The banner sits in the residence of Goddess Savitri. The second house after his apartment, nothing changed in the house. His eyes lit up slightly as he stood in front of Vira and Dawa's wedding photo. Seems like it hasn't been long on display. Because the last time he played to the house was a wedding photo of Dira and Juna who were there.
"Photo non Dira and Juna brought the same to the house of Lembang. He said Mas Juna built a new and big house. That's what I heard from Mas Juna."
"Continue Vira?"
"Ciyeee is still nanyain non Vira." the temptation that Bi Inah threw made Panji smile himself. Bi Inah immediately corrected her words. He realized the man he was bothering had a wife.
"Sorry, Den. Aunty forgot that den Panji was married too." ralat Bi Inah.
"Oh, that's okay, Bi. I know which guyon ama is serious. You are like your own family. Just relax, Bi." when he was still a little slack when he called the name Vira.
Bi Inah went into the kitchen preparing cooking for her employer. Although Bu Dewi is not in Jakarta, but every before lunch Feri always come home for lunch or just chatting with his wife's child.
"Eh, there's a Panji. You how are you?" Tina greeted her guests.
"Yes, Tina I met Bi Inah on the road between her and her. Which twins?"
"Have slept. That's why I can get out now. Oh yes Bi Inah, mas Feri did not come home he said there was a client to take lunch."
"Den Panji has eaten yet? If you haven't eaten yet, yes. The responsibility is already cooking a lot."
"Yes, just eat first." Tina chimed in.
Panji ended up eating together at the residence of Goddess Savitri. Only he ate while Tina reasoned not to be too hungry. But Tina sat on the dining table chair because it was not nice to leave guests.
"Have not tasted Bi Inah's food for a long time. Still as steady as ever." Praise Panji after enjoying Bi Inah's cooking.
"Ah, Den Panji could have praised him. Doesn't Panji's wife cook?"
"Wife ...." The pennant immediately patted his eel. Just remembered that Echa and her mother-in-law were waiting at the traditional market. Panji glanced at the time it was already two in the afternoon.
"Bi Inah, I say goodbye first. Just remember that my wife and in-laws are waiting at the market. They must have been hot in there."
"Well, if there's a father-in-law, the Panji has to pray a lot."
"Why?"
"Let's not in the nagging. Den Panji has made his daughter long waiting for an invitation. If he goes home first, he's tired of waiting. If he stays there, it means he's the same den Panji. If auntie mah goes home pity her mother's waiting."
Panji took a deep breath. Since a few days in-laws stay with them there are only stories that he considers the opposite. Like his in-laws comment on how his wife dresses. How to treat your wife or husband well. Good thing Miss Laksmi is not too siding with her son. If Echa is wrong, stay in reprimand. So too with the banner. Neutral attitude.
"Bi, I'll say goodbye first. Greetings to Tina and the others."
The car that Panji was driving was out of the residential area of Griya Samara. Actually he felt bad for his wife, because he had stopped by the place of Vira. Surely his wife who is possessive when it comes to Savira will accuse him of all sorts. Added this morning to be convinced by Echa about the ring box in his storage.
The banner got off his car. Seeking the whereabouts of his wife and in-laws. Panji received his phone, it turned out to be low batt.
"I think Echa's been calling a few times. But maybe I'm the one who didn't open the phone. Damnit damnit! Lowbat as well. How'this? they must have waited a long time. Where are they, huh?"
About half an hour Panji searched for them. Like a prodigal child searching for his mother, Panji broke through the streets of a deserted market.
The banner is in front of the apartment building. After parking the car and then get into the stairs from the parking lot. Finally, he stood at the door of his apartment.
Chequek!
"You are home, too, Mas." The wry welcome he got when he entered the house.
"Suami's coming home, what's the welcome? If it pleases the husband. Smile dong, dear."
"Mas has eaten. That's why he came home long ago. Even though mom has cooked special for her favorite daughter-in-law. I'm sure Mas Panji is going to Savira's place, right? I think I'm sincere it turns out not."
"Now, Cha?" the voice of Panji is heard rising.
"This is what, Mas?" Echa shows a photo of Panji's car stopping in front of Savira's house.
"Not so, Cha. You can think in a positive direction. Not negative thinking. I helped Bi Inah bring a lot of groceries on the road. That's why I brought her home. If you get the info do not swallow it round and round!"
"As long as you keep the ring, as long as I can't think positively. That alone indicates you still have not moved on, Mas! and now you're home after a nice meal there."
"cha!" the voice of the middle-aged woman broke the tension between the two.
"You're the same your husband he just came home and was greeted with a scolding. What the hell, you!"
"Mom, he ...."
"I apologize to your husband; I don't want to know any reason why you can't talk to your husband. He is your priest, now your qibla of life and the Hereafter is the same banner not the same mother. Hurry up and apologize!" Echa was forced to comply with her mother's request. Grabbing her husband's hand and kissing Panji's fingers. Still with a small sobbing Echa apologized for his attitude to Panji.
"I'm sorry about my mom, too. Thank you mom for cooking for me. I actually eat outside. I promise I'll be home in time."
"Where do you eat, son?" ask Mrs Laksmi.
"At a friend's house not far from his relatives Tika. Coincidentally met on the road and invited to stop by. Again the pennant apologized for not coming home on time."
"Cha, I want to talk. Can I go to the room?" Echa nodded then went to the room.
His name is no household as smooth as a toll road. Running a home life is not an easy thing. Often various trials arise testing the loyalty of a married couple. Therefore, it takes commitment to be loyal and mutually supportive between a husband and wife.
A harmonious household will bring happiness to every member of the family. To make this happen, the husband and wife must be able to fulfill their responsibilities. In addition, married couples must also be able to trust each other and understand each other.
Every couple would want to bring their household into a harmonious family. However, to create a harmonious family is not an easy thing. There are many things that every couple should do, especially to maintain trust and understand each other.
"Cha" Panji sat beside his wife.
Echa lowered her head. The fingers of the Panji are getting tighter in the grasp of Echa's hand. Gently touching his wife's palm. His fingers were interlocked as if filling the emptiness that surrounded the two.
"I know you're still mad about the ring. I know you're still jealous of Savira. But I have no feelings for Vira, Cha. The woman I love now and forever is just you. I ... I know ... The ring is still a matter for you. I promise I'll do something with the ring. But please, don't think weird." The pennant puts his forehead over the elbow of Echa's fingers.
"Cha, trust me. There is no other woman in my heart right now. When we want to start a relationship, it is marriage. I threw everything away. So you also have to let go of the feelings that can ruin the value of our marriage."
