The next day, at Sarmi's house.
Syakila sighed, her back rested on the back of the chair.
Sarmi smiled little looking at her son, ”Why, son? What are you thinking? Aware of that just sighed.”
Syakila. His face was sad, his gaze looked at the floor, more precisely his gaze led to the position of the small table that made Sardin, Geo, and the marriage guardian sit face to face.
Sarmi knows what's on her son's mind now. Syakila just got out of the hospital, this morning. He did not want his son's condition to decline.
Sarmi sighed, ”Before afternoon is her haul of the late Sardin. We'll go there to help, finish lunch.”
Syakila nodded, ”Iya, Ma. Ma, Asya go to the park first.” part.
”Wouldn't you just rest in the room, son? There's still three hours before we go to Alimin's house, you just take a break. Yeah?” wheedled.
”Gak, Mom. For two days and two nights Syakila lay continuously in the hospital. Syakila wants to breathe fresh air in the garden.”
”Alright, do not think much and daydream. Yeah?” Sarmi. He could not force his son.
”Iya, Ma.” Shakila stood up and walked out of the house.
Sarmi looked at Syakila's back sadly.
Poor son, I feel that in these few months he will still feel lost and always want to be alone. He sighed.
.. ..
In the flower garden.
Syakila sat down. His face still looked sad, even now it was glazed over.
Brother, even until now I can't believe that brother is gone. Brother's not dead, is he? My brother is always wherever I am.
The love story of Syakila and Sardin recalls in Syakila's memory. The romance they knit from childhood until separated and reunited with a powerful destiny.
Their romance just got back together, because they never broke up and did not have a lover after a long time they both separated.
Their love was returned to the toilet because of a covenant that had to be fulfilled by Syakila, married to another man.
Although Syakila is married to another man, she remains on good terms with Sardin. Until God gave way to Syakila and Sardin knit back his love, which had run aground.
this long journey of our love, it should have produced a happy outcome at the end, right? But why is it like this, brother?
Syakila's tears were unstoppable, she was crying, lamenting, her love story with Sardin was tipped with sadness.
”Hu...hu. I miss you. Come to me, I want to hug you.”
Geo stopped his footsteps stepping on the terrace of the house, when he heard the sound of Syakila crying in the park.
He walked towards Syakila.
”Hu..hu. I miss..”.
Back Geo heard Syakila's case. Is he thinking about Sardin? his mind.
He grabbed Syakila's body and hugged her. ”I miss you too. I've come, don't cry anymore.” she caressed Syakila's back and kissed Syakila's head.
”Sardine Sardine? I know, brother's not dead. I miss you brother.” Syakila returned Geo's embrace tightly. And wept, shedding his longing.
Geo let go of his embrace, pinched Syakila's chin and raised his face for Syakila to see clearly, who the man before her was right now.
”This is me, Geo, your husband. Look at this face of your husband.” Geo wiped away the tears of Syakila who was silent looking at him.
Ah, he's Geo. I thought he was Sardin. The voice I heard earlier, that spoke to me. It.suaraanya Sardin. Syakila mind.
Syakila's heart grew sadder, she misjudged people. His forehead is getting wrinkled. He's down.
Geo raised Syakila's face again, he wouldn't let the girl not see and pay attention to her face.
Their eyes met again. However, what Syakila saw right now was Sardin's face.
”See me, Syakila. Look at me all right! Who am I?” tanyakanya.
”You... Sardines. Your face... your voice...” Syakila closed her eyes and reopened them, looking back at the face of the man in front of her. ”Not, you're not Sardin. You're Geo. My husband's. Yes... husband.”
Geo smiled happily. He hugged Syakila's body. ”Iya, I'm Geo. Your husband.”
Why do I always see Sardin and hear Sardin's voice from Geo? Is it true as Rivaldi told me, in the hospital, why I heard and saw Sardin in Geo?
Or is it because I still haven't released Sardin from my heart? syakila Mind.
Geo let go of his embrace, ”Let's go in, I want to rest. You accompany me to sleep. Yeah?” her door.
Syakila. As long as Geo kept him in the hospital, Geo never slept well. Supposedly, after Syakila was discharged from the hospital, Geo had to rest. However, Geo instead went to finish his interrupted work.
They both left the park. They entered the house and continued to step into Syakila's room.
Geo took off his top clothes and laid his body on the bed. Syakila was still standing by the bed, watching Geo.
