TerLove (Love After Wedding)

The unexpected departure

The world today is in complete darkness if only there were no lights on. The night sky filled with dense clouds indicates that it will now rain.

A girl sits pensively on the bed. His mind is struggling on its own. The cold and quiet made him even more frightened. 

His hands clenched the knees he hugged. His eyes were dripping with water crystals. "Mom, Dad. I'm scared here. Why are you always busy and never pay attention to me? I need you now."

Tok...dok…! Someone knocked on the door.

"Non Eca, there's a real guest."

"Who's Bi?"

"He said that when he was in college, his name was Syahnaz."

"Oh, yeah. I'm downstairs now."

Eca rubbed her puffy cheeks. He soon met his guests there.

"Eca, how are you?" Peculiar-chipiki.

"OK, Lo? We haven't seen you in a long time." The two sit side by side.

"Ca, sorry I came here malem-malem."

"Ahh, it's still nine o'clock. Just relax.. Naz, now that Lo is busy what?"

"Gue is now a hit man." Answer with a smile.

She laughed, "Lo still likes to joke."

"Gue was able to work as a cafe singer only now it is no longer. I actually came here because I wanted to ask for help Lo. Do you have any acquaintances who are looking for employees? I want to work again to support my family."

Eca seems to think. "I think there is, my papi there is someone else looking for a singer to make in a karaoke place. But you don't want to work in that kayak place?"

Syahnaz's eyes twinkled. "Maybe, it's okay that I can get money especially for paying the cost."

"Lo's still boarding on campus deck?"

"No, I was expelled. I'm confused where to sleep." His face looks sad.

Eca finally offered the girl to stay at her house. Initially Syahnaz refused but because he continued to be forced, he accepted the help.

"Eca, sorry I even a lot of repotin Lo."

"Gue was even grinning, so no longer lonely in this house."

Tomorrow.

Syahnaz got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. At least he should be useful, do not just enjoy sleeping and eating in the big house.

Eca.

"Naz, what's Lo?"

"Ca, I made breakfast for us to eat together."

"There's no helpers, you don't have to bother with that."

"It's okay, Bi Salma I told you to shop earlier. It just so happens that the kitchen stock is over. Sorry, I'm kind of good at gini."

"It's easy, consider it your own home."

Both of them sat in the chair facing each other. They enjoyed breakfast with great pleasure. 

"Ca, I mules. Sorry, I'm going to the restroom first." Shahnaz held her stomach grimacing. He walked upstairs.

"Yes, come here again yes.gue no temen." Say Eca while chewing food.

Suddenly his throat was hot. Eca took the glass that was on the table. He downed the water until he finished a few large glasses. But the heat does not want to go away.

His hand held his neck and chest which now hurt. "Shahnaz.Naz.." Call him hoarse and weak. He tried to get up with the rest of the energy he had. His intention wanted to walk but his body was too weak, he inched towards the stairs which were still quite far from where he was.

"Yahnaz..to-please…." Call him in a very low voice.

Shortly afterwards, his body was stretched out while twitching. His mouth let out foam and his eyes glared at the ceiling.

The girl struggled alone to deal with the pain that tormented her. No one knows, except Shahnaz. His friend was actually from earlier silently watching Eca's misery. There is not a single movement that indicates he wants to help.

The corners of Shahnaz's lips are creepy. There was a sense of satisfaction and pleasure that was evident from his facial expression. On the other hand, there was a sense of anger that he seemed to have been quieting for a long time.

His hands were clenched and his eyes were red. His chest rose and fell as he recalled the past. In the past he had to be willing to take off the man he loved because it was taken by Eca. Just because of that, he harbored a huge anger and grudge against one of his friends.

Syahnaz is now laughing while crying. "Finally, I can see Lo suffering. This is nothing compared to the pain I've been feeling for Lo's betrayal, Eca. You deserve this."

He slowly walked down the stairs and squatted down next to his dying friend. 

"Eca, sorry. I had to do this. Try if you used to not be a traitor, Lo must still be alive. Hye….!" he said while waving his hand.

At that moment Bi Salma appeared. The woman ran over to her master who was no longer moving. So panicked, the groceries were thrown just like that in any direction.

"Non, wake! Why is it like this, what's the matter?"

"Bi, I don't know either. I just got out of the room. Suddenly I saw that Eca was already this good." Syahnaz pretended to cry hysterically. "We need to get Eca to the hospital as soon as possible!"

Bi Salma called the two guards and the driver in front. They took Eca's body into the car and were taken directly to the nearest Hospital.

**

Hearing bad news about her only daughter, both of Eca's parents decide to return home from their business trip from out of town. They rushed straight to the Hospital Bi Salma showed them.

The two sat in chairs facing the room where Eca was receiving medical treatment. While Bi Salma chose to stand next to his masters with Shahnaz.

"Bi, why is this all happening?" asked Mr. Arfan with a red face.

"I also don't know exactly what happened. After shopping, I was surprised by the state of Miss who was unconscious." Answer while looking down.

Shahnaz spoke up, "Om, Auntie. I just ran out of the bathroom, and then I saw Eca was convulsing. I don't know why that is?"

Mrs Arfan was speechless. Only her crying voice sounded heart-wrenching.

