Samarinda. At 13:00 noon.
I didn't expect Mr. Amran's wife to slap Reva on the cheek. In a panic I immediately took her to the room. Reva is weak. Just to walk he is not able to. As a result I carried it. His body trembled in fear.
I lowered Reva's body on the bed. He cried a bit and then slowly woke up sitting on the edge of the bed.
I opened his khimar. I looked at her cheek that was flushed from the slap earlier.
"Let's change your clothes first Rev."
She shook her head. All he did was choose to sleep and change his sideways position.
"Reva.."
"Afrah's tired. Afrah is tired of all this."
I'm speechless. I still see him as he pleased. Then I sat on the edge of the bed.
"Please change clothes. At least you fell asleep in comfort."
"Did you start caring about me now?"
"Reva.."
"Afrah wants to be alone" he exclaimed. "Think how I feel I'm being hugged by the husband I love. But unfortunately at the moment he considers me someone else. I can only what?"
"Your reality is someone else who has changed"
"Please leave Afrah alone Mas. Afrah's tired."
I just grunt annoyed. I also left from there leaving him.

Villa Cendana Housing Complex. At 13:00 p.m.
I just returned from the mosque in this housing complex after praying Zuhur congregated. Next to me are Father and Brother Arvino. They are talking about the real estate business that is currently being developed.
I just kept listening to him. But not with my mind and heart. Reva's name has been bothering me ever since. He was completely silent after the incident. Talking to me is just as necessary. The last time I left him before going to the mosque, he chose to reflect while reciting.
"Fic?"
I look to the side. Father reprimanded me. I tried to stay calm even though I realized that my family's mind was full of questions.
"Yes Dad?"
"Afrah. Is she okay?"
"She Reva. Not Afrah." I said flatly.
"Are you sure he's Reva?" brother Arvino told me.
I'm nodding. "There's a lot of evidence I've found."
"Did he really go to college in this town? Em I mean, as I recall 10 years ago I felt like I never had a college student face veil." asked Kak Arvino.
Little did Arvino know that my wife was a university student in town after I told her, one day after the application at Reva's house 2 months ago.
"My father-in-law said his daughter was veiled after an accident. She's migrated and dressed up until now."
"Until when will you continue to carry your mass it's Fik?" ask Arvino at last.
I stopped my steps. Father and Brother Arvino also stopped his steps. For a moment, I looked at my brother in a split second. Looking at his eyes with Devika's cornea there.
"I don't know. That's my business. None of your business. If only Devika did not register with Bank Mata Indonesia, maybe I would not
getting a cornea donor to
can see and marry Aiza."
I smiled cynically. "Ah yes, of course with all the preparation of the recipe. I'm sure Big Brother won't forget about it, shouldn't the reception preparations originally belong to me with Devika?
"My prescription was canceled after the Devika accident so that Mother diverted it to Brother rather than cancel it on the wedding organizer." I added again.
"Why did you bring him up Fik?! The other one who did it was your brother, not someone else." said Dad protested.
I looked at my father who was angry with me. I just smiled smirk. "At least it's a warning to Brother not to take care of my life. Fikri's gone."
"Ficily! What kind of sister are you!" Shouted my brother furiously.
"Arvino. Calm yourself, son."
I ignored him and left my Father and Brother with all his anger. He thinks it's easy to live after life when we leave the people we love?
Ck, what about himself in the past who ended up chasing Aiza's love despite our different situation?
My sister-in-law that Aiza used to have high self-esteem. Aiza is also not easy to seduce so that makes Kak Arvino who was once a playboy Lecturer one campus finally looks stupid because it has been blinded by his love.
🥀🥀🥀🥀
"Silence Afrah, calm down."
"Afrah's scared Bun. Afrah's scared."
"What are you afraid of, son?"
"Hate and loss.."
"Oh my God, don't think that way."
"Afrah was afraid that this family hated Afrah and Afrah was afraid that Mas Fikri would leave Afrah. Afrah loved her very much. She's Afrah's paradise, if she goes. she's.."
"Sshhh. istighfar Nak, Istighfar.."