Back when we were husband and wife, we slept in one room, but I didn't feel nervous like this. Was it because Geo slept fully dressed? While this...Geo bare-chested. And I just noticed that Geo's body shape is very good.
”Why?”
Syakila.
”Mari here! Accompany me to sleep.” Geo patted the mattress beside him.
Syakila swallowed her saliva. He climbed onto the bed and lay down, sideways, turned his back on Geo.
His eyes were rounded as he felt Geo's hands curling into his stomach. Geo's plain body was attached to his back. Syakila moved a little, wanting to loosen Geo's embrace.
”Do not move! I want to sleep by hugging you like this.” pinta Geo.
Syakila. His heart beat fast. Syakila closed her eyes, regulating her heavy breathing.
Syakila continued to be in her position. Not moving one bit. Half an hour has passed. Syakila felt Geo's breath lightly.
Is Geo really asleep? his mind.
Syakila's right hand felt sore. He turned his body, lying on his back.
He tilted his body facing Geo. In her face that. Syakila closed her eyes when she saw Sardin's face implied on Geo's face.
”Ah, no. This is Geo's face. My husband's face.” murmured Syakila slowly. Convincing himself that the man beside him was Geo.
He opened his eyes again to see Geo. His hands raised touched the chest of the man's field. Satisfied with her, Syakila tightened her body to Geo's chest and hugged the man's body.
Geo's heart rate is beating faster. His instincts as a man arise. Geo couldn't control himself. ”Asya, I..if you can't stay still and let me rest in peace. I'm not sure if I can still control myself later.” he said. More precisely he warned Syakila to be quiet.
Syakila clearly knows the meaning of the word Geo. ”Ma. I. I just want to hug you. If you are disturbed, I..”.
”I'm not distracted. Don't let go of your embrace. Your body warms my body.” trim Geo.
”Then, sleep.” Syakila kept hugging Geo's body.
”Hum,” Geo closed his eyes again. His hand pulled Syakila's body, the more it tightened up Syakila's body to her.
Syakila was silent looking at Geo's face that closed her eyes. A few minutes passed, he again felt Geo's light breath.
He was asleep, Syakila thought.
Syakila kissed Geo's lips briefly. Then, he closed his eyes.
Geo opened his eyes and smiled. He closed his eyes again. They both fell asleep, hugging each other.
.. ..
Sarmi awakens when he hears an alarm sound in his hape.
”Ah, I've been sleeping for two hours. Shakila's? Is he still in the park?” Sarmi rushed out of the room.
He went to the park. He did not find Syakila there. ”Is Syakila in her room?” he turned back inside the house.
He continued to step into Syakila's room. He opened the door of Syakila's room slowly. He smiled happily seeing Syakila and Geo taking a break. Also hugging each other.
Sarmi closed the door to Syakila's room slowly.
”Eh.. Mama is awake? Fatma wanted to wake Mama up. Lunch is ready.” said Fatma.
”Oh, then wake up Syakila all to eat Ma.”
”Em. Don't bother Syakila. Let him rest. He wakes up and he eats. Come on, let's go eat.” take Sarmi.
Sarmi and Fatma went to the kitchen. Fatma's husband and sisters had gathered at the dinner table, with Hardin's exception.
They all ate in silence.
.. .. ..
Afternoon at Alimin's residence.
”Why hasn't Mama arrived yet? Though soon the haul event will begin. People who teach have started to arrive.” murmured Hardin.
”What they won't come?” ask Nesa.
”Come to Come Ma. Maybe it's on its way. Hardin try to contact mom first.” Hardin's looking for his mother's contact.
”No need to contact. We'll wait, the show hasn't started yet. People who teach have not arrived all.” prevent Nesa.
Hardin's got the hape back. Not long after, Hardin saw Johan's car enter the parking lot of Alimin's house. ”Ma, they just arrived. Hardin get there first.”
”Aalhamdulillah's. Yes, later tell Geo and Johan to join your father directly. Nesa, Biah, and your sister brought it here, accompanying Mama.”
”Iya, Ma.” Hardin went to see his family who had just gotten out of the car. He didn't see Syakila and Geo. ”Ma, brother and sister-in-law Geo are not here?” tanyakanya.
”Your sister and sister-in-law are on break. Probably won't come.” replied Sarmi.
”Papa, Johansyah's sister-in-law directly to the hall only. There's papa Alimin.”
”Hum.” Johan and Johansyah went to Hardin's hall.
