Wife Who Was Sold.

Former Tanti.

First night for Faris and Marwa. They look awkward.

"Marwa," said Faris.

"Yes Bang."

"I'm sorry, yeah. I can't do it now. I'm not ready for Marwa."

Marwa. She understands her husband's condition. Maybe for now, Faris has not been able to forget Tanti.

"Yes Bang I understand."Marwa.

I don't know when Faris will forget Tanti. Two years in Jakarta. And two years ago Tanti did not return to Aceh.

For some reason, Faris still feels homesick with a figure named Tanti. A woman of noble character, gentle, and loving children. Well, while in the village, Tanti was once a kindergarten teacher. He loves children very much.

Faris smiled.

But his wife did not know why Faris was smiling.

Tanti, why in times like these, I always remember you. How would I have a husband and wife relationship with my wife, if in my mind there was only you. How will I touch Marwa, if the shadow of your face always haunts me. Inner Faris.

"Yes already Bang. If you are not ready. I'm okay anyway. Let's just sleep, don't do that."

Faris awkwardly kissed Marwa's forehead.

"You still remember Tanti yah."

"No, No Marwa. I don't remember him. He was happy with Arifin. Now it's time for me to open my heart to another woman."

"Yes Bang. I'll always wait for you until you're ready."

"Thank you ."

"I also hope that you can forget about Tanti a little bit and learn to love me."

"Yes Marwa."

****

Next to the apartment window, Tanti looked down. His heart is still empty. Arka never came to him.

Is Mr. Arka angry with me. Did I miss him too much. Was he hurt by my words at the time. But that time I was really emotional again. Because I miss my daughter. Batin Tanti's.

"Sister, why brother?" Ask Nia.

"Sister is okay Nia.Kak just remembered the same Aurel."

Nia smiling.

Ah where the hell is it to remember the child. I think Kak Tanti was remembered Kak Arka deh. Where the hell maybe, Sis Tanti does not like Sis Arka. Physically, he is handsome, charming, romantic, attention as well.I also like him. But I realized I was just a maid. Brother Arka also just thinks I'm sister**.

"Sister Tanti again remember Brother Arka yah?" ask Nia.

I looked up and looked at Nia.

"What the hell." Tanti said, her face seemed to be blushing as Nia mentioned Arka's name.

"Ciye...Brother.Sister's mouth may lie. But your face and eyes cannot be lied to. I know how Big Brother loves Arka." Nia said. Nia hoped that Tanti would smile.

Because Arka always advised, as long as Nia accompanied Tanti, Nia had to entertain Tanti a lot. So that Tanti does not always remember her son again.

Tanti twisted her body, she then stepped towards her bed. He threw his body into the bed.

"Udah deh Nia, don't bother." Said Tanti who was still looking at Nia's cute face.

"But caught Lho Kak. If that brother is upset again. If you want, I video call with Brother Arka."

"Eh .eh... Don't don't. You can't disturb him. He must be busy at the office. He'll be angry." Tanti.

"Yes. Naw. It will be noon. If Brother Arka is taking a break."

"Huh," Tanti sighed.

He was not ready to meet Mr. Arka.

***

Lunch hour.

After a long time Arka working, Arkapun closed his laptop. He smiled at the picture of his wife. The one yesterday broke his frame because he slammed.

Now the photo has been replaced with a new picture frame.

"Laura, you're so beautiful dear, I'm so lucky to have a woman as beautiful as you. Moreover, you are a famous model."

Arka. He also remembered Jihan.

"Ah, Jihan. Why did she have to come back. He shouldn't have come back. What if my love for her grows back. And mommy wants me to marry her. Well Jihan, you were my first love, but I forgot about you. In my heart right now there's only Laura."

And Arkapun remembered his past. The past, which until now he could never forget. She took off her virginity the first time well, with the Princess. Even that night, he didn't remember anything when he touched the Princess.

"Where is the Princess now? Is he okay. I feel guilty about him. She's a good woman who I've blotted her chastity."

And he smiled, as he recalled the most expensive woman. Yeah Tanti.

"My lady now what's up? Does he know if I think about it again. Tanti, I miss you so much. For some reason out of all the women who have come to my heart, only you can make my soul feel peace. Did I love him."

Arka leaned on her oversized chair. He closed his eyes for a moment. And the shadow of the first time meeting Tanti flashed.

Flashback.

Now Arka is waiting for her Mama in Boutik. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a young man and a middle-aged woman. They are busy chatting.

"Like Arifin. And who's that woman. Kok kayak aunt-tante girang. I'm curious. Don't they plan a crime on someone."

Arka was very curious about what they wanted to talk about. Arkapun slowly approached. Trying to eavesdrop on Arifin's conversation with the woman.

"Madam Caterin, I really need the money. Help me madam." said Arifin

"Money for what?" ask madam caterin.

"Madam, I am now being chased by loan sharks. I have a lot of debt. But I can't pay it off."

"Keep I have to help you? Do I have to give you money for free?"

"Yes whatever. What madam wants me to do."

"Oh yeah? Rightly so? I need a beautiful woman who I'm gonna hire into a night woman. Do you want to look for him?"

"But how to madam. I don't have a pretty woman, except my wife."

Ha. ha... Madam Caterin laughed.

"Is your wife beautiful? Then leave him to me. I'll buy it at a great price." Said madam Laura.

Arifin upheld his own salivary.

Could I sell Tanti? That's my wife. And, pity me if I have to hand it over to madam. But I really need that money. If only I had borrowed it to my parents and siblings, where might they have given me money. I owe them so much. How's this.
