A lot of passenger traffic sounds a little noisy in Sofia's ear. There is a relief of its own when its fine fingers hold a night bus ticket to Surabaya. Yeah, he wants to go home. His home, the most beautiful place in his life. The most loving and loving place.
A few minutes later, the bus came a few minutes later. Hurry up to get a plastic bag containing wet bread and drinks that he had bought earlier in the stall near the bus agent. Sofia moved to find a seat.
He who has no appetite forced himself to fill his stomach with warm food and buy bread and drinks just in case his stomach back hungry later. There was another life he had to take care of. Sofia stroked her stomach affectionately.
"Darling.we met your grandparents huh? We'll start a new life there. Mama promised to take good care of you." she whispered as she wiped the tears that had come down her cheeks.
"Excuse me." A short-haired woman sat herself beside Sofia and smiled politely. He put his backpack on the bus floor.
"You want to go to Surabaya, too?" ask Sofia. The woman next to him looked friendly and beautiful. His tall body was so in tune with the ideal shape. Just look at the material pants and white cotton shirt that is attached to the right fit on his body adds the impression of dashing but sweet.
"Yes nyo.ehh mbak. Sorry, I'm used to calling my employer at work." warm reply.
" Where's the mama working?" actually Sofia is not the type of kepo woman who is curious, but the warm aura of the woman next to her makes her want to talk a little. If the woman was going to Surabaya, then the next few hours they will still sit together. It doesn't hurt if they talk a little, does it? After all, she was not an arrogant woman who did not want to greet others.
"I'm a staff at a foreign company" he replied briefly. A sweet smile never faded from her face that might be the same age as her.
"introduce, I'm Sofia." the woman shook Sofia's hand warmly.
"I'm Theresa. The original son of Surabaya?"
"No, I'm from area X. It is still far from the airport. Maybe about 4 hours from there." Sofia explained. The woman named Theresa nodded her head. His hand opened the phone app nimbly and then closed it.
"Maybe we're in the same direction. I'm going to town Y."
"Origin' there?"
"No. Just visiting brother's house."
Their conversation continued until drowsiness attacked Sofia. Meeting people like Therese a little makes her heart happy. At least he could forget a little of the burden of his heart. Theresa is a mature woman who has extensive knowledge and heartbreak. He also doesn't want to know his personal business. Theresa's made him comfortable. That's why Sofia had no qualms about sleeping next to him due to exhaustion.
Theresa woke herself up upon arriving at the rest area, asking if she wanted anything or not. But Sofia refused and continued to sleep until morning. The bus was approaching Surabaya. There was nothing Sofia prepared to bring down because she was carrying nothing but her small bag. Only Theresa's thick blanket she had prepared to return. Last night Theresa forced Sofia to wear it because the cold mixed with Ac made her freeze. Ahhe..Theresa is really kind.
"Sir, we go home together. I picked up my brother. I'll take you home first."
"No need to take a taxi online." Sofia's not feeling well. Therese was very attentive to him.
"Didn't believe me?"
"That's not what I mean, but I'm afraid of being troublesome."
"Come.Come! That's my sister coming." Theresa unceremoniously pulled Sofia's hand to follow her to the black car that had just entered the parking area. A little hesitant Sofia was in the middle seat, while Theresa was sitting next to her. Sofia smiled slightly stiffly as she saw the face of a man her husband's age driving the car. Her face looks like Theresa.
A few hours walk, they enter the area where Sofia lives. The expanse of rice fields and sugar cane gardens became a sight along the way. Sofia who is so long for her hometown seemed to find new hope until she did not realize if she had arrived in front of the house at 12 noon, when the sun was hot.
"You know my house?" tanyanya. The house looks empty even though the door is open. At this hour, his father has not come home. Only her mother was home.
"Asalamualaikum" he said softly.
"Getishalam."
Degs...
deg .... .
deeggghs...
That voice??..
"You're thirty minutes late." the baritone's voice was so firm that it made Theresa and her brother bow.
"Pardon us young master." reply the two together. Sofia's heart also seemed to come out of her chest cavity because her husband, Fernando, had been sitting casually beside her father, enjoying black coffee made by her mother.
"Hmmm.. . Rest."
"Well young master." then both of them passed towards the car in the courtyard. Fernando got up from his seat and stepped closer to Sofia. Sofia's mind was puffed up. Nando must have told his father everything. Maybe he wanted to return this failed girl to his father. He just lives to commit himself to fate.
"Darling are you tired? why are you so stubborn, hem??" she said as she gently stroked Sofia's head wrapped in a green leaf veil.
What????....what did this man say??? He doesn't feel guilty. Look at her who has brought Sofia into her arms and kissed her forehead shamelessly in front of her father-in-law. Sofia's heart is hard.
"Fi, next time don't bother your husband. Don't be that weird. Putai wants to take the bus at night and not allow suaminu to come along. You think Nando's son isn't confused what? The bus you were riding on was even escorted by a few bodyguards all the way here. Not to mention your husband had to take a blind morning flight to get to you first. Owe nduk, if nyidam is easy-easy mbokyo." grumbled his father a little annoyed. Just now Sofia wanted to open her mouth to explain her sitting, a burly arm embracing her.
"It's okay dad, for the sake of our son-in-law, whatever I'm going to do."
"I'm sorry Sofia, son."
"There's nothing to forgive well, hmmm..Why can I take Sofia a break? Looks like he's tired."
"Ohh yeah, of course son. Take your wife to the room. He looks confused. Must be tired."
"Well yeah. We go to the room first." Nando immediately pulled Sofia's soft hand and led her to the room.
"Mas, what does all this mean?" ask Sofia not understand. All he does is stay away from Nando and start a new life. But why did this guy even follow her here?
