Long River

Mal Again

Zack comes to the table where Lydia and Raka have lunch. Of course he followed Aiko. Aiko gave Lydia's code with her eyes so that Lydia would not tell her what had happened.

"How can you eat with him?" zack asked Lydia, confused.

"Oh, I-I asked Kak for schoolwork," Lydia replied as she glanced at Aiko with her big eyes.

"Which one? Here Brother help."

"Geez, how could your sister have a friend if all the same business as her friend, her brother interfered?" sindir Raka's. "Yep, Lydi. Now we just move on." He pulled Lydia out of her stool. They left Zack.

"Tuh, right? Lydi is already big again, why do you keep tailing. For a long time he could not have a friend dong would be." explained Aiko, but Zack flirted. Zack doesn't like Raka, so he's worried.

Kenzo opened the door. It was as if those memories were on the air again. Runi who was busy playing with her cloth doll on the bed and Leka who was busy looking for her instant hijab because she came suddenly, again looming in the eye. But the room is now empty. The books of his gift to Runi left Leka on the bed.

The man came to the bed and took one. The book of cloth was blue and he opened the adhesive. He tried to play small pillows that often played Runi and it made him smile. Temporary. After that, her tears flowed without being asked. He finished the book and caught it. Really, it made her tears rushing and never stopped.

I heard a phone call coming from his phone. Quickly he wiped the tears and grabbed the phone from his pants pocket.

"Hello?"

"Kenzo your voice is hoarse, are you coughing?"

The nena? He puffed for a moment to set the sound. "Ah, no. I eat too much ice cream."

Nena laughing. "When have you been hooked on ice cream?"

Kenzo laughs. "For the prank. What's up?"

"Where are you now? In Jakarta, right?"

"Yes, why?"

"Don't go anywhere, I'm going there."

"To Jakarta? Want what? To your parents' graves again?"

"I came with Grandpa. I accompanied. It's been a long time since he's visited Mr. Chris's family."

"Oh, that's it."

"Don't go anywhere huh? Watch out!"

Kenzo laughed again. "Yes yes, I promise. When did you leave?"

"This is preparation. See you then.(See you later)."

"Morning Good.(.Good morning)" Kenzo noticed the clock on the wall. The time difference causes in America morning and in Indonesia afternoon. "Huh, I have to postpone my scheduled departure again."

Nena smiled as she closed her phone. He was in the waiting room of the plane.

"You have to dare to say it, right? Don't delay any more" said David cheering.

"Yes Grandpa." Nena smiled shyly.

"You're smart, you're rich, you fit in with Kenzo, ok?"

"Ok, Grandpa." With the same smile.

"goodwill.(.Nice)"

Leka just finished ironing her shirt. He then went to Runi in his room who was playing with his cloth doll with his Baby Sitter. "Sound ...." The little girl got up from her seat and immediately ran to Leka. He was not used to the woman who took care of him.

"It's late in the afternoon, take a shower, son?" Leka carried Runi and held her. It was strange not to see his face for too long. He was with her every day until Leka remembered Kenzo.

The Baby Sitter is approaching.

"Please bathe?" Leka handed Runi to the woman.

"Yes, Mom."

"Mh, Unda ...." Runi looked a little pouted.

The woman took Runi to the bathroom.

Leka's heart is restless. Why when her husband will finally obey all his wishes, he even remembers other men, but indeed the heart cannot be lied to. He is the most honest about taste. Only that man is always present when he needs it.

Kenzo was involuntarily present in every emptiness of his heart, in every bit of his grief, without even doing anything, his presence was so meaningful. So anticipated and then so precious. I don't know since when the feeling changed, from just a interlocutor to a friend in taste. Leka began to be disappointed in herself, having accidentally opened her heart to another man in her heart.

This cannot be, she is still married and her husband is in repair towards his ideals which he has always set in his prayers.

Huh ... God, why am I so greedy now. Where is the one Leka who used to be so unpretentious and wished only a suaminyah would pay attention to him, only suaminyah would care about him, and only suaminyah would love him. O Allah, help me to the right path, O Allah, the path of those whom you guide. Help me to escape from this temptation of Satan, O God, and give me the right path that You desire. Amens.

Aska came home to welcome Leka at the door.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikum salam." Leka kissed the back of her husband's hand.

"Ah, store kiss first."

"Mmh?"

Aska grabbed his wife's arm and kissed her cheek. Of course Leka was unusual until her face was slightly red.

"Don't do it ah!"

"Indeed why? You are my wife. It's halal!"

Leka just kept quiet.