"Om, this is all fate. We all have to accept it. I'm sure that Eca will recover soon." The two-faced woman was acting as an angel.

Shortly after, Syahnaz went to the toilet. That's when the doctor came out of the ER room. Arfan and his wife were standing close. Bi Salma remained in place.

"How's my son, Doc? She's okay, right?!" ask Ms. Arfan.

The doctor lowered his head. He exhaled his coarse breath before speaking.

"The patient had a poisoning that caused his breathing and heart to be abnormal."

The two old men looked at each other, both clueless. 

"What poisoning? How did that happen, Doc?" ask Mr. Arfan.

"It looks like the patient is consuming the poison from food or drink that enters his body."

"What does the doctor mean, is someone deliberately poisoning our child?" Again Mr. Arfan spoke.

"Maybe it's more or less like that, unless the patient is deliberately consuming it."

A nurse walked out of the closed room with a panicked expression. The doctor went back in there. It makes everyone more anxious and even frustrated.

After 10 minutes, the doctor came out again. 

"Sorry, the patient can no longer survive. We've tried our hardest, but the One Above wills another."

Ms. Arfan was sitting languidly on the floor. The woman, of course, did not want to hear the bad news. The crying broke again. Mr. Arfan and Bi Salma tried to calm down even though they were just as shaken.

On the other hand, Shahnaz, who was hiding behind a wall, was smiling with satisfaction knowing that Eca was lifeless. That means the crazy plan worked.

The devil-hearted woman immediately went to the airport on the taxi she ordered. After committing the crime, he must immediately hide abroad.

**

Cantika collapsed when she heard the news of grief that was thrown from Gladis' mouth by telephone. His eyes were glaring blankly, giving off a lot of clear droplets. Even his body is now limp as if boneless. 

"Eca, there's no way…." Even the crying cannot be contained.

Anas hugged his wife who was sitting languidly on the sofa. "Darling, what's wrong?"

"Eca died, Mas. Eca…." The tears flooded his face.

"Inalillahiwainailaihirojiun's search…." The man rubbed his wife's head to make her calmer.

"Why did he leave so soon? We just got back close."

"It's all fate. You must be calm, pray for him to have a good place by His side. Now we better get ready to attend his funeral."

After changing clothes, the two went to the cemetery where Eca's body would be buried.

** 

That afternoon, many people came to the funeral. Eca's family, neighbors and friends were there to escort the girl to the last bed.

The sound of crying filled the earth. One of the voices came from the beauty who was now standing staring at the cemetery. Beside him, stood the bewok man who was endlessly embracing his shoulders.

"Cantika, you can be sad but do not forget to pray to the deceased."

The woman nodded slowly. He prayed in his heart as much as he could. After being somewhat calm and able to control himself, Cantika hugged Bu Arfan.

"Tante, I'm saying goodbye now. Patient aunt, pray for Eca to have a good place there."

"Thank you, Ka. I'm sorry if I had something wrong with you." Say it while sniffling.

Cantika nodded while rubbing the woman's cheeks. "Eca's good, ain't got nothing wrong with me."

Now it was Gladis and Tina's turn to hug Bu Arfan. The other friend went home first.

Anas greeted Mr. Arfan while saying condolences. He left the funeral with his wife.

Just a few steps away, they came across a man with glasses and all-black clothes. That man is none other than Peter.

"You guys from Eca's funeral? I'm going there too. If it wasn't jammed, I wouldn't be late." Said the oriental-faced man.

"It's okay, you go straight there. We go first." Anas took his wife who now looked unfocused and lethargic. The woman's thoughts were still on her late best friend.

"Yes, careful!" The man smiled a little. But his face turned wry when the couple had left.

"I should have embraced Cantika when again the atmosphere of grief kayak gini. But be patient Peter, it's not time yet!"

The man continued his steps. He greets both of Eca's parents.

"Sorry Om, Auntie. I am late coming. The road was jammed."

Mr. Arfan responded, "It's okay, Peter. Thanks for coming."

"I'm so sorry for the sudden death of Eca."

"Thank you, Peter."

After a long time there, the narrow-eyed man left the parents, who still lamented the grave of their son.

Peter walked quickly to his car. He was sitting in the back because a driver was driving.

"Road, Sir. We're going straight to Daddy's office."

"Good, Sir."

During the trip, Peter looks mesem himself. The sad news of Eca's departure really pleased her. Finally one of the small pebbles that would have blocked his plan, had now been erased from this world.

My trick worked too. No in vain I charge the crazy girl to escape abroad.

Peter indirectly took part in the effort to get rid of Eca. It was he who contacted Shahnaz and charged the girl with a crime. The man knew very well that the girl was not sane, had a grudge against Eca. He used the gap to heat up Shahnaz and even gave a crazy idea to poison one of the Cantika friends.

All safe because there's no evidence that I had anything to do with Eca's death. Surely Syahnaz will be hunted by the police. Even if he gets arrested one day, I'm safe. That crazy chick is the sole culprit for the disappearance of Eca. This is what I call the advantage of being friends with the enemy from the enemy.

Peter is a cunning man. He used the Shahnaz to launch his intention, without having to bother plunging directly. The man was as crazy as the two-faced girl.
