As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 97's. Aggrieved

I swung the wand here and there towards the door that seemed to be open. And my steps stopped when I heard the sound of conversation. I'm sure it was between doctor Faaz and a woman. Hm, who is that woman. Because I don't even remember once that doctor Faaz brought a woman home while I was here.

"When is the woman here?! said the woman.

Deg.

A female? What do you mean is me? "If you're still defending him, then this is proof that you're keeping another woman in this house! And I don't want you to play." said the woman loudly. "I never cheated on you. Fara is my best friend's message. Then I should take care of her as Keanu taught me." Faaz said calmly.

"You're risking our wedding plans, Mas. And now I'm getting suspicious. Let alone a conceived child, your child." said the woman with a cynical tone. "Dragon's talking, Karina...!" doctor Faaz said with a little bit of a temper. "What...!" you want to raise your hand? Not married yet you dare to lightly hand me? It's all because of that girl..!" said the woman I finally knew was named Karina.

Deg.

My blood rippled upon hearing that meaningless accusation. My tears almost fell. It did not feel like one hand held tightly to Aiman's arm that had been standing not far from me.

"Not so, dear." said doctor Faaz trying to soften. "Enough...! If you keep him, I'll go. Just cancel our wedding plans...!" said Karina again.

"Sorry.." I said a little bitterly. "Fara...?" said doctor Faaz. Clearly from the tone of his voice, doctor Faaz was surprised at my presence. "I'm sorry, if my presence is the axis of contention between you. I really didn't mean to" I said slightly. "Miss Karina doesn't have to worry. Doctor Faaz is a good man. He could not have done things as alleged. Rest assured.." I said with a voice that trembled more because it held back the cry.

"Once again sorry." I said as I passed by with quick steps. My hands are busy swinging around. "I want to be alone, Brother Aiman." I said with a sign that prevented Aiman's move. "But Fara.." he said. "I'm fine, brother. I just want to be alone" I said again shortly before continuing my steps.

I don't know what time it is. Because the ticktok clock hasn't told me yet. All I know is the feeling in this heart. Then I closed the door to the room. I rested my body on the closed door while breaking down the cries. Just his voice. I'm afraid the house will find out about my turmoil.

Then I chose to sit on the edge of the bed. I'm speechless. Sometimes I breathe heavily. Right now my mind is wandering around, knitting together a few pieces of memories during the course of my life the last few years. And on a piece of memory, I became aware. It's about courage, rigor and independence during a whack ordeal. And I've been through it. Why am I doubting? Come on Fara rest assured that the current exam must also be passed just like the previous exam.

Remembering the events just now. My adventure became faint. It's a fact that I have to make a decision. I don't want to be the cause of the quarrel between doctor Faaz and Karina. Especially when the wedding is planned. Yeah, Robby.

Tiktok's wall clock tells me that it's four o'clock. And I've decided that I'm going to leave. I'm leaving doctor Faaz's house. For the good of all. But what I have in mind right now is my goal. Whither? At this point I was finally silent. Without a word, without thoughtful adventure. Just silence.

Geck.

Geck.

Geck.

"Who...?" my many. "Faaz.." the voice behind the door. "It's not locked, brother." I said, shrinking my tears. I heard the door open. A moment later, a step sounded and stopped in front of me. And it looks like doctor Faaz is standing by the window.

"What's up, sister...?" ask me while pulling the pillow and putting it on my lap. I heard Faaz take a long breath. It seems like there is a pain in his heart.

"I...Em, I apologize on behalf of Karina. He shouldn't have said that" Faaz said. "It's okay, Brother. Fara understands. And indeed Fara should not take advantage of the kindness of Faaz by lingering here" I said while trying to smile. "No. Don't ever think you're using me. Not at all. I'm just fulfilling Keanu's request. Last wish. You've mandated Keanu to me. I have to fulfill it" Faaz said feelingly.

"Thank you because you've fulfilled that message. It's been six months since I received brother's kindness. And brother has fulfilled the promise of brother to brother Keanu. And for the common good, Fara decided to occupy Fara's old house" I said while keeping a face at the end of my lap.

"I didn't ask you to leave, Fara. I just need time to explain this situation to Karina. I'm sure he can understand" Faaz said.

"Sister.sister's promise can still be fulfilled. Even though Fara's not here. My sister can still visit at any time. It must also be permission mbak Karina" I said while chuckling.

Once again I heard doctor Faaz sigh. Then he fell silent. Long time no words slid from his lips. What are you thinking, brother? i'm entangling.

"Can Aiman be with you? So at any time I can find out your condition" Faaz said. I smiled and looked away at the face where he was.

"Mbok only accompanied non Fara, Mr. doctor" said mbok Nah who suddenly was inside. Doctor Faaz chuckled at the mbok's words. "Then how am I?" said doctor Faaz who was still chuckling. "There will be a non Karina, the wife of the doctor." said mbok Jum.

"Non, really. Mbok same non yach. Here mbok to be horrified" said mbok Jum while rubbing my arm. "Why mbok? Haven't you been here long? I said as I took his arm and struggled.

Mbok Jum chuckled small. "The doctor is getting married soon. Well, non Karina is fierce. Yesterday it was mbok-maki. Yes, serem.." said mbok Jum. I just chuckle at hearing it. "Just follow non Fara aja, yes." said mbok Jum.

