Talak After Shah

Mr. Abraham is home

Being a widow is not easy. Every move we make becomes the subject of neighbor gossip

"Who's the guy you used to talk to in the hallway?" asked Mila this afternoon when I sat down with them

"Where are you?" ask me confused

They look at each other. And I just felt bad

"That's the sangar guy who often delivers food here, the same one that often accompanies you when everywhere"

"Sir Abraham" I was inward

"Oh, that's my family" I replied

"Oh, family anyway, we thought it was your girlfriend" replied Mila who followed laughter from the others.

I don't want to laugh either

"Be careful Ndah, you don't get the wrong choice, you've had a failed experience, so you have to be smart to choose a husband, not just because he has a car and often gives food, so you must be smart to choose a husband, then you want to be with him" continued Bu Yus next door to the rented Mbak Mila

I nodded my head.

"If he is your family, why he is not like family, even the effect is like your boyfriend" continued another

I took a deep breath

"Don't do Ndah weird in this village, if you want to stay here"

I gasp. I can't believe my neighbor thinks strangely of me and Mr. Abraham.

But it is also natural that if they think like that, indeed Mr. Abraham almost every day watching me from afar. Maybe his existence raises suspicions for the citizens here, which is probably why if they think strangely about my relationship with Mr. Abraham

"Insha Alloh I don't do strange things mothers" I replied

"It's good, because if you do, we'll have to get rid of it"

I gulped for the sake of hearing the answer of one of them.

...****************...

"*Yes Ndah?"

"Sorry before, brother, but I beg you please ask Abraham to return"

"Whats wrong?"

"Abang, I'm a widow. And you know, it's not easy for my neighborhood to accept Mr. Abraham's whereabouts"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I asked my brother, please tell Mr. Abraham to come back to Jakarta. Stop taking care of me"

"You mind if Abraham keeps an eye on you? okay, brother will ask him not to take care of you every day, brother will tell him three times a week to check on you"

"Yes, brother, it's not that easy. Please tell Abraham to come home. I am not ungrateful for the kindness of the brother who sent him to take care of me. But enough bang. I'm now legally a widow, and Andi won't bother me anymore because she's married, so there's no reason to keep Abraham here*"

Ariadi silently heard the long explanation Beautiful.

"Can*bang?"

"If that's what you want, today's brother asked him to come home"

"Thank you bang, sorry if you're offended"

"Never mind*"

Then the call ended.

...****************...

For the report to be over, that means I'm off now. This Sunday morning, I was mopping the floor when Abraham came.

"Get in, sir" I said to let him in

He took off his shoes and came in. I immediately took the carpet for me to stretch because the floor was still wet my mop.

"The arrival of the father here, to say goodbye mbak Indah" he said after I sat down

I nodded my head awkwardly

"Bos think your task is done, that's why you are asked to return"

"This must have been because of my request yesterday" my inner

"Thank you sir for everything" I replied softly

"Aren't you sure it's safe to leave?" tanyanya hesitated

I nodded my head for sure.

"I can take care of myself sir, if there's anything, I can talk to my family"

He seemed to be breathing deeply

"Bapak believes mbak can take care of himself, save the father's number, if there is a need mbak Indah can call the father" he said while handing over a business card

I immediately picked up the business card he gave me, read it for a while

"Don't hesitate to call you, huh?"

"Yes sir" I replied softly

"Don't be sad, if God gives us long life we will meet again" he said with a smile

"I will feel lost sir, from the beginning we know, in Pekanbaru, you have taken care of me, it is good with me. Until you also look after me when I am here, almost 24 hours guarding me, hufff I must be very sad sir left behind father" I replied stammering

"Father will always take care of you even though you are not here, Lubuklinggau thugs here have contacted all, you have asked to keep mbak from things that are not desirable"

I smiled haru

"There are two of my brothers, sir" I replied

"Oh yes, I send greetings to Mr. Andri"

"Yes sir, I'll tell you" I replied

"Tell him, sometime you want to invite him to shoot at the Jakarta shooting range"

I smiled hearing his words

"Wasn't he a member of Perbakin, was he?"

I nodded my head.

"He is really a member of BNN who deserves a thumbs up" he said

I laugh.

"Thank you sir for the compliment to my sister" I replied with a smile

"Yes, dad is home. Say hello to the big family"

"Yes sir, once again I say thank you very much"

Then I stretched out my hand, shook hands with him and kissed the back of his hand.

My eyes glazed over as he started to walk out the door

"Don't be sad. I pray we meet again. And I also pray that my life will be much better and happiness always accompanies me" he said after finishing wearing shoes

I could only smile stiffly holding back my tears that were ready to spill

Mr. Abraham smiled at me and turned his back to walk away from me who was still standing at the door

Before boarding the car, he saw my son playing.

Naura immediately approached after she had previously waved her hand calling

I can see he's giving a note to Naura's tiny hand.

Then he turned back to me, gave the code by lifting his five fingers. He seems to know, if I'm going to prevent him from doing that.

Then he got in the car, started the engine and glazed over, and the car walked away

After Abraham's death, Naura immediately ran towards me. Give the money in his hand

"From oom earlier, he said to buy snacks"

I immediately took the red money sheet in Naura's hands. Count it, Ten sheets.

"Maa Syaa Alloh" I said

Then I went in and took Abraham's business card which I had placed on the floor.

Save his number, then send a text message

"Thank you sir for the pocket money"

Mr. Abraham who was driving, immediately grabbed his cellphone as soon as he heard the phone ringing message notification.

He smiled knot after reading the text sent Beautiful

Then he dialed a number and connected

"*I've been on the way this boss"

"Yes, be careful on the road, how did that beautiful reaction go?"

"Sad he's the boss, he says he feels lost"

"You don't mess around, watch out if you fuck*!"

Abraham immediately swallowed his saliva

"I'm sorry boss, I mean not like that, I mean...."

Call disconnected.

Mr. Abraham stared for a while, then breathed heavily and scratched his non-itchy head

"Why should I talk like that, seek death" he regretted
