JIWO PROMISE

Two Place

Witri was still agitated on her bed. It was past midnight and he could not close his eyes to rest his soul.

He did go to bed earlier because he was very sleepy after praying Isya' earlier.

He let Mamak talk to Nadi who had stopped by still in his uniform. Bring him his favorite Padang satay.

After eating four skewers, he went to the room because he could not resist sleepiness.

And this is how it happened. He woke up at half-eleven. And has not been able to close his eyes again despite all the ways he did to make tired his eyes and mind.

He is being overcome by his longing on the Day.

What makes him most sad is when he suddenly misses a Day like this.

Missing her figure who will always hug her when she wakes up in the middle of the night until she will sleep again quietly.

Reluctantly she walked towards the wardrobe, then grabbed Hari's jacket. He kissed the jacket deeply before he hugged it and then he put it on.

He really doesn't want to do this. He struggled not to do this often.

He should be able to realize Hari's departure and not try to bring back his figure in any way, including clutching and even wearing his clothes to comfort his heart.

But he is often incapable. In reality only in this way could he calm his longing.

Imagining her lover giving her warmth.

He misses in the hug, also in the mum of his lover's mother.

O Allah, forgive me...

Aksa moves happily inside her stomach when Witri has perfectly worn Hari's jacket.

"You're also hugging Dad?" whispered Witri while gently stroking her stomach.

Slowly Witri lay back on his side. Gently stroked the empty pillow beside her as if it had her husband's head.

"Assalamualaikum...Tonight I miss you...Very longing.." murmured Witri then curled up more and more while sending prayers for Hari, also to conquer her longing alone.

Jiwo looked at the snow that seemed to be scattered outside the window of the cafe he entered alone this afternoon.

He has an appointment with Arata and Kyu, two of his friends to chat to fill their weekend.

Japanese Arata works as a sales manager for a computer company. Kyu, a Korean native, is a late-level S2 student who is a prankster working as a cleaning service in Jiwo's office. Kyu himself is actually the owner of a cleaning service provider company.

The three became familiar while simultaneously following a monthly routine study in the Muslim community in the city.

Jiwo is very grateful to Kyu who invited him to join the community. Where there are many Muslims from various countries who are mostly workers like him and also students.

From frequent conversations and exchanging stories about many things, finally established the friendship of the three of them.

Jiwo used to fill his weekend with two singles and usually they will teach each other the language of their respective countries. They also talked about everything about their country.

"By the way, do you have a sister, Wo? I mean little sister." asked Kyu.

"Have. Two. Why?" ask Jiwo curious.

"Is there still a single? I want to get acquainted." replied Kyu with a shy laugh.

"Wooow, would you like to try to register as Jiwo's sister-in-law, Kyu?" seloroh Arata clapping softly.

"Can you try your luck?" kyu said with a shy laugh. "I have friends at the Indonesian girls' college. He's so nice and fun."

"Why don't you go near her?" ask Arata curiously.

"He doesn't believe in us. I don't want to." replied Kyu while shaking sadly.

"If with his sister Jiwo is clearly seiman. I also know one of his family and Jiwo is a good person. God willing his family is also good" Kyu said with a smile.

Jiwo just laughed a little. Imagining his sister Esti with Kyu...

It just so happens that Esti really likes everything that smells Korean.

If you can mate Korean people will probably feel perfect happiness that child.

"Later I ask my sister first, I want to introduce you" said Jiwo then sok a little expensive selling

"Esti Prameswari." replied Jiwo.

"MashaaAllah..my soul immediately shuddered and just heard his name.." muttered Kyu while clutching his chest with both hands. Arata chuckles at him.

"What does that beautiful name mean, Woo?" ask Kyu later.

"It means women who have a way of life that is peaceful, free, happy, and perfect. Cool right?" jiwo asked in a cocky style.

"Very kereeeeeen." said Kyu while giving his thumbs up. Arata.

"How old is your sister, Wo?" ask Arata.

"This year is twenty-four." Jiwo replied after a slight recall.

"It's appropriate to apply." murmured Kyu with a serious mimic.

"Can we see the picture, Wo? What's the name of the social media account?" ask Kyu later.

"Later if I get permission from him, I'll tell you." Jiwo replied with a smile.

"Yaaahh." said Arata and Kyu disappointed.

"Ask now Wo!" kyu was impatient. Arata again chuckles at the behavior of his best friend who blingsatan like that.

Jiwo glanced at his watch. Four o'clock in the afternoon. Means at his house at two in the afternoon. Before going to play, Jiwo had VC with Esti and her mother. His sister is on vacation from her job.

"I tried ya" Jiwo said as he grabbed his phone.

"VC, Wo!" pinta Arata and Kyu.

"Not now" Jiwo replied as he gave a smile that made his two best friends frown.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..." Jiwo began to chat with the language that made Arata and Kyu throw one another with confused looks. They think Jiwo will speak Indonesian which they begin to understand a little. Jiwo uses other planetary languages.

Jiwo is deliberately always using Javanese when talking with his family or with Witri if there in front of his friends who do not understand Javanese. He was just happy to see their cengo faces while listening to what he was talking about, hahahaha....

The two of them can only smile when Jiwo seems to laugh repeatedly without knowing what Jiwo said.

Arata and Kyu looked at Jiwo curiously after seeing Jiwo keep his phone away from his ear and put his phone in a still connected state.

"He just tidied up his hood. He said he wanted me to introduce you. Wait a minute." said Jiwo who made Kyu cheerfully and Arata laughed at Kyu's behavior.

"You said that I was the one who wanted to meet Esti. Arata doesn't need you to introduce." Kyu said as he glanced at Arata scornfully.

"So scared are you competing with me, Kyu?" ledek Arata while laughing insultingly.

"You already have a boyfriend." Kyu's sergeant who was greeted by Arata's small laugh that deliberately upset Kyu.

Kyu looks instantly stiff like a dry kanebo when Jiwo's phone rings in VC mode.

Arata rushed to the right of Jiwo, followed by Kyu who sat to the left of Jiwo.

"Are you ready?" tanya Jiwo deliberately joined Kyu.

"Yes!" kyu replied slightly trembling, making Arata's laughter instantly explode along with Jiwo who raised a call from Esti.

Arata's laughter immediately stopped because his mouth was immediately silenced by Kyu's hand whose eyes had been stuck on Jiwo's cellphone screen.

"He can speak English. Please chat." said Jiwo while holding a smile.

"Hai Esti." said Arata cheerfully, which greeted the wave and Esti's smile that made Kyu seem suffocated.

"I'm Arata from Kyoto, Japan. And this is Kyu, a lousy Korean oppa." joked Arata who got Esti's laugh.

"Assalamualaikum Arata and Kyu." said Esti with a small laugh.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." replied Arata.

"Be my wife please." said Kyu which of course makes Jiwo and Arata also surprised Esti not kelulungan.

"Are you crazy?!" arata exclaimed to his feet from his seat while staring at Kyu in disbelief.
