LOVE OF JUITA

Go away

The right time to know the maturity of a man: One, when he lost his fortune. Two, when the ball team lost. -adimasnuel-

Julia's ears were buzzing violently, the words Septian spoke as if beating her hearing. Carrying havoc that hit a lump of meat in the chest cavity. Only God knows how painful the wounds are there.

For a while Julia sat on the floor as if she could not believe what she had heard.

"All right, I'll grant your wish."

Julia looked at the door that had closed. He closed his eyes and let his tears flow into the river. Hope those tears will take all the trouble away. Julia pulled her knees and clenched her body tightly. He was so afraid that his heart that had broken into pieces was scattered on the floor.

"I only cried this time. There won't be any more tears for you tomorrow."

***

The door was still closed, even after Julia spent about two hours packing. Julia has booked a taxi online that will take her away as far as Septian can.

Julia realized her actions today were the most stupid and cowardly thing she had ever done. He runs away from problems and responsibilities. But his pride that had been sanded so harshly by Septian words had to be healed. Didn't Septian let her go?

Drrrrt drrrt!

His phone is vibrating, a call from an unknown number. Julia's feelings say the number came from an online taxi she booked.

"Yes hello?" Sapa Julia received the call.

"I have arrived at a high fenced house, according to the map that Mbak gave." Voice over the other side.

"Okay, I'll be right out. Just a minute."

"Good Ma'am."

Julia let out a heavy sigh with a worried heart and crushed to the brink she pulled her suitcase out of the room. His steps came to a halt at the door of the Septian study. He waited for a while, hoping that Septian would emerge from that door and realize how much wound he had created in his heart.

Even Julia swore inwardly that if Septian came out and held her back, she would forgive her husband's words without being asked.

Julia pinched her lips in dismay. His desire to knock on the door was enormous. Love, an abstract sense that locks her body to survive. Love is able to make him submit to the arrogance thrown by Septian. Only one who did a firm fight. His pride. That sense is strongly opposed to being low and mastered.

"Be aware of Julia, you are too valuable to be considered invisible. Even without it you can set foot on this earth bravely. He offered freedom. So take this opportunity." His inner murmur was at war.

Drrrt drrrrt!

The incoming call appeared again from his phone. Signs the driver was impatiently waiting for him.

Without a second thought Julia released a circular solitaire ring on her ring finger. He put the ring in the doorway as a farewell greeting.

Julia groped her suitcase painstakingly down the stairs. He does not need to ask permission from Si Mbok and Mr. For he who has power over himself has sent him away. With a hasty step Julia pulled her suitcase towards the fence.

But his hasty movement was caught by the eyes of the Mbok who was relaxing in the family room.

Mbok's heart was pounding as if crumbling to see Julia with her suitcase. The Mbok catches up with Julia who has reached the fence preparing to unlock.

"Juliaaah! Where are you going nduk?" Call Si Mbok close to Julia half-run.

Julia nodded, her hand movements halted. Inevitably he turned around to face Si Mbok. He looked into the old Mbok's eyes that were filled with worry. All the guilt spread throughout his pores.

"Sorry Mbok, Julia goes first." Julia grabbed the quick Mbok's hand and kissed him.

"W-what happened. Does Septian know?" Sahut Si Mbok stuttered so surprised.

Julia nodded quickly. He had no time to explain this strange thing. Julia glanced at the taxi whose window had opened. The driver looked like he wanted to know what was going on.

"Mas Septian wants me gone. Sorry Mbok I have to hurry. Again I'm sorry." Julia let go of Mbok's hand and darted towards the online taxi.

Julia even forced her suitcase into the passenger seat and immediately closed the car door to quickly avoid the Mbok.

Didn't the pity in his daughter-in-law's heart see him bewildered?

"Go to the airport, sir." Julia said to the driver who also looked surprised by the drama scene before her.

"B-good mbak." The taxi driver was nervous.

The car moved leaving the Mbok who was sculpting. Julia didn't even look back. He was worried that he would lose out with affection. After home and Si Mbok vanished into sight, Julia leaned her tired self into the chair. His eyes glared far out the window, the sky had darkened. Night creeping up brings the sun to the contest.

"I'm sorry I let you down. I've really lost Adab, the heart of ignoring you like that."

***

Si Mbok still does not believe what he witnessed. After the taxi disappeared from sight, he woke up. Suddenly the Mbok ran into the house. Ignoring the pain in his old joints. He climbed the stairs and banged on the Septian study.

"Yahoooooo! Open door!" Jerit the hysterical Mbok.

Septian who was wearing headphones jumped because of the power of the door. His heart was pumped to hear the hysteria of Mbok. He wondered what was going on. With a big and swift step he opened the door.

In front of him the eyes of Si Mbok blazing full of anger. The Mbok's shoulders go up and down and catch his breath.

"What's going on between you and Julia? Why did you let him go?"

Like a sleeping person being forcefully awakened with a water splash on the face. Septian stuttered. She did not expect Julia to take her bluff seriously earlier.

"Is he really gone?" Septian moves to make sure.

Septian's steps stopped at a small object he accidentally stepped on the doorstep. Puts pain on the soles of his feet. Septian knelt down to pick up the thing.

"It's Julia's ring." Mumbled wailing.

He understood what he meant, the ring was accidentally released by Julia. A sign that his wife has given up trying to maintain their bond. Septian went to his bedroom followed by Mbok. He went to the closet and opened it. Most of Julia's clothes have been lost. Septian sat in bed. Weak-headed. It was as if he had lost half of himself.

"Why keep quiet. Follow your wife quickly! He went alone. Don't you know there's a lot of danger out there!" Urge Si Mbok.

"Let it go. It's too late." Septian said in despair.

"Tian al-Astaghfirullah! What the fuck are you guys. You people understand religion but can not think clearly facing problems. Where's your wits!" Mbok's screams were full of disappointment.

"Already Mbok, it's enough not to scream. Tian's head hurts a lot."

Septian lowered his head, his hands resting on his thighs. He grabbed his hair rough hoping the tormenting throbbing was gone.

The test!

Blood dripped from Septian's nose. The Mbok. He immediately knew that even Septian was not okay.

"O Allah, O Rabbi, reunite my son and my man." Si Mbok's prayer approached the pale-looking Septian.

If Julia had not run as hard as she could from the parking lot, she would have been late to check in. With a gasp of breath he showed the proof of his electronic ticket to the astonished airport attendant. After the inspection process Julia pulled her suitcase towards the boarding pass to wait for departure.

Julia threw her tired body in the waiting chair. For a moment he sat in silence remembering the painful moment he passed today. Julia reached into her game pocket to reach for the phone. He turned on the screen and observed the wallpaper in the form of a photo of his marriage contract.

How envious he was of that smiling partner full of love and happiness on that screen. Lovely memory lurking, sweet nostalgic screech. Who would have thought their situation was so different now.

Julia closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, forcing all the memories out unceasingly. Unfortunately the Septian trail is so strong it grips the heart. Julia looked back at her phone screen with a feeling that was hard to explain. Gently rubbed Septian's face there.

"Good bye, baby."
