TerLove (Love After Wedding)

Not you

Cantika cried as she hugged tightly the man who had just appeared. Everyone looked at him closely and there were even some close neighbors who were watching.

"Mas, don't go again!"

"Sorry, who are you? And what exactly is this?" Said the man.

Cantika took off her embrace and then looked back at that face. It is almost similar, there are only a few different parts. His skin was slightly dark and his posture was higher. The most different is his voice that sounds hoarse. Now Cantika realized that the man was not her husband. The woman ran into the house, crying louder on the couch.

The stranger looked at everyone in confusion. "Sorry, what is this? Where's Mas Anas?"

Mr. Permana just remembered who the figure of the man. "Ardan? Is this you? I barely recognize you. The older you get, the more you look like Anas."

"Sir Permana, what is this?" 

"Let's talk inside!"

They're back in the house. Riri and Bu Sofi sat down by Cantika's side while hugging her, in order to be calmer. Mr. Permana and Ardan and Peter sat facing the women.

"Sir, where's my sister? I haven't been able to contact him for a week. That's why I came here because I was worried."

"Sorry, Ardan. Your brother died a week ago."

The man hung over with teary eyes. "Inalillahiwainailaihirojiun, why did Mas Anas suddenly die? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Peter looked at Ardan cynically. "It turns out he's Anas' sister, his face looks similar. I almost had a heart attack. Thank goodness the poor guy didn't come back here. But I also need to be careful with my sister. He could be a new competitor." The chide in the heart.

"Ardan, we don't know your contact number. Forgive us. Your brother died because…." Mr. Permana told me about the cause of Anas' death.

Ardan was bowed, at this time the clear circle was pouring into his face. Now all his family was gone, making his heart as if it were spoiled.

"Sir, is it true that the incident that happened to Mas Anas was purely due to an accident?" asked Ardan after his crying somewhat subsided. The thought just popped.

"You mean?" The new cantika is speaking again.

"What if this accident was deliberately engineered by someone who wanted to harm Mas Anas?"

Peter had difficulty breathing. His attitude looks a bit riled up.

Mr. Permana spoke up, "No, the police team has investigated this incident. Nothing is awkward."

Peter smiled in his heart. "Of course, I've taken care of everything carefully. No one will ever know what the real facts are."

Bu Sofi looked at Ardan while rubbing his stepson's head. "Ardan, you look a lot like your brother. We almost thought that you were really Anas."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude." Cantika spoke slowly while rubbing her cheek.

"So the woman was his wife Mas Anas. It was only fitting that he hugged me just now, what a pity. I'm sure he's very hurt right now. It seems like he loves Mas Anas very much." Ardan spoke in his heart. He did know if his brother married Mr. Permana's daughter, but did not memorize how the face of his brother-in-law.

"That's okay, patient mom. I know that this must be very heavy but maybe all is destiny. We have to let it go." Ardan. Actually Cantika's age is still below it, but because the woman is the wife of her brother, then she called him as Ma'am. That was his way of honoring his brother-in-law.

"Son Ardan, let's eat together. I happen to have made fried rice." Bu Sofi smiled.

"No need, Mom. I'm not hungry." Answer while nodding. How could he have a taste for food at a time like this.

Peter tried to hide his frustration with Bu Sofi. He still put on a relaxed face even though in his heart grumbled. "Basar old lady nyebelin. He seems to hate me."

"Ardan, let's eat. Peter, you're coming too!" Bring Mr. Permana.

Peter smiled, "No, Om. I'm saying home. I'll be here again tomorrow, can I?!"

"Lhooo, what's the rush?"

"Yes, Om. Momy always nagging if I've been playing at the girl's house for too long." The squinty guy grinned.

Riri looked at him in disdain, her hatred now appearing again. "Sok became a submissive momy child even though her behavior in the back, a mess." His grunts without a sound.

"So be so careful on the road. Greetings to your Daddy." Said Mr. Permana.

Peter shook the hand of the man next to him and got up. His gaze turned on Ardan with a slight frown. "Awas if Lo macem-macem, I make sure Lo's fate will be the same as Anas." Of course the words were only stored in his chest.

Peter smiled at Cantika. "Well, I'm home now. You're fine, don't mind much!"

Cantika just nodded slowly without staring. Riri and Bu Sofi looked at the man fiercely. At the moment both of them do not like the attitude of attention from Peter.

 Cantika cleaned the prayer equipment and took a cocoa dress that was used by her husband. She kissed and hugged him, as if it was the figure he was missing. The fragrance of the perfume that was attached to the shirt was so strong, that it made Anas' figure as if he was there with her.

"Mas, even in this shirt you're still stuck, let alone in my heart." He said while kissing the white cloth without buttons.

Satisfied hugging the clothes owned by her husband, she also approached her half-sister who was still asleep. "Ri, wake. It's shajuh." Shake the girl's shoulders slowly.

"What's up, brother? Need anything?" Riri tried to collect his life, some of which are still left in the dreamland.

"No, wake up you haven't prayed!"

"Later, Brother. I'm still sleepy, cold again." Say the girl while allowing the blanket to cover all her body.

"But it will be clear if you sleep again." 

"So don't wake me up later."

Cantika sharpen its smell which at that time captures the delicious aroma of a dish. A familiar fragrance on his nose, reminiscent of something or rather a person.

He stepped quickly downstairs. The smell came from the kitchen. Someone was struggling there, making Cantika as if brought to memory when Anas was alive.

