In Bogor, in the old Anjani house. A house that is not so big but beautiful. Guava and rambutan trees, growing lush in front and side of the house. There is also a mango tree at the back of the house, close to a small fish pond that is not well maintained.
Yesterday, when Anjani was in Jakarta, his house was guarded by distant relatives, whose house was in the next alley. So, the house is empty and only cleaned twice a week.
His brother had suggested that his house be sold or contracted, but Anjani refused. "Don't Om. Jani will not have a home. After all, the house, the relics of father and mother. I also don't know, until when it's in Jakarta." Such was the answer given by Anjani, when his brother gave a proposal.
It turns out that, a few months later, Anjani came back to Bogor.
"What's up Jani? Are you okay with your husband?" ask his brother when he finds out Jani's coming home.
"We split Om. Jani is healthy, and Jani's face is no longer damaged. Let the Eagle focus on his rightful wife. I'm just a wife, as a form of responsibility, because of yesterday's accident." Anjani, explaining about how his relationship with the Eagle so far.
"Oh so yeah, Om thinks he'll be interested and formalize your relationship, because you're already beautiful again."
Anjani smiled, hearing his brother's words. He no longer said anything.
"Yes, here's your house key. May you live better than yesterday!" his brother said full of hope.
"Aamiinu. Thank you very much, Om," said Jani, when his brother said goodbye to go home.
Anjani goes into the house. He looks around. The same room as the one before. The layout of all the items is still the same. He approached the table in the corner of the living room, where the photos of his father and mother were.
"Dad, mom. Jani's back. Jani is no longer his wife. Sorry Dad, Jani couldn't bear to hurt another woman. Wasn't the father who often advised Jani before, so as not to damage other people's relationships. Now Jani's back, and she's about to start a new life."
Jani, said with a trembling voice. He also shed tears, remembering his father and mother while living together first.
Closing her eyes, and sighing deeply, Anjani hugged the photo of her parents. After that, he put the photo back in its place.
Now, Anjani continued her steps into the room. He put down his bag and suitcase, then laid his body on the bed.
Simple room, with a simple bed. There are no king-size beds, like the one at his home in Jakarta yesterday. The tables and cabinets too, were only made of simple teak wood, there was no such luxurious furniture that the Eagle had provided for him, in the house he had left behind.
Anjani knows if the house is for her. The letters of the house are complete, handed over by the Eagle himself to him. But, yesterday, when he came home to Bogor, he put the letter on the room table. The keys of the house, he left it to the aunt of the maid in his house, to be handed over to the Eagle, when he returned from the hospital.
"Ah, it feels relieved after all is done. I can start a new life" Jani said in her heart. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep first, to rest his tired body, during the trip from Jakarta to Bogor.
Drett...
Anjani squirms, when he hears the vibration of the mobile phone on the table. But he didn't wake up either.
Drett...
The phone is back vibrating. Anjani finally woke up, and checked her phone.
"Mama Amel." Anjani, spelling the name printed on his phone screen.
..."Hello Ma."...
..."Yes Ma. Jani just arrived and fell asleep in this room."...
..."Ah, thank goodness. Mama's worried, you go and don't tell Mama. This is Mama tofu from Abhimanyu."...
...""Mas Abi's? Jani didn't tell him Jani was coming back to Bogor today."...
..."He met you on the street. But when he reprimands, you don't hear. But he's sure you're going to Bogor, because bring a suitcase too."...
..."Oh so Ma. Sorry Ma."...
..."Yes already. You're fine there, if there's anything call Mama."...
..."Yes Ma, thank you."...
Phone connection disconnected. Anjani took a long breath. "I'm sure if I didn't meet that Abhimanyu mas earlier, why did he say to meet you on the street? Ah, maybe because I was too happy with my return to this house, so I didn't pay attention around," Anjani said inwardly.
He got up from the bed and stepped out of the room. He went to the back and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.
*****
At Amel's mom's office, Abhimanyu was checking some files that Amel's mom had given him.
Abhimanyu, asked to come to the office by Amel's mother, because there are some things that he had to double check from the financial statements of Elang, for the last year, before Adhisti officially became his wife.
"It seems, this is already one with the one yesterday Auntie. It's just a copy" Abhimanyu said, showing a file to Amel's mother.
"You can tell which ones have been and which ones have not. Aunty's too dizzy to do that Bi."
Mama Amel, leave everything to Abhimanyu. He doesn't want everything to be missed.
"Oh yeah, do you have any plans ahead for Anjani? it's a pity, he's not Aunt." Mama Amel, complaining about Jani, who decides to leave the life of the Eagle, her son.
"Not yet to know Tan. Actually, when he was in college, Abi already had a similar feeling to him. Unfortunately, Anjani was too quiet and shy. She's also covered, so Abi's having a hard time getting attention from her Tan."
Abhimanyu, finally told me about Anjani during college first. He who can not get close to Anjani, can only be a secret admirer. After graduation, he returned to Jakarta. So they never met again. When they met, it turned out to be with Amel's mother and was already the wife of the Ocean Eagle, even though she was only a wife of the series.
"But from Anjani's confession, the two of them, never had a husband-wife relationship you know Bi," Amel's mother told Abhimanyu.
"Don't know Tan, if that's the case. Abi never asked Anjani. He only asked Abi for help, if he wanted to on my behalf, to be able to convince Mas Eagle to let go of him. Abi, it's no problem Tan. If there is a soul mate among us, it is a gift from God that Abi deserves to be grateful for."
The explanation given by Abhimanyu, made Mama Amel understand, with what Anjani asked yesterday.
"So, that's just Anjani's excuse? Aunt thought real. But if you have no intention of asking Anjani to be a wife, yes Auntie wants Eagle to marry her again, officially."
Abhimanyu smiled, hearing the words of Amel's mother, who still hoped that Anjani could become a daughter-in-law for his son's wife, Samudra Eagle.
