Long River
Little Escape



They got in the car. Once the car was on the road, Aska started talking. "You don't get too close to Kenzo. He's the cause of trouble. You see for yourself, he's sitting in the back. Everyone shits it."


"I'm also sitting in the back, cold and a lot of mosquitoes."


"God ...." Aska is now confused as to how to correct her sentence.


"You mean all the people sitting behind me. Aye right?" Leka glanced at her husband.


"Leka, that's not what I meant. Don't be fooled by his talk. He is smart to turn the facts around with his innocent face. Just nena ...." Aska suddenly stopped her sentence, but already. Leka heard it.


"Who's Nena?"


"That's not important. The important thing is, you believe me with my words."


"The man who told the whole world his wife was a maid?"


"God ...."


With a cold face Leka did not want to see her husband's face at all. After that there was no more talk until they entered the apartment, but she noticed the way her husband went back and forth to the apartment with a card key that looked complicated to her. If he does not have the card, he cannot go back and forth into his apartment.


Leka immediately makes Runi milk but Aska continues to try to convince Leka not to believe Kenzo's words. The man did not know anything that Kenzo had instilled into his wife's mind so he looked panicked.


"Leka listen to me ...."


"I'm lazy to hear that excessive talk of you. I don't see him like that."


"Thank you not to be naive. That guy ...."


"I'm tired of hearing it!" Leka lifted Runi who was on the sofa chair and hugged her. He then put the pacifier of the milk bottle into his son's mouth.


Aska tried to sit next to Leka. He tried a different strategy. "God ...."


"In appeal to you worrying about others, look at yourself first. Do you deserve to be called a good man" cut his wife.


Aska. In many ways, in his heart he admitted he could not win an argument against his wife. Much is said, there is a point so that he is difficult to master his mind. Leka is older than him. Not only that, but Leka's mind is more mature than Aska who is still childish and very dependent on parents.


"Leka, please ... Right now I want us to focus on our marriage. I don't want anyone to bother him."


"Then what do you want me?"


"More trust me than anyone else. I'm your husband" said Aska softly.


"If reality cannot be believed how?"


"God ...."


"If it happened to your mom how?"


"What?"


"Your father said your mom was just a maid?"


Aska gulps. "That's impossible. Papa loves Mamap very much."


"And if you don't, you better let me go."


"Hey, we have a child, you have to think about that."


"Your son should call you Om, isn't that crazy!"


Aska was silent for a moment. "Why don't you listen to me?" Said scowling.


"Because your idea is crazy, you only think of yourself."


"Hey, you're not in my position, you don't know!" Aska began to get angry and got up from her seat. "You're delicious. If you walk away from me you still have a place back, but I. If I was scribbled from the Jhonson family list, I would have absolutely no place to go while you would be able to mate again with someone else. Aye right?"


Runi, who was not comfortable drinking milk, began to cry. Leka put the half-living bottle of milk on the table and held it.


"If you can't stand me anymore why do you keep defending! Just let go of me so YOU'RE HAPPIER" Leka said, upset as she shook Runi in a sling to keep him quiet.


"Oh, you want to get away from me? Go ... go! Come please. GO, if you're happy!!" Blasts and anger came out of Aska's mouth.


The cry of Runi apparently made the anger of the two heat up even more. Leka who thought of Runi who kept crying finally relented by going out of the apartment. He immediately took the elevator and went downstairs. He exited the apartment building on foot.


Withstanding the tightness in her chest, Leka continued to walk where her legs were stepping. Her tears began to fall without asking. He looked at Runi who was beginning to calm down in his carriage, and his heart was relieved. He tried to wipe his tears.


Suddenly a car approached and stopped next to him. "Look?" The glass next to it opened.


Leka had to look inside, who called out to her. "Sister Kenzo?" He hurriedly wiped his tears.


"Why are you alone here all night?" Friendly ask. He saw Leka wipe away her tears.


"It's okay."


"If you want to walk for a while looking for the wind, across there is a playground." Kenzo looked at Leka. "Want I show you?"


Leka seemed to doubt.


The woman then got into the car in silence. He nodded slightly at Kenzo for taking him there. He just looked down.


After the car left, Aska had reached the bottom floor and looked for Leka to get out but did not find her. He was confused where to look.


