When Love Teases

50. 7 O'clock, On Time!

The dull face was basically beautiful. It even has an interesting aura. Although as a woman, Ratna could judge that. There is jealousy slipping into the recesses of the heart. It's true that Krishna wasn't captivated, had never "touched". Ratna was still staring at the thin woman who was now sitting in front of her, bowing her face while weaving her fingers, looking restless and afraid.

"Honestly, I'm here to meet the woman who was my honeymoon." Ratna opened the voice after a long time in silence. "Whatever the underlying cause, as a wife, I actually do not want a polygamous husband" he continued to express the skepticism that stuck in the heart.

"I'm sorry." Kartika ventured to look at the beautiful woman with a different appearance of the class. He only wears a batik negligee with an instant veil. While the interlocutor wears a tunic suit silk material and a silk veil floral motif. Certainly plus skin care routine in beauty clinics so that it appears on the skin of the face is smooth clean without wrinkles.

"Everything happened neither my will nor Mr. Krishna's. We were framed." continued Kartika. "If you want to be angry, please. I received. I understand Ands's feelings. But don't worry. By Allah, our marriage is only oral. Not doing more."

Ratna. What Kartika said was the same as what Krisna said. His gaze probed. Trying to find a gap of anxiety as a feature of a lie. There aren't. The woman in front of him looked hurt.

"You have a child?!" Ratna wanted to extract the information directly from the concerned.

"Yes. I have one 9 year old girl. Her name is Dara Kinasih." Kartika swallows saliva. Smiling grimaced with gazes began to glaze over. Who try hard. "He is half soul, he is spirit, he makes me strong live the cruel slander of the world. She's the one who made me want to end my life because I lost her." His voice turned hoarse. There was a round of tears that escaped unstoppably soaked the cheeks. The pain of losing the only baby is still felt and now slashed again.

"Sorry.sorry. Don't have to continue. Sorry.it makes you sad." Ratna felt guilty for bringing up Kartika's grief. The purpose was to convince again of Krishna's honesty. But the scene in front of him made him believe the story of the husband. Not trumped.

Sitting side by side and rubbing Kartika's shoulders as a form of support, strengthening accompanied by an apology. Lost already jealousy turned empathy. Conceivably. It is not easy to live life like Kartika.

"You know, what makes you strong after a loss?!" Ratna changed to soften the voice after previously speaking in a firm tone

" Thank God still gives me faith. When I was helpless and moved by the weight of the weight of the trials of my life, night prayers became an infusion that made me strong."

"Second, Mang Ade and Bi Ipah. I am outcast from family and environment, they embrace and consider me like their own family. I feel valuable again."

"I also have a farm worker. His evening teaching in Magrib program Teaching the village children. The pain of losing a child is simply a wayang treated by the activity." Kartika is no longer sad.

"I am also indebted to Mr. Krishna. He helped fund Dara's treatment. Please Haji ma'am don't get me wrong. There's no..."

"Already.no need to continue. My husband told me everything." Ratna shakes. "And don't call me that. Call me Ratna Tea!"

The design of the scene is perfectly depicted in the memory. Decision's unanimous. Peace is full of the past of the husband. Makes Ratna feel her chest more plump. There is even strong empathy. There was an intention to extend a hand to help Kartika.

"Mommy, if we're not in the mood, we'll go home." Rama looked worriedly. Getting into the car after choosing fruits is completely unknown to the mother. Looks like anther in the daydream.

Ratna. He looked at the son who was looking at him worriedly.

"Mommy is just staring. Let's go ah. I can't wait to know the house of Puput."

...***...

A full month during Ramadan does not process the physical. As a result of this initial exercise makes the body of the puput feel sore. Until this afternoon choose to sleep rest the body.

"Teh--Tea wakes up..there are guests." Ami patted the arm of the sleeping puput in a tilted position.

Puput instead of getting up even hugged tightly his roll. Still reluctant to open my eyes.

"That's a guy guest. Want to be found or not?!" Ami moved to shake her brother's arm.

"Who?!" The puput opened his eyes with a still hoarse voice.

"Said SD Teteh friend. Don't know her name.da Mother who nemenin his guests."

Puput wake. Stretch out your hands while your mouth is long yawning.

"Ih the Teteh. Hihihi--" Ami pointed at the right lip angle with a clear melt. Pull the pillow to see the part of the pillowcase that looks wet. Makes the youngest more vulnerable.

"What island would you like to make again? Stop or make the island. Confused what name. Indonesia has many islands, Tea." Ami peered into the pillowcase that all of its surface was like a map.

