Cklek!
The sound of the door opening made Ragil who was feeding Nuri, his mother, turn to the direction where the voice came from. Ragil smiled, finding the girl standing there as he tipped the paperbag next to his hand. The girl smiled, waiting for a sign from the owner of the room.
"Look Ka" said Ragil after putting Nuri's dinner plate on the nightstand next to the bed. He walked closer to the girl.
Azka nodded, smiling before turning around and closing the door slowly. He stood in front of the closed door. Not intending to get close, as Ragil is seen walking towards her.
"Lo dateng Ka?"
"I told you I want to look at Aunt Nuri" said Azka while looking at Nuri. He smiled as the woman who was the same age as his mother smiled at him.
"Let's go there" asked Ragil to lead Azka to the bed.
"How are you Auntie? Is it okay now?" Azka asked after she sat down in the chair next to the bed.
"Alhamdulillah Azka. Azka's in Jakarta now?" aunt Nuri's voice sounded weak in Azka's ears.
"For a few months Auntie, has aunty eaten?" Azka glanced at the plate that had been held by Ragil when he came.
"So more eating, but Aunt is full"
"But I don't think Aunt has eaten much yet? Want to eat Azka?" ask Azka gently. His hands were endlessly giving a smooth sweep to the skin of the palm that had started not tight. The small nod of Nuri made a smile rise back on Azka's pretty face. He immediately grabbed the plate on the nightstand. Continuing Ragil's pending work.
"Azka's permission from her husband?"
"Udah Aunty" Azka replied smilingly
Azka continued to feed Nuri, until the food on the plate was exhausted. Ragil smiled watching the interaction of the two women from the chair near the door. Azka placed the plate on the nightstand and took a glass of water to give to Nuri.
"Drink aunty first"
"Thank you Ka"
Ragil got up from his chair, approaching the two women who had just fascinated him a little.
"Mom, Ragil let's go out for a while with Azka, huh?"
"Lho's? Where you going?" ask Nuri to the youngest child.
"Just a minute, Mom. Someone wants to talk to Azka. Ragil came out for a while, Mom" said the young man, showering Nuri's face with a kiss on every inch of her face. "Ragil dear Mother" he added.
"Azka said a minute, ma'am. Later Azka here again" said Azka kissed the back of the hand of the woman he had hoped to be his father-in-law.
Azka and Ragil walked hand in hand, away from the ward until their shadows were lost in the door that was thumping shut.
"So where are you going to start?" ask Ragil to relax. They were in the hospital canteen. Take a chair by the window that directly exposes them to the view of Jakarta. The cafeteria was empty, only a few tables were filled. It is not full either.
"Emm" Azka confirmed her sitting position. "I'm sorry if I'm impressed by KEPO ya Gil" Azka said.
"So, yesterday went back there because you want to bring Aunt Nuri here?"
"Emmm" Ragil just muttered.
"Why can aunty drop like Gil?"
"Gue to the house is not really for that. There's something I need to take care of"
"About?"
"Hhh, something" Ragil had a small laugh that was more like an oddity before saying it.
"I'm KEPO. Can't you?" Azka.
"Hahahaha" Ragil laughed. "Lo's wriggling like that I can't believe that Lo's not a girl anymore"
Plaque!
"Don't say anything!" said Azka after giving a tabokan on Ragil's arm.
"Haha. Okay because I'm a real man, according to yesterday's talk. You can do anything with me"
A smile rose again on Azka's face.
"You, close medsos account what? Want to fast medsos?" tanya Azka started her question and answer session.
"Gue again needs to be alone" Ragil replied briefly.
"Mmmm" Azka weighed her thoughts. Choose what other questions to ask. "I really liked to open your Instagram yesterday. You are upset" said Azka more like a monologue. His voice was weaker than before. He was a little afraid if Ragil thought that he was like a stalker.
"Yes. I'm really excited about Ka" he said. Her view glazed. It was as if he was seeing something far and unattainable. "Lo want to hear my story?" Azka simply nodded to answer.
"Gue forced marriage"
"HUH???" the response that Azka had never planned came out just like that. He was really surprised by the prologue of the story that Ragil meant.
"Lo inget Marsha right?" Once again Azka nodded. I don't know how many times he nodded to respond to the young man before him.
---
"believe. I believe" said Marsha equally gasping.
"Lo won't sue me for anything?"
"Because forever we will be with Gil" Ragil smiled, more like a grin. He could no longer hold tightness in the lower part of his body. And the next second, the dimly lit room witnessed how they both snatched away the favor from the peak of nirvana. A pleasure that they should not be taking at this time.

"Gill! First, explain me!" Marsha ran barefoot, chasing after Ragil who had already burned the flames of jealousy. His jealousy had even been consumed by anger. Leaving tense gurgles on his stern face.
"Bren! what other explanation would you like to give to me? Huh uh?" Ragil away from Marsha. He could no longer contain his anger. He needs something to hit.
