That afternoon happened to be Rangga came home quickly. Nimblely the man in his early forties rushed to tidy up his house. His wife for a week had to volunteer for health in disaster-hit areas on a remote Indonesian island.
The plan was that today his wife should return.
His sour face these days turned bright like the sunrise after his wife a few hours ago informed him that they had entered the Jakarta area.
But it had been an hour Rangga waited, his wife did not also appear.
" Where the hell is this?" Mumbled furious.
He stared at his hour for the umpteenth time.
" Huhh.., swim first..."
Rangga, who had missed his wife so much, chose to relax his tense muscles these few days.
Meera and Maureen spent several days staying at Hendrawan Wijaya's grandfather's house to coincide with the son of Janu's daughter who was visiting Indonesia. Almeer chose to continue his studies in Germany following Lenox.
Byur.spashh...
Only the sound of water being heard in a house that was so quiet.
Had occurred to Rangga's mind, it should have been for as many children as possible so that his house is not as lonely as it is now.
While Ara's car drove down the street of the housing complex where she lived a dozen years ago.
In front of the gate was seen a young man sitting on his motorbike, his gaze fixed on the building of his house.
As the car began to enter the gate, Ara let down her car and opened the glass, then stopped perfectly.
" Find who's boy?" Ask Ara kindly.
" Ahhh..ehh.i.it..tante, is this really Almaeera Haura Siddiqi's house?" The young man replied no less friendly.
" Right, and I'm her mommy. Go in first yuk, we're talking inside.." Bring Ara friendly.
" Hhh ehhh, don't be aunt. Thanks earlier. I'm just worried, since the graduation exam, Almaeera is not seen again at the school "Advanced young man is polite.
" Oh that's because my daughter took her sister's test in Germany.." Sahut Ara's.
A sad look on the young man's face.
" Germany?"
" Yes, in Berlin Germany. But Almaeera didn't get away, so she decided to go to college..." Continue with Ara again.
The young man was seen rubbing his chest in relief, and Arapun only smiled a little.
" Yes my aunt came back first.thank you aunt, sorry to disturb aunt.." Take it politely.
" Yes, you're both..."
Ara stared at the young man's movements, and continued to stare until the motor she was riding lost at the end of the road.
" The young man is polite and seems kind. It's clear from her eyes she likes Meera, but her laugh is very heavy, there's Saga.."
" Emm, my dear old son.., how are you doing, son?" Ara pokes a little photo of Saga who was always on her car dashboard, her son before she had Almeer.
Ara entered her house that looked so deserted.
Where is Rangga?
He said he had come home..
Ara across the dining room, the smell of cooking is still so fragrant filled the room, meaning that not long ago Rangga cooked.
The gurgling sound of water in the direction of the swimming pool made Ara step into the origin of the sound.
Looking at Rangga's neatly folded clothes on the poolside chair, his lips revealed a smile that was so sweet.
Arapun began to pass the clothes he was wearing, leaving a tanktop and knee-length shorts.
The actual Rangga is finished with its swimming activity, currently rinsing at the end of the pool.
The man did not realize his wife was snuggling behind him.
Greb...
A sudden hug from his smooth hand that coiled his stomach almost made Rangga's heart dislodged. But when he saw the wedding ring on his finger, his smile was perfect.
" Astagfirullah.surprised brother dear, almost brother reflex want to slam earlier..." Rangga said by turning his body, then pulled his wife closer.
Rangga's full kiss in the lab was born with Ara's lips.
" Want to be slammed?, where?" Ara asked after escaping the torment of Rangga's favor.
" The mattress...." Rangga said quickly, then grabbed the lips that were missed eight days and seven nights were greedy again.
" Why just came home?, he said he had entered Jakarta?" Now Ara's wet body has been carried by Rangga to their room.
"We have to check the tool first.., make a weekly report first.., and yes..." Answer Ara.
Rangga's eyes looked shocked at something in his wife's open smooth white skin.
" Sister also wants to check something now.." Rangga said full of mystery, his eyes continue to be busy researching the skin of Ara's body from top to bottom.
" What?"
" There is..." Say again.
Bruggh...
His wife's body was washed down in haste.
" Open the tanktop fast.." Said Rangga impatiently.
Ara glared in surprise, recalling flying to decades ago, when Ara came home with Lenox.
Rangga was startled, his eyes glared in disbelief!, his wife yelled at him.
" Loh?, what do you think, baby?. Look at this.., I just want to apply this to those mosquito bite marks on your body..." Rangga Sahut.
" Abaghfirullahalazim.., it turns out so many bad things I did to you all this time baby, to the point that it keeps stored in your memory, I'm sorry...." Rangga kissed the head of Ara.
" No, it's not so Bi. We rarely part after we get back together. When you had to teach in Boston a week a month, I was always with you, and only this time we split up a long time ago.."
" And then you suddenly asked me to undress.., my thoughts went straight there..."
