The sky looks so sad. Details of the sky began to fall toward the earth. Dropping and wetting all that they will. To give kindness to everything that always awaits him.
This morning, Aini woke up feeling happy. There was a glimmer of hope that was clearly implied from her beautiful face. The hope that her household with her husband, will warm up again as before.
Indeed, Aini's household with Adit began to stretch back. With so much drama from the pregnant honey, and her mother-in-law who still dislikes it, makes her really stay away from Adit. There's not much Aini can do.
And when that hope was almost gone, God came with His unexpected help. Giving hope to Aini who began to despair with all the things she had received.
Aini still hasn't told anyone about her good feeling. He wanted to make sure before telling others that it wasn't just a hunch. In addition, there was an unfavorable premonition that had also approached him during these few days.
This morning, Aini entrusted Umar to Ratmini because Ratri will check the contents with Adit at noon. He did not want Umar to bother them while in the hospital.
At work, Aini took the time to stop by somewhere. He's been planning this since yesterday. Accidentally, he met Dawn. Together they parked their bikes in front of the place.
"Hi Ni!" Sapa Fajar friendly.
"Oh, Hi Jar! What are you looking for?" Aini asked as she took off her helmet.
"Yes, I happened to meet you. Can I ask you a favor?"
"Please what?"
"Eemmhh, buy a test pack." Dawn whispered slightly to the right of Aini's head.
"Buy it yourself! It's here too." Sahut Aini relaxed while holding back her laughter.
"I'm ashamed of Ni. Don't buy it yourself." Answer the Clear Dawn.
"Yes you as the husband donk's responsibility! Cook just buyin test pack for your wife just embarrassed." Aini Cibir.
"Come Ni! Please!" Kayu Fajar while cupping both hands.
Aini pretended to sigh in annoyance.
"Yes-yes. How much are you gonna buy?" Ask Aini pretending to be sniffy.
"Two. The money! That's good!" Pinta Fajar while handing over the blue banknotes to Aini.
"Later on."
Aini breezed in without receiving any money from Dawn. He went into the pharmacy alone. He also shopped for his needs and also Dawn orders of course.
Before long, Aini came out with two small plastic bags containing some drugs and test packs that he bought. Dawn immediately approached Aini.
"Here's your penance!" Aini said as she handed over one of the plastic bags she was carrying.
"How much is this total?" Answer Fajar Sumringah, while handing over the money that he still holds.
"Udah take it,,"
Aini had not yet finished her sentence, she was startled with a voice that was quite loud and very familiar to her.
"Here! So this is how you do outside?" Jerk Adit, who had just arrived in front of the pharmacy after crossing the street.
Aini. "Mas Adit."
Aini was happy to see her husband coming to her. He smiled at Adit who came with a face that looked angry and upset.
"Mbak Ratri has finished checking the contents? How is the baby's condition? Healthy right?" Ask Aini enthusiastically.
"Ai's already. Everything is good." Ratri replied briefly.
"Alhamdulillah."
As Aini and Ratri chatted a little, Adit observed Dawn closely.
"He's the guy in the picture, right?" Adit asked a little loudly, to the point of distracting Aini and Ratri.
"What Mas?" Ask Aini confused.
Dawn immediately frowned.
"He's the guy who hugged you in the picture, right?" Adit was angry.
"Wait a minute Bro! What do you mean by hugging Aini? And what photo?" Ask Fajar confused.
"Aren't you the one who hugged Aini a while ago at work?" Ask Adit without hesitation.
Dawns speechless. He tried to understand Adit's short speech but with a tone of annoyance and anger.
"Oh, which time was it? Ja. I caught Aini because her tiny body was hit by a running customer." Answer the relaxed Dawn.
Adit's heart became more rumbled. He cannot think clearly. He was already overwhelmed by the anger that was ignited so well by the second wife.
Yes, Adit and Ratri accidentally saw Aini and Dawn who happened to come to the same pharmacy earlier. Adit and Ratri, just finished buying the snacks Ratri wanted, right across the street from the pharmacy.
Adit actually did not see Aini across the road earlier. But Ratri saw it. And Aini didn't realize that.
Ratri, who had been consumed by persuading his mother-in-law, to keep Aini away from Adit, was happy to start lighting the embers in Adit's heart that had been extinguished.
The Flashback
"Here?" Ratri said softly, when his net caught a figure that was very familiar to him.
Ratri looked straight at the road, where he was at the moment. He had just finished buying some snacks for stock at home. He and Adit, just returned from the hospital to check the contents.
Adit, who was standing next to Ratri, immediately turned to his wife, because he heard what his wife said. He also saw where the Netra Ratri looked.
And just then, Adit saw Aini was having a casual chat with a man in front of the pharmacy. They look so familiar. Moreover, the man was even seen whispering something to Aini.
Adit's heart rumbled for a moment. There was a flash of jealousy and anger that instantly filled the aura of his handsome face. He was about to approach Aini, but his hand was prevented by Ratri.
"Don't Mas! Let's just look at it from here!" Pinta Ratri fast.
Adit followed Ratri's words. Because indeed, Aini immediately went into the pharmacy leaving the man alone.
The demon inside Ratri whispered softly into his heart. Tempting and seducing very gently to ignite the embers in the heart of the husband on his first wife.
"Is he the one in the picture?" Asked Ratri suddenly.
Adit looked at Ratri.
