Time passed so quickly, it had been five days Fattan was in Jogja. And it's been three days Sakia spent the night at Grandma Eka's house. The woman was still waiting for news from Nurin and Nada. The last time the tan chat with Nurin and Nada when the two women were at the speed boat base of Kampung Tiber line.
"Kia" called Papa Aziz over to his daughter-in-law in the kitchen.
"Yes, Papa" said Sakia turned to Papa Aziz who was temporarily opening the refrigerator.
"Is the network in your village not there yet?" ask Papa Aziz.
"It seems so, Paa. Kia has contacted Nurin, Nada, Alif and even Ferri, but none of their numbers are active" Sakia replied.
"Yes already. Papa meet Grandpa and Grandma first" said Papa Aziz passed to the living room.
......🍁🍁......
At night, Sakia looks at her phone, many messages or calls that she later. Call from her husband, Nurin, Nada, Alif and Ferri. "Is Brother Fattan busy? Tumben Kak Fattan did not call" murmured Sakia.
"Why is the tower in Nurin village using a broken event anyway!!" ketus Sakia's.
Sakia comes out of the room to Grandpa Sofyan, Grandma Eka and Papa Aziz in the living room. Not enough five minutes Sakia sat on her ass, heard the car stopped in front of the house. After a few minutes, Aunt Hanin and Om Fakri opened the door and joined them in the living room.
"Hows it? Any word from Alif?" papa Aziz asked his sister, Fakri.
"Yes, Brother. We came here to give you information. It seems Alif's proposal was accepted, and Alif asked us to immediately follow him to his future wife's village. Alif does not want to postpone the wedding again, he said it is complicated if you have to postpone the wedding" explained Om Fakri.
"Alhamdulilah" Papa Aziz, Grandpa Sofyan, Grandma Eka and Sakia said basmalah.
"What money dowry and other money have they talked about?" ask Grandpa Sofyan.
"Already, Paa. Subhanallah, the dowry they asked for was very little" replied Om Fakri. "But even so, Hanin and I have discussed, we want to pay double, let's just say we appreciate Nurin and her family" continued Om Fakri.
"It's okay. Tomorrow we pack up and we go to Ambon at dawn" said Papa Aziz. Then he looked at his parents. "Papa, do you want Papa and Mama to come? The journey there is a long way" continued Papa Aziz.
"Yes, Cake. Nurin said, from the speed boat base to their village takes four hours" said Sakia.
"We're still going. Alif our only grandson from Fakri" kekeh Grandma Eka and Grandpa Sofyan.
...---🍁🍁---...
Sakia sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at her cell phone which from morning until now remained silent. No messages or calls from Fattan. So did Nurin and Nada.
"Oh my God, what really happened to Brother Fattan" murmured Sakia, a sense of anxiety approaching her.
Drt drt....
Sakia's phone rang, not waiting for Sakia to pick up her phone. The beautiful smile that had been etched changed into a frown on his forehead. "Whose number is this" murmured Sakia. The woman ignored the incoming call from a number she did not recognize.
Ting!!
One incoming message notification. Sakia opened the message and read it. Her smile returned when she read a message from her husband. "Owww, so the new number was Kak Fattan's new number" Sakia murmured.
Drt drt...
Sakia's phone rings again. Not waiting for long, Sakia immediately pressed the green picture. "Assalamualaikum, Brother" said Sakia.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Where is kia?" ask Fattan across the phone.
"At Grandma's house. Brother, how are you?" ask Sakia, worried.
"Sister is fine. Sorry, I'm new to Kia" Fattan replied lying. The man had a fever but he did not want to make Sakia anxious. "Sir, Brother Kangen" he said seriously.
"Dec, accompany Brother to bed" pinta Fattan.
"Yes, now Brother is sleeping, Kia will accompany" Sakia replied.
"From Fattan's voice, it doesn't seem like she's okay. Doesn't Brother Fattan want me to worry until he lies" Sakia said.
At four o'clock in the morning, Sakia pranks and picks up her phone. The woman heard the man's voice but it wasn't Fattan's. Sakia fell silent and heard everything that the man who might have been Fattan's co-worker said.
"No, Brother Fattan is sick" inner Sakia. Unknowingly, her tears flooded her cheeks.
"Assalamualaikum" said a man who was none other than Fattan's co-worker.
"Girisham, Doc. How's my husband?" sakia asked after answering her greeting.
"His fever has gone down. Oh yeah, ten o'clock we'll be home. If you can pick up your husband at the airport yes" explained the doctor.
"Yes, Doc. Doc, please take care of my husband" Sakia said.
"God willing" replied the Doctor.
......🍁🍁......
Sakia was at the airport picking up her husband. From a distance, she saw her husband smiling towards her. It felt like she ran to hug her husband but she was also embarrassed, at the airport a lot of people. Therefore, only a smile that she could carve welcomed her husband's arrival.
"Dec" call Fattan.
"Here" Sakia took her husband's suitcase.
"Let's just brother" Fattan took back her suitcase. His left hand pushed the suitcase while his right hand held his wife's hand. Both of them walked to the car park. Fattan stuffed her suitcase in the trunk and then sat in the steering wheel seat. On the way home, Fattan leaned back on her head with a pale face.
"Sister, why didn't you tell me that Brother was sick" Sakia scolded angrily.
"Sister just doesn't make Kia anxious" Fattan replied.
"What pain does he have?" ask Sakia.
"Just have a fever. Plus kangen, so complete already" replied Fattan smiling little.
"Still kidding!" ketus Sakia's.
Sakia parked her car in front of the house. She and her husband got out of the car. Fattan walks open the trunk of the car and picks up the suitcase. Sakia opened the door first. Arriving inside the house, Fattan sat her ass on the sofa.
"Dec, here" call Fattan to have his wife sit down.
Sakia approached and sat down beside her husband. Seeing that Sakia was sitting down, Fattan began to lay down her body with the thigh of his wife. The man lay sideways, with a face facing his wife's stomach.
"Kia, Brother Dream Alm Mama. Mama smilingly looked at Brother then suddenly disappeared. Kia knows, Mama is no less beautiful than her daughter-in-law" said Fattan, closing her eyes.
"Sister Fattan must have missed my mother-in-law Alm" said Sakia. Reflexes of her hands stroking her husband's head.
"Is it because of the dream that you are sick?" ask Sakia.
"No. Brother is sick with longing and cape effects" replied Fattan.
"Mama, Sakia promised, Sakia will make you happy and take care of your child. Mama is calm in heaven yes, Ma" inner Sakia while stroking her husband's head.
