The days of changing the whispers of the neighbors about the affair that Syifa did with his office friends expanded to reach Syifa's own ears.
“Who said that, Mom?!” sahut Syifa, when he was satirized by his neighbors to buy vegetables at a traveling vegetable maker who was in front of Syifa's house. Mothers who were originally lying insinuating Syifa all-out immediately fell silent. Subjected in fear by the veiled woman's angry expression.
“Who said I cheated?” syifa asked in a high tone, but all the mothers were still silent.
“Jawab Moms! Don't just dare my quip!”
“Your husband,” replied one of the thick-bodied mothers trembling in fear.
Syifa immediately paid for her groceries and went home without saying goodbye to the mothers who were still surrounding her seller and pretending to be busy choosing vegetables.
Arriving inside the house, Syifa immediately vented her anger at her husband who had defamed her.
“You are so outrageous, Mas! I am the one you cheated on, but why did you tell people that I cheated on you?! What the hell do you want, Mom? Huh?!”
This time Syifa had completely lost her patience. She was tired of her husband's childish behavior and temperament.
“Gua didn't tell them you cheated. Cave Just spread your photos fit again with your guy. Those who concluded themselves,” kilah Zidan relax. Then continue playing the game on his phone.
“Lagian really ‘kan, she is your affair?”
“Enak! Don't equate me with you, yeah! I'm not a cheat like you!” ketus Syifa's.
Syifa snatched Zidan's phone and hid it behind his back. “If again spoken to it see the interlocutor, Mas!”
“Ck, herein no HP cave!” Zidan raised his right hand.
“No! Want me to throw it away!” reply Syifa upset.
Zidan stood up from his seat and tried to take his HP out of Syifa's hands. Both of them were involved in HP's capture scene.
“Elu getting longer and longer! Herein no HP cave?!” snapped Zidan, pulling Syifa's arm. But Syifa kept her phone.
Both of them fell to the floor. Syifa fell right over the chest of Zidan's field. Even the lips of the two were close to meeting. For a few seconds they were silent in an overlapping position. Then wake up and both are wrong. Especially Syifa, she turned nervous. This is the first time I have ever been in contact with a non-mahrome man. Although he had been married for a long time, but for Syifa, Zidan was still a foreign man in his eyes.
Syifa was holding onto the chest, in which her heart was beating erratically. He did not realize that the phone in his hand had returned to the owner.
Syifa chose to go to her room to stabilize her erratic heartbeat. Ignoring Zidan who returned engrossed with his game in the middle room.
***
Time keeps rolling. Lina has given birth and is married to Zidan. Syifa's days are getting worse, he is now often not at work because it was made babysitters by Lina.
“Please take care of my son!” tell Lina, while moving her baby to the carrier of Syifa.
“Lin, I can't. I want to work,” Syifa explained.
“Ck, gone. Permission again is the same as your good-natured boss,” said Lina lightly.
“Where are you going, anyway?” cyifa.
“Mau hangout same my temen-temen,” replied Lina.
“Yes Allah, Lin, the puerperium has not finished already use the event hangout all. Stay home and take care of your baby. Let me get to work. I work also for the living expenses of all of us,” Cerocos Syifa. Growled.
However, Lina ignored Syifa's words. He wags the hand of the past fools gone.
Syifa remembered that her husband was still sleeping in her room. She rushed to Zidan's room to give up her husband's son. So that he can keep working.
Arriving at Zidan's room, Syifa found her husband was well groomed and fragrant.
“Where are you going, Mas?”
“Hah! Want to know your cave business!”
“Not so Mas, if not important-not really need to go anywhere huh! In rumaj aja take care of your son. I want to work, Mas.”
“Have his mother there. This child has a mother. Why did you call the cave?”
“Lina is out, Mas.”
Syifa had to call her boss for permission again today. Fortunately, the boss understood his condition.
Syifa is like a rodent in her husband's house. He had to finance the life of his husband, as well as honey and honey child. Zidan is still not looking for a job.
