SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

Night Journey

"Yes, that's okay, Sarah. Just relax," he said with a smile and continued to concentrate on the road in front of him.

"Btw, which new home are you in, Sin?" I asked curiously. Because I really hope that Sinta's new house is close to my shophouse. So that we can meet at any time.

In a city this big, I only have Sinta who is like a family of her own. Since we were small, we were always together.

"You'd be surprised if you knew my new home address" he said as he looked ahead.

"Oh yeah? Wow you make me more curious?" said I. Because it makes me very curious.

"But you have to promise yes, you must come and stay in my new house" said Sinta without looking at me at all. He continued to focus ahead because he had entered the village road. Understand that the road is not as smooth as in the city.

"Beres....," I said along with Mayang. And we laughed together.

Because it was night, the streets looked very quiet. And suddenly in the middle of the road that is surrounded by the left right side of the rice field, Sinta's car tire deflated.

We had to get the three of us down, except for Kean and his nanny. Because if Kean comes out, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold. And the whole thing outside is very dark.

"Ih.. when we stay a little longer until!!," said Sinta looks upset with the squat position next to the flat tire of his car.

"You can change, Sin?, if I can't be honest at all" I said.

"I can, but this body feels tired" he replied. Probably because he was driving the car during the trip. So his body feels tired.

"What is it like?" asked Mayang.

"Just a minute, I'm calling Bima. He said Bima came this afternoon." replied Sinta while taking out her phone.

I just kept quiet, because I didn't know who Bima was. Want to go to Sinta too, I think this is not the right time. Because we are all tired and added with the flat tire Sinta car.

The phone was also seen closed by Sinta. And I didn't hear their chat. Because Sinta deliberately stayed away from me when calling someone whose name is Bima.

Now Sinta has returned to me and Mayang who is standing next to the car.

"Where, Sin?" I asked.

"Bima has come here, so we don't need to panic anymore" he replied. Seen a happy and relieved face on Sinta. And I felt that, including Mayang.

Not waiting for long, there was a man who came carrying a sports bike. He was only alone, I'm sure this must be the person Sinta called.

"Hay, Bim. I'm sorry I interrupted your rest these nights." said Sinta with a happy face while greeting the man. I think it's like Sinta......

Ah.. let it be, I see this man named Bima is also good, handsome too. Very suitable and compatible with Sinta.

Hopefully my feelings are right, so that my best friend will immediately release his bachelor.

Because I see from the gelagat and mimic Sinta's face is very different. It was as if something was stored in his heart.

"Bim, meet Sarah and this is Mayang." Sinta introduced us both in turn. After Bima finished replacing the leaking car tires.

Me and Mayang just cupped both palms in front of the chest. So we did not shake hands directly with Bima.

Bima immediately pulled his hand, and immediately cupped his two palms also followed me.

"Sin, the car tires are done. You just go up, let me be behind your car." said Bima who looks once if he has more attention on Sinta.

And Sinta replied with a small nod and a friendly look at Bima. And Bima replied with a smile.

Ah. so remember the past when Mas Damar was approaching me. There was a feeling of happiness when I remembered that, as if I were the luckiest woman in the world. For getting a man as handsome and as good as Mas Damar.

But apparently, after marriage everything did not match my expectations. I thought I'd be happier living with my husband's family. The truth is everything I imagined was pseudo, my life was full of suffering.

Sinta immediately got up and sat behind the steering wheel, and I climbed the last one after Mayang got into the car.

Intentions want to say hello to Bima who is still standing next to his motorbike with a nod of his head.

Why is Bima staring at me like that?,

Maybe it was just my feeling.

I also passed into the car, not caring so much about Bima's gaze that made me confused and afraid to misinterpret.

Finally Sinta and I were in the car, and Sinta started the engine.

The car also runs towards my house, because to go to Sinta's house must pass through my house first.

I look back through the rearview mirror, Bima still continues to follow this car.

"That's your boyfriend, Sin?" I asked Sinta who is currently focusing on driving, because the road ahead is quite dark.

"Hi hi hi..," Sinta simply replied with a horse's grin.

But I know with Sinta's answer, that indeed he was close to the man.

Suddenly my phone rang, I immediately took the phone in the bag that was on my lap.

I saw it was Damar who called me. What's he calling me? Does it have anything to do with Lidya coming home yesterday?

Instead of me being curious, I picked up the phone immediately.

"Assalamualaikum," said I.

"Waalaikumsalam, Sarah where are you? I'm going to your house. But the shop was closed from this afternoon." she asked by phone.

"I'm back home, mas. If you want to see me to talk about what Lidya said yesterday. It's better Monday we meet." I said without further ado.

"You mean, now you go to mom and dad's house?" he asked.

"Yes" I replied briefly. Then I closed the phone, because I thought there was nothing more to talk about with Mas Damar at this time.

It's better that we meet later, I'll talk more about what Lidya said yesterday.

We finally got to my mom and dad's house.

"Sin, are you sure you didn't stop by?, mending you just stay here first. It's only tomorrow morning that you go home" I bargained. Because there is little worry if Sinta rides her own car at night like this.

Especially here the countryside, which at night the road is very quiet.

"You don't worry, Sarah. Trust me, it must be safe "he replied very casually.

"Sarah's sister is calm, definitely safe. Behind there is a bodyguard." said Mayang while glancing back at the end of the sentence he said.

"Oh yes, Sarah forgot May" I replied, patting the bidat.

Finally the four of us got out of the car, and Sinta boarded her car alone. But this heart has calmed down, because Sinta is not alone. Because behind there is Bima who guard it from behind.

"I nitip Sinta ya, Bim." I said to Bima as he passed the four of us standing beside the road to wait for Sinta car road to leave my parents' house.

But there was no answer from the cold man's mouth, he just nodded his head with eyes that I could not explain.

"The theme is Sinta, strange?" asked Maya. As we walked into the courtyard of the mother and father's house.

"How weird?" I asked. I pretended not to understand what Maya said.

"Looks like he's cold, stiff with no expression." Maya replied with a shudder.

I just smiled and heard Mayang's behavior.

The door of the house was knocked to be opened immediately by the mother or father. Because the air outside was quite cold, the Kean who was currently sleeping.