He was really upset with himself why to talk so harshly to Leka. Though what Leka said was true but her ego held her back. He actually only wanted Leka to be a little patient because the month was not long, but the words that came out of his mouth even hurtful harsh words. He was affected by Runi's cry which made him inexplicably boil and could not hold back his emotions. This is not supposed to. This is not what he wanted.


Leka sat down bowed in a swing of iron that moved slightly. He held his sleeping son in his lap. Kenzo came closer with 2 cans and gave one to Leka. "It's orange juice." He opens the lid.


Leka took it and took a little. "I'm sorry to trouble you, to get me here."


"It's okay." Kenzo gulped down his drink. "Do you remember your husband?"


Leka glanced at Kenzo at a glance, he did not know how to explain it.


"Is Aska too chatty? Sorry."


Leka smiled a little.


"You can also work with me if you're no longer comfortable working with him."


Leka smiled bitterly. He tightened his embrace on Runi, and rubbed his own arm, cold.


Kenzo took off his jacket and covered Leka's body from the front with the jacket so that Runi was also enveloped.


"Eh, no need," said Leka reluctantly.


"It's okay." With a bow Kenzo put the jacket around Leka's neck. "The air's getting cold. Don't you want to move inside? Back there's a restaurant that's open until midnight." Kenzo pointed to a restaurant in the distance. He looked back at Leka, and the position of their faces was close. Leka's sad face reddish around her eyelids makes her want to wipe her tears, remove her pain and replace it with a more beautiful rainbow color. A woman like this, is she not aware that she is an angel?


"I'll just go home." Leka. He was actually still confused, but the night was getting late. There was no place for him but to go home. Runi also had to sleep in her room because it was night, and she as her mother had to give up.


"OK."


But her tears still wanted to fall. Her maternal soul lost to her ego as a woman, as an ordinary human being and she just wanted to cry.


"Look?" Kenzo saw Leka's tears fall as the woman tried to stand up.


It's like losing grip. His body was limp and almost fell. Kenzo reflexes her. "Eh, sorry."


Leka took off the canned drink he held until it fell and spilled on the ground. He even grabbed the shirt of the man in front of him. Kenzo realized it when he wanted to take off his arms because his shirt was stuck in front. "Mmh?"


"Just a second. A-severa sa ...."


Kenzo came back. He could hear the woman sobbing in his arms.


Soon her crying subsided. The man took it off slowly.


"You want to go home?"


Leka nodded slowly and looked up. "I'm sorry I was ...."


"It's okay. We're going home now."


Aska was tired of circling the area but could not find his wife. So where's he going? What ... lest he come back? Ah, hopefully he's back. I hope so. Leka, come back to me ....


When he reached the apartment building he saw Leka waiting in front of the entrance. "They I'm looking for ...."


Leka doesn't care. He immediately entered the building. They entered in silence, into the elevator. The elevator was full but Aska pulled her closer. Leka wanted to stay away but was powerless because it was full. She was forced to keep quiet as her husband grabbed her from behind until people started descending on each floor, the woman turned back away.


When entering the apartment is the same. Leka immediately entered and climbed the stairs. He immediately put Runi to bed. When he entered the room he took his clothes without looking.


"Leka, have you eaten? I'll buy you a delivery meal (message delivery) if you're still hungry." His wife entered the bathroom without speaking.


Aska waited for him to get out of the bathroom. When his wife showed up, he was confused as to what to say.


Leka cleanses the face and combing the hair. Not to forget he was wearing a deodorant, but after that he immediately went into the blanket and closed his eyes.


"God ...."


"Go take a shower, don't you like people who haven't showered?" Leka who was sleeping behind him spoke without looking.


Aska immediately took a towel and took a bath. As usual, she came out of the bathroom with a horn. He saw his wife closing her eyes. He immediately got dressed and went up to the bed. "God ...." He lay down and touched his wife's arm.


Leka brushed off the man's hand.


"Please forgive me." Aska tried to grab the hand again, but the woman pulled him back. "Yes, I was wrong. Sorry."


Leka did not answer until the morning.


Aska wakes up and does not find his wife in bed. He then searched for Runi but he did not find her in his room either. Where are the two of them?
