Afifa was eager to scream .. like a wife who found her husband cheating in front of her, but she was not that low, she endured all her feelings, waiting and waiting until they called her.
30 Minutes passed, Afifa was still in her place, she opened her phone to reduce her anxiety a little, just reply to some chat from her friends.
"Republica..." The voice of a woman's call stopped her finger movements, she turned her head, apparently Wulan was in front of her, "Let's eat first, the order has come, your husband is waiting" he said later, saying, then he walked to his daughter who was playing ball bath.
Afifa got up, walked over to Fauzi who was on the phone with someone, and she was sitting in the chair next to her husband.
"Dear, did you play? let's eat first!" fauzi said casually.
Afifa was just speechless, she felt strange about this situation, why was her husband so relaxed after talking to Wulan? Afifa was getting curious, what exactly
what were they talking about?
"Sister...What was..." Afifa's words stopped because of Wulan's arrival, she came while leading Talita.
"Well, the meal has come, let's eat first baby", Wulan said to her daughter, then Wulan sat right in front of Fauzi, and her daughter sat beside Fauzi. Four dishes of rice, fried chicken krispi sauce and vegetables complete with drinks are available at the round-shaped table.
Afifa looked at Fauzi and Wulan alternately, she was not in thought, their expressions were the same, not the slightest awkwardness, Have they made a deal? think Afifa.
"Talita wants Uncle to get the chicken?" ask Fauzi.
"Yes Uncle" he replied with a smile.
"Don't forget to read Do'a first"
"O yes, Talita almost forgot Uncle" Talita immediately raised his hands and prayed, Fauzi took a piece of chicken and put it on Talita's plate. Wulan smiled seeing him.
Afifa was just silent at the sight before him, there was a strange feeling of money coming to his mind, why did it feel so painful? he turned his gaze towards the plate of rice before him, his eyes flickering, he rubbed his eyes several times to clarify his gaze, why the rice seemed to laugh at him.
Oh my God..What happened to me? afifa Mumm.
He raised his head again, seeing Talita smiling at him.
"Master why be quiet, let's eat, it's delicious lo" said Talita's tiny lips.
Afifa immediately brushed off those strange thoughts, and tried to smile, yes.
Fauzi looked at Afifa, "Sir.eat!" fauzi's hand held Afifa's stiff hand on the table, perhaps she was a little surprised because Afifa's hand was so cold.
But Afifa immediately pulled his hand, uncomfortable also because it was in front of Wulan and Talita.
"O Yes" Afifa replied briefly, then began to include a spoonful of white rice without the side dish.
Fauzi, aware of his wife's anxiety, immediately picked up a side dish for him, eating without a sound, except Talita who is constantly chattering makes it even more adorable and a little comforting Afifa's mood is uncertain.
After finishing eating, Fauzi took Talita for a walk and left Afifa with Wulan at the table, perhaps Fauzi deliberately did so that Wulan could talk directly with Afifa.
Unconsciousness ensued, Afifa just fell silent, squeezing his fingers under the table.
"Republica..." Wulan started his talk.
"Yes." replied Afifa.
"How long have you been married?"
"7 months more" Ma'am"
"Emmm.had known each other well enough"
Afifa was speechless, not understanding the direction Wulan spoke, from her tone she was not asking at all.
"Do you love her so much?" Say Wulan again.
Afifa lifted her head, looked at Wulan, the woman did not look at him at all, her eyes straight up staring at the escalator going up and down before them.
"Of course" replied Afifa, out of nowhere the courage came, her little heart seemed to want to keep hers.
"I used to love him so much, I even loved him like crazy". Wulan said then in a relaxed tone without taking her eyes off, "I will do anything to get it, even though I have to give my honor even though".
"Deg..." Afifa's heart paused for a moment, although she already knew the story from Fauzi, but when she heard it directly from the wulan, it sounded scary.
"Maybe your husband told you that, so you're willing to come to me to apologize on behalf of your husband, right?" ask Wulan.
"real Mbak". Saying Afifa quietly.
"I also had time to look for Fauzi's whereabouts, but I didn't find him, nor did I have the courage to ask him to the school, because my parents were always overprotective of me".
"Sorry Ma'am...If you may know, how is the condition of Mbak Wulan after you never meet again?"
Wulan smiled at Afifa, then his eyes returned blankly to the escalator, "After the incident, very early in the morning My parents came to my boarding house, they were so shocked when they saw his daughter who was asleep without a single piece of clothing attached to my body, my innocent body was only covered with a blanket, my clothes scattered in the room coupled with the smell of alcohol that was gushing there" Wulan let out a long breath.
Afifa still faithfully listened to Wulan's story.
"Looking at my condition, my mother suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the Hospital, and my father took me straight home from the boarding house, and I was not allowed to come back to school, either, even just to take my diploma. For a long time Mom was in the hospital, until I found out she had a chronic heart attack, my dad kept blaming me, and it was getting depressed. My mother spent months in the Hospital until her treatment was taken to Jakarta, 4 months had my mother treated, but God willing others, all our efforts were fruitless, my mother died". Wulan let out his tears, Afifa was more and more eager to see him.
After 6 months I began to realize the physical changes in me, I just realized the sin I had committed, I did not dare to tell anyone including my father, I did not dare to tell him, I did not want to increase the burden of his mind, I took a week off and returned to Bandung intending to find Fauzi, on the grounds of wanting to look at Mother's grave, I got permission from my father, and I was, I leave on the night bus.
