THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)

THE SEASON 2 PART 140

After traveling for four more hours, the car driven by Reksa finally arrived at the Seruni residence that afternoon. The house that has been abandoned by Seruni for 1 year more it looks dull wall paint. The doors and windows looked dusty. The terrace and the yard also look dirty. Lots of dry leaves scattered in the yard. The flowers that only have a few pots also look dry kerontang potnya only. Everything looks so arid. Understandably, one year more nobody took care of him.

Seruni and Muta got down together from inside the car. They walked to the porch of the house. Baby Al appears to be asleep in his mother's arms.

"Where's the key?" Muta raised his hand.

"It's in the bag." Seruni tried to find the key to his house that was still neatly stored in his bag. But because he only used one of his hands, he seemed to have difficulty.

"Here, let me." Muta grabbed the bag that was in his wife's hand. "Where is that?"

"There's a little zipper in Mas's bag, and the key's in there."

Mutual immediately looked for him. Soon the key to the house was in the hands of Reksa. Reksa immediately opened the door of Seruni's house and they were both immediately greeted by dust and also a stuffy smell to make Seruni cough.

"Ohuk. uhuk.." Seruni directly took a few steps back. His hands he used to protect his son to avoid dust and dirt.

"Attent. You guys outside just let me open the window so the air can get in." Mutual directly into the house and immediately open all the windows in the house Seruni.

After feeling that the dirty air inside the house had changed with fresh air coming from outside, Reksa immediately brought in Seruni and his son.

Seruni circulated her gaze through every corner of her house. Her chest felt tight considering her late husband and also her mother. The shadow when he was with his mother seemed to be in every corner of the house.

"Are you okay Run?" Reksa asked when he saw his wife just silently just stare.

"I-iya mas, no papa." Seruni tried to review the smile. "I'm going in to put Alpha to bed." Seruni stepped towards her room she had been in with her late husband.

"Yes, come on." Mutual tailed behind his wife.

"Eh," Seruni stopped her steps. "Mas Reksa if you want to rest can use the guest room. Or do you want to use your mom's room?" It was not Seruni's intention to refuse a room with her husband. Seruni was only afraid if her husband was uncomfortable in his room which was none other than his former room with his late first husband. "Mas Reksa don't misunderstand me first." Sambar Seruni quickly saw her husband frowning. "It's not that I don't want to room with Mas Reksa. I'm just afraid that later Mas Reksa will not be comfortable in the room that I once occupied with Alfa." Seruni lowered her head when she mentioned the name of her late husband.

"What's wrong. Don't think that far. I can sleep anywhere." Muta smiled to calm his wife's grief. "Must be in a dirty room, let me help you clean it first so it's comfortable to live in."

Finally, Seruni and Reksa entered the room once occupied by Seruni and the late Alfa. Sure enough, the room looks dirty. Even the sheets attached to the bed felt dusty. The mutual immediately pulled the bed sheet then replaced it with a new one. After that, Seruni can lay her child on the bed.

Seruni tried to ignore Alfa's shadow that was clearly visible in her eyes. She did not want to hurt her husband by thinking about her late first husband. Almost in every corner of her room she seemed to see her late husband smiling at her.

"Rest." Muta swung his steps towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

Muta turned his body staring towards his wife. "Let me clean the house first."

Seruni shook her head then patted the empty space next to her son. "Here rest first, then we clean the house together."

Inevitably Reksa finally swung his steps back near the bed. "Is it okay for me to sleep here?" The company seems doubtful. Mutual himself also did not want to make his wife feel uncomfortable.

Muta immediately climbed onto the bed then laid her body next to baby Al. His body turned towards his wife. The views of the two meet. Reksa's right hand stretched out and fell on Seruni's left cheek.

"Thank you for accepting me." He elus softly cheeks his wife. Seruni was seen closing her eyes while nodding. "Let's go to sleep." Seruni nodded back. They both closed their eyes. Resting his body for a moment after being tired of traveling far away.

In the afternoon, the two of them worked together to clean the house. Baby Al is still asleep. Baby Al is comfortable. Either it was comfortable because it was flanked by both his parents in his sleep. Or comfortable because it is in its own home.

"Loh Run, when do you come home?" Hearing the noise next to her house, Bu Ning tried to peek through the fence of her house and found Seruni sweeping the yard.

Seruni stopped her activities and then turned her head. A single smile immediately fell on his lips as he saw who greeted him. The only good neighbor to him. Seruni stepped her foot toward Bu Ning who was still looking over the fence.

"Mom Ning how are you?" Seruni stretched out her hand which was immediately held by Bu Ning.

"Good Run. You alone? Already lahiran?" Bu Ning watched Seruni's stomach that looked flat again.

"Alhamdulillah is Miss."

"Where's your son? What girl is a guy?"

"Cowok Ma'am. It's still sleeping inside."

"Owh, will you play here?"

"Yes, Mom." Sahut Seruni's.

They enough the chatter to get there because they have to continue their respective activities.

Shortly after, a mother who had once blasphemed and berated Seruni maki. "Have you gone home Run? Where the hell have you been? Chasing your haggard who ran away after impregnating you?"

Degh's!

For more than a year they had not met, but the woman's words still pierced the heart. Seruni just kept quiet and did not want to respond to the woman's words.

Not getting a response from the interlocutor, the mothers also circulated his gaze and found Reksa standing at the door with baby Al. A cynical smile was immediately created on the lips of the woman. "Braggles!" The woman then passed away.
