The Story of Dara

CHAPTERS 17. Irritation

"Sarah is getting married next week Ra, and today I have been dumped with him" said Erfan Lirih, making his feelings back tight and then pursed his lips to hold back the tears so as not to fall."

The palm of Dara's right hand reflex closed her gaping mouth in shock.

"Why? how can you?"

Erfan opened his mouth, "Because of the matchmaking, just like us," Erfan said as he turned to Dara, "funny isn't it?"

Dara just silently did not answer, she was still lucky even though she was married but still able to be with God, different from Erfan.

"Truly matchmaking has succeeded in playing with the feelings of people," said Erfan clenched his hands on the thighs.

Dara touched Erfan's clenched right hand, carried in his lap, rubbed gently hoping to reduce the emotions that existed in her husband.

"Maybe Sarah's not Mas Erfan's soul mate." Dara looked into Erfan's eyes.

"Mas Erfan should be happy even without Sarah."

"You know Ra how much I love him? even I was willing to let Papa down for divorcing you later for the sake of staying with him."

"I know Mas, but the soul mate is in the hands of God not in the hands of love, be assured God will certainly give the best soul mate, because you are a good man Mas."

"Do you think I'm a good man Ra?"

"Emmmmmm a little bit" said Dara closing one eye and raising her hand to make a thumb code under the index finger.

"You are Ra," said Erfan, gently jerking his hand in Dara's lap.

Dara chuckled, "Yes yes Mas, although sometimes Mas Erfan's attitude is as cold as ice cubes but I'm sure Mas Erfan is a good person," said Dara while gently patting Erfan's hand.

"Just you?" erfan glanced at Dara.

"No, I'm serious" said Dara smiling.

" It's late Mas, Mas Erfan must rest keep the condition so as not to hurt, and I beg you not to do silly things again like that," said Dara while lowering Erfan's hand slowly on the mattress.

Erfan smiled as he laid his body on the bed.

"Are you worried about me Ra?" erfan looked at Dara.

"Yes must be worried Mas, if Mas Erfan why-why how do I answer to Papa?" said Dara while pulling the blanket up to Erfan's chest.

Erfan only let out a light sigh, for some reason he was a little disappointed by Dara's reply.

"Do you want me to lower my AC temperature?"

Erfan nodded his head slowly, Dara immediately took the AC remote that was above the nightstand and pressed several times the arrow keys up to shrink the AC temperature.

"I go to the room first Mas, if need be anything Mas Erfan can call me."

Erfan nodded his head before closing his eyes trying to sleep, a feeling that had been very tight slowly began to unravel due to the presence of Dara.

Dara stood up from her seat and turned off Erfan's room light switch replacing it with a sleeping light before going to her room.

****

Dara's late morning prayers took Erfan's dirty clothes in the basket, combined them with his dirty clothes and put them all in the washing machine. After finishing washing clothes and drying them, Dara immediately took the wallet and cell phone in her room.

Today Dara wants to buy chicken porridge in the food court of the apartment on the first floor for breakfast menu because the food supply in the refrigerator has been exhausted.

"Wrap chicken porridge two yes sir," said Dara while sitting in the chair that has been provided.

"Yes mbk," said the chicken porridge seller.

Trrrttttt voice vibrating mobile phone from earlier in the hand Dara reads, Erfan name seen on the screen.

"Hello Mas."

"Where are you, Ra?"

"I bought chicken porridge under Mas, sorry I didn't say goodbye."

"Okay, be careful Ra" Erfan said before closing the call.

"This is the porridge," said the porridge seller while giving two packs of porridge orders Dara.

"Thank you sir" said Dara, giving the money.

Dara immediately put the porridge she bought on the dining table, then went to the kitchen to make her husband a glass of ginger tea.

"Have Ra come? got congee?" erfan asked just out of the room and then sat down at the dining table.

"It's already mas," said Dara while carrying a slice of ginger tea. "Lo mas Erfan, aren't you ready for work?" dara asked when she saw her husband still wearing t-shirts and shorts.

"I took Ra's leave, my head was a little dizzy" Erfan said as he opened a serving of chicken porridge.

"Mas Erfan sick?" tanya Dara put her ginger tea in front of Erfan, then touched her husband's forehead with her palm.

Erfan was stunned to see Dara's face right in front of him, there was a strange sigh that spread in his heart, making himself realize how beautiful this woman in front of him was.

"Mas Erfan has a fever." Said Dara while lowering her palm.

"Mas Erfan ate the porridge first yes, I want to take the medicine inside," said Dara turned around to take the medicine in her room.

"You eat first Ra."

"Yes I prepared the medicine first Mas," said Dara continued his steps.

After getting the medicine sought, Dara rushed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and placed it beside Erfan.

"Eating up to take the medicine, continue to rest again in the room" said Dara while sitting in the chair opposite Erfan.

Erfan nodded still continuing to eat his porridge.

"The foodstuff gas is filled up a lot" said Dara on the sidelines of his meal.

"Let's go shopping to the supermarket."

"Today I have plans to meet with God, so I can all shop with him."

Erfan stopped eating, for some reason now he doesn't like hearing Dara

mentioning the name of the God in front of him, plus when he heard Dara would meet his lover made him even more upset.

"Why Mas? not good with the porridge?"

Erfan shook his head slowly, then continued eating.

"I can go out, can I?"

"Are you going to leave your sick husband alone at home?" erfan said flatly without looking at Dara.

Trrrttt trrrttt sound vibrating Dara's phone on the dining table.

Erfan glanced at Dara's cell phone before continuing his meal.

"Halo Wa," said Dara picking up the phone.

"Will I pick up where Ra is?"

"Can we postpone our plan today Wa?" said Dara hesitantly while glancing at Erfan.

"Why Ra? did your husband forbid you?" said the Lord was upset.

Erfan stopped eating, left Dara and went into the room with a feeling of annoyance.

Dara sighed softly looking at Erfan's attitude

"No I'm just a little dizzy" Dara replied lying.

"You sick?"

"I'm not papa Wa just a little dizzy."

Dara continued chatting on the phone while occasionally feeding porridge into her mouth, laughing and teasing each other to forget Erfan who was upset in the room.
