There's a Past

The car driven by Galih stopped right in a house, with a spacious courtyard, and was in front of it like a building that was deliberately for a meeting.

" You can stay here temporarily, and the distance to the test site is close to just 1 kilo from here." Galih.

Heru dropped two suitcases belonging to her and Puspita, while Puspita still remained silent even though Galih occasionally glanced in his direction.

" Thank you for driving us."

" Samely, we're into yuk, that's my friend already told Mr. Willy."

Galih, Heru and Puspita also walked towards the village head's house which will be in place by Heru and Puspita for a while.

Geck... Tock.... Geck...

" Assalamualaikum." Sapa Galih's.

" Moreo." Reply to someone from the inside, then open the door.

" Mister Galih." Greet Mr. Willy.

" I'm sorry Sir, I suddenly told you. This is what my friend called me, they are from Java while staying here because tomorrow will take the CPNS Test."

" Oh.yeah, yes.., Let me show you the house. But there's only one bed, how's this."

" Let me sleep in a chair is okay sir." Heru Say.

" No, there is an empty room one, can use, if in this house next door is usually used for guests , there is only one room, only one room, and rather than empty I often rent this house. "

Puspita and Heru entered the house, the house which was only one room and one bathroom and the kitchen looked cleaner and tidier.

" I rest first brother, tired." Puspita.

" Sister at Mr. Kades' house, if you need anything, call brother."

" Yes, brother."

Galih was only silent when he saw the interaction between Heru and Puspita, while Puspita directly entered his room.

" Do you know them? " Ask Saeful.

" Know." Answer the Brief Caliphate when driving his car.

" Like Bang Galih there's something about that woman, because she doesn't seem to like her brother." Aril.

" Dong's story, we want to know if you're with him." Kemal.

" Right, said Bang Kemal, dong Bang Galih's story." Dito.

" He's my ex."

" Sir..!!! " Say them simultaneously.

" We broke up, because when my proposal did not come, because we had to marry Rena. "

" So you're in a match, right? " Tanya Kemal's.

" The Story is long." Answer Galih.

******

" Dad...!! "

The boy ran when he found out his father was coming home, and immediately he was carrying and smelling both chubby cheeks.

" Why hasn't Bagas slept? " Tanya Galih while carrying her stepson.

" Pad waiting for Dad." Answer Bagas while holding both hands around Galih's neck.

" God is home." Rena said while kissing the back of Galih's hand.

" When you properly pronounce My name, do not mention Galuh, I Galih." Galih said while rubbing the stomach of Rena who is 7 months pregnant.

" Yes, it has been 4 years and nothing has changed. I'm going to have to check you out to a big city or abroad."

" Already yes, said the neurologist yesterday said the drug must be routine, let alone a pregnant condition like this, this drug is expensive, because this drug will not have the same effect on our children."

" You should also take medicine."

" Yes, I'm routine." Say Galih while lowering Bagas.

" It has been 4 years, you still consider Me Galuh, until I accept you as My wife, and little by little learn to love you, until you conceive My child. Galuh, if you were still around, maybe I would have married Puspita."

******

Puspita was ready with black and white clothes, and black hijab. With in between by Heru they have arrived at the location of the CPNS Test held.

" Bismillah, doain yes brother."

" Always."

When Puspita entered the room to take the Test, Galih approached Heru who was staring at Puspita entering.

" Do you love Puspita? " Task Galih.

Heru turned his head to the side when he saw Galih already standing beside him.

" If not Love, why would I take her far away." Answer Heru.

" Are you sure, Puspita loves you so much right now? "

" It's none of your business, you better not ask about Puspita, because you are part of the past. "

******

Puspita vertical run out of mineral water purchased by Heru, when finished taking the test.

" Well, how's that? "

" You can start by reading Bismillah, Alhamdulilah smoothly."

" Good, brother prayer is a satisfactory result."

" Same.. !!! "

From far away Galih looked at Puspita and Heru who were chatting with each other occasionally in interspersed laughter.

" Why is it that when you look back, it feels like it's growing again."

Galih also moved away from the place, heading towards his motorbike.

****

The heart of Puspita dag dig dug, Puspita uncertain his current taste, while waiting for the results of the value. When it appears, Puspita looks for his name, and gets the highest score.

" Thank God, I graduated. " Puspita jump - jump her body, until involuntarily hugging Heru's body.

" Sorry brother, sorry I'm too happy."

" Congratulations yes, there is still another stage, another determination that has not yet come out."

" Hopefully pass."

" Amin.O God."

*****

" Skeletons." Sapa Galih's.

Puspita turned her head towards Galih, and continued her steps.

" Wait." A small running galih holding Puspita's hand.

" Please, I want to talk. "

" What else do you talk about? "

" Congratulations, may your second result pass."

" Thank you."

" Puspita, what if you have a job here if you escape, we can still communicate?"

" I'm sorry, I know Mas Dinas here I didn't register here, but somewhere else."

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your mistake."

" I'm sorry Mas, it's too painful, I'm not in the mood to meet like this, when I come back here with a different position I hope we don't see each other."

*****

Heru and Puspita were on the plane to return home. And it looks like Puspita has closed her eyes.

" I don't know whose heart you'll choose"

Said Heru when he looked at Puspita who was sound asleep, and he also closed his eyes.

******

" I have to find a way, for them to unite." Say it .