"Bak, Mbak Aiza. Am I really Reva? Is it true said Mas Fikri we used to be college friends?"
"Em, Reva used to be my college friend."
"Can you tell me everything? I'm really confused. I don't remember it at all. By God I don't remember everything after the accident."
"Aiza, please help Afrah huh. Tell me a little bit of what happened then."
"Em, yes Bun. So this is Afrah.."
"Then Reva was a boarding house with me in college. Our rooms are next to each other. We're buddies. Not just two, but three."
"Who's the other Mommy?"
"Ficery. Azka's Fikri?"
"Mas Fikri?"
"Em yes. Me, Reva, and Fikri. We were friends with one campus despite the different semesters. I met Reva when she was in semester 3. While at that time I was still semester 1 of the new school year."
"Then?"
"Reva and Fikri, who I know are close to each other. But it doesn't have any relationship."
"If Reva is me, how was I? My appearance, my nature, and everything else?"
"If indeed you are Reva, you are my kind, friendly and helpful friend Afrah."
"Other than that?"
"You used to be a friend who often anticipated me about the girls who deletin Mas Arvino. We're like friends."
"When we remember our time, it's funny. I secretly like Mas Arvino, as well as you who like Fikri."
"So.. does Reva really like Mas Fikri? If I'm really Reva, have I liked Mas Fikri since college?"
"Yes Afrah. Reva likes Fikri for a long time. But Reva is the one who always gives up. Reva likes to be jealous if Fikri talks about the late Devika."
"Oh, so that Reva used to love the big baby Mommy huh Nak Aiza? Oh God, Mother did not expect. Though Fikri used to be geeky, wear thick glasses, anyway his appearance is a little tacky. Ah but then the son of Mother is smart."
"Hahaha Yes Bun. I thought so too. I also don't know why Reva likes Fikri."
"Well, what's the name of love, how else, Aiza? How are you yourself? Though Arvino was once a playboy, likes to change girls. Mother until the same sprain him. And Mommy didn't expect you to fall in love with her."
"Sometimes love is blind Bun. The soul is God's secret. We never know what the nature and appearance of our soul mate in the future. Only Allah is All-Knowing."
"Yes Nak Aiza. You're right."
"Afrah, Aiza. Mother's Daughters, here Mother hug. Mother dear to you. Mother's beautiful and beautiful ghosts. Stay patient in facing the household yes you guys. Don't run aground. Or Mother will be sad."
"Aiza love Mommy. God willing it won't happen, Bun."
"Mother also love you Nak Aiza, and Mother also love the same daughter-in-law of this beautiful Mother, Afrah Amirah. You want it Reva, Afrah, it's all the same. Mother will love you and accept you. So don't be sad anymore, son."
"Thank you Mother. Forgive Afrah if Afrah is indeed Reva. Afrah hope Mother will accept Afrah."
"Of course Mother accepts you dear. Yes, don't be sad anymore. Don't think about Devika's late parents. Mommy will speak well with him."
I was stunned to hear everything. My steps stopped in front of the door after I left Father and Brother Arvino.
I saw Mother, Reva and Aiza in my room. Maybe Mother was so anxious about the situation of Reva that she came to him.
With heavy steps I retreated my steps and did not enter my room. I'm shocked. Completely shocked.
I didn't think Reva liked me since college.
I also never knew that during that time he held his jealousy in the late Devika. Not only that, I also never knew how his heart was when I gave him the news that I was going to marry Devika.
Now that I realize, why after graduating from college Reva never called me again. I realized he was slowly moving away from me at that moment.
Apparently he was jealous and broke off our friendship.
🥀🥀🥀🥀
At night, 22:00 at night
I closed the proposal from Mr. Amran that he gave me about the business of D'Media corp for Japanese investors later.
In 5 days I will go to Japan to see him. I checked the clock on the wall, at 22:00 p.m. Everyone was in their room after dinner.
Feeling tired makes me want to go to the room right now as well as see the state of Reva. I went to my room and as soon as I opened the door, I saw the balcony door open. The night wind blew slowly against the curtains of my room. I entered my room and locked the door.