"Yes Mas. He seems to be the man who hugged Aini in the photo that Mom showed me back then." Imbuh Ratri fast.
Adit tried to look more closely at the man who was with Aini. He quite remembered, the male body was indeed a little patchy.
Adit started to grow angry. He immediately crossed the road that was quite empty, after seeing Aini who had finished buying something in the pharmacy.
Flashback Off
"He's Dawn, Mas. My friend from the course." Aini said as calmly as possible, in order to cover the anxiety that began to fill her heart.
Aini quite understood, what Adit was feeling right now, from the look on his face. He tried to dampen the anger of the husband, which emanated clearly from his face.
Dawn who did not know about the household problems Aini and Adit, trying to be friendly to her friend's husband. He stretched out his hand to meet Adit.
"Borrent." Saying Dawn is friendly.
But honey, Adit doesn't pay attention to it at all. He ignored Dawn's hand while looking angrily at the first wife.
The dawn began to grow clumsy with the circumstances around it. He pulled back his hand stiffly.
"Go home Jar! Tika must have been waiting for you!" Pinta Aini fast.
"OKAY. I'll go home first. Let's all!" Speak Dawn as softly as possible.
But, out of the three others who were there, only Aini nodded her head kindly to answer Dawn. Dawn immediately put forward his motorbike leaving the pharmacy.
Dawn understands, if Aini does not want her household affairs to be meddled by others. So, when Aini suggested to go home, she immediately complied. He did not want to interfere with Aini's household affairs. Although, there was a slight wedge in his heart because of Adit's words earlier.
"So this is what you did after I allowed you to go back to work? You must refuse to return to Bharata. Was this your intention from the beginning? For cheating!" Accuse Adit without hesitation.
"It's been said to you, not Mas, Aini never cheated on you." Answer Aini sure.
"Then, what happened just now? You're close to him, and even you guys look very familiar." Cecar Adit snapped a little.
"We met Mas by accident." Honest Aini.
"really? What a coincidence, huh?" Syndir Adit cynical.
Aini, who realized she was in a public place, tried hard not to be provoked by Adit's anger. He tried not to answer, so that Adit's anger soon subsided.
"Enough Mas! It's in a public place!" Sela Ratri suddenly.
Adit who also began to realize, because the anger that covered it slightly subsided, immediately passed from before Aini. He crossed the road back to his car. Ratri followed Adit.
Aini immediately turned on her motorbike, and prepared to pick up the son who was at her grandmother's house, after Adit's car left his place. And along the way, Aini did not stop praying, so that Adit would not be angry with him anymore.
After arriving at Ratmini's house, Aini immediately cleaned herself up. Let go of a moment of fatigue, after a day struggling with his work.
"Ni, find your friend. He said his name was Dawn." Said Ratmini, as Aini finished her bath.
"Yes Ma'am'."
Aini immediately approached Fajar who was on the front porch, after finishing dressing.
"I forgot I haven't changed your money yet Ni." Said Fajar quickly while offering the money that he had intended to give to Aini while in the pharmacy.
"Already! Just wear. It costs nothing." Answer Aini sincerely.
"But Ni,,"
"Oh, so you guys secretly agreed to meet here?" Sela Adit suddenly.
"Mass?"
Aini is shocked to find Adit at her mother's house. He who was chatting with Dawn, increasingly felt that something bad would happen.
"Sorry Bro! Don't just accuse! I never made a deal with Aini. How do I make a deal with her, if I don't have your wife's phone number." Honest Dawn.
Adit just kept quiet.
"I just came here to replace the money that Aini had used to buy Tika's order at the pharmacy. I forgot to give it to her because of your angry presence earlier." Imbuh Dawn.
Adit still did not react. His heart was struggling with his logic.
"Sorry Jar! Can you go home first? The money doesn't need to be changed, just wear it. And please give my regards to Tika!" Pinta Aini fast.
Aini realized, Adit was still overwhelmed by anger. He did not want his problem to be known by Dawn.
"Okay Ni, I get it. I'm going home. Give my regards to your mother and son." Answer Fajr sincerely.
Aini just nodded
"Sorry Bro! I'm here because I don't know where your home address is. I got Aini's mom's address, from Yoga, our old classmate. His home is in the village next door. He doesn't know where your house is either." It was clear before the dawn left.
Dawn soon left Ratmini's house. He did not want to interfere in Aini's household affairs.
"At least, I've told you the truth. I hope Aini's house is okay. And who was that woman? Is she Adit's second wife?" Mumbles Dawn, while on the way.
Indeed, not many know, if Adit has had two wives. His second marriage was closed, making the news not spread quickly. Even though they have been married for a year.
Adit left Aini's house just like that after Dawn left. He didn't even say hello to his in-laws at all. And Ratmini felt the awkwardness of Adit's attitude towards her.
Ratmini who had heard the chat of three people on the porch of his house earlier, could guess. Her daughter's home is being tested. He also let Aini solve her own household problems.
"If you really need Mom, don't hesitate to come here and tell Mom. Yea?" Ratmini's message is sincere.
Aini just nodded. He said goodbye to his mother with Umar. He must return home to resolve the misunderstanding between himself and Adit.
What it looks like, sometimes it's not like that. There are many things and reasons that may underlie what is going on in front of the eyes. Understand and think well about what will be done. Before the regret came when it all happened. And we can't go back to fixing it.
