At the Crossroads of Love

End of Story

far from the city crowd there is a beautiful hijab woman who sits dreamy. Abia is the wife of Raga.

After three months in Jakarta Raga brought Abia to live in Magelang. Raga continued his medical studies in Jogja. Actually not want to move city only Raga wants to care for his Papa who suffered a stroke after being fired with disrespect from his unit. His wife did not want to take care, because Maya was also sick and needed treatment as well.

It was not an easy decision for Raga to take care of her papa after all the pain she had gotten. But again his mother showed how great her heart and kindness were. Being able to forgive and bear the costs of caring for an ex-husband that clearly hurt you to the bottom.

Abia as a wife also convinced Raga, that Raga is still lucky to still be given the opportunity to care for the father. Don't be like her.

For the sake of his mother, for the sake of his wife Raga took care of his papa. Even so, he remains sincere in maintaining the health of his father so as not to drop because now his father lives with regret.

Whether karma or what without symptoms, when going to wake up is very difficult. Until permanent paralysis until now. His papa Raga days were just a bed and a wheelchair. Regretting the action in the past is too late rice has become porridge.

Luckily Raga and his wife are willing to accommodate and care for him. Even Abia looks very sincere and painstaking in caring for her in-laws. Like taking care of his own father that he could not take care of.

''Honey, why daydream here?'' Raga who had just returned home did not find his wife in the house after being searched turned out to be in the backyard. Raga approached because the wife did not answer her call.

''Mas'' Abia grabbed her husband's hand and kissed the back of his. '' Are you home yet?''

Raga sat down next to his wife. ''You why?''

He frowned both his eyebrows and looked at her husband. ''I?'' Abia pointed at herself.

''Yes. You why? daydreaming alone here husband calls until he does not hear.''

''I'm okay.'' Abia dodged

''We've agreed to open up to each other, and I know you have a problem. Don't keep the story to me yourself.''

''I just thought about why we haven't been given momongan mas. Must be crowded and papa also more and more entertainment if we already have....''

''Stt. We've talked about this a lot, right?. Maybe God is testing us and we should be more patient waiting or maybe waiting until papa healed first so you do not bother having to take care of two babies.''

Four years is not a short time for Raga to be tied up in a marriage rope with Abia. Beautiful woman and Solehah who suddenly became her life partner.

Raga's sincerity accepts Abia's father's request to look after her son for life, and the mother's experience of being hurt by an arranged marriage makes Raga not to hurt Abia's heart, Abia's feelings. How her mother did not want Abia to experience it. Love because responsibility was originally.

Now, I don't know Raga can't do anything without Abia. Even a night without Abia by his side can't. Maybe this is love because we are used to being together.

Maybe Abia is saturated because she has to take care of her papa every day without other activities. And Raga is busy becoming a young doctor at the hospital and returning to the profession that used to be a cafe singer to support her and her family's lives.

The cost of his education is still borne by his mother but to support Abia Raga to become the owner of the cafe where she sings. Because Abia is his responsibility.

''Honey mumpung still afternoon we take a walk yuk, kulineran to the square want?.'' try to eliminate his wife's heartache.

''Now ''Now? how will papa come home?'' in a week, once a day or two his father Raga will be invited by an ustadz to be taken to the boarding school following the study and closer to the creator.

''Papa has just left earlier, at least tomorrow morning home. Or do you want us in the room?'' goda Raga's

''We're not kulineran alone.'' can crumble all Abia's bones if Raga locked him up last night in the room.

The plastic ball rolled into Abia's leg.

''Ola Dian's. Ola Dian.'' a boy approached and asked for the ball.

''Oh... This is your ball?'' the little boy nodded and tried to ask for the ball.

''Very handsome you are. His name is what a handsome boy.''

''Dian ante.''

''You twins? Oh my god you guys are so handsome and sweet.'' want to feel pinch the cheeks of the two handsome boys but afraid later cry can be chirping his business.

''Your kem-kem why play it away, I look for you?'' twins Gian and Gani son of Ara were playing in the square with his parents. Coincidentally Ara was cravings gudeg so Gatra who was having free time to invite his wife and son to take a walk in the afternoon.

''Ara''

Feeling that someone called her name, the figure of a beautiful face that had only first met a few years ago but it was impossible for Ara to forget.

''Brother Abia? how is my brother here?'' it was a pleasure to have Ara reunited with Abia.

''It's been a long time since we moved here. Four years.''

'' Old huh?'' Ara while holding Gani and Gian who are very active moves.

''So they are your children? handsome and funny.''

'' Yes, they are very active Kak, different from her brother kalem. Is it because girls and boys are different?''

''Which woman did we meet first, where is her child? must be beautiful not to lose with her mother.''

''My in-laws brother, I can't move here yet.'' sad Ara has been living in Magelang for a month without Gina.

''You're just getting prettier, Ra is getting full of ya. I used to think you were like a skinny worm but his stomach was big.''

''Yes Brother. Pregnant this time she wants to eat.''

''Are you pregnant again?'' surprised Abia is indeed perfect for women in front of this yes. The woman who started her marriage always made her jealous. A woman whose husband cannot have. One thing is implanted in the heart that because of Ara she was reunited with Raga her husband who until now has never hurt her.

''Yes Kan otw baby to four.'' replied Ara timidly.

''Honey. wanted it turns out here.'' Raga came to Abia and was surprised that there was Ara with his wife.

''Mas, this is Ara and her baby'' Abia pointed at the twins.

''Raga, how are you? long time no see apparently living here too.''

There is no awkwardness anymore Raga met Ara maybe because all her love already belongs to Abia.

''It's been four years and the madam is also staying here.'' Raga glanced affectionately at Abia.

Gatra also came.

''Mother and children why the father was left alone.'' protest Gatra

''This father met Raga and Abia continued to chat.''

Gatra greeted Raga and Abia. They are involved in a fun conversation.
