Flashback two hours ago.
The fragrance of roses rose out in the air after Sarah sprayed her favorite perfume around her body. Put the perfume bottle back on the dresser. Then, both of his hands wiped onto the back of his long hair. Her shadow looked stunningly beautiful in the mirror and Sarah herself also knew that.
He then turned around, about to take a handbag of the color of the gods placed on the nightstand. The handbag was in line with the stiletto shoes and was in stark contrast accompanying the turquoise color dress she was wearing. Once a swing, the handbag handle is immediately refuted in his grasp.
Sarah breezed toward her car parked in the garage next to the house. At moderate speed, he drove the car out of the courtyard towards the body of a fairly crowded highway. A minute later, the car was already joined between four-wheeled vehicles and other two-wheelers.
Precisely yesterday, Sarah arrived in Bali after deciding to leave Jakarta. Sarah now occupies her old house. He did not want to return to Jakarta because the reason for settling in the metropolitan city was no longer there. Perhaps, Sarah will settle in Bali or at least she will stay on the island of Gods for a long time.
Where does Sarah's car stop?
The rest stop turned out to be the front yard of Shehan's house. Sarah had been telling her ex-husband since the first day she arrived in Bali. Shehan responded happily and told Sarah to come to his house to meet Nurbanu.
Not meaning anything, Shehan thought that having Sarah come could comfort her mood still grieving the loss of her husband. Likewise with Nurbanu, would be happy to meet his biological mother.
"Banu Darling...."
"Mama...."
Little Nurbanu suddenly ran towards his mother's hand. Sarah was happy to be able to hug her daughter like this. Long enough he held, only after Nurbanu was lowered again. The two sat next to each other on the living room sofa. Sarah looked around. He was surprised to find a quiet house.
"Where is Lilis, Banu?"
"Sister Lilis said she was going out for a while, Ma. But do not know where to go because Banu was told to stay at home. Can't come," Nurbanu pouted a little. He did have a chance to sulk when he asked LiIis to invite him as well.
"Oh .. so, yes," Sarah replied calmly.
"Mrs Sarah...."
Mbok Tum's call from behind outwitted Sarah and Nurbanu. The mother and daughter pair both turned to Mbok Tum who was visiting them in the living room while carrying a tray containing two glasses of cold drinks and two dishes containing snacks.
"Mbok Tum's! How are you, Mbok?" Sarah smiles and meets her former assistant again.
Mbok Tum returned a friendly smile. "I'm good, Mrs Sarah," she replied, putting the glasses and plates on the table. "How's the Madam?"
Sarah sighed lightly with a shady look of eyes that did not disappear from her gaze. "It's better, Mbok," Sarah said.
"Thank God, then, Madam. Please enjoy the dish, Lady Sarah," Mbok Tum said later.
"thank you. Oh yeah, where did LiIis go, Mbok?"
"Non Lilis?" Mbok Tum pause for a moment, "oh .. was Non Lilis said to go out for a while. But don't know where to go, ma'am. So Mbok was told to look after Non Nurbanu."
Sarah nodded faintly.
"Mrs Sarah, is there anything else the Madam needs?"
"No, Mbok." Sarah nodded weakly.
"Then, Mbok stayed behind first, yes."
"Yes, Mbok."
Mbok Tum bowed briefly in honor of his employer's ex-wife. After the departure of Mbok Tum, Nurbanu never ceaselessly spoiled with his mother. Nurbanu is very happy to know that Sarah is back in Bali and will not be living in Jakarta again.
"So Banu can play piano what song?" ask Sarah lovingly, responding to her daughter's story.
"Little star, Ma. Mama want to see Banu play the piano? Here Ma, Banu tell you!" Nurbanu enthusiastically pulled her mother's hand to follow her into the piano room. Sarah also complied.
Both of them sat on the bench of the grand piano. Sarah's smile continued to crack watch her little daughter had started to agilely press the keys even though the sounding scale was not yet regular. Sarah will definitely support positive things that are good for the development of her baby.
"Mama, now I'm trying to play the piano, yeah!" nurbanu Pinta.
"All right, honey!" Sarah placed her fingers over the row of keys correctly.
"What song can you play?" ask Nurbanu, excited.
"Eum ... What song, yes!" Sarah's eyes whirled while remembering something. "You hear this, yeah!"
"Yes, Ma."
Slowly, Sarah's fingers pressed the piano keys with a flick, producing a beautiful melody. At that time, Shehan who happened to go home because he wanted to take the documents stored in his study was shocked when he heard the flow of a very familiar melody in his ear.
Then, Shehan turned around. No going to his study. Instead of moving to the piano room. The closer his footsteps were, the clearer the melody was heard. Shehan finds Sarah playing the piano next to her daughter.
The deg!
Unintentionally, Shehan was crushed. His memories of the past four years are back. At that time Sarah played the piano with the same melody on her birthday. They were a happy and harmonious couple according to Shehan before Jody came and separated Sarah from him.
Shehan shook his head, watching from the doorway. When Sarah turned her head, she gasped to see that Shehan had been there for some time.
"Shehan, why are you standing there? Come on, sit down with us!" take Sarah with a sweet smile.
"Yes, Pa. Come on, here, Pa! We play piano with Mama!" Nurbanu chimed in with excitement.
"Hmmm...." Shehan cleared his throat and approached the two. He was sitting on the same bench as his ex-wife. Nurbanu is the one who separates them.
Shehan returns to live Sarah's piano playing. He was so happy to hear the melody. However, it was then and now that when he heard it again from the same person, his heart felt hollow.
Back to the present.
When the three were chatting, Lilis who had just returned from the hospital accidentally saw their closeness. Nurbanu laughed cheerfully. Sarah also smiled happily, free without burden. While Shehan, Lilis did not see her husband's expression due to Shehan's position behind her.
Sorrowfully LiIis turned away. Swinging his weak steps away from the piano room. He continued to walk up to the courtyard of the house, until he came out of the main gate. While continuing to walk on the sidewalk without knowing where the destination is. Sometimes he wipes his blood until his hands are soiled with blood and the attention of those who cross paths with him.
Conscious of people staring at him with suspicious eyes, LiIis finally stopped at the bus stop and sat there. He picked up a packet of wet tissue from inside the bag he was wearing and then began to clean his bloodied hands.
A while passed, even though his hands were already clean, but LiIis was still reluctant to go home. Stay seated at the stop while daydreaming alone. There were a few buses that stopped. However, Lilis flinkered not caring until the bus finally left again.
Among the crowd of drivers on the highway, a man saw Lilis sitting alone at a bus stop. Not just sitting, the man also realized that Lilis' face was slightly lowered and looked moody.
