The Malang Widow
The return of Deri to the hometown



A month passed after Deri resigned from his company, now arrived that he had completely left his workplace. I'm glad to hear it, because it means our wedding preparations are coming closer. But on the other hand I was sad because I had to part temporarily with him because he had to return to his hometown.


The days before his departure I would have spent with him alone, nothing was missed without him. He hardly ever sleeps on his contract again, he prefers to stay at my place so that he can stay close to me. And I'm used to it too. Plus, Deri goods have begun to be packed to be taken to his hometown when he returns later, of course, making his room room is not conducive to occupying.


"Flower, not peratiin from yesterday you eat weird mulu mulu like a craving people?" ask one of my friends at work.


"Ah, cook anyway, ordinary kog, you can't if I eat what I want?" I went back a little bit of astonishment.


"Yes but strange kayak not usually anyway, then eat a young mango that is still really cool, now eat chocolate chips sambel super pedes you do not gabble like usual, kayak usually, since when have you been hooked? that again, you simpen raw metic guava in the hospital park, why try hayo?". Ask her again as if she were suspicious of me.


"Ah, cook yes I'm pregnant, is it possible? but I'm not late for my period yet". I murmured in a worried heart as well.


"Ah you are there - aja deh, husband aja no mosok want to crav ama sapa? am I an angkot driver? hahaha" I'm obviously evasive.


"Hahaha yes the same angkot driver that you usually use to make it to the market!" Said he was mocking me because he never knew I had a girlfriend.


All this time I never once told about Deri with my coworkers, because I tend to be a closed person since many problems in my life. Therefore, what they know during my time in this city I always go everywhere to ride an angkot. Though I always escorted Deri wherever I went.


Although the guyonan with my friend earlier made me a little anxious, but soon I patis and try not to think strange about it. Because I myself do not feel there is anything strange or strange, let alone my menstrual schedule is not at all late. I'm just focused on preparing for Deri's return to his village. Because for a while I had to hold on to myself here before he came to pick me up. Of course I will feel very lonely and try to adapt first.


This afternoon after work, I also helped Deri pack the things he would bring home. One by one the furniture was put in cardboard neatly. Some of the things he also gave me.


"Why is everything in order? kog, you don't want to come back here?" many wonder.


"Since yesterday I said, after we get married we will not stay here anymore, so I settle everything, I take it home also to prepare tomorrow if we live at home in our village". It definitely convinced me.


"Owh, yes also all of them are reprimanded" said my unsuspecting although previously anxious.


That day before Deri came home the next day, we took the time to go for a walk together to spend the rest of my time with her. That night in the star garden where he first took me on a date night, Deri hugged me warmly from behind me while pointing at the beautiful stars. I was fascinated as if I did not want to let go. It is my heart as if it does not want him far away and does not want to hold back longing.


"Deri, I will surely miss you" I said while enjoying the warm warm warm warm warm warm warm.


"You can be loyal as long as you're away from me?" I'm a little suspicious.


"Darling, how did you say that? who am I cheating on? I'm coming home because I want to prepare our marriage, mosok want weird?" Obviously he convinced me.


"Well, if you know you're going to turn back your ex" I said as I turned to him.


"He's married, and I don't like you talking about him, you know?" obviously Dei was holding my face with both hands and seemed to dislike my words.


"Yes I promise I won't talk about it again, sorry" I replied, who was then struck with a warm kiss by Deri.


The next day, Deri rushed to prepare himself to immediately go home. A pick-up car transports all the items that have been packaged in the contract Deri. Along with a driver and his kernet, he helped transport his belongings to the car. Likewise with me who did not forget to enthusiastically help transport goods that are light in weight.


After all the goods had been transported and the car had come a long way, we returned to my contract, and now Deri had completely given up her contract and had returned the key to the owner.


Warm embrace ceaselessly he released from my body that soon parting will come. The taste of haru enveloped that moment. I didn't even feel my tears falling on my cheeks.


"You don't feel sad, I'll be a nagist" said Deri while wiping my tears and immediately carrying my body into my room.


"Deri???" I wondered at him who saw he was going to do something to me like that on the night of the curse.


"stttt I want to make a last memory for you, plis you don't refuse" whispered Deri who held both hands held him on my bed.


I who have no power to resist can only resign, because for the last time before we parted for a long time not until my heart rejected it. All I know is maybe this is the last time he's done that to me, after this me and Deri will actually be legally married.


Tidy up my clothes and ruffled hair. Likewise with Deri, he immediately put his jacket and shoes on sign that he will soon leave for his hometown.


I who was standing in front of the door looked at him with tears that were unceasingly melting saw him start his motorbike. I wave my hand a sign of letting go. A smile from her slightly helmet-covered lips accompanied my last look at her at that time.


"I love you......" I said that sentence to release the departure of Deri who was increasingly visible away.