The pupate spontaneously shrinks with the back of the hand. Not answering. Choosing to throw a roll to the youngest who choked until stranded on the mattress hit by a throw. I rushed to the bathroom to wash my face.

"Miller, Roy--?! Puput greeted with a surprised look two guests who were accompanied by his mother. "Do you know who my house is from?!" he continued while sitting in his former mother who then paid back.

"From who contracted your home. We went to the house in Sukamaju. Kirain you still live there." Roy represented the answer.

Beetle-beard.

"Put, we're here to apologize for yesterday. You must be angry so go home and don't tell me first." Miller said with a guilty look. Even though he was drunk, he still had consciousness. Know if Pupit goes to the toilet and doesn't come back.

No one answered. The two guests pursed their lips while peeking at the ceramic floor.

"I don't mean to patronize. You must know which one is right which one is wrong. Should if you want to pay do not invite let alone plunge!" Firmly Faded with a sharp unsheathed look. Makes the guts of the two men shrivel.

"I also apologize for representing Selly. He was embarrassed to come straight. Feeling guilty. He admitted mixing drugs so you can get drunk. As a form of solidarity he said." Roy delivered Selly's message.

Puput bobbing head. "I'm not that stupid to be influenced. Never mind. I'm sorry for all three of you. But Kapok was invited to gather again. Can only pray I hope you guys get back straight."

Miller and Roy again apologized with regret accompanied by thanks.

"Alhamdulillah.Fortunately yesterday someone came to hear me. Send me home." The puput smiled slightly as it reflected on the angry face of Rama who pulled his hand away.

"Who's the guy, Put?!" Miller was curious.

"Assalamu'alaikum--"

At the same time, Miller and Roy turned to the door while answering their greetings.

...***...

Puput did not expect the arrival of Rama with Ratna's mother. Making it wrong should be how. There are also guests Miller and Roy. Immediately welcome and invite to the middle room, all of you call Mother who is in the backyard.

"Eh there's Brother Rama...." Ami who had just come down from her room was Puput on the second floor, exclaimed in excitement. Immediately he kissed the hands of Mother Ratna and Rama.

"Mother Ratna...Brother Rama.sorry yes I have not been able to nemenin. There's a guest again." Puput asked permission to accompany guests. A glance at the look of Rama's flat face without expression.

"No papa, Puput. Just relax...Mami was accompanied by your mother, same Aul as well." Sahut Ratna has no problem. Unlike Rama who was silent did not respond. Choose to sit in the carpet because the middle room there is no chair. His brain thought hard.

"Mi, grab a souvenir yuk in the car." Rama felt there was a way to go back and forth to the living room. His intention is to disturb guests to drive away subtly.

Ami widened her eyes to hear the word souvenir. Two thumbs up. Without being told twice immediately stand up following out. Passion 45.

"I'm going back to Bali. So plong if you have met gini. Please yes, Put. Don't block my number. I hope we're still friends. There's another special next year reunion of our generation. Promise me, it won't be like yesterday anymore. I'll know myself." Miller said solemnly which Roy also supported.

Before answering, Puput glanced at first Rama and Ami who had two turns in and out of the small crackle.

"Okay, Miller. On reunions, we'll discuss them in groups. I can't make my own decisions." Frowns frown to see Rama and Ami come out again which of course passes behind the sofa where he sits.

"Yes, Put. Let's go back first. Sorry to interrupt your time. Family gathering again?!." Miller stood up followed by Roy, without waiting for a response. Feeling that the time to visit is enough because of the arrival of other guests.

"Who is that, Put?!" Roy pointed with his chin towards Rama who was laughing with Ami in front of the open gate.

The exiled puput was confused as to what to answer. "That's Ami's sister over Grandma." In his heart he apologized to Rama for making free. Luckily Miller and Roy didn't extend. Even greeting Rama who was still standing near the gate as if a doorkeeper.

"Kayak a child a drug." Lirih Rama with cynical throbbing lips next to Puput. Puput ushered up to the gate waving as soon as the guest car gave a horn.

The pup only gawked with both eyebrows linked. Wonder. Rama's attitude looks jutek.

"Let's get ready by 7pm I'll pick you up!" Rama continued the conversation because Puput did not respond.

"Eh, where are you going, brother?!" Puput was surprised by the call to mandatory orders.

"Dinner!"

"Eh, but---"

"Remember! 7 Hours, on time!"

Puput opens mouth preparing for protest. But Rama passed into the house following Ami who had already entered first. Spontaneous palpating chest that is pounding fast.

Bring dinner?!

Again, Puput repeated the word in the heart. Stuck in where he stood. Still can't believe the sudden invitation.
