The house feels empty. The usual rants that adorn the ears are no longer heard. There is only loneliness that accompanies the days of Zafan. Since his honesty at that time, Laurent had more locked himself in the room. No matter what your job as a wife is. He also left Akram at the home of his parents. Afraid that the boy would understand his domestic problems.
Weekends
Usually this morning, Zafan spends his time in the room with Laurent. Just kidding in bed. Remembering the good times when they were still dating. Now, however, he had to be alone in the back garden. Staring at the sun that began to emerge from the eastern horizon.
Sometimes looking inward. Wishing the wife would catch up and hug her from behind, gave her a surprise. However, that is only if that will not happen.
''Does Aden want to eat now?'' ask the aunt who just came.
''No, Bi. I want to wait for Laurent, Zafan replied as he always said before.
''But non Laurent said he didn't want breakfast. He immediately wanted to go to Layin's house, said the aunt as Laurent said just now.
Zafan's forehead frowned. Then, he stood up from his seat and entered. Knocked on the door repeatedly.
''Open the door, baby!" tell Zafan in a soft voice. Unceasingly tapping, even several times turning the knob tried to open it. But no, Laurent did deliberately lock it from the inside.
Anxious ravages filled Zafan's heart space. There was nothing he could do but wait for Laurent to come out. Confirming what aunt said.
The door opened from inside. Sure enough, Laurent looks beautiful with a black dress with a matching hijab. The shirt seemed to symbolize his gloomy heart. The woman's eyes also looked swollen and reddened making Zafan's heart ache.
''I beg you not to go, '' Pinta Zafan said.
''What should I do to forgive me?'' added again. Holding Laurent's arms. Not even letting his wife take it off.
There's no answer. Laurent was reluctant to look at Zafan's face. Every time he came face to face, he must have imagined the man hugging another woman. And that made him want to split up soon.
''For now I want to be alone. We better introspect ourselves first.'' Lower Zafan's hand slowly.
''For a few days I want to stay at the home of my father and mother.''
Zafan could do nothing but accept. It's free to prohibit, it will only make things worse. Moreover, Laurent's feelings must still be destroyed because of his confession at that time.
''Maybe now you consider me a disgusting piece of trash. But please give me another chance to make you and Akram happy. Without you, I would not have been able to continue living.'' dare to hug Laurent from behind and kiss the woman's shoulder.
While Laurent was busy wiping his suddenly wet cheeks. As much as possible look strong and strong when in front of her husband. He needed to clear his mind on his own, however.
''I go first, '' said Laurent straightforwardly.
''I will take you, '' answered Zafan offering.
''No need, I can go alone, ''' Laurent refused firmly.
Her legs felt heavy. Leaving Zafan and a house that has many memories between the two. The dream home that they had been relying on for five years, and provided warmth for his small family.
Laurent's arrival was warmly welcomed by Erlan and Layin. The problems that occurred in his household were not known to his family. Only Yunan and Cassandra knew. They deliberately silenced Laurent's permission.
''He's not coming, Mom, he's busy, '' Laurent replied lying.
There's no way he's being honest, it's just going to shock Layin and keep thinking. Maybe silence would be better. How thought.
''Absolutely come?'' Smile in the corner of Yunan's lips to see his beloved sister has arrived home.
''Yes, Brother. I've been here five days, kangen. Follow smile. Hiding his grief in front of his mother and brother.
''Akram is fine. He also did not ask you, instead he said to tell you to stay with his papa, let have a sister, said Layin as Akram said last night.
Laurent's smile dimmed instantly. Reluctant to talk about his relationship with Zafan is not okay.
''You're thinner, Rent.'' Layin scanned the princess' body. Erlan did the same.
''It's normal, Mom. Maybe because I rarely see me as a pangling." Laurent dodges. He also felt his body thinner than usual.
How not, five days after Zafan's confession, he had no appetite. His days were filled with daydreaming and sleep. Every day only consume two glasses of milk for energy alone.
In the midst of his conversation, Cassandra came. The women were very happy with Laurent's arrival. Grateful to have been able to see it directly after a few days can only say hello through a mobile phone.
''Today is my schedule to check.'' Swiping Yunan's arm, reminding.
''Ah yes, I forgot, alright we will check yes.'' Swiped Cassandra's flat stomach and kissed her and whispered something.
''I'm coming, I also want to see the baby.'' Khalisa approached his parents. Followed by Akram from behind who did not lose kepo.
''Ok, later we will see the baby together, '' replied Yunan agreed.
''Can we talk?'' cassandra whispered in Laurent's ear.
The woman nodded then followed her sister-in-law towards the back porch. They sat in line, staring at the fish pond.
''What's up, brother?" laurent asked.
''Fifteen minutes ago Zafan called me. He apologized for the mess. If you want him to be honest with mom and dad, he will also admit his depravity in front of them. Ask about Akram's situation and also ask Brother Yunan to take care of you. I know, Rent. It's very heavy. There are even only a few women who can deal with it.'' Stopped saying.
''You are so amazing. When your husband made a terrible mistake. You still have patience and persevere with this marriage. Only certain people can be like you."
Grab Laurent's hand and grab him. ''How do you feel about Zafan?'' ask Cassandra curiously.
''I still love him very much, brother. Even when he makes a mistake, I don't want to ask for a divorce. I don't want to get married a second time. But I was also afraid, afraid that Zafan would repeat his mistake again.'' Laurent's crying broke again. He was unable to stem his tears that accumulate in the fertilizer.
Maybe telling a story will reduce a little bit of the heavy burden that settles.
''Follow your heart. Surely God has planned something better" said Cassandra reassured.
