ANELIC

Chapter 14

Ms. Ranti was busy cooking rice in the kitchen of Rajasa's house. Every day Ms. Ranti does help Mamah Rajasa take care of the kitchen and clean up.

Seeing the man she loved was not there, Anelis searched the area of the house. He stepped into the kitchen. "Bu Ranti see Mas Rajasa, right? Ane was looking for nothing," asked Anelis.

"So early in the morning go, Ma'am, use the bike. Maybe look for air outside." replied Miss Ranti who passed Rajasa at the gate.

"But tell me where are you going?" asked Anelis again not satisfied with Bu Ranti's answer.

"No, don't tell me." Ms. Ranti again stirred the cauldron containing rice that had been fed to her. Prepare to move to medium-sized rice containers.

"That's it, thank you ma'am." Anelis got out of that kitchen. His face is getting smelly.

Want to be as heavy as the incident he experienced, Anelis still have to put on a radiant face. Today, there are still many mourners coming. He cannot lose with the situation. For a moment Anelis forgot Rajasa's words last night, she tried to understand. Rajasa must have been hit hard. If even her husband who has been calm all this time, then ripple naturally. He lost his favorite family. During this time Rajasa has been holding back too often, even considering everything is fine. Although Anelis is often unclear when the mood is messy. Anelis had to put more order in her heart, just as Rajasa had always understood her.

Anelis was wearing a white coat mixed with a veil. The veil is enough to cover her jet hair while remaining visible from the outside. Anelis caught a glimpse of a sedan car that stopped in front of the house. His family from Bogor came.

Anelis didn't understand exactly who they were coming for. Rajasa is only alone, obviously no family will greet the relatives of Anelis. In order to honor people who are well known, they still take the time. As a form of support for Anelis. In marriage, the family becomes a determining factor in the permanence of love that is pledged through the agreement of the qabul ijab switch. Being willing to marry means being willing to accept her family. Can't just accept a partner, but ignore his family. Having a husband who can be familiar with his own family makes Anelis sure, Rajasa's love is worth maintaining. That's one of the reasons he also received Rajasa's proposal.

Andara, the first person to get out of the car. She immediately greeted her brother who was standing on the porch waiting for her. Andara hugged Anelis. The woman who was tall lost to him.

"Ane's mother who is stoic, Ara also defended her condolences," he said full day. You can't hide her crying.

Anelis received his sister's sincere embrace, saying to Andara, "love Ra, doain Mamah amalah accepted. Sorry if all this time Mamah has been wrong with Ara,"

"Permaine... Definitely Ara doain and sorryin Mbak, the important thing Ane is stoic yes," he said again. Andara was very worried about her brother.

"Assalamu'alaikum," the voice of Mr. Arkain, Mr. Anelis and Andara stopped their embrace.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Anelis. Anelis kissed the back of her Father's hand.

"You are strong, Ne. I'm sorry, sir Arkain rubbed his first daughter's arm.

Anelis nodded, turning to greet her relatives from Bogor. Mbah Putri did not come, his old condition made his other children not allow. There was only Om Arga's brother Father and his wife. Maybe from another big family, only those who had time. Anelis invited his family in, presenting dishes that had been prepared by Bu Ranti.

"Go away for a while, um, maybe find some air outside" said Anelis.

Until lunch hour Rajasa did not come home. Anelis tried to call her phone, and was inactive. Anelis is getting unwell with her family. He was sad and confused. The big house is not his. But he should be a friendly and stoic host. In his heart he held back the crying. Mr. Arkain who began to understand what the situation was like to invite Anelis to talk, just the two in the backyard of Rajasa's house.

"Father is sad Ne, your in-laws left so soon. But all the above wills, we as humans can only accept, "Pak Arkain started a heavy chat for his daughter. "after this you will go through a difficult time that never ends. In the absence of Rajasa, you know the problem. Your husband's been hit hard. It was hard for him to return to how he was. Same father Mom divorced many factors Ne," Anelis frowned. In this condition why his father actually discussed the problem of divorce. "one of the factors is because of family. You can not bring Mother into the family, you are wrong in understanding Mother's wishes about it, finally Mother left us," inwardly wanted to Anelis reject the words of the Father. It is not clear the direction of the conversation in the midst of the suffering that is being experienced. "meaning Father, you must be stronger. You must be more patient in dealing with the current overflow of Rajasa's sense of belonging. Don't be selfish asking to be understood but not giving the same. For Rajasa Mamahnya it is so important, surely he will be difficult to face his days later. Do not let you also ignite his heart, making him more and more unable to face all," explained the Father at length. "The point is that Mr. Ndak want you to be the same Rajasa ends the same as the Father. Enough with your Mom's father." Mr. Artain ended his speech.

Anelis did not put his father's words into his memory. He did not understand and hated. Andara who really wants to stay can not. There's no good reason. Forced to leave Anelis alone, without meeting Rajasa. The rain accompanied the sedan car that was carrying them.

Anelis doesn't know what to do. He is perfect himself in his grief. Rajasa still did not give news, the more afternoon Anelis increasingly riled up. Anelis tries to trace Rajasa's whereabouts, through the memories of their journey. What things and what places Rajasa frequents. At first glance his mind was fixed on his Mamah tomb, but Anelis' heart did not lead him there. A place that has always been a favorite of her husband. The key to Rajasa's car. He said goodbye to Bu Ranti and enter the house with its contents. Some of the mourners who still came, were swept there. Anelis takes Rajasa's car looking for the place.

Anelis parked the car in the front yard. The parking attendant nodded at him, marking his car right in line. If excess feeding place for another car. Anelis climbed the small steps without wearing footwear. He's not mistaken. A quiet place that became her husband's favorite. Her husband never forgets the best place for people to be scared, sad and crying. Although it was painful, there was something else that made him happy. Her husband never forgot who the creator was.

Anelis sat quite far away from the man she loved more and more. The Maghrib prayer time has not yet arrived, Anelis could advance on the borders of the male shaf. He looked at Rajasa from a distance.

Rajasa sat down, his head leaning against the wall. His face was tired, his eyes were tight. Anelis was just waiting for her to wake up from an accidental sleep. But from afar, Rajasa looks so lost. Anelis couldn't stand just looking at it. Anelis approaches Rajasa, trying to wake him up. Anelis moves Rajasa's hand. Rajasa gasped, opening his eyes despite the weight.

"Return Mas" said Anelis lirih.

Rajasa did not expect his wife to find him. The place was once Rajasa invited Anelis there, but Anelis memorized.

"Return Mas, it's enough to find a place alone. People are afraid, most appropriate to the Mosque. "said Anelis reminded their chatter when Anelis cried. "After taking ablution water and prayer you should go home Mas. There are still many guests at home. I can't walk, on my own. I limped without you in this difficult time," Anelis wiped her tears. He could not bear to say that, but from his deepest heart it was so.

Rajasa rubbed Anelis' face. He remembered his promise, it would not make Anelis cry again. But this heart he broke. Anelis was also hit, he added with heart-scratching words as well. Rajasa regretted for a moment. Can't say anything, just looking at his crying wife. Anelis held Rajasa's hand, closing her eyes. He bowed languidly.

"Let's go home, Mas, I beg you." she cried no more.

Rajasa wiped away the tears on his face, he looked up at the head of Anelis. Looking for his wife's retina, seeing her reflection there. Rajasa finds his love again.

"Yes Ne. Let's go home," he said in relief. Last night and all day he didn't say hello to Anelis. For Rajasa it is torturous.

Rajasa looks back on how much love they had, right through the eye. Those two limbs, they'll never lie. Rajasa and Anelis make it through this phase.
