My ex, my husband

EPS 115 Punish

Arriving home, Reyhan immediately ran towards his room. And when opening the closet, indeed almost all of Rara's clothes are not in the closet, only lingerie and some other nightgowns.

Reyhan took a breath and exhaled it violently. Suddenly the feet felt weak. Reyhan pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, and looked for his wife's contact. But while trying to contact Rara, her number was off.

Reyhan ran out of the house and got into the car. Reyhan will be following Rara to Bandung.

During the trip, Reyhan was visibly upset and anxious while driving. He clutched the steering wheel hard.

'I'm sorry Ra. I don't know how to show my anger and disappointment for your lies. But I never expected you to leave like this'.

In the evening Reyhan arrives at Rara's parents' house. When Reyhan arrived at the front gate of the house, a car was seen going out of the house. Reyhan got out of the car.

"Well, Reyhan boy?" rara's mother's voice came from the open windshield of the car.

Rara's mother immediately got out of the car and approached Reyhan.

"Mom" Reyhan immediately kissed the back of his in-laws hand.

"You must have caught up with Rara..."

Reyhan just smiled.

"Patience to you, son.. Rara was indeed a bit hard on her son" Rara's mother stroked his daughter-in-law's back.

"Mom must have known everything. I'm wrong ma'am, I'm sorry Reyhan ya ma'am..." Reyhan looks sad.

"Gapapa. it is natural that the problem is in the household"

"Where are you going? Rara's in the car?" Reyhan glanced at the car.

"Mother's going to Rara's sister's house, I'm going to stay there"

"Is Rara also at her sister's house mom?"

"No. Reyhan this afternoon Rara did come home, but the sore went straight away again"

"Go? where's ma'am?"

"Say to Jogja, wanted to meet his friend. Actually, I've prevented him, because I'm sure tonight you'll come. But he wants to go to Jogja. Rara is like that, but that doesn't mean she's running away from trouble, maybe she's gonna need some time to herself, Reyhan..."

'Jogja? where's she?' Reyhan was very confused.

"You better rest at home, but I'm sorry you have to stay at home. If you want to catch up with Rara, tomorrow. Now get some rest" Mom gave me the keys to the house.

"Yes mom is okay.I'm sorry Reyhan ya mom"

"You're a good boy" the mother smiled. "Mom go first yes" he continued.

Because Rara's father lives in Jakarta, Rara's sister is married, and Rara's sister starts wanderlust because of college, Rara's mother so lives alone at home, and Rara's mother is, therefore Rara's mother often lives with Rara's sister whose house is not too far away.

Reyhan finally decided to stay at his in-laws' house.

When Reyhan entered Rara's room, she saw the suitcase still lying by the bedside. Apparently Rara had not had time to unpack her clothes and went to Jogja only carrying some clothes. A sign that Rara will not be long gone to Jogja.

'In a day, you've gone far somewhere. Not seeing you for a day really torments me. You must be punishing me'

'Your heart must have been very sick, to the point that you ran away from me and disappeared. Where are you Ra...'

Reyhan sat sweetly on the chair beside the wardrobe, his eyes began to get wet from tears, his hands holding a photo on the table, a photo of Rara wearing kebaya and toga on his head, apparently Reyhan was looking at a photo of Rara during graduation.

--

'At that time, I just wanted to give you space so you could gather with your family, so that you could attend Reina's happy day back then. So that she could feel the affection of her brother. But it turned out that the disaster was coming, and I didn't know that it would have such a long effect'

'I realize I was wrong, I was selfish, I was stubborn, but should you blame me blatantly? you point to me as if I were a suspect in our son's murder'

'And now I have a hard time getting pregnant. Is that why you act like this?'

'Basic evil. But. but I also realize you're acting like this because of my lies. I'm sorry Reyhan, go far like this. Whether what I'm doing right now is wrong or right, which obviously I really need peace, but I also miss you a lot, Mas'.

Rara continued to speak inwardly, thinking of many things. Until he fell asleep in the car.

--

Reyhan picks up the phone from his pocket again, tries to call Rara back, but still remains inactive.

'Do I have to contact Galih?' Reyhan.

'Ah shit*n! I don't have Galih's number.'

Reyhan tries to contact Mora in order to talk to Galih, but Mora's number cannot be reached either.

'Why is everyone's number inactive anyway. Rara to Jogja, about where the destination is? I don't know even I've never been to Jogja. Who should I ask?! damn*n!'.

Reyhan grumbled and fell silent. Suddenly he thought of something.

'Do I have to ask Bimo?'

Epilogues

"Why did you go home by yourself, where's Reyhan?" ask Rara's mother when picking up Rara at the station. "Why are you carrying a suitcase too?" rara's mother asked.

Rara did not answer and got into the car. Rara was picked up by the driver and her mother. In the car, Rara sat in the back with her mother.

"What's the matter, son.." Mom's voice was so slow as to lure Rara to tell her story.

Rara hugged her mother and cried.

Hiks.. hiks...

"Is Reyhan still unable to let go of your son?"

Rara did not answer and just nodded, continuing to cry in her mother's arms.

"Then why did you leave like this. Why are you alone? you must not only miss mom, but you're fighting Reyhan ya"

"Mom. I was just trying to let go, not just let my son go, but let Reyhan go too. She wanted a child so badly, and I can't give her any time soon, Reyhan deserves her happiness mom, even with another woman. I have to learn to let her go from now on ma'am" Rara cried.

"Hus ah! ko that's talking. I'm sure Reyhan isn't like your father. He's a good guy, only he's still sad and disappointed. He'll catch up with you"

'Following what, he just let me go home just like that'

"Later after Maghrib, I'll go to Jogja ma'am"

"Huh what? you just got to Bandung go straight to Jogja?"

Rara just kept quiet.

"Son.. Wait a minute, Reyhan's coming tonight. Don't just run away..."

'Ah, I don't understand how Reyhan's attitude is to me right now'
