THE WOUNDED EARTH

KAMPUNG RUMAH

******

We can never guess all almighty destiny.Maybe in the morning we still laugh happily but who knows, the light will be covered in tears.

So also felt the heart of Yati at this time.Baru he got something that seemed to give hope of prolonged happiness because the presence of the figure of Ridwan later became his priest but he also brought a bitter taste instantly.

His body collapsed in the bed.Heart and soul felt tired.However his efforts to close his eyes in order to momentarily forget all but still can not.

"I should ask directly with Ridwan about the clarity of his relationship with Annisa "inner Yati.

Immediately he took the phone that had been in his bag.He did not want this problem to interfere with his thoughts protracted.

"Assalamualaikum, where's my brother?"

"I want to meet Ridwan this afternoon.I want permission to leave tomorrow to go back to the village for ngabarin family there all there are problems that I want to talk to my brother also" Yati said.

Not a few minutes after the message was read.

"Yes baby, I happen to be still on the road.Let me stop by your house huh"he replied.

"We met outside aja kak, I wait at the cafe where usual "decline Yati.

"If so wait a minute, baby, I'm done with work first" replied Ridwan romantic as usual.

Yati rushed to wash her face to feel fresher.After wearing enough makeup she was happy again with her mother to go out to see Ridwan.

He left for the cafe by using the services of online motorcycle taxi to arrive faster.

Arriving at the cafe, the atmosphere is still not too crowded visitors because it has not entered lunch hour.

In the way the most corner place so that it can be more free to talk later.

"What do you want to order?"ask the cafe waiter politely.

"Avocado juice is one yes" Yati replied with a smile.

Not long after the drinks were ordered.

He tried to calm the heart while sipping his avocado juice until half a glass was left.

At the entrance of the cafe appears the figure of Ridwan who stands circulating his gaze looking for Yati's whereabouts.

"Sorry, unfortunately, over time yes, the road is a bit jammed if you want to enter lunch" explained Ridwan.

They sit facing each other.

Yati just smiled back at her words just now.

"What do you want to drink?"tawar Yati's.

"Coffee just let the eyes not feel sleepy."

Then Yati ordered the coffee requested by Ridwan.

"The plan is tomorrow you go home?"tanya Ridwan opened their chat.

"Yes, brother,I want to say goodbye to sister.Actually the mother who wants to go home but the sister knows for herself how the health of the mother.If Bani who came home is not possible also because she does not know many family home addresses there."

"If just inviting the family over the phone it feels inappropriate too brother, so I'd better go home" explained Yati.

"I'm with ya?"rayu Ridwan's.

"No need brother, if brother continues to follow how with the work of brother here.Lagian I go home also briefly" declined Yati subtly.

"But baby, if I miss seeing you how?"his sulk while tightly grasping Yati's hand.

"Can you call my sister"kilah Yati again.

"Yes, but don't stay there long."

Yati only replied with a smile.

As Yati looked down silently, she gathered strength to express what was troubling her heart.

"Sister, is there something that you're hiding from me?"the question was finally thrown as Yati's head was raised and her eyes stared fixedly at Ridwan.

Ridwan finally realized the meaning of Yati's question just now.

Yati also nodded.

Ridwan let out a long sigh, as if there was a heavy burden in his heart that was difficult to decipher.

"Name Annisa, she's just my past but you're my future, dear" Ridwan tried to convince.

Yati let go of Ridwan's hand.

"Are you sure of how you feel right now for me or are you just running away for some other reason?"shoot Yati.

"If it's just an escape there's no way I'm going this far, baby.Please rest assured "ask her.

"Why didn't you tell me that directly?"yati's words continued to seek the earnestness of Ridwan's attitude.

"I asked Ririn for help because she's our best friend, I need her mediator to explain everything to you so you don't misunderstand me, dear."

"Annisa's just my past, dear.I'm just taking the time to help give her the spirit so she can be strong through everything she's facing right now."

"Alright I believe in brother" finally Yati's heart was melted to hear Ridwan's confession.

Contrary to what Ridwan is feeling.

"I'm sorry, That I can't tell you how my relationship with Annisa really is because I'm afraid you might leave me.I'm even worse canceling our marriage that's already on the verge of the eye."

"Let everything go on with time" Ridwan said.

As planned, the next day Yati was ready to go to the terminal to return to his hometown.

"Emak, Yati pamit first yes.Jaga mama's health" said Yati while kissing the back of her hand to say goodbye.

"You be careful on the road, you've got there don't forget to be quick about the news" Mother's message.

"Good mak" a child's affectionate kiss to his mother did not forget Yati gave to his dear mother.

My mother felt so moved that she shed tears.

"Ban, take care of your mother" Yati's message to Bani's only sister.

"Surely it's brother, don't worry.There I'm here"his kicked melted the atmosphere.

My mother and I smiled at her behavior.

Tin.tin..tin.the sound of the motor horn is heard from outside the house.

"I think Ririn deh kak"sela Bani.

"You're going to the terminal now, Yat?"ririn asked who had appeared in front of the door.

"Yes Rin, mumpung is still morning.Can you anterin me not Rin terminal?"yati Pinta.

"Make sister-in-law what the hell can't" she said.

They also headed to the inter-city terminal.

Arriving at the terminal, the city transport taxi that will be in Yati still has not left because it waits for passengers to full.Still 2 empty seats left in the back.

Yati and Ririn also took advantage of the waiting time to buy food and drinks and chat for a moment.

"If you want to go home, Rin's back soon the car will leave too".

"No, I'll wait until the cab leaves and I'll go home" replied Ririn.

"You've met Ridwan's brother, have you?"

"Then, yesterday after we came home from the hospital" Yati replied throwing his gaze far ahead.

"Please be patient, maybe this is a test and hopefully you two can go through it "said Ririn trying to strengthen.

Yati just smiled and guaranteed the prayer of her best friend.

Not long an inter-city transportation taxi carrying Yati also left for his hometown.
