Evan lowered his head before Ayun with a face that was already wet. For the first time in 20 years, she shed tears just because of the woman. The words her mother spoke were so heart-wrenching that she was unable to hold her head up.
"Sorry, Swing. I beg you to forgive me."
One sentence said from Evan's mouth and it felt like it was really slicing Ayun's heart. What's the point now of that man apologizing? Isn't it too late?
When Ayun first saw Evan at the hospital, she gave him the opportunity to tell the truth. Maybe he'll understand, and it won't all be like this.
But what did Evan do? Her husband continued to lick his tongue, until finally chaos occurred in their family. Even very blatantly, the man revealed a relationship with another woman.
Then, now what kind of apologies should Ayun give? Which part should he forgive? Her husband did not even leave a small amount of space for her existence.
"Look, your wife can't even make her voice because of what you did" Mery exclaimed. He then rubbed his face, and tried to toughen up in the face of all this.
"Now it's up to you, Evan. If you really love and want to be with that woman, then go. Enjoy your life with him, we are much better able to live on our own without you. But don't expect you to be able to divorce Ayun, because I'll never let her go anywhere!"
Deg.
Swing who had been looking down immediately loosened his head and looked at his in-laws with nanar.
"Mother, what's Mother-"
"We're going to your uncle's house, Ayun. Maybe we'll come back tomorrow."
Mery immediately turned around and left the place, as well as Endri who was actually not strong enough to continue to see the state of his daughter-in-law.
"Wait, Mommy!"
The swing that was about to catch up to the steps of the in-laws was suddenly blocked by Evan, making him stare intently and shake off the man's hand.
"Don't touch me!"
Deg.
Evan gasp. For the first time Ayun said that to him, to make his body freeze instantly.
"Yun, you-"
"Enough, that's enough, my dear."
Swing raised his hand right in front of Evan's face, making the man immediately close his mouth.
For a moment Ayun was silent in that place. Her heart, soul, and body were completely beaten by her own husband. Why did the man have no mercy at all, had he been completely meaningless in the eyes of his own husband?
Swing took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly before talking to Evan. Enough, that's enough. He could no longer allow this chaos to last for long.
"Now tell me what you want, Mas?" asked Ayun while holding her chest, and leaned her body slightly against the wall.
Evan went back to silence while staring at Ayun with a wistful glance. The usual eyes stared warmly with a sincere smile, now it was no longer visible on the woman's face. But why does his chest hurt so much?
"I'm, I'm sorry to you, Swing. I know that I'm-"
"I'm asking what do you want now, Mom? I don't care about your apologies, because for me all is not left anymore" snapped Ayun who had completely lost her patience.
Ayun tried to keep restraint, but why did her husband even become so? Has his silence been considered meaningless? Is he a heartless machine?
"20 years, it's been 20 years so far I've been quiet and with you, Mas. And for the first time I asked, so just answer my question," said Ayun with emphasis. His lips trembled withstanding the turmoil of anger that was about to explode.
Evan was silent as he looked at Ayun, confusion now engulfing his heart. He also did not know what he wanted, he just wished for all of this to return to how it was.
"I realize I've made a big mistake with you, Ayun. But can't we end all this? I, I want us to go back to how we used to."
Swing was stunned when he heard Evan's words. Back as usual? As usual, what does that guy mean?
"You're asking me to come back as usual? What do you mean, you asked me to keep quiet when you found out about your marriage to another woman?" ask Ayun in disbelief.
"A glass only if it has been broken, it will not be able to be put together as before. Then, me? I'm a human being with a heart and feelings, Mom. You're asking me to keep quiet when you find out you're two-hearted?"
Evan shook his head with a frustrated sigh. "Then you want me how, Swing? Do you want this family to continue like this? Please think of our children."
"Well, whoa. Haha." Swing laughed loudly when he heard it. "You're the one who cheated, you're the one who married Siri. Now then, you've got a child with another woman. But you're asking me how? You're asking me to think about my kids, huh?"
Evan rubbed his face violently. Right now he really cannot think clearly.
"Jawab, Mom! You're asking me for all this?" Swing shook Evan's body until the man almost fell backward.
"Because of what you did, my daughter couldn't sleep all night. Because of what you did, my son did not focus on his education. If something happens to them, then I won't stay still, Mas" Ayun threatened, releasing her hand.
"Enough, that's enough. All this time I've been quiet and just followed what you wanted, Mom. But it turns out the reply was very painful." Swing smiled bitterly.
"My worth you trample, my existence you never even considered. 20 years of our togetherness means nothing at all. Now I'm sincere. So I beg you, divorce me!"