"Come, get ready. We're leaving right away."

It seems that Aska is so happy to bring his wife's child in a car. She occasionally chatted with Leka, but the woman. His feelings that once flowered no longer he can feel now. He ... has lost his taste in Aska.

Aska always took her in Mal, but Leka felt mediocre. He was silent because he felt it was an obligation.

"We'll eat first, okay?" Aska was looking for a restaurant that attracted her heart.

"Where do you want to eat?"

"Mmh, it's up to you. Leka's coming."

"Mc ...."

"Eh, Aska?"

A mother with a slightly fat, middle-aged body with her husband and daughter looked at them in amazement.

"Uncle?"

"Pa-man?" Leka glanced at her husband and the family.

"Oh, sorry. I'm ...." Leka was just about to grab the woman's hand but Aska pulled her.

"No need! If it has been successful .. sok know. At the end of the day borrow the most money!" said Aska ketus.

"Astagfirullah alazim, Abang do not sudzon so." Leka shook Aska's arm in a low voice.

"Indeed! His brother died instead of being in a doain, but was in debt. What kind of sodara is that?" said Aska annoyed.

"Eh, poor father ye? If you don't cave nyang help, you don't school, Tong. Don't eat! Aided by ame bule it aja songongnye for mercy. Belagu really you!"

Aska could not stand it and immediately attacked him. He pulled the collar of a man he called 'uncle' to strangle him.

"Bang, Bang .. Don't Bang." Leka tried to break up. He held onto Aska's arm to immediately release his grip. "Bang bashful Bang, later we can all be kicked out of Bang, from here."

Hearing that, Aska immediately took off her grip.

The mothers were anxious to see her husband and tried to calm him down because he was trying to clear his airway.

"Udah, you want to get out of here! Empet I see your face on!" Aska pointed in the other direction while speaking rudely.

It was the attention of the people in the mall, but the dispute soon ended. They separate. Aska pulled Leka's hand while looking at the restaurant she wanted to enter, with emotion. Leka was forced to follow where her husband took her while Baby Sitter was still trailing behind.

Aska entered a Sundanese restaurant and immediately looked for a seat. He sat down beside his wife and immediately embraced Leka's arm while leaning his head there.

"Eh, Bang. What are you again?" whispered Leka was confused. He was a little embarrassed to see the people who ate there.

"Wild Ah! I'm upset ...." Aska. "Let's order some food."

With a bit of embarrassment, let alone Baby Sitter Runi also sitting beside the same table, Leka picked up the menu book and took a look around. Suddenly Aska's head held high while pointing at the menu she saw. "Eh, this looks good, we'll just eat this, honey?"

"Eh, bo-leh ...." It was quite difficult for Leka to see the childish side of Aska considering that the man was occasionally rude and cranky when talking.

At lunch, everything looks good again. The man was even excited to add to his meal.

They also went to several shops for clothing, looking for clothes that would be suitable for a party.

"Bang, that was already a good bang. Don't look for anything else."

"No, I don't like it. Try this one." Aska showed a white dress with embroidered ornaments on the edge of her hand. He put it in front of his wife's body to see the possibility. "good this. Try it first ...."

Leka went to a small cubicle and tried there. He then came out.

"Well this is good ... I'll just buy this one."

"But Bang, this shirt is expensive." Leka had already seen the price near her neck.

"It's okay, I like it. Just buy this one. I'll find my partner for me. You're looking for the shawl."

"But white is easily dirty Bang."

"The skirt is green toska, so it's not all white." Aska approached his wife's face.

"Why Bang?" Leka looked awkward, and slightly retreated backwards.

"your eyes. Sometimes it looks gray and sometimes it looks blue. Do you have any Caucasian descendants as well?"

"Oh, said my grandfather was of Turkish descent, but that's my great-grandfather."

"Oh, it deserves to be beautiful."

Back Leka's face flushed instantly.

They then finished shopping for clothes and shopping at the supermarket. Not to forget Runi bought a toy by Aska for the first time.

"Of, Om!" Runi pointed at the toy she wanted to buy.

"Well, how do you change the call?"

Leka just shrugged her shoulders.

After shopping, they went home. Leka put vegetables, meat and fruit into the refrigerator and then went up to the 2nd floor. Runi had been bottle-fed by her Baby Sitter, and the woman was waiting for Runi to fall asleep. Leka went back to the room.

"Darling ...."

Leka turned around and her husband had wrapped his hands around her waist to the surprise of Leka.

"Oh .. Why do you like to surprise me so much?"

"Can you warm me up tonight ...."
