Black Heaven

The darling?

The sound of sobs sounded heartbreaking. Aji continued to clutch the weak body of the wife who was sitting together at the side of the grave that was not maintained. Aji continues to give encouragement to his wife who is grieving the departure of all members of his family.

"Why is my destiny like this, Gus! God is evil as I am Gus!" intan shouted on the sidelines of his cries. Intan buried her face in Aji's chest.

"Can't talk like that! God is merciful. Maybe God is preparing a wonderful destiny for your future." Aji kept trying to calm the fragile soul.

"Now that we read yea, we pray for all your families to have the most beautiful place by His side." Aji untangled Intan's body, removing the tear lines that soaked the smooth cheeks.

The chanting of prayers began to sound there, Intan lowered his head. He was more intrigued because he remembered that his family had left him alone in this world. The longing is so excruciating, especially when the one you miss is no more in this world.

"Yes Allah .. Once again You gave the servant an unexpected surprise. You leave the servant alone in this world, the servant only wants after this You do not take those who are near the servant, especially those who are currently chanting Your verse." Intan could only utter her hope in the heart.

Nearly an hour later they were in the public tomb. After finishing cleaning the tomb, Aji invited Intan to immediately exit the tomb area because they had to leave for Tangerang immediately.

Now, the white car started driving on the highway. Aji focused on his wheel while Intan was busy diving into his own thoughts. He was silent with a straight forward view.

"O Allah strengthen the heart of the servant's wife" murmured Aji in his heart after looking at the pensive Intan.

A few tens of minutes later, Aji started driving his car towards the toll road to Jakarta, he had to go through the line to get to Tangerang quickly. Every now and then Aji looked at the sleeping Intan, a sweet smile rose from his lips when he saw the sweet face beside him.

Aji lowered his car speed when he saw there was a rest area in front. He had to rest first for lunch and stretch his body.

"Tan, Diamond!" Aji woke Intan when her car stopped at the rest area, "let's have lunch first, '" Aji said after Intan's eyelids opened wide.

"Where's it going, Gus?" intan asked after observing some shophouses in front of him.

"Central Java. Comeondown!" aji answered while removing her seatbelt.

Aji reached for Intan's palm, in her hands the soft palm as she walked towards one of the restos there. Aji did not let go of his grip even if only for a moment.

"What do you want to eat?" aji asked after sitting at one of the tables by the window.

Intan grabbed the menu book that was in front of her, he read one by one the menu there and the choice fell on the general menu that he usually saw in street stalls five—Sham grilled honey.

"i'd like to drink some mineral water, Gus!" intan said after seeing the drinks written on the menu book.

Aji wrote the order and then he gave the menu book to one of the waiters at the cashier table. He immediately returned to where his wife was at this moment.

"How are you doing right now?" aji asked while looking at Intan, "didn't your head hurt?" Aji just wanted to make sure his wife's condition was okay.

"a little pain, Gus!" intan said while moving his head to the right and left.

"Remember the doctor! don't get too many thoughts that make you sting, let the spit heal! okay?" Aji reminds Intan of the doctor's message before she gets home from the hospital.

Intan just developed his smile, today his spirit was lost somewhere. Grief dominated his heart at this moment. Beautiful memories with his family began to appear in his memory, he did not know how to wipe the heart covered in grief.

"Let's eat, keep taking the medicine!" said Aji when his order came.

The two of them enjoyed lunch together and afterwards they immediately prayed dzuhur before continuing their long journey. After being in the rest area for almost an hour more, they again continued their journey towards Tangerang.

***

The stars look beautiful in the dark sky of Tangerang city. The light dominates tonight until the moon is ashamed to appear. The streets of Tangerang city began to quiet because the clockwork was already at the number eleven night.

The car that Aji was driving began to enter the Ciputat area. Fatigue lines were clearly visible on the handsome face that was focusing on the wheel. Occasionally he yawned as drowsiness began to engulf his soul.

"Gus, we go home to each contract, yes" Intan said after thinking long.

"why so?" Aji frowned because he did not understand the meaning of the wife.

"Later we're raided by a complex man, Gus. In the thought of gathering kebo," said Intan while changing his sitting position facing Aji.

Now Aji who was silent, he was thinking about Intan's true opinion. But he himself could not bear to let Intan in his contract alone.

"How about you go to Papah's house?" ask Aji after finding a solution.

"Why should I stay at Papah's house? I used to live alone" Intan said.

"i can't bear it if you're in a contract alone, you haven't fully recovered yet, honey!" the worry was clearly visible on Aji's face.

Intan was stunned after hearing the last word her husband had just said. Her nose was flattened because she blushed, "can Gus repeat, one last word?" intan said with a happy twinkle that was visible from the look in his eyes.

Aji had not realized that Intan was teasing him, he tried to remember what he had said to make his wife blush, "Darling?" muttered Aji while turning his gaze towards Intan.

Intan turned her gaze in another direction, for some reason it felt like she was so embarrassed when Aji said that word. After all, just this time there was a man who called him 'Honey'.

"Do you like it when I call you 'Dear'?" aji asked after glancing at his wife's face.

"of course! The call 'Honey' seems quite romantic for couples who are in love," Intan said as he looked at Aji with a meaningful highlight.
