The Light of ANAS

She's Gone....

“Kok came back, say_____ ”, how shocked Naz was to see the person holding his hand, which made him not continue his words. He tried to let go of his hand violently, but the man held Naz's hand tightly.

“Let go,,,!!”, Naz revolted by giving a sharp look at that person who finally let go of Naz's hand.

“Why are you so arrogant anyway, Naz? on campus too you kept avoiding me.. ”, That person feels the change Naz used to know is friendly.

“I only limit myself to not getting along with men”, Naz brought up the reason and then lowered his head.

“But why, weren't we friends before?", the guy seemed still curious about Naz.

“Because I have _____ “, Not finished Naz speaking, suddenly there is a voice that cuts his words.

“Bisma,, !!“, someone called the man and approached him, he turned to Naz, “Who is this beautiful girl? Your girlfriend yes, Bisma?”, he asked with a bright smile, as if glad his son had a close female friend.

“Not Aunty...”, Naz immediately denied it.

“This is Rheanazwa, Ma ,,, Nanaz who used to be with me, he's my underclassman, and now he's my underclassman at campus”, too, the man named Bhishma explained to his mother.

The mother remembered, “Oh,, this is Nanaz yes,, what's up?”, he said then shaking hands and chips with Naz.

“Alhamdulillah,, well Aunt,, Aunt herself how are you?”, Naz was friendly to his mother Bhishma.

“Yes this is how well and getting older,,, hehehe, you pangling really yes, now curusan ya,,, hehehe,, in the past when he was still in SD was often called bolo-bolo with your friends”, He seems to remember very well that Naz was fat.

“And Brother Arsen will scold those who ngatain Naz like that, Ma”, Bhishma who saw Naz being friendly to his mother join nimbrung, hoping Naz will be friendly to him too.

“Yes, you also like the Nanaz belain, because you also used to be the same bongsor,,, hahaha, and it turns out quietly you like Nanaz, too, until you write a love letter to Nanaz kan”, it turns out that even her mother Bhishma knows it and it makes Naz feel embarrassed and upset.

“Mama what the heck,, shame would be if the discussion was”, said Bisma who did not stop looking at Naz who continued to subordinate his gaze.

“It was shame, because at that time you were rejected, and you even said Nanaz had a fart until his Opa was angry with you, hahaa,,,”, his mother Bisma instead laughed at her son.

“Udah deh Ma,, do not discuss the embarrassing thing again”, Bhishma feel embarrassed.

“But now you have met again, and one more campus, who knows if this is a sign that you are a match, Bisma is still single..”, to promote the child.

“Mama has a single child who is wearing announced everything,,,”, said someone who just approached them from the back of Naz, who turned out that person came with Arfin.

“Include Ma, this is Mr. Al Arifin whose company recently cooperated with our company”, he said introducing.

Hearing the name of her husband called, Naz immediately turned her body, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief because finally she could avoid the excitement of her mother Bhishma who seemed to try to bring herself closer to Bhishma.

Arfin approached and stood beside Naz, he extended his hand to shake hands with his mother, they shook hands, and he also greeted Bhishma.

“Arfin,,,”, he said introduce himself, then he wrapped his hands around Naz's waist, he said,

“And this is my wife, Rheanazwa”, she also introduced Naz and then it made the mother and child surprised.

“Wife..??”, ask the two simultaneously.

“Yes, Naz is my wife, and now she is pregnant with our child”, he said again and stroked his wife.

“Mama was surprised that anyway,, Mr. Al Arifin is indeed married, and he also invited us to their wedding, just then we were unable to attend,,, and he also invited us to their wedding,, it was represented by Zidan and his wife”, said he who saw the expression of his wife and child, then he set his eyes on Naz,

“I Pandri, his business partner Pak Al. “, he also introduced himself and reached out to Naz, then Naz saluted him while commenting on a smile and nodding his head.

“Oh, so Mr. Al Arifin married Rheanazwa this anyway, but Mami read in his invitation first his parents name Razan and Rahmi if not wrong, then, instead of Naz's son Rizal the same doctor Anita”, he felt astonished and confused.

“They are my biological parents, Aunty, right my SD friends on knowing that I am Rizal's adoptive son with Mother Anita”, Naz gave an explanation.

“Oh, pantesan,, “, His mother Bhishma nodded her head, while the still-shocked Bhishma remained silent, and Arfin gave a cynical look at her.

“Kok Mama knows that his wife Pak Al Arifin is his son doctor Rizal?”, Mr Pandri was surprised.

“Loh kan Nanaz was once one Elementary School with Bhishma, she is her underclassman Bisma, even now they are one campus, Pa ", Bisma's mother again explained.

“The talk is about to start, let's sit “, Mr. Pandri who heard the voice of the MC who was about to open the event also invited to sit down.

“Iya, sir, my colleagues are waiting at the table there, excuse me, sir, “, Arfin walked with his wife to the table occupied by his officemate, Lutfi, , Dilara and Om Aji.

During the party Arfin seemed silent not to talk much, if asked to answer as necessary, and if no one invited to talk would be silent, just be quiet, the four people at the table had something to talk about.