***
Returning from the office, Syifa was startled by a noise from inside her house. Syifa rushed in and saw what was going on inside. It turned out that Zidan and Lina were having a great feud. Another woman was sitting on the living room couch. Syifa approached and asked what was going on.
“That's the Fa, Mas Zidan said he wanted to marry again.”
Syifa who was staring at Lina turned to look at Zidan. “Truely so, Mas?”
“Iya, cave likes and love alike this cave girl.” Zidan grabbed the shoulder of the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.
“You're not ashamed of what? As a man who should be the backbone of the family. Financing us all still depends on Syifa. Now the songs want to get married again. Ngaca napa Mas! Ngaca!” cerocos Lina's. Emotion. While Syifa was still able to strengthen and told Lina to be patient.
“Yaudah, Ira, you do not officially allow marriage cave with Ira. The cave will marry her in series. Easy ‘kan?” said Zidan. He always gets into trouble. Then take her new wife away.
Lina was getting inflamed, harsh words, curses, curses, all thrown mercilessly towards her husband who had gone with another woman.
“Patience Lin, be patient!” syifa said, rubbing Lina's shoulder.
Lina looked at Syifa with a look of disbelief. “From yesterday you were patient, Fa. I'm confused about you. What is your heart made of, Fa? How can you be this patient?”
Syifa just smiled a little.
“Still be able to yes, you smile in a gini-like state, Fa.” After Nyerocos Lina went to her room. With Syifa.
Syifa was tired of her husband's attitude. He thought about giving up and going home to his parents.
“Fa,” call Lina accompanied by knock on the door.
“Iya. A minute.” Syifa hurried to open the door to her room.
Syifa looked at Lina who was carrying a suitcase and a big bag. “Lin, where are you going?”
Lina put the suitcase by her side standing also her big bag. Then remove the sling, and hand the baby to Syifa. “I am not strong as Mas Zidan's wife, Fa. I'm just gonna go and take care of the divorce papers with her.”
“Lin, istighfar Lin. Don't make decisions when you're angry. Think of your son and his future.” Syifa tried to advise. However, Lina remained on her stance.
“I'll keep going, Fa. I can't afford it. Titip my baby, yeah. Please take care of him as your own son.”
Syifa looked at Lina, then turned to look at the tiny baby who was now in her cradle. Then I looked back at Lina. “You're crazy, huh? This is your son Lin.”
“I know it's my son. But I believe you can take care of my son much better than I am his real mother. I believe that under the care of a great woman like you, my son will surely become a godly child, Fa.”
Syifa was unmoved, she no longer knew what to say. Lina hugged and kissed both sides of Syifa's cheeks as a sign of farewell. Then Lina left. Syifa was still in place.
***
Syifa is worried. Zidan hasn't been home in days. For several days Syifa was forced to take her baby to work.
“Where are you anyway, Mas?” muttered Syifa, while pacing in front of the front door. His eyes occasionally probed out the window whose curtains were open. However, there was no sign of Zidan coming.
“Surely you are again delicious with your new wife ‘kan, Mas?” Again, Syifa muttered. Then rushed to the room after hearing her baby's cry.
Syifa was really frustrated. He thought he would give up too, then went home to his parents following in Lina's footsteps.
“I'm tired Mas, with all your behavior,” said Syifa, while packing all her clothes and baby clothes.
His decision was made, he would go home to his parents.
After locking the door and keeping the key under the terrace tablecloth. Syifa stood on the terrace observing the surroundings. He tried to convince his heart to leave. He looked at the boy in the sling. Then stroked her baby cubby cheek. Syifa's eyes also glazed over.
Syifa flinched from the daydream when suddenly her phone rang. View the screen of incoming calls from an unknown number. Syifa had hesitated about lifting, but finally lifted also fear important.
“APA?!” tekik Syifa after hearing someone's conversation on the other end of the phone.
