33. Lucy's House

It has been almost a month Raihan and Kirana continue to be at the home of Raihan's parents. Even yesterday Raihan had said if he wanted to take Kirana out of his parents' house. Raihan wants to ask Kirana for a contract or if he has enough money to buy a house.

Kirana understands the changes that have happened to Raihan but she is also afraid to ask what is going on. Although Raihan always tried to cover up her feelings but Kirana knew that something was wrong with her husband. Kirana began to suspect because several times Kirana invited Raihan to visit Papa Bagus house, Raihan always refused.

Adnan is too. His brother had never visited at all when since the time of Kirana and Raihan had not married Adnan fairly often visited even though just lazing or hitchhiking dinner at the house of his best friend.

“Kirana, Papa same Mama leaving yes. Be careful at home. Or if you are afraid to be alone you can go to your Mama's house,” said Mama who said goodbye to her daughter-in-law via telephone.

“Iya Ma, Kirana asks first Bang Raihan there is a shift or not. If there is a brother at home I go home,” said Kirana.

“It's important you are not alone at home yes,” Mama said.

“Iya Ma. Mama be careful yes, later if Papa and Mama have arrived in Jakarta Kirana dikabarin ya Ma,” said Kirana.

“Definitely darling. Already yes, there on the next work,” said Mama before turning off the phone.

Kirana continued her work that had just been delayed. It was only a few minutes until her husband came and picked her up. So she intends to finish it immediately so that her husband who must be tired after work does not need to wait for her too long. After 30 minutes, Raihan came. Because the car is in the workshop, Kirana and Raihan are forced to use the motor everywhere.

“Dek, when you're done let's go straight home. It was cloudy and raining you pity you have a cold again,” said Raihan.

“Ya bentar Bang. 5 more notes continue to run. Sorry yes, I sat down first,” Kirana said.

“Abang wait outside aja yes. Cafe again rame gini,” said Raihan embraced by Kirana.

Once home, Kirana will prepare dinner while Raihan takes a bath and cleans his body. The two were silent when they ate. Raihan has been a little quiet since a few weeks ago. Even Kirana increasingly felt that there was a high wall between her and her husband. Not only because of the silence of the husband, but Raihan also never tried to get close to Kirana.

“Papa Sama Mama go?” asked Raihan on the sidelines to eat him.

“Iya. Yesterday I was Papa and Mama met the invitation to Jakarta,” said Kirana.

Raihan just nodded. He finished his dinner first. Raihan stepped into the sink and washed his own dishes. Kirana immediately stood up to prevent her husband from washing the dishes as soon as he heard the sound of water flowing from the back where she was sitting.

“Abang, do not wash dishes. Let Kirana be here,” he said.

“Ngak papa's. You just finish your dinner. You can wash yourself,” Raihan said.

“Eh no Brother, here Kirana alone,” Kirana still insistent on holding Raihan who continues to clean his dishes.

Raihan. He handed his plate to Kirana and observed her motion from the dining table while finishing his drink.

“Abang..., actually Kirana wants to ask permission. If possible,” said Kirana hesitated.

“Izin what? Just say.”

“Abang will patrol, go home tomorrow morning. If you let Kirana go to Lucy's house. Kirana wants to accompany Lucy because since yesterday she was like she was sad because of something,” Kirana said.

“So you want to stay there? Is it all right? You are already the wife of Brother Dek, will Lucy's parents not think of anything?” ask Raihan.

“Lucy has not lived with her parents since one year ago Bang. Both Lucy's parents now live in Germany and Lucy is reluctant to go there. There will only be me Lucy and Ningrum Bang,” Kirana said again.

“Ya already then. Tomorrow morning Brother pick you up to finish the shift. There you get ready. But remember, do not sleep too late,” said Raihan who gave permission to his wife. Instead of having to go to her in-laws' house and meet Adnan there, she better take Kirana to Lucy's house. The girl is getting married to Adnan soon. She thinks of Lucy as her sister.

“Abang be careful yes. Do not get hurt,” Kirana said to Raihan after the two reached the court of Lucy's luxury home.

“You want to eat something? The message is not yet night. Later if it is 9 hours close the door lock gate and do not go out again yes,” Raihan said to the three women.

“Ningrum wants to go to the front minimarket,” said Lucy.

“You guys are not?”

“Nevent need to Bang, that minimarket looks. After all close to the Bang security guard post, no, Kirana is not afraid,” replied Kirana to remove her husband's worries.

“Ok then Brother left first huh. Assalamualaikum,” part Raihan.

“Waalaikumsalam, be careful Brother,” replied Kirana followed by the other two.

Kirana and her two best friends then stepped into the minimarket. Lucy who grabbed the basket while Kirana and Ningrum had already split up to look for anything they wanted to buy. Kirana grabbed two cans of soda, two packs of snacks, a bar of chocolate, cut watermelon, and sweetened condensed milk. Ningrum added pieces of papaya, melon, nata de coco and 5 packs of fried instant noodles as well as bon chili. Lucy brought everything to the cashier and ordered 3 roasted sausages with barbeque sauce.

The three immediately returned home, locked the gates and front doors, made sure all the windows were locked and started a party they had not done for a long time. I don't know when the last time they got together was like this. Because admittedly or not, since Kirana married and Lucy made up with Adnan their relationship has stretched.

Already Ningrum is busy, Lucy is more priority on education and her lover, Kirana survives with herself. That is why they get the chance to make the most of it.

Lucy grabs one large bowl then Kirana and Ningrum shrink the pieces and put them all into the bowl along with the nata de coco, milk, and soda. After so, Lucy added a lot of ice cubes then grabbed 3 spoons and brought them to the front of the tv.

After their fruit soup was finished, Ningrum brought 3 roasted sausages that they had bought as well as 3 packs of instant noodles boiled various flavors that they oplos so one. Kirana also grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and brought all the snacks to the same table. They eat and watch movies. Sometimes they laugh because of the character's behavior, sometimes they will also cry carried away.
