When My Husband Changed
5. Meyra's Sadness

Ddrrrttt .. dddrrrttt ...

Zicka's phone vibrated, apparently it was a video call from Marvin. Zicka picked him up immediately.

"Night, Ka," said Marvin while commenting on the sweet smile making his handsome face more beautiful.

"Night too, Vin," Zicka replied with a slightly forced smile.

"Why so?" ask Marvin.

"No more doing it" said Zicka as she leaned her back against the couch. Zicka was currently sitting in the living room. Daydreaming and daydreaming, that is what Zicka often does when there is no one on her side. Especially when the eve of a night like this, the quiet atmosphere makes it increasingly soluble in his daydream.

"I'm sorry, almost 2 weeks ago, I didn't stop you and Meyra. You see, there's a new branch of my shop outside the city. So busy. This was just a really nice way back home," Marvin said trying to explain.

I don't know what the goal is, but Zicka didn't ask at all. He was self-aware of who Marvin was and who he was. They were nothing more than brothers and sisters-in-law. Marvin's attention was considered no more than the attention of a sister-in-law to her brother-in-law.

"No papa, Vin, I understand. Yesterday Meyra nanyain you were, but I said that you are busy and thankfully Meyra understands," Zicka said, adding a faint smile. Not wanting to show too much depression of himself.

"Ka, how come you're so moody? Any issues?" Though Zicka had as much as possible not to show his gloomy look, but it turns out Marvin can still read his expression. Marvin always understood himself. Very inversely proportional to Marcel, his brother who is the husband of Zicka himself.

"No, Vin. I'm ... ordinary," he tried to show a big smile. But still, Marvin knew, that smile was not sincere. Something is awkward. As hard as Zicka covered up the problem, Marvin could still see it.

"Honestly, I know you have a problem! Your eyes can't lie, Ka, so better be honest with me. Who knows if I can help. Even if you can't, at least you can reduce the burden on your mind," Marvin said trying to make Zicka reveal the problem. Indeed, every person needs a place to complain or at least tell stories to lighten the burden of his mind. Because getting buried, instead of decreasing problems, will actually make someone depressed and result in depression. As long as he can help, Marvin will try to help. Zicka is the wife of her sister. It's only natural that he helped when his brother-in-law had a problem because he knew very well, Marcel would not bother to take care of his wife's problems.

"Nurtau ... "

I heard a rough breath coming from Zicka's lips. Those cheerful forced eyes instantly turned sad. I don't know what makes Zicka seem so frustrated.

"Tales Ka, why are you? Don't you mind your own problems and you're sick of Meyra, though," Marvel continues to try to persuade Zicka to open up to her.

"Emmm ... Marcel ... He hasn't been home for 2 weeks, Vin." Zicka finally began to open her voice telling her the problem.

" What? Where is Marcel's brother, Ka?" Marvin asked curiously. How could his brother be so heartless to leave his wife's child that long.

"No idea, Vin. She seemed angry with me because that night I asked her to come home so late that there was no time for us at all. After that he was angry and kept going so we left without a word."

Slowly Zicka revealed his main problem. Problems that make him moody because he is always thinking. She was confused, what was wrong if she questioned the whereabouts of her husband and the reason her husband often came home too late. Is not the right of a wife to have an explanation. But why, Marcel was so angry at him that he just left without caring about them at all.

"Jeez, I really don't know" said Marvin, feeling guilty.

As a sister, he also felt responsible for the actions of the brother who seemed to abandon his child and wife just like that.

"No papa, Vin! I know you are busy too. It's not your fault at all. So there is no need to feel guilty about it," said Zicka while forcing a smile.

"Is there another problem, Ka? If it's still there, I'm ready to hear all your complaints?" Said Marvin still trying to solve the problem of his brother-in-law.

Zicka nodded weakly with a sad face, "Meyra, Vin," said Zicka.

"Why Meyra?"

