Messages...


Faisal who was rejoicing suddenly changed after receiving a message from an unknown number.


“Why, Bang?” cut asked when he saw the look on her husband's face that suddenly changed.


“Nothing. A minute, huh?” Faisal left his wife and he immediately dialed the anonymous number. Several times Faisal tried but no one answered his call across there. Now, his calmness was lost with the contents of the message and then he unconsciously tried to count with his finger. “It should be about two or three months old.”


A few days after a message from an unknown number broke into his phone, Faisal's life seemed far from tranquility. He even had nightmares for a few nights until he woke Iskandar. Faisal's change in attitude did not escape the sight of the wife. Cut had several times caught Faisal contacting someone but never saw him speak.


The unknown number was like reluctantly answering a call from Faisal. But the message sent was able to soften the tranquility of a Faisal's life. On the sidelines of his work, he even still asked some colleagues who are known to be close to Shinta while working at the same hospital. But the results are always nil, Shinta seemed to disturb his life at this time by telling about the condition of the baby without wanting to talk too far.


“What does this SMS of yours mean? Please pick up my phone!” finally Faisal sent a message back to the number after a week passed that number still did not want to pick up the phone.


Ting…


A message came in after five minutes of waiting in hope. Faisal who was then given a night picket ration immediately opened the message.


“You can already live a quiet life, he has returned to heaven. He knew you didn't acknowledge his presence so he chose to return to heaven. She's my little angel, a very pretty princess who looks a lot like you. Hope you are happy to hear this news.”


Faisal rubbed his face violently, his heart and mind instantly becoming agitatedly mixed. He called Shinta's number again, but it was not answered.


Ting…


“Do not contact me! Our business is done when you deny it as your flesh and blood.”


Again, Shinta only replied through a message. Faisal finally chose to reply to Shinta's message.


“What happened? What's he sick?” faisal wrote.


“Cih...for what do you want to know? Didn't you admit it?”


“Do not reply to questions with questions, Shin!”


“You have no right to know.”


“Then why did you tell me if she was in ICU?”


“I just want to let you know.”


“Hah..I don't understand your way of mind. Now answer my phone!”


Faisal called again and Shinta picked up the phone.


“Emm...” the first word that comes out of Shinta's mouth when answering Faisal's phone.


“Shin..”.


“Emmm..”


“How are you?”


“Hah, are you asking me? Of course I'm very good, very happy even now I'm wanting to drink, to the club and then dance like before when with you.”


Faisal felt slapped.


“Sorry,” said Faisal full of regrets.


“Telat, you've done me and our son. His heart is so holy for you to hurt even before he sees the world.”


“Shin..” call Faisal down.


“Already! Talking to you will only make me hurt again. Live quietly with your wife and child there!”


Tut's….


Shinta ended the call, while Faisal was only a thousand words silent with a difficult feeling to describe.


Last night taking care of the patients of the victims of the accident in the ER made Faisal very exhausted until finally finished the picket he immediately went home.


“Assalamualaikum..” say hello with tired face.


“Walaikumsalam.. dad came home,” Cut said to the son who was held by his grandmother.


“Daddy shower used to run out it went straight to sleep. Very tired of handling accident patients one group.”


Faisal never approached any of his family members at home if he came home from the hospital. He went straight to the bathroom and went to sleep if he was so tired as he is now. Everyone in his house is very understanding including Cut as wife. After finishing feeding the son, Cut returned to his room.


Meanwhile, Iskandar immediately went with his grandparents because today is Saturday.


Every Saturday and Sunday morning, Iskandar would walk with his grandparents around the complex.


While at home, the mother faced tremendous inner upheaval when she accidentally read a message that went into her husband's phone.


“I hope one day you can meet him. You should know if your daughter is like a photocopy of your face female version.”


A new message came in when Cut was cleaning up the dirty clothes belonging to the husband. Cut pulled out the phone that was still stored in the husband's white coat pocket and the message appeared. A wife's curiosity and instincts forced Cut to open the phone to look further.


How shocked Cut was when he read all the messages that came in and out of the husband's phone. Cut's blood seemed to boil, he looked at Faisal who was asleep from exhaustion. Cut's heart and mind wanted to doubt all that but from what they wrote it felt impossible to doubt.


Cut took the phone and took it out of the room.


“Emmm...why did you call me so early? Are you very curious about your daughter's face?”


Degs…


The question came out as his phone was answered. “Women's voice” Inner Cut.


“Assalamualaikum, sorry who is this?” ask Cut in hopes this number is misaligned.


“Walaikumsalam, how's Cut doing? Have not seen each other for a long time. How is Iskandar? He must be big and handsome like his father. Do you not remember me anymore? When Iskandar akikah time, I attended even though I did not bring gifts for him but I brought gifts for his father. But alas, Faisal did not accept it.”


“Sister Shinta?” tanya Cut hesitated.


“Yes, it's Shinta. The former lover of that dark husband you are so proud of. Where's she? What is sleeping because from last night we keep sending messages.”


“Can I know what SMS Kak Shinta means?”


“Which one? Oh... about our daughter? Or is his face similar to Faisal?”


“Iya.”


Cut's feelings start to get messy, he almost collapses if he doesn't hold on to the wall.


“Did Faisal not say anything to you? I'm sure I didn't. Since you have already asked, I will answer.”


Shinta says everything is plainly nothing she covered from first meeting Faisal while still in college to what they did until their illicit relationship worked at the same hospital while Faisal was married to Cut and on Iskandar's wedding day he came to inform Faisal of his pregnancy.


Bugs…


“Cutttt.”


The sound of Kak Julie's screams coming out of the room echoed throughout the house to wake Adi up and made his parents who were outside surprised.
