Alvan flees the car as quickly as possible heading to the hospital to meet his beloved woman. Why does this feeling always flare up when you remember the name Citra. Where Karin used to be, not coming home a week Alvan did not feel lost. Alvan cuek duck sure Karin can protect themselves.
The traffic jam when people came home at office hours made Alvan feel imprisoned in the open space. Car creeps follow the vehicle that has crept first along the highway. Alvan massaged his chest to see the length of the car queue.
Alvan immediately pick up the phone call Citra if she's going to be a little late. Alvan becomes sensitive fearing the ill-minded image of him. This is due to the fear of losing the image once again.
Alvan mobile phone connected with Citra mobile phone. From across the street came the answer call.
"Assalamualaikum..."
"Waalaikumsalam.sorry dear! It's stuck in traffic!"
"Oh...mas is still far away? Or I'll just go home with an online motorcycle! Go straight to the house so don't have to go around."
"Such a taxi driver. Near my wife! Can't be.later the motorcycle taxi guy falls in love with you!"
The image couldn't stand the laughter of seeing how ridiculous Alvan was. If a motorcycle taxi driver falls in love with a customer, it means one day how many times he falls in love.
"Sort of like this! Ojek do not have a mountain of love. Every customer should fall in love."
"Not all girls are as pretty as you! I'm sure he'll flirt with you!"
"Basic of jealousy! I'll just wait there! Be careful not to let his wife grow mushrooms waiting for the frog prince to come for you."
"His name is also the prince of frogs, jumping slowly but surely comes. Sit sweet inside don't get wind! Ntar got wind."
"Yes mas! Focus on the road.don't lyric left right look smooth thighs! The eye of the stye later! By assalamualaikum"
"Goddessalam.."
Alvan relieved Citra understanding. Try if Citra is childish. Alvan's hair is falling like a hero in the battlefield. Alvan saves shampoo because the head has been drizzled free of hair.
It took an hour for the new Alvan to reach Citra's place of duty. The struggle to pick up a wife became a test of patience Alvan. Just picking up a wife but like just released from the ambush of dozens of enemies in the war arena. Struggling struggle.
Alvan parked the car down looking for Citra. If Alvan only calls for Citra to come to the parking lot does not show sincere intentions towards the wife. The pick up should come out of the heart straight to the spot.
Alvan found Citra sitting dumbstruck among hospital visitors. From far away Alvan seemed to see a perfectly sculpted statue. Body silhouette Image emits bright light due to the bias of lights that light up above the ceiling.
Alvan stop step staring at the beautiful sight caught eyes. Natural scenery without artificial pose engineering.
Alvan awakens after a young child accidentally bumps into Alvan. Alvan's legs shifted backwards as a result of the indoor collision. It was not Alvan who fell but the boy fell to the floor.
Alvan lowered his body helping the boy stand up. The boy stared at Alvan fearfully knowing he was wrong to have been running around on the slippery hospital floor. Alvan developed a smile so that the boy would not be afraid. Alvan remembered the children who were deep in the eyes. Her three children had flown far away in search of entertainment.
"You okay, son?" asked Alvan softly.
"I'm sorry om! Candra was not intentional."
Alvan's hand stretched out rubbing the boy's head. The child's face was no longer tense and received a delicate treatment from Alvan.
"What's wrong.You're alone here? Where are your parents?"
"Mama is taking medicine. I was told to wait here!"
"Where are you?"
"Papa's gone with another aunt. Mama got sick because papa left" said it plain. The boy's words pinched Alvan's heart ached. Alvan was sad to hear the story of this boy.
It turns out this is the fate of children abandoned by the father. Holding sorrow doesn't know who to complain to. To a stranger like himself, the boy immediately revealed the chronology of why he walked alone.
How Citra is dealing with all this alone. With three children anyway. Everything he faced alone. Alvan is getting guilty on Citra. How hundreds of years Alvan had to contemplate the new mistake paid off all the suffering of Citra. What he's doing right now hasn't been a little bit of guilt.
"Let's take it to your mama!Don't run around in the hospital! It will fall again!"
"That's mama!" the child pointed at a woman who had come up to them in a hurry.
"I'm sorry.sorry..my child is troublesome yes!" the woman apologized even though she did not know what happened.
"Oh no. I'm just surprised this kid is alone in the hospital!" sahut Alvan friendly.
"Yes.I took the medicine earlier! Thank you for taking care of my son. We're sorry." the woman holding her son passed from Alvan's presence.
The boy waved at Alvan's reply with a wave as well. Honestly Alvan was concerned about the situation of the woman. Implied sorrow in the eyes but he tried hard. Alvan learned a new lesson from this little incident.
The greed of a man hurts many people. Just because of the bad nature of a guy drowning a ship. The man gets pseudo happiness while the destroyer is happy on top of people's suffering. The most suffering of course women are dumped and children.
Alvan swore will not two Citra even if there is an angel down from a special kahyangan meet Alvan. Heart disease must be eliminated so that there is no word of sorrow.
Alvan stepped steadily closer to the woman who had waited long enough. If not in a public place Alvan wants to embrace Citra tightly expressing infinite regret. Here Alvan can only hold the hand of Citra taking him out of the boredom of waiting.
The image that does not understand anything just manut brought Alvan to where.Ke anywhere go no matter the origin with the person we expect to carve the word home sweet home.
Both left the hospital and went home. Today Citra must be very tired of doing surgery long enough. Alvan's plan to invite Citra to watch must be saved first.
Rest is the right word for image. Tonight Alvan promised himself to spoil Citra. Whatever the wishes of Citra is the word that must be implemented.
