Surviving in Marriage

HANDWRITING RAIHAN

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from outside and seconds later the door opened. Arsyila quickly turned off her phone and hid it in her shirt.

Raihan looked at Arsyila suspiciously.

"Who were you talking to???" Raihan asked with narrowed eyes. Arsyila's face immediately turned pale. He was really scared if he was caught on the phone with Ardan.

"ee.. Nonexistent.. No talking to anyone." Arsyila said by lying because he knew how Raihan responded if he was telling the truth. Not to mention that he was sure Bik Ani would be the target of Raihan's anger because he had lent his Handphone to Arsyila.

"Continue.. That's what you're hiding in your shirt? You were calling again, right? Don't lie to you, Arsyila, who are you wearing? You still have me confiscated." Raihan offered various questions to Arsyila.

Arsyila lowered her head, she did not dare to look at Raihan.

"If you don't want to give me what you're hiding, I won't hesitate to take it forcibly." Threatening Raihan who made Arsyila finally pulled out the flat object.

"Sorry Bang Raihan. S-me.. Lied to me." Arsyila said by showing the cellphone in his hand. Raihan just took the phone out of Arsyila's hands.

"Who's this?" Ask Raihan.

"Bik Ani." Answer Arsyila.

"Damn, Bik.. Bik Ani's.." Raihan shouted to Bik Ani.

"Bang Raihan don't get mad at Ani, it's not.."

"Shut up!" Cut Raihan.

Bik Ani ran to her master's room. From the voice of Raihan's unusual scream, he could already be sure that his master was angry.

"Yes Den, sorry.. What's up Den?" Bik Ani asked with a trembling voice.

"Why is Bibik with Arsyila?" Raihan asked with a sharp look at the maid.

Bik Ani did not immediately reply, he looked at Arsyila and Raihan in turn.

"Anu.. Sorry Den, that was.. Non Arsyila borrowed it, wanted to call it." Clearly Bik Ani timidly.

"Yes, Ani's right bang. I borrowed it to aunt because.."

"Silence you are Arsyila. You don't make a sound before I tell you to!" He said with a huff.

"Bik.. Once again Bik Ani dared to lend a bibik hp to him.." Raihan said by pointing his index finger at Arsyila.

"I wouldn't hesitate to fire Ani's bik..!" Raihan continued with half-threatening.

"Yes, Den. Excuse me.. Bibik won't lend it anymore." Bik Ani's promise while bowing her head.

"Yes Den.. Ja.. Bibik. The lips first.." Then he left Raihan and Arsyila.

"And you.. Packing his clothes from now on. Tomorrow morning we're leaving." Raihan. Not yet Arsyila let out a voice to ask, Raihan has already passed from there by previously closing their room door tightly.

***

At nightfall, Arsyila was still in the room. While Raihan had seen from the window the man went to drive his car somewhere.

After believing that Raihan is not home, Arsyila ventured out of the room. However, just as he was about to open the door of his room, it was locked from the outside. Arsyila exhaled with annoyance. Again he was locked in a room.

Then Arsyilapun seemed to remember the last word Raihan before leaving. She told Arsyila to pack her clothes because they were leaving tomorrow morning.

"Where to? Bang Raihan where are you taking me?" Arshila asked herself, even though she did not know the answer.

Tired of thinking about it, Arsyila then walked through every place in Raihan's spacious room. His gaze stopped at a photo that he had once accidentally made fall.

Arsyila touched the dull-looking photo carefully and then she flipped it over. That's when he saw a piece of paper tucked inside his back frame. Arsyila then took the paper. Slowly Arsyila opened the old fold of paper. And.. After the paper was perfectly opened, Arsyila saw the neat handwriting on the paper.

Because the writing that began to fade made Arsyila bring the paper closer to his tab. He was very curious what the content of the long sentence in the neat writing was.

[I promise.. When I grow up, I will avenge my mother for that man. The pain that my mother endured until she died, I will pay back to her to her children as well. That way, the departure of the mother will not be in vain. I-i promise. Raihan]

Arsyila read the sentence quietly with a heart that shook violently. Arsyila believes this was Raihan's handwriting when the man was a teenager.

Arsyila went back to digesting the sentence carefully. Then he associated with the word revenge that Raihan had several times thrown at him. Was that person written in the paper intended for his family? Not wrong anymore. Arsyila believes that there is a possibility that his family is the one referred to in the writing.

But, Arsyila cheered as if in disbelief. What has been done by his family before, especially his father so that it makes Raihan so vengeful and hurt. Long ago.. Early married Arsyila had heard from Raihan's mouth when the man was drunk, he said that his father was a murderer. So he treated her badly.

However, at that time Arsyila did not question him too much because he knew Raihan who was drunk so he made his words digress indeterminate direction.

Arsyila believes her father is not who Raihan accuses him of. There must be something that makes Raihan wrongly suspect against his family. Yep.. Arsyila was sure, she knew very well how her father was. It's impossible for his father to do anything bad to anyone else. His father was a man who knew religion and was obedient in worship. So it was impossible for him to do anything to hurt others to the point that the person held such a great grudge against him.

Arsyila's heart and mind are still struggling about this. However, Arsyila was not satisfied until there, then he tried to find out again where there was something that could clarify this all.

Arsyila opened the drawer of Raihan's desk alternately, Arsyila sure must be a lot of clues that he can find in his room Raihan at this time. Although Arsyila's heart was actually shrouded in fear if it was discovered Raihan what he was doing at this time but his curiosity overcame his fear so that he continued to search everywhere in the room raihan's area.

Until finally.. A thick brown book with the title of Raihan's Notebook he met in the bottom drawer of Raihan's desk.

Arsyila then took the thick book. And now the book is in her arms. Arsyila hesitantly tried to open the first page of the book. And.. Simultaneously, the sound of someone unlocking the door was heard from outside. Arsyila was immediately shocked by the irregular heartbeat. He was sure it was Raihan who came...

Seriate..
