Love One Heart to Death

Tika Curse

"What news brought Rudi yes, I became deg-deg an gini." Tika while holding the cellphone and walking paced on the front porch. Sometimes he sat on the swing and for a while he stood up and sat down again.

Towards magrib Rudi just arrived at Tika's house.

"Sir Tika," said Rudi, his face was scuffed and his clothes were tangled. Not sure if I have a shower.

"Ih, it stinks you!" Tika squeezed the trunk of her nose as Rudi came closer.

"He he he, yes Ma'am, I have not taken a bath." said Rudi embarrassed and grimy while sniffing his two armpits that smelled asem.

"Please enter!" pinta Tika opened the door, but Rudi refused.

"Outside you are not good to see others." Tika was stunned to see Rudi's self-knowing attitude. Although Rudi was older in age, but he had great respect for the woman younger than him.

"Well, please sit down?" Tika invited Rudi to sit on the terrace chair and followed by Tika.

"What good news do you bring?" tanya Tika enthusiastically. His heart is jumbled now between happy and hard.

"This is Ma'am, I send a photo first to Mbak Tika's phone, so Mbak Tika is good to see." Rudi swiped the phone screen towards the gallery, selected some photos and sent them to Tika's number. When he arrived in front of Sumi's bik house earlier, he took the time to take a picture of the house.

"What is this photo? Your ugly house is a photo, what are you doing?" tanya Tika because of a disagreement with Rudi who began to judge her .

"Prophe my dear sister Tika...." Rudi started to digombal.

"What did you say??" Tika looked at Rudi sharply, her beautiful eyes like they were about to pop out of her eyelids.

"No, kidding!" Rudi sometimes also likes a fad, "Nih, the photo of the residence of people who look like Mr. Surya." explained Rudi began to tell a story. He told me everything he knew from a to z, nothing less and nothing more.

"Solar, is that really you??" Tika stood dumbfounded by what she heard just now, Rudi followed Tika to her feet.

"So, it's true that the person in the photo is Mr. Surya, he has not died. Who was that person at the funeral?"

"I don't know myself either."

Rudi's explanation confirmed his assumption, that the person named Surya was her husband's Surya.

When she heard Rudi say the name of Bik Sumi, she remembered the maid who used to work part-time at her house. She is also named Bik Sumi. Is this Sumi's bik the same person?

After Rudi's return, Tika headed to RT sir's house to ask the whereabouts of Sumi's bik now. And as a result, he found that Bik Sumi had long moved with his son to the edge of the city, and he only had one daughter named Dewi.

When Tika asks for Sumi's new address, RT records it on a small piece of paper. Tika folded the paper and kept it in her pants pocket. After Tika gets the info about Sumi's bik, she retreats.

"Why are there so many of the same names? In a moment, I matched the address that the RT man gave me, "Tika leaned against the wall of her room, she started looking for the address on the google map, she said, finished loading the picture of the house plastered clearly similar to the photo sent Rudi. His brain turned to think about this problem to make his stomach feel hungry.

"My stomach is hungry, I just remember since last afternoon I haven't eaten. Usually Tedi at this hour has come to bring me my favorite batagor. Did I call him?" Tika shook her head.

"Don't ! He'll be spun again. I'd better just go to the kitchen." Tika walks towards the kitchen, opens the closet drawer looking for instant noodles.

"I remember, when our first night, you made me instant noodles. Now that I'm alone in this house, I'm hungry. No one made me instant noodles, fried rice and love pudding. I want it all you want, mas." Tika while unwrapping her noodles she cried again, her heart aches if she remembers Surya will marry the Goddess. Why didn't he recognize her when he met yesterday?

A bowl of delicious noodles is ready at the table and still steaming hot.

"I also miss being fed, mas...." Tika was unable to stem her tears, she cried bitterly, until when eating was salty because mixed with tears.

"If this is true, Dewi will marry my Suryak mas I do not approve of it. No, this is not going to happen. I can't just stay here, I have to do something! What about Sumi's bik, didn't he know that Surya's mas was my husband? " Tika started to tear again and the number of tears that came out made her exhausted and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Tika was already preparing to leave for the boutique with slack eye bags.

"For Miss Ti, "greet Reni who was replied with a nod from Tika.

"Why miss Ti behaves so jutek, not usually she does. Have I done anything wrong?" batin Reni then followed Tika sitting down.

"There's a problem Miss? Dong's story to me, who knew I could help?" bargain Reni while watching Tika's swollen face.

"I'm talking to you again. Someone I love will marry my friend. " Reni gaped at what Tika was telling her, then she clasped tightly onto Tika's hand.

"Married! What a cruel man it is, to leave a woman as beautiful as you. Such a man need not be weeded," Reni growled herself.

"You can find other men, there are still many good men in this world" Reni said.

"Who is that guy? Let me teach him a lesson," said Reni again who pretended to be a hero.

"My husband will marry again." Tika started to confide in him.

"What...!! So the man you were referring to was your husband? I heard he's dead." Reni is shocked, it turns out that Tika is not a widow. During this time Reni only knew Tika's husband died in a car accident.

"He's still alive. And getting married next week?"

"Are you sure that guy's your husband?" Reni tightened her grip.

Tika nodded confidently, "But when she met, she didn't remember me. I love my husband very much, even if he remarries I will not be ridho of the afterlife. We promised, and our promise is holy. Love is only one heart until death." Tika was crying again.

"And I made her a wedding dress." Tika looked at her two trembling palms, she sobbed and covered her face with both hands, her tears getting louder.

Reni was also saddened by what Tika told her.

As much as possible he was entertaining. Reni recalled the dress that a few days ago was ordered by a woman named Dewi.

"Did your girlfriend order a wedding dress?" Tika nodded, the more hysterical she was crying. Reni hugs Tika, and Tika returns Reni's embrace.

"Then what's your plan?" reni's question resuscitated Tika from the slump.

"Plan? Yeah, I should think about that. Please, help me get my husband back. " Tika rubbed her wet cheeks.

"How are you planning?" Reni helped clean her cheeks with a wipes.

"Next week they're getting married, you bring a reporter to cover their wedding, I'll expose the identity of the groom. After that I will continue my own plan." Reni agrees with Tika's idea . The two of them hugged each other again.

***

Three days later, Tika is resting in a boutique due to fatigue last night working on someone else's dress order. Tika is surprised by the arrival of an invitation-only courier addressed to miss Ti who is none other than Tika.

"Hmmm, so far the Goddess has not known I am miss Ti, the designer of her wedding dress. Look, I'll come up with an interesting present for you." Tika read the invitation and then with both hands pointed the invitation paper into small tears. Tika stood on the front porch. Reni from behind approached him.

"Miss Ti, your order has already come!" showing him a big box. Proudly Tika brought in the thing that Reni was carrying, opened it slowly and... The Diamond Wedding Gown, is ready to be used at the wedding of the Goddess.
