Reunion After

Wejangan (Season 2)

Pov: Banon

I slept earlier tonight. My eyes are tired all day just crying. I let him, my husband woke up alone. I was still unable to accept it, even though she became my guardian angel of peerless shame.

I chose to sleep behind her while saying sorry in my heart. In the middle of the night, I woke up and saw he was not next to me. Apparently, he slept on the floor. Oh my God, what is he doing? Why sleep on the floor?

I dared to wake him up. "Why sleep downstairs?"

He replied, "I'm afraid to get out of control and cross the line you've set up."

"Are you angry?"

He didn't answer me. I shook her body, and she chose to get up and sit opposite me.

"Who are you talking to? I am your husband, please respect a little, call me by name if you cannot call me by the word mas. Go back to sleep, don't think about my feelings. What matters is that you're happy, that's enough for me."

I feel so guilty about him. Oh God, forgive Banun. I should have vented my anger at that brash guy, not at him. Now, how should I? Should I ask him to get into bed?

He's going back to sleep. I clucked and was angry at his attitude. I went back to bed hoping he would follow me. Apparently not. I think he's a guy who's going to be romantic, go after his partner and then follow my wishes. It turned out that he was also the same as the other man, letting me be annoyed at not obeying my will.

I feel sorry for him. I'm afraid if she gets sick later, catch a cold. I saw again that he was closed back. Never mind, let it go. Until the dawn of the day was heard. I saw him getting ready to wear a holster.

"Why not wake me up ..., Mas?" I'm looking for my hair tie.

"I saw you too tired, so I let you sleep for a little while longer. I went to mushola first. Assalamu'alaikum," she told me. His call has changed for me. I really hurt her heart.

I hurried to pick up ablution, and almost collided with Zaki. My sister is a lot of polah.

"Lhoh, is it wudhu anyway, Ma'am? Not a big shower first?"

Astaghfirullah, this boy! It's so reckless. Why would he know until then? Fuck up!

"That's not what it is yet, huh? Well, you refuse Gusti, huh? Your sins are cursed with your angels."

I didn't listen to his chatter. I entered the room again after ablution. I helped my mom clean the house. I was asked how the night we both slept in one bed?

I answered honestly, nothing happened because indeed Gusti understood my situation. Mom gave me advice. So that I would open my heart to her and give Rizal a hug.

Well, please don't mention his name. My heart aches when I remember what happened yesterday. I will never forget it in my life. I assure you, that man will I regret making us all ashamed.

"Let it, serve your husband coffee or tea. Serve him like a husband. If you can't give your heart to her yet, at least respect her status. Understand, Nduk?" Mom asked me not to hold the dishwasher. I nodded and immediately served him coffee.

He came back, I gave him that coffee. Mas Gusti thanked me.

"Ehm ..., what do you want for breakfast? Mas?" I asked, trying to apply mother's advice.

"There is only. Eggs are just soy sauce if it's made from your hands and I eat kok, Dek." His call changed again, was he not angry with me?

I don't know, I didn't dare ask him. I immediately prepared what he asked for. I almost collided with him when I was about to bring my cooking, passing him who was about to go to the bathroom.

"You want to take a shower? Wearing warm water?" I tried to offer him.

"No, I used to take a cold shower, really."

I just nodded. My father called me, asking me to prepare my husband's clothes.

"Excite, sir."

I went into the room and prepared the uniform. I looked at that name. Wrestling. A name that I'm familiar with from one day ago. Her decision to marry me made me feel indebted to her, for saving me and my family from prolonged embarrassment.

I was a little surprised when I heard the door shut. I looked up and saw it was fresh after the shower.

"Here are you preparing, Deck?" tanyakanya. I'm nodding. "Thank you, baby."

I heard the call from him. How much love is there for me? And to this day, I don't know why I love me. God, I feel more guilty for him.

"It's special made by Dek Banun for Gusti, sir. Results from his own hands. Made with care, affection, and love." His eyes are pointing at me.

I coughed at his words in front of my father. A little lebay in my opinion. But why is everyone happy?

Before he left, the mother advised to go home on time because there would be a partial thanksgiving. This thanksgiving is usually done by people who have been married and the age of marriage reaches the strait.

Gusti kept up with mother's request. He came home on time. The salutation event was digelas after maghrib. Mom asked me to drop off some food for the maternity home and Widya's mom.

I went with him on a motorcycle. No conversation has taken place.

"Mbak Banun ..," cried my coworkers. They miss my presence. I immediately went to Widya's house because she did not practice today.

I was greeted by a warm hug by my mother. He walked into the house and talked for a while. I told her about my day.

"Nun, I know you're hurt. It is hard to forget the people we love. But, how nice of you to bury your memories with Rizal. You are your own love. While this one? Always giving her love to you. And I hope, you also return her sincere love."

I just nodded and thanked him for being my story friend. "Mom, what should I do if Gusti's mas sleeps downstairs again?"

"Yes prevented to, Nduk. Take her to bed with you. If you want to be treated with him, that's his right as a husband. He has also fulfilled his duty, to? Giving you a living was born in the form of dowry yesterday."

I'm nodding. I told him because it was night. When I was about to get out, I heard him being scolded by Mr. Tompi.

"You're a little grown man, Gus. You also know your wife's situation. His heart was broken, it took time for him to heal. The matter of sleeping restricted bolsters only you are angry. I don't agree that you sleep apart like that. Do you want your sins recorded by an angel out of anger at your woman? That woman is loved, Gus. Don't get angry about something trivial. Sleep with him!"

I became unwell and pity him for being sprayed by Mr. Tompi. We went home, on the way he asked me, what do you want?

"About indojuli, Mas."

He's nodding. We rushed down, I asked him what to buy?

"The only choice, must be to eat, oh yes, buy for mom, dad, and also Zaki," he said.

I took some snacks and chocolates. Then to the cashier. After the shopping was over we went back home. He took the blanket from my closet.

"Mas ...," call me.

"Yes?" He looked at me.

"Don't sleep on the floor. Sleep next to me."

I wait for his attitude in making decisions. Will he sleep downstairs?

"I'll report to Mr. Tompi that you're sleeping downstairs again." I forced him to sleep in one bed with me, using Tompi's excuse to make him want to.

"Relatedly? If I cross the line how? I'm a normal guy, seeing you not wearing a hijab has made my passion turbulent, what if I can't control myself?"

I remember Widya's advice, but I'm ashamed to say it. How'this? Ah, come on, just try saying it.

"That's your right, please." My heart rumbled when I said it. Banun, are you sure of what you said?

"Okay," he answered and went up to the bed. "Just calm down, sleep well. Oh yes, tomorrow Mas holiday, take Mas to the place of Mr. Modin to ask for a marriage certificate."

We both slept on our backs. I'm nodding. He looked towards me.

"Tomorrow to move to Mas' house, would you like to?" tanyakanya.

"To your father's and mother's house means, Mom?"

"No, Honey. To our house. Wants, right?" He explained to me his own house. I thought for a moment, then nodded.

Aki's his wife, and he's entitled to me. Tonight is the same as the night before. Mas Gusti kept his promise to me not to touch me, unless my heart was really ready for him.

Thank you, Mas. I want to understand my situation.
