Was chatting to a dear fren earlier, she was telling me all about her marriage life & what she’s experiencing rite now…
She’s my age & juz got married for abt 4 months now…I was there with her, holding her, as her wedding day will always be the mark that the day her beloved father died…it was such a sad sad day. She’s the 1st in her family & she got 6 more siblings..She’s the one with the career & all..She now has a husband which she very much love & had hoped that he would be there all the way, thru ups & down, till the skies are gray….
He was..up till they were married.
Since she’s the 1st one, naturally she felt that now it’s her responsibility to look after her mom & her brothers & sisters. Since they cant all depend on their mom’s salary alone (lucky she’s still working), she’s been trying to fulfill her siblings needs,as not to burden her mom so much, while maintaining duty as wife to her husband.
Her husband.Yeah I know him..looked up at him once but now no more.I looked up so high bcoz I saw how had he helped the family during all the haywire, all the dazed confusion when the master of the family went away so quietly, without any notice. How he felt responsible to his wife family & finally he got a whole family to him ( as he wasnt really had one before).
1 Month down the road. They started to quarrel, which is quite normal for newlyweds..well, adjusting period.
2 Months down the road. Wife’s brother came to stay with them in hope to find a job here, which definitely pay better then their hometown’s companies, in order to help the family. They are not poor but harta nie kalo mkn mmg habih, sapa kata duit tak abih?? Tu NGOK namanya.
3 Months down the road. Fasting month. Instaed becoming better, they hv gone worse. Only this time she started to tell me all this. Kesian die. You know, they were fighting every nite. My fren has been crying everyday. I know it’s not rite for me to blurb all this, but i couldnt help to share this out. Her husband dah start restrict her & controlling her like mad. The hubby keeps on blaming her bro what had happened between them. Her bro? is he krasy or what? Her bro has not even do anything as in to take control of the house hold. Dia juz tumpang jap kat umah KAKAK dia, utk carik keja sbb dia br konvo. Kat sapa lagi dia nak pi kalo bukan kakak dia SENDIRI. So many things had happened between them. The hubby tak beli mkn n tak ajak pon my fren to go out to buy anything for berbuka puasa tau..because dia takmo apa dia beli tu adik ipar dia mkn. gila saiko.
to be continued…..
(ehehe..jgnla marre..aku nak balik dah)
28 Feb 2006- sambungan…
haluuu…..sori la of not being able to continue earlier…byk keja la pulak, dgn training lagi….
anyhooos, the story turns out to be longer that what I thot of jotting down here..
Still on 3 Months down the road, the hubby memula ok when the bro use his motorbike to go carik keja tetapi tetiba perasaan hasad dengki menerjah dihatinya..he actually took the motorbike key to work when he was driving the car. Hence, making the bro cant go out at all…after a while, he started to rode the motorbike to work & bwk kunci keta oso…When his wife confronted, he said he want to save money..like DUHH!!
They were still quarrelling every single nite, & the bro balik kg before Raya bikos he heard they were fighting eventho he actually dunno what the real reason was.
4 Months down the road,after Raya, the bro came back to stay with them as he got an offer from a company not far from where the sis stayed, but he has to go on a 6 months training. By that, he will only receive allowance instead of salary till he start officially working with that co.
Dah mintak kebenaran n everything, so everything back to normal..but not for long…sigh….
Start balik…the same stooopid reasoning that the hubby gave..but this time he’s a little bit daring. He asked her when is he bro going to pindah & even called the MIL(Mother In Law) to asked her when will her son move out..Isnt that so cruel?? Her mom called her after numerous calls from her daughter’s hubby & she cried to my fren. How shd my fren react to that??
As usual, my fren tried to talk & discuss abt it with her hubby, but MAN BEING MAN, instead of focusing on the real issue between them (& and also admitting his insecurities & he’s at fault too), he just start pointing at the brother again. Mamat tu buat apa pon dak. He told her he’s going to halau her bro out of the house..the poor lady cried & cried. However this time with a stand, if her hubby halau her bro, she will step out too. She even begged him not to do this to her. But I guess, it’s juz MAN’s EGO..bloating up when his wife did that.
He said the he felt like a kuli in the house, but the real fact, he expect the bro to become a kuli. He said the bro tak penah angkat kain, tak penah angkat pinggan, tak penah lipat kain..cuba teka sape nyer yg dia tak buat tu??? It’s the hubby’s one lah…the hubby nak the bro basuh pinggan yg the hubby pakai, wash the clothes yg the hubby pakai n lipat kain bj yg the hubby pakai.WTF?? The bro tak penah even suh his own sis does all that to him!
