Anila bowed lethargicly, in her mind one by one questions arose. The mother of a little princess named Nura Anasa Wijaksana had to accept the fact that her husband had remarried.More or less the marriage took place a year ago, such was the news she had just heard.
His hands clenched firmly, tears welled up in his eyes, his cherry face looking red withstanding emotions. Which wife is fine when hearing of having a honey.
Next to him, Uke was busy receiving the phone, guilt was seen in the sad gaze of the bespectacled man who was then wearing light brown material pants combined with a black plain shirt top. Suppose he was not the one who interceded between Anila and Aunt Heti regarding the shocking reality, of course he would not feel guilty like this. However anything that will be covered sooner or later will open up as well.
“Sorry yes tea,” he said sincerely while grasping Anila's fingers. Hope his sincerity is able to strengthen a friend who is hurt.
Anila exhaled her heavy breath, “Mas Uke said what, precisely Ila thanked, finally after so long there was a bright spot in this matter. However, this is not the reality that Ila wants to face,” he said with a trembling restraining emotion. Then he tried to contact one of his close friends. He should get a definite answer, right now.
This Space Wife tapped her finger on the table of impatient signs, wanting to get her phone received immediately. Twice the call was finally picked up, there was a crisp laugh from the man on the other end of the phone. Whether as if he knew something was wrong, Yuga tried to invite him to chat, ask news and other unimportant things as if buying time.
“Name one female name that is close to Aang!”
Aang calls Anila to Space. Their age difference was only one year but Anila respected him so much by calling Aa Angkasa. Aa designation in Sundanese for older men other than kakang. Because the name of Angkasa is too long he shortened it to Aang as well as being a call of affection from him.
Yuga pretends not to hear Anila's question, and asks her to repeat the question.
“No need to beat around Ga, Ila has repeated the same question three times. We are no longer young. I think you know what I mean.” Anila said sternly without giving her schoolmate a chance to give an answer.
“Alright, no need to be angry. Yuga only knows that Kasa has been close to Dira,” he said slowly but still heard by Anila.
“Thank you,” said Anila immediately turned off her phone, no matter where Yuga still asks for clarity on Anila's question which is quite surprising.
Anila's heart is getting sick. “Dira! Yuga just mention the name without a doubt, how could you A, tarnish our marriage,” various disappointments he let out in the heart.
Anila covered her face with both hands, breaking her heart. Why is God so cruel to give another test, he alone has not been able to solve the test he is facing.
“Ila, are you okay?” Ask anyone who has just entered the office in a hurry. Anila got in her arms. “Sorry,” whispers. As Mas Uke feels guilty, he doesn't know why his distant cousin is the household destroyer of his co-workers.
“I'm fine,” she said as she kicked the best-selling song from the girl group Queen, which consists of Maia Estianty and Pingkan Mambo before being replaced by Mulan Jameela.
He looked at Anila with annoyance.
“You know if you want to be angry yes angry, want to cry yes cry, want to scream ya scream not like this, do not be harbored, sick! So good to use all singing shows. I know what La.” feels like
“Heartbreak, pain Kan. This heart beats very fast from earlier,” said Anila Lirih, two men in the room can feel the disappointment of an Anila.
“I want to go home, pity Nura at home alone,” saying goodbye. With her forced steps out of the two-story shophouse, she works in the wedding decoration office.
Night has arrived, the sky looks dark yet no stars appear, the moon is still covered with clouds. Anila was still greeting Mr. Roni, the complex security guard with his sweet smile. Mas Uke and Kankan also followed Anila from afar they were afraid of things that were not desirable, even though the area where Anila lived was safe.
This woman was silent at the crossroad to her home. His face looked up at the sky, long enough it was done Anila, then he continued his steps towards the house, already impatient to see his little angel. Uke and Kankan watched Ila into the whitewashed house, both staring at each other and feeling Anila's sadness.
Fortunately Anila, her brother who lives together is in the room. He was lazy if he had to be interrogated because at this time he certainly could not cover the look of his disappointed face. He climbed the stairs to the second floor, in front of the room he tried to gymnastics face and change his face to look cheerful, afraid that Nura had not slept.
Looks like luck is still loyal to Anila, though,. Nura was already asleep, entering in her dreamland. The petite and innocent face of the little angel shed its defenses, breaking apart already the cries that had been held back since. He closed his mouth, crying without a sound, he came out of the room immediately ablaze, in order to muffle his cries. After purifying herself, she went back into the room and locked her up.
Closing his eyes he took the scriptures hugging him and uttered his istigfar non-stop. Tears soaked his face, his lips trembled as he continued to recite dhikr. In his brain one by one the happy memories of togetherness came like a puzzle.
