Me, Dama & Rania

Go home

At a house this big, tonight it's just the two of you in Susan's bik. Dama has been going to the apartment since this afternoon to see Rania. Don't know when he'll be back home.

"Miss Susan's been living here a long time?" I asked to break the silence between the two of us. I don't think Susan likes me that much, so she's quieter.

"It's mba" he answered briefly.

"ooo.." we went back to silence. Keep staring at the television screen. Obviously, the television shows are not interesting to me. But what else, Susan just kept quiet.

"Sorry, I went to my room first" I chose to go back to my room, very uncomfortable.

"Yes" he answered briefly.

"Why does he seem to dislike that? what am I wrong? just met. Huh.." I muttered.

I threw my body in my bed, rolled around. Bored. I wanted to call Dama but I gave it up.

"Mas, I miss" while wiping our wedding photos that I accidentally keep in my phone.

My sense of longing is too strong for Dama. I decided to type a message but when I wanted to send it I hesitated. Until I finally fell asleep.

The POV

While enjoying your time with Andini, my phone rang. The name Rania appears. I picked her up and Rania told me about her pregnancy. Obviously I was immediately surprised, because from the beginning we were married decided to delay pregnancy because our marriage was silent. Put contraceptives in the obstetrician and I accompanied him. How did you get pregnant? I keep asking. I got away from Andini, went into my room, talked to Rania on the phone.

I rubbed my face rough, confused as to how. Andini certainly does not matter, but what about Mother's Father and Andini's parents if you find out? Arghh.....

This afternoon I went straight to the apartment to see Rania and will go to the obstetrician tomorrow.

The sun had risen with a golden tinge of light, I was still sitting on the balcony of my room since dawn. Still complete with mukena on my body.

I just want to leave everything to God's destiny, living my present life story sincerely. If Dama is my soul mate, God will open His way for us. How far to go and avoid.

"By Susan. Can I help you?" I approached Susan who was cooking in the kitchen.

"There's no need to mba" Susan answered ketus again.

'If you don't want to be helped' my inner self and put my shoulder to it, it's up to you.

I chose to go to the back garden with a glass of warm milk that I had just made myself.

While sitting on the campus, Word approached me.

"Andini" Firman said hello. Without excuse, he sat right in front of me.

"Prof.." I looked at the Word. I remember what happened past.

"Sorry about yesterday, I don't know if you're Dama's wife" Firman looked at me with a disappointed and guilty look.

"It's not the fault, father. But I was not being honest at the time. Sorry to get you in trouble with my husband" I lowered my head.

"No problem, it's just that the world feels cramped. Turns out you're my best friend's wife oh no, former best friend. Dama must have told me about everything, right?" I'm nodding.

"I also don't know why our destiny is always about women and right now"

"meaning?" I just immediately asked.

"Sorry if I'm sassy. I've liked you for a long time. When we first met at the library"

"Library? sorry prof, but I'm married"

"yes when I help you pick up the book on the top shelf" Word snapped for a moment

"But are you happy?" The Word kept looking at me, waiting for my answer. Hard answer for me to say. I choose silence.

"Sorry prof, I have another lecture. Excuse me" I bowed my head and passed away leaving the Word.

After college, I plan to go home to my mom and dad. Ordering ojol through the app. While waiting, I sent a message to Dama.

📩 Andini

Assalammualaikum mas, I'm going home today to my father and mother. What can?

Shortly Dama immediately replied to him.

📩 Dama

📩 Andini

It looks like 3 days.

📩 Dama

Didn't mom and dad suspect you'd stayed too long?

📩 Andini

I'll tell you that you're out of town.

📩 Dama

Okay, heart of heart. After 3 days, I picked it up. Greetings to mom and dad.

📩 Andini

Yes yes, Assalammualaikum.

📩 Dama

Walaikumsal.

"Mba Andini?" ask the driver who stopped right in front of me.

"Yes" I put on the helmet the driver gave me and we left immediately.

This road is not too wide, crowded and traffic vehicles in the densely populated area of south Jakarta. Walk into a small alley. Throw smiles and greetings at neighbors who met while passing by before reaching my house. Strengthening my heart, continue to pray that my father and mother are not suspicious of my arrival without my husband Dama.

"Assalammualaikum, tok tok.." I knocked on the door.

"Walaikumsalam" the voice of the woman I had long missed.

"Andini?"

"Mother" I immediately kissed the back of mom's hand and hugged her.

"Let's go in son" mother rolled me inside.

"Where's mom?" ask me while looking around looking for the figure of a man who I also miss.

"Dad was in the shower son, just got home from work" Mom just kept looking at me, kissing me. The longing has paid off.

"Dad and mom are okay, right?" my many.

"Alhamdulillah son, healthy walafiat" Mother kept smiling.

"Andini?" dad came to us after he finished cleaning his body. I got up and hugged my dad.

"Andini kangen daddy same mom. Sorry you just came"

"Where's Dama boy?" ask dad.

Deg

My heart is beating fast. Trying to be more relaxed, should give an answer as per the initial plan before coming.

"Mas Dama's out of town, yeah. So Andini stayed here for 3 days. Can you, mom?" I put on a face.

"ooo.obviously can dong. I miss you too" my mom hugged me back. I smile.

"Have you eaten, son?" ask dad.

"Yet well, hehehehe" I grimaced, already hungry.

"Let's eat the same. Mom and Dad really did like you coming, son, so we're not lonely for the next 3 days. When to invite the Dama nak to stay here also yes" said Dad without pause, enthusiastic.

"Yes father.insya Allah. Later Andini try to invite mas Dama, but if it's not busy yeah yeah" I hope Dama would.

The three of us enjoyed a simple dinner. The important thing is that my father and mother have made me very happy, even though there is no blood flowing in my body, I have always loved and will continue to love the two angels without wings. Continue to recite many prayers for their health and strengthen my complicated household.huftt.

Seriate....
