Time has shown at eight o'clock. Alfi looked back and forth in the room. It was that late and the husband had not revealed his nose. There was not even a word from the man. Several times Alfi tried to contact Andreas' phone number but only the answer from the operator he got.
Since this afternoon, the woman has been preparing in neat clothes to wait for her husband who wants to take her to visit his parents' house. But until the night before Andreas did not come home and there was no news of the man at all.
Anxiety filled Alfi's entire chest cavity. Now he can only sit languidly with a bagbih attached to his fingers. Dzikir incessantly said softly from those thin lips. To calm his agitated heart.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of knocking on the door made Alfi move from his seat and open the door. Looked like Linda was standing there
'' Sorry Alfi Mbak must eat first . Pity his grandpa in the belly of Mbak already this hour has not had dinner said the woman with the shoulder hair.
'' Not wanting Mbak, just wait for the father said Alfi languidly.
'' Do not do that mbak, now there is a dedek that must mbak Alfi mind.'' refer the Vinda to the master. Alfie looked to sigh. Then nodded, right he should not be selfish there is a fetus that depends on him at this time. Winda smiled then stepped towards the dining room followed by Alfi who walked away.
'' Maak sat down first said Winda while rewinding one seat to sit Alfi. Alfie seems to follow the orders of Vinda. His mind was still too upset. He even remained unmoved after sitting down with no intention to take food.
Winda took the initiative to take food for Alfi and present it in front of him.
'' The mother at the meal first'' said Winda after putting a plate of rice and side dishes pauknya. Alfi, according to him, even though he felt obstructed in his mouth he tried to chew and swallow it.
Dinner without taste was finally finished, Alfi chose to sit on the living room sofa. Her mind was so upset, she had tried to call her husband back. But not connected, it looks like Andreas' phone is dead. His heart was pounding, the feeling of worry increasingly enveloped the heart.
''Mbak Win, just sleep first is okay .'' said Alfi who saw Winda had looked sleepy accompanying himself sitting in the living room.
'' No Ma'am, I'll accompany Alfi. Alfie ma'am wants something maybe ?'' asked Winda while looking at the woman who was always good to him.
'' Can you please make a warm drink Ma'am ?'' Alfi softly. Winda immediately nodded and stood up while saying ''A moment yes Ma'am I made .'' Vinda left Alfi who sat down in a huff. Lafadz Istighfar continued to chant to calm his heart which was filled with bad thoughts.
'' O Allah save my husband from all the dangers and slanders of the world, Allah said in his prayer.
Return with warm tea in a cup. Put it on the table in front of Alfie.
'' Thanks Ma'am, kok Mbak Winda not for all of you?.'' said Alfi who saw no other cup of drinks.
'' I do not want to drink mbak .'' replied Winda. Alfi seemed to nod slightly and then drank the drink that Winda had provided for him.
'' No word yet from the father mbak .' asked Winda who knew because the mistress who had not yet fallen asleep even though the night was getting late. Alfi looked shaken, his face looked even more sad. Sometimes the woman breathed a long breath.
The clock kept turning, it was ten at night and Andreas had not yet returned. Alfi who ended up crying in the nurse's arms fell asleep. Slowly Winda laid Alfi's body on the long sofa in the living room.
'' Pity Ms. Alfi, not usually Mr. Andre like this .'' said Winda while looking at the face of the employer who was asleep. Winda remained waiting for Alfi while sitting with his back leaning on the back of the sofa.
Unbearable sleepiness makes Winda fall asleep without feeling. A pat on the shoulder made the woman gasp in shock and wake up from her sleep.
'' Mr Andre, have you gone home ?. Sorry sir I overslept .'' said Winda while looking down.
'' Why are you sleeping here ?'' asked Andreas in a cold tone.
'' Sorry sir, my mother did not want to go to the room because she wanted to wait for you.
'' Yes ''Yes, you went to the room .'' said Andreas, without again saying the Winda passed leaving the couple.
After the death of Winda, Andreas crouched right in front of his wife's deep face. He could see the dried up tear marks on Alfi's cheek. Andreas rubbed the dry trail of those tears.
'' Maafin Mas, honey. You cry for sure because of Mas .'' said Lirih Andreas. In his kiss Alfi's forehead was unperturbed by his touch. Rada guiltily penetrated into Andreas' chest, seeing his wife who must have cried because of him. Slowly he lifted the body of the wife to bring her into the room.
Alfi moved his body as if distracted as he raised it. But when Andreas stopped moving, Alfi calmed down and put his face in Andreas' chest. Andreas smiled looking at the innocent face of the wife who was sound asleep.
It was already midnight and Andreas had just arrived at the apartment. With his guilt now the man carried the sleeping wife into the room .
'' Sorry I broke my promise and did not give any news. Sorry Mas dear said Andreas alone because his wife who was asleep was not awake even though she had been put to bed. With a look full of regret Andreas was transfixed for a moment to see a deep face that showed sadness.
