A Cup of Black Coffee

Chapter 18

Mas Zhafran hurried to get up to see the conditions in the kitchen.

I just looked back, and Hulya saw that she too had moved from her seat.

"You just sit down!" abi's orders.

Hulya followed Abinya's orders and sat down next to me.

I saw Mas Zhafran walking back towards us with a tray in his hand.

"Without papa, the glass was not strong hot, then broke," explained Mr. Zhafran before anyone asked.

Zahra and Umi followed behind. Looks mbak Zahra so deftly arrange glasses and plates on the guest table.

Now everyone has gathered. Abi and Umi sat in our front long chair together with Bang Zhafran, while Mbak Zahra sat on the single sofa.

"Why do you want to split up?" abi Hulya asked sharply.

"I think only Hulya can answer Bi" I said.

Not wanting to corner Hulya, but I was confused as to what reason was right to tell our problem.

Suddenly saying that Hulya loves another man? He better talk to his parents.

Hulya looked up at me briefly and then looked back at Abinya.

"Ka-us ... Feeling no longer fit Bi," he explained.

Huh! Not match? The reason what Hulya was, was why she seemed to be afraid to speak to her parents.

I saw Abi and Mas Zhafran smiling faintly at Hulya's reply.

"Abi is sure you know Hulya Gil's reason. Speak fine, we won't judge you" Abi told me.

I exhaled slowly, asphyxiated as I said our problem to his parents. Honestly, I'm embarrassed because I can't make my wife fall in love with me.

"Hulya was honest with Ragil that all this time she could not love Ragil Bi and felt tormented by this marriage," I explained as she was.

I saw Abi take a deep breath, the matter of matchmaking is indeed too complicated. Some sincerely accept and end lasting, some are forced to end up full of pain, like me and Hulya for example.

"Let's know it's not easy for you to cultivate your taste. But it's only been three months and you're giving up?" he said a little insinuating to me.

Not because of our feelings, what if the person you hope to be with is already imprinted with another name? Hulya does not want to forget her feelings, that is what makes our steps heavy.

The tip of my tongue wanted to say that, but again I chose silence, trying to find a word so as not to just corner my wife.

"You should have tried to conquer Hulya Gil's heart!" sela Umi flat.

"I'm sorry Umi, maybe I'm the one who lacks effort. Although I feel I always try to reach Hulya's heart, but .." elakku.

Why was it my mother-in-law who cornered me, when it was clear that she knew how her daughter felt about other men. He who used to ask Hulya to forget about Azam, means he understands very well how Hulya feels about me.

"I'm not the man Hulya wants me to be. I do not blame him Umi, from the past even I was always able to marry women like this Hulya," I said.

Hulya lowered her head even deeper, whether there was a hint of regret or what, because I never cornered her in this conversation.

"So Hulya, is that really what your husband said?" sambar Abi who now turned to look at Hulya.

Hulya twisted the tip of her hijab, busy perhaps looking for the right explanation.

"I'm sorry Hulya Abi. We are just trying to improve ourselves, a lot of things that we feel are not in line lately" he replied.

"You are young, the way to fix yourself is not just to stay away like this. You just have to get closer to each other in order to get to know each other more. Have you dropped the talaq on Hulya Gil?" abi asked after advising us.

"Not Bi, I do not want to rashly divorce my wife, even though we choose to split the bed," I explained.

I saw my two in-laws and brother-in-law breathing a sigh of relief. Do they wish for our wedding? To be honest I'm the same, but if your crew chooses to plunge themselves into the sea, what can you do?

"Thank God. Abi asked that after this you establish better communication. Introspect yourself, you also do not give in to Hulya Gil's attitude!" pinta my father-in-law.

To be honest I was still curious about the words of my brother-in-law, Mas Zhafran whom she thought all had to do with Azam, wanting to ask but I was at a loss as to how to start.

I don't know why my in-laws also seemed to forget the words of my sister-in-law who mentioned the name Azam.

My in-laws asked us to sleep back together. I had to agree to it, because they decided to stay the night.

Mas Zhafran chose to go home afterwards without explaining anything to us. It seemed, seeing that her sister's household could be saved she chose not to say anything.

Arriving at the room, Hulya chose to sit on the edge of the bed. Because I was tired I chose to lay myself under the bed using a thick blanket as the base.

"I still can't go back with you Mas," he said later.

I close my eyes even when I hear him speak.

"You should have said to Abi, why did you shut up? You complicate it yourself! If you're honest, everything will end the way you want it!" my toilet.

He sobbed, that was all he could do crying, cursing, blaming and being rude.

There was nothing he could solve, for some reason he was so afraid to make a decision.

If he thinks that it's all for me, he shouldn't have to do that, what's in it for him.

"I'm confused, please help me!" her door.

Upset by the sound of his crying, I sat up next to him. Not next to each other, our position is still the same as him sitting on the edge of the bed I was under.

"What can I help you with? Help you thwart Azam's marriage?" my lips.

She then fell silent, it was strange that my wife wanted to ask what she was like.

"Aren't you supposed to be honest, yeah, so you don't feel this kind of confusion!"

"If I'm honest, Abi must have fired him. I don't want Azam to be dishonorably stopped like that!" repelled.

"Then what do you want? If you wish Azam, you know the risks. What are you asking for my help? I can't help you!" reply upset.

Suddenly he came down next to me. Of course I was snickering to avoid it, in surprise.

His gaze was hopeful, I felt goosebumps again when I saw Hulya like this.

"Mas can help me, I'm sure Abi won't blame me or Azam. Even though I know this isn't fair to you. Consider this your return to my family, how?" he said expectantly.

"Hey! Whatchu mean? I don't want to live a lie. I won't blame you, instead you know since I haven't even cornered you, don't be greedy Hulya! Face your own family!" elakku.

"I beg you," he whined.

I let out a sigh of annoyance, "I'll help you talk to Abi and Umi so that they don't scold you. Just that, nothing more!" my answer. Just as he was about to lay down again, he held my hand.

"I can make Saeba a widow if you don't want to help me!" threaten her.
