Dear, Soul!!
END
As in previous days, Salwa will be busy in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her beloved husband and daughter. Fauzi did not let his wife busy in the kitchen, he took part and prepared the dining table and also the supplies that Mikayla would bring to school.
Salwa has recovered, but Fauzi has not returned to work. Several times Salwa reminded, but he still wanted to continue to enjoy time together with his wife. A time he had never felt for so long.
“Mami..” Mikayla came out of her room in a full uniform.
“Iya darling..”
Mikayla shows hair tie and also comb. Although Mikayla can already wear her own uniform, she still needs the help of her parents to tie her hair.
“This is dear, let Papi tie. Mommy's busy.”
Mikayla turned to look at Fauzi, her tiny lips made forward.
“Do not want, papi not neat tie it. Mikayla's hair is also pulled fast, it hurts.”
Salwa laughed at her son's confession. He walked to the sink and cleaned his hands before beautifully decorating his daughter's hair.
“This is dear, mami who is ikatin”
Mikayla ran over to her mother.
“This time, Mikayla breakfast yes.. Later Papi who took Mikayla to school”
“Iya Mami.”
*****
Fauzi came back after taking Mikayla to school, and he immediately approached his wife who was doing the dishes.
“Sayang.” Fauzi wrapped his hands spoiled at his wife's slender waist. He hugged Salwa from behind.
“You've gone home”
“Iya.”
Salwa's attention, which was focused on the dishes that she washed, turned to the bag of crackles that Fauzi had lined.
“What do you bring?”
“Air”
“Water sign?” Salwa.
“Iya, I passed in front of Mr. Ramli's house, the water guava again bears fruit so I stopped by”
“For what?”
“Yes to eat baby, I kepengen” said Fauzi took off his embrace.
“Barin kepengen grapefruit, now guava water. Why are you, baby?”
“Don't know.. Maybe my tongue is fruit season again, so be keen to eat fruit”
“Only aja.”
Salwa laughed a little to see her husband who had been doing something for a few days until all the fruits seemed to want her to eat.
The ringing of Fauzi's cell phone touched Salwa's sense of hearing.
“Sayang.. Phone you sound.”
Fauzi rushed to grab his phone which he put on the table.
“Lu where?” Tanya Farhan from across the phone.
“At home, why?”
“Oh okay” replied Farhan briefly and just decided to call without answering Fauzi's question.
“Who is dear?”
“Farhan”
“Kak Farhan? Why?”
“Don't know, he's just the number I am where, kept on being killed. No human morals on this one”
“She hit you. You also if the Farhan nelfon is like it” Salwa said to remind her husband's behavior.
Not long enough did Salwa and Fauzi argue over who was more disrespectful between Fauzi and Farhan, his doorbell rang. The debate between Fauzi and Salwa was broken.
Fauzi stepped out, opening the door for guests who came in early in the day. The faces of Farhan and Nina appeared from behind the door.
“It feels like a long time ago I didn't stop by.”
Hearing Farhan's voice, Salwa rushed out.
“Wah Nina's.. Her stomach is big.” Salwa's warm embrace was given as a welcome for Nina. “How many months?”
“Front month already brojol, doain yes.” Answer Nina.
Salwa nodded with a smile that could not be separated from her lips, showing how she always felt good whenever Nina came to visit.
“Women's ritual” Fauzi said he saw his wife who always gave Nina a hug every time they met.
“Do we have to be like that too?” Farhan asked while showing a strange expression.
“Don't be crazy Lu” Timpal Fauzi was annoyed at Farhan's expression.
They started small talk, throwing candles at each other as usual.
“Oh yes Zi, Tetta ask Lu back to company”
“The position of the director in three days will be empty, and Tetta wants Lu again who takes care of the branch company”
“Cosong? Faiq where?”
“Yesterday he found Tetta, he said he wanted to purify himself. He was also the one who advised Tetta to call Lu again, because Salwa has healed”
“Ngundurin yourself? Why?”
