A Wound

Chapter 44's

All night Ara did not sleep waiting for Ibra's return. Until the sun was seen from his complaint, Ibra had not yet appeared. Makes Ara more anxious.

She tried to contact her husband. But since Ibra did not bring her phone, she did not know who to ask her husband where he was.

Ara slowly got up from her seat which from then on continued to wrestle with her mind. He then walked towards the door that connected his room with a balcony, and revealed the curtain that covered the glass door.

Ara stared blankly at the sky that looked so bright. There is no sadness there. Not what he feels right now. Until a drop of clear liquid just fell from the corner of his eye. Makes him quickly pull over. Maybe it was his last tear, because from last night he just kept crying.

In the dining room, Mama Reta who had been waiting for the appearance of Ibra and Ara for breakfast, finally asked Bi Ija to call her son and daughter-in-law.

Tok.dok...

"Non Ara's..."

"Yes, Bi?" sahut Ara, after opening the door of his room.

"It's breakfast time."

"Ah yes, Bi. Come on!" take Ara, who then walks with Bi Ija.

Although in fact, she was very embarrassed if she had to meet her husband's family. He did not even know what to say, if later they asked about Ibra's whereabouts. But it is also impossible to avoid.

"Old time anyway, honey?" mama Reta asked, welcoming Ara's arrival.

"Yes, sorry, Ma." Ara then sat herself down.

"Dimaklumi aja, Ma. People are giving up longing too" said Rissa, flirting.

"Where ibra? Is he still sleeping?" ask Papa Nahar.

"No, Pa." Ara shakes.

"Then where? Isn't he working today?"

"Ara doesn't know either. Last night Brother Ibra came out, and hasn't come home until now" he said bluntly.

Ara then lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed towards both her in-laws as well as Rissa.

"Where's out? Didn't he just come home last night?" ask Mama Reta. But did not get an answer from Ara who continued to be silent.

Seeing Ara who was just silent, made Papa Nahar understand that there was a problem between the two

"Yes, then we'll have breakfast." Papa Nahar tried to melt the atmosphere, eliminating the awkwardness in his son-in-law.

Mama Reta and Rissa looked at each other. It's like throwing questions at each other, about what's going on. They are even very memorized by the nature of Ibra who will leave the house if there is a problem.

"Yes, you have eaten a lot, baby. Let the spirit of the lecture grow," said Mama Reta.

"Yes, thank you, Ma." Ara then turned the plate in front of her and began to fill it with food that had been served on the table. He even forgot to help Mama Reta make breakfast earlier.

After finishing her breakfast, Ara told her parents-in-law to return to her room, to get ready for college.

Ara left for campus with a driver delivered by Mama Reta. Like two days before when Ibra wasn't around.

After arriving in front of the campus and her in-laws car had left, Ara walked out to the campus gate and stopped a taxi that happened to deliver a student there.

He decided to go to the boarding house, after previously sending a message to his friend that he would come. He decided not to go to college today.

"What's wrong?" asked Miya, when Ara had entered her house.

"There's nothing. I just want to take a break here. You're not in college?" ask Ara.

"How come, when you're here?"

"Don't mind me. Go then! I just want to take a break." Ara sat herself on the side of Miya's bed, dropping her tote bag on the bed.

"Are you in trouble?" Miya knitted her eyebrows together, feeling strange about the attitude of her best friend, who was not as usual. But Ara was silent.

Miya then sat herself down at Ara's side, and stared fixedly at her best friend. "Is this about Ibra?" ask again.

"What's wrong?" asked Miya, stroking her best friend's back.

"It looks like I'm really in love with Ibra" he said.

"Then? Isn't he your husband? There's nothing wrong with that."

Ara let go of her embrace and wiped away her tears. "But I'm afraid...."

"What's the matter again?" ask Miya. The one answered with a nod by Ara.

"Can't you be frank with Brother Ibra? You can explain everything slowly."

"I'm afraid he can't take it" replied Ara.

"Then don't say it. Just go through everything without telling."

"But one day he'll know." Ara's words made Miya too confused to think about it.

Miya sighed and stood up from her seat. He really doesn't know what to say anymore. "How about we go out for a walk? It can reduce the burden on your mind" asked Miya.

"No way!" reject Ara. Yang then dropped her body on Miya's bed, and covered her face with a pillow.

"Come on! I'll call Arumi." Miya pulled the pillow over Ara's face, and pulled her best friend's hand.

"Ara sat herself down and said, "how can I have fun when my husband leaves the house?"

Miya flinched in shock and rounded her eyes. "Go? Go where?"

"Okay, I don't know either. He's been gone since last night."

"Did he ask for his rights?" asked Miya again, and was answered with a nod by Ara.

"Jeez, why don't you just give it to me" said Miya.

"I told you, I'm scared."

"You won't know when you don't try. When do you want to go on like this? Until he really got away from you?"

Miya's words made Ara gasp, and think about her best friend's words.

"Do you think there is a husband and wife bond that survives without a husband and wife relationship? Who have actually done it every day, there are still those who leave their partners just because they feel dissatisfied. Then what about you?" said Miya, looking closely at her best friend, who seemed to think about her words.

"You think first. I'm out for a minute, I'm gonna buy you some breakfast."

Miya then passed away leaving her best friend. But he stopped his steps again and turned to Ara. "Have you had breakfast?" tanyakanya. Who then gets a nod from his best friend.

"Thank God!" she, who then really left, got out of her boarding house.
