Days changed, Sundays changed, Syakila had been living in the household for a month and a month more she also lived with Geo at the Albert residence.
During that time Syakila also passed through her household trip in full bickering with her husband. Beni has always been a bully between the two of them.
For a month Syakila was bored inside the house. He has no chance to get out of the house, as Geo forbids him.
”Beni, take me to the market, there are items I want to buy myself.” pinta Syakila on Beni after they are all done breakfast.
"No! I told you you can't get out of this house!” Geo immediately answered Syakila's words. ”Let Beni buy your needs.”
”No, I want to buy it myself!”
Geo kicked the table strongly. ”Didn't you hear? I told you you can't come out!”
Syakila looked at Geo sharply, ”Beni, take me to the market now!” Syakila challenges Geo. He stood up.
Geo hardened both of his jaws and looked at Syakila sharply.
"Come Beni, ” take Syakila. He walked out of the kitchen.
”Dare you step out of this house, then you don't come back here again!”
”You threatened me, Geo?” Syakila looked at Geo with a frown. ”I go to the market just to buy my needs, why do you always forbid me to do whatever I like? Forbid me from going out of the house? Wh why? Oh, have you loved me, Geo? So you don't want a second of me away from you?”
Geo laughed cynically, ”Hahaha, who do you think you are, Syakila? Falling in love with you? Me, Geovani Albert falling in love with a woman like you? Hahaha, even you don't fit the criteria as my lover! Don't dream I'll fall in love with a short girl like you! Don't you be proud I forbid you, you should know who you are. You are just a debt-redeeming girl who works as my personal helper.”
Syakila brought her face closer to Geo's face, she smiled wryly, ”And what do you think, you are the man I yearn for? Absolutely not, even if you are the only man in this world, I will not fall in love with you!”
He withdrew his vow from Geo after saying it. Geo held Syakila's hand.
”You__” Geo did not continue his speech, Syakila looked back at him with hatred.
”Geo, that's enough! Let Syakila go to the market to buy her things. Try to appreciate the privacy of Syakila.” Beni. Geo let go of Syakila's hand.
Syakila always complies, but not this time. Because his sanitary pad supplies have run out and he's temporarily coming guests. How shameful he would be if Beni were to go to the market just to buy softex for him.
Geo did not answer Beni's words.
”I take you to the room, then I will take Syakila to the market.” Beni said again.
”No need, I can go to my own room! Go, deliver the woman.” Geo glanced at Syakila.
”Art, I go to the room first take my bag, wait for me in the car.” Syakila spoke softly to Beni.
”Alright, don't take long.”
”Iya, just for a minute kok,”
Syakila went to the room to get her bag. Beni goes ahead waiting for Syakila in the car. The car engine has been turned on.
Geo was alone in the kitchen with feelings that could not be described. He went ahead following Beni. Geo has arrived at the terrace of the house. Beni who saw Geo, he got down from the car approaching him.
”Why Geo? Do you want to come?”
”Not much to ask, take me up to the car.”
Beni breathed deeply. Yes, raise Geo to the car to help his subordinates. Syakila walked a little run. He opened the front car door.
”Sitting in the back!”
Syakila was surprised to hear Geo's voice behind her. He looked back, then looked at Beni. Beni pressed both shoulders as Syakila looked at him.
Syakila indifferent to Geo's words, he entered and sat in front with Beni. He closed the car door. Beni glanced at Geo from the rearview mirror, Geo seemed to look at Syakila's back angrily.
This woman, how dare she ignore me.
”Street, Ben.” says Syakila.
Beni runs the car. Silent! During the trip the three of them kept quiet, until they reached the market.
”Beni, just wait for me here, no need to drive me. You, take care of the man without that heart.” Syakila glanced at Geo. He knew Geo was now glancing at him too sharply.
”Hum, don't be long,” says Beni.
Syakila nodded, he got out of the car. He walked towards the SaSya cosmetics store.
Thank goodness Beni didn't come with me. This is my chance, I'll see Anton before I buy my needs.
Syakila continued walking through the shop and home of her own father, she continued to step up to meet Anton at his house. Now, he's standing in front of Anton's fence. He was shocked when a hand was perched on his shoulder. Syakila glanced at the hand.
It's a man's hand.
Syakila turned around, she saw a stranger in her eyes. The man looked at her confusedly.
”Who are you? Why stand in front of my house?”
Syakila smiled, ”Oh, sorry this is your home well. Em, my name is Syakila, I want to meet someone. But, it looks like maybe he doesn't stay here anymore.”
”Syakila, your name is good, beautiful, as beautiful as the person. My name is Dian, who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you.”
Syakila squinted at Dian.
Dian? Dian...if not mistakenly remember the name of his son Om Anton the first is not Dian yah? He looks handsome. He doesn't remember me.
”Dian, you also look handsome. I'm looking for your papa, Anton. Is he home?”
”What?” Dian was surprised, ”You know my papa? But, I've never seen you before.”
Syakila chuckles, ”If you don't forget me, we've known each other since childhood, well I'm more sister two years from you.” Syakila explained.
”What? We know each other from childhood?” Syakila. Dian watched Syakila carefully. His vision was centered on the chain of necklaces around his neck. Although the necklace's eyes were hidden behind Syakila's clothes, he could recognize from the chain, if the necklace was the necklace he had seen when Sardin put it together. And he also recalled that time when Sardin said that the necklace was for his girl friend, Kila. ”Kila? You Syakila?”
Syakila smiled sweetly while nodding.
”You are looking for papa what needs? Oh yeah until I forget I asked, how did you get here again? Didn't your mama forbid you from coming here? Don't tell me you ran away from home.”
”Do I have the courage to run away from home? Are we just going to stand and talk here? Didn't invite me into your house and meet your parents?”