“It mulu Lu.. Yeah I don't know either. He's the friend of Lu, and there Lu askedin”
“The salary that Tetta Lu is packing is enough right?”
“Lu tuh yes, Lu think Tetta I miser what to not give his people money according to his work. Tetta just said, if there is anything else he has to take care of, so he ngundurin himself”
Fauzi was silent for a moment, not even in his mind, what caused Faiq to resign from his job.
After conveying his main purpose of visiting, Farhan returned to discuss other things, just telling light things.

The sun began to change color into orange, soon it will sink and replaced by the moon. Fauzi was sitting in a cafe playing his phone, waiting for someone.
“Sorry I'm late, the streets are jammed terribly”
“Its okay, it's time to go home from work, so it's natural that jammed”
“Hem why did you meet?” Ask Faiq to the point
“Lu ngundurin yourself? Why?”
“Gue will be busy in the next few weeks, so can not take care of the company. I also intend to intervene directly to take care of my company back, which I have always entrusted to others”
“Lu know, not that easy to resign”
“Iya, and I know the trick so I can resign quickly”
Fauzi's smooth forehead was wrinkled, he did not understand what was said.
“Lu is the main key, just I call Lu, my stop request is immediately accepted. Yes Lu's performance was great, so he didn't think twice about taking me off and asking Lu to go back to company”
“What will you be busy with?”
“Gue want to marry?”
“Uhuk uhukkk So surprised Fauzi heard what Faiq said. “Well?? Same who??”
“Karin”
“Lah, you refer?”
Faiq smiled with a small nod.
“Waahh congratulations... I didn't think you'd reverse it. Yes Lu cute and well established, it is natural that Karin still love Lu”
Faiq looked at Fauzi for a moment who was also happy about the news he gave. “Gue? The last one so dream of his heart tuh Lu, Fauzi”
“Actually I did not say Karin immediately wanted the time I booked him. I booked him up about two months ago, and he gave me his answer a week ago”
“Lama bener?”
“Iya, I'm the same she would have failed in the household. I am in trouble for him if I am serious right now. It was rejected anyway, but I'm working again” explained Faiq.
“Thank God, at least Lu's effort to make sure he's not in vain”
Fauzi and Faiq dissolved in their chatter. Faiq told me about how difficult it was to convince Karin, until she was almost desperate. But his sincere intention and seriousness again made him eager to pursue Karin, until finally Karin accepted it by asking Faiq not to repeat the same thing in the past.
.
.
.
.
It is true what Faiq said. A month after he resigned from Farhan's parent company, he married Karin. Not as luxurious as before, and not as crowded as before. Their wedding this time was more privacy and only invited a few relatives and close friends. A more solemn and warmer event than the previous one.
“Today, thank you for giving me a second chance. I will never ask for a third chance and so on, because I will make you happy. I love you”
Karin smiled sweetly. He was once betrothed by the same man, but his nuances and feelings are clearly different. The man who used to ask for it only showed a meaningless smile, while the man who was now in front of him, showed a smile of happiness with a loving gaze.
Maybe it's like fate toying with a common thread on someone. Some have to part ways by hurting each other's feelings, but are eventually reunited in a legitimate bond of love through marriage.
There are also those who cultivate feelings through matchmaking, so that they love each other as if they will not be separated except with death.
Not only that, some love also grows out of habit. Accustomed to being privileged and loved sincerely. Although when binding a sacred promise, she still kept the name of the former in her heart, but in the end everything changed and now she only sees her husband as the man she loves.
There's something more complicated. When they have been bound by a sacred promise before, but must be separated because the bond of marriage can not create love between them. But destiny is still destiny, how far you go, if he is your destiny, then you still belong to him even though the marriage bond has been broken before.
It's all inseparable from who has been destined with you to be a lover for life. The ribs will not be exchanged, the red thread will remain stretched even though it was once clad. And soul mate.. Who knows? It's a divine secret, and the Divine has a way to bring it together.
Believe me, in the end you will be met with him who will love you more than he can express.
END
Thank you for being with Lina so far 💜💜
