Safira was surprised, Bagas knew what he was thinking lately.
"If I were to become a husband, I wouldn't mind paying my wife's penalty for quitting her job. I think my husband does too. But if you still don't want to tell your husband about the penalty, just tell me how much you need." Bagas seemed to understand if Safira heavily stopped working because there was a fine to be paid if he resigned before five years.
Safira.
"I'm not looking for your attention Safira, I've moved on." Bagas laughs. "Take me your brother."
Now Safira smiled. She remembers her husband being jealous when she called Hans as brother.
"But my advice is to talk to your husband, he'll be happy if you're honest with him." Bagas began to be relieved to see Safira smiling.
"If you need any help tell me. I don't mind helping you, don't worry about me. I will take care of you as much as I can while you are in my sight. Don't worry about my job. Even if Fairuz is upset or angry with me he won't be able to fire me right away, yes at most I'm mutated across the island. But it's okay, I don't have anyone, I'm ready to mutate anywhere."
Safira turned to him, "Go home sir!"
"I'm waiting for you until you really get home. I just feel sorry for the fish here screaming but no one heard it because you fell asleep here." Bagas spoke with serious mimicry but then smiled looking at Safira who was also smiling.
"Hurry home to Safira!" Then Bagas turned around and left Sapphira alone on the bench. Bagas did not really leave he waited for Safira in the mosque foyer near Safira to park his car.
Sapphira looked far towards the lake. He used to love jogging here with his college friends. Of course, when he was a student. His memories revolve around re-enacting happy moments of being a student. That was when his idealism was formed, his friends appreciated him so much. No man ever dared to approach her, for they knew for sure Safira's answer. So if there are men who like it just dare to steal a glance from afar or give congratulations when Safira birthday was just through a message from the phone to the phone. Safira is known as a religious figure, his clothes and speech he said had shown it.
In contrast to the world of work, his friends are more courageous to show taste. Maybe because it has worked so feel independent and have income. Ideally a person can wear off at work. The current can take you to lose grip. Even at first Safira looks strange with a hijab dangling over her chest, while all her friends wrap her hijab around her neck. Though foreign, Sapphira tried to keep what she believed to be true. But everything felt broken and futile as he recalled the words of Mr. Fairuz earlier.
Safira returned. Accelerate the supply of oxygen into his body. "Strong Sapphira, don't be weak!" He gave strength to himself. "Since when did Safira become this crybaby. Wake Safira! Wake up!" Safira was still yelling at himself.
Sapphira took a deep breath, flowing energy throughout her organs. He began to rise from his stool, stepping away from the lake. He saw that Bagas was really waiting for him. When Safira got in the car, Bagaspun grabbed his backpack and prepared to get on his bike.
Safira's view focused on driving to get to his house immediately. While at the back, Bagas still followed him by keeping his distance, just wanting to make sure Sapphira was safe to arrive at his home. After Sapphira entered the house she left with a feeling of relief.
Safira had not seen his phone since, but when he was in the area of Reffan lake called him many times because he saw the position point Safira who was on campus and it was long enough.
Just after reaching home, Safira saw her phone. And send a message to her husband.
I just got home, I took a shower.
There's no way Safira's calling her husband soaked like this. Actually Sapphire was already shivering in the cold. After typing a message for her husband Safira immediately entered the bathroom.
.
About 20 minutes Safira was in the bathroom. Just as she was coming out, her phone on the dresser was already shaking. Video call from her husband. Sapphira immediately lifted it, but then turned the screen to the lights on the ceiling of the room. Sapphira was still wrapped around the towel on her body, her hand immediately grabbed the clothes in the closet.
S : Assalamu'allaikum.
R : Walaikumsalam. Where is your face told to look at the lights?
S: Bentar yes mas I wear clothes first
R: Where to try to see
S: Yes
R: (Reffan's voice laughed) Papa is not his own husband. Look dong.
S: Patience dong mas
R: Quick view. I will be watching all day and can't move anywhere.
S: Yes
S: It is finished
R: It's too late, why change his clothes so quickly. Try repeating again. I'll be told I can't go anywhere.
Safira smiled, her husband used to pounce on her so he could not wiggle.
S: Mas, sorry I want to pray magrib first yes. I'll call you back later. Assalamu'alaikum's chat.
R : Wa'alaikumsalam.
The connection has been cut off. Reffan was still staring intently at the flat screen in front of him. Because he saw his wife's face was not radiant as usual. Her pretty face was pale, her eyes were red. "Did she just cry?" Reffan muttered to himself.
.
After prayer and prayer. Safira immediately went to the kitchen to make warm chocolate, cow's eye eggs and boil instant noodles. His body was getting shivering, he needed to warm up immediately. It didn't take long to make it let alone spend it. Safira sat down on the dining chair. Alone staring at the plates and glasses that have lost their inhabitants.
"Mas, I miss." Mumbled himself. A speck of clear liquid escaped again from the corner of his eye. Hurrying eliminated.
"You have been crying for a long time, Sapphira. Don't cry anymore!" Sapphira strengthened herself. Put the dirty dishes and glasses in the dishwasher. Tomorrow morning he'll take care of it.
Arriving in the room. She called her husband back via videocall.
R: Dear assalamu'alaikum
S: Wa'alaikumsalam mas
R: This just came home, baby? Kok magrib-magrib new bath. From where?
Q: There was a meeting outside. Keep me praying ashar in the campus mosque.
R: Oh that's it. Have you eaten yet?
S: It has just been
Q: What to eat?
S: Eat noodles i... (Safira soon realized not to continue her words, worrying about her husband's reaction if she knew he was eating instant noodles). Eat noodle mas.
R: What noodles?
S: Yes mas noodles. That long noodle. I know noodles, right? (Safira smiled showing her teeth)
R: What noodles is Safira? (Still asking questions for not getting a satisfactory answer)
S: Instant noodles equal to eggs (Smiling as sweet as possible)
R: (Breathing) You don't usually eat instant noodles. Wh why? My wife eats instant noodles anyway. I feel like I failed at being your husband. Wait, I'll have them deliver food from the hotel.
S: Not to! I'm already full. Never mind eating instant noodles mas. I was lazy to cook earlier was also lazy to open the door if the food message. I want to go to bed, I feel tired.
Q: Safira, are you okay?
Safira remained silent
P: Safira Nadhifa Almaira. Did something happen to you today?
