Bayu woke up from his sleep. It was still dark as he spread his gaze out the window. The atmosphere was still very quiet in addition to the sounds of small night animals that used to gnaw.
Bayu also changed his position to sit. He saw for a moment Liana who was still faithful fell asleep. The woman he had been married to for a month. While his hands outstretched rubbing the week of his head.
Lying if Bayu is not dear. Bayu loved this woman who loved him completely. She is a good and obedient wife. Always serve him with a sincere heart. Both in his day and in this bed.
"If it's quiet again this way so remember the past," he said.
It was precisely at the first time that he made his journey to another realm that he felt was so real. Honey, the haw is not as cool as the world of the past. Because this village is no longer a beautiful village, almost all empty land has begun to be crowded by houses. Maybe in a few years the village will be full. The alley will get narrower. The air became hot and the village was no longer a village as the name suggested, but it would be a sumuk city. At that moment, the world was no longer okay.
Recalling about the past, this time when Bayu woke up from his long slumber. Bayu once came to Ki Adiwerna to return keris. But surprisingly, the old man had not existed for a long time. Even before they came. It was known to the local neighbors. People say, that place is now pretty haunted. And again, the statue and the iron box in his room was lost to nowhere. Completely gone without a trace.
But not with the memories neatly stored in his heart.
"Mas Bayu is awake?" liana's hoarse voice spread her daydream. Since Liana became a wife, she changed her vocation to impress her husband with more respect. "You should wake me up. We should take a junub bath first" he said.
"Look easy, Li. The bathroom was inside, ", Bayu replied.
"We took a bath together, yes," Liana offered, then kissed her husband's lips with great care, as if they were easily scratched. She is very good at seducing husbands.
It is not good to refuse sustenance, so people say. All men are like Bayu. They don't have to wear love to keep doing it.
There's no way Bayu didn't touch his own wife. What does Liana say later?
Bayu does not want to be called a man who is not sane because he does not want to have sex with his wife. Especially with the news of hom o himself that has spread everywhere.
No one left the old Bayu house. They live on one roof with Julia. The relationship between son-in-law and father-in-law is very good. They always compactly support Bayu at every step.
Even with the Bayu household. Their relationship is very harmonious. Not one bit did the man show his strangeness. Ah, Bayu is good at keeping secrets. Doesn't look the slightest bit of Bayu looks flawed. Because for Liana, Bayu is a perfect husband who loves her very much.
Bayu is the embodiment of a husband that all women crave. Handsome, well-established, kind, loyal and clever pamper women. How can Liana not be more crazy about him?
However, there is no smooth household without trying. Two years passed, something they had been waiting for was not present between them. In fact, everyone had expected his descendants. Especially Julia.
Although not once the old woman said or showed her disappointment openly, but her passion for bringing the neighbor's baby into the house was clearly the code for them. And it hurt a lot for Liana. Especially with the talk of right-left neighbors who continue to buzz at all times. Making Liana tormented.
"It looks like we have to go to the doctor" Liana said one day to her husband.
"You sure? Not stress will be the same?" Bayu.
"If the barren one turns out to be me how?"
"I remain faithful to accompany you at all times" he replied without hesitation. "But if the barren one turns out to be me. Please let me go. I'm freeing you to marry again."
"Why is that?" ask Bayu.
"Because a woman's family will accept whatever her husband's circumstances, but a man's family will not. Moreover, you need a descendant who can continue your efforts."
"You're thinking too far, Liana. Be praying! May our worries be wrong all along."
"I wish it was like that too."
They also headed to a large hospital that is now increasingly sophisticated. The current year is 2020. At that point, the disease began to spread. Viruses have killed many people on earth.
And the woe, not the healing or the good results they get. After they came back from there, Liana actually fell ill. The doctor who examined Liana stated that Liana was exposed to the deadly virus. It may have been transmitted from the hospital area.
My family and I were in shock. They think the disease will only befall others out there. But it was unexpected that it befell their own families.
Bayu himself is required to be isolated independently because he has made a lot of physical contact with patients before. All are dead-end when they see Liana lying in the hospital without being found by anyone until she is completely healed.
Surprisingly, Liana did not heal. Congenital asthma that he suffered made the woman's condition worse. Until shortly he was pronounced dead. He was buried according to the virus protocol so as not to transmit others.
With regret, Bayu can only come to him after he was buried. Without him seeing it first.
For the whole time... Bayu felt a deep heartbreak. Like being thrown into a very steep ravine. He lost the person he loved so much. Liana, his wife is gone now. He is officially alone.
Although there was no love in her heart, Bayu had never thought of parting with Liana. Liana is a very good wife. There was no shortage of him during his two years of service.
Bayu lost that woman. Various memories continued to erode his common sense until he felt almost crazy.
On long nights, he always saw a clear sky. Bayu was very sorry about this. They could never look up at the same sky again.
His world was getting quieter by itself. Getting worse and hurt.
The loss of a wife is a ruin for a man.
