I WAS THE THIRD PERSON
Thirty Five



"Whose home was it?"


"My house!"


\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=


"No! Don't come in here! It's not good for ex-husband to be on one roof!"


"So I have to take you to the hospital again? Come on Shof, I'm not a magician who can grant you a wish in an instant. It will be difficult to find a contract at night. And I think the safest place is here, Shafiq won't be able to reach you!"


"But, Mas? This is not true!"


"Shof .. You always have the habit of thinking things far. Comeon! We are not both inside, there are 2 ART old ladies here and also there is my daughter Shofi. I just want to make sure of your health! Remember the condition I took you out of the hospital? You will restore your condition! And I'll make sure of that!" Shofi shook his head, after thinking for a moment he nodded.


Both are already on the doorstep when the clock ticks 8 times indicating 8 o'clock at this time. A middle-aged woman opened the door, and an adorable little boy ran out of a room when he heard the door open.


"Mr ...." A small raga in an instant landed on Shafiq's body. He glanced at Shofi the woman he had hit. Little Shofi looks confused to see the presence of Shofi in his house.


"Darling .. introduce this to Papa's friend. While he will stay in our house. Ohya, do you know what Papa's friend's name is?" Little shofi shook his head.


"She's Shofi's like you too." Little Shofi kept paying attention to Shofi.


"Oh yes, Papa will take Aunt Shofi to his room. Shofi plays in the room with Mbok Ratih huh! Later Papa followed. Little Shofi nodded and soon climbed to the 2nd floor of his house followed by an old woman.


"Come on!"


"Mass ...." Shofi. Doubtful steps.


"Come on! Consider this your home. You here won't be bored, can play with my daughter later." Shofi closed his eyes for a moment and nodded afterwards.


"Mbok Arum, please prepare the guest room! In the next few days my friend will be staying here!" Mbok Arum who a moment ago opened the front door now turned to the kitchen, took a key and turned it on a room with a sturdy white door.


Both are still standing sculpting, while Mbok Arum looks deftly pairing a soft sakura patterned sheet on the bed. He asked permission to go to the kitchen afterwards.


"This is your room from today! Stop thinking about something that is making you worse! After your condition is stable, just think about the steps you will take. But in the meantime, enjoy your day!" Raihan's fingers were just about to sweep Shofi's cheeks, but Shofi quickly turned around.


Shofi stood on the edge of the window and opened the curtain slightly. There was an orange round light and a bench there.


"Just behind your window is a garden. The evening all seemed faint, but the flowers would bloom very beautifully there the morning of tomorrow. Like your life, tomorrow you must turn into despair. Your lives are long Shof." Shofi closed the window and turned around and nodded confirming Raihan's words.


"May I rest now, Mum!"


"Oh yes, of course. My room and little Shofi upstairs, you can have Mbok Arum call me if you need anything." Shofi nodded again.


"Oh yes, in the closet there are some clothes of my late wife. I'm looking for one that suits your style. While wearing it before I buy you a change of clothes."


"I'm sorry I'm so much trouble you!"


Raihan smiling. "I'm happy to do it, so relax!"


"Well I go, Assalamu'alaikum ...."


"Wa'alaikumsalam."

In different places Shafiq was shocked, furious and angry did not find Shofi's body in his room. He tried to get information from the nurses but nil, Raihan completely erased all traces of him.


Frustrated Syafiq drove his APV through every street in Bandung hoping to find Shofi's shadow. Stupid and uddy things. Yes .. of course Raihan is not stupid to bring Shofi to the center of the crowd like this.


"Where are you, Shof .... I am so guilty! But don't be like this! And you are Raihan ... Where did you actually take my wife ...! Damn you!"


Shafiq continues to curse and curse! Emotions have mastered the value of good they have. The fear of loss dominated his heart.


"Tomorrow .. Yes, tomorrow I will go to the Hospital to see Raihan!" shafiq muttered afterwards.


_______________


Early in the morning, a knock landed on the sturdy door of Shofi's room. Shofi, who was still chanting some verses in the scriptures of his Lord, stood up and opened the door.


The middle-aged woman he knew named Mbok Arum appeared. "Sorry to disturb Mom, you call mom to come for breakfast together" he said.


"All right, I'll tell you to Father." He went to the back after.


30 Minutes passed, the sound of a car came out of the courtyard. A knock was heard. Shofi was shocked to see Raihan's body standing in front of him. Without excuse he entered.


"I thought you were leaving?" Raihan smiling.


"I'm going to America this week, I told my staff. Your husband must be looking for me. Now, we're frustrating to lose track of you." Shofi.


"I brought you breakfast, let's eat!"


"I'm not hungry, Mom!"


"Fight Shof! Your son needs nutrition, remember what I said last night? Don't hurt the innocent!" Shofi. Raihan spooned the rice and side dishes and pointed them at Shofi's mouth.


"I can do it myself!"


"Okay, sorry ...! I have something to do. You don't mind not being in this house?"


Shofi stupefiedly looked at Raihan.


"Don't look at me like that, my heart can't see it!" Shofi immediately lowered his head. Raihan smiled at Shofi's behavior.


"I'm just kidding, at 9:30 my daughter is coming home from her tutoring, you can play with her or do anything in this house. Don't hesitate! After the sublime I will return!" Shofi.

A man in a suit attached to his body walked with wide and fast steps down the corridor of the Hospital. Yes, it is none other than Shafiq. Before going to the office, he loosened his time to look for Shofi's whereabouts. Last night he couldn't wait for the morning, and now he has to meet Raihan and ask him everything.


"I want to meet Mr. Raihan, is that really the room, right? I asked the receptionist of the Director's room he said on the 3rd floor."


"Be-nar, sir. But Mr. Raihan has not come yet" said the nurse who was crossing the 3rd floor area.


"What's this?" A straight man suddenly approached.


"Sir Yoga! This sir, this father is asking Mr. Director, "the nurse replied.


"Continue your work, don't talk like that!" lugas Yoga. The nurse passed.


"I'm Mr. Raihan's assistant. Let's sit for a moment!" Yoga directs its steps on 1 set of sofas not far from their standing position. Syafiq.


"Sorry, what business are you doing in the morning looking for my boss?" yoga is unequivocally un-basically clear.


"Asusan you brought my wife away! And I'm here to ask where my wife is!"


"really so? I think Mr. Raihan is not such a man, maybe you're wrong to look for people!"


"I'm not a fool who takes steps for no reason! Now just answer, what time does Raihan pack usually arrive at the Hospital?" gusar Syafiq's.


"It's a shame you're out of luck. This morning Pak Raihan headed to America for business purposes, so it's free that you find him here!


"That guy is really sneaky! Did he take Shofiku with him anyway?" inner Suafiq. She pulled her hair back and clucked, frustrated!"


"OK, now give me your boss's address!"


"Ma-af! That's privacy and I can't give my boss's address to just anyone without asking for his consent!"


"Mahh ..." Shafiq is back.


"Mobile number, give me the new phone number! Her old number I've been calling is always off ...!"


"Well, I just found out Mr. Raihan changed his number. He often deactivates his phone, and usually it happens when he does not want to be disturbed. Like spending time with a woman maybe ...." Yoga very cleverly repeats every word that Raihan taught him, words to make the heart of Shafiq more broken.


Everything happened according to plan. Shafiq left him in a mess, he repeatedly clenched his hands while cursing. Shafiq jealous!
