Turning Point

FIFTY SIX

"Thank you so much, ma'am, for taking me and the kids to dinner with you"

Those were the words spoken from Reni's lips just after they finished eating together. In his heart he cheered, because tonight he could be with Agum despite having cats.

The latitude restores the position of Nana who is currently sound asleep in her sling. "Sama-sama mbak Ren, be careful on the road yes, good luck until home"

Reni nodded too. "Yes mba, then I say yes"

Reni and her two children also stepped foot leaving Agum and Lintang. Seen online taxi stopped in front of Reni, then brought Reni and her children to leave this lantern park.

Drrtt...

Agum's phone is shaking again. A new message came in on his WhatsApp.

Mama: thanks for tonight baby, tomorrow we meet again...

Agum also smiled at his smile. His heart seemed to tremble like a young man in love.

Latitude observed Agum's facial expression. "Mas?!",

Agum stuttered. "Eh, what's the deck?",

The latitude seemed to want to know there was a message from who made Agum look radiant like that.

"Read the message from who the hell, how does it look like really cool?", asked Lintang probing.

"Eh, not on deck. This is just a message from the Semarang office, maybe next month I have service to Semarang for two weeks", replied Agum lying. "Yes now home yuk, pity Nana does not seem comfortable sleeping", continued Agum.

Lintang nodded in agreement to Agum's words. Although in his heart was still a curiosity that was so great, but Lintang tried to hold it, and tried to brush off all his bad thoughts.

This place looks increasingly deserted. One by one the visitors began to leave this lantern park. Lintang and Agum walked towards the parking lot. And before long Agum drove his car through the cold tonight.

**********

Agum and Latitude lie down. This time they slept downstairs. The bed that they usually occupied was currently occupied by Nana. And now if they will sleep or do other activities, they do on a foam mattress that is wide enough, without using a couch.

Agum rubbed the cheek Latitude. He looked carefully at the face of the woman who had been with him for three years.

His face looks more and more does not emit a hue of freshness even tends to be dull. Although there are no pimples but it looks very dull. Instantly he remembered Reni's face that looked even more beautiful. Agum exhaled a coarse breath and was unintentionally heard by the Latitude.

"Mas why?", asked Lintang curiously.

"There's no deck" replied Agum.

Agum then kissed the lip of Lintang. Slowly he tried to enjoy the lips of Latitude. He tried to find the vibrations of love that he no longer felt when making physical contact with his wife. Even now it was Reni who was more able to make Agum feel the vibration.

Although without the greget felt by Agum, but Agum tried to continue to carry out his obligations as a husband, which is to provide an inner living for Latitude. And it can not be avoided also if Reni's shadow is the object of his fantasy.

Shortly after Lintang and Agum finished their relationship, Agum immediately went to the bathroom. The latitude was taken aback by Agum's different-looking attitude.

Eh what's with my husband?, usually after the release, he always thanked me and kissed me on the forehead. But why not now?, even he looks very rushed and does not enjoy all this. What exactly is going on?

*************

The latitude that had just finished bathing Nana was shocked to hear the call of her mother-in-law.

Lintang finished twisting Nana's hair. "Honey, play in front of the TV first yes, mother wants to go to grandma's room. After that we had breakfast",

"Yes mother", answered Nana while carrying her Barbie doll.

Lintang went into her mother-in-law's room.

"Mother?, what's wrong mom?", asked Lintang curiously.

"Sir, I can't get up, my body can't be moved" Ranti's mother replied as she held back her cries.

Lintang sat on the edge of her mother-in-law's bed. His eyes were wide, bed linen mother-in-law's mattress was wet with urine (thin).

"Astaghfirullah... mother why?, why can it be like this ma'am?", asked Lintang who also tried to hold back her crying.

"I'm paralyzed again mbak, I can't feel anything in my body" replied Ranti's mother. This time her mother-in-law could no longer hold back her cries.

"Yes Allah.", the voice of Latitude seemed to be stuck in his throat.

Lintang also cried when she saw her mother-in-law lying limp on the bed and could not move her limbs at all.

"For a while, ma'am, Lintang call the Agum mas first" said Lintang as he passed away from his room-in-law.

"Mother why?", asked Nana who was seen playing her Barbie doll in front of the TV.

The latitude tried to smile. "It's okay, baby. Nana continue playing, mother wake up father first yes"

Nana nodded. "Yes mother"

In the room, Agum is still seen curled up under his blanket.

Lintang approached Agum then shook her husband's body. "Mas, I woke up!!",

Agum rubbed his eyes trying to grab his consciousness. "What the hell is deck?"

"Mother mas, mother paralyzed again", Lintang answered in panic.
