My Patient Husband

My Patient Husband
Chapters 20. Mummeted



After returning from the food stall, Felisha, Rufi and Lita arrive at the kosan with their own thoughts.


Rufi's mind was filled with question marks because since then to his two friends was only silent both during meals and on the way home to the boarding house no one spoke.


After arriving at the inn, Felisha immediately opened the door of her room and entered the room followed by her two best friends, Rufi and Lita.


"Sha, what's wrong? where have you been?"


After sitting Rufi saw no one intending to answer her question. Rufi frowned in surprise.


Felisha took a deep breath and exhaled it violently.


"So the afternoon after I came home from college I was with Lita to Mato Fi's sister's house"


Felisha began to tell Rufi everything. Starting from Mato who often protested because they felt uninspired since they were busy on campus, until suddenly Mato had no news at all.


After checking into his office it turns out Mato out of town, no one knows where and how long it went.


Check into his house. No one there can give him news.


And Mato's cousin wasn't there either.


Rufi was very surprised to hear the explanation from Felisha.


Rufi thought that her best friend's boyfriend had been very understanding of their busy life on campus because Mato had felt it when he was studying at the same place as Felisha.


For a month they were busy. Until there is no time to tell a long story. Therefore, Felisha's two friends no one knows anything about Felisha and Mato's relationship lately.


"It's possible that Mato's brother would like to tell you right out of town but his phone is missing Sha. Well, we can't, we don't know"


Rufi tried to think positively about Mato's sudden departure and there was no news at all.


"Yes, Sha, we didn't have any thoughts about that"


Said Lita agreeing to what Rufi said.


"It's been two weeks since Mr. Mato never told me. But just this week I tried to call him but never activated his number"


"I think, a week before I tried to get in touch with him, he might be busy with his work. Apparently I don't know". Further Felisha shrugged her shoulders in a listless sign.


"Oh that. May Mato be well."


Rufi approached Felisha and hugged her from the side. So did Lita who was already sitting on the other side of Felisha.


"Sister Mato must have his own reasons Sha". Litta


Felisha and Rufi nodded.

Felisha POV


A week and two I waited for news from Mato and kept sending messages to his mobile number but there was never an answer. It has never been active since then.


I tried to find out about the departure of Mr. Mato who said they were out of town for work, but their answer again made me sad.


Because until now brother Mato never come again and reportedly brother Mato is no longer working there.


I came home feeling confused and meant to go to Mato's house. Who knows if my cousin Mato is back there again.


I stopped the taxi that happened to pass, heading for Mato's house.


And here I was, standing in front of Mato's house like there was no sign of anyone in it.


I shudder because it is late afternoon and the wind is blowing, soon it will enter Maghrib time.


I tried to come closer and knock on the door many times to say hello but it had been twenty minutes there was no answer from inside.


I spread my gaze to the courtyard of the house, paying attention to the surroundings that seemed unkempt. It looks like they really left this house. My inner


If this is who I can call. Sometimes we feel like giving up, maybe we're not a match.


But my little heart still hopes that one day Mato will come to explain everything to me.


I decided to go home to Kosan. That's enough today. This might be the last time I go to this place.


I finally came home disappointed, again I found nothing there. There's no trace I can make of where Brother Mato is now.


After arriving at the boarding house, I just opened the door and went inside without greeting my two best friends Rufi and Lita who were sitting on the terrace of the room. It seems they are waiting for me.


But my two best friends are very understanding of my feelings lately.


Sometimes after college, I would lock myself in a room to just reflect and think a thousand times, what really happened to me and Mato.


What was my fault that Mato left me for no reason that would make me understand his passing


Since the beginning of the relationship between us always confused with the issue of Mato who wants to get married as soon as possible but I am not ready to undergo the household before graduating from college. While Mato wants us to be halal soon.


The reason is fear of obscenity while we are not yet halal.


Has Mato actually found my replacement? a person who wants to fulfill all his desires? is Mato tired of me?


Many questions popped into my mind and all of them only Brother Mato could answer.


He left without news.

Tok tok tok tok


The sound of knocking on the door broke my daydream about Mato suddenly disappearing.


"Sha, are you sleeping?"


Lita's voice rang out from behind the door. I glanced at the alarm clock that was on my study table, showing at half-eleven p.m. Long time ago I sat down daydreaming. My inner.


Because since I finished praying Isha and eating dinner, I sat down daydreaming until I did not realize it was late at night.


I got out of my seat to open the door.


"What's the matter, this hour just knock on the door?" I asked Lita after I opened the door for her.


"I'm going to sleep here." Replied Lita who went straight into my room without being invited.


Rufi suddenly came out of her room hugging her pillow and headed straight for my room.


"I want to sleep here too. We're off tomorrow". Said Rufi who immediately gawked in without permission.


I can't resist the arrival of my two best friends who will inevitably sleep with me tonight.


I then closed the door, locked it and sat back in my study chair.


"Why are you two suddenly going to sleep here huh? The bed is not enough for the three of us. Anyway Fi what does it have to do if tomorrow's off the same time you sleep here?"


My cerocos was astonished by the behavior of my two best friends tonight.


"Tonight I slept alone." Reason Lita


"I am too." Rufi just follow along.


I took out the badcover in the closet to stretch to the floor. Rufi and Lita will sleep on a floor covered in fur rugs and badcover tonight.


Me, Rufi and Lita have gotten used to this. We will unfurl the carpet and badcover if we will sleep together because the size of the mattress of each room is small and only for one or two people.


Because the three of us, so the one who will sleep on the bed is the host.
