Clandestine

Tanpamu Day

“Gimana

Rin, my husband has gone ‘right?” I asked behind the phone that afternoon. Already

a few hours I waited for news from Rini whether Reinard was still waiting for me at

office or not.

I

hearing Rini sigh.

“Udah

mba. There is an operation he said.” Sahut later.

I

let out a sigh of relief.

“Mbak!

What's the problem anyway?” ask Rini later. “Mas Reinard who is usually on and

no blame, it was a mess.”

I

not answering immediately. I put my step to the window. My eyes glare

far away, on the expanse of Jakarta that still looks so busy

even though I saw it from a height. Down there are a few streets

looks stuck. I can imagine how stuck in traffic in the middle of the day

like this in the condition of being chased by work deadlines.

“Custom

lah Rin's. Husband wife.” Sahutku.

“Iyadeeeh

mbak, but pity your real husband mbak Julia earlier.”

I

just a smile that Rini couldn't read.

“Mbak

Julia really doesn't work today?”

“Why

indeed?”

“Craftsmanship

many mbak.”

I

rubbing face. Realize if household problems do not need to be made

work time went awry, and I wasn't supposed to bring my problems either

it's on the job. I have clients, they trust me and of course not

care about my life. So why am I still here now?

“Jude

Rin, I'm leaving in half an hour.” I said. “Oh yes, please buy’in

I blanket the same pillow yes.” An idea suddenly came to my mind.

“Create

what's mbak?”

“Maybe

for the next few days I'm going to sleep in Rin's office. Overtime.” My pretext

before hanging up.

*****

Good luck

I always put a change of clothes in my car, so I don't have to

hard work just to buy clothes to the office. I am indeed

deliberately put some sheets of clothes and shoes in the car because often overtime

and suddenly out of town. So instead of going home, I'd rather keep

some of my daily needs are there. I can't believe that all of that is useful, too

when I have a problem with my husband like this.

Before

at the office, I stopped by a cafe to buy coffee. My concentration in

it takes today, considering last night I couldn't sleep well either.

It turned out that sleeping without Reinard beside me was really not exciting.

My heart aches every time I see the pillow next to me empty. Thinking what

he did without me.

“Thanks

mbak..” I received my coffee cups at the waiters. Then walk towards

automaker.

Weathers

this afternoon was so hot, I walked in a hurry to get to the car.

but when I had just opened my white civic door, the sound of someone holding me back.

“Excuse me..”.

I

look over. I found a man walking towards me. The man's face

stranger, and I think it's the first time I've met him. It's high, though,

in the style of casual clothing. Just wearing an ash t-shirt with blue jeans

belel.

“Iya.”

I stopped the intention of getting into the car.

“Sorry,

does this stuff have you?” he showed me a brown leather wallet

and it's mine.

“Sebentar.”

I opened my totebag. Although I'm sure it's mine, I need to

take it out again if it's not in my bag.

“Iya.

It's got me.” My heart later when my wallet was completely absent

in bag.

Men

it smiled, pasting his dimples.

“Tadi

I found it near the cashier table.” Said. “And sorry, I'm presumptuous to open it.

Because want to make sure that you really are the owner.”

I

smile, then accept the wallet.

“Thanks

yes mas.” I said.

“Sama-sama...”

I

then excuse me to continue the journey, while the mas-mas dimpled

it went back into the cafe. I don't know what he's doing.

****

I

intending to finish my work on time when suddenly

Rosa, who doesn't usually come to my office, appears with her beautiful face

kinked.

“You

why here?” I got up from the chair, looking at my sister who was still standing in the

front door. “Tumben really..”.

Girl

“Why?”

manya curious.

Nothm

answering my question, she cried even louder. Come on, what else

this one? Whether my household problems were not enough until the presence of Rosa also

crying hugged me like this.

“Then

you don't answer, you don't consider yourself possessed anymore. Hurti!” my hardik.

Rosa

raised face. Slowly the pressure began to decrease.

“Papas

nasty to know enggak.” He started telling stories. Stomping his feet with

annoyed when calling the word ‘pap’.

“Sit.”

I pulled his wrist to follow me. We sat down side by side, and Rosa

still sobbing small.

Before

I started a confiding session between the sisters this afternoon, I called Rini first

I used to bring two cans of soda and snacks to my desk. Tak

a long time ago, the woman with heel’s ten centimeters came carrying the tray

it contains food and drink I ordered.

“News

now Ros.” My love when Rini left the room. “There's anything between

you're the same papa.”

Rosa

wiping the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand. I held back amusedly looking

my sister's behavior is similar to a child like this.

“Sunday

in front of my friends want to go to Singapore mbak.” He started his story. “See concerts

Exo.”

“Terus?”

I frowned.

“Same

papa can't.” Rosa looked upset again. “Which are all my friends

again.”

I

biting lips restrains laughter. So just because of a concert to make

Rosa was so upset with papa and came to my office, even though the distance was home

the office is far away.

“Emang

who's going to go? Any friends?” my many.

Rosa

nodding slowly. “We are making a girlfriend.”

I

I threw my body on the couch.

“Yes

it is clear that Ros cannot. You know papa, right? Yes, until your monkey

can go. Papa would prefer you angratin than ngijinin you go.”

“Lha

how do dong mbak.” Rosa shook my hand. “I want to go.

Want, want, really want.”

“See

on youtube, what is the difference?” godaku's.

Girl

it's rolling a lazy eyeball. “Please on mbaaaaak!” upset mouth.

I

laughingly.

“Stays

the hell leaving?”

“Sunday

“Judah, ,

sister temenin.” I don't think taking Rosa to Singapore is a bad idea. I could

shopping around there. Let's not strap.

“Totally?”

Rosa jumped. His originally pitch-black face turned sparkling.

“Yes

“Makasiihi

mbak!” Rosa exited until she hugged me tightly.

“Eh.

Girl

it let go of her embrace and kissed me many times.

“Jijut

“Oh

“Why

take her?” sahutku upset. “Negak akh.”

“Lah!”

Rosa gawking. “Tumben ngajakin mas Reinard, “

“Dia

marahan.

Rosa

clucked. “Yakin nih mbak, I'm the same Verrel you know. Want to be a mosquito repellent?’

I

I shook my hand the sign didn't care.

“Neither..

my phone's embroidered.

A foreign number was dancing on the screen.

“Halo...”.

“………”

“What?!!”

I

jumped out of my place.
