Don't Call My Name
S2-You're Offending Me
166
“So what should I be like, Bang?” tanya Alma tried to strengthen her defense so as not to collapse. Remember Alma, this is still the beginning. Be patient! Your path is still very long, so the mind whispers.
“Better silence lah!” exclaim Umar.
“Do not make our household damaged because of trivial causes ..” Alma spoke slowly, so that Umar would also lower his tone.
“You offended me,” Umar bluntly.
“Even your treatment from yesterday is more offensive to me,” said Alma did not want to lose. In comparison, of course, he was more hurt than him. But Alma chose silence. Do not want to voice protests in order to keep the relationship between the two in order to remain always good. “If you feel that my words made you feel that way, try to introspect. Is there something wrong with you?”
This time Umar was silent.
“Awareness, Bang. Your attitude is sometimes unpleasant. Even the same people who have absolutely no problems with you. And all of that was caused by something ...” Alma moved closer to Umar. “Because you never failed to get married, didn't you?”
“Do not talk nonsense!” rebuttal Umar.
“I'm not talking nonsense, your father said it himself. Your failure to marry that woman did change your attitude that was better than now,” said Alma.
Alma tried to lure him yesterday, by asking, “do you have a past?”
With the hope that Umar would open up and share so that the man was a little more relieved. Because all this time Umar was confused, had to share with whom. The man thought that everyone could not be friendly with him. Even the closest people.
But Umar chose to cover it up. Doesn't matter. That is his right. Alma thanked Umar. Because indirectly, the man is trying to keep his feelings.
After a few minutes, Umar moved from where he stood. Then dropped his body on the bed. Sitting on Alma's back.
“Never tell me to go,” said Alma. Umar felt a warm embrace on his back. Makes him feel more comfortable.

The next day, Umar returned to his usual activities. It's just, he always leaves during the day because he's so relaxed he works. He will only come on time when urgent, the rest to check the report, control, sometimes occasionally help serve buyers if all baristas are in trouble.
“Let me do it,” pinta Alma caught the hand of Umar who was buttoning his shirt. She served him wholeheartedly in order to fully gain the heart of her husband.
“Can I come?” alma Pinta. “I'm bored if I have to be home alone.”
“I'm not going anywhere. Just to the Cafe just take money.”
“Where to date? Your people just another monthly guest arrival.”
“Dating does not have to be filled with intimate things.”
“Mus-ta-hil!” the word Umar speaks of it.
“Why impossible?”
“Quick change your clothes, he says he wants to come.”
“Can I speak a better language?”
“Yes, quickly change your clothes Alma Darling .. don't wait until your husband's head is horned deer.”
Alma shook her head. His voice was smooth, but out of sync with the look on his face that was holding back the upset.
A few minutes later Alma came out, the girl wearing a pastel blue dress and a matching hijab and purdah.
Umar saw the two of them side by side in the reflection of the glass door. The man seemed to be holding back a smile so that made Alma ask, what's wrong with him?
“Then I look like a sharia mafia, ” replied Umar could no longer hold back his laughter.
“Where is there?” Alma laughed.
Both are in a car. There is no more tension like yesterday because what exists today is a joke of laughter from the two of them. Go for a walk, snack, play games, shopping, eat at restaurants. They date until they spend a whole day.
Umar had even forgotten, when was the last time he thought of Sarah.
