Second Stopover

Chapter 40

Erwin felt very dizzy at home what else when his wife chatted to and fro, and the rich head wanted to break. After the quarrel Erwin decided to sit on the side of the alley near the highway to his boarding, there was a large tree under which there were several parked motorcycles. That place is none other than the ojek base. The long wooden chair that he currently sits with several people becomes the only backrest when the mind is struggling.

"Bang, ojek bang" three people came carrying groceries. Coincidentally, the location of the ojek base not far from the market is only fifty meters from there. 

"You bring the passengers first, I want to nemenin nih a daunted child" said a man who sat next to Erwin.

"Ready, bang. Rejeki where can be refused anyway, thank you bang Eko " Sahut friend who just came after dropping off passengers. 

"We raked first yes bang Eko" said another friend.

Mr. Eko gave a thumbs up.

Soon all three people with their passengers left. Erwin clenched both palms while looking down at the end of his worn-out flip-flops. 

(There must be another child with the same problem bininya) murmured pak Eko.

"The face is rich in dry clothes, why?" Ask Mr. Eko. Seeing Erwin's face at a glance he already knew something was disturbing Erwin's mind at this time. What else if it wasn't his wife's problem. After Erwin and Icha's marriage their lives drastically changed from what was once a mutual affection now turned boring, there is not the slightest adem that exists every day fighting continuously until Erwin himself can not overcome the nature of Icha.

"Hey...why?" Once again Mr. Eko asked but not an answer that was in the can but just a blank look from Erwin's eyes.

"Do you need money? If yes, I have a little good enough to buy food" want to reach into the pocket of pants but Erwin stopped it.

"No, sir. That's not the problem" 

"Then?"

Erwin seemed to let out a long sigh "Huffff.

"You mean?" 

Mr. Eko held back laughter "Lah, besides you Win already have a perfect bini still cheating. Where the affair is not much better than the legal wife. Want as beautiful as how the affair remains only he is far from the word perfect" 

Pak Eko said there is a point as well. Now if you think where there is a good affair while they work just snatch people's husbands. Even if they are good it is just a mask, then on the other hand he will open the mask and then you know whose face is behind the mask, human or demon.

"At first it was just an exclamation, sir. If it's about love I'm more in love with my first wife. It turned out that I was stuck in my own game" His gaze looked back down while tapping his index finger on the wooden chair he was sitting on.

"If you don't want to burn, never light a fire on dry leaves. I used to be so bro, had a good wife but instead I cheated and finally I myself regretted my whole life. The girl I choose even playing with my own friends, want to be angry I was also that if not angry how bini in the grab people must be angry. But I chose to retreat bro at that time, I consider it as my karma because a lot of pain in my bini." Mr. Eko said while telling his life story that impressed the same with the story of Erwin today.

Erwin was silent thinking about his biggest mistake if only time could be turned back, then he wanted to go back to that time. It was a time when he and his wife were alone.

Mr. Eko patted Erwin's shoulder "Well life is indeed so bro sometimes we have not felt what it means, but after it is lost we realize how valuable he is in our lives" mr. Eko himself had felt like that, he had been married twice but all failed because he missteps. But that was when he was young, if now Mr. Eko decided to live alone without a wife. His first marriage kadas because it is more burdensome affair that is the second wife. However, as time went by the karma prevailed, his second wife had an affair with his close friend and that made him regret having wasted a jewel just for the sake of street gravel. 

"I didn't expect to be rich at first, sir. I thought cheating was beautiful but it was a lie. Infidelity only invites disaster. And after that incident my life was destroyed, work did not exist, in the eviction of parents, so the garbage of society. Anyway not very tasty deh" regrets only remain regrets because everything has happened inevitably have to be lived.

Pat Erwin's shoulders until repeatedly "My advice so that your life is a little calmer, look for him (Rara) apologize to him so that he does not hold a grudge against you that will later complicate your life steps. Believe me, if he sincerely forgives you, your life will be easy. All of these difficulties are most likely karmic parts of your own actions. I've realized that bro so can talk rich gini same you" as his parents more bitter taste of the salty affair, he just wanted the story of Erwin not getting difficult.

"How can I apologize if our access to communication was severed by him and his parents did not tell them where their child was. I've been looking for him for almost three months, but he's nowhere, not even in our house" 

"Home? So you still have a house, ma'am?" Icha was standing behind Erwin.

"Icha?" Erwin immediately turned around and stood up "When have you been here?" 

The face that had been filled with anger turned into a smile "It's true that you still have a house, why don't we just stay there" 

"Oh, there's no house. Whose home" Erwin immediately pulled on his wife's arm dragging her into a small alley.
