You And I Are The Same
The whispers are real
One morning Rianti packed the items he was going to bring to the boarding school, the distance he was going to travel was quite time consuming so he sped up his movements.
"Mas, are you done yet to take a bath?" rianti asked in front of the bathroom door.
"In a moment" said Avan.
There was the sound of water gurgling from inside. Rianti who had received answers went to the living room, the woman who was still 25 years old played her phone.
Just a minute waiting, Avan did not come out of the bathroom. Feeling something strange and afraid of anything happening to the husband, Rianti got out of his seat and walked over to the husband who was still bathing.
"Mas ...," call Rianti and knock on the door.
Let alone the answer, the sound of water alone he did not hear. It makes Rianti more worried not playing, again Rianti called Avan with a voice that is getting higher.
"Mas!" shouting Rianti.
"What?" answer Avan.
The woman looked back with perfectly rounded eyes.
"What's yelling?" avan asked with a hand that rubbed both of his eyelids.
With a doubtful feeling Rianti turned to the bathroom door, violently he swallowed his saliva.
"B-wasn't your k-k just taking a shower, Mas?" rianti said stuttering as he pointed towards the bathroom door.
"Ngacok you! My man just woke up" he said as he grabbed the towel on Rianti's right shoulder.
"You don't want me, Mum!" rianti said as she hugged her husband's arm.
"Why? You see me showering inside?" Avan's question sounded mocking.
"Yes, I did see you go inside. Even we were chatting," he said in a trembling voice.
Instead of calming his wife, Avan seduced Rianti.
With his raucous voice Avan whispered, "I am behind you ...."
Suddenly Rianti screamed, until his voice was shrill in Avan's eardrum.
"Mas!" pekik Rianti softly while hitting her husband's back.
Avan laughed after grimacing in pain from Rianti's hand punch.
"There's nothing in this house, honey." Gently stroked Rianti's head.
"But ...."
Avan smiled and then kissed the tip of Rianti's head.
"I used to, who took a shower!" cetus Rianti sneaked into the bathroom.
"Astagfirullah .. you are like a child," complained Avan who wanted to close the door, but was prevented by his wife.
"Don't close, I'm scared!" whine while continuing to put on a face.
Avan gave up he squatted right in front of the door, waiting for the wife to finish taking a bath. After finishing with the cleaning ritual, the couple performed the congregational dawn prayer.
However, Rianti suddenly felt that someone was standing right behind him, but he did not really understand that and Rianti refocused himself on prayer. As he prostrated the figure noticeably standing right before him, the fear came back and enveloped his heart.
Her hair bristled and her body felt hot. Cold sweat poured out of his forehead and for fear of seeing anything strange, Rianti closed both eyelids while continuing to pray.
O Allah .. Please forgive the servant who is not solemn in prayer.
After the greeting, Rianti sat next to Avan. Her husband was shocked until her body was shocked.
"Why?" ask Avan lirih.
"That's okay," said Rianti celingukan.
"You sure you're okay?" avan said while embracing his wife's shoulder.
Rianti nodded in agreement to her husband's question, but she was very sure that she saw someone standing before her. However, she kept quiet and did not tell the husband. It's not the first time, but it's been repeated time and time again.
****************
The sun has appeared and the clock has shown at 07.15 minutes, Rianti has finished getting ready. He waited for Avan to sit in front of the porch, as he occasionally glanced in to confirm the appearance of the husband.
"Oh my God, what the hell is he doing in there?" rianti asked himself, "old dad huh, Dek?" she said with a nodding head looking at the face of her baby who was still enjoying her breast milk.
Can't bear to wait for Rianti to yell at Avan from the front of the house, "Mas a sneak!"
The thin mustachioed man walked while carrying a bag containing the needs of Tari—adik Rianti's bladder.
"It's just in there, Mas?" ask Rianti sulking.
"That's .. I'm looking for my watch you bought last time." Avan turned his bike and put on a helmet for Rianti.
"Oh, I put the clock in the drawer in the closet" said Rianti while confirming the position of his body.
Avan just nodded his head, then he drove his bike at moderate speed. Along the way, they did not talk at all. Rianti does not dispute this, even she likes her husband not to talk because she thinks chatting while driving will reduce focus.
However, he faintly heard a baritone voice in his eardrum.
"Turn around!"
Sontak Rianti put her head on her husband's shoulder.
"Well, what did you say?" asked Rianti a little scream.
"No!" rebut Avan with a head that shook quickly.
"Seriously! I heard you say it" said Rianti Kekeh.
Avan turned his head for a moment and said, "I'm not saying anything, honey."
Rianti looked back then looked back at her husband from the rearview mirror.
I misheard, yes. But that voice really I heard, Riani grumbled in her heart.
This time Avan drove his bike a little speeding because later in the afternoon he had an appointment to his friend who had just come from abroad. A few moments later, the matic motorbike entered the Al-Fatah boarding school.
It appears that the santri kang did gotong royong clean the courtyard of a famous boarding school in the east Java area. Santri who recognized Avan grabbed his hand and shook hands while asking Rianti's husband news.
The usual things witnessed by Rianti. Before Avan worked in the village office, he served in this pesantren for approximately 7 years that is why some students know him even familiar with the humorous figure of Avan.
Seeing her husband joking, Rianti entered the female dormitory. His arrival was welcomed happily by the sister, with a smile sumringah Tari hugged her brother and kissed the cheek of the nephew who was still asleep.
"Bak bring pepes your favorite fish," said Rianti Lirih while lifting the bag he carried.
"Gazy." Dance reviews happy smile.
This morning visit was uncomfortable for Rianti, because the heart of a young mother is constantly beset by misgivings. Moreover, the incident earlier at dawn and the voice he heard earlier added to the worry in his heart.
"It's coming home, yeah." Rianti did not see his sister instead he was busy glancing to and fro like looking for something.
"Newly also nyampe Mbak. Dance is still the same Adnan, too," said Tari who still hugs a petite baby who is still 3 months old.
"Mas Avan has a promise with his friend. So, it can not be long here," said Rianti kalem.
"You old man also have nothing. Ferry postponed our meeting" said Avan who just entered.
"But I want to go home soon, Mom." Rianti looked at the face of her husband.
Dance who heard the statement of her brother could only be silent, but the teenager put on a sullen face. He really misses his brother and nephew.
Avan smiled and pulled his phone that was in his jacket pocket. Not yet had time to read the chat from his superior, Rianti stood up and invited him to go home.
"It was just 15 years ago that we arrived, Deck. Time to go home!" avan protests with a frown.
"Just let's go home now, Mom!" rianti insisted.
"Don't be like your Ma'am yeah, Tar!" avan's message to his sister-in-law.
The blue-hooded teenager only smiled wryly hearing her brother-in-law taunting her brother.
"Be careful, don't date!" rianti's orders he always said to Dance.
"Yes Ma'am ..," replied Tari with great emphasis.
"Yo wes's. Assalamualaikum," he said his greeting.
When Avan wants to pull the motor gas, Rianti asked to go home to Avan's mother who is not far from her new home 2 months they occupied.
"Why go there? He said he was tired" said a slightly confused Avan.
"I want to go to Mother's house" he replied without hesitation.
Avan let out a long sigh as he advanced the matic motor he was riding. Arriving at the T-junction Rianti felt his right shoulder felt heavy and he also felt his ears blowing.
Rianti further tightened his arms, "Mas can go faster?"