”Mama, Mama Biah, Mama Nesa waiting for Mama and Mama Biah there. Mama Biah and Mama Biah met Mama Nesa. Hardin wants to join them, wants to teach.” said Hardin.
”Iya. Go.”
Hardin went to the hall. Sarmi and Biah go to see Nesa.
”Sorry, we just came.” said Sarmi, after he and Biah sat down with Nesa and the others.
”It's okay. Where is Syakila?”
”Syakila is on break. I purposely let him rest.” Sarmi replied.
Nesa nodded in understanding.
Haul event is underway. Hardin, Johan, Johansyah and Alimin joined the lecture along with others.
.. ..
In Syakila's room, Sarmi's residence.
Geo awakened. He smiled looking at Syakila's still sleeping face. He glanced at the clock, at 16:20. He realized that this afternoon was the third day of Sardin.
”Asya, darling. Comeon, getup. It's afternoon. Asya.buangun.” Geo woke Syakila.
Syakila opened her eyes, ”Geo.” call her.
”Hum. Comeon, getup. It's late afternoon, we go to Alimin's house, yuk.” take Geo.
”What event is there? Isn't Sardin's brother still in treatment? Or has he been out of the hospital, healed?” Syakila asked unconsciously.
Geo shook his head, ” Your life has not been collected all. So, your words are ngawur. Here, I give you back your life.”
Geo kissed Syakila's lips, ********, and let go, ”Today is Sardin's third birthday. Sardin is dead. He has calmed down to be in another realm.” he said. He kissed Syakila's lips again.
Syakila sighed. Why do I always imagine Sardin is in treatment? Was it because the night before we got married, she promised to do the treatment, so in my mind she was in the care? syakila Mind.
”Already, don't daydream. Let's take a shower together, let's hurry. We must be late.” said Geo.
Syakila. Sometimes he feels strange to himself. By the time she became the wife of Geovani Albert again, she had become obedient to the man's words. Is it because Ijab kabul in marriage that is now really valid and blessed by God?
They actually did a ritual bath together. After the bath, they took turns. They've prepared.
”Do you know where the Hardin motor key is stored?”
”Iya. In chamber. Wait, I'll get you.” Syakila went to Hardin's room. He took Hardin's motor key from inside the drawer.
She went back to her husband in front of the house. ”This is the motor key.” Syakila gave it to Geo.
Geo. He started the engine, heated the engine before he could drive it.
He put on a helmet and gave the helmet to Syakila. ”Let's go now.”
Syakila.
Geo and Syakila get on the bike.
”Hold tight. I drive a different motorbike when driving a car.” said Geo.
”You'll speed?”
”Maybe!”
”Go yourself. I'll take a taxi.” Syakila wants to get off the bike.
Geo. ”I'm kidding.” He took Shakila's hands and wrapped them around her stomach.
Syakila. He let his hands hug Geo. Geo started running his motor.
In the current position. I remember Sardin. Not wanting to drown in daydreams. Syakila tightened her embrace on Geo.
Did he think of Sardin again, hugging me tightly? Yes, you should be like that Syakila. When you think of Sardin, remember Sardin, always remember me, Geo your husband to distract you.
”Why? Afraid of falling?” ask Geo.
”No, I just want to hug your burly back.” replied Syakila.
Geo smile. They arrived at Alimin's home.
.. ..
Alimin Residence.
”It looks like we are indeed late. They are reading prayer now.” said Geo.
”Unfortunately if it does not come too late, you will join to teach?”
”Yes, of course! You didn't think I could pay, did you? Come down.”
Syakila got off the bike. Geo is down too. They took off their helmets and put their helmets on the bike.
”Mama and Aunt Biah are there. We'll just go there.” take Geo.
Syakila. They went to the mothers.
”Sorry, Mama, Syakila arrived late.” Syakila said.
”It's okay, baby. Mama is happy with your presence.” said Nesa.
”Mama Nesa, we have finished reading her prayer.” said Hardin, telling. ”Eh, brother, sister-in-law Geo, when does it come?” his greeting when he saw his two brothers.
”They just arrived. Take Geo with you to the hall.”
”Iya. Sister-in-law, let's gather there.” take Hardin.
Geo nodded. He and Hardin went to the hall.
”Syakila, Nesa, Biah, Sarmi, the mothers. It's time to serve them food. All of us also eat.” said Nesa.
”Iya.”
They also lifted the food that had been prepared into the hall to entertain the guests who came to attend haul Sardin.
After preparing food for the people in the hall, they prepared food for themselves. They're all eating.
