They had arrived at Hamid's vacant house. Home, which he used to live with his ex-wife. Hamid unlocks the door and opens the door wide and tells Mulfa and Halima to enter.
”Come in!”
Halima and Mulfa came in. Hamid closed the door. Makes Halima and Mulfa a little scared. Hamid realized that.
”Not to be afraid! I'm not the kind of person who likes to make a profit.”
”I'm not afraid of you, I..I'm just afraid of dark.” elak Halima.
Hamid smiled wryly. He immediately approached the light switch and turned on the house lights. The whole empty room of the house was bright.
The sofa benches, the living room, the dining room, were all covered with long cloths. There are also cobwebs on the corners of the walls of the house.
”This house, looks like it has not been in habitation for a long time.” Halima commented on the state of the house.
”Iya, this house is indeed more or less three years not in habitation. This house, is my house with my ex-wife. After the divorce, I don't want to live here. So, this house I leave.” explained Hamid. ”Now, for a while, you stay here. But first clean this house. And for tonight, I'm buying you ready-made food. Tomorrow, I'll just spend the kitchen ingredients for you.”
”Oh, why did you divorce your wife?” unexpectedly Halima asked that. Makes Hamid re-carve his wry smile.
”No need you know about my private! You guys stay and take care of this house.” Hamid said.
”Iya, thank you Hamid.” Halima said sincerely.
”Hum, one more. In the room there are some clothes stels, sorry if you guys won't like those clothes. But, the clothes were Halim's choice. Halim wants you to wear it. That is to protect yourself, and you are free to go anywhere without any feelings of anxiety, or fear later.” explained Hamid again. ” You already understand right, I mean?”
”Iya, I understand.” Halima said.
”Good, then, I'm leaving now. You guys, please eat first, just clean-up.” Hamid walked towards the door.
”Iya. Thank you, Hamid.” said Halima sincerely.
”Hum, I go.”
Without waiting for Halima's approval again. Hamid immediately came out of the house. Halima immediately locked the door of the house after Hamid's departure.
”Then, what should we do first, sis?” mulfa asked confusedly. ”I'm not hungry, but very sleepy.”
”You sleepy?”
Mulfa nodded.
”Kakak is also sleepy.” says Halima while yawning. ”Then, clean up the house tomorrow. For now, we just clean the room first, then we sleep. Ok?” halima.
"Ok, sis.” Mulfa said with pleasure.
They immediately stepped into the room. The room in Hamid's house has two rooms. The room they were occupying right now was a room adjacent to the kitchen. Only that room can open the door.
”Kak, that's a bundle of clothes, which Hamid said earlier. Wanna see it now? Or tomorrow only?”
”Tomorrow, let's quickly help sister. We clean this room, we just slept.” pinta Halima.
”Iya, sis.”
They also cleaned the room. Bed sheets are replaced with new ones available in the wardrobe. After that they slammed their bodies on the bed.
”Ah, tired once.” complained Mulfa.
”Huff, finally can also relax the body, tired of asking for forgiveness.” complained Halima.
The complaints they threw out of his mouth no one responded to each other. They've fallen asleep.
.. ..
Halim awoke when faintly she heard the splashing sound of water. The sound of people taking a bath, he got up from his bed and sat on the bed. He looked to his side. Apparently Sarmi had woken up, and the splashing sound of water, he must have been the one taking a bath, he thought. He saw a wall clock at 04:15.
He stepped out of the room, he opened the door and at that moment Sarmi wanted to go into the room. Sarmi just finished taking a shower. Seeing Sarmi who only wore a towel on his body, made Halim's passion go up.
He shifted his body letting Sarmi into the room. After Sarmi entered, he locked the door. And slowly he stepped towards the wife who was taking clothes in the closet. Halim put her hand on his wife's stomach.
”Darling, didn't Papa want to leave the room? Look at that clock, Papa better go take a shower.”
”Iya dear, Papa will shower soon. But, previously Papa wanted to sweat first.” whispered Halim in Sarmi's ear.
