Akad Shackle

Aggara

"We have chosen our own path, we have each other's lives. I ask you to be happy with your choice, at least my sincerity in the past is not in vain" concluded Rahma increasingly make Anggara not dwell.

Rahma stood up from her seat, and,

"I don't think there's anything else we need to talk about, I'm sorry there's so much more to do. I'm sorry." indirectly Rahma asked Anggara to leave.

His arrival to the house of his former brother-in-law far from Bandung reasoned to meet Athaya was just a mere mode, in fact his main mission was to thwart Rahma's marriage and he wanted to return with his ex-wife.

"Rahma, aren't there even a few memories that could be a reason for us to be together again? I'm sure you still remember all the sweet memories of the two of us in the past" still haven't given up, this time Anggara spoke weakly with a sad look.

"Mas.." exclaimed Rahma growled,

"Please give me a chance to be a better human being". Anggara looked up at Rahma who was standing with pleading eyes.

"Mas, you've already got that chance. God still loves you with the rest of your life, you can be a better human being" explained Rahma who did not understand the purpose of Anggara's statement,

"But I can be better with you" Anggara said without hesitation.

"You're exaggerating. You need to remember, we do have time to improve, but we do not have the opportunity to remove what has happened. Sorry I have to continue my work" Rahma said, choosing to leave the room rather than continue to hear the incongruous ramblings of Anggara.

"Rahma wait" Anggara hurriedly stood up preventing Rahma from leaving.

"Rahma, for the sake of our sweet memories of the past. I beg..."

"Mas, the past is only to be remembered occasionally and not to be repeated. Please don't ever expect anything more from me, right now you remember me enough, either as a fool you played with or as a good person you wasted" Rahma who was caught off guard with the attitude of her ex-husband also said spicy with a flat face. She is completely infuriated by Anggara's behavior coming two days ahead of her marriage to Tama only to derail her.

"You have gone mad Mas" said Rahma in his heart,

"Astaghfirulloh.." she passed by leaving Anggara in the living room with a chest rub.

"Decks"

"Tea"

Sister-in-law and Maya compactly called out to him when Rahma came out of the living room, The two of them have since eavesdropped on all Rahma and Anggara talk.

"Sister, Dek, please face Mas Angga, just tired" said Rahma who then passed leaving the two of them to her room.

Derr.....Derr.....Derr....

The sound of Rahma's mobile phone vibrating in her room distracts Rahma. He took a deep breath to neutralize his mood after seeing who sent him the message and some missed calls.

(Assalamu'alaikum)

(Darling, what else?)

(You're okay, right?)

(I called you? Want to hear your voice, let the heart calm down again)

Apparently the anxiety felt by Rahma is currently connected to the prospective priest. Rahma believes that if Tama's heartache thinks about it, it could be because he is currently uncomfortable because of the presence of Anggara.

"Subhanallah." said Rahma Lirih, for a moment she closed her eyes tightly clutched the phone that still displays a screen that is still on her chest.

"Wa'alaikumsalam"

"Thank God I'm fine, Mom, thank you for your concern"

"Sorry my phone was left in my room"

Rahma replied to a message from Tama immediately, she did not want to make her future husband even more worried.

While in the living room, Anggara was still there and sat pensively contemplating all of Rahma's words for him.

"Excuse me Brother, sorry A Budi and Yusuf are not home. So...."

"Yes May, I understand. Thank you sister-in-law for accepting my arrival in this house" said Anggara sad, she turned to sister-in-law who came along with Maya.

"Together, thank you for visiting. If Athaya is there, he'll be happy to see his father. Maybe next time you can bring your family here too" sister-in-law spoke kindly, regardless of whatever just happened between Anggara and her sister-in-law, he said, Anggara is still a guest who visits his home and should be respected and glorified.

"God willing Brother" Anggara replied still in a lethargic voice.

"I'm sorry if I had a chance to make a noise, I'd go. God willing next time I visit. Please tell Athaya if I come, and also tell Rahma congratulations on her marriage" Anggara spoke more wisely this time though the disappointed look was still evident on her face.

Regret and loss really Anggara felt at this moment. However, there was nothing else he could do but lament the regrets or decisions he had taken in the past.

"May, please also convey my apology to Rahma" Anggara continued to turn to Maya,

"God willing, I will tell you. Sorry if I sassy Kak, now brother may have realized, how valuable something that has been lost from the life of Kak Angga. And when Angga tried to find him, Angga never found him again." Rahma sighed pausing her words,

"From there I hope that Angga can learn, to no longer waste anything that Allah has entrusted to Brother Angga during this life. Do your role today well because tomorrow is not necessarily destined for us anymore. Take care of what has been yours, before everything is diverted from us" Maya spoke courteously, although sometimes his heart is upset with his former brother-in-law, but his conscience is sometimes regretful with the choices Anggara has decided. In the future Maya hopes Anggara can live a better life and not repeat the same mistakes.

"Thank you May" there was no rejection from Anggara, he thanked sincerely for the discourse given by his former sister-in-law. In his heart he confirmed everything Maya said.

Anggara also said goodbye from the house of his former brother-in-law. The goal of coming to the house he had tried, although from the beginning he knew if Rahma could not take it back but at least he had tried. Anggara started his car engine and drove away from the yard.

"Goodbye Rahma" Anggara's inner,

Anggara drove his car towards Bandung. He wasn't there for a few weeks. After a heated argument between himself and Friska Anggara chose to leave the house to calm down for a long time. He went out of town, the right place for him to calm down while avoiding his wife who kept trying to contact him.

His arrival to Jakarta is not without reason, he was determined to meet Rahma after hearing news from some of his business partners if young successful businessman Pratama Ardhan will release his bachelor. Anggara became more convinced after he was contacted by the secretary if he received the same invitation. It is clear in the invitation that Pratama Ardhan Hakim will marry Naura Rahmania, the ex-wife and mother of her son.

By not knowing himself Anggara intends to ask for a referral with Rahma. During this time Anggara can hide from his mistakes but not from his regrets, because he prefers ordinary stones and throw diamonds. The woman who had long been his lover until he decided to marry was no more than a con artist.