Dian smiled, ”Oh, I forgot. Let's go in the house. Mama and papa are inside.” Dian preceded the step, Syakila followed behind Dian. Dian opens the door of the house, "Let's go in.”
Syakila went in and followed Dian. Dian took Syakila to the family room.
”Assalamu 'alaikum, Mah, Pa.” Dian greeted his parents who were relaxed in the family room. Dian crucified the backs of the palms of his parents, Syakila also did the same. Dian sat on the chair while Syakila was still standing.
This girl, there are similarities with Sarmi and Halim. Is this girl the child of both of them?
Serlina poured the tea into two cups. One he gave to Dian, his son and one he gave to Syakila. Syakila drank her tea. While in the market parking lot two men are upset waiting for the arrival of Syakila.
”Again him! Beni, get off find him!” teetah Geo.
”Sabar bit, Geo. Maybe he'll be here soon.” Beni calming.
”Why didn't you follow him earlier? If she gets lost how?”
”He will not get lost inside this market. I know you're worried about your wife, but you calm down a little, she won't be lost.”
”Do you want me to hit Beni? Who's worried about her. I've been hot waiting for him here.”
Beni did not answer. He leaned his back against the back of the chair. Geo also did the same, leaning his back on the back of the chair. They kept waiting for Syakila in the car. As for Syakila, he was chatting with Anton and his wife.
”From the beginning I saw you, I can guess you must be Halim and Sarmi's son. Turns out I was right, how's your mom, Syakila?” said Anton.
”Alhamdulillah, mom is fine, Om.”
”How did you get here, son? Didn't Sarmi strongly forbid you all to come here?”
What should I answer, Dad? Geo forbid me to tell people if I'm his wife. But, did I have to lie to Om Anton and Auntie
”Em, Om, Syakila join husband here.”
”You're married?”
”Iya Om, my husband's name is Geo.”
”Why didn't you come here with your husband? Let us get to know your husband.”
Syakila smiled, ”Om, insya Allah Syakila will bring her here to introduce to Om and Bibi. Om, Aunty, Syakila has been here for a long time, Syakila said to come home first.”
Syakila stood up from her seat, Anton, Dian, and Serlina stood up. They both drove Syakila up to the porch of the house.
”Alright, later go to the house again yes, son. And be careful on the road.”
”Iya Om,” Syakila steps away.
”Eh, Syakila wait!” Anton prevents Syakila who is stepping. I stopped, he looked.
”Iya Om, what is it?”
”Let Dian take you.” bargain Anton. I saw Dian.
”Em no need Om, thank you, Syakila has been waiting in the market parking lot with my sister-in-law.” reject Syakila.
”Oh so, yes already go.”
Syakila nodded, she turned back and stepped back. Dian said goodbye to his papa to accompany Syakila to walk up to the parking lot. Anton allows. Dian chased Syakila who was already in front of the SaSya store.
”Syakila, wait!” said Dian.
”Dian, you why?”
”It's okay, I just want to accompany you to walk all the way to the parking lot.”
”Oh, alright, wait for me well. Something I want to buy inside.” Shakila pointed at the shop in front of her.
”No need for you to buy, just take the goods you need. And tell them that you are the son of the owner of this store.”
”No, lest anyone know I'm the son of Halim.” Syakila explained. ”I go in first, you wait here.” Dian according. He sat in front of the store waiting for Syakila. As for Syakila, he entered the shop.
Syakila took everything she needed. And he also did not forget to buy some pads. After paying for his groceries, he left the store. Seeing Syakila, Dian stood up.
”It's done?”
”Iya already, let's go,” invite Syakila. He put his hand to Dian's arm. They walked while telling stories, laughter sometimes sounded.
They almost arrive at the market parking lot, Beni and Geo see Syakila who is standing opposite a man. Beni glanced at Geo from the rearview mirror. He knew for sure Geo was angry to see that, he was also afraid that it would affect Geo's mind. Geo was furious to see Syakila with the man.
”Dian, just get here you take me. Oh yes I asked for your number.”
"OK, my number? You take note.”
Syakila pulled out her phone, she recorded the number mentioned by Dian. After taking her notes, Syakila kept the number under the name Dian. Then he tried to call the number. A ringing sound rang out from Dian's pants pocket. Syakila turned off the phone.
”That's my number, save it to your contact list. I'll call you later." Syakila said.
”Ok, I'll save your number.” Dian turned around and left. Syakila is too. He walked closer to the car.
”Beni, turn on the car.” Beni according. He started the car engine. As Syakila gets closer to the car. Geo tells Beni to run the car.
”Distance with the car, Beni.”
”But Geo__”
"I said run the car!” Geo pressed down on every word.
”Geo, will you leave Syakila here? Are you crazy?"
”Run the car Beni, now!”
Beni said he knew Geo was angry right now. Beni runs the car right in Syakila touching the car door. Syakila became surprised, as the car had already left her.
”What the fuck? Why did they leave me here on purpose?" Is this the man without the heart? What a jerk that guy is.”
Syakila sat for a while in the long chair in the parking lot. He kept looking at the car that left him, even though the car was no longer visible. Syakila was very upset.
”Geo, isn't this outrageous, Geo? How's he gonna get home, Geo?"
”Shut up Beni! Women are all the same, cheesy! Cih.”
”You misunderstood, Geo. I'm sure Syakila isn't that kind of girl, maybe it's her best friend who hasn't met in a long time, or maybe it's her family we don't know. We turn around and pick up Syakila.” Beni tries to persuade Geo.
”No! You don't have to defend her in front of me, Beni! Let him.”
Beni speechless. He was running the car unfocused, his mind was worrying about Syakila. While Syakila, he was still waiting in the parking lot. He hoped Beni would come to pick him up.