With a slow step I headed towards the balcony. I was speechless to see Reva who had changed into a long-sleeved nightgown. He still wears a hijab that is not as long as the khimar as usual. In his hand was a digital bag. Reva is a wife who loves to be dhikr.
"You're not sleeping?"
He looked at me. I approached him and stood facing each other.
"Afrah is not sleepy. Just go to bed first."
"Why don't you sleep? Are you still shocked to learn everything from Aiza about all the stories she told you about?" I said without further ado.
Afrah. Our eyes looked at each other. Unexpectedly he took one step towards me.
"If indeed Afrah is Reva. Will you forgive me?"
Reva clasped the back of my hand. His voice is so soft. His gaze was filled with hope and sadness.
"Said Mbak Aiza, Reva liked Mas a long time ago. That means, love has been springing from him long before the accident happened."
I'm speechless. And again, Reva advanced her steps until the distance between us was a little. But I backtracked my steps. I looked at him with wounds.
"But you know I never liked you in the first place Rev? Do you realize that Devika is the only one I like? Why Rev, why? Why are you driving Devika's car so there's an accident? Were you heartbroken then everything just happened?"
"Mas, Afrah-'"
"Yes, I know you're gonna say you forgot and don't remember anymore. But now you know who I've loved for a long time."
"So you don't love me?"
I'm speechless. Love's. I didn't know that. Right now everything is making me dark.
"So that's the reason why Mas has been avoiding me after marriage?"
I chose to turn my face to the side. I was reluctant to look at her let alone see the glare of sadness in her two eyes.
"Now Afrah realized why Mas Fikri often avoid me after marriage. Including when Mas never once asked for his rights to me. Afrah thought..."
Reva. He was seen wiping away the tears on his cheeks.
"Afrah thought it might be because Afrah was unattractive. Or Afrah doesn't look pretty. Every day, every time, Afrah looked at Afrah's face in front of the mirror. In Afrah's heart wondered, is Afrah not beautiful? is Afrah's face dull, does Afrah's body look fat? just because of the weight that rose 1 kg only Afrah willing to diet."
"But now that Afrah is conscious, Afrah is completely conscious. I avoided you for thinking I was Reva. A friend who's been branded as the killer and the cause of Devika's accident."
I eventually turned to look at him. "Yes, you're right. Very, very true Rev." I casually moved to the back of his body, not only that, I approached my lips to his ears.
"Just today, 30 days after we got married. March 1, 2019. The puzzle has finally been collected. Now I'm thinking about what I want the puzzle to be Reva Sintia." I whispered slowly to her.
Afrah turned her body. He looked at me surprised. "What is it you want?! What must Afrah do so that Mas can forgive massalu?"
"Are you getting tired Rev?"
"No." Reva shook her head quickly. And enough I admit that she's a strong woman.
"Afrah was not tired. Afrah is just anxious as Mas who can not move on. Even those who read our stories today also follow the same anxiety Mas!"
I just smiled cynically and then crossed paths. "Are you really sure that I want to forgive you and forget everything?"
"What do you mean?"
"Allow me, marry Fara."
"W-what? Ni-wedding?"
"Why? you mind? take it easy Rev, I'll be fair. I am financially capable. I can marry 2 to 3 wives. Lagian... Haven't I and Fara been in a match?"
He looked shocked, tears were already flowing with a rush on his cheeks. I ignored him and walked into the room.
Brak! the sound of the balcony door closing loudly, Reva stomped her feet on the floor violently due to her anger.
"What does our marriage mean to you?! What?!"
Suddenly, Reva blocked my path. He looks at me emotionally. I'm aware of that.
"Our wedding?" I smiled arrogantly. "Of course to solve the mysteries and puzzles of Rev. Didn't your father ever say that I shouldn't ask you anything if privacy was about you because I'm nobody to you?"
"Mas!-"
"You know what I mean by Rev. So that I can freely play puzzles of course I have to have it first right? You think puzzle sellers would be willing to play the puzzle if they didn't buy it first?"
"Wedding is the longest worship. Why do you think all this is a game? Are you not afraid that God will be angry?!"
