Attacked by guilt like being attacked by thousands of arrows that were pushed into the chest. Pain so that blood flow is stopped. Lips tightly locked, the sentence you want to say is stuck in the throat.
"You didn't bring me in?" The question of Rahma is like a gust of wind that returns life to the body.
"Sorry .. sorry, let's go in first." Undrawn clothes were temporarily abandoned. "Sit, Rah! Sorry to sit on the mat. Uh ...."
A disappointed look from Rahma made Sofia daze. Rahma was not hypnotizing him. Several times Sofia touched household furniture that is not needed at this time. Supposed to provide a drink for guests even enter the room carrying a blanket of former Wawan that has been folded.
Breathe in, hold, throw out. Sofia did that several times telling herself that everything was going to be fine.
"Tea or coffee?" bargain Sofia when the heart can be invited to work together. Simultaneously Wawan emerged from the kitchen with a wet face. He just washed his face.
The appearance of Wawan on the kitchen doorstep is much more interesting than Sofia's offer. Their gazes met but Wawan first turned his gaze and looked down.
"Well, tea or coffee?" once again Sofia asked because Rahma was still glued to Wawan.
"Eh .. water is white." Rahma mngerjap then turned her face to self-control. It is undeniable that turmoil and disappointment are present simultaneously in the heart.
A few years ago Rahma and Wawan were close but not until it became a story.at that time Wawan was only a village youth who wanted to take part in every activity held by the cadet leader. Every activity always brings them together. The two seemed familiar and often discussed contributing ideas.
At first, they had no feelings other than mutual respect as fellow members. But the other members, who saw their familiarity and felt they were a good fit, began throwing jokes that led to feelings. Gradually the seeds of love spread by them began to change, blooming as the meeting after the meeting.
"It fits, Wan, the beautiful one, the handsome one," said one member of the cadet corals.
"Akang mah could," replied Wawan, but he did not deny there was a swish that flowed with blood. Flowing blood vessels to cause a feeling of warmth and red hue on the cheeks.
"But you guys really fit. Ah if it's like this just call Mr. Lurah so all buffets," joked one of their seniors in the middle of the event that was taking place.
Hearing the name of Pak Lurah Wawan immediately turned to Rahma. He did not think that the beautiful and smart girl was the son of Mr. Lurah - the famous village leader who was rich and authoritative. Why Wawan does not know Rahma Pak Lurah's son? because all this time Rahma always dressed modestly followed by polite speech. He did not show that he was born into a family.
Differences in social strata make the courage of Wawan shrivel. The newly blooming flavor withers before being picked. Since then Wawan began to move away until finally marrying a woman who was none other than Rahma's best friend.
Destiny does sometimes look like inviting everyone to joke. It could be that the girl Wawan married turned out to be a close friend of the person he was away from.
After a long time away now they meet again in different circumstances and status.
"How are you?" rahma asked to look at the man she still admired.
"Good." After answering a question from Rahma, Wawan chose to continue drying clothes that had not been completed by his wife. Deliberately avoid so that the taste that has been buried does not reappear to the surface. He must not forget that there are now women who are more entitled to love from him.
Rahma knew Wawan was avoiding her, but she couldn't do much. As a woman who upholds the adab she is forced to accept the fact that the man cannot have.
In the kitchen, Sofia deliberately lingered. Give space to those who look like they have a bond. Even so, he kept his ears well. I wish I could hear what the two are talking about. Maybe they will talk about their feelings. He waited a long time, but he did not hear any conversation.
"Sorry for a long time, my legs can not be invited to walk quickly," said Sofia while thrusting a glass filled with water. He looked at the pretty face that held the highlight of the wound. "I'm sorry."
"yesterday I lied, you must be disappointed especially ...." Sofia's sentence only reached her throat. His intention was that he wanted to say - especially when he knew that the man who became my husband was a man you admired. But he has no evidence.
"Yes I am disappointed .. Just try yesterday you said you were married. I'll have a special gift for you. Now I just brought this gift." Rahma took out a small gift from her bag and handed it to Sofia.
"Roman?"
"Yes?"
"Is this Wawan the same person you admire?" sofia asked ignoring the gift she was holding. He could no longer hold any curiosity. Confession Rahma time in the store always presents fret when remembering it.
Rahma silence. Use the right words as an answer.
"Jawab only!" said Sofia again.
***
Wawan just re-entered the house after Rahma came home.
"Let's make a deal" Sofia said as Wawan sat down and straightened his legs.
"What agreement?" Wawan narrowed his eyes while folding the legs that had been straightened.
"I will serve you as a wife should, but divorce me after three months of our marriage."
Wawan nodded, "why should divorce? May I know why?" Hurry up he mastered expression.
Actually Wawan does not need to ask like that. He also knew that his wife did not love him. But may he ask for time to make his wife fall in love. Building a family of trust and grace.
"Three months."
In addition to the reason of not loving there are other reasons that encourage Sofia to ask for a divorce. Rahma Confession. Yes, the girl admitted that Wawan is a person she has admired all this time.
"That's too short. Give me time to seduce God. How about a year?" haggara Wawan's. Not without calculations, he had already calculated it.
Sofia looked down, her breathing sounded heavy. She lifted her face looking at the shady face of her husband. There was no anger in the man's eyes. It is only fitting that Rahma and the other girls admire him.
"Why should we seduce God first?"
"Because your heart belongs to God, it is He who can turn the hearts of men upside down. Including your heart. I am sure that no matter how hard your heart will soften when God has already given you to me."
"You're good but why choose me? There are many girls who admire you, including Rahma. You guys were close, right?"
