HAPPY READING'S...⚘⚘⚘
Early in the morning, as usual Afifa always struggled with her kitchen work. All the food was served at the table. Fauzi came out of the room towards the dining table, he was already neat with his work clothes.
"Breakfast first!" afifa said, taking two plates and putting them on the table.
"Yes", replied Fauzi briefly.
The two ate the food in front of him without sound and seemed to have no taste, the food on their plates was slightly reduced, but not to the end, for some reason, Afifa felt that the food was tasteless and difficult to swallow, it always feels stuck in the esophagus, even though he uses the same seasoning as he usually cooks, he also always encourages it by drinking water in each mouthful so that the food is immediately swallowed. Ah... it is very difficult to eat like this, finally Afifa gave up and stopped her eating activities that are still half left.
Apparently Fauzi was not much different from him, the food was still left, although not as much as Afifa, Fauzi took water to drink and tissue to wipe his lips, he said, then stand carrying his plate towards the backyard and sprinkle the rest of his food on the fish color there, making the fish emit a sound "Cup cup cup" from his mouth because scrambling food.
Afifa only watched her husband's movements behind the windowpanes. She soon stood up, tidied the dinner table and followed her husband, bringing his own plate to the backyard. Afifa sprinkled the rest of her food into the pond, while her eyes looked at the fish, feeling that someone was staring at her, she raised her face, and it was true that her husband was staring fixedly at her, but when their eyes met, Fauzi immediately turned his gaze, and walked back inside the house.
Afifa just fell silent while looking at her husband's passing back, then she realized with the sound of the mouth of the goldfish that was still fighting for food, her gaze back towards the fish, for a moment thinking, "How happy you are to be together and share in one house, even though you have to fight for food, but you do not hurt each other" he murmured. Then she returned to her feet to the house, about to wash the dishes from her and her husband's food. However, again Afifa was surprised, the dishes used by her husband was clean and neatly stored on the shelf. Afifa was only washing one dish.
After everything was done, Afifa walked to the room to pick up her bag, then came back out complete with a uniform, jacket and motorcycle key in her hand. At first glance Afifa saw her husband in the living room while playing his cellphone, he approached her. "Sister.., today Fifa went home from school to Umi's house first", Afifa's permission.
Fauzi turned a glance then nodded, and looked back at the screen. "If you want to rest first, you can stay longer at Umi's house" said Fauzi while still looking at the phone screen in front of him.
At once Afifa who was about to step her legs jerked and fell silent, not believing the words she had just heard.with a face still bowed looking straight at her feet, she looked straight at him, both of her hands clenched beside her service skirt she endured the pain and vexation. His speech was subtle, but meant expulsion for him. She lifted her head, looking at her husband with a look of wonder and anger.
"What does that mean...Doesn't Aji need me here anymore?" afifa asked softly but firmly, she still did not move from where she stood.
Fauzi hung up his phone, stood up and put both his hands in his pants pocket. "If you want" he said as he pleased, then stepped into his room, grabbed the car keys and was about to get out the door.
"Wait...!" snapped Afifa. "Have I not sacrificed enough all this time to maintain the integrity of our household? aren't you the one who asked me to hang with you? then now?"
"Have...!enough...!" Fauzi snapped, causing Afifa to stare even more intently at him. "you see? how much you sacrificed for me, and I sacrificed for you, but in fact we still can not live happily.it seems we are not destined to be together...", fauzi said as he passed out of the house leaving Afifa who was still standing in his place.
After Fauzi's death, Afifa's body fell into the floor, she sobbed in tears remembering what her husband had just done. "Heh.It's easy for you to say that, brother..." Afifa revealed her cynical smile behind the tears. "Afifa...Where is your pride? why do you keep hanging out with people who can't keep you? the one who does not appreciate your sacrifice, does not deserve to be defended at all.
Afifa immediately wiped away her rough tears with both hands, "I still have parents who will always accept me whenever I want, I assure you, you're going to take back all your words", he murmured. Then he stood up and stepped into his room, took a big bag and put in some of the clothes and uniforms he used to teach, not to forget he brought with him leptops and books of teaching materials, the key to his motorbike he threw just about anything on the bed.
Not thinking much more, Afifa immediately brought her bag to the gate that was open, then waved her hand to stop the green-colored cargo passing in front of her house. The freight stopped, Afifa immediately entered and sat on the back of the corner. with his eyes fixed on him, maybe they were surprised to see a woman carrying a large bag with special puffy eyes had finished crying. Perfect is now suffering, her heart really hurt because it seemed to have been driven subtly from her husband's house. Afifa immediately covered her face with a veil dangling from her chest? so that his misfortunes are a little covered from the view of the people.
Throughout the journey Afifa was silent, if only he had not been ashamed of the presence of those around him, he might have wept shedding all his anxiety and emotions at this time. Fortunately, Angkot immediately stopped at the intersection of the path to Umi's house, Afifa went down and switched to another angkot that headed toward the path of Umi's house.
Just 10 minutes in the second angkot, Afifa asked the driver to stop after preparing his face as normal as possible in front of his parents. Right in front of Umi's house, he came down after giving the fare to the conductor.
At home there is only Umi, Abi is in the rice field, while Nisa and Rizki have left for school.
Afifa said a greeting, but because there was no answer and the door was not locked, he finally entered the house. "Same...! Ai...!" call Afifa. He immediately looked at Umi's room, it turned out that Umi was lying down while closing her eyes. Afifa smiled to see her beloved woman asleep with the prayer beads still faithful in her grasp, she immediately hid her big bag in Nisa's room, then returned to Umi's room and sat at the bedside, he grabbed Umi's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Umi woke up and narrowed her eyes, to clarify her vision. Umi was quite shocked when her consciousness was completely perfect, "Steak?" He said while trying to get up and sit himself on the bed. "When's it coming?" ask again.
"Just now, Mi! How's umi? did you eat?" ask her while smiling.
"Maybe the effect of the drug too, Mi!"
"Looks like that, the inn is sleepy, Tea!".
"Yes, Umi continued to sleep again, Fifa also wanted to go to school".
"Oh..., Umi thought you'd like to go to Umi, Tea?" Umi was a bit disappointed.
"You want that, Mi! but...Fifa is not yet licensed, there are still many tasks that must be done by Fifa also to prepare for testing next week, Umi do not worry, Fifa school came back here again, want to nginep instead", Afifa said with a smile towards the woman she loved so much.
"really?" asked Umi with a big smile. Afifa nodded and could not be separated from her smile to convince Umi. "But..have you permission to be with your husband?" ask Umi again.
Afifa paused for a moment, then smiled again, "Umi calmed Aja, Kak Aji must have allowed kok, Umi is sick again", he said, with a somewhat forced smile, he took a deep breath as he felt guilty for being dishonest with his beloved Woman.
"Thank God.., Umi was very happy to hear Teteh want to stay here after so long". Umi smiled as she rubbed Afifa smooth cheeks.
"Yes already, Mi! Fifa to school first!" Afifa grabbed Umi's hand back and kissed her.
"Yes, be careful, son!"
"Assynol",
"Greetings waalaikum".
Afifa stood up and stepped out, again stopping the green questionnaire towards the school.
This time he must be strong, face the bitter reality that is unfolding before him now, let all those sweet and bitter memories be buried as time passes. It was enough to feel the sacrifice he made to fight for the sacred relationship, but if it turns out that the person he fought for no longer wanted it, what should be maintained? For sure now he must steady his pace for the sake of his future, fighting on his own feet, without depending on the compassion of others.
