A month has passed. For a month Fattan always tried to get Sakia to open her heart to him but Sakia was not like she used to be. The woman's heart was hard as a stone. Even so, Fattan is not desperate to make Sakia love him again.
"The hardness of the stone if it is dripped with water will be brittle as well"
That formula that Fattan held when he was about to give up. "If stones alone can be fragile, why don't human hearts" Fattan believes, Sakia will open her heart to him again.
...🍁🍁...
Sakia just arrived at the shophouse. The woman had just returned from a restaurant that had only opened 29 days ago. He placed his bag and cell phone on the table, sat his butt on the sofa and circulated his gaze on the wall, where the wall clock was displayed.
"Four hours past thirty minutes. Brother Fattan must be on his way home" Sakia murmured.
Without lingering on the sofa, Sakia went from sitting walking towards the kitchen. Choose to cook some menus for dinner later. After cooking, Sakia went into the room. Not had time to remove the hijab, heard someone say hello.
"That's Kak Fattan's voice" murmured Sakia rushed to open the door.
"Waalaikumsalam" Sakia replied as she opened the door. "Go take a shower, brother. Kia is hungry. I don't want to eat alone" Sakia said.
Fattan smiled. "Well healthy?" asked Fattan to look at his wife's slightly pale face.
"Yes" Sakia replied.
Sakia and Fattan went into the room. As usual, Sakia will prepare a change of clothes for her husband. While Fattan went into the bathroom after removing the suit and shirt and trousers she was wearing. After preparing a change of clothes for her husband, Sakia chose to go into the next room and take a bath in the room. Not that she was embarrassed but that woman's stomach was already rumbling.
Check-lek... (Bathroom door is open)
"Sakia where" murmured Fattan.
Fattan was wearing clothes that were prepared for her. The man reviews the smile as all his needs are prepared by his wife. Not only clothes and outer pants,*********** was also prepared by his wife. Fattan doesn't know where Sakia keeps Fattan's underwear.
"Sister, let's eat" Sakia asked.
Sakia suddenly stood in front of the room door. The woman was wearing a tunic shirt and shorts to show her smooth thighs. Not to tease Fattan but she starts to open her mind, that what she has on her is her husband's. Then she does not need to wear a robe again when there is only her and her husband. Unless there's someone else.
Fattan stared at Sakia from toe to toe without blinking. This was the first time she had seen Sakia wearing a tunic shirt without wearing trousers.
"It's a custom!" ketus Sakia does not like to be noticed.
"Will she wear pants?" ask Fattan. That silly question came out lightly from Fattan's mouth.
Sakia rounded her eyes with her lips forward. "Wear it!" ketus reply.
"Alhamdulillah. Don't tease Kak Fattan, Brother is afraid of khilaf" Fattan said without thinking clearly. Isn't she and Sakia married. Sakia is free to wear any clothes at home. The road without clothes is okay while at home only her and her husband.
"Who teased Brother Fattan. At home there was only Kia and Sister" explained Sakia leaving her husband in the room.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere began to differ. If Sakia usually just silence then this time she has dared to invite her husband to talk.
"For as long as it can make Kia happy, why not" said Fattan returned his wife's smile.
"Assalamualaikum" someone said hello.
"Papa's voice beats" murmured Fattan.
"Dek, quickly change your clothes, let Brother open the door for Papa" said Fattan who was replied by a nod by Sakia. Sakia rushes to the room to change her clothes while Fattan rushes to open the door for her Papa.
Cheque-plek... (Door is wide open)
"Waalaikumsalam" Fattan replied as she opened the door. "Let's go in, Paa" said Fattan, letting Papa Aziz in.
"Papa, let's go to the dinner table. You see me and Sakia while eating" said Fattan.
"It just so happens that Papa hasn't eaten yet and Papa here also misses Papa's daughter-in-law's cooking" said Papa Aziz moved from sitting directly following Fattan to the kitchen.
"Papa came alone?" sakia tanya shifted the chair beside her husband.
"Who else you are, son. Kan Papa the faithful widower" Papa Aziz replied smilingly.
Sakia and Fattan chuckled. They also started dinner in the afternoon before the magrib. After eating, Papa Aziz and Fattan get onto the sofa while Sakia washes the dirty dishes.
"How's his mood? Is she happy?" ask Papa Aziz.
"Alhamdulillah. Papa, how do you get a woman to trust her partner again? As Papa knows, Fattan made a big mistake so it was difficult to convince Sakia" Fattan said.
"Stay follow her will. Don't hit him and don't get too caught up. Let him do the things he likes as long as it's not off track. Papa is sure, your wife is not a woman who is like a woman out there, a woman who does not appreciate her husband or a woman who forgets her status" explained Papa Aziz.
"What Papa said. Sakia herself told me that she was self-conscious about her status. He wouldn't betray our marriage even if there wasn't love" Fattan said.
Adzan Magrib stops Fattan and Papa Aziz talking. Fattan went to the room to change her clothes with cocoa clothes and then took the sarongs and peci for her and for her Papa. The two men rushed down from the shophouse looking for the nearest mosque.
...🍁🍁...
"Assalamualaikum" Papa Aziz and Fattan said hello. Both pray magrib and isya in the mosque.
"Waalaikumsalam" Sakia replied.
Sakia sits on the sofa, as do Fattan and Papa Aziz. The three of them talked and laughed together. Papa Aziz recounts the days when the middle-aged man met his wife. When the late Mama Amrita banged her head in a hospital bed just for not having the money to pay the hospital bills.
"Papa would like to spend the night here. Azam spent the night at the house of his mother and father. So no one is with Papa at home" Papa Aziz said.
"Papa just stay with us" said Sakia.
"The father does not want to live in that house. The house is full of wonderful memories. If you have time, go there often. Oh yes, if you can buy a house for you and your children later. Yes, you want to stay in this shop forever. Papa has savings so you can use Papa's savings. Then Papa also wants what the money is if not to help Papa's children" explained Papa Aziz.