"I can tell you that I don't have anything with Reno!" Marsha half-screamed for her voice to reach Ragil's ears.
"Sat!!!" Ragil spewed an oath, He walked up to Marsha with a haphazard step "Nothing Lo said? What kind of relationship can make Lo almost have***ng in front of that guy Sha!!!" Ragil's voice shrieked, making Marsha's ears pengang instantaneously.
"I—I don't do anything! Ragil plis believes in me. I just give you everything the same as you"
"Curtain! Again you say that, I ripped Lo's mouth off! I'm leaving. Lo, have fun with them"
"Rraggl! Gil! RAGIL!!!" Marsha continued to shout at Ragil's name even though the young man had been swallowed by the darkness of the night. Marsha decays to the ground. Putting some of his body together on an empty street. He wept, lamenting his foolishness that could not hide everything. And now, Ragil left her. After crying in the streets, he returned to the house. The place where her and Reno's activities had been delayed.
*
"Gil, we broke up" Marsha said as Ragil approached her after a week of throwing her away. Ragil is shocked, he has just been intent on mending his relationship with Marsha. He gathered a shred of his trust, drowning his prestige deeply only to stand in front of the girl. Yep. The girl who is no longer a girl.
"Lo mean what Sha?"
"We? It's finished!" marsha said in a sharp tone.
"But I just want to go back to Lo. We can finish this all right"
"There's no good word for our relationship Gil. I want us to break up. I'm the same Lo. You are not cool! I don't like to be seen"
"Shit!! Mean Lo?"
"Gue is more fun with Reno than Lo Gil. Lo pretentious, whereas bren***k too" After saying that, Marsha left Ragil just like that. He slapped Ragil on the cheek slowly before saying goodbye and leaving.
*
"Rraggl! Go home now" Nuri's voice that sounded vibrating from across the phone made Ragil sculpt. It seemed to be pulled into the age of him still a child. Nuri likes to say that sentence when she stubbornly refused to go home and chose to play rain by using only boxers.
"Why Ma'am? Ragil's coming home tomorrow. Ragil ask permission first" Ragil replied in a puzzled expression.
The next day Ragil forced himself home. Leaving the actual job has reached its deadline this week. But the request of Nuri, his mother, can never be rejected by the young man who is currently turning 26 years old. Ragil arrived in front of his house. His house looks crowded. Not usually the house is so crowded unless there is a family event or moments like Lebaran. Ragil anxiously stepped near the door of the house.
"Ragil, come in Nak" asked his father when Ragil showed him the trunk of his nose in the doorway. Ragil spread his gaze throughout the room. Foreign faces filled his eyes. Until his dark netra catches a shadow that is very familiar to him. Marshas. Marsha is there. What is that woman among those people for? And he got the answer when straightforwardly a middle-aged man spoke their meaning.
"We hold Nak Ragil accountable to Nak Marsha. Marry Marsha Nak"
"Why should I? I know Marsha has a boyfriend" Ragil said in a calm tone as usual.
"Son Marsha said that the only one responsible was Nak Ragil. Because she loves Nak Ragil so much, and is willing to do things-Ehm, a little out of bounds just with Nak Ragil" Nuri has hidden her face behind the husband's arms. Ragil got up, his brain boiling after hearing that remark.
"lik! Marsha doesn't do anything to me! He deals more with the men in the club! I am not the one who has to take responsibility! We were separated for seven years. And you just came by now? Where have you been all this time?" Ragil took his breath for a while, "And Lo Sha, how many men have managed to stay up for seven years?
Plaque!!!
Loud slap on Ragil's cheek. His skin was heating up, fingerprints imprinted there, illustrating just how powerful the slap was. It wasn't Marsha, nor was it the old man that the girl had brought along. It was Nuri. The woman who gave birth to him.
"Ragil's Responsibility. I never taught you not to take responsibility for what you do"
---
"Gill?" call Azka lirih. He shifted his body towards Ragil. He saw that the face was full of sweat. His face water is stiffening. Anger was clearly imprinted on that face. Azka got no response. It seems Ragil is still a little shaken by the story he tells. Azka held the arms of the young man next to her, streaming a warm sensation on the skin of the young man who had not yet fully realized from his daydream. When the warmth had spread throughout his body, then he turned to the girl who was holding his hand with a fear expression mixed with worry.
"You okay? Sorry you have to suffer from it all" Azka said with great regret.
"Gue's fine" Ragil squeezed Azka's hand. Azka made a realization and immediately threw her hand away.
"Eh-sorry" he said when he realized his movements were too rough. Ragil smiled faintly.
"Nothing Ka"
"So, are you going to marry Marsha?"
"Where else would you be? All for Mom's sake" said Ragil weakly.
"There's no way to do that? If you know she's a bad girl, I'm sorry. You should have defended yourself Gil. Explain everything to your family. You didn't say it—" Azka closed her eyes, unable to continue her sentence.
"Unfortunately I'm not saying it's Ka"
Tests.
One grain of clear liquid dripped just like that.
