Waking up again among the desolate just a bustling mind running around filled the head. A week has passed since the departure of his wife. Every waking up is always greeted by the silence of the room which only heard the knock of the wall clock repeated to be a sign of time that continues to run. Until tightness in the chest can not be expressed through words.
All seemed lifeless, deserted infiltrate the recesses of the soul, disappointed to tear hope when he found information failure of his men looking for the whereabouts of the wife.
Sacrificing all his time to search and continue to search but not a single speck of hope was visible.
A week before his, he got his first disappointment when the taxi driver who was riding his wife turned out to only deliver to the minimarket. There was no information whatsoever after him, all like being covered in a black cloud that covered the bright spot. And that disappointment continues to this day.
Every time checking his phone, hoping there is a reply message from the Goddess. Although he knew there would be no reply from his wife, he did so in order solely to encourage himself and keep trying.
The sun had already displayed a tinge of life light, but Edgar seemed to have no part of getting that tinge of life. To him all felt ashes in the absence of the wife. Staring at the ceiling of his room Edgar repeatedly exhaled his heavy breaths while closing his eyes.
Encouraging himself, Edgar hopes his meeting with Erik today could be a way to find the Goddess.
***
Erik, the handsome and tall man frowned looking at Edgar with an unusual look. The title of entrepreneur whose name is quite calculated in the capital like there is nothing attached to him. A messy look, wearing only a long shirt and trousers. A face that looks tired and desperate perfects that the man is not okay at this time.
"Gar coffee" Erik put a cup of coffee in front of Edgar.
"Thank you" sipped a little black coffee made by the host. Edgar stared out the glass window which instantly displayed the sighting of the lake in front of him.
"Your house is good." Edgar praised.
Erik smiled a thin smile "thank you"
Almost five minutes without any talks, Erik was still waiting for Edgar to announce his arrival.
"You must have known that my wife left my house and left me" Edgar began the conversation.
Erik nodded.
"this is the second time the Goddess has left me." Edgar threw a look outwards. His eyes warmed up every time he remembered his wife's departure.
"Before the goddess left, she left the DNA test results for me. And a letter explaining that you guys have nothing to do. I believe it. Since his departure, even the one way I did was not fruitful at all. Like someone deliberately closed my path to find the existence of the Goddess." Edgar gave it a moment.
Erik smiled faintly "you suspect I helped all your wife's escape plans. Don't you?"
Edgar stared fixedly at the man in front of him.
Erik shook his "honey face, I'm not involved in anything with it. I appreciate the Goddess' decision, but I can't interfere if the Goddess doesn't ask me for help." Erik replied casually "different when the first escape first, I admit that I was involved in the incident because the Goddess herself asked me for help. But God turned out to be good to you, the various ways I hid the Goddess to be far from your reach, in fact accidentally you even met her. I decided to give up and let you try to make amends. But again you're acting stupidly, by trusting a video that was deliberately cut to make you misunderstand."
Edgar again felt slapped, could not be denied if all this was due to his own mistakes.
"But before the Goddess left, she came to me."
Edgar flinched he stared intently at Erik, but he only smiled faintly and acted calm.
"He returned the certificate of the house I bought in Bandung. Yes, the house occupied by the Goddess was me who bought her. And the last sentence he said would be to leave the capital and seek his own tranquility. That's all, he didn't tell me where he was going. Just say if the place that's his destination is the best of all options."
Edgar nodded, there was no lie in Erik's eyes. The man was serious about his words.
Edgar smiled bitterly "The goddess left her cell phone in the room drawer. He just brought his memory card."
***
It has been a week Dewi breathed air in one corner of Yogya city. Every day fosters a sense of confidence to forget all of them but the heart can not be lied to. Her heart was betrayed by her and chose to remain faithful in loving her husband.
Staring at one family who were carrying each other royong harvesting rice. The Goddess was grateful to meet people like them. His days at least passed with a sense of happiness in the midst of this simple family.
Want to help, but the condition is now not possible for him to feel harvesting rice.
He just sat and watched. Smiling as the boy sir Suryo stared at him.
He felt like he had a friend, Danan who had been a good listener a little treat a sense of blockage in the heart. A cheerful and outspoken teaching becomes a complement to the crowd that makes the mood happy.
Danan and Ajeng decided to take shelter in the hut when Pak Suryo and Bu Sri take care of the harvest that will be carried by the buyer. Some men picked up the crops and loaded them into a truck parked on the side of the road.
"Mas Danan, hot-hot gini delicious drink young coconut. Ambulins dong mas." Pinta Ajeng to her sister. His head looked up at the full damba staring at the young coconuts hanging up there.
"No need ah, cape' I'm the tree is already tall." Reject Danan, who immediately made his sister pursed her lips.
"Come on mas, it's gonna be a night of incandescent deh." Still trying to seduce her sister.
"No, I will definitely ask for a reward if it runs out."
"Secret this time don't ask for a wage."
"No way"
Danan turned to Dewi, his heart was touched when the pregnant woman was staring at the young coconut full of cravings.
"You want Dew?" Danan asked, mba's call is now no longer used when he found out that Dewi was 3 years younger than him.
"You want mas, but if Danan cape' we just buy how?" Dewi looked at Ajeng asking for approval.
"And we have our own tree mba Dew, why buy. Just tell Danan climbing. Come dong mas the man must be diligent!" Ajeng shook his brother's arm.
Once again Danan looked at the Goddess, with the spirit of 45 he stood and looked at the young coconut up there.
"OK don't take it, how much do you want Dew?"
"Mba Dew's turns that ask for immediate spirit. Basic mas Danan did not pinch your kidneys just know the taste" inner Ajeng, his lips cut down staring at his brother who had started climbing.
"Let's keep going mas," said Dewi cheerfully, and Ajeng continues to cheer cheering along cheering who up there is struggling to get a young coconut teaser in times of thirst.
