The Heart (Nadira)

Episode 103's

The taxi that Dira was riding in arrived at the house almost at eight p.m. The condition of the capital's streets is very jammed because tonight is mingu night. Dira opens the door of the house that is unlocked, as she passes through the living room of her in shock with Alby who is waiting for her there.

" Where are you from, honey. Why did you just come home at this hour? I'm worried about you."

Said Alby who immediately hugged Dira, when Dira in front of him. Dira quickly let go of Alby's embrace, even slightly pushing him.

" Don't hug.We're not husband and wife anymore."

Said cold. Then Dira stepped into his room. Alby mende*his breathing. It felt choked when Dira said so coldly. Thirty minutes later, Dira came out of her room, and headed for the dining room. Without seeing Alby who is still sitting in the family room.

Dira started cooking dinner for himself. Tonight Dira really wants to eat chicken. Before long Mbok kasum also came to approach.

" Neng, let the Mbok cook. What would Neng eat?"

" It's not, Mbok. Dira again wants to cook. Let Dira cook for herself Mbok."

Refuse it with a smile. Mbok Kasum also looked towards Alby who was now approaching towards the kitchen. Alby nodded his head, as a sign asking kasum mbok to return to his room.

Dira just fry the chicken, then make sambel with his own creation. After Dira finished taking the rice in the rice cooker and began to eat it. Alby sat next to her, but Dira did not care.

Alby watched Dira who was eating her food. After Dira was finished, Dira went back to the kitchen and cleaned the container. Then Dira walked back to his room. But Alby's voice stopped his steps.

" Dira, can we talk?"

Dira stopped in place, and Alby approached him. Dira was silent, as Alby led her to sit in the living room.

Dira glanced at Alby. Then look straight ahead.

" It's better, you slap, you maki, or you hit than you keep silent mas."

Dira looked towards Alby.

" Is this what you want to talk about, Mom? If only this, I would like to remind you, that we are currently strangers. We have no ties. So it's not normal, if we don't get along with each other? And remember, Mas. I'm not asking to stay in this house. If you mind my attitude, I'll be out tonight. "

Dira spoke, then moved from his seat. And heading to the room. But Alby's hand stopped him.

" I'm sorry. Not mas objection, it's just, mas feel you are not the Dira you know first. "

Dira laughed cynically.

" The old Dira, it's gone. She was overwhelmed by the pain she had received from her husband's betrayal. Who died for his folly loved the man who never loved him."

Dira paused his speech.

" I don't know when I'll be here. But one thing you should know, with or without the permission of the mas, someday I will go, if this pain is not able to bear."

Then Dira went into his room. Dira breathes into the air. Trying to get rid of the tears that will come out. Dira also caressed his stomach which began to bulge.

" Don't be afraid, Deck. Mother will always take care of Adek, even without Dad."
