Turns out I'm the Actor
39. Divorce

What happened that day had actually left a lot of wounds for Neta. The day that Salma came to attack him was the day that the harsh reality came to pass. On that day he proved to be a snatch of men's husbands.

On that day, he realized that his mother had not really been sincere. On that day he realized that everyone he trusted had deceived him. Although 3 months had already passed, but the wound was still clearly imprinted in his heart.

Until now, 3 months from the dark incident, he and Kei were still separated from their beds. Today Kei ventured to discuss the continuation of their relationship. Kei was quite patient by giving his wife some leeway.

However, no matter what time he gave, it was always lacking for Neta. He felt very neglected. The Neta treatment is different from before.

This morning, Neta is still drawing her custom dress design patterns. All the tools in the form of books and also a monitor neatly arranged in his room. The room looked like a working room with minimal lighting.

"Ta," Kei called slowly as he entered his wife's room after returning from his new office, a small company engaged in the production of coconut processing.

"Hem, are you home?" neta said just without turning his head. He just kept drawing.

Sreks ....

Kei opened the curtains of their room. The bedroom was supposed to be occupied by the two of them but these few months were only occupied by Neta alone. The dim room instantly became bright. But ....

"Kei, it's hard for me to say not to open all the curtains, just a little bit" Neta pinta with her sunken eyes.

Kei approached then suddenly sat on his wife's lap. Nia's hand was wrapped around his wife's neck possessively. He was like a child who missed his mother's touch.

"I miss you don't miss me Ta? 3 Months we never hugged. Look, your body is getting thinner. You don't eat anymore this afternoon?" asked Kei with a voice that sounded sad.

"Kei, you're heavy" Neta said. "Come down, let's just sit in bed. What are you suddenly like?" ask Neta.

"I told you, right? I miss you, I miss you Ta. How long will you be like this just to avoid those who insult you?" asked Kei with a look of his sad eyes. He stared at the pity of the thin female figure with a thin cheek in front of him.

"Until I can forget that incident, the one where everyone cheated on me including you." Neta answered him with her cold eyes and no expression at all.

"His gaze, a gaze that made me feel scared and guilty as well. Yeah, I played a big part in all this. She should have hated me, she should have been angry with me. Not going and running away from me is much better" Kei said in his heart.

"Okey, I admit I was wrong. But when are you gonna be like Neta? You're like an undead person who only knows how to draw. You only know the color of your clothes without caring about me!" pekik Kei's.

"Carers? Care you said Kei? Hey, sober. When you do all that, marry me pretendly and then fuck me with a purely evil plan to take our child and divorce me is there any concern for you? Is there Kei?" snapped Neta who could not stand all the mental problems she faced.

"Yes, I was thinking about sticking with you. But in fact, all of that just further damaged my mentality. I'm almost crazy because of all this Kei stuff!" screeched Neta with tears in her eyes.

"Why? Why did you come to see me when you only wanted to fight like this? Go Kei, go! I just want to prove to everyone that I'm not an actor! I'm a good woman! I'm not an actor!" neta shouted while crying and grabbed her own hair.

"Ta! Realize, it's all over! Don't raise the problem. We started everything from scratch" Kei said.

Hearing the quarrel, Nindy the confidant assigned to guard Neta also came to break up. He immediately took Kei out and left Neta inside his room. Instantly the atmosphere became silent and only one sobbing sounded.

"Ndy, is he okay?" ask Kei astonished. "Why is he so rude like that?"

"Sir, a few days ago was actually the worst day for my wife. Neta's mother tried to end her life because she was not strong with the insults of social media users. Grandma Fuji came that day after I called with a psychiatrist. Neta's mother was depressed and took a long time to heal" Nindy said.

Kei's body instantly became limp after listening to the words of his confidant. Kei sat down while shaking his hair.His face turned sad.

"So if you pay attention again, there is still a rope in the neck of the mother. He almost lost his life if I didn't arrive on time. Oh yeah, I had the tape before. I don't want to be accused of being a suspect if anything happens to my mother. Therefore, before entering I turned on the video recording and I found my mother hanging by the window" Nindy said.

Kei saw the video and she shed her tears. He was so sad when he saw that. For women to be well branded as a destroyer and the usurper of others is a painful thing.

"It is not easy indeed Sir to accept the reality of what Mother Neta experienced. Miscarriage, sold by his mother and deceived by someone he loved and trusted, was also labelled as a snatch of a man's husband at one time. It's very hard for him sir" said Nindy.

"You're right Ndy, well for his recovery, I'm leaving. I'll go away. Let her be here, so she's happy I'll also send her a divorce letter. But, you stay here until I give the order for you to leave. Can you?" ask Kei.

"What does it mean sir? Want to divorce from Mom? But this Father loves Mother very much when I see," he added.

"It's a sacrifice for my love Ndy. Seeing her healthy and happy is my way of loving her. If being away from me can bring back her smile, then what's wrong?"

"Seriously sir?" asked the non-believing Nindy just like that with the decision Kei took.

Kei nodded confidently then looked back at his wife's room door. She shed tears even without a sound. His hand shook when he saw the video footage from Nindy.

...----------------...

"Is he asleep?" kei asked Nindy who had just come out of the Neta room with a tray of medicine and drinking water.

"The reaction is 15 minutes from now, sir, you just wait" Nindy replied as she walked away.

Kei waited 15 minutes and that time came. He entered slowly and found his wife asleep. He every day Neta takes sleeping pills at night, otherwise he will not be able to close his eyes because his mind continues to be preoccupied with bad predicates attached to it.

Slowly, Kei got on the bed. He hugged her tightly and kissed her with love. There is no na*psu, there is only genuine affection.

"Tomorrow, two more days. The divorce papers you want will arrive. It's too soon, but it can at least make you happy. I love you" whispered Kei, kissing his wife's lips.

"At that time all of his relatives and shows were fake. But not with the ruler and also our kabul ijab. Also, my feeling after that is that I really love you. There is no falsehood there, dear," muttered Kei with his lips that spoke beside Neta's ear.