Unexpectedly, Reva again clasped my hand. His breath was severed, his face reddened. Both of his eyes were sloppy. Then his gaze turned into a glare as if he already looked tired of me.
"Please answer honestly. Is something going on between you? Mas and Fara?"
I'm speechless. Why am I the weakest with his gaze right now.
"Did I like Fara? If so, why didn't he marry her in the first place? He could have solved the riddle by asking me nicely. I will gladly answer it. But why did he fail when Mas became my heavenly priest? Why...?"
Then Reva hugged me. He leaned his forehead against my midrib chest. The question just touched my heart.
"Why did Mas do all this when this halal love grew in Afrah's heart? Afrah could have been patient while Mas kept avoiding me and thinking of me as Reva. But if love is divided, is Afrah capable? Afrah cannot, Afrah cannot. Please don't fuck me."
The sound of Afrah pleading with her crying made my heart in a dilemma. What's wrong with me? Why am I so hard to describe? Why is Devika's name so hard to lose? Why is it so hard for me to accept Reva now? No. gabe. I can't lose the same situation.
"My decision is already unanimous Rev. Do not let you make me emotional and say 5 words that God hates."
I'm avoiding. My heart is emotional. I think I want to go alone. Then unexpectedly, Reva prevented my intentions. He pulled my wrist until he finally hugged me.
"I lost." Whispers slowly. "And I also give up."
Reva looked up at me. His outstretched hand touched my cheek gently. "God hates separation, it is the duty of Satan to separate a husband and a wife."
Reva had the tiptoe kissed me on the cheek. His face was covered with tears. Even his voice sounded soft. "Said Mother Afrah, when someone is becoming a fire, we must try to be water to extinguish the fire so as not to get bigger."
Reva touched both of my cheeks gently. Then he smiled. Smiled sweetly as if she was tired of all this.
"I'll take it. Marry Fara. If this will save the relationship between us, do it. Maybe Afrah will be slowly destroyed, but all that Afrah is currently doing for the sake of Mas. Can Mas meet the three requirements of Afrah?"
"What do you want to ask for?"
"Please promise me that after this you will repent. Ask Allah for forgiveness so that Mas will not denigrate the heart and feelings of Afrah. Do not sin and end in regret. Ana Uhibukka Fillah, Afrah loves Mas because God and Afrah do not want us to be separated in heaven."
Yes I realize. I've decriminalized her heart and her feelings even though I got all the truth of the mystery of this riddle.
"The second one?"
"Please forget about it. Forget Devika. Release her departure. If I'm Reva and one day those memories come back, please forgive me."
"I promise." I nodded. "What's the third?"
Reva looks at me in love. The look on his frustration face was so visible. He did all this to save this household.
"Tonight, exactly one month of our marriage. For 30 days, we wondered and guessed. After tonight, tomorrow will come and everything will change. Changed because of busy Mas to Japan or. busy Mas together-"
Afrah put her face. He hugged so tightly. "Sorry Afrah is not strong just to say the woman's name."
Then Afrah again raised her face so close to me. I'm speechless. I looked into her eyes, and now her gaze was so serious with me. I feel like this moment of anger and emotion that happened a few minutes ago just disappeared as if I was falling into its charm
"Afrah wants tonight to be our night together after everything that happened between us. Longest night. There is only Afrah and Fikri Azka. There's no one. No Reva Sintia or Devika."
"Reva"
"Please, just for tonight."
Afrah on her tiptoes kissed my forehead.
"See your wife as Afrah Amirah. Look at your wife as Afrah who always worried about her Fikrinya, Afrah who always looked at her Fikrinya with love. And Afrah who always hugged her Fikrinya when she fell asleep."
DEG.
My heart is beating so fast. His words just made my heart flutter. The impulse from which I slowly pulled her hip.
Not only that, I carried her body on the bed. I opened the hijab and saw her long black hair.
I touched the side of her cheek. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His wiggly finger now touched my lips and rubbed them gently.
"For tonight only. We create our happy memories together." whispered Reva slowly.
I did not say much when the next second I kissed her forehead, her eyes, until everything just happened as I should have done a husband and wife relationship with Reva who is in the pleasure of God.
