THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)
SIXTY ONE
A small drizzle began to descend soaking the earth along with the sound of the Maghrib's voice reverberating. The car driven by Alfa drove at low speed because it was on a village road. So Alfa did not dare to drive her car at high speed. Afraid when suddenly there is a child who grabs the road.
When the car arrived on the highway, the rain began to pour quite heavily accompanied by strong winds. Seen from the trees on the left right of the highway that seems to be waving because of the strong wind.
"Do we need to take shelter first Al? The wind is strong."
"No papa, slow down. The rain is not too heavy."
"Not so much what? You don't see that in front of the fog, it's totally cut off, blocking the view." Oceh Seruni pointed forward. Where the dark fog began to block the view.
"Find a stall or a restaurant first there. We eat first while we wait for the rain to stop." The commandment of the Seruni which the Alpha could no longer refute.
Alfa continued to drive her car at low speed while watching the right left of the road to find a stall or restaurant. But after driving quite far, they also did not find a stall or restaurant that was open. Maybe because the effects of heavy rain accompanied by strong winds make stalls that are usually lined on the edges of the road close.
"Surprisingly, why is there not a single food stall or restaurant that is open?" Gerutu Seruni was upset. On top of his stomach that has been rumbling makes it more coarse.
"Keep how is this?" Alfa looked over at Seruni.
"Well how else, just keep going until the stall." Seruni was singing her lips.
"All right, princess." Said Alfa who did not get any response from Seruni. Because currently Seruni is focusing on paying attention to the side of the road.
The ride was very long because they could not drive at high speed. Adhan isya' roared, strong winds began to subside even though the rain was still quite heavy.
Not long after the sound of the Adhan was heard, they finally found a restaurant that was open on the left side of the road. Alfa immediately turned her car into the dining hall.
Seruni pointed to one of the fruitful foods on the menu list. The soto Lamongan. Rain like this is most suitable for eating fruitful as well as soto. Alfa followed what was ordered by Seruni. Not to forget two glasses of warm tea and also two bottles of mineral water he ordered.
"Oh yeah Run, what were you guys really talking about? What freedom do you mean?" Alfa asked curiously after the servant resigned.
"Eem," Seruni confused to answer what? If he answers honestly about his condition so far, will Alfa be willing to accept him? For not only did Alpha sleep with him, though it was Alpha that took away his sanctity. "Forget it. I'm not really ready to get married. I still want freedom. But due to circumstances that forced us to get married soon, so I had to give up that freedom." Kilah Seruni looking for an excuse.
"If freedom were as you mean it, I would give it. But you also don't forget about your responsibilities as a wife."
"Yes, I know. No need to talk about it anymore." Seruni said along with the waiter who delivered their order.
One hour they sat in the restaurant waiting for the rain to stop, but it never subsided. Their food has been gone since then. Only a freshly ordered warm drink remained for the third time. Yeah, they've ordered three drinks as cold-push friends.
The rain is still heavy. The strong wind that had disappeared had now come again. Plus flashes of lightning that are ready to strike. Looks like there's gonna be a rainstorm tonight.