"Mas Anas…." Say it in the heart. Her eyes seemed to find the figure of her husband currently standing on his back. But he knew exactly if the man was his sister-in-law.

Ardan turned around, "Sir, how can I help you?"

Cantika shook her head slowly. "Ardan, are you making yellow rice? Can I see?"

"Yes, Mother. Go ahead, look at it while sitting down let's not pegel."

Ardan continued cooking while Cantika sat there watching.

"Ardan, why are you cooking that? It's not possible to sell, is it?!"

"For me, this yellow rice is reminiscent of Mas Anas. So I made him just let go of miss." Say it while mixing rice with seasoning.

"I also think the same, can I taste?!"

"Well, Ma'am. I made it for all of us."

"Oh yes, Ma'am. Last Mr. Permana same Bu Sofi went home first. Maybe it'll be here again."

"When?"

"Before you go to the kitchen." 

"Ardan, you look a lot like Mas Anas."

"Indeed, but different personalities. I'm not as good as Mas Anas hehe…"

"You don't have a wife, why not bring them?"

"She was pregnant young, Ma'am. It is risky if you have to travel far, especially the condition of the content is rather weak."

"Your wife's pregnant? How many months?"

"It's only been 7 weeks."

Cantika looked down while rubbing her stomach. "My baby is only 7 weeks old. Why are you together, huh?!" smile crazily.

Ardan looked at him pity. "Mother is pregnant?"

"Yes, but it's a pity for my son to have no father even while he's still in the womb." His face is so sad.

"But I'm sure many love him and will take care of him. Ma'am don't worry! I am also willing to be his father. I mean, I'm his uncle, I mean just like his father."

"Thank you." Little smile.

They continued to talk until Riri finally appeared and sat down next to his stepbrother. 

"Such fragrance, kiss the top. That's why I'm in such a hurry to get up and keep showering here." The girl grinned.

"Sholat?"

"Udah, Brother."

Ardan put the food on the table. "It just so happens that I'm done cooking. We can eat now."

"It looks good, ahh. I don't usually like to eat rice early in the morning, but I want to try." Riri took the plate and spooned the food. Cantika and Ardan did the same. 

Cantika devoured the food as she continued to stare at the man sitting in front of her. Next to his hand stroked the stomach that was still flat but alive. "Son, that's your father's face." Words known only to themselves.

"It doesn't feel as good as Mas Anas, does it?!" ask Ardan.

"It's different but it's good." Cantika said with a smile.

Riri ate so well. While Cantika and Ardan actually did not enjoy too much. The thoughts of the two were adrift in the figure of Anas.

After eating, Riri cleaned up the dirty eating utensils. Ardan swept the house. Cantika went into the bathroom.

"Uwooo.." The voice was so loud. Everyone who heard must know that Cantika is currently vomiting. Riri approached and massaged Ika's neck. 

"Sister, still nauseous?"

Cantika shook her head while holding her stomach. Riri swept her towards the sofa in the living room. Then he took warm water for his brother.

"Drink, Brother."

Cantika took the glass. "Thank you." Keep it on the table after spending all the water in it.

Ardan silently watched as he walked past them. His heart felt pity to see his brother-in-law like that. "It is certainly not easy to be left behind when pregnant young like that. It's very sad, Mrs Cantika. If Mas Anas were still here, he would take care of him." 

The man washed his hands and walked into the living room. "Sir, I want a pilgrimage to Mas Anas' tomb."

"Let me be with you, you don't know where it is." Cantika will rise.

"Bak just rest. I know where the funeral is here."

Cantika told him where Anas' tomb was located. Ardan is gone. 

"Sister, rest in this room only. If you go to the upper room further, you will still be dizzy." Riri helps her brother stand up and then goes into the room next to the living room.

Cantika lay on her side with a slanted position. His body was currently so limp. Riri covers Cantika's entire body.

"Sister, budar. I think someone's coming."

Riri came out of the room. He walked towards the door. Jeng.jeng turned out that when the door opened, the figure of his former fiancee appeared. He knows exactly what the man's purpose is here for.

"Sir Cantika rested, can't be disturbed!" Jutek.

Peter smiled, "Why? You're still jeolus? Still love me?" Speak slowly.

Riri threw away her face. He still harbors that feeling, but it seems that if to go back to the man named Peter, you have to think many times over.

"Please go, Sister Cantika will definitely not want to see you even though she is no longer sick."

Peter didn't care, he walked into the house and sat on the couch. His eyes were looking for the figure of a stranger.

"Where's Anas' sister?"

Riri stood looking at him stupefiedly. "Nothing, what do you want?"

"It's just that." Peter is grateful that Ardan is not with Cantika. "Oh, yeah. Cantika rest where?"

"In room…. Don't you dare samperin Cantika. She now needs a break from getting pregnant."

Peter's wide-eyed, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, pregnant with Mas Anas's son. Why else?"

Peter looks very calm. It seemed like the man was thinking of something. Riri was still looking at him sharply while crossing her arms in the chest.

"Mending now Brother Peter comes home, if not I will shout let the residents come here."

Peter got up from his seat. The man stared intently full of anger at the girl in front of him. "Gue's coming home now. I will definitely see Cantika again. And you should be polite later!"

Riri rolled her eyes lazily. He's getting annoyed at the rude attitude of the narrow-eyed man.

Peter left with an annoyed and also confused facial expression. After all, news of Cantika's pregnancy had really troubled her. I don't know what's on his mind now?