"So he was planning a coup, mbok...?" said a man. From his voice I knew it was Aiman. "Ah, den Aiman this is all there is" said mbok Jum took a moment and passed leaving me and Aiman.

Stand by the window. I again felt the whisper of the baby on the leaves to sincerely shed with the blow. "Sir Aiman what's wrong with me?" I said as I tidied up the floating window curtain caressing my face. "I just talked to doctor Faaz about your intention to leave this house. And I thought, I can help you" said Aiman impressed cautiously.

Again I smiled as I felt the caress of the Bayu who had just greeted me. "Help how else? Hasn't my brother helped a lot" I said accordingly. "Em, I have a small house. A little far from the crowd. If Fara pleases, I will take you and mbok Jum maybe" said Aiman who ended with kekehnya.

"Who is this brother of Aiman?" just ask for it. "What does Fara mean...?" answer Aiman gagu. "So good brother...How did Fara reply to him?"my spoken. "Good people do not ask for a reply." said Aiman with a small laugh. Then I heard her footsteps move away. Also the creaking of the door that sounded closed.

I went back to silence. This time my mind really wandered back. There are a lot of memories milling about alternately. Each piece represents an event and a face. Suddenly I found the figures that I missed so much so far, namely Amah, Dad, grandmother, mami Vira and Keanu of course. My heart drizzled when I remembered it. Yeah, Robby... So my mind while gently rubbing my growing stomach. In my current situation, it is not easy to live my life later, especially when my son was born. But I am sure God will ease my life. All I leave to you, yes...Robbie.

"Basic lickers...!" said a woman while opening the door violently. I flinched and turned my face towards the door. In his footsteps, I knew he was coming to me.

Plaque...!

He slapped me in the face. Not just once but a few times. Inevitably all those slaps were right on my face, without the slightest bit of me being able to avoid them. I revolted as his body began to crush me. I'm worried about the baby in my stomach right now.

"Brazed woman." said Karina as she continued to hit me. As strong as I can fend off or withstand the blow but only a few that I can withstand, the rest is right lodged in some parts of my body. The power he did it because of my current helplessness. "Yes, Robby.help me" I said as I continued to try to protect my stomach from its growing rage. I curled up to protect the baby in my stomach.

"Sina...!" said doctor Faaz who was suddenly in the room. For a moment there was a slight repulsion on my body so that it loosened Karina's crush on my body. Slowly it receded from above my body.

"What are you doing Karina..?! What a shame this is you doing..!" said doctor Faaz growled along with Karina's quick steps followed by doctor Faaz's steps. The two just passed by, leaving me sobbing. I think in some parts of my body. But my heart felt the most pain, so that even drizzle began to fulfill it.

"Yes, Allah...! Non Fara...!" said mbok Jum while hugging me who was still sobbing. "We're leaving now, Mbok...I'm already uncomfortable. It's also for the good of doctor Faaz and all" I said. "It's heartless for a non Karina. It's very hard." said mbok Jum. Not long after I heard the sound of footsteps. Such a hasty move. The same step. Step pacing.

"We go now, Fara" said Aiman with hunting breath. There was resentment and disappointment in his breath hunting it. "Fara.stop crying. We're prepared. We're leaving now...!" said Aiman while shaking my still stunned body. My mind is still wandering somewhere. I'll just come along when my hand pulls Aiman out of the house.

"Non.." said Mbok Jum as I sat in the car. Turns out he made his speech happen, with me. "Where, Sis...?" I asked when I heard the front door of the car was closed. "A comfortable place." said Aiman briefly. "Can't I see doctor Faaz first?" my many. "Not now Fara." said Aiman. I heard the long roar of the car splitting the silence. Mbok Jum said it's ten at night. Worth the cold had ambushed while in the yard earlier.

The car kept on going. Where not. This darkness makes me unable to parse long words. Even just describing how my race is right now, I am not able to. Only a thread of prayer pleading for the help of the Catholic can I still be tempted in the midst of my drizzling heart.

"Non.." said Mbok Jum while shaking my arm. I gasp. Apparently I'm asleep. I don't know how long. "It has arrived, Non.." said mbok Jum Half whispered. I rubbed my face and fixed my sitting position.

My feet immediately felt the thick grass as I got down from the car. The atmosphere is so quiet. According to mbok Jum, it is now eleven o'clock past thirty minutes. It means I left doctor Faaz's house, about an hour and a half away. "How's the house?" I whispered to mbok Jum while tightening my warm clothes because the cold came back to my body. "Good, clean, beautiful. The one-story house, the courtyard is spacious with thick green grass like in the doctor's house" said mbok Jum describing the situation around the house.

Geck.

Geck.

Geck.

The sound of the door on the knock. Before long I heard the door creak open. "Master Mir.." a woman said hello, but why did she stop her speech. "Master Aiman, sir." he said. "Yes, Mom. Sorry kemalaman. Oya, this is non-Fara. He will stay in this house. Please help with all his needs. This is mbok Jum" said Aiman introduced. "Well, Fara he is Bu An.." said Aiman who slightly paused. "To be exact Ms. Ainun. But I called her Bu An, to be shorter. Bu An tidied up and guarded this house. If there is anything, just ask An" said Aiman.

"Let's take non Fara to the room" said Bu An with a trembling voice. I was stunned for a moment to hear the color of Bu An's voice. A very familiar voice in my ears. Ah, but in my current condition almost all colors sound the same. Don't think about it, Fara. I'm ingrained. But...
