Five Years of Love

Nightmare of Flowers

Because it has been three months living in the village, Kendra was mingling with the community and activities around her residence.

That night as usual, Kendra will attend a study at one of the residents' houses. His close neighbor, Mr. Imam, picked up Kendra.

"Come on Kendra, we're leaving together."

"Good Sir. Baby, we're leaving first!" pamit Kendra to Bunga.

Smiling flowers. He knew why Kendra called him dear, because there was a Mr. Imam.

On the way

"How old is your wife's pregnancy, son?"

"That's three months sir!"

"Oh, time for the telonan ceremony, son."

"Donate sir?"

"Yes customary ceremony for 3 months of gestation age. Doesn't Kendra know?"

"Yes Sir. Kendra doesn't know about the ceremony."

"Son Kendra doesn't have to worry. My wife and I will help you."

"Do you have to sir?"

"Not really. It is a custom or custom. But there's no harm either. The event was filled with recitation and prayer for safety for the mother and her baby. At the age of 3 months, it is time for the spirit to be blown to the baby in the womb. At this age, the baby already has a life. Prayers are offered so that the baby who has had life will become a sholeh, kind and filial child."

Kendra mangosteen mangosteen.

"I'll talk to my wife later, sir."

Their conversation ended when they arrived at the school.

"Bunga, the Imam spoke about the telonan ceremony. How do you think?" kendra said after the lesson.

"I went with Mas Kendra, how good it is."

"Yes we live in society, and if that's the custom in this village, we better follow it. His activities are also good. Prayer and prayer. We can all share food."

Flowers nod.

"Then I will go to the Imam. Ask for help from him and his wife. Because we're blind to that."

"Tomorrow. It's already night. They're also resting."

"alright. I take a break, yes, tomorrow I have to send things to the next town."

"Staying?"

"No. When you're done, go straight home."

"Thank God." Flowers breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why indeed?"

"No papa, just being alone in a house this big doesn't feel comfortable."

Kendra smile.

"Sleep. You have to work tomorrow, too."

Flowers nodded then stepped into his room. He took Kendra's jacket and put it on. Then the flowers fell asleep.

Flowers are walking in the shopping area. He went into one of the stores that sold baby supplies. When he chose the baby gear, a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"I finally found you!"

Shaky flowers. He was very familiar with that voice. The voice of the person he was away from. Flowers closed their eyes, and they did not dare to turn or look. He was afraid to see the man's face. He was afraid to see Gerry's face.

"No, no. Kendra is innocent. He's just helping me." Flowers ventured to twist their bodies. But his eyes are still closed.

"Why did you close your eyes? It's me Faldi. Don't you want to see me? Don't you miss me? I'm innocent to you, but why are you punishing me?"

The sound turned softening and the grip on the Flower boat also loosened. Flowers ventured to open her eyes.

He was wide-eyed, not Faldi in front of him, but Gerry's face with a cruel sneer.

"No. Let go of me. I hate you!!"

Flowers scream in their sleep. His head shook, his body full of sweat.

"Resome flower!"" Kendra rocked the body of Flowers trying to wake the woman from her nightmares.

Conscious flowers. He got up and hugged Kendra.

"Mas I'm scared. He's a-comin. Found me. He'll punish me!"Flowers tighten his embrace. His body trembled in fear.

"Sstt. calm down. It was just a dream. There's no Gerry here. It was just a dream!" Kendra calms Flowers. He rubbed the Flower's back.

The flower released his embrace.

"Sorry mas" said Bunga with a blushing face.

"No papa. I heard your screams, so I went in. You seem to be mimicking."

Kendra looked at the flower.

He still likes to wear my jacket while sleeping. Is his desire to smell my body still there? inner Kendra. His lips covered a thin smile.

The flower who noticed Kendra's gaze said.

"It's become a habit. If you sleep without wearing this jacket it feels less."

"Flower, have you never had the desire to clarify your relationship with Gerry?"

"What do you mean Ken?"

"Sorry, I'm not suggesting so please don't misunderstand me. I mean, are you gonna hide forever? Don't you want to live free without the fear of being discovered by Gerry?"

"Who would want to live like this, brother. I don't want to either."

The flower answered with a sad face. Kendra stroked the Flower's head.

"Sleep again. It's still night."

Flowers then lay down his body. After Bunga fell asleep, Kendra left the Flower room.

The next morning, after breakfast, Bunga asked Kendra about what she said last night.

"Mas Ken, about what you said last night. What's Ken mean?"

"I mean, why don't you just sue Gerry for divorce!" answer Kendra.

Flowers were surprised by Kendra's reply. He hasn't thought of getting in that direction. He just wants to be free from the Gerrys.

Maybe Ken is right. If I want to be truly free. I have to ask Gerry to divorce me. Moreover, our marriage has not been recorded in KUA, it will definitely be easier.

"You were right Ken. But how and what if Gerry won't divorce me?"

"Let's ask someone who understands better. Now, Mas Ken left first huh. Assalamualaikum.."

"Mas can nebeng up to the workplace Flowers? "

"Can. Let's leave! "

Bunga took her bag and set off in Kendra's car.
