"The drink belonged to Brother Gavin, I didn't realize that when Brother Bara drank it, I should have prevented it. I-I ...," Alice's speech was interrupted.
He bit his lips and threw his face away. He was too embarrassed to explain all that. It felt like he wanted to immerse his body into the ground right now.
In order to get the attention and caress of her own husband, she had to do such a ridiculous and shameful thing.
Bara got up and leaned on the bed rest. Glancing towards Alice's plain white back then cast her gaze at the blanket she was wearing to cover her male assets.
"Do you need that just to ensnare your own husband. I can't stop thinking about how lonely you are" she said with a flat face.
"Please get out of this room immediately, brother. Before everyone in this house sees. Let's just say nothing happened between us. I know myself enough, now go!"
"You kicked me out?!" tanya Bara could not believe hearing it.
When a woman loses her honor, she cries and asks for responsibility. The woman next to him just threw him away.
"I don't dare, but please come out! For the good of us together. You take it easy, I'll keep my mouth shut tight, " explained Alice back. Still with the same position, turned Bara.
The woman's eyes are getting foggy. He knew this must be the most shameful disgrace for the man. Everything that happened to them was simply due to accident. Any man who wants to touch a woman seems willingly. There was not a single part of his body that could tempt the handsome man.
The bewildered ember must say what prefers to be silent. He got out of bed, collected his clothes and put them on quickly and left.
The man looked at Alice for a moment, but the woman kept her eyes off and did not want to see her.
After Bara's departure from her room, Alice immediately got out of bed limping with pain. He locked the door of his room tightly and turned to the bathroom.
He didn't want anyone to get into his room before all their love last night he cleaned up.
Under the cold shower Alice cried. Her tears vied down and mixed into one with water droplets that fell from the shower.
He knew crying was useless to him right now, his tears were unable to change such a complicated situation. But his heart that was so sick, needed an impingement so that his tightness was slightly reduced. There was nothing he could blame but himself.
^^^^^^^
Tonight everyone gathers at the dinner table, except Gavin. Jenita and Immanuel seemed happy after visiting the house of his relatives outside the city. They just arrived this afternoon.
"Gavin where, dear. Why doesn't he join us at this dinner table?" ask the old woman who remains fashionable even though she is no longer young. His clothes and haircut made him look younger than his age.
"Maybe there's still work to be done, Ma" Alice replied lying. She doesn't even know if she's going home tonight or not, as usual.
Alice's eyes caught Bara's face sitting two empty seats away next to her. The man seemed to be casually enjoying his meal, there was no awkwardness and no guilt. Alice was a little disappointed, although she did not know what she expected from him.
"After what happened between us, he stayed relaxed as if there was no problem. Why would I be stuck with two sisters who messed up my life!" curse Alice in the heart. His face turned sad. He bowed his head, dropping his eyes on the food he stirred with no taste.
"Good night everyone!" gavin cried cheerfully. All eyes looked at him who had just arrived. The man's footsteps were so relaxed. He was wearing a blue shirt, a different shirt he wore yesterday.
Gavin kisses Mama and chooses to sit next to Jelita and face Bara. Alice's heart was pinched in pain, she was so sure her husband was reluctant to sit near her.
"Why did you just come home, son? We were waiting for you to eat together earlier."
"I'm full, Ma. I ate with a friend outside" she replied. Alice cursed in the heart. The friend called the man must have been his itchy affair.
The food in Alice's mouth was hard to get through her throat. The woman ate so slowly.
"Ma, Pa. .. I want to talk seriously tonight," said Gavin hesitantly. Davan squinted his eyes, noticing his sister's strange gurgle.
Alice tried to calm down even though her hand was gripping her tablespoon tightly.
"Say! What are you talking about?" jelita asked enthusiastically and glanced at Alice with a bright smile. I don't know what the middle-aged woman expected.
"I want to get married again. Marry my lover!" said Gavin steady.
Alice was shocked and so was Jelita. The clang of the falling spoon hitting the plate sounded from Alice's direction. The man's words were like lightning striking his heart. His face instantly turned red as it held in anger with that heart-splitting one.
"Are you still sane Gavin?! You said you wanted to marry us again lightly and without burden. Do you realize that the woman in front of you is your wife!" immanuel's anger at his son. Of course he doesn't like to hear it.
"I'm sane Pa, even very, very sane!"
"If you're sane and aware, you shouldn't say anything like that. Don't you think about your wife's feelings?" the bloody men of Europe.
"I don't love Alice, Papa and Mama knew that from the beginning. This was all due to the ridiculous request of the late Grandfather. Why should I marry this fat and ugly woman. Why not someone else!"
"Enough Gavin, watch what you say! This woman you despised is your wife!" the reply of the middle-aged man was quick and furious.
Jelita looked pity at her daughter-in-law. Look at those cloudy eyes. As a woman, she could not bear to hear the debate between her husband and her son. Gavin's words continue to reveal about the matchmaking and physical Alice that does not fit the criteria of the woman of his dreams.
"Already Gavin, don't continue this fight. Anyway Mama and Papa do not approve of you to remarry with any woman. Alice must have the same opinion as us."
"I don't care if Mom and Dad agree or not. Especially the approval of this fat woman. Me, I don't need it. I'm going to marry Gisella and my decision is complete!" gavin's resolve was already unanimous.
Alice breathed a heavy sigh. He had predicted this before. Repeatedly he thought of an answer if only this day would come.
"I don't want to be combined. If you want to marry again please. But please divorce me first. Talk to me now and you'll be free to marry whomever you want!" alice said firmly.