The look on her face was filled with annoyance, Naz who realized it was afraid that Arfin had heard what her mother Bhishma was talking about, and she was afraid that her husband would misunderstand her. There was a sense of regret that she felt, because she was not frank from the beginning on her husband about the man named Bhishma.

Just half an hour sitting there, Arfin invited Naz home on the grounds of not wanting to go home too late considering his pregnant wife. He did not have time to say goodbye to Mr. Pandri, just send a message to his colleagues if he and his wife go home first.

During the trip Arfin only concentration drive, remain silent a thousand languages. Naz did not dare to start the conversation, fearing that she would make her husband angry.

Just as he came out, Arfin who was holding Naz's phone immediately gave a sharp look. Naz then stepped closer to the bed, then he sat on the edge of the bed.

“Who is that man?”, Arfin started interrogating his wife.

“Who did Aa mean?”, Naz replied nervously, as if his hunch had come true.

“What is that man who paid for your food the other day because your wallet was left at home?”, Arfin who seemed to hold back anger, still talking as usual.

Naz lowered his head,”Iya,, “.

Arfin snorted dejectedly, “So that man was the one who used to give you love letters??", he asked again.

Naz held his head up, "Yeah, yes, but that was when he was still in SD, and just playing around, not really, A", Naz tried to explain.

" Why then aren't you being frank about that guy? you said you didn't know him? Is this what caused you to insist on joining ospek even though I have forbidden you? Is it because of her huh?”, Arfin began to raise his tone.

“Eng that's not the case, Aa misunderstood,,, I didn't know at all that he was studying at the same campus as ku”, Naz started to get scared and kept trying to explain.

“And after you found out she's on campus with you, you hid your married identity and even got pregnant, right?”, Arfin grew furious.

“Eng did not, i____ “, Naz has not finished continuing his words because he felt tight in his chest hearing her husband's accusations.

“If not , why was she so surprised when I said you were my wife?”, Arfin continued to raise her tone of voice.

”Hehh, Even his mother who seems very familiar with you until she says that you are a match because now reunited,,”, Arfin still holds back his anger.

“Aa misunderstood,, I have nothing to do with him,, ", Naz kept trying to explain with glassy eyes.

“I'm not deaf !!! I really heard clearly the man's mother said that to you guys !!”, Arfin shouted at Naz. with a loud roar of breath,

“I allow you to go to college to fulfill my promise to you and your parents, so that you can achieve what you aspire to, not to be petty or to have an affair with another man,,,,, that is,,, are you not aware that you already have a husband even now that you are pregnant,, have you forgotten that huh??”, Arfin kept yelling.

Arfin showed her Naz's phone, “And this, throughout the journey you kept laughing cheerfully while chatting with your three best friends, who turned out to be talking about the man, aren't you shy about discussing other men with your three best friends, while me, your husband is sitting next to you, huhh???”.Arfin again shouted at Naz who had been shed by tears, he was completely blinded by jealous flames.

“Arghhhh,,,,”, Arfin threw Naz's phone to bed. Naz, who was crying, closed his eyes by putting his hands on his stomach for fear that the phone would be thrown at him.

When he saw Naz crying while holding his stomach, he realized that he had yelled at the woman who was carrying his child. Arfin rubbed his head, then went out of the room by slamming the door, while Naz continued to cry.

Before long the sound of a car was heard, and it seemed that Arfin went out to calm down either to meet the man named Bhishma.

At midnight Arfin had just returned, he did not go into his room, even to just see the state of his wife, he was lying on the sofa in the living room until he fell asleep without changing his clothes.

**

The next day Arfin awoke at dawn, he got up and walked to his room, whether his consciousness had not been collected, whether he forgot that he was angry with his wife, he just went in.

Turned on the room lights, seen his bed looks neat, he did not see the whereabouts of his wife there and only his cell phone, may have been cleared he thought. He took a towel and went to the bathroom.

After taking a bath he opened the closet to pick up clothes, he felt something strange, then after getting dressed and praying, he walked out to the kitchen while circulating his gaze in all directions.

“Mbak, please make lemon tea hot ya”, he said then he went to the dining room and sat there.

“Nggih, Den”, Ms Retno immediately carry out the orders of her employer.

Before long Maak Retno came to bring the drink that Arfin asked for and then presented it to the employer. Arfin picked up the glass and immediately sipped the quasi-hot warm lemon tea on his order.

“Nona kok tumben not yet out of the room, usually at this hour have asked to make food stuffing before breakfast, he said that the morning abis sleeping again afraid of misfortune to his campus", Retno's mother questioned Naz who had not seen his whereabouts.

“What?? She hasn't left the room??”, Arfin was surprised to hear her.

“Not Den..”, Ma'am Retno shook her head.

Arfin got up and rushed to his room, looking for Naz in the room or in the bathroom, but could not find him, and there was only Naz's cell phone on the bed. He went out looking into all the empty rooms in the house, still not finding them. He remembered that when he had opened the wardrobe, he went back to his room and saw the contents of the closet, and Naz's suitcase was not there and Naz's clothes seemed to be reduced than before.

Arfin rubbed his head rough, his body suddenly felt limp, he dropped himself to the floor, he said,

“He went,,,.”.lirihnya who is now sitting on the floor, a sense of regret that is so deep now felt, he felt, he only realized that last night he had gotten out of control scolding his wife for burning jealous flames.
