I don't know how long I slept, when I opened my eyes I saw Mandala also fall asleep on the sofa still complete with shoes.
I got out of bed, looked at Mandala's face before I went into the bathroom.
Six years we were together, not a short time. Ever since I got married, this is my greatest fight with Mandala. I can't deny that I still love Mandala.
This incident, does not necessarily make me immediately do not love Mandala anymore.
Out of the bathroom I checked my phone. There was a missed call from Melky because I did put up Silent mode. There were also calls from Heru's doctor and Herman's doctor.
I also check the incoming chat or messages.
From Melkie :
"Where's sister-in-law? What's with brother today? My brother looks very angry"
From the doctor :
"Where's Doctor Chintya? Your husband went berserk at the anthology clinic. He said he'd sue us for leaking patient secrets"
From Dr. Herman :
"Come in touch with Heru's doctor. He said your husband went berserk in the clinic"
I took a deep breath.
Don't know what I'm supposed to do now. Doctor Heru intended to help me, but now I have a problem because of me.
I replied to a chat from Doctor Heru.
"Doctor take it easy, my husband won't sue the doctor. He would not open his own disgrace in public. Im sorry. Because of me, the doctor got in trouble"
I replied to a chat from Doctor Herman.
"Thank you doctor, I'll call Heru's doctor immediately. Sorry because I'm both doctors got in trouble"
Belly sounds. Yes, I am hungry. The hotel food I ordered for Mandala this afternoon was just a little. Now that it's starting at night, it's worth my stomach just keeps ringing.
I saw two boxes of rice paddies on the table. Maybe Mandala bought it when she came.
I intend to eat when I see Mandala moving from her sleep.
Our eyes met immediately. Mandala's eyes look red. Either because of waking up, crying or because of anger.
"You're hungry, honey, this is rice field. When I came, you were still sleeping. Eat now"
I did not respond to Mandala's remarks.
Mandala stood up, stepped into the bathroom.
I sat down on the sofa where Mandala was sleeping, picked up a rice box and started eating it.
With my anger at Mandala, I am very hungry right now.
The mandala came out of the bathroom and sat right next to me. I stroked my head gently. I tried to dodge it, but Mandala kept stroking my hair.
"We have to go home, there will be suspicion if we don't go home"
I just kept quiet.
"Dear, I promise. I'll explain it to you if you want to come home with me tonight"
I looked at Mandala. Can I still trust him?.
Can I hold onto Mandala's words?.
"Do you not trust me anymore?"
"Come"
"Ama is sick again, will add to the burden of your mind if we are not at home"
"Tell them that we're going back to the dorm"
"Tonight we go back to the big house first, I promise I'll talk to ama to go back to the dorm"
Once again I looked at Mandala with doubt.
"Okay, this is the last one. If you lie to me again. I'll never trust you until anytime".
"All right"
"I'll send a message to some people. If you do not keep your promise. They'll be looking for me the day after tomorrow".
"Darling, should everyone know our household story?"
"You went berserk in the clinic. Isn't that everyone's story there?"
"So Doctor Heru told you? I was just angry in the doctor Heru's room. Then it's Heru's doctor who reported all this to you".
"That's good, why are you mad at him"
"I just don't want him interfering in my household affairs. I'm doctor Faisal's patient, not Heru's patient".
"But because of Doctor Heru your lies are exposed and I don't have to keep hoping and feeling guilty"
"I've told you many times not to bother about children. But you keep thinking about it"
"I'm a woman who envies seeing other women holding their children. My heart aches to see you play with the Princess. I want to have my own son"
I'm back sobbing. Mandala hugged me.
"One day baby, be patient. Now you just have to trust me".
"This is your last chance. I'll trust you one last time. If you hurt me again, I'll go back to Kalimantan to leave you and take care of our divorce".
"I promise. I'll finish it soon and give you an explanation"
We're back in the big house tonight. I headed to the kitchen first before going up to the third floor. Mandala went to Ama's room because there was a doctor who came to visit.
"Sister-in-law"
I saw Nia in the kitchen making tea. Maybe for the people who are now in Ama's room.
I'm just smiling.
"Sister, can you wait for me for a minute. I'll drop off this tea first. Wait in this kitchen. I want to talk".
I just nodded.
Nia left me in a hurry. I sat at the dining table while waiting for Nia who came shortly afterwards.
"Does the doctor visit Ama every day?"
Nia sat in front of me while asking. I know it's just a pleasantry question.
"I know less too. It used to be the late Tiara who understood the situation in this house. I live in a dorm, I don't live here".