"Udah more than a week ago he wanted to walk - the path of the pool truck with his papa, but because Marcel mas can not be contacted until now, so I can not manifest his wishes. Meyra cried, Meyra was sad to be considered a liar as her friend because until now has not been a walk the same swimming. So I promise you tomorrow we will, but .. but even today Marcel still can not be contacted so I have to what, Vin? How can I make a promise to Meyra? I ... I don't want Meyra to be sad anymore."

Zicka puts all her load on Marvin. Zicka nodded and sobbed. Heart hurts. Heart's sore. It doesn't matter Marcel wants to be indifferent to her, but not to Meyra. Her heart was so sad to see her little daughter cry and grieve like that. Why is his father so desperate to ignore his own daughter? Marcel seemed to no longer care about them, his son and his wife. Butwhy? What reason? Marcel should have explained. If they are wrong, say. Don't make them like this! Don't make your child sad until they're disappointed like this!

"Ka, don't be sad! I promise that tomorrow you'll take a walk. You get ready tomorrow. Don't forget to bring your swimming gear! okay," said Marvin suddenly made Zicka frown. His round eyes so looked beautifully glowing when frowning like that.

"But Mas Marcel is ... !"

"Udah, don't think about it. That's my business. The important thing is that tonight you rest so that tomorrow can walk happily," said Marvin cheerfully making Zicka teary.

"Thank you, Vin, you've always been there for me and Meyra" Zicka said sincerely.

"Met night too, Vin," Zicka replied with a face that was more cheerful than before.

After closing the video call, Marvin tried to contact Marcel.

"Hello brother," he said as his call was raised.

"Hello also ,Vin. What's up?" Ask Marcel without further ado.

"So, why don't you go home anyway? Poor Zicka and Meyra brother, they miss big brother," said Marvin told about the child and wife of his brother. But Marcel was silent, with no sound at all.

"Sister, what's diem? Brother's still there, right?" Just a sigh was heard and Marvin continued his words, "Sister, today Meyra cried, she wants to go for a walk with her sister, when will you come home?"

"For a while my sister can't go home. Don't interfere in my brother's business! You better take care of your own business!" Firmly Marcel before disconnecting his phone unilaterally.

Tut tut tut ...

Marvel was so upset, why did her brother become like that? What exactly happened?

"Sister, you're totally outrageous! Don't be sorry for your stupid actions!" marvin's hiss is inexhaustible with the attitude of the brother to his own son and wife.

Bend the next morning

Brum ...

"Mama, I think it's the sound of papa's car! Yeay, Meyra's finally taking a walk. Pops ...." Meyra cheerfully immediately ran forward intending to welcome her papa.

"Hello beautiful ..." greeted Marvin with a big smile.

Meyra was wailing in search of the whereabouts of the papa but nothing.

"Where is it, Om?" meyra was confused.

"Papa?" Marvin was confused.

"Yes, papa," he said when he realized his papa was not there. Then Meyra's eyes glazed over when she saw that the parked car belonged to Marvin, not her papa as she had hoped.

"Hiks ... Hicks ... Hiks .. "the sobbing cry of Meyra.

"Why are you beautiful? Cup cup cup, don't cry the beautiful donk Oom," persuaded Marvin while pulling Meyra over his lap.

"Meyra thinks Papa's coming home, she knows oom. If papa does not come home means Meyra does not become a donk streets," Meyra shoot while sobbing.

"Who said go for a walk? There will be Om, if there is no papa, Om would like to take Meyra for a walk. Where would Meyra go for a walk? Want to go for a walk first keep swimming or swimming first just take a walk?"

"Ah, really Om want to take Meyra for a walk?" ask Meyra enthusiastically.

"When did Om ever lie to this beautiful Meyra Om?"

"Yeyyyh ... Ma ... Ma ... Ma .... Om Marvin wants to take us for a walk," exclaimed Meyra happy because finally her desire to walk and swim can be realized.

"Thank you Vin, you want to take Meyra for a walk. If you don't, you don't know how Meyra feels" Zicka said sincerely.

"You don't have to worry, Ka, while I'm still there, I won't let Meyra be sad" Marvin said as he gently patted Zicka's shoulder with a smile.
