When the Wife Is No Longer Attractive
Oversight Due

Mikaya sits on a row of iron benches in front of the room where her son is being handled by the Doctor. He is anxious and afraid that something unwanted will happen.

She heard a step approaching her direction, as soon as she saw who was coming, it was her husband. She contacted her husband on the phone of the clinic receptionist.

Mikaya immediately got up from her seat to complain about what had happened to their son and explained. But Andovi was more angry with him.

"What kind of mother are you, anyway? Take care of one child. If Afgari why-why how? Who wants responsibility?" exclaim Andovi with a soft but stressed tone of voice.

Mikaya's eyes let out a bulir full of guilt. No one knew and he thought Andovi would calm him down.

"I'm sorry, mas. I didn't know it would be like this."

"That means you're not a mother! What if Afgari dies?"

Mikaya shut her mouth because of Andovi's exaggerated speech.

"Mas! Can't you just not turn me on? I'm here worried too, mom. I'm scared and I admit it's all because of me. But that doesn't mean you beat me to the fullest, ma'am!"

Mikaya does not accept Andovi berating himself and says if he is not good at looking after Afgari.

"You said I'm not as a mother, but did you realize that you haven't been a father to Afgari."

Andovi blocked Mikaya's arm because he did not accept the words of his wife.

"I don't play a father to Afgari?" Andovi turned to the corner of his lips. "The money to buy Afgari milk where do you think it comes from? You forgot that your ASI is infertile?"

All mothers want to breastfeed their children. But not all mothers can do it. If such a word were to come out of the mouth of another, perhaps he could still ignore it. But the words came out of the mouth of her husband. However much his heart was wounded to hear it.

Mikaya's tears are hard. Andovi did not feel guilty for his words that so hurt his heart. Mikaya never thought Andovi would do that to her. Andovi was like a stranger to her. Either because of his changed attitude, or even he who just knew the true nature of the man.

***

Mikaya was relieved that Afgari had no serious injuries. It was just an external wound and it had no adverse effect.

Along the way home, Mikaya and Andovi do not talk to each other. Letting the silence slip in just like that.

Ten minutes later they arrived. Mikaya got out of the car, and saw Andovi still in the car.

A second later, Andovi pulls back his car and makes Mikaya wonder.

"Mas! Where are you going?" mikaya shouted as Andovi left.

Mikaya's shout did not make the man stop his car. He was getting away from the yard. Mikaya's tears rolled back down her cheeks, seeing the change that had happened to her husband.

After Andovi completely disappeared with his car, Mikaya did not go straight into the house. He looked at the sleeping face of Afgari. The billowing thread now continued to fall until it let out a miserable sounding sobbing.
