The air this afternoon was cold. So cold felt to the skin pores. Dira pulls the blanket. Congenital pregnancy makes it often sleepy especially with the cold air piercing the bone.
This cold air effects one week Jakarta in the rain that never stops. It was raining at dawn, it was still raining late in the afternoon. Every now and then, looking to the side, the bed was empty as it was only her own in the room.
"Mas Juna isn't home yet, is he?" ask her in your heart.
Dira had wanted to contact Juna who said there was a meeting with his client. Still connected with the position as the boss of the tea factory in Lembang. As a wife she can only support what her husband will do.
But what made Dira bullied her husband did not go alone, but with Maria, his secretary. Arjuna said, Tio was originally going to accompany him. But because Ayu did not want to stay, Mary was the one who replaced her.
Dira took off the blanket, then came down the stairs. He saw the house so quiet. There's nobody there. Dira opens Vira's room. Since Dira came home, Vira again occupied her old room. While Dira and Juna's house is now contracted.
Vira's not in place either. Dira guesses that Vira hasn't come home from college. The wall clock in Vira's room. Still showing at 4pm. But why does the sister not come home when it is rainy season.
ting tong's...
The sound of the house bell ringing. Dira casually walked towards the main door. He also wondered who came to his house this afternoon. Before opening the door, Dira sees her guest on the monitor.
"Delia?" inner Dira.
"Tumben he's here, what's wrong?" still in deep.
Dira opened the door. He might welcome his guests. It turns out Delia is not alone. He's with Rian.
"More..." Delia hugged her best friend.
"How are you, Del?"
"Good alhamdulillah, how did your lecture, Ra. Said you took the S2 at a private college, huh? why not take the country." Delia continued to scatter while entering the house without the homeowner's instructions.
Dira looked towards Rian. As if asking for an explanation for Delia's attitude.
"Let me explain" whispered Rian.
"Bus, ..." Delia stood there as her net stopped on a large photo.
"Yes,.."
"So you and brother Juna ..." Delia held her chest. It feels so bad to see that photo. Like a dagger that stabbed him many times.
"Don't you know?" Dira still does not understand what happened to Delia. Why Delia questioned her marriage to Arjuna.
"Bi, ..." call Dira.
"Yes, non." replied the aunt
"Please make them a drink?"
"Good, non."
"One more time, Bi. please make it in the corned beef. Again to this?"
"How to do it, non. Isn't it non Dira who often makes dimsum?"
"Auntie knows, just go in the kitchen I'm nauseous. How do you cook it."
"Oh, this lanang." aunt giggled at Dira's complaint from her cravings.
"Can we talk?" Rian had just been a goat-loving congek between Dira and the aunt.
Rian and Dira sat on the porch of the house. While waiting for the aunt to bring snacks for her guests.
"Please explain to me why Delia is like that. He acted as if he was single. What happened, Rian?" Dira sat down facing Rian.
"Previously sorry if my arrival and Delia interfere with your activities. This was because Delia only remembered what happened a few years ago. He even asked me why he lived with me, even asked his parents."
"Delia's got...." Rian tried to catch his breath.
"Alzheimer's." she continued.
Dira clenched both of his hands. Surprised by what his best friend had. There is empathy he feels. Dira looked at Delia who was engrossed in seeing the flower garden belonging to the mother Goddess.
"Where is the Goddess, Ra?" tanya Delia who mingled with Rian and Dira.
"Mama went with Brother Feri. Tonight Feri's sister wants to propose to Mayka, Meyra's sister." explained Dira.
"Loh, it's polygamy dong. Marriage of two brothers."
"Del, Sister Meyra died five years ago."
"Well, why aren't you? Eka and Ayu did not tell the story either. How the hell are you guys the same I'm not telling you this."
"Oh yes, Eka has married yet to Wandi. You know Eka was once in a match with my sister."
"They're married, Ra. I even have children." replied Dira.
"Well, they got married and didn't tell me. If I knew I'd be able to get home from London."
"You too, Ra. Why didn't you say that you were married to Juna. Why do you stab me in the back, Ra. You know that I..."
"Before I married Brother Juna, you were married to Rian, Del. So why is Juna waiting for a married woman. Before you married Rian, you broke up." Dira's voice sounded out loud.
"Dira!" Rian doesn't like the way Dira talks to his wife.
"Sorry, Rian. I speak like this as a wife who wants to protect her household. You know that Delia is obsessed with my husband. So naturally I reminded Delia of her current position."
"But Delia was sick. So please understand."
Dira smiled wryly. Disease can be a defense. Dira shakes. He disagreed with Rian's short thinking.
"I also ask for your understanding, Rian. If Delia is sick, you should try to treat her illness. Not following his wishes. You are the husband, the head of the household. You should have guided Delia. Not following his wishes."
"I'm not sick, though,.Thira. I'm healthy, why do you say I'm sick." Delia mediates a heated conversation between Rian and Dira.
"Now I ask you to get out of the house. Please please me." Dira felt his head slightly dizzy.
"Rian, it looks like Dira is very pale. Please help her" Delia said.
Dira finds it hard to continue on his path. Rian immediately lifted Dira's body and took her to the room.
"Non Dira why?" Aunty was shocked to see Dira in the carrying.
"But Dira why? what are you doing to my brother." vira's voice sounded out loud looking at the two people he hated.
"What did you guys do to my brother?" Vira repeated her words.
"Now I'm asking you to get out of here. Before my patience runs out. You can do this with my brother. Especially you Miss Delia, it's still a good thing my sister didn't sue you to go to jail. Because everything my brother has been through is the mastermind." - Vira.
"What do you mean?" Delia was confused as to why she was being blamed.
"Vira... Vira .. please I'll explain later." Rian tried to calm Vira down already emotionally.
Rian pulled Vira away from Delia. Of course he will explain about the disease suffered by his wife.
After explaining to Vira, Rian apologizes to Vira.
"Whatever the illness, it's not the reason you hurt others. And I'm sorry, I'm asking you to leave this house right now."
