The Forgotten Asmara

Interviews

"Mara's? Where are you going this morning, son?" Mother noticed my cross-section from top to bottom that already looks neat.

"Mom, pray for me.. I have a job interview today." I obviously went to my mother with pride.

"Alhamdulillah, good luck son... Let's have breakfast first." Take mom to me while preparing fried rice.

"Thank you mom..."

I'm headed to the XXXX corporate office where I applied for a job. I quickened my footsteps, not wanting to be late. After heading to the receptionist section, I was also welcome to the interview room.

Based on my work experience in byan company, then in Korea, they finally accepted me to work.

"Welcome to join our company, Miss Asmara.." The woman tagged Saraswati the manager shook my hand congratulating me.

"So I got accepted to work here ma'am?" I asked with sumringah.

"Yes, we're looking forward to Asmara's performance." Answer saras.

"Thank you very much..." My answer.

"From tomorrow you can work, here's some information that you should know." Saras gives a paper bucket containing information for new employees.

"Good ma'am. If so I say retreat" I also came out of the company manager's room.

"Hallo, sir, we've accepted Miss Asmara.." Saras talks to someone via cell phone.

"Good work saras. Keep watching the romance." Answer a man across there.

"So calm down." Saras disconnected his phone.

Poor woman, how pity her fate.

Mumbles saras in the heart.

In a different place, this morning juna and chayra have arrived at a new housing complex. Chayra was busy tidying up her belongings in her new room, while Juna this morning went straight to her office because of the work she had to do.

Chayra arranged the belongings of juna. Juna's suitcase is opened, but Chayra finds a jewelry box.

Chayra also ventured to open it. When the chayra found out the contents turned out to be a necklace with the letter A. The necklace he used to give to romance.

Is this a necklace belonging to romance? Why does juna keep it?

Chayra looked at the box and opened it. Chayra saw a ring.

Does this belong to romance too? Hmmm it turns out that kak juna has not been able to forget romance completely. Or maybe juna can't forget? Sis so you've been lying to me all this time??

Chayra was sitting on the edge of the bed, she just put her husband's suitcase. Chayra becomes lazy immediately after finding out there are some things belonging to romance in it.

But the feeling of laziness was pushed back, chayra moved from her seat and re-cleaned the juna stuff and then put it in the closet.

Not felt, all chayra cleaning activities have been completed. Starting from the room, kitchen, living room, and all corners of the room he has been settled. Although previously juna had hired ART services to help the chayra to repair their new home, the chayra still helped to repair it. Because what has been done by ART services is not in accordance with his wishes.

Chayra felt her body tired, she stepped onto the second floor where her room was. Chayra stretched her body until she fell asleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Juna was back from his office. Juna enters his new home, which turns out the front door is unlocked.

"Chay...." Juna called his wife but there was no word from the chayra.

"Chayra, brother's coming home..." Juna looked at the kitchen and family room but did not find the existence of the chayra.

"Maybe chayra's in the room."

Until Juna decided to go up to the second floor where their room is located. Juna opens the door to the room, and it turns out that the chayra is asleep in the bed.

Juna walked closer to the chayra and he sat on the edge of the bed looking closely at his wife's face.

Juna gently rubbed the smooth face of the chayra, to make the chayra wake up.

"Nobody's home yet?" With her voice, the chayra awoke to feel that someone was touching her face.

"He'll.. Why sleep chay afternoon? It'll make your body go weak.." Juna slipped a slightly messy strand of chayra hair behind the ear.

Chayra brushed off Juna's hand, until she tidied up her own hair. Juna who received the treatment of chayra was astonished. Chayra's never acted like this before.

"I'm gonna take a shower, sister.." Chayra got out of bed, but juna grabbed her hand.

"We took a bath together..." Juna looked at the clingy chayra, but the chayra released the handrails of the juna to him.

"I want to shower myself, sister." Chayra headed for the bathroom by walking a little quickly leaving the juna.

The attitude of chayra according to juna is not as usual. If the juna usually comes home, the chayra must kiss the back of the juna's hand. If juna teases her, the chayra will round her eyes or pinch her, but unlike today the chayra is just plain. Chayra's face was like being folded.

What's wrong with you chay? Did I do anything wrong?

Juna muttered in his heart.

"Bring my brother, I'll prepare dinner downstairs." Chayra came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a hairdryer.

Juna hugs his wife's body from behind, but the chayra releases her embrace from the juna.

"Chay what's wrong? Did I have anything wrong?" Ask juna to be curious.

"Bring your feet, your body must be sticky." Chayra just left juna for the kitchen.

Juna chattered until he decided to clean his body first.

Juna came down from the second floor, he saw that the chayra was ready to wait for him at the dinner table. Juna came by gently shuffling the chayra's hair, then peeping at the top of his head. However, Chayra was silent with a flat expression on her face.

"Darling, what's wrong with you? You're sick or...."

"Don't eat first, while it's warm." Chayra took some side dishes to the juna plate.

