Safaries

Safara 1

" We'll just split up, ma'am."

The words came back to my ears. The words that come out of my mouth are like a bomb that will destroy myself.

How not? I still love Virhan, but I demand a divorce from him.

Eight years I survived to defend our household, it was time I gave up giving Virhan's full time to his mother.

It is not without reason that I chose to withdraw from our holy ark.

Eight years of domestic relations with Virhan, living with my mother-in-law, made me tired and had to give up.

Eight years with Virhan without children make me always in low regard mother-in-law and brother Virhan.

Seringnya mama mertua mengatai aku mandul.

My heart is tired and it is time for me to be free.

From a distance the figure I daydreamed walked towards me, grasping a single red rose like the beginning met eight years ago.

After two days of not meeting him, my heart became a dag dig dug. Her good looks make my lips curl attracting a smile.

" Make the princess "mas Virhan give me flowers.

" Thank you." Sahutku while receiving roses given by Virhan mas.

" Sit down. Already eaten? What do you want to order?"

Instead of answering, Virhan grabbed my hand.

Luckily, it was just the two of us. Papa's legacy cafe that I can save, before all papa's property is taken over.

" Lost the cooking of your hands."

Virhan's confession is like an oasis in the badlands to me.

" Gombal.." I said embarrassedly.

Despite eight years together, I'm still ashamed that Virhan praised me.

" We're going home! You have been in this cafe for two days. I hope two days are enough for you to calm down and calm your mind."

" I'll never go home, ma'am. I'll stay here." I said heartily.

" I. I decided to keep parting with you, mas." Say it again with great difficulty.

Virhan frowned, as if he could not believe my decision. He was still silent not responding to my words at all.

" My resolve is round, my mother." I chuckle to myself. Chose to laugh even if there is no joke at all in every word that comes out of my mouth.

" How am I without you, Safarah?"

" You'll be fine, ma'am."

" What is a good Safarah?" The voice of Virhan is rising.

I looked at my beloved man's face.

his face is like a tangled thread.

" We fix everything from zero, Safarah." Pinta mas Virhan's.

" Can't mas. I'll leave you completely to mama." I said softly.

" Mama?"

" Yes.mama. Mama has prepared a better wife than me. Surely that can give you offspring, mas. And.mama's own choice." Sickly say.

" Do you not like your mom?" Virhan's voice was high when I offended my mother.

" Mama who never liked me. Eight years old, my mother always waved the war flag to me. You won't understand how I feel about our eight-year marriage."

" I can't believe Mom hates you. Don't think bad about mom." Virhan took my hand off. His face was red with anger.

But my patience defense ran out when my mom asked me for permission to marry you to the woman of her choice. I can't live in the mute, mama."

" At least come home with me, Safarah. We climb the steep mountain together." Virhan's body began to soften. Is he starting to be touched to hear the story of my life that is actually a lot unknown to him. Or.mas Virhan pretended not to know for the sake of his devotion to mama?

" I'm not going home."

" Look into my eyes, tell me you don't love me." Pinta mas Virhan with her hands reaching for my face.

In order to convince Virhan, I followed his request. I looked at those two beautiful eyes, "I don't love you anymore mas."

Damnit damnit! Even though I tried to toughen up, in fact my voice still trembled. My netra is dewy, until my vision becomes blurry.

Yep. I wept. I bow my head. I let the drops of water pool in my face. I was so excited that Virhan pulled me into his arms.

" Still calm!" Virhan said as his hands patted my back.

Long enough I was placated by Virhan mas until, "if not ready to go home, stay here until you feel ready to go home. Don't ever demand a divorce from me, because it's not that easy to turn to another heart."

Mas Virhan kissed my forehead as our farewell today.

" Keep your health." The message before leaving.

I nodded, waving to my handsome lover who was about to return home to his mother's virginity.

***

After the death of Virhan mas, I re-thought, where to take our household? Should it end up in court? Things that never crossed my mind.

I thought that because Virhan was my first love, our marriage would last until my grandparents. In fact, it was just a sewindu, the ship I was riding almost shipwrecked in the waves in the ocean.

" She.I love you!" I murmured in silence.

After the shower, I decided to be alone in the room. I let the cafe stay open, because there's Nadia, the worker I trust to run this cafe. Nadia was deft enough that I didn't feel worried about taking her off alone.

The tring!

One video was sent by Virhan.

" What video?" My mind is busy wondering.

Duarr!!

Lightning struck the body.

My eyes widened when I saw the contents of Virhan's video.

Mas Virhan, mom and a woman with a wide headscarf covered half of her body.

" Who is he? What is your mother's choice?"

I'm guessing by myself. Looking for my own answers to my questions.

Hearing mama talk to the woman, there was a sense of sadness in my heart. How not to be sad, throughout our marriage, mom always acted cold to me. While now, when with the woman, mama was more impressed warm. Did you meet the right daughter-in-law?

(His name is Fatimah, the mother's choice. Come home with me, we build a much better household than yesterday. We face both the hardness of my mother's heart.)

Virhan sent a short message.

Again I became a crybaby because of Virhan mas. Should I go home? Back to that house? Am I capable of breaking my mother's heart?

I typed a message for Virhan mas (have fun yes, mas.)

Press the send button.

I turned off my phone. Let Virhan mas enjoy his dinner with mama and mama's chosen woman.

The clock on the wall already showed at eleven o'clock. My eyes are awake. The shadow of Virhan mas still playing around in my eyes.

What are you doing Virhan now? Is he happy tonight? Or.he had even fallen in love with the woman of his mother's choice.
