Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)
SS. 76. BaPers
The night is getting late, when the eyes of an Anita can no longer be closed. He opened the glass door of his room balcony. The breeze of the night breeze felt gently caressing the pores on his face.
However, the late night will never be completely silent. A wide variety of night dwellers singing, the more melodious it sounded.
For some reason, Tata is eager to enjoy the beauty of the night even without a sprinkling of stars. Perhaps that was the way he conveyed his deep grievances.
Silence, alone, talking to nature. Even though he himself did not understand, what was the thing he was thinking.
He occasionally touched the screen as wide as six point five inches in his hand. Clearly, the time showed twenty-three o'clock past fifteen minutes.
His body language seemed to be waiting for someone. It's true, he's waiting for someone. Someone who means a lot in his life. Someone who has already incised a new color in the white sheet of paper.
'Mas Al hasn't come home yet, is he staying over ?' His complaints were deep in heart, still blankly gazing away down the darkness of the night.
Kolkhi ...
Vaguely nearest handle door room slowly open. Hope no noise will disturb its occupants. But Al had to widen his eyes, when he did not find his wife on his bedroom bed.
'Where is he, what's in the bathroom ?' He murmured in his heart.
He stepped his feet towards the two-by-two-meter room whose door was slightly open.
But the room was empty, even the floor looked dry without any traces of water flowing.
"Nights like this, what are you doing outside ?" Al asked as he got his wife sitting by herself, leaning against the sofa on the balcony.
"Mas Al, when are you coming home ?" Answer back to asking.
Whether conscious or not, but Tata was not aware of the arrival of her husband since.
She stood up to grab her husband's hand. He kissed the back of his hand, hoping that blessing would always be with him.
"It's late at night, why don't you take a break ?" Al asked back.
"I ... I, can't sleep Mas." Reply staggered.
'What's wrong with Tata, it's not usually like this.' Thought Al who saw a change in his wife.
Al grabbed Anita's body, he clenched into her arms. He kissed his wife many times. In this way, Al hopes his wife gets a sense of comfort and safety in his arms.
"Maos ..." Lirih.
"Hhhhmm."
But there is no continuation of his words. Tata only tightened her embrace and further submerged her head into her husband's field chest.
"Sleep, it's night." Take Al.
Tata said, slowly he took off his embrace, as Al closed the glass door of his room balcony.
'Ah .. Maybe this is just my feeling. Or maybe this is also the baby's baby.' Al's heart dismissed the awkwardness in his heart.
In a matter of minutes, Tata was already late in the dream. The warm embrace of her husband, made her feel more secure and comfortable without any fear of loss.

"For Mother." Sapa Al to Bunda Arum. As usual, they felt together longer on the dinner table. The rest is just a greeting.
Moreover, Al, who spent so much time with his busy work.
"Dear, what time did you come home last night ?" Ask Mommy.
"It's been quite a night Mother, exactly almost midnight." Al answered half-jokingly.
"Al, if your work must be completed until late at night, you can contact the house to inform you that you will be home late. Or better stay over, than make you worry." Maki Mommy, because of the habit of Al who is lazy to touch his cellphone while working.
But besides that there is a good habit that Al does, which is always take the time to go home even though it is late at night.
Unlike a wife, who always awaits the arrival of her husband, even though it is as late as possible. Unless it was prepared early, how many days did he need to leave.
In this case, Tata would not comment. For some reason, again he looks quiet. Calmer, like a kid who's a fool with other people's business.
"Yes Mother, but as long as Al is still able, surely Al will go home." Al answered, glancing at his wife who was still in her original position, silent with a downcast look, focusing on the food in front of her.
"Yes, Mother knows. It's up to you, you also know better how your own physical condition is." Said Mother giving up.
For a time, they enjoyed breakfast the next morning, with no sound except the occasional swipe of the scoop.
"Oh yes Al, the lunch event Mother yesterday went well, unfortunately you are not home." Mother said back, on the sidelines of the activities of her hands and mouth.
"Oh, thank goodness." Comment Al brief.
"You got greetings from Aunt Ratri and Hanifa. At any time, replace those who will invite us, but you must attend, there must be no reason." The Mother said.
Uhhuukkk .. uhhuukkk ...
I don't know what the cause is, Tata suddenly coughed.
"Drink baby." Said Al offering water in his hand. Not that he grabbed it, but instead took another glass of water on his desk.
One, two sips was enough to make his throat come back relieved.
"Slow down, son." Mother Comment.
The more days her feelings become more sensitive, along with her enlarged gestational age.
Without Mommy knowing, what he said has tickled his heart. Tata recalled, the conversation he had heard between Mother and Oma Ratri the other day.
A conversation that conveys an unspeakable hope.
'Is this how God reunited the two of them, after all these years they were separated.' Anita's heart.
"Darling, I'm leaving first. Take care of your content, don't forget to take vitamins and get enough rest." Book Al before leaving for the office.
Tata who still did not want to talk much just replied with a sweet smile.
"Yes go, Bun." Pamit Nindya as well.
"Dear, okay at school yeah, can't be naughty." The answer is like the days before.
Since her gestational age grew, Mother who took over accompanied Nindya to school. Even sometimes Mother waits at school, just to talk to her old friend who just met.
At that moment, a bad thought occurred in the heart of Anita, who was worried that her husband would experience CLBK.
Because until now, he could only guess what happened in the past, without finding out how the real incident between Hanifa and Alfatih.
As at this time, the formation is complete, there is a Mother who joined one car with Al to deliver Nindya to school.
'Did Mommy intentionally, join Mas Al's car, so that Mas Al can be reunited with Hanifa.' Said his bad side of heart.
'No, it can't be like that. Mother loves me very much.' Refute the other side of his heart.
'Yes, there's no way that's happening. Al has chosen you anyway. It meant that there was no other woman in his heart.' Comment on his good side of heart.
For a while Tata could smile in relief, even without any hard evidence supporting her heart's expression just now.