"Chay, if you act like this, I won't be able to eat..." Juna looked closely at the very flat face of the chayra in front of him.

"I'll change the food if you don't like it." Chayra was still with her flat face.

"I don't like the food. Chay, let's say if I have it wrong. Don't be like this." Juna felt increasingly wrong. The chayra continues to chew its food.

"Chayra, tonight there's a festival at mall xxxx get ready we'll go there." Juna tries to seduce the chayra with an invitation to go out.

"I'm tired, sister, I just want to rest at home." Chayra refused to accept juna.

"Em well, let's just rest at home." Juna immediately ate his food. But this time dinner juna felt awkward, an unusual dinner for juna. Chayra just kept folding her face.

After finishing dinner together, the chayra cleaned the dining table. He rushed to the room and went to bed.

Juna who was abandoned by the chayra also felt increasingly wrong. He was sure if anyone disturbed the mind of the chayra until he behaved like this.

Juna followed his wife to the room, where he saw the chayra making the bed and changing the bed sheet. Then Chayra sat down in front of her dresser. As usual, the chayra will use hair vitamins if it sleeps.

Juna who knew it immediately snatched the hair vitamin from the hands of the chayra. I mean juna, he's the one who's going to put that vitamin in his chayra hair.

But what did he get? Angry face and judges his wife who juna found. Making juna swallow his saliva feel more and more wrong when he got a horrified look from his wife.

"Darling, let me help you put this hair vitamin on?" Juna who was frightened by his wife's gaze also said softly.

"Hmmm, um,...." Chayra just took a deep breath. Then turn to the bed and lay his body against the juna.

Juna immediately followed his wife who he knew was crashing.

Juna lay down his body next to the chayra, he gently rubbed his wife's hair. The wife always smiled at him, but since coming home from the office he had not gotten a chayra smile.

"Chay, if any of my attitudes or actions hurt your feelings I'm sorry... I'm a normal human being, so sometimes I don't realize I've done anything wrong. I'm sorry..." Juna hugged his wife's body and then kissed the top of the chayra's head.

Chayra could still hear clearly what her husband was saying. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He does not want to argue with juna, because chayra is afraid if arguing then it will cause a fight between them.

I don't know why the heart of the chayra can not accept if the current juna still has feelings for romance. Though chayra knew very well before romance is a woman who preferred juna than himself. Chayra knows very well that Juna loves romance.

"Chay, I'm going to the study first. You rest..." Juna woke up from his sleep and walked away from the chayra to the study next to his room.

Several times Juna tried to keep thinking about the mistakes he had made on the chayra. But juna did not find it. Until the head of the juna feels heavy and more dizzy due to thinking about the chayra.

What ghost has disturbed my wife? Is it because it's a new house until the ghost bothers my wife. Argh... Chayra, what really happened to you....

After several hours of checking his work, until the clock shows ten o'clock at night. Juna felt his eyes hit by severe drowsiness so he chose to sleep in the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Juna did not find the existence of the chayra there. Juna looked for the chayra in the bathroom, but he did not find it.

"Chay..... Chayra...." Juna headed downstairs, looking for a chayra he was afraid that his wife would leave him.

"Darling... Where are...?" Juna finally found a chayra figure in the kitchen, a chayra standing up making warm chocolate.

Juna hugged his wife from behind, with a hunting breath for fear of losing the chayra, he continued to tightly hug the chayra's body.

"What's up, brother? What's going on?" Chayra, who was worried about her husband, opened her voice.

"Chay, don't leave me..." Juna said softly.

"I wouldn't have left you brother, if there wasn't a reason to make me go." Answer the chayra by holding the hand of the juna in his stomach.

"I'm afraid, if I say it wrong... I promise I won't do it again." Clearly juna with the body facing chayra towards him.

"Sister, you don't have any mistakes. My attitude is a little excessive. Let's go to sleep.." Chayra let go of her husband's embrace and broke off her intention to drink the warm chocolate she had made.

"Honey the warm chocolate....?"

"I'm tired, sister, I just want to sleep." Chayra left her husband by climbing the stairs to her room.

Juna followed his wife into the room, and laid her body next to the chayra.

"Darling, I want to hug you can?" Ask juna to chayra.

Chayra who felt increasingly upset was just silent without a sound. When did her husband ask her for permission? Usually, Juna will do anything to him without asking permission first.

"Chay....."

"I want to sleep, brother! I'm tired! I don't want to be disturbed!" With a slightly loud tone, the chayra pulled a blanket over her entire body.

Hearing the chayra's unusual tone, juna moved away from the chayra. He chose to sleep on the chayra's back which was already invisible because it turned its back and was perfectly covered by a blanket.

Juna can only be patient letting the chayra calm down first. If he continues to tease the chayra, juna is afraid that the chayra will get even more angry at him.

*I'm sorry chay, if I haven't been able to be the husband who always understands you. I'll try to be better.

To be continue*......
