After Party

Dinner Together

That night, after resting. Juna tried to call back Luna. Many times he called, but was not picked up at all.

Worried, Juna finally decided to try calling her in-laws home.

"Yes, Hello?" Juna's mother-in-law's voice rang out.

"Hello, Mommy? It's me Juna."

"Oh. Yep. What's up?" The voice across sounded shocked. There were a lot of kids there too.

Juna asked, maybe it was the voice of Kak Dewi's son.

"Look, Mom. Me and my family, want to come to Mom's house tomorrow." Sahut Juna held back his nervousness.

"good. I'll tell Luna." Answer her mother-in-law.

"If you can, Mom and Dad will be there tomorrow." Juna again.

"Good." Her mother-in-law answered briefly.

Talepon.

Without further ado, without asking for news. Chilly.

Juna took a deep breath for a moment. He just wants to, and hopes the situation is not too bad to fix.

Luna parked her car in the garage. Then walked limply into his pitch-black house. He walked alone to and fro to relieve his sense of affection. His sadness.

Luna wants to contact all of her best friends, but she also doesn't want to bother them by adding her personal problems.

All her best friends thought Luna was happy with her new family. They don't know what. Luna kept all her wounds, sadly, disappointed, only with herself.

"Luna.." Call Mother who suddenly appears from the darkness of the living room.

Suddenly Luna gasped in surprise. He almost dropped the bag he was holding.

"Gosh, Mommy! Just be surprised!" Sahut Luna while turning on the lights.

His mother's face looked tense and worried. Luna became anxious.

"What's up, Mom?" Luna asked her mother.

They automatically, walked towards the large sofa where they used to receive guests.

Mom just fell silent. Luna became more curious.

"Mom.??"

The clock needle moved in a monotonous groove with the sound of seconds filling the silence in the room.

"Juna just called here." Sahut Ibu slowly. From inside Luna's chest, a rumbling feeling was inexplicable.

"Oh, huh? Where is she, Mom?" Luna tried to stay calm and did not look too expecting an answer from her mother.

"Mom doesn't know. He didn't tell." Mother's mouth.

Her mother's testimony wasn't enough. Luna asked more and more. Why, Juna did not contact his phone at all.

"Keep, what did he say, ma'am?" Ask Luna heart.

"He's still coming here tomorrow with his family!" Mother's mouth again. Still with the brief description. I was confused what to say.

Luna listened to the news in surprise. He remembered his last encounter with his mother Juna. A bitter encounter that incised a wound in Luna's heart.

Luna asked what their destination was for tomorrow. Did they come to talk about the break-up of their marriage?

Luna shook her head while covering her face. He was scared and did not expect that this would happen to him.

"Mothers... Maybe Juna wants a divorce." Luna said softly. His voice shakes withstanding the crying. Eyes glazed.

Luna couldn't answer her mother. He could not control his tears. He almost fell down with sadness.

"Mom and Dad will call our extended family tomorrow. If necessary, RT will also be present. To listen to what the Juna is going to say and also listen from all of us to all the negative things that Juna has done in this house and to you! Let others judge!" Mom was full of emotion.

Luna jerks.

"Mother! What the fuck, anyway? This is an internal family affair!"

But his mother shakes.

"From a long time ago, I told you, that Juna is not a man who deserves you. You didn't believe in mom. Now, you must follow all the words Mother said. Tomorrow, we'll solve all these problems." Say mother firmly.

Luna was still sitting pensively on the sofa. Meanwhile, mother had already left Luna alone.

Roni pulled a chair for the Goddess, letting his wife sit at the table with the best view in this restaurant.

The view of Jakarta city lights looks beautiful.

"We haven't had dinner like this in a long time, have we?" Roni tried to open the conversation.

While in the car, they are stuck with their own minds. Dare not to open your voice. Afraid of speaking wrongly.

"Yes, it's beautiful here." Saying Goddess. He almost slipped and said, "It turns out, here you often bring him." But, the Goddess hurriedly closed her lips tightly.

Slowly, the pain spread in place of longing and affection for her husband.

"This is a steakhouse that just opened. I think you'd like it. Combination of two things you enjoy. Steak and city view." Roni said with a smile.

The candlelight on the table shimmered on the face of the Goddess. She looks so pretty.

"Yes! I like it here." The Goddess smiled broadly.

The Goddess remembered something.

"In the meantime, I need to call home first. The kids are it's time for dinner." Sahut Dewi while taking her mobile phone.

Roni looked on with furrowed brows. A waiter came to record their order.

"But, Wi, son, Kan is safe with Mom and her tantenya!" Roni was almost impatient.

This is what has been a problem all along. The goddess is always worried, especially the child's problems. Roni felt lost his wife as a lover.

The Goddess's face was shocked. Worriedly he put his phone back in the bag.

"Oh, okay. So, what do we eat today, huh?" He said in a cheerful tone to the waiter.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward after that.

Realize what has been their problem. They never really communicate like husband and wife. That is what they lost in their relationship. This is the right time to fix everything.

"I don't know where to start." Said Roni slowly. Sayup sayup, the sound of the piano clink in their conversation.

"I am too." Goddess Sahut. His eyes looked the other way.

Roni took a long breath. Then he grabbed the hand of the Goddess who looked thin.

"James of yesterday really woke me up. I thought about what went wrong in our marriage, so you fell and gave up. I think one of them came from my misfortune. Ii'm sorry. And this is me building all over again. This family, this love." Said Roni while grasping and squeezing the hands of the Goddess gently, as if begging.

The goddess was shocked as Roni clasped her hands. It is like there is a flow of electricity flowing from the hands to the rest of the body. His heart was beating so fast.

The goddess felt like the first time Roni clasped her hand. The first time they fell in love.

They enjoyed their romantic dinner. The goddess said nothing. That night. But, she did not try to release her hands from the grasp of Roni, her husband.