Nite after nite. The wife tried her very best to hide everything from her family & everybody else. The only person who knows about is ME. She didnt even tell her mom, trying to maintain a good image of her hubby to everybody ( That’s what a person in love would do kan)..but of coz she gotta tell sumone, otherwise she’d gone krasy by now…
He wasnt like this before kawen tau.I know.He was the sweetest man to her. He provided such support/security/encouragement, but I guess it was all juz disguising. He doesnt even allow her to go balik kg at all.
You know,at one point the wife asked the hubby, by doing all this, by halau-ing her bro, what would he get out of it.you know what he answered?
Kepuasan. ( Eventho it’s costing you your wife??)
Kepuasan & Kebebasan.
When she was telling me all this, I couldnt help myself & told her, if he wanted kebebasan, he shouldnt be married in the first place.
She told that what he said…….. "Saya menyesal kawen dgn awak."
At this point the wife was damn broken to the bone, to the very core of her soul. And me myself was at the brink of crying, but I held up bikos I need to support her innit ( & bikos I was in my office while chatting to her).
How could a man say that to a wife that he so dearly love???
But this fren of mine is definitely not a stoopid waan lah…she definitely got her stand up again n told him " Kalau saya tau macamnie, saya pun taknak kawen dgn awak." Well, org majuk nye ckp kan.
I cant condemn her hubby to her bikos I know how much she love him…more than anything in this world..
The hubby told her he will tinggal her :
Wife: i x tahu nk buat aper dh skrg ni ryzza
Wife:dh byk hari i nangis…i merayu kt dia jgn buat camni kt family i
Me: die ckp pe pas tu?
Wife: dia x ckp pa pe

**********************
That was early last week. & guess what had happened now? The wife is at my house. The hubby halau her keluar rumah last Sunday nite. And it all started quite innocently. The went out in the morning to Nilai to buy curtains for their new house and all, hepi2…tp dah balik jadi lain pulak.
Dah dekat mlm, the wife dok lipat kain & masukkan kain tu dlm beg baju sbb dorg takde almari besar, so nak jage la kain dah basuh sume. The hubby saw that & terus cakap " Hah! Awak nak pegi mane pulak dah?" Salah sangka kan?
The wife got sakit hati & answered dlm nada yg sgt sedih, " Biarlah saya nak pegi mane pun.."
The hubby terus cakap " Keluarlah! Keluarlah pade umah nie, dgn adik awak sekali!" The hubby got so angry & tetiba nak pegi pukul the bro sbb dia kate nak ajar the bro. Korang yg bace nie sume berpelajaran kan? korang dpt ke tgk kat mane kene mengenanya dgn si bro tu? takde kan???? the bro takde kat rumah pon for goodness sake.
dok mengamuk nak pi pukul adik my fren tu, the hubby hit her. On the face. On her hand. (Tgn die berbekas tau sbb kulit dia sgt sensitif, seb baik kat muke tak…kalo tak cane die nak gi keje).
What monster of a man who’d do that to his wife, while perfectly knowing that his wife might be pregnant?
The wife quickly called her bro not to come up to the house..oh I forgot to tell, the bro went out to solat kat masjid.Luckily.Kalo tak, dah jadi drama masuk paper. seorang lelaki telah dipukul oleh abang iparnya di atas tiada sebab langsung yg berkaitan. abang iparnya hanya berfikiran seperti kanak-kanak apabila tidak tahu utk menyelesaikan masalah rumahtangganya.
So the wife bwk turun all her bro’s brg & baju down & quickly asked her bro to go sumwhere.Ternganga the bro.Actually the bro dah nak pindah dah this week, you know.
I think this is when the wife texted me to ask whether can I pick her up. Of coz la I can dearie.Got out from the house & went to her house, but it took me quite a while to reach her place. Brought her home. Her eyes was swollen. How do you handle this situation? I tak la pulak kol the hubby & give him a piece of my mind kan, trying not to interfere but more to become the supportive fren.after reaching my place, she texted her hubby telling where she was, the hubby didnt reply at all.
She didnt eat for 2 days.
Today, hubby called & asked her to come back, while crying.
She will go back tonite.
I dunno what’s gonna happen next but I’ll be there for her.
Is this what happen when u r married? Am I gonna face this as well? This is just 4 months down the road..
I have quite the same characteristic as her, probably because we are the eldest in the family & has got a sense of responsibilty towards our family. I can say we are strong willed people, still have our insecurities eventho we camouflage it very well.
But by being that, adakah ia sebenarnya satu perkara yg tidak baik?
Once ppl start pushing us away, we will go eventually.
I’m afraid of that. I can be exactly that. Even Jesse pun sama kan Jesse?
Sorry…I couldnt help to include my own story here..but I’ll save it for another "me, me, me" session..
