I WAS THE THIRD PERSON

I WAS THE THIRD PERSON
The Forty Five



"To the Abii square, Hana wants a unyil martabak next to the mosque!"


"Martaback? Okay readypp!"

Raga semampai slowly down one by one the stairs of the big house that he occupied. She looked around looking for her husband's first woman. He was very curious whether Fura was really a sincere woman or just a pretense that he displayed in front of Syafiq. He also decided to go down to talk.


Although meeting Fura was not the first for him. There is always a claustrophobic swish considering Fura is the first woman in the heart of Syafiq and has many beautiful moments of course that they feel calculate the age of a longer marriage.


"Where are you going?" Santi, the middle-aged lady of the ART house is approaching.


"Fura, I mean Fura's mom everywhere, Mom?"


"Duhh .. Don't call me mom, just call me Mbok or Bibik. The mother was to call her mistress," she said with a smile making Shofi smile too.


"Ja-di ... Where's Fu-ra's mother?"


"Mother again in the front garden, used to observe the roses" replied Santi.


"Still, Bik" said Shofi before heading ahead.


The beautiful raga with a homegrown rayon robe and front triangle jilbab looks sparkling to see one by one roses in the garden.


"Mak Shofi, here? Come closer!" Fura who caught Shofi's shadow flashed a word.


Shofi approached and smiled. He sat down afterwards on a park bench on the side of Fura's wheelchair.


"Why doesn't Shofi want to go with Shafiq?"


"I just want to be at home" Shofi briefly replied as he traced the face of Fura who was kissing an orange rose there.


"Beautiful," shofi said.


"I agree. Roses are beautiful, so I love them. Besides being beautiful she is also strong, she has thorns to protect herself. I envy roses!"


"I'm not talking about flowers that I hold, but I'm talking about you. You're beautiful, Fura." Fura looked over and smiled.


"Mak Shofi is also beautiful, all women are beautiful! If handsome is certainly a man." Fura smiled back.


"Why can Fura smile so happily? Though there's me who might be a storm in the house Ma'am?" lugas Shofi's.


"The storm also came because of the commandment of the Creator. And anyway why Shofi calls himself a storm. Ma'am Shofi is a good woman, not worthy of that designation!"


"If I'm being evil?"


"Cruel what?" lirih Fura's.


"Want to master the Shafiq mas maybe!"


"Please! Means my fate is less than lucky, but I'll stay by my husband's side. Making sure only my heart hurts but my husband stays happy" Fura said after swallowing his saliva. He wasn't really ready for his words.


"Isn't that stupid?"


"Near me accompany my husband to the end!" Fura smiled bitterly at Shofi. He said again after. "But I'm not sure Shafiq will stay with Shofi if Shofi turns evil!" Fura covered his tight heart, though he thought Shofi was not serious about his words but that fear was there, but he tried to throw it away. He smelled another rose after that.


"What would Fura do if he could walk back?" shofi asked, looking back at Fura.


"That's impossible!"


"Nothing is impossible!" Fura smiled.


"I have a suggestion of what to do when I walk back."


"What's that?"


"Don't let any woman take Mbak's property! Handheld mas Shafiq only belongs to Mbak!"


"Good advice, I'll do it if it happens. But it's a pity that all is impossible, and I choose not to imagine it!"


"Some time he'll be back!"


"Mr is very sure."


"Of course, they only buy ice cream, at most Hana asked for martabak afterwards. Then they'll go straight home."


"Is it impossible for Shafiq to stop by somewhere else?" lugas Shofi's.


"Other places he might stop by besides my house is Shofi's own house, but even you are here. So Shafiq will be back soon." Shofi smiles.


Hm .... All right, I'm clearance to go upstairs again, ma'am!"


"Please! Thank you for accompanying me," said Fura smiling bitterly.


________________


In the room, Shofi digests everything that comes out of Fura's lips. He who captures the sincerity and magnitude of the love that Fura has for Syafiq feels tight. Even he could not sacrifice that much. Sharing husband! Things that became a terrible scourge and he hated so much but it turned out that the Creator exposed him to the situation.


If there is a phrase do not hate something too much later you will enter it, it looks like it is happening to Shofi. The thing he hated was now a test of his obedience. Whether he will accept the exemplified but discouraged sharia, or avoid it as a sign of the weak faith he has, because he feels unable to be in that position.


Shofi flinch until the sound of adzan magrib reverberated to coincide with the entry of the Syafiq APV into the courtyard. Her husband has returned! Her inner voice wanted to run and greet her husband, but the other side of her heart realized this was not her home. Shofi chose to open the window and stared at the body in the distance. Behavior he realized was foolish. After the lies of the husband, he still expects the figure of Shafiq with him.


He stopped for a moment thinking his brain and performing a service. The chanting of the holy verse he chanted afterwards until entering the time of Isha and he performed his worship again.


"Bus .... Ms. Shofi," call Rani, the woman who usually helps Fura a lot.


After opening the prayer cloth, Shofi opened the door and smiled at the figure of the woman fluttering in front of his room.


"Mr ...."


"Eh, yes Ma'am. Sorry .. I'm so daydreaming."


"What do you need to find me?"


"Mom was asked to go down by Bu Fura for dinner!"


"Oh ...." Both go downstairs.


From the top of the stairs, Shofi's eyes continued to trace the area below but did not find Shafiq. He asked Rani. "Sir, sir Shafiq is invisible?"


"After Maghrib prayers Mr. came out, Mom," said Rani.


"Where?"


"I'm sorry I don't know, Mom." Shofi.


"Where is Shafiq, why didn't you tell me? Does he not consider me in this house? He was with Fura and started to forget about me?" inner Shofi.




Up to the bottom floor, there was already Fura and 2 of his heart. Surely the Shafiq place is empty. Shofi wondered.


"Sit down, Miss Shofi!" fura Pinta.


"Why doesn't Shafiq exist?" ask Shofi for a moment.


"Oh yes, until I forget. Earlier, the superior of the Shafiq mas contacted asking Syafiq to take an example design to his home. He was in a hurry not to tell Mbak Shofi, but mas Shafiq asked me to tell you, Ma'am." Fura smiled after finishing his sentence.


"So it seems," Shofi's inner. He returned Fura's smile.


"But just lost the news of Mas Syafiq while I was thinking bad, it turns out that what happened was not as I thought. I am indeed not a Fura who can calm down and sincerely share. I'm full of bad thoughts. Is this a sign that I should avoid this kind of relationship," Shofi's inner self again churned in the middle of their dinner.