Sarmi understood what her husband meant. He turned his body to Halim and wrapped his hands behind Halim's head.
They looked at each other meaningfully, gave each other a friendly smile and slowly they put each other's lips together. For a long time they kiss each other to cause a warm feeling in their bodies. Halim took off her kiss and held Sarmi and laid Sarmi down quietly on the bed. They put their lips back together. And slowly, with gentleness and love, they returned to their duties as husband and wife.
After their rituals. Halim goes to take a bath, and Sarmi also returns to perform her bathing ritual. They shower together.
After taking their baths together, Halim helps Sarmi put on her clothes, and Sarmi also helps Halim put on her clothes. That makes their love feel stronger. Sarmi again put his hand on the husband's neck. She was very impressed with her husband's good looks.
”My husband, the more he looks dashing. Looks like arriving in town later, I will feel more jealous.”
”Why does my wife talk like this?” Halim wrapped her hands around his wife's waist.
”Look at you, who wouldn't be tempted by a handsome man like Papa. Moreover, the girls in the city were extremely beautiful. And have most Mama heard the story, if the husband always memb_”
Sarmi's words stopped, Halim silenced the wife's mouth by kissing her lips.
”Do not think no-no! Don't equate your husband with another man. Because they and I are different. Ok.” Halim kissed his wife's lips again and continued to kiss her forehead.
Sarmi nodded.
”Byok wake the children, hunt sister-in-law later who first come to pick us up. While we have not prepared everything, later he will be angry.” said Halim while pinching the chin to Sarmi's chin.
Sarmi smiled and nodded. Halim and Sarmi both woke up their children. One by one they woke up.
”Iya, Mama.” sahut Fatma and Syakila together.
”After shower, wear the clothes in the wardrobe, well. Mama has prepared for you to use.”
”Iya, Mah.”
Fatma and Syakila went to take a bath with her sister. Sarmi tidied up her son's bed. And Halim, he took out all the things that would be brought to the front of the house.
He waited for his sister-in-law's car to come, sitting leaning against the gods he made during his mother-in-law's seven-day event.
How's the continuation of the case facing Halima, huh? Are they free now? And it's safe to stay at Hamid's? Actually I was a little afraid, if Halima would come near me when there was my wife. I'm afraid my wife will misunderstand later.
inner Halim.
Halim looked towards his house, when he saw Sarmi who came out to see him. Sarmi stepped closer to him. Halim stretched out her hand. Sarmi welcomed Halim's hand. He led Sarmi to sit beside him.
”Pa, Mama noticed, it looks like Papa is thinking about something. What is Papa thinking?”
”Mama, someone wants Papa to tell Mama.” Halim put on a serious face.
”What's up, Pa? Looks very serious.” Sarmi looked at Halim's face seriously as well.
”But, as long as Papa tells you, Mama can't cut Papa's talk. Ok.”
Sarmi frowned in wonder. However, he still nodded. ”Ok, tell a story, Mama so curious.”
Halim took a long breath. He also started telling stories. ”Mama, when Papa first left for the city, there was a woman who approached Papa. But, Papa always keeps a distance with the woman.” Halim stopped her speech.
He saw Sarmi. Sarmi put on her pouting face. But she did not want to cut off her husband's words.
”It turns out, the woman was one goal with Papa. Her name was Halima. He tried to seduce Papa several times, he was very brave to Papa. But, Papa always refused her. Until one day he_”
Halim's words came to a halt as she heard Sarmi's voice restraining the cries. Halim turned to her, it turned out to be true, Sarmi lowered her head holding back her crying voice by holding her mouth, but tears flowed down her cheeks.
Halim embraces his wife's shoulder carrying her in her arms. He calms Sarmi by stroking her back.
”Mama, don't cry! Papa was never tempted by him. Didn't Papa ever tell Mama, if Papa's heart, mind, and body only belong to Mama one? Mama remember? Papa always takes care of your body and heart for Mama. Because what is in Papa all belongs to Mama.”
Sarmi always remembered Halim's words. He nodded with a tight hug on Halim's body.
”Mau Papa continue the story or do not need to, nih?”
