Don't Call My Name
S2 - Don't Sok Akur

Umar closed his mouth tightly. It's true what Alma said just now. He had to keep his mouth from the word of danger that could make him regret.

“Or do you want us to split?” ask Alma lirih. “If so, I sincerely Bang. We are not too far away either. You have to marry me, right? Or does your brother still love that woman? No papa .. I understand. It is not so easy to forget the people we love.”

“Enough Alma! Don't talk nonsense,” reply Umar. “Save your clothes again!”

“I will be there, surviving in a place that values me. And the place is not here ..”

“Lantas where? I deliberately bought this house for you, Alma!”

This time Alma did not answer again. He's not thinking. Just a matter as trivial as this could be a long way to go.

“Jawab, Al!” urge Umar.

Alma Umar sewot. The man opened Alma's suitcase and took the contents back out. Then keep it again in the closet.

“Good. Then let me go and you stay. Like you said, we will meet again if we are calm again.”

BRAKK!

The back door slammed so hard that it made Alma very jerked.

Alma also slid to the floor. She was crying there. No matter if anyone heard her screams.

“Oh Allah ... what is my sin? Why did you send me such a horrible husband?”

For a long time she cried, the door opened. Bi Yati immediately walked in and embraced the poor girl. “Patient yes, Mba .. patient. This is what is called marriage. There's gotta be an ordeal.”

“Please don't tell anyone about Umar yes, Bi. Especially to his family.”

“Take it easy, Mba. Aunty won't tell anyone.”

The old woman was amazed. So badly hurt, she was still trying to protect her husband's good name. Baby, the young man doesn't know himself. If only this woman were him, don't expect that man to survive. Things must have floated up his head.

♧♧♧

Two days have passed since that incident. For two days Umar did not return home. I don't know where the guy lives because until now, he hasn't given it up at all.

Alma's restless. He was very lonely to be in this house even though there were others accompanying him. Still, he wanted Umar who was always by his side. Yes, just Umar.

If anyone asks how the question is now, he already has a special feeling when they first met. Alma harbors her feelings for the man because she is convinced that Umar will be her partner.

Is that a mistake?

Sure didn't. She loves her own husband. There is nothing wrong regardless of his attitude. But puzzlingly, what about the man's feelings for her? Because of the looks, their feelings don't seem the same.

“How to tell, where is Brother's position now?”

Alma wanted to contact him first, but she didn't want the man to become a pawn.

“Did I go home to Ummi? But I'm afraid he's getting mad.”

Alma bit her lower lip. Loneliness is torture. He was tired of all the activities he did.

“Mba, no guests!” yuk Bi Yati from outside.

Geez, so busy daydreaming Umar made his ears like gagged. Hear nothing.

Alma rushed out, welcoming the guest who turned out to be her own mother-in-law. He came with his third child, Mauza.

“Assalamualaikum!” say both at the same time.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Alma replied. “Mama, Mauza? Come, come in, log in!” He invited the two women into his house and received the gifts they had brought.

“Wihhh, throw away his house! Pantesan aja mehong,” Mauza was amazed when he started exploring the area. “Answed already why Umar always stingy to me with Zunai. It turned out that he was collecting money to buy a palace. Shitty!”

“Mama same Mauza accidentally came here, son. After getting married, Umar never brought you to come home,”, Vita told the ghost. “Yesterday came also just by yourself.”

“Agot cuek is the one. We who are sane must be patient.”

“I'm so patient, Ma.”

“How are you doing, Nak?” Vita asked back.

“Alhamdulillah well, Ma.”

“Thank God,” Vita smiled, “Ummi Zul how are you? You often talk to him, right?”

“Alhamdulillah, he is also good. It just so happened that we were having news with each other almost every day.”

“Indeed it should be, son. Keep our parents alerted even though we are busy. They still exist. Being an orphan like me is so bad.”

Alma gave this woman strength by holding her hand.

“Ah, it's okay, son. They haven't been since I was a teenager, it's been a long time. So it feels normal..”.

Mauza returned after touring. “Umar where the hell? Said at home?” she asked.

Alma was surprised. Hasn't Umar not been home for two days? What was Umar hiding from yesterday? Could-can-can?!

Alma suddenly worried. How'this? What do I have to answer? Inner Alma. That girl is not good at lying. Fortunately, he had not been asked anything about Umar. What if the answer and it does not fit? The knowledge of lying is the most embarrassing act.

“Ngapain looking for me? Kangen?”

But suddenly, the voice from above said loudly.

The two women looked up except for Alma. She was still reluctant to see her husband who had repeatedly hurt her heart.

“What are you doing above alone? Cake maling aja,” Mauza ran after him. “From earlier searched instead of down.”

“For sports, don't see what?”

The voice of the two chatting still sounded faint-faced.

“You are no longer fighting, are you?” suddenly Vita asked that which made Alma stutter.

“Eh, ingga, Ma. Engga.”

“Thank God.” the woman breathed a sigh of relief. “Soalnya Mama knows very well how the attitude of the child that is rather difficult to balance. Maybe only Mauza can clop with Umar because he's his twin. If others are rare.”

Vita clasped her daughter-in-law's hand and stared at her intensely. “Mama apologizes if there is a less pleasant treatment Umar, both now and later. We admit .. There must be our mistake in educating him. You know, don't you? A banana even if they come out of a tree, they cannot grow equally. That's what we experienced.”

Alma's dewy eyes looked at the woman's sincerity as she looked at him. He understands how he feels. Look, he was very patient with the attitude of Umar for decades, why did he who just counted days feel unable?

“Alma understand, Ma. Don't worry, Umar treated Alma well, kok ...”

Vita. He knew Alma was covering it up. However, he was reluctant to dig deeper because he did not want to make Alma's heart narrower because he continued to contemplate it. Umar can still change and he is convinced of that.

“Mama tipped Umar to you, he can only be touched with love. Make him love you, son. So that he is weak and easier to navigate.”

Alma nodded, “Alma promise ...”

“Thank you, Son. Thank ye. You are our hope.”

Before long, Umar and Mauza came down. They had a conversation, just drinking coffee and snacking together. Before Mauza and Vita finally say goodbye.

“Akur-akur yes, you guys!” order Vita as their car starts to pass.

“Iya dong, Ma. We will always get along. Aren't you, Al?” the word Umar was very confident and made Alma force a smile. Feeling given the chance, the man also embraced and kissed Alma's cheek in front of them like he had no shame.

Indiscriminately, do not know himself after what he did. Alma was very upset.

After their car moved away, Alma released the hand of Umar who still had his shoulder. “Do not get along well,” he said then moved in.

“Alma!” Umar chased him. Explain why he is still here.