Bik Ani and Iyem had already cooked for the two of them. Cuisine is now simpler because the only people who eat Alvan and Citra. No need to cook before.
At eightpm Alvan received a call from Heru saying they were already in Beijing. All went well thanks to Azzam's ingenuity taking care of them through all the procedures of entering the country. Azzam seemed to understand where to report. He was proud of his grandson.
Citra and Alvan breathed a sigh of relief in regards to the landing of their large family in a place far in the eyes. Azzam and Afifa were happily reunited with their twin brothers.
Citra invites Alvan to enjoy soul-soothing tea before laying down on the mattress to meet dreams. Citra has long not rilex taste his favorite drink. The young couple drank tea while watching TV in the living room. This activity they hardly ever do since meeting until now.
"Mas...if we go to Beijing how is the company?"
"I believe in Profit and Andi. For the project I close first until we return. I don't want our time to be interrupted. We should use this holiday to unite our hearts."
"Mas sure you can leave it to Untung and Andi?"
"God willing..You have an urgent patient?"
"The patient cannot be predicted. Today there is no mungin tomorrow. It hurts we can't foresee."
Alvan laughs at the truth Citra said. Any pain can be foreseen except a lie.
"You're right...Oya..gimana mama's health? Any reports from the doctor there?"
"So far it's safe. Just need physiotherapy. Surgery may not be necessary anymore. Mama just can't make a full recovery like she did before. He still has his flaws. If papa can recover completely just have to take care not to get a second stroke."
"If they come back here can they stay with us?"
The image fell silent for a moment not immediately answering. Image does not mind at all just fearing children can not get along with their Oma. The Goddess is too selfish to win by herself. The image is only worried about Azzam and Afisa.
"I don't mind, but what about Azzam? I'm afraid he's fighting with his omana. It'll have a devastating effect on his health."
Alvan understands the worry of Citra. Alvan acknowledges Azzam's strange nature. Children are not easy to accept strangers, especially those who like to make trouble. Alvan himself was repeatedly involved in conflicts with his son.
"We can't leave papa and mama unattended."
"I don't mind living with my parents. It can come if there's free time."
Alvan flicked his forehead Citra did not like his wife to give unreasonable input. Where there are couples stay separated. It's the same as separating the bed. Alvan wants every second to see Citra. If you need to buy a cloth sling tie Citra in a sling so as not to separate.
"You want to split again? Ogah.I must buy sleeping pills! I can't sleep without you."
"When do you have insomnia?"
"Not yet.if we split guarantee insomnia! Don't you pity to see a dazed husband think of a heart adoration?"
The image of pinching Alvan's waist was amused seduced this night. Alvan is not kelit let Citra do as she pleases. Finger clasps The image where there is felt in the thick skin of Alvan. It's like a little crab.
"Two-old-callies.."
"The older the older the more. Aren't you?" gurau Alvan connect with Citra plugs.
Fingers Citra back into action with clasps firmer. This time Alvan complained of pain because the pinch landed on the stomach.
"sickness..."
"That's a gift for a sambet jinn pervert!"
"Cabul but likes it, right?"
The image of passing face covered the puffiness of Alvan. The attitude of Citra still there shy cat. There are three tails. Still ashamed of Alvan.
"Mas..Wasn't Karin any news at all? I'm afraid something happened to her. When do we go see him?"
Alvan pererat hugs weigh open divorce her with Karin or not. Citra is ready to hear the sad ending story between him and Karin.
"Darling.what if Karin found happiness in the pesantren. He found someone who could understand him. What should I do?"
The image turned his head staring at Alvan listening to what Alvan's goal was. Did Citra miss something from Karin's story?
"Mas mean?"
"Sunday has found a person who matches him that is Ustad Syahdan. They feel the same fate as weaving the days ahead. Should I keep him from lamenting a day without a future?"
"We have no right to ban him! Karin deserves a second chance. Maybe so she'll be healthy."
"Yes, I also think that then I make the decision to free him to seek the happiness he craves."
"Lateness?"
"His seikhlasnya.mas cannot bind Karin without being able to give her what she wants. Mas already divorced him witnessed the end of the Shahdan. After Iddah they will get married." Alvan blunt though do not know how the reaction of Citra.
Alvan felt Citra's fingernails stick in his flesh. Sick but Alvan was silent not screaming in pain. Alvan knows the reaction of Citra is not trivial. His wife is sure to be shocked that Alvan has divorced Karin when she needs medical expenses. Karin disease costs not a little because every day must consume drugs. What if Alvan stops Karin's help. His age is on the edge of the horn..
"Mas..why not discuss first?" ask Citra with a vibrating voice.
"Today forced because he wanted to be quickly memorized. I even said wait for me to be there with you but she refused. I can't help him celebrate his happy day."
"How is he treated?"
"Mas has an appointment every month to help the medical costs of all students there. Not only Karin we help but all the people there. Mas has also transferred a little money to Karin as a handle. The house he had left to Azzam while the jewelry he gave to Afifa. It showed Karin's good intentions. He said he didn't need any more of that. He just needs peace. He's sorry for you too!"
The image is very sad to remember the fate of Karin. From a top slumped in a pool of disease. What pride can the woman display again. While there he forgot the land, drunk in sin. Now there is only one breath left when it stops.
The image of laying his head in Alvan's arms. This time Alvan has acted correctly when everything Alvan tells is in accordance with facts. Alvan cannot take Karin's day of peace.
"Is Brother Karin happy now?" ask Citra while hearing Alvan's regular heartbeat rhythm. No heartbeat means the owner of the heart is not keeping a lie.
The heart of a lying person will beat faster triggered by nervousness. Alvan's heart was beating quietly for Citra to be a little relieved.
