Grasping Taste

Contrition

Aruna woke up when she heard the sound of an open door. With the weight of his eyes blinked to see the time.

The woman gasped awake, as the clock hanging on the wall showed five o'clock in the morning.

"Mas Sabda why don't you wake me up?" nagging Aruna when she saw Sabda who had just entered and changed her clothes with a home shirt.

"The new gas will wake you up, but you are awake" answered the Word.

Aruna went to the bathroom, he would take a shower first and then perform the Fajr Salat.

"Darling, Mas kangen your cooking. Can you, can you cook breakfast for Mas?" asked Sabda as Aruna almost stepped into the bathroom.

"Yes, I'll cook for breakfast. What does Sabda want to eat?" asked Aruna when she turned to the Word who was ready to leave the room.

"Anything, the important thing is to know the same tempeh." said Sabda. For a long time he had not eaten these two foods.

"Ready, Mas." replied Aruna then went inside.

The man chose to exercise for a while so that his body does not feel stiff. Mumpung boulevard in front of the house still looks lonely, Sabda chose to run small as a warm-up before playing with the iron on the second floor of his house.

After the completion of the Fajr Salat, Aruna chose to go down to look for the ingredients that she would cook for breakfast. It just so happened that Ms. Ninik came home for two days because her mother was sick.

"Run, cook what?" rosa asked when she saw her daughter-in-law cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

"You make soup like fried tempeh, Ma." replied Aruna by turning to Mama Rosa who was sitting her body on the dining table chair.

"Mama, want some tea? Or coffee?" tawar Aruna's.

"Teh only. Oh yeah, last night you knew no, if there was a commotion?" rosa asked full of questions. They are in one party but different communities.

"What's wrong, Ma?" tanya Aruna stopped her hands that were cooking vegetables and changed to make tea for her in-laws.

Without speaking again, Rosa stepped closer to Aruna. The woman who had been holding the phone opened you tube and showed the commotion between Anin and his wife Royan. They were still in the parking area.

"Astaghfirullah." said Aruna when she saw the woman she had seen at the party slapping Aninditha's face.

"Me and Mas Sabda also had time to see them kissing in the parking lot, Ma. But, we don't care." said Aruna recounted the incident last night.

"Basic is shameless! If she dared to approach the Word again, Mama would throw it into the Indian Ocean, all eaten by the whales." growled Mama Rosa, every thing related to Anina the middle-aged woman was suddenly emotional.

"If it were Aruna, the real problem would not be Aninditha but Mas Sabda himself. Because, if only Mas Sabda had strong faith and loved Aruna, betrayal would not have happened, Ma." said Aruna by stirring tea which was then given to Mama-in-law.

Their talk, which was more than gossip, has now turned serious. The two women did not realize that Sabda was already standing listening to their chatter.

"If the woman becomes pregnant with Mas Sabda's child. Aruna easily chose to split up. Receive someone who once betrayed us is not easy it turns out." continued Aruna.

The pregnant woman then focused on cooking while Rosa felt shocked when she saw Sabda already standing near the stairs.

"Mama's going to the terrace first, Run!" pamit Rosa's. He looked at his son who was staring at him and Aruna.

The Word walked closer towards Aruna. Actually he did not know what to talk about to the figure who was still busy in front of the stove. The man continued to look at him with a feeling of either, because it turned out that the woman was able to grasp her feelings so firmly that everything could go well.

"Can't you forgive a mistake, Mom?" tanya Sabda made Aruna look over.

Aruna gasped in surprise, but she then smiled towards the tense-looking face.

"I have forgiven Mas Sabda. I will not survive if I cannot forgive Mas Sabda. But it's not easy for a woman to forget something that hurt her" Aruna said. This time, he could not interpret the sad gaze of the Word that was fixed on him.

"I have forgiven Mas Sabda. We just go about it in a good way and focus on our baby." continued Aruna, then she turned back to the pot that educates and stir the soup that is now educational.

"Mas Sabda, want some coffee?" tanya Aruna shifted the discussion that made the face of the Word full of regret.

"Coffee, dear." answered the Word. He who intends to exercise was finally not so.

Sabda chose to enjoy her morning coffee while waiting for Aruna who was still cooking breakfast. True, people say regret is not much more than avoiding problems.

Meanwhile, Anin and Royan's quarrel is heard echoing inside the apartment Royan rented for Anin.

The woman was so angry because the video had gone viral that her face was not clearly visible. But, right now everyone who already knew them must know the forbidden relationship of the two.

"Everybody knows our relationship now. I hope you will marry me!" aninditha Pinta. The woman looked chaotic, she no longer knew how to hide her face from embarrassment.

"I can't! Yessi, he doesn't want to be pitted. In fact, she threatened me to end it all if I married you." Royan replied by standing face to face with Anin. The man could not leave his family.

"Our relationship is not free either. I've paid you and this apartment still has a year left. You can use it." replied Royan then the man stepped away.

"Fuck you, Roy!" aninditha throws some things at the man who has now disappeared from behind the door.

The woman was crying so much. He hated his own life. Anger, disappointment, hate and hurt blend into one. Yes, however he felt his pride was already hurt.

His body decays on the floor with a roar that continues to echo throughout the room. He just blames his fate line.

The bell has been ringing ever since. He was like trying to open the door. There was no purpose in life, even to meet people she felt ashamed of. But, the bell kept ringing, until he forced himself to get up and open the door.

"Mr Anin..." Ana hugged Aninditha who looked very chaotic. While Anin was just sculpting, she no longer had the strength to respond.

"What's wrong?" lirih Anin with a raucous voice. Stareawed.

"Stay with me." take Ana. He felt sorry for his brother after seeing the viral video.

"Come, Ma'am. We open a new leaf." Ana persuaded once more when she saw Anin speechless.

"I want to die! I don't have a face to see the world." Anin refused that she thought was just dead.

"I'm going to move. What if Madam Anin comes with me." persuade Ana once again. Seeing, the condition of Anin, Ana did not feel the heart.

"I'm ashamed!" anin replied, her voice sounded very weak.

Ana pulls Anin's hand. Even women who are not energetic just follow it. Both are in front of the mirror.

Ana took out something from her paper bag, a hijab and put it on Anin's head.

"For a while maybe not sincere but at least this can protect you, Ma'am." said Ana while framing Anin's face with the hijab she just brought.

Anin was crying hysterically looking at her face in the mirror. She never imagined wearing a hijab.

"People will have a hard time recognizing you, Ma'am. We're opening a new leaf." talk Ana.

Anin hugs Ana while crying and nodding in agreement, things make Ana smile calmly. He never agreed with his cousin. But, Anin slumped down there was no harm in embracing her as a brother.
