DOWRY 33 THOUSAND

19

As the day wore on, Rara Masi fell asleep. Baihaqi had already finished taking care of Rara's clothes. Baihaqi's decision was already unanimous to remove Rara from her rented house. This afternoon also Baihaqi will bring Rara to find a new residence that is more comfortable for Rara and not stressful. A place far from the community, where Rara will be a new person with a new status as well.

Baihaqi sat leaning against the dnding of the room waiting for the adzan dzuhur to reverberate.

The more daytime, the hotter, Rara's body was more sultry and sticky because of sweat, even though the air conditioning was still on. Both of Rara's eyes opened staring at the ceiling of the room, her body felt heavy as it was about to turn sideways. Her soul was still trying to be gathered into one so that Rara would truly wake up from her sleep.

His head turned towards the side and saw the tired-looking Baihaqi figure closing his eyes while leaning back. Rara fell, in her heart pitying Baihaqi.

'Forgive me for not being able to open my heart again for someone new who wants to know me more deeply. I was afraid of being disappointed for the whole time, Rara's inner heart.

Rara tried to look at the wall clock on the wall. Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, his stomach was hungry again to ask to be filled with good food.

"Mas ... Mas Bai ... Adzan dzuhur. Want to pray no? I hungry?" call Rara gently without touching.

His ears were so sharp, Rara's hoarse voice was still clearly heard in his eardrum.

Baihaqi looked at Rara and smiled

"Thank you for waking me up and reminding me to pray. After this we leave here and find a new place to stay for you, as well as looking for lunch. You're hungry, aren't you? Your son must be hungry. You get ready soon, right? All I've done is done" Baihaqi said slowly.

Baihaqi got up and left Rara who was still lying on the bed.

Moments later, Rara's belongings were moved into the car. Today, Rara began to become someone new with a new status, as a woman who will become a young mother. The difference is that all children will have a father, while Rara will give birth to a child without a father.

Keduany was already in the car. Rara rewinds her seat to be able to lean very comfortably.

"You didn't call Dyah?" baihaqi asked softly to Rara who was staring straight at the road.

"No need. Please don't tell Dyah about my move. Dyah has a family, and I do not want to always bother Dyah and become a burden in his life. There are Cantika and Mas Hendra who must be considered and taken care of, not me who is just a friend" said Rara wisely.

"That's a sign that good friends want to care about you when you like and suffer," said Baihaqi.

"But I can no longer say thank you. There's been too much help from Dyah that I can't repay, Mas" said Rara, who was getting more comfortable talking to Baihaqi.

"But if you don't preach it, Dyah will definitely be confused and lose you, Ra. You will be considered an ungrateful friend, disappearing without news. Yes, if Dyah understands, your departure is for good, but if Dyah is worried about your situation suddenly disappearing, howa?" tanya Baihaqi explained.

Rara nodded in understanding. There are two options for this.

"Later I will tell you, I will definitely tell you," Rara replied briefly as she exhaled violently.

Baihaqi glanced at Rara at a glance, staring at the pregnant woman sitting next to her. Baihaqi knew, Rara wanted to be alone and try to be independent in everything.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Baihaqi slowly to Rara who is still focusing on the highway.

"Chicken soto," answered Rara briefly.

"Chicken shot? Eaten huh? Don't just ask?" ask baihaqi gently.

Rara just nodded quietly without making a sound.

Not long after, Baihaqi's car had already entered one of the city's famous chicken soto restaurants.

The food and drinks that were ordered were lined up neatly on the dining table. Rara had already taken a plate containing puti rice and a bowl of soto chicken that was so fragrant.

"You want to use emping or peyek nuts?" tanya Bihaqi slowly gave the option to pick up.

"Peyek peanuts only," Rara replied with a smile.

"spent everything. No one is left. Remember your child needs nutrition as well" Baihaqi said.

"Every Boss," Rara said loudly.

Baihaqi could only shake his head slowly at Rara's innocent behavior.

"Where should I stay? I mean find a place to live where?" rara asked quietly while chewing white rice and chicken soup simultaneously.

"What area do you want to live in?" tanya Baihaqi returned, Baihaqi meant that all choices and decisions were in Rara's hands. Let Rara choose her own place, because Rara who knows better how the situation and conditions.

"I don't know, Mom. Mas thinks?" ask Rara slowly.

"I guess, in bogor. Let me pay more attention to you, let alone you giving birth," Baihaqi said briefly and finished off the remaining white rice on her plate.

"Bogor? Far right?" rara replied which was quite shocked by the baihaqi suggestion.

"If you want to move and become a new person, do not take responsibility" said Baihaqi slowly.

"Hijrah? What is hijrah? Isn't hijrah for people who convert?" asked Rara honestly did not understand the meaning of the word hijrah.

Baihaqi laughed crisply at Rara's innocent and honest words.

"Hey, Hijrah is not only for people who convert, but to change for the better also his name is Hijrah" said Baihaqi slowly explained.

"Ohh, like that," Rara said briefly while nodding her head.

"Do you know why I told you to move to Bogor?" ask Baihaqi slowly.

Rara shook her head slowly and answered as she knew.

"For the hijrah, right?" rara answered with doubt.

"It's not just that, there's a more important reason than that" Baihaqi said softly. The drink in his glass was already spent unceasingly.

"What?" asked Rara gently curiously.

"Because I want to take care of you," said baihaqi slowly and stared fixedly at Rara.

Stared fixedly full of cravings like that, Rara's face looked down. There was a feeling of guilt surrounding his heart at this moment. His mind wants to calm down, Rara has managed to forget Cantas with all his depraved deeds and now Rara really wants to stay alive alone and independent.

"I'm sorry, Mas" said Rara Lirih. His voice was barely audible but his words were quite clearly heard by Baihaqi.
