THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 15 - WHEN THE EXAM COMES

My chest tightness, my inner disintegration. The test came with a lot of testing.

Though I have enough confidence, after successfully passing the test of life in adolescence. Being a broken home child who almost disintegrated when Papa Mama divorced and was not willing to take us when they telsh move on both have a new partner.

Lively dangle-lunta hitchhiking on brother. I thought it was the toughest test of my life.

God sent me a good man. What I thought was the last eternal stop to death. In fact...

The test of my life continues and continues. It's getting even heavier now.

Households were destroyed, my only sister where I shared an outpouring of heart was apparently also going through a lot of trouble.

My last place is God.

Prostrate to complain why my test came so long. Chosen to change even without being able to solve one by one, new problems have come again.

I invited Genta to talk after the prayer. Kupululi her shoulders while crying.

"Genta, awake! Who did you get that kind of money to borrow from? Huh uh?"

I'm hysterical, getting out of control. Makes my only brother overwhelmed as well.

"Sister, you're the one who should be aware!" he tries to calm.

"Genta, don't spend too much money, Gen! We are used to living hard. We've gone through the phase of not being able to eat let alone snack! We've experienced that before, Genta! Why did you borrow that much money? For business capital? Or for style? Do not you continue the path that is in vain, it will make your steps more difficult because the roots of the loan interest are swollen if you pay late a day. Don't Genta!!!"

I tried to open my sister's eyes. He's just a brother that I rely on even though from Mama Papa we also have another brother.

Genta cried on the floor.

"Sister... I'm confused! I don't know what else to do! Hik..."

Craned shoulder. I want Genta to realize, I'm his brother. His sorrow is my sorrow. Her grief is also my pain. His tears became the shock of my heart as well.

"How much is your total debt?"

"Fourty-five million following flowers! It was a hundred million, but I paid it after Bang Irsyad gave me money for the past two months. The total of Bang Irsyad is 35 million, Sister! Hik hik... So, I owe it to Bang Irsyad now!"

Surprised to hear Genta's shocking speech. My heart is beating fast.

"Hundred million? Why did you borrow that kind of money?"

"I originally borrowed three million, secure payment. Then the top up again doubled, I can still pay monthly. Then it goes up again to ten million. I started to get dizzy and sometimes a week I paid off my debts. But the flowers keep going!"

"That's for sure! You know that a long time ago?" pissed.

"Hik hiks. Me, dizzy... The printer machine in the office warehouse I had to bring to sell. Boss was angry to know what I was doing. I was dishonorably fired from the company I work for, brother! I'm ruined, brother! I want to be free from this debt! That's why I took advantage of you, by accepting the offer of some money and silencing her cruel treatment to you. Bamg Irsyad also invited me to villa Eyang Subur. He said, Eyang can help my problems after seven flower baths every Friday night kliwon. I have performed the ritual once. There are two more kliwon."

Plaques

I was angry at Genta.

This scathing slap I hope can wake my sister from her biggest mistake of allying herself with the devil.

"You're an Eyang follower? Follow all the advice even though over time your brain becomes tilted and empty? Just obey his orders? That so?"

I'm so stupefied.

We were raised less than the affection and proper upbringing of our parents.

But since childhood we have also often taught to one of the elders in the area where we live. At least, there is a solid foundation and grip on life because we understand a little bit of the commandments of God, our Lord.

"We are despicable humans, Genta! We rarely give thanks to Him! But don't let us also be kufr humans! Let alone believing a lewd shaman like that Eyang Fertile! Believe in the greatness of God! Not with that earth-smelling peyot battery!!!"

"Sister! That one is not a random person! He has high science! A lot of great people who also like to come and ask for mercy on him. Especially to smooth the way of business and office."

"I don't care! He's human, Genta! Just like us! Eating rice. Maybe even rice porridge because it has no teeth!"

I'm upset high-level scolding Genta. His brain was already half contaminated with the magic that the peyot battery was using.

Now I'm more aware. That vicious circle has already taken control of the life around me.

...........

My footsteps grew steadily as the fence of the house where we used to live together was seen after getting off the online motorcycle.

My efforts seem to have no problem even though the owner is now shaking.