When traveling, precisely on the Cipularang toll road, our bus had an accident, because of the negligence of the sleepy driver, when I slammed, my stomach was hit hard on the iron handle of the bus behind the driver, which was behind the driver, I was rushed to the hospital, and it turned out that I had a miscarriage," Wulan's tears flowed back down, looking as though she was desperately trying to continue her story.
Afifa shifted her seat, then held Wulan's hands very cold, Afifa felt very concerned about the sad story that women had experienced before her.
"If Mbak Wulan is no longer able, there is no need to continue Mbak..." Said Afifa while patting Wulan's back.
"It's okay, Afifa, I have to explain everything to you, so that there will be no more misunderstanding".wulan replied while trying to smile and wipe his tears with the tissue he held.
"Alright.but first drink yes!" Afifa gave a glass of water to Wulan.
Wulan took it and drank it in half, "I was devastated when I found out I had lost my fetus, I cried hysterically, however the fetus was the fruit of my love with Fauzi, but now it's all gone, there was no longer any reason for me to look for it, because I also realized that everything we did was a mistake that we did not intentionally, or rather, my mistake was bigger there, because I deliberately teased him by putting sleeping pills into his drink, just because my ego wanted to get his love". Wulan was silent for a moment, and looked at Afifa.
Afifa just bit her lips, not believing in the reckless actions that women do in front of her, just because she wants to get the love of a man.
Wulan took a deep breath again, "At that time, there was a policeman who drove me to the Hospital, maybe he felt sorry for me, because there was no family to contact, he said, at that time my father did not have a cell phone let alone a house phone, For 3 days I was treated, the police always visited me, brought food for me and he told me a lot, his personality was very polite, he was very polite, even always leading me to pray five times, I learned a lot about religion from him. From there I knew that he was a single parent, his wife died in childbirth one year ago, I decided to return to Jakarta, and be escorted by him.
Since then he helped me a lot, to put me into a college in Jakarta, there I majored in designer in accordance with my ideals, after a year we were getting closer, I was brought to his house, he said, introduced to her whole family, from there I met her daughter Talita, she was only 2 years old, she was very sweet and adorable, I started to get close to her, I also loved her like my own daughter, she said, it's as if I'm rediscovering my lost daughter". Wulan started to smile, though,
Afifa was stunned to hear Wulan's story, "So..meaning Ma'am Wulan, Talita is not the son of Mbak Wulan?"
Wulan shook her head with a smile, "She's the daughter of my Husband, we got married 4 years ago, and Talita was the one who made me rise again from my downfall, when my husband also left me one year ago".
"MasyaAlloh Mbak.so complicated the journey of your life.I feel nothing compared to your struggle so far". Afifa's eyes glazed over at the woman before him, this woman was so strong and strong.
"Don't be too amazed by myself Afifa, because in fact, once crossed an evil thought in my head". He still said with his special smile.
"meaning?" ask Afifa wonder.
"After my husband passed away I decided to return to Bandung with the intention of burying my bitter memories in Jakarta, I opened a boutique here, I, with my expertise and capital from my husband's estate I was able to develop my boutique to what it is today.
When you came to my boutique and told me that you were Fauzi's wife, suddenly my dark shadow reappeared, I felt so sick remembering it, she said, my resentment and longing for the male figure in my past has sprung up, I am determined to take it from you by using Talita as my strength. But after I got a message from you that you were willing to let go for me just to get a single word of apology for your husband, from there I thought how much you loved him.
I began to investigate your origins, I deliberately did not contact you or pick up the phone from you before I really knew who you really were. And after What Kiyai called me, I know so much about you, you are a righteous woman who loves her husband sincerely without expecting anything in return from him, far away from me, who madly loves him, who loves him, and who loves him, but to justify every means to have it." Wulan smiled at Afifa, her hands stroking the back of Afifa who was just speechless, only her tears kept flowing.
"Aphifa...You deserve to be happy with him, live quietly, be with your husband to your old age, Fauzi loves you so much, I've forgiven him, and from now on we forget everything".
Afifa looked at Wulan, Wulan embraced her, Afifa cried in Wulan's arms, "Thank you Ma'am." That's all the words that were said from Afifa's lips, Afifa said, he no longer knew what to say to this tough woman before him. Long enough wulan let Afifa cry in his arms until Afifa felt calm.
Afifa let go of her embrace, then looked at Wulan's face, "Mbak Wulan, can I stay close to Talita?"
Wulan smiled, "Of course, she also feels comfortable with you, you can come anytime to see her".
"Thank you Ma'am..."
"O yeah.it's been quite a night". Wulan looked at her wrist, her watch showed at 9:30 p.m., "Fauzi take Talita where are you? in the playground is also not there, usually he has slept at this hour".
"Fifa try calling me Ma'am"
"Yes"
Afifa called Fauzi and he answered immediately, he will come.
Before long Fauzi came to hold Talita who had fallen asleep on her back.
"Yes pardon...Talita to trouble you, Sorry ya Zi" said Wulan.
"It's okay, let's take you to the car, baby" Fauzi turned to Afifa, Afifa nodded.
Wulan immediately paid the bill, and as they descended along the way to the parking lot, Fauzi held Talita and laid her in the back seat of the wulan. Wulan car first left the big mall, of course after various dramas forgave each other from the three.
Afifa was still standing with Fauzi staring at Wulan's red car until she was nowhere to be seen. After the car was completely gone, the two looked at each other, Fauzi grabbed Afifa's hand, both of them smiled, Afifa's eyes began to glaze over, and she looked at each other, the two approached and they embraced accompanied by the sobs of Afifa behind dimly lit night lights that began to quiet.
