Disengagement



Irwan pulled over his vehicle in front of the cemetery. He stepped slowly towards the white-painted iron-fenced tomb. In his right hand was a bunch of pink roses, Rima's favorite flower.


The skinny man opened the fence and crouched down on the right edge of the tomb. His eyes narrowed when he realized there was a medium-sized bouquet, which was filled with various flowers that he knew were expensive.


Irwan tried to put aside the various questions that were raging in the heart. He tried to focus on plucking out some of the weeds that seemed to have just grown.


"Assalamualaikum, dear. Sorry, I just got here. A few days ago there was an audit from the head office. Thank God, the financial statements will be declared complete and there is no data confusion," said Irwan softly. His eyes could not be seen the tombstone that read the name of the wife he loved.


"Let's guess, Neng. Akang will visit Bandung again. For the next week I'll be living there" he continued.


"Neng, remember? I used to steal time to be able to stay there to visit you. Although, eventually I got several times reprimanded and pay cut for adding unlicensed leave," he continued with a smile.


The curly-haired man fell silent. Her memory floated on memories almost two years ago.


He is almost desperate to keep reaching Rima who is fascinated and fascinated by Eric.


Irwan felt very grateful to be surrounded by good people. His family, Rima's family, office friends and friends boarding the tiny woman.


They stand shoulder to shoulder so that Rima can escape the entanglement of Eric's charm. Rama, Dinar and Afni, are the three most strongly opposed to Rima's closeness with Eric.


At that time Irwan felt that good luck was on his side. Eric disappears just three months before Irwan and Rima's wedding date.


His figure that could not be found made Rima upset. That's when every weekend Irwan back and forth Bogor-Bandung. Fatigue and fatigue are not ignored. He continued to vaporize and shower Rima with love. Eventually, the girl fell back into his arms.


The brown-skinned man really learned a lot from his married friends. On how to stay loved by their partner, and how to treat women better.


Rinai rain that suddenly fell from the sky, making Irwan immediately rise. Staring at the navel once more, before finally moving away and running towards his car.


Tuk, tuk, tuk.


The knock on the windshield surprised the dreamy Irwan. A smile rose on his face as he realized that it was Yusran who had knocked on the glass.


Rima's second brother opened the car door and entered the passenger section next to the driver's seat.


Irwan shook his head and pressed his forehead against the back of Yusran's hand. Although Rima is no longer there, but for Irwan, Rima's family is still his family as well.


"Newly also nyampe, ehh raining," said Yusran while patting his clothes a little wet.


"You want an umbrella?" irwan.


Yusran shook his head slowly. He looked at his sister-in-law with a fixed look. "I'll be here again in the afternoon. Same with dad," he said.


Irwan nodded, then turned on the engine and turned the car back towards Rima's parents' house.


"Where are you going to get that suitcase?" yusran asked while pointing at the suitcase in the middle of the car.


"You go to Bandung, Kang. One week task. While reminiscing about the past," replied Irwan slowly.


"Move on, Wan. You have been widowed for more than a year. Find another woman and get married. Me and my family will be happy to take you to the house of the woman of your choice" said Yusran who received a smile from Irwan.


"Depart, Kang."


Irwan chuckled softly as he glanced at his sister-in-law with the look of ignorant eyes. "Remember it first. That's just me, '" he replied.


"Geez! Your talk is the same with Siska's mother and tea. They are making a fuss about fooling me" Yusran lamented.


They glanced at each other. A moment later we laughed together.


After lowering Yusran in front of the house, do not forget to send greetings to his two in-laws. Irwan continued on his way to Bandung.


Instead of passing through the toll road, the thin-moustached man chose to pass through the winding peak path.


He took the time to rest while performing Zuhur prayer in the mosque located right on the top of the hill.


Enjoy meatballs as a lunch menu, while enjoying the scenery around the very beautiful.


After getting enough rest, the man entered the car and resumed his journey.


Arriving in Bandung, Irwan immediately checked in at the hotel that had been booked in advance.


After cleansing himself, he laid his tired body on a soft mattress, closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep.


As she felt a soft touch in her hair, Irwan opened his eyes. A smile was engraved on his sweet face when he saw the figure of his wife lying next to him.


"Neng," he said longingly.


The man hugged the wife's body from the side. To pull the woman into his arms.


He lowered his head and kissed the top of Rima's head in love. No matter the body of the wife who is very cold.


Irwan touched Rima's chin and raised his face until their gazes locked onto each other. Slowly she swept her lips over Rima's cold lips. Sipping through the cold without the slightest fear.


The release of his desire made Irwan feel sad as well as confused. He still clutched Rima's body which replied to him with a tight hug.


The man put his face on Rima's forehead, regulating her breathing which was still hunting.


"Don't go!" her door was as Rima's body started to fade. Until it completely disappeared. Leaving him alone on the bed without a thread covering his body.


Irwan's breath is blocked along with the eyes that heat up. He made his face into the pillow and spilled out all the longing and pain of feeling, with tears in his eyes and a heartbreaking sound.


Irwan laments his fate of having to lose a much loved woman. Though they just got married, but can not feel the honey of marriage like other newlyweds.


When other men enjoy romance after justifying a partner, Irwan actually had to swallow the bitterness of life, when he had to cut a coffin containing the corpse of the wife.


When other men carried their wives' bodies to the contest, Irwan could only hold back the tears, when he had to hold his wife's body, and put her in a burrow.


It was still clear in his memory, as he unbonded the wife's shroud, and attached it to the ground.


He wept bitterly when he heard the azan that kang Fahmi gave to deliver the body of the younger brother, to the grave.


His feet were stuck on the ground and hard to lift. He had just moved from his wife's navel after being pulled by Yusran.
