The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

To Semarang

If anyone feels emptiness in life it is Abraham. How not, for two months he was looking for the figure of Marsha, but as if a single clue he could not get. His efforts are always nil. Although working and while continuing to look for Marsha, until the man lost several kilograms of body weight due to heavy thoughts and irregular eating patterns. However, Abraham did not stop to continue looking for Marsha.

This time Abraham received a phone call from one of his friends studying in Semarang first. Arman, who was a college friend, called him and asked for his help.

“Halo, yes Arman .. what's up?” abraham received a call from his old friend.

“How are you doing Bro? Still in Jakarta?” ask Arman.

“Masih dong ... if you are not in Jakarta, want to scavenge Rupiah where else try?” abraham laughed with laughter. “Tumben new phone, what is it?” ask Abraham this time.

“You ask for help with you, right if you ask for help just as you know the price is sloping,” said Arman with laughter, until the laughter made Abraham laugh.

“Where?” ask Abraham.

“You need to please be photographed prewedding, Bro ... in Semarang can be?” ask Arman.

Apparently Arman called to ask Abraham to capture his prewedding moment in Semarang. That's because Arman knew that his college friend first, Abraham was good at taking pictures, and Arman wanted ahead of his happy day that Abraham could take pictures for him.

“Where was it?” ask Abraham.

“In Semarang lah... in Gedong Songo Temple,” said Arman confidently.

“What is the concept of the photo?” ask Abraham again.

“What is Bram? If I think about it, I'm a soldier, so I'm just going to get my uniform, and the lady's got a wedding dress on. Good enggak?” ask Arman.

Initially Arman did study in the usual path in general, but only one semester Arman chose to go out and enter the prospective school Bintara (Secaba). Since then, Arman has chosen to be a TNI soldier.

“Good heck ... cool this friend of mine is a soldier,” reply Abraham.

“Regular aja .. soldiers eat it yes still rice,” replied Arman so lightly.

“Ya eat rice, want to eat Tiwul?” abraham laughed with laughter.

“Udah is .. so this weekend can not go to Semarang. Continue to come later also yes to my wedding,” said Arman this time.

After hanging up the phone with Arman, Abraham chose to lay himself on the bed. The man looked at the photos of Marsha he still kept in his storage gallery. Back pain every time he looked at a photo of Marsha, without being able to see her directly and embrace her.

“Last week I will be going to Semarang, Sha .. maybe later we will meet there?” abraham was alone.

Slowly the man closed his eyes with a cellphone that was still lit and clearly displayed pictures of Marsha there. By looking at a photo of Marsha, Abraham can channel his longing and feelings.

Weekend arrived …

Today, Abraham is already at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, carrying a suitcase and a backpack, Abraham is ready to fly to his hometown this time. His main goal was to photograph his friend Arman's prewedding. However, in the remaining time he has, Abraham will visit his mother and search for Marsha at his parents' house first. Hopefully by returning to Semarang, Abraham can find traces of Marsha there.

As soon as the sound of a notification that passengers could enter the plane, Abraham queued with a ticket in his hand, showing the ticket officer he was holding at the moment. Casually, Abraham walked towards the plane that would take him to Semarang.

“Please, can we see the ticket?” ask a flight attendant who is standing in front of the plane.

“7B,” replied Abraham while showing him the ticket.

“Good, please Mr... for the backpack can be placed in the aircraft cabin,” replied the flight attendant again.

Abraham walked and looked for the seat with the number 7B and put his backpack in the cabin of the plane. While waiting for the passengers to enter the plane, Abraham saw his phone and returned to see pictures of Marsha there.

“Today I will go to Semarang, Sha .. if God permits it is possible that we will meet there. However, if not .. I will keep looking for you. Until I find you,” murmured Abraham in heart.

As soon as all passengers entered the plane, flight attendants began demonstrating safety demonstrations to all passengers starting from wearing safety belts, if the plane is in an emergency and so on. Slowly the plane started taking off. The plane began to take a position, increasing its speed, until slowly the fuselage was lifted into the air.

The 1 hour and 15 minute air journey will take Abraham this time to get to Semarang, do his job as a photographer and at the same time look for Marsha there. If the universe permits, Abraham will find Marsha in the city of Lumpia.

“Hopefully, this time I found your trace, Sha ... I'm going to Semarang, reminiscing about all our sweet memories there. When we went to college together, and I always drove and picked you up at college. Remember when you invited me to visit Eyangmu in Ungaran. I will visit the places we used to visit together,” Abraham said in his heart.

When he remembered Marsha, suddenly Abraham's right eye twitched and the man felt his heart pounding faster. Not because of the fear of boarding the plane, but there was a passionate longing in Abraham this time.
