Brakk!
Erlita closed the door of her room hard, then sat down and leaned her body behind the door.
"Why do you have the heart, Mas" Erlita said as she patted her chest tight. When Erlita learned of the affair committed by her husband, at the age of marriage they stepped on 15 years. And have three children.
Erlita was stunned to spill all the pain in her heart.
"I who always faithfully accompany you in times of difficulty, must be willing to accept all financial limitations. Even you're just a jobless man or you're just a pedicab boy when we get married. In fact, it is so hard for you to reply with an affair.
"alright,....Mas. let's see how far your affair is" he said.
"I need to find more evidence of my husband's affair. Had this household been untenable, I would have had to prepare the evidence at the trial, "inner Erlita.
At first Erlita's marriage with her husband was filled with happiness because she married the man she loved so much. Even their wedding party was quite lively. It was done in her husband's hometown.
But marrying the man we love so much is not a guarantee that we will be happy to live with him forever. Just like Erlita felt. Living with a husband who has been less grateful for what he got.
I do not know the turmoil of romance felt by her husband stirred when her husband began to know her name night entertainment. But all this time Erlita survived because she saw her three children who loved her so much.
He did not want his sons to lack the affection of their parents. If Erlita chooses to separate. During this time Erlita tried to hold back, maintaining her household for the sake of her children. Many times Erlita apologized to her husband. But many times also her husband gave betrayal.
Until one day Erlita found evidence of her husband's chat with the woman who became her husband's affair. Who is none other than a comfort woman in a dimly lit cafe.
Confessing to feel comfortable confiding with the woman, making Erlita's husband have a reason to often chat and video call with women who became her husband's lover. Is Erlita's sacrifice to her husband bearing children and also taking care of her children worthless in the eyes of her husband?
The pain is very deep felt by Erlita, but Erlita still trying to defend her household. Just because he remembers the happiness of his sons.
Life as an orphan since childhood Jhon does not make himself a better life. Even he followed the times, until he was able to betray the love and affection given by his wife to his household.
It should be if life is less happy since childhood, because there is no presence of both parents. It was fitting that John behaved in love and affection for his sons and daughters. And his wife too. So that his sons and daughters do not feel what he felt as a child first. But this is in reverse.
Instead John sows thorns in his household. The happiness of the Erlita household has now been lost.
flashbacks
fifteen years ago, Erlita was in a loving relationship with a simple man. Which he knew well and politely.pronounced the language during which Jhon against Erlita convinced Erlita, to establish herself married to the lover.
"Yes, honey. But you know for yourself how the life of the mas so far, which was only raised in the house of brothers because my parents no longer exist?
Erlita nodded her head. Then what's your answer? are you willing to live with me forever in trouble or pleasure?" jhon asked Erlita, when Erlita's love for Jhon was warm.
"Erlita willing mas, because Erlita loves mas as it is. Now Erlita who asked the same mas, do you really love Erlita? Erlita asked back.
"Yes, I love you so much, baby. If you don't love you, how could you propose" said Jhon while holding Erlita's hands that seemed to look at Jhon's netra and try to find lies there.
But it looks like Erlita didn't find any lies there. Erlita decides to marry the man she loves. Although her husband's profession her lover works odd jobs. For Erlita money, treasures could be sought.
A few weeks later, Erlita and Jhon's wedding was celebrated, attended by close relatives and other invited guests. Of course after the application was carried out in Erlita's hometown.
After the wedding was completed in the hometown of Jhon, now they return to the city, where Erlita has been working in one of the small companies in the city. As for now Jhon only works as a motorized rickshawman, but they live the day Meraka happily. Although the economic condition of the Meraka family is short-lived.
Even when Erlita was five months pregnant, Erlita had to swallow a bitter pill for being evicted from the rented house because she could not afford the rent. Erlita tried to find a loan to a relative or neighbor. But no one believed him. Because seeing her husband's job is just a motorized rickshawman.
Until that day they also had to leave their rented house so far. Trying to find a cheaper contract but they did not find it at all. Until Erlita and her husband decided to rent a room, let alone pay the rent, the room can be paid off to make Erlita breathe a sigh of relief.
After they moved into that rented room. Erlita's life is still fine with her husband. Until the presence of a Son who makes their happiness more complete. Erlita was really very happy with the presence of her first Son.
But the hurdle of economic upheaval is getting worse. Moreover, Erlita's husband has started to meet with one of his hometown, which makes him forget his job. Now in the household life Erlita with John has started to get into fights.
Even Erlita had to be willing to scavenge just to fulfill their daily lives. Because her husband sometimes cares and sometimes does not, because it is too cool to play with his village friends in a stall. Sometimes he forgets his duties and responsibilities as a husband.
Now Erlita is no longer able to pay rent for the room. Until the landlord returns to collect the rent. The money in Erlita's hands was nothing at all. But her husband seemed to not care. playing gambling in a stall makes her husband forget everything. But Erlita was unable to do anything. She still has a baby that she can't leave. And I still need a break after giving birth to my son.
