Turning Point

SEVENTY

The man smiled too. "Assalamu'alaikum deck Latitude"

The latitude is still fixed. "Wa-waalaikumsalam.... Hanan"

"How are you doing deck?", asked Hanan

Lintang smiled clumsyly, not believing if he was reunited with the man who had existed in his past. "Alhamdulillah good mas. How about myself?"

Hanan smiled back. "Alhamdulillah I am also good deck", he replied "Oh yes what are you doing here?", he continued.

"I'm catering Nury mas's mother's order", replied Lintang.

The atmosphere created. Maybe because they were suddenly reunited so that makes both of them equally clumsy.

"Mas Hanan, let's go into the room, the meeting is about to begin!!", shouted a man from the direction of Nury's study.

"Yes for a moment", Hanan replied, still while looking at Lintang's face.

"Then I say yes. Assalamu'alaikum", said Lintang say goodbye.

Hanan jerks. "Wait deck. Can I have your contact number?"

Latitude smile. "Sorry, Hanan, we both better never know our contact numbers. I was just looking after myself not to __________"

Hanan chuckled small. "I know the deck. It turns out you never change. You can really keep your honor as a woman"

Latitude down. "I'm sorry, mas"

Hanan smiled. "It's okay deck. I know your reasons. May God always take care of you deck"

"Aamiin, thank you so much. I say goodbye, assalamualaikum"

"Wa'alaikumsalam deck", replied Hanan.

The latitude left Hanan who was still fixated on his position. Hanan looked at the Latitude's back with a hard-to-understand look. Then he rubbed his face.

I know you belong to someone else's deck, but somehow my heart always says if someday I can be a priest to you. And you know what? To this day I am still in my solitude. It's very hard to find a woman like you. Lintang Mahendrasti, the first woman to introduce me to what love is. May happiness always be with you.

Meanwhile, in a small contract in downtown Jogja. Agum was standing in front of the window enjoying a cigarette. Mind fucked. Ever since he saw the change in Lintang self as if distracting all his attention only to be fixed on him.

Agum glanced at a woman who was sound asleep on her rented bed. The woman who has driven him crazy for the past year or so, the woman who has blinded the eyes of his heart so that it always makes him close his eyes to the virtues that have been done by his wife and of course the woman who has made him into an evil man who can inflame the fire to burn peace the house he was building.

Agum rattled his hair rough. Given Lintang's attitude that positioned himself as the guilty party of the chaos of his household as if making his heart pinch. His body escaped on the floor. Then he sat down with his knees together and drowned his head between his knees.

Reni wriggling. Then his eyes fell on Agum, who was bowing by the window.

"Darling, why are you?" asked Reni as she approached Agum.

Agum jerked. Then raise his head. "Ti-it's okay Ren".

Reni rolled her eyes. Not usually Agum calls only by his name, usually he calls him affectionately or mama.

"Iiihhhh you why the hell love to be different gini. What was lacking?, want more?", said Reni offering while swaying spoiled in Agum's arm.

Reni still hasn't given up seeing Agum change. While in bed, Agum also looks not excited.

Agum breathed a rough breath. "More..."

"Yes, why honey?", asked Reni still sullenly.

"If we end this all how?" said Agum.

Reni widened her two eyes then pulled her body from Agum's arm. "What do you mean?",

Agum rubbed his face rough. "I want to go back to Ren's family, I'm sorry"

Reni's eyes turned red and her chest also rumbled unexpectedly Agum would say that. "No mas, I don't want to. You forgot the promise we made. That we'll live together in the front later. I don't want to stop here mas".

Agum lowered his face. "But I can no longer continue this relationship Ren, I've gone too far away from my family"

Reni shook her head with tears that were already curled up on her eyelids. "No mas, I don't want to. Besides why did you suddenly turn out like this?, what did Lintang do to you so that it could make you leave me?"

Jlebb!! , Reni's words felt like they were drawing out her heart. Indeed what Lintang has done until now all the contents of his head are filled with latitude. Could this be the way God rebuked him and resuscitated him?

Agum is getting down. "Lin-latitude is not me_______"

Reni was further ignited by her anger. "You've even said that I was more everything than your wife, and now you're forgetting?"

Agum rubbed his tears which had also dripped. "I'm sorry Ren, but I really want us to end up here".

"No mas, I don't want to. It's up to you if you want us to end up, but I'll never give up until here. You know, soon I'll be the winner" Reni said as she walked away.

Braakkkk!!!, there was the sound of a knock on the door that Reni had closed. Agum just looked at the door with nanar. Tight chest. Her tears are melting again. He hugged his knees again and drowned his face between them.

**********

Agum stopped his car in the courtyard of a mosque on the side of the road. He looked at the mosque in front of him from behind the glass of his car.

I don't know what moved me to get to this place. But you must know that I am currently devastated by the mistakes I have made myself, Lord...

Agum get out of the car. Then to wudlu. After that he stepped foot into the mosque which felt so quiet at eleven o'clock in the evening like this.

Two rakaat finished he tuned. After the greeting he sat down facing the Qibla while his lips looked to make dhikr.

Lord I come to You with sins that have been attached to my body. After what I did to my wife, to my son, to my mother, to my in-laws by cheating them all, could I still deserve Your forgiveness, Lord?, I am guilty of all this. It was I who had kindled the fire, and now I was the one who was burning. I am blind, Lord, I am blind. You have entrusted me with a wingless angel like my wife, but I betrayed her, deceived her, and inflicted such a deep wound on her soul. If I want to go back to him is that door still open to me, Lord.and will my way be easy to regain his trust again?,