”Continue, Pa. Mama is still curious.”
”Then, don't cry well.” Halim took off her embrace and wiped away the tears on Sarmi's cheek. Sarmi nodded. Halim continued to tell stories.
”Something when, he gave up seducing Papa. But, whether he got the courage from where, until he told his personal story to Papa. Papa just hears, but Papa doesn't believe him. Until then, Denis took Papa to the Club. There, Papa sees him with another man. But he had to follow the man. Secretly, Papa followed them to the hotel. That's where Papa knows, what he said in Papa is true. So, Papa intends to help her. So, before Papa left for the village, Papa had already taken him out of his job.”
”Indeed what happened to his job, Pa? Until Papa helped him out of his job.” asked Sarmi curious.
”She was forced to be a comfort woman, Mah.” replied Halim. Sarmi glared at her eyes in disbelief while covering her mouth with her hands. ”His ex-girlfriend cheated him by promising him a decent job. However, he eventually hired Halima as a comfort woman. He had run away, but unfortunately he had a younger sister who was held captive by his ex-girlfriend. So, he can't dwell other than according to.”
”Then?” ask Sarmi again.
”Then,” Halim sighed. He pointed at his son. ”Then, look at the kids we've been on coming up with very neat, pretty-beautiful and handsome. And look, the light beam there, it must be the sister-in-law's car. So, the story will be continued Papa. Mom and the kids are waiting here. Papa will go back to the house to check the door and window of the house and re-goods again, there may be items that are left behind.” said Halim.
Sarmi sighed in annoyance. But what Halim said was true, her son had already come to them. Halim went into the house. He saw the kitchen, the room. He locked the windows and doors tightly. Then he got out of the house. And lock the door tightly. He joined his wife and son.
Coinciding with that sister-in-law's car stopped right in front of her house.
”Hore! Uncle's car came.Uncle's car came.” exclaimed the children happily.
Sister-in-law got out of the car, but the car engine he did not turn off. He ruffled the hair of his nephews one by one, except for Fatma. He doesn't like to have his head touched.
”Have long waited for Bang? Sister-in-law? Sorry well, I'm late.” said sister-in-law.
”No kok!” sahut Halim and Sarmi together.
”Byok kids, get in the car!” exclamation Halim. ”Honey, you ride well, sit behind accompany kids.”
”Iya, Pa.” says Sarmi. ”Kids get in the car with Mama.”
”Iya Mama.”
They also got into the car. After they got into the car, Halim and her sister-in-law stuffed the luggage into the back of the car.
After making sure everyone got in the car. Halim and her sister-in-law went inside. And the sister-in-law directly runs her car to the port.
After a few hours on the way, they reached the port. They got off the car. Here's the stuff. Coinciding with that was also the ship leaning on the port.
”Wah, the ship is huge!” children's series together. Making Sarmi, Halim, and the sister-in-law laugh.
”We'll be aboard that ship, Pa.” Fatma, Syakila, and Yuli asked simultaneously.
”Dad, babe!” sahut Halim soft.
After the docking ship, the passengers who were about to go down and up scrambled the road. The jostling is inevitable again. Halim waited for the time to loose a little so that they boarded the ship no need to cram.
After seeing the ones coming down from the ship reduced. Halim began to take his son and wife aboard the ship. For their goods, Halim hired two laborers who concerned him. Halim's sister-in-law also boarded the ship, as she carried Hardin. While Halim, he held Endang and held Ita. And Sarmi he held Yuli and held a bag containing valuables. Shakila and Fatma walked alone.
Now that they had arrived on board, Halim booked a ticket for the class. The sound of a strong ship was heard twice. Halim's sister-in-law bailed down from the ship. They hugged each other.
”Jaga Mama and Papa are also my sister well, well!” order Halim before her sister-in-law leaves.
"Yes, Bang. Brother also take care of himself, and take care of your son and wife. We all miss you.” said the sister-in-law. Halim nodded. His sister-in-law got off the ship. The next minute the strong ship rang for the third time. The ship began to sail out of the harbor.
