The night is getting late. The silence felt gripping.
Everyone should be asleep in their sleep and in their dreams. But not with Seruni.....
The little girl was still faithful with her eyes that were kept awake all night.
His mind flew around. There were no boisterous and rowdy sounds of the passengers on the train, only the sound of the train's movements were heard loud in the middle of the night.
Her body may be getting away from those of her past, but not with her heart. In his heart as if he was sitting many figures laughing at the misfortune of himself who contributed to his destruction.
Tears that had dried up, now returned to pour out profusely as his heart grew bloody due to the deep wounds.
"You have heart, mas. You should be able to take care of yourself. You should have realized I was your wife, and Amel my brother. Why do you hurt me? What's my fault with you, mas? What's?"
The issue is soft with the view leading to the view outside the window of the train.
In fact, Seruni was not aware that he was currently being stared at intensely by a man who held a three-year-old little girl, sitting in front of him in a facing position.
"Mr. Ma'am, is it okay?" Asked the man a baritone voice, showing a concerned tone in his voice.
"Here, I'll have a drink first. Calm your mind."
Seruni looked up at the pair of bright brown-colored beads in front of her, then her gaze turned to the little girl who was sound asleep in the man's lap.
Turning her face away, Seruni wiped her tears with her jacket-clad arm.
"It's okay, ma'am. I am doing well. Sorry if the mas is disturbed by my voice." Seruni lirih replied.
His voice implied deep pain. His eyes were clearly hurt. However, which made the man in front of him amazed, Seruni could still return the man's greeting courteously.
"No problem. Only, if he did not feel strong with the problem of shooting, can not tell me. Although we do not know each other, but I guarantee you can not trust me. I'll be relieved afterwards." Said the man in front of the Seruni.
Seruni saw sincerity in the face of the man before her. Her tears came back down as Runi's head shook his head as he recalled the incident back at the hotel.
Rabbet.
The man who has the status of her husband is really satisfied to be in control of her brother's game.
"I'm Bastian Gunawan. You just call me Tian."
Her words were firm, although Seruni shook her head, a gesture of refusing to tell her the problem.
With hesitation, Seruni stretched out his fingers to reach Tian's fingers.
For a moment, Seruni was glued to the look of this handsome man in front of her.
His eyes flashed sharply, yet dazzling sincerity with no hope of reward. A sharp nose and high cheekbones, showing the charm of the man can not be underestimated.
Lips that are not too wide, but thick and notched tempting, in a sturdy jaw frame that looks special. Her jet black hair, showed how pure sincerity she had.
"Seruni Rose." Answer Seruni later.
"alright. Who should I call you?" Ask the handsome man.
Seruni was stunned for a little while. The name Seruni always reminded her of the people who had a share in the destruction of her life. So Seruni decided to change his nickname to Roses only.
"Roses. Call me the Rose".
"Pretty. Like the man." Said the man.
But not as pretty as the life destiny I went through.
Seruni added which of course only in his words in the heart.
"Where are you going?"
Tian asked back.
"To Surabaya."
Tian just nodded. On the face of the Rose in front of him. Although the body is small, but it cannot be denied, that the Rose is very very beautiful, with the courtesy that belongs to it as a plus.
"Don't be too formal. You can call me bang Tian or sis Tian."
Seruni nodded as a sign of understanding.
"By the way, why were you crying so much?" Ask the guy. There was a high curiosity in Tian's heart. Usually, he never goes over other people's business.
Rose lowered. His eyes returned to tears.
"My husband .... "
Seruni was unable to continue his sentence. He is still devastated by the events that have befallen his household today. He is not ready to remember the painful moments a few hours ago.
Seruni is not strong. Recalling the faces of Raka and her older sister, the two traitors had carved a very deep wound in the Rose's heart.
"Don't tell me you're not ready. I will not give you any information about your problem. Oh yeah,"
Tian then opened his son's bag.
"It's chocolate for you. Chocolate has been shown to be effective in restoring a bad mood for the better."
Tukas the man held out a packet of chocolate bars filled with almond chocolate.
With hesitation, Seruni received a chocolate offering from Tian.
"Thank you." Seruni UCao.
Seruni snatched a box of chocolate, It doesn't feel bad. True, chocolate seems to relieve a little heartache.
Time goes on with the speed of the train. The day has started early. Of course, Seruni could not close his eyes for a moment. The eyes of the young mother-to-be look swollen with her nose reddened.
"Dad."
The little girl who was in the lap of the man in front of her seemed to be writhing. His face was wrinkled because he slept well all night in his father's arms.
"Eenngggh. Yea? Wake up, baby." Tian's voice sounded raucous.
"Well." Wiry of the girl.
"Attent." Tian replied as he gave the little girl a drink.
After drinking, the little girl looked at Seruni with sparkling eyes.
"Mother?" Said the girl.
Seruni was stunned when this girl before him called her mother.
It feels strange but also happy.
"sorry. My son really likes to call young women, whoever it is called mother. Maybe he was still thinking about his mother who died two months ago."
Seruni's breath felt like it was stuck in the throat. In the pain and wounds he felt at this time, it turned out that there was also a little girl who also felt the pain of leaving her mother.
"Me-died?" Cicit Seruni's.
"Yes. My wife died of bleeding while giving birth. And unfortunately, my baby boy candidate also could not be saved".
"Oh sorry, bang. I don't know. Sorry." Seruni.
"It's okay. Everyone has their own story." Sahut Tian later.
"Yes. And my story is, my husband cheated on me with my own brother. God, why should I bear this heavy burden. I'm totally alone. Even my father and mother, do not want my presence."
Seruni Whispers in the heart.
Seruni's tears once again flooded his smooth cheeks. His determination to go away, was right.
