“Rayyan!” exciting Era once again.
The owner of the name is still in his position. Not moving at all. Occasionally his eyes blinked for the sake of being invisible to Era.
“Yes, Joel? Did you just meet Papa?” rayyan asked after turning her body. Reviewing the thin smile on the woman who had not since when inhabited his heart.
Instead of Era answering Rayyan's question, the woman cried sobbing when she saw Rayyan's smile. Era just considers Rayyan as a friend. Nothing more than that, however, to say farewell felt very heavy for Era to do.
“Hey, why are you crying?” Rayyan approaching Era. He patted her on the back, then took her to sit on the sofa in her study.
Era seemed to wipe her tears. her stuffing still sounded soft, but her lips were not able to speak.
If you can choose, Era wants to stay longer here, in this country. live her new life with her husband, and can also be close to Rayyan, her best friend, it would hurt Rayyan's feelings even more. Era is really confused. He hated what he called farewell.
“When do you return to Indonesia, Joel?” rayyan asked to start the conversation.
“Tomorrow, Ray.” Answer the short Era.
They fell silent to each other. Silence is created for a while. Rayyan has indeed tried to Legowo to release a happy era with her partner. Yeah, it's all just a matter of time. The tightness in his heart would be eroded by time and changed with another happiness.
“I can only pray for your happiness, Joel. Sorry if all this time I've been presumptuous to use my feelings in our friendly relationship.”
“No, Ray! Love is someone's right. I never blame you or this situation.I am here to feel guilty for not being able to accept your love. But I do believe. You are a good man, God must have prepared the best soul mate also for you.”
“Really?” ray asked while frowning his brows.
“Yes. Everyone is destined for pairs.” Answer the Era with confidence.
“Yes already, please ask God if that is so. When did my soul mate come and what did she look like?” kelakar Ray melts the atmosphere.
The era that had been carried away by the mellow atmosphere finally blew his laughter. The situation was conducive again, they were both as usual. In his heart each tried to be sincere.
After Era bids farewell to Ray, as well as several other co-workers, Era goes straight home to her apartment to prepare for her departure tomorrow. For the problem of his apartment unit and his car, Era has left it to Rayyan.
Now Era has arrived at his apartment unit. When he just opened the door, his nose has smelled the cooking smoke coming from his kitchen. Era slowly stepped there. It turned out that Pasha was wearing her apron and was busy with the frying pan.
Silent era nailed seeing her husband cooking. This was a rare sight that Era had never seen from Pasha before. In addition to the man turned into a more mature figure, it turns out Pasha is also independent. It can even make its own cooking.
“Eh, my wife is home?” greeting Pasha as she turned her body, already saw Era standing in front of the kitchen door.
“You cooked? Indeed can?” tanya Era still did not believe.
“I only make instant dishes available here.easy if it. still enjoy your cooking.”
“Why not buy it, or go out to a restaurant not far from here?” Era approached while helping to serve the food that her husband had just made.
“Ngak. I'm lazy out.” Pasha answered and sat down and was ready to enjoy the cooking.
Era smiled thinly, then he also joined Pasha.
They both enjoyed lunch happily. Her name is also a newlywed. Anything must feel beautiful.
***
The next day Era and Pasha were already preparing to head for the airport. Papa Nabil and Mama Shanum left for the airport.
Actually Era and Pasha want to leave with their parents. But this morning there was a little drama that finally Pasha asked Mama and Papa to leave first.
If only Era did not have the ultimate weapon, surely Pasha would still hold it in her arms.
“Later to arrive in Indonesia, we can enjoy our first night.”
That's the sentence Era said this morning to her husband when Pasha was still in fashion sulking because the wife continued to force him to immediately prepare.
Now Pasha and Era have arrived at the airport. Both of their parents were also waiting at the departure gate.
“You two are fine, right?” asked Mama Shanum who had looked worried since the child and daughter-in-law had not come.
“Good, Ma. There was a little troble. Sorry.” Answer Era.
“Troble? Why why anyway? King, are you still sick? The medicine does not forget you consume, right?” mama Shanum asked, getting worried.
“Oh, not Ma. King was fine. he was a little fussy because of the sus ration,-“
Pasha immediately smothered the mouth of his wife who was about to speak frontally in front of Papa and Mama. Maybe the girl will say no. Usually it is the men who say without filters. Well this is the opposite.
Papa and Mama Pasha just shook her head to see the interaction of the newlyweds, while Era was very satisfied because she managed to prank her husband.
They are already on the plane. A dozen hours of air travel will take them back to Indonesia. Strange things reappeared in the heart of Era.
Some time ago, he made the same trip. And now it is repeated again.although there are still the remains of those bitter memories, Era immediately threw it away. Because of the bitter taste it has disappeared without a trace. Replaced with the sweet taste that he will create with his loved ones.
“Sorry. You must have been very difficult through it.” Pasha suddenly. Holding his wife's hand.
“Already. Don't discuss it again.” Era answered him with a sweet smile. Then he laid his body on Pasha's shoulder.
***
That long journey had brought Era back to the homeland. His homeland has carved many stories of his life.
Upon arrival at the airport, there were two cars that picked them up and their parents. On the way home, Pasha did not get tired of hugging his wife. Era until not tasty by yourself.
“Why the hell, Honey? You don't like me hugging gini?” pasha protest with the look of her jutek face.
“Dah start again tantrumnya. It turns out the word bocil until whenever still attached in him.” Inner Era while smiling faintly looked at her husband.
“You're swearing at me? You said I was a bocil?” todong Pasha was on target.
“Eh is not. You look very handsome if you are in jutek mode like that.” said Era gelapan itself.
