Muhasabah Love

Having known

The coat in hand floated into the air, while the owner immediately turned to face the door. “I didn't see anything? Cover your head with it.”

Myria hurried to pull the coat stuck on the sofa to cover her head and face. She was too careless for coming out without a hijab let alone a veil. Actually, I didn't think that Space was coming home now. Didn't Mrs Nasita last night say Angkasa was coming home next week.

“Udah yet?” Space is like asking the door because it is still standing back to it.

“U–udah.” Still in an unstable condition, Myria replied. He did as Angkasa ordered to cover his head with the former man's coat.

Hearing Myria's reply, the new Space turned around. Then, he stepped into the middle room. When he passed his ex-wife, the man turned his head. “Ngapain you here? Wear nginep anyway. It wasn't my fault I was about the one just now.”

From behind the coat that covered her head and almost all of her face, Myria chipped. The woman glared and was about to return to the room regardless.

However, just a few times, the clattering of steps from the direction of the stairs distracts Myria and Angkasa. The two humans saw the arrival of Lady Nasita who hurriedly chased something, followed behind her Mr. Aji.

“Myria, why are you, son?” As if not seeing her son coming home, Lady Nasita actually approached Myria with a worried face. Checked the woman who had been considered her own child carefully from top to bottom, even rotated once.

“Myria no pa-pa, Bun,” Myria says. His shout turned out to disturb the rest of the two parents who were upstairs.

“Are you okay? Don't make Mama panic.”

“He's just surprised look at me, Ma.” Space interrupts. Suddenly he was envious to see his mother's attitude treat Myria like that. In fact, it used to be happy when Lady Nasita spoiled Myria like pampering her.

“Kasa, you're home, son?” After controlling themselves, Mrs Nasita only realized the existence of the child. He approached and hugged. “You said it's still Tuesday home, it's only Saturday, right?”

“Urusan is done, Ma. I deliberately went home so I could rest. Not to mention asking Mama brought Myria here.”

“Iya, Mama apologise. Mom forgot to tell you yesterday. The plan is this morning want your phone, but you've reached home.”

Space pursed lips. His eyes glanced at Myria for a bit, then parted into the room to rest.

“Salat Dawn don't forget, Kasa.”

From the steps, Angkasa answered ‘iya’ without turning his head. He left his parents downstairs to take care of Myria.

“Sleep again, Honey. Mama thought this was just a misunderstanding.” Lady Nasita's attention returned to Myria. The woman asked for the coat Myria was still holding to wash.

“Let Myria, Bun. Soon after dawn, Myria could not sleep. Let Myria take a shower for a while and clean up the house while waiting for a bright day.”

“Alright then. Come cook with Mom. Weekends, ART this house is always on holiday. Mama deliberately comforted because usually Mama who will cook for the family.”

Myria agreed. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and had to dress completely covered like a normal day. Watch out, be afraid if Space appears like a ghost without an invitation even though the man was willing to sleep.

Mr. Aji could only take a deep breath looking at the attitude of Angkasa and Myria who had both disappeared from sight. Again there is regret tucking in the heart because of the past. However, a gentle swipe from Mrs Nasita who is now felt, made her realize.

“They just need time, Pa. Papa don't blame yourself. Important thing at this time, how about we start thinking of a wise way to melt the heart of Kak Mandala.”

The morning incident was trying to ignore Myria. Now, she's focused on cooking in the kitchen with Ms. Nasita. The mother of her ex-husband told me a lot when both were like this. About all the things that were missed after a few years.

“Butik Mama stay one. Some branches are forced to be sold for capital building the company that is now lived by Kasa sama Sakti, dear. With the help of Papa and many more people to make shares. And, thank God it went pretty smoothly.”

Myria nodded while cutting fruit to make juice.

“Why do you choose to work in a company rather than build your own business, son? Mama will not ask for capital, because surely you already have.”

“Eh?” Lady Nasita's question successfully made Myria's body suddenly stiff. Where maybe he admitted blatantly to him that deliberately entered the company to see the Space. “Eum, the, Mother. I want to collaborate with so many people, Bun. Let many temen also here.”

Glasses were placed by Mrs Nasita on the table. The woman smiled. “But thank God once can fit this work in place Kasa. Destiny no one knows, yes.”

Myria only grimaced hearing her mother-in-law's words. He continued to put the fruit into the juicer machine and wait until it was finished.

The sun is starting to rise. Myria replaces the activity of sweeping the yard while watering the plants. Mrs Nasita actually forbade, but the woman insisted.

Amidst the sweeping seriousness, suddenly a gray white cat approached. No matter where it came from, Myria immediately put down a broom and carried the fluffy animal.

“They're you. Where's your employer? Are you straying?”

His name is animal, he cannot answer. The cat only licked its two front legs alternately and then rubbed into the face.

“Myria.” The voice of Madam Nasita calling from within managed to distract Myria. “Come, breakfast first, son. Papa's waiting at the dinner table.”

“Oh, yes, Mother.” Unable to leave the cat in the yard, Myria carried him into the house. He will show off the cat to Mrs Nasita and Mr. Aji when he arrives inside.

“Mother, there's a cute cat coming to Myria. Does this have a mother? If so, can Myria take a friend home in the apartment?”

“Enak just want to take my Gilbert home. Buy yourself there, who sell a lot.”

The heavy sound from the direction of the stairs made Myria turn her head. He found Angkasa heading to the dining table with a plain white T-shirt and material pants below the knees. The man's face was still fresh, seen finished bathing or just washing his face, Myria did not know.

“Kasa, which is nice to talk to, Nak.” Mrs Nasita scolds. “Myria, dear, it's Kasa's beloved cat. Unfortunately, he was brought back here even though college was finished. I bought it in England. Just like your intention earlier, Kasa bought it also for friends in the apartment during college first.”

Previously had gawked, now Myria nodded slowly and then lowered her body to release the cat. The furry animal immediately ran away and headed to the side of the house after being completely freed.

During breakfast, the atmosphere was so quiet. Mrs Nasita who spoke a lot yesterday, is now busy watching Angkasa and Myria take turns.

“Kasa, this cook Myria. What say?”

Mrs Nasita's question was thrown. The space that had been enjoying was instantly silent, even stopping chewing.