"Sister, do you hate me for taking the place of her mommy's children?"
"No, why do you think that?
"Sister didn't talk to me. Brother is ignoring me".
"I was too busy working and going to college. When I got home I was very tired. I'm grateful there's you here who can manage the house. Accompanying children"
"Don't think strangely. I never thought to hate you. How's your relationship with Melky?"
"Okay, Melky treated me well. We were friends when we were kids".
"You're not married because you're waiting for Melky?"
"No brother, it is my soul mate who has not come. Back to Melky".
"You guys were in a match?"
"Yes, but Melky refused. He said he only thinks of me as a friend. My heart ached at that moment, my sister. But I'm trying to take it".
"You intend to have children?"
"No, sister, Melky said she didn't want any more children".
"Maybe because Putri and Utami were small. Once they're a little big, you can have kids".
"Melky said, don't have children until your brother and sister have children".
"WHAT??"
"Melky loves her brother and sister very much. He felt sad every time he saw the older brother who looked at Princess and Utami. That's why Melky asked me to put off having a child".
"Don't be like that. Not because of me and your brother. I'll talk to Melky later".
"Don't sister, Melky will be mad at me".
I smiled and coded Nia through my eyes that the doctor had come out of Ama's room with Melky and Mandala.
Nia stood up and then came out of the dining room to take the doctor to the car park.
I sat in my chair. Just enough to look at them from a distance.
The three of them went back into the house. I stood up when Mandala gave me the code with her head so we could go up to the third floor.
I saw Melky looking at me. Melky is the same as Mandala. He understands me very well.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Melky kept looking at me.
I smiled patting Melky on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. I'm doing fine".
We took the elevator together. Melky and Nia came out on the second floor. Before coming out, Melky looked at me again. I smiled at him a little.
"Melky, don't forget"
"Good Bang"
Mandala opened the elevator code after arriving at the third floor.
We went into the room.
"I took a shower first"
Mandala went straight into the bathroom.
I looked at this room. Like there's a secret I don't know where to start looking for it. If there was a map that would be my guide.
Mandala out of the bathroom.
"Want to order some food?"
"I'm not hungry".
"Shower then rest, I'll come down again. There's something I'm gonna talk to Melky and Ama about"
I just nodded.
"Don't come downstairs, if you want something call me. I brought my phone down"
Again I just nodded.
Mandala's headed to her study. I don't know what he did there before he left the room and went down to the first floor.
I looked back at the ceiling. I'm lazy to go to the bathroom to clean myself up. I also lay sweetly on the sofa.
-----------
I woke up from the cold that was piercing my body.
I was still lying on the sofa in the same clothes as I was this afternoon. Mandala is not back. I stepped into the study, Mandala wasn't there.
I also went to the bathroom. Clean myself up and change clothes. Where's Mandala? Still talking to Ama? Why all this time?
I went out of the room and went to the kitchen to get some fruit.
"What happened to you two?you sons of disobedience!!"
The sentence was heard from Ama's room when I got out of the elevator. I also took my foot to my room. Not to the kitchen.
"Next week the fifteenth anniversary of the Lord. Have you forgotten what happened to God?"
"Dala did not forget ama. Dala remembers everything."
"When did you keep your promise? When did you banish that woman from my life forever?"
"Ama had promised to let us remain husband and wife as long as we had no children. Dala has done that, Ama. Dala has followed Ama's willingness to have no children".
"But I want that woman to disappear forever. Let the gods calm down in nature"
"Ama promises not to hurt Ega if Dala follows Ama's will".
"That was then, now I'm changing my mind. I'll find someone to do it if you can't"
"Ama, Dala loves Ega. Please don't hurt Ega"
"Love is also what makes the gods go away from me forever".
"Mom please let us stay together. I'm gonna take Ega away from here. Far from Ama."
"And you also stay away from me? I want you and your sister Melky to stay with me".
"Alright, Dala will continue with Ama. But let Ega go. Dala will take Ega back to her mother. We will part as she wants Ama. But don't hurt Ega".
My tears are pouring down hard. I closed my mouth so that my crying could not be heard. I could no longer listen to their conversation. I re-entered the elevator and climbed to the third floor.
I slammed my body firmly on the bed. I roared loudly. I know this room is soundproof. I am free to cry and scream as I please.
Turns out Ama's been pretending to be nice to me. Turns out Ama doesn't like me. What's my fault with Ama? Who's God? What does God have to do with Ama's hatred of me?
I have to get an answer from Mandala tonight as well. My heart is so troubled and sick.
I'll wait for Mandala to come back to the room. I need to get an explanation from him right now.
