Cut A Wound

"Why are you sad, Kanaya?" asked Ara.

"I... Eh... I..." Kanaya answered hesitantly to tell Ara.

"You just tell me, I will be a good listener for you," said Ara.

Kanaya told Ara everything about Hamdan, about the feelings Hamdan had for her.

"So he spoke his heart to you?" asked Ara.

"Yes."

"It's useless for him to tell you his heart, you are legally Bhishma's wife. Is it possible that you still want him?" asked Ara.

Kanaya was silent, she couldn't hide her feelings that she felt empty with Hamdan's departure.

"Don't be crazy, Kanaya. You have to remember, you already have responsibilities as a wife." Ara is annoyed with Kanaya.

'If only Ara knew everything if Bhishma and I both had to. Maybe Ara will understand it,' Kanaya thought.

Ara gives a lot of advice to Kanaya, Ara does not want Kanaya to fall into sin. Ara cares about Kanaya, she doesn't want Kanaya to do anything wrong. Kanaya understands every word of Ara. Kanaya also understands that Ara cares for her. The bell rang, Kanaya had to carry out her duties as a Koran teacher. He must be professional, he must apply his knowledge and focus his mind's attention. Kanaya doesn't want, just because of feelings, her students will be neglected. It was true what Kanaya had in mind, even though she was still teaching. Life after marriage was much different from before. Kanaya inevitably has to be devoted to her husband. Nor should she expect any other man besides Bhishma. It's not only his heart that is depressed now, his heart is also depressed when his brother-in-law sends a message that hurts his heart. Marriage is not just about a man and a woman, but the two families. 'Ever since you came into Sis Bisma's life, Sis Bisma no longer wants to take me anywhere. The brother-in-law doesn't know himself. You should not have changed his attitude just because of a woman like you.' Message from Bella, Bhishma's sister. Kanaya doesn't know what happened to Bhishma and Bella. But, Bella thinks Kanaya is the cause of everything.

Why does my sister-in-law seem to not like my presence? Could it be true, if Bhishma doesn't care about him anymore?' Kanaya's mind was full of question marks.

"Why are you daydreaming, Kanaya? It's time to go home," said Ara when Kanaya was caught daydreaming.

Kanaya did not reply to Ara's words, Kanaya immediately cleaned up all her things. The woman immediately sent a message to Bhishma to be picked up. Kanaya walked to the side of the road to wait for Bhishma.

"Want to be together, Kanaya?" asked Ara.

"No need, I'm waiting for my husband," answered Kanaya.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, that you already have a husband." Ara mocked Kanaya.

Kanaya only gave a smile, she was lazy to ignore Ara's greeting. Ara walked away from Kanaya, Kanaya was still faithfully waiting for her husband. The woman played with her phone to relieve her boredom. It was already 13.00, and Bhishma finally came to pick up Kanaya.

"Sorry, the road was jammed," said Bhishma.

"Yes, that's okay." Kanaya immediately got on Bhishma's motorbike. Bhishma drove his motorbike slowly.

Kanaya enjoys the scenery on the road, the streets are never quiet. Lots of vehicles passing by. Kanaya is also lulled by her daydream, she still remembers Hamdan. Hamdan left without saying goodbye or a word. His phone number has also been blocked. Kanaya could not send a message to Hamdan.

"Today we go to my parents' house," said Bhishma.

Kanaya didn't answer, because she was deep in her thoughts. It didn't take long, they finally arrived at the Bhishma family's house.

"Why stop?" Kanaya asked.

"We are staying here tonight, I have permission from Mr. Rahman," said Bisma.

Kanaya just nodded, the woman just obeyed her husband's orders. Kanaya and Bhishma walked toward Bhishma's house. Slowly, their footsteps entered when they reached the door. Bhishma's family welcomed him with joy and laughter together. From the look in Bunga's eyes, Kanaya's mother-in-law was not happy to see Kanaya's presence.

"Why is he coming?" asked Flowers.

"She's my wife," answered Bhishma.

Likewise, with Bella who is indifferent to Kanaya's presence, only Pak Amir loves his son-in-law. As usual, Bella was spoiling Bhishma.

"Sis, I want to buy this," Bella said showing a photo of a branded bag.

"Yes, Mas later transfers the money." Bella is only 19 years old, her attitude is also childish. Bhishma only has a sister Bella, the boy is the first child. So don't be surprised if Bella always whines to Bhishma.

"Father still has a business, I'm out first," said Amir.

Now, only Kanaya, Bhishma, Bella, and Bunga are in the house. Kanaya is needed like a maid in the house. Bhishma did not defend him in the slightest. He was instead busy with the work he brought home. Bhishma's attitude was much different when he was at Kanaya's house. Kanaya couldn't take it anymore, wanted him to fight. But, he also didn't want to trigger a fight. Sometimes, Kanaya ignored what they were told. After all, Kanaya had the right to defend herself.

"You have to cook now, I want to eat noodles!" Bella ordered.

Indeed, Kanaya cooked eggs and also boiled instant noodles for Bella. But, Kanaya put a lot of salt in it. The woman deliberately did that to give a deterrent effect on her sister-in-law.

"You shouldn't have done this," said Bhishma when he found out that Kanaya was cooking for Bella.

"It does not matter."

Bhishma's frequently changing attitude made Kanaya even more confused. However, Kanaya didn't think much of it.

"Salty!?" Bella rebuked.

Kanaya held back her laughter, and her laughter slowly faded. When Bhishma said harsh words to Kanaya. Kanaya was shocked and astonished, her heart was now hurt. Kanaya, who was not used to being yelled at, finally burst into tears. Kanaya ran into her room, she closed the door and burst into tears.

"Why did he say harsh words to me, when my father never offended me," Kanaya said to herself.

Not a day before Kanaya was at Bhishma's house, he already wanted to go home. Kanaya arranges a plan to leave the house. If he was there all the time, maybe he would feel stressed. In the voices of Bhishma's family talking about Kanaya, it turns out that the reason Kanaya and Bhishma were arranged for an arranged marriage is that Bhishma has a debt to Rahman.

'Why would my father sell me?' thought Kanaya as she overheard the conversation.
