WIFE SERIES: THE BATTERED WIFE (ENGLISH VERSION)
CHAPTER 20: LEAVING WITH A HEAVY HEART

"Do you know Tranz is barren?"

Those words resonated with me. My husband is not barren, because if he is barren, he can't get me pregnant.

I looked at Lele. Is she playing tricks on me?

No. I know Lele's attitude. She had always hated Tranz's nonsense so there was no reason for her to play with me. "What are your plans now, Mina?"

"I-I'll just wait for Tranz. We need to talk so he'll be able to know the truth. I need to tell him the truth that I don't have a boyfriend, " I answered her tiredly. "Is there someone in our house? I have to go there. I don't have a place to stay. "Don't go home yet, Mina ..."

"Huh? Why?"

"I heard that Tranz hired a man to replace you. Tranz is furious with you. I'm worried that when the person Tranz paid knew you to come to your house, he might hurt you."

I can no longer believe what I heard from Lele. Is this my husband's personality? Why is he like this? Why do I have to suffer for sin that I did not commit? I'm innocent of the mess going on between Tranz and me, why can't he see that? "I tried to explain everything to Tranz, Mina. I told him everything, but to no avail, his ears are close when it comes to you. I am sorry. He gets mad at me too, eh."

The sadness is visible on her face, she even bit her lower lip as if holding back her tears. She stood up and hugged me.

"Tell me what I can do for you. Why don't you come home to your province first? I'll talk to my stupid brother first. And when everything is fine, I will call you." She let go of the hug.

"I want to go home but I can't, Lele. I don't want them to worry about me. As much as possible I want Tranz and I to talk first before I go home. But I'll talk to them by phone. But, Lele... "Yes, what is it?"

I'm ashamed of her but I have to thicken my face because otherwise, someone might pick me up on the road again.

"Do you have m-money? Can I borrow...

"You know there is no problem when it comes to money. Is that all? Or maybe you want me to take your stuff from your house?"

I was relieved by what she said. In that way, I have my resources, and wherever I go it will not be difficult. But I also lost hope immediately because my accounts may have been frozen.

It was as if she had read my mind when she took my hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry. You're still holding on to your money because I've already talked to Tranz about that. He listens to me." When she glanced at the entrance of the café her eyebrows furrowed.

Lily enters and their gaze met. When Lily's gaze turned to me her eyes almost widened.

I stood up and was about to start a fight when Lele took my hand.

"Don't make a mess here, Mina. We don't know if Tranz's man is just next to that itchy woman. Let's go."

She pulled my hand and we hurried out of the café. I even heard Lily call me but I didn't look back at her.

Now is not the time for us to face each other, Lily. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on someone like you. Lele pulls me into her car. We went to our house, but I stayed in Lele's car.

"Mina?"

"Huh?" Because my attention was focused on the house I didn't pay attention to what Lele was saying. "Do you want me to get your car too?"

"Can I?"

"No problem. But just don't go out, okay? You might get hurt when someone will notice you. Don't worry, I'll be quick.

I just nodded and didn't speak. I looked at Lele who was walking towards the gate.

As I stared at the house one by one my tears flowed because of the memory of the past. Happy memories of being with Tranz. I still remember his vows, his promise of love. All of Tranz's goodness was like water in a waterfall that slowly flowed through my mind.

We were perfect to each other. So I don't know why we are like this in an instant.

Is my fault so great that he didn't even visit me in the hospital? I did hope that if he loved me he would have allowed me to talk to him at least. I hope he knows my side.

Honestly, I regret all that happened to us, especially my son's life. My son's gone by our negligence.

When Lele came out of the house I wiped away my tears. I don't want her to see me cry. Soon I saw my car come out. Lele even parked it not far from the parking lot of the car I was in.

She ran towards me so I got out of the car.

"Your belongings are already in the car. There is also cash there so you don't have to struggle. Where are you going now?"

"I don't know yet." I turned my attention to our house when she turned there. "I'm leaving, Lele. Call me when Tranz arrives, okay? And please, be careful because your brother might hurt you. "Yes, Mina. Don't worry." She kissed me on the cheek. "Be careful. Call me, okay? I want to know what is happening to you."

"Yes."

I hugged her and gave another look at our house before I got in my car. I turned it on and it was a heavy feeling to leave the village which witnessed my pain and pleasure. I'll be back... full of hatred and resentment I said. For whom I said that I am not sure.
