The POV Haris
The world of singles returned to kumasuki, after my status officially became a widower. Mom asked me to come home more often and spend the weekend with my family.
“So that you do not feel lonely, it's good for you to stay at home if you have a holiday, Haris.”
I just nodded my head in agreement, at least now is the right time to make amends during my marriage to Diana, I rarely go home.
“Kak Haris needs entertainment, so you have to go home often, later invite monkey masks every week morning to entertain Brother,” seduce my sister. The young girl is now more annoying because she has returned to being my favorite sister as before when I was not married.
“Your mode, just say you want accompanied by a walk on a weekly night so you can make a story otewe watch, otewe road 'right?” my reply made Santi chuckle
Lately I've been more than happy to take a job online. In a week I only went to the office three times. The office doesn't matter if my work is done. Slowly I also started doing renovations on my mother's house, though my mother continued to forbid it.
“This house is still good, don't waste your money, Haris. Mom and Santi comfortable, really, stay here with the state of the house as it is.”
That's how she never demanded anything from me. From the time I was a bachelor, until I got married. Mom just left Santi and asked me to pay for her school.
“Haris, your money should you save it, saved for your wedding later,” added Mother. I just smiled while shaking my head.
“Married to whom, Mom? Candidates just don't have it,” I complained as I stared at some small children playing running around in front of our house.
“Until now Haris still has not thought of getting married, Bu.” She looked at me with a hard look to explain. Between sadness, concern and pity.
“You can't stay single, son. Mom, so think that you have no one to take care of.” She never stopped looking at the little things I needed.
“Once, Haris is completely unthinkable to get married anytime soon. Haris's heart is only attached to Keysha, if he can't be with her, it looks like Haris won't marry again, Miss”
This time it was clear that was drawn on the face of the mother, was the look of the face of sadness. I got up and left my mother, not wanting to make the woman I stood up to more sad. I honestly wanted to bring Keysha's memories and enjoy it for a moment.
“Keysha, where are you now?” my mind wailed in search of the woman who had turned my world.
***
My days passed without anything changing. The routine I do is the same. Work from home, occasionally waiting for a handyman who is renovating the house, this time only the fence that must be tidied up.
One afternoon suddenly Santi approached me, while I was working on an office assignment, my gaze still fixed on the laptop on the porch of the house.
“Duh, that's very serious. Here, Santi make coffee so don't mumet.” Santi put one cup of coffee on the terrace table.
“Still, San. How are you at school? Now Brother see you haven't entered school yet.”
“Udah ran his test last week, just waiting for his diploma to come out aja.” My heart is relieved to find Santi has finished his schooling. Soon he will be busy with college.
“San, you went to college at the college you wanted, right?” I asked while grabbing his coffee.
Although a beginner, Santi's coffee blend tastes good. He mixes up some coffee brands like a bartender. One of his hobbies is making coffee. Therefore he wants to work part-time at a famous franchise coffee restaurant. I still haven't allowed her to focus on school.
“Iya Kak, Santi again prepare the requirements," said Santi assented.
"Can you ask me something?” he asked politely while sitting on the chair that was located in front of me. Tumben once this girl, usually just straight nyerocos without brakes.
“You ask what? Brother will not allow you first to work, later if you have to go to college on campus that you want, then Brother consider again. Must be wooing, right?! No, Brother won't give permission!” I replied firmly before he whined like before.
“Ihhh, I like you to know. Not a matter of work, Santi want to ask how are the women who are close to Big Brother? Ceritain dong with Santi, what kind of person?”
I took a deep breath. There was no wind, rain, or tsunami, and he suddenly asked about Keysha. It must be the mother who told me about Keysha from the information Diana gave her.
“Keysha is good, beautiful, simple, her smile is beautiful. According to Brother, she is the only woman who has the most beautiful smile on earth.”
“Till the whole thing. Big sister love yes, same Sister Keysha?” continue with curiosity.
Again I took a deep breath, there was only this question of Santi. If he knew that I would let go of everything to be able to live with Keysha.
“Yes, Brother dear to her. It feels like you have never felt this dear as a woman. If it is far away gini languish, but if it is near it feels calm.” My eyes closed again imagining the smile that Keysha once gave me.
“So up to now Brother is still expecting Kak Keysha?” go after Santi again.
I nodded my head, there was no point in covering up the truth of my heart to Santi.
“Of course, Brother did make a mistake approaching him while still having a wife. But Brother does not regret it, now when the circumstances are different, he just disappeared somewhere.”
Santi was silent at my words, I don't know what was in his mind. He must have thought I was now a true pussy to a woman named Keysha. It's okay, so I kept my word.
“To be honest, you can't forget Keysha. I am sure I will be happy with him. Keysha is a gentle and loving woman. Keysha also never complains and is always cheerful. Brother guarantee if you know him, surely you will like him.”
Imagining it has made my heart long and hurt. Pain because he had left me.
“Kakak is right, really, once met with him Santi did immediately like.”
I sharpened my hearing, it looks like I misheard.
“Try repeating again, you why earlier? Meet her? With Keysha?”
“Iya, Brother, I have met with Brother Keysha and it is true. Although I have only met a few times, I just immediately like him.” Santi's eyes grew bigger, as if to convince me of what he was going through.
“Seriously you've met Keysha?”
Santi nodded his head.
“Kak Keysha also helped mom when she fell in the bathroom. I had no choice but to call her, we both immediately took mom to the hospital,” replied Santi while looking at me signifying his words were not kidding.
What kind of joke is this? I can hardly believe it. Is it true that the universe always connects us? This must be God's way, I'm sure Keysha is my soul mate.
“So you know where Keysha lives?” I just can't wait.
“I have the number, if Big Brother wants to talk to him, then Santi kasih. For where he lives Santi has never been there,” replied Santi excitedly.
Not only was he excited, my heart also suddenly warmed to the thought of the woman I loved being still within reach.
All this time almost every night I miss her and her face always comes in my dreams.
“Kak, if his face is ordinary, dong!” goda Santi while pinching my arm.
“Sister should see him soon, Santi. This time I don't want to be late anymore. Keysha has already suffered a lot because of Brother, now Brother will make up for it.
“Ciehh so far, not necessarily also Kak Keysha want to see Big Brother, Last we met Kak Keysha know that Kak Diana is pregnant with big sister. Sad to know, brother, when he came home from the hospital after looking at mother.”
I can imagine how Keysha felt back then he must have been destroyed.
“There is another one, at first mother blamed Sister Keysha before knowing that Diana was a traitor.” I really can't say anything hearing Santi's explanation.
Tbc.
Did you meet?? Hehehehe,
