Half of the Heart belongs to Sahla

Sahla Guests

Bima and Sahla arrive home, after spending the night at the camp. They were surprised by a man who was sitting on the porch of Bima's house. Bima and Sahla look at each other, because they do not recognize the man. A mask and a hat covered his face. Such an appearance made it difficult for Bima and Sahla to instantly recognize. 

But there is one thing that Sahla immediately recognized, namely a large enough bag that was on her side. Sahla was very surprised, because the bag was hers that was overseas. He had asked his roommate to send his personal belongings through the delivery service.

"Who is Dek ? You know ?" Ask Bima after getting off the bike. But the question was not answered by Sahla. Sahla who was still surprised, even so surprised to ignore Bima's question, immediately accelerated the pace of her path toward the man. 

Seeing that Sahla had walked ahead of him, Bima also immediately followed Sahla.

"Hi, Sahla." Greet that man. He immediately opened his hat and mask.

"Sir Juna. How could you be here?" Sahla asked, her facial expression could not lie if she was really surprised by his arrival.

No time for Mr. Juna to answer. Bima asked first.

"Who is Dek ?"

"Oh yes, know Kak, this is Mr. Juna my superior. And this is my husband, Bima's sister." Sahla.

They also shake hands with each other.

"Please sit down." Bima invited Juna to sit down. Then the three sat together, and Bima sat between the two.

"If you may know, what is the need to come all the way here ?" Ask Bima.

"Sorry before, if my arrival surprises you both."

"I want to meet Sahla, my employee. There's business I haven't settled with him."

Bima immediately looked at Sahla who just looked down.

"Dec ?" Call Bima to Sahla. But the one called was silent, not responding at all.

"If allowed, I would like to have a one-on-one conversation with Sahla" Juna continued.

Once again Bima manatap Sahla. Sahla was no less surprised.

"alright. Finish it as soon as possible. After that, go." Bima got up from her seat and went into her room. His heart was in turmoil, between anger and jealousy. But he can't do anything. He did not want to be too busy with his wife.

After Bima left, Juna and Sahla now live. They're still quiet with each other.

"Why is it suddenly like this ?" Ask Juna.

 

Sahla was still down, her hands were busy twisting the veil that dangled up to her lap.

"You really don't think I exist" continued Juna.

"Sorry, I didn't tell you before."

Juna smiled cynically. "Then why do you make me wait if there's already him in your heart ?"

Sahla shakes. " No, it's not like that, he's the guy I just met."

"You'd rather be the person you just met than me who's been waiting for you for so long ?"

"We're so different."

"Difference is no excuse for not being united."

"But your parents don't approve."

"We haven't even fought for it yet."

"I don't want to be the cause of a child's disobedience to his mother."

Juna breathed. "Give me a reason, why would you prefer him ?"

"I chose him because we were worth it, our families supported each other. As for you, it's too far for me to reach."

Juna shook his head, not accepting Sahla's words just now. "It's not me that's hard to reach, it's you who won't reach me."

"I'm just self-conscious. Better to back off when not expected. Rather than forcing, which will ultimately hurt each other."

"You don't think about my feelings ?"

Sahla looks at Juna. "What about you yourself ? Do you think about my feelings ? Think about your parents' feelings too ?" Sahla shakes. "No, you only think about yourself."

Juna was silent. Spanked by the words Sahla.

"Marriage isn't just about you and me. But about my family and yours. And your family won't accept me. Then what can I do ? I am not a God who can easily turn a human heart back. I'm just an ordinary woman who can be hurt and devastated by your family's treatment at any time. I'm not that strong, Juna."

"Sahla, I'm sorry. I didn't think that far. I was so selfish, just thinking about myself. I don't deserve to be loved."

"Don't be like that. You will find a better woman than me. Who can love you and certainly be accepted by your family."

"Thank you Sahla. I will never forget you. Although it is hard, I will accept your decision. Thank you for bringing love here" Juna said, pointing to his chest. "Although it turns out this love claps one hand," he continued.

"That's exactly what you said, Sahla."

"alright. I'm pampering. May you be happy with your destiny."

"Aamiinu. Thank you Mr. Juna for delivering my things.

"No problem. Not something heavy."

After Juna's departure, Sahla followed her husband to the room by carrying her bag that had just been delivered by Juna. It turned out that Bima was lying with her hands closed her eyes. Either sleep or just pretend. Slowly, Sahla approached Bima and sat down beside Bima.

"Sir, sleep yes." Sahla Briefs. No response from Bima. Is Bima really sleeping ? It was too early to take a nap. The wall clock in the room shows at 10 a.m.

"Have you talked ?" Bima said suddenly without changing her sleeping position.

"Yes, Mr. Juna just came home."

"Your boss is handsome, sure to work with him."

"What the hell Brother."

"What's up looking for you here ?"

"There's nothing. Not something that matters.

"If it doesn't matter, he won't find you all the way home."

Sahla. He didn't want to talk because it wasn't important to his life.

"Don't want a story ?" Tanga Bima again.

"We're just straightening out the misunderstanding."

"I can't believe."

Sahla sighed. "He's just the past, brother. Not something important to tell."

"All right, I believe."

"Are you jealous ?"

"No. Where there I'm jealous."

Sahla sneered at him. "Masa? Why is that ketus ?"

"alright. My brother is jealous."

"If you're jealous, why let your wife sit alone with another man ?"

"That's it, there's no need to talk about it anymore."

Sahla nodded in agreement. "All right then." Then Sahla got up, but Bima held her back.

"Are you relieved now?" Ask Bima.

"That doesn't need to be discussed anymore ?"

"I'm just curious."

"Hmm... How is it ?"

Bima looked at Sahla, waiting for her answer.

"At least now I'm more convinced that my decision is not wrong."

"What decision ?" Ask Bima.

"Decision to marry Brother. I will never regret it, because this is my destiny. The fate I must run."

"Don't overdo it like that."

"Why ?"

"I'm afraid that someday I'll hurt you." Bima said in the heart. Given his behavior that is far from good words during life abroad.

"Aren't you dumb ?"

"It's okay. I will try not to disappoint you. But, if one day I do, please wake me up and don't leave me."

"So what the hell is that ? It seems there was an intention to do evil to me."

"Human's place is wrong and khilaf, Dek. We also don't know what our household exams will be like."

Sahla nodded. "All right, I get it. We'll both fight."

"thank you. Being with you is the new beginning of my life." Bima pulled Sahla into his arms.
