Reunion After

Reunion After
Shower Together



Pov: Vest


One week after Gandi came home from the hospital, I was only communicating via cell phone. No more visiting Widya's house. Both introspection and contemplation, what will we be like in the future? I have feelings too, and I don't want him to hurt me anymore.


My days are still the same as before. Every afternoon I meet Widya at home because my mama's wounds are still a little open. Of course there was no communication with him. Sometimes I try to avoid it, but I always see him.


That afternoon I came home early. I checked my room and there was a woman. I see there's still a little hole in my lips.


"When did it close, anyway?" aska I want to know.


"Why? Can't stand to see me?" Widya's day is bad. Was he offended by what I said at the hospital?


"Who do I say I don't want to see you again?"


Widya and mama looked at me. I immediately turned around and left my room. I choose to water the plants behind the house. Unfortunately, some have died of dryness due to lack of water. Widya who had finished her wound treatment approached me.


At first, I just followed my steps. Ask me to talk and ask if I have eaten or not. I refused to establish any more communication with him. I was determined to move on from him.


Hah, I was also astonished by myself. Why am I so hard to move on from him? Widya's movement surprised me. Suddenly he took a hose from me and threw water on my shirt.


"Guid!" I protested because the shirt I was wearing was wet.


He even mocked me. He stuck out his tongue and sprayed water again. I shake my waist and smile. Whatisthis? He wants to play with me? A game that I think is only suitable for children? But I enjoyed it. He bombarded me with water spray. Until my clothes got soaked.


"Widya, stop! Look out for you!"


I tried to grab that water hose and it worked. He started to get scared and started screaming. I sprayed all his body from the hijab to the jeans skirt he wore. There's no shelter. He was hiding behind my body. I turned around and I sprayed it again with water.


"Stop, Mom. It's cold!" the door was for me to stop my actions. He's still trying to avoid the water spray from me.


I don't care, I still spray it with water. Once I'm satisfied, I stop my actions. We both laughed. I took off the water hose and approached her.


I don't care anymore about the world against us. I assume he gave me a signal to re-establish this relationship again. His temptation was able to melt my hatred easily. For the umpteenth time, I fell in love with a woman named Widya.


I held her cheek and then I kissed her on her forehead. I can't believe I got a reply. My body was hugged tightly.


"I miss you, Mom." His embrace is getting tighter. I also returned it.


"You started it yourself, huh? Don't ask to break up again. Hopefully this is our chance to get my blessing, Yang."


She laughed, "Cie ..., no longer angry, huh?"


I smiled too, so easily he wiped my anger. I desperately sold expensive, uh, melted down easily by him.


"Mas, cold."


I refused to take off my arms, the more I stretched.


"I can catch a cold later, Mom." Widya is still protesting.


I finally let go. He was confused on how to get home. His own fault teased me.


"Borrow Tisha's clothes." I'll find my phone soon. I asked Rania to take her clothes home.


"Aunty, why is her shirt wet?" rania asked when she saw Widya soaking wet.


Before he answered, I had a voice. "Same aunt Om just played water together!"


"Huh? Water play? Whereabouts? Bathroom?" ask the teenager. I knew what he was thinking until the boy shuddered in horror. Widya scolded me for talking carelessly to Rania.


"Change clothes in the room there," I always while drying my hair.


I checked my phone again.


My brother: Hey! Jerky boy! Are you the same as Rania? My son's mind is traveling, Tompi!


I'm interested: But, do you really shower together?


I laughed reading that message. As expected, Rania must be overthinking. Who said we took a shower together? I'm just saying, play water together. But, yes, let them think so.


Me: Yeah, we took a shower together. Adult love is like this, brother!


My brother: Big boy! If there is any more disgrace, you will not help! The clothes Widya wears do not need to be returned. Just opened the seal. Consider it a gift from Brother. But, you really are back?


Me : Having a bath together means reciprocate, to!


In-laws: Astogee, I hope you're just taking a shower, nothing more!


Back I was spinning because Tisha's sister was following the overthinking. Widya asked what made me happy. He read the message and scolded me. Immediately I pulled his waist so that now he sat on my lap.


