why have they all turned into such a shitty person?

SERIATE
