Drizzling rain flushed the earth, nature seemed to be saddened by what happened to Ara. A beautiful figure with puffy eyes adorned her, who kept looking out the window.
Where am I going ? Go home, it's impossible. I'd better go to the pesantren.
"Please take me down this road." Ara handed over a paper containing the address of the pesantren.
"Non good."
The car drove at a moderate speed, breaking through the gurgling rain that began to fall rapidly.
To drive away her feelings of sadness, Ara opened her chat app.
50 Unread messages.
My Sister's
Ara opened a message from Sarah. A smile rose from his lips.
Why didn't I think about going to Sarah's house.
Without thinking, Ara asked the driver to turn back and head to the train station, and immediately headed to Semarang.
****
"You are the one who suddenly came."
"And I've chatted Brother earlier, anyways why not reply ?" ask Ara while chewing the food served by Sarah. Because since from Bandung, Ara's stomach is not in any contents only fresh water that comes out into his body.
"So much more work earlier, the phone in the mainin with Fariz earlier."
"Oh that, Btw Kak Danu where is Kak ? Still working ?"
Sarah was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes, there's another job out of town. Just yesterday, he said he wanted a week."
"Oh that's it." Ara chewed her food again.
"You yourself tumben play here, her husband not invited ? or again marahan ?"
"For marahan." ketus Ara.
"just one year of the household, it's been a fuss. Where did he go, bring a suitcase. What marahan kicked you out ?"
Ara seemed annoyed by Sarah's words, "Udah Kak should not be discussed. Males is horrified."Subject to
Sarah kept quiet and continued eating. He knew Ara's strange gurgle was like hiding something.
It didn't feel like Ara had been staying at Sarah's house for a week. His daily activities only take care of Fariz while Sarah works. When Sarah comes home, Ara will go into the room, sit and quietly support her chin on her feet. Sometimes Sarah was surprised by the attitude of her sister, when asked, always answered it was okay.
Ara could lie but the streak of sadness on her face was clearly visible to Sarah. One night Sarah caught Ara crying by the window, wanting Sarah to calm Ara down. But, he knew Ara's habits that were very unpleasant if she was crying in a disturbance.
"Ara ! are you ready yet ?" exclaim Sarah.
"Not Brother, I'm picking up a shirt."
"Astaghfirullah, haven't met yet ?" Sarah looked at Ara's room and sure enough, Ara was still busy choosing the clothes she was going to wear. The plan is they will go shopping to the Mall, it just so happens that Sarah has payday and kitchen ingredients are almost exhausted.
"Aren't you borrowing your clothes ?" Ara finally gave up, her clothes felt like there was nothing suitable to wear.
"Yes, that's a sneak."
Ara ran quickly to Sarah's room which was located a little far away with the room occupied by Ara.
"Okay, pick which one. Where's all the big brother's clothes."
Ara was busy choosing clothes and finally dropped the choice on her favorite maroon red dress. While picking up clothes, Ara dropped something. A white envelope, then Ara picked it up.
"What is this ?"
Ara turned the envelope back and forth, curious that Ara opened and read the contents.
After knowing the contents of the letter Ara's reflex dropped it.
*Company Act
So Sarah's sister is divorced. Why is he lying to me ? Why is he hiding all this* ?
Ara takes Sarah's divorce deed again. Put it back in the closet.
Three months the letter was received from Sarah. Means it's been a long time. Do mom and dad know ? Or Indeed Brother deliberately hid all this.
"Have you got the shirt ?"
"Daddy, it's gonna be a hunt this afternoon."
"Yeah"
Before long they reach the shopping center, Sarah seems busy matching clothes to Fariz who is already fussy. Fariz was only four years old. Ara looked at Sarah who persuaded Fariz to be quiet and not fussy, Ara's lips twinkling with a smile. Very happy if you have children, choose clothes, feed food, bathe and invite jokes.
I don't feel Ara's tears dripping down. Again Ara remembered Rafan, longing for the person she loved. How is it, healthy or not, eat or not. Such things are still spinning faithfully in Ara's mind. If only he could give offspring to Rafan, maybe now he and Rafan are happy together.
"Mother don't be long!" protested the chubby-cheeked little boy to his mother.
"Please baby, a little more." Sarah persuaded.
"Liat that, Aunt Ala so cry waiting." Fariz pointed at the riveted Ara.
Sarah glanced at Ara, "You cry deck ?"
Ara quickly wiped away her tears, "No, it's been a puff of dong. Hungry for this."
"Just a second, a little more."
After shopping and eating, they decided to go home.
*****
"Not sleeping deck ?" sarah asked to see Ara who was still watching television.
"Not sleepy, Brother also did not sleep. Fariz has been put to bed."
"Fariz is asleep. Brother's not sleepy."
Sarah sat with Ara watching while snacking on snacks from shopping this afternoon. Ara glanced at Sarah, trying to look for a stroke of sadness on her face, but Ara found no sadness.
Maybe I moved on time.
"Sir Ara can't find anything ?"
"Ask what ?" sarah without seeing Ara.
"Sister Danu still have work, huh ?"
Ara's question stopped Sarah from chewing her food and turned to Ara.
"Why ask that ?" sarah's tone was different.
"Ask him anyway. Brother didn't hide anything from me, did he ?" Ara intended to lure her brother to be honest.
"What do you mean ?"
"Sorry Brother, it was noon when I picked up the clothes in Brother's closet. I got Brother's divorce deed with Danu's sister. You guys are really divorced huh ?"
Sarah looked shocked and looked at Ara. "Yes, my brother has separated from Mas Danu" he said.
"What ! so, really, is my sister divorced ?" exclaiming Ara. Sarah nodded steadily.
"Why did you get divorced ?" ask Ara curiously.
"Mas Danu cheated, and already had a child with his affair" said Sarah clearly without the slightest sadness.
"Astaghfirullah, Brother Danu cheated." Ara smothered her mouth in disbelief. Sister-in-law who has been known to be quiet, friendly, kind and included in the list of loyal men seems to be able to cheat.
It was late at night, but the two brothers were still chatting. The television that they were supposed to watch, instead the television that watched Sarah and Ara chat. That night Ara so find out the reason Sarah divorced Danu and did not feel sad despite the divorce.
The reason is, there is no point in maintaining a traitor in his life. No matter how much love but, if it is seasoned betrayal will not be beautiful anymore.
Sarah's statement about the bastard that Sarah's call for her ex-husband, still ringing in Ara's head. His memory returns to Rafan. Will Rafan will hate her as much as Sarah hates her ex-Sister-in-law. But, this betrayal was not Ara's will, he felt as a victim. But, Rafan did not want to listen to the reason in the slightest. It hurts, but the rice has become a mush.
Ara stared at the message on her cell phone, The message sent by the unknown number, but Ara knew who the sender was. After seeing the message containing the divorce deed Ara and Rafan. Not too soon, Ara did not know how to take care of the divorce papers that quickly. Or because Rafan comes from a very respected family, so that everything matters in priority.
Ah I don't know Ara won't take a headache and immediately turn off the phone and go to sleep.

by tonight. The shadow of someone's smile was beautifully depicted in the night sky residence.
The sky represents my heart. He's been lonely for a few nights without a star next to him. The sky missed the star that left. And my Star where you are, Return my Star, I miss you.