"Wait about six months, I'll come propose to you. And at that time, I had resigned from my current position," I said confidently.


Widya disagrees. "But, Mom, that job is the thing you love."


I shook my head, "The things I love the most in this world are you and Gandi. Please don't stop my efforts. Instead, support your future husband completely."


We looked at each other, I said through my eyes, I love you, Widya.


He sighed. "Yes, it's up to you. What do you want to do?"


"I've started a bodyguard and escort service business. This month want to buy land, later I want to make a soft gun water rides. Not by yourself, same friends. Trust me, respect my efforts by supporting me, okay?"


He's nodding. A voice called Widya's name. We immediately headed to Mamah's room. I followed him from behind.


"What's up, Auntie?" ask Widya.


"Aunty is hungry" replied Mamah.


"What do you want to eat? I'll get some fruit, will I?"


Very sad this woman. I sat down next to Mamah, then I started to emit my axes.


"Mama is old. Don't you want to have a ghost who can take care of Mamah, who is as painstaking as Widya?" my many.


"Pengen, try to find." Mom pointed at the melon for her to eat.


"Vests if you tell them to look, there's no time, Mah. What about in front of Mom?" ask me with fear if you refuse again.


The mood was quiet and gripping. Just the sound of a wall clock. The thing I just said was really in my control quarter. It's just, I know this is an opportunity. I hope this time the opportunity is on my side.


"You mean Widya, Tom?" ask Mamah.


I'm nodding. I wish there was an answer I wanted from my mouth.


"You love my son at all? Do you feel like you have a chatty in-law like me? Are you willing to accompany Tompi?" The question was for Widya.


Widya gave the finished melon. "Very in love, Auntie also used to know how I felt. Not chatty, Aunt is too affectionate with Auntie's children, until all must be perfect in the eyes of Aunt. Widya can only be herself, if forced to be like the late wife mas Tompi, or like sister Tisha, I can't."


Widya took a tissue to clean her hand. "One thing I can promise Auntie. I will stand by him until the end. Give whatever's best for your aunt. For love, divided in two. To him and Gandhi."


"Widya can also only give Aunt a devotion. Take care of Aunt as best as possible. All decisions are in Aunty, if Aunty agrees, we'll move on. If not, yes already. Want to flap again?"


This kid wants me to. It's easy to say that no already. Mom has to bless us. Can't not not!


"You bless you," said Mamah, bowed.


Widya and I glanced at each other. We didn't hear wrong, did we? I asked Mama to repeat her words. That's true. We were both moved, both hugged and thanked him.


Widya pamit came home because it was nearing maghrib. I asked him not to go home. Showed me my room.


"Our obstacles are one, my dear. Patience huh? Later if you have passed, do not show the way to your room, I will enter alone" he replied


I chuckled back. "How do I get close to my brother? I'm afraid if I force it there, you're under attack again."


"That's what I'm thinking. Let Gandi try to change the way he thinks first. I'll also ask Han for help."


I don't like it when Widya says the guy's name.


"I'm just asking for help, Yang. Don't doubt me!"


Widya greeted me, just like a wife who was about to say goodbye to her husband.


"OK, careful. Have Gandi stop by here on the way home les. I want to introduce him to Mom, "I asked.


"WA alone, aren't you very close to your future son, Pah?" Widya has started to dare to call me like Gandi. I can't believe his calling for me.


"You did not approach me, but took my son's heart. How can you move on if the story is like that?" protest while wearing a helmet. I'm not just in love with her. I already love Gandi.


I opened the gate, just as he was about to retreat, Task's car blocked his way.


"Woi, Mr. Capolres, the car's going forward. Can't get through here, ah!" How brave are those lips. Ah, the moment of vengeance. If in the past mas Task was angry because Widya's bike was blocking his way, now alternately.


I laughed hearing that. Task blinked several times not believing his words. The task of parking the car backwards.


"Well, that's dong!" Widya's voice slightly rose in intonation. The task is still astonished. Ask me if I'm in a genie or what? Why can it be so fierce?


"Be careful on the road, huh, Mah? Let me know Papah when we get there!" I deliberately called Widya like that, to make the task gawk.