Rangga smiled and rattled Ara's hair at a glance, gently the man applied the medicine to Ara's body.
...***...
" Bi..., if you take meera and Maureen before you go home. Meera must have forgotten that in a few days UTBK at the University of Indonesia" said Ara while tidying her husband's tie.
" Hmm, yes, baby. Today I also have a schedule at Meera High School as a speaker, with Saga"
" Saga?"
" Hemm yes dear, Saga sent UI to SMU Bhakti as their brand ambassador.."
" Wahh.., you're rivals dong.."
" Yes, each university has its own vision and mission. Although Meera and Almeer did not choose the college place where her daddy taught, it didn't matter.." Rangga hugged his wife tightly even until Ara was completely pinched.
" Emmppp, this cleaner!!" Seru Ara's.
" Ha.ha.ha .., very fond of this Liliku dedek..." Said Rangga still did not remove his wound.
" Dihh..start alay..." Ara pinched Rangga's waist in anxiety.
Rangga folded his seeds holding amused.
" Sister left first, baby. Don't cook!, don't clean the house!. Remember the words dear sister, REST!!" Said Rangga firmly.
" Yes, Yes.prepare husband..." Sahut Ara's.
...***...
Almaeera was already in the hall with all the students of class XII SMU Bhakti, actually Almaeera was lazy to leave this morning. The girl felt no need to gain enlightenment about the University she wanted to choose. Because he has made a choice, namely the University of Indonesia.
His reason?
Because there's a saga there?
The answer is no and no.
The innocent girl to this day has nothing to do with Saga, they were close only until Meera graduated Junior High and Saga passed SMU. Although from a small they are always betrothed, but the more here Saga looks increasingly indifferent, no matter what happens. And she grew up normal like any other girl.
When his daddy went up to the podium as a speaker, Almaeera who sat in the front row smiled sweetly and threw a finger heart at his first lover, Rangga Bayu Wijaya.
Unaware by Meera, a dashing and handsome young man stared at her from beside the stage. There was an incredible longing to feed the mountain in his heart at this moment. Yes, that young man is Saga Vino Malik.
Although living in Jakarta and settled in White Base with several other boys. Saga and Meera rarely meet because of their respective busyness. Sometimes when Saga took time to the home of his Army mom, it was at that time Meera was not home.
Understand that although the sons of Ara are three, they are not their own. Mommy Tara will always master all three from day to day.
When the call from the host mentioned the name of Saga Vino Malik to take the stage, Almaeera's body suddenly jolted in shock. Her sweet smile just a moment ago as the presence of her daddy on the stage instantly vanished instantly.
Her pretty face turned stiff and sad. When his eyes accidentally collided with Saga's eyes, the pain that was creeping in his heart made his eyes so painful. The girl threw away her eyes in every direction to hide her tears that began to come out.
Saga Vino Malik, the young man was so disappointed to see Almaeera throw her face when he saw her. He was very longing, even almost crazy for enduring this longing.
When asked by the campus to come to SMU Bhakti as a speaker, the young man even forgot the time for several days. Because it was so happy to imagine being able to meet his Almaeer, his little girl, his love..
But look...
The real rejection again obtained from Almaeera, the girl always threw away her face when she wanted to be looked at.
Actually not only one or two girls, but dozens who have been rejected since long ago. And the reason is only one, which is his great love for Almaeera.
The host who is a classmate of Meera himself even repeatedly gave praise and flattery for how handsome Saga Vino Malik was. Even the boys genk somplak just admit it.
But Meera stays the same, she just keeps her head down as long as Saga is ahead.
It hurts, that's how Saga feels right now. Apparently it was true what her brother had said years ago. That it is enough that we only love, because keeping love is hard and painful, as it feels today.
Rangga Bayu Wijaya who sat beside the headmaster could very well see all, what happened between Saga and her daughter.
" What really happened to you?, you were so affectionate, even sticky like glue and particles, why is it now like this?" Batin Rangga.
...*...
The next event is friendly, some children can ask directly to Rangga and Saga about further information from the University they offer.
A young man approached Rangga boldly. The young man was standing right in front of Rangga who was now carrying Saga, because the event was over.
" Good afternoon om, is it true that Almaeera Haura Siddiqi, XII MIPA 1?"
" Oh, that's right..." Answer Rangga friendly.
" Include me Ryan Wicaksana, Almaeera's classmate "The young man thrust his hand out to shake hands.
Inevitably Rangga released his embrace to Saga and welcomed the hand to be held.
" Om, if allowed I want to come to the house om to get closer to the daughter om, Almaeera. Because honestly, from the first orientation of students to today I like the daughter om..."
The duarrr!!!!
" OMG how dare this child!!, Crazy!!, this is a drop of Sunny do not-don't" Rangga's inner shock.
Saga who was also shocked involuntarily retreated to the wall due to overwhelming shock.
While Almaeera herself was in shock and covered her gaping mouth, her position was now right behind Saga. And the three men in front of him no one was aware of his existence.