Unknown people alternated in and out of the fence for business buying and selling in my online store. A busy day and bring blessing to the income of online stores.

"Trainer!" my broom when I see someone familiar coming out next door. My online store is right next to our house.

"Mother Liana!?"

We approached each other. Holding hands after a trip.

"How are you doing, Ratih?" I asked with overflowing feelings.

"good. Mom, how are you?" tanyanya while gently rubbing my cheek.

"Mom Liana?" Vishnu, my employees also came straight to me.

"I_mother?"

I am getting more and more recognized by my employees.

"Liana! What are you gonna do here?"

Strange questions certainly that make my forehead frowning confused. Bang Irsyad, as if hating my arrival. Of course I'm angry not to take it for granted his dislike of being honest.

Of course I don't accept his humiliation in front of our employees.

He's the one at fault, but why does he think I'm the prime suspect.

I cut his back.

"Go! I've done all your business with Genta, Liana!"

"You're evil, Bang! You took advantage of Genta's state! You,"

"Sister!"

I'm choked.

An innocent innocent and kind face was now in front of me. In front of my own door. What I built with Bang Irsyad with our ideas and long discussions every night before bed.

Katliya, standing in front with a mysterious look. It is hard to tell what his strange gaze meant. There is a lisp, a flash too, as if cupu when the temperature. He looked at me unmoved.

............

We sit on the sofa at home. My house, to be exact.

Unfortunately because of my naive innocence, which some might call me a stupid woman.

All our household assets, all taken care of under the name of Bang Irsyad as the owner and the person in charge.

It did not occur to me that this day all became regrets deep in my heart.

The land, the house, the shop building, the car, some motorbikes and also some land certificates that we have, all inscribed Irsyad's name as the legal owner. I wasn't. Stupid yourself this!

In the past, I thought, our household would be safe until the end of time. There will be no painful case that makes us have to divide the treasure.

Moreover, if we have children, it will certainly be an inheritance asset for our children later. So all those treasures won't be a problem even on his behalf.

But apparently, I'm too innocent to live this life.

I forgot because I felt happy enough during my life with him.

I forget that love is not always beautiful. I forget, I also had a scary time to get to know love and housekeeping.

An Irsyad has turned my fears into a love slave who believes in sweet promises and false love all along.

He said, I am like the brightest star that always illuminates his life.

He said I was the only moon that lit up his night.

There are months one, two, three... Except for the month of the year there are twelve. So seduce and adoration first.

I often complain about my weaknesses. Can't cook, can't take care of the house. But he said, He was looking for a reliable wife to help him as a navigator instead of looking for a chef and a washerman.

It doesn't matter if you can cook or not. You don't have to be smart to take care of the house. To him, the couple was a loyal person, in line and rhythm. Sharing places like grief, weeping jokes and discussions. That said. That's what Irsyad said ten years ago.

"Sister Liana!"

Katliya opened the conversation first. Makes me flinch from my past daydreams.

"Liya! How could you do this to me!" as I made the demonic woman swallow her saliva.

To be honest in my eyes he hasn't changed at all. Not so scary because it has a great shaman backing.

I saw her growing disbelief shut her fear to me.

"Sister! L'm... Don't know, it turns out my soul mate is Bang Irsyad!" he said while looking down.

I grunt. Laughing amusedly at his disgusting behavior pretending to be weak while venomous.

"Don't intimidate Katliya, Lian!"

I am no longer surprised. Hardikan Irsyad actually makes me smile cynically.

You've been his pet dog, Bang! Poor you! Be aware! Come to your senses, if you don't want to be this snake girl forever!

"We... Already married siri!" katliya added by raising her face again. Now his eyes are back up.

Hmh! Looks like he has memorized the studies of his Eyang Peyot!

"Yuk!"

I coughed again. My chest instantly tightened, and...

I vomited blood.

Apparently the lewd shaman's pet demons had also taken control of this house!

"Mother!!!"

Ratih screeched but dared not approach me.

Stupid irsyad just silence like a petrified wax statue no longer has a heart.

Katliya herself was deathly pale to see me instantly vomiting fresh blood in front of her. Even up to the table of our guest chair that I selected a year ago in KIA.

Hhh...

SERIATE
