"No, don't you know?"
Because I did not get an answer from him, I thought maybe Kak Anta did not hear it, I finally tried to repeat it more clearly.
"Anu... Sis, about my past man, did you know? or familiar?"
Hearing me ask such a question, Sister Anta was silent, her hand that was busy stroking my stomach suddenly stopped. He threw a sharp look at me.
"Why suddenly ask about it?" he said while grunting.
My heart seemed to surge, as he became serious. But I dared to look into his eyes. My curiosity was so great that I finally felt a sense of disdain and palpitations, my eyes like burning because I could not wait for the answer.
"Hmm. This is it, sister," I said smilingly and changing my sitting position. "I don't mean to look at the past. Not at all! it's just, I'm a little curious. Because it's... "
I was silent while hanging my words. In silence, I thought about what if I told Sister Anta about my last meeting with Petra that night. How would Anta react if he knew?
"Because what?" Ask me.
"Sister Anta, I'm sorry I lied to you. To be honest at night I was lost, because I met Petra and followed her. I-I followed him not without reason, back then he said about us. He knows about marriage, even he also knows about brother, about sister's work he knows.... "
My eyes are staring left and right, trying to find the right word so that Kak Anta does not misunderstand.
"What does he say?"
"That's all, because when I asked for an explanation he left me quietly."
As soon as I finished answering Sister Anta's question, she got up and sat back in the chair in front of me. Grunting, Anta replied, "I don't know him, okay?"
Her brilliant eyes stared at my face fixedly, although I was actually still not satisfied with Kak Anta's answer. If they don't know each other, then how can Petra know about us?
"really? I was actually very curious, especially when he found out about our marriage and Sister Anta. It's a little awkward."
"Let's know, maybe he found out about it in an unexpected way... "
"meaning?"
"I don't know who he is, Kania! We've both been, right? so, don't care about him anymore."
Brother Anta spoke with a tone starting to rise, his facial expression that was so shady and childish now turned serious and sharp. Like when he interrogates someone.
I looked towards him with a suspicious look, while his face was filled with doubt.
"That's right," I said. "But even though we're together and I don't expect him anymore, I still feel like there's something odd and need an explanation from him." I kept silent for a moment hanging my words. Then continue;
"Sister.. Can you help me find him? I could have sworn that I didn't expect anything from her, just like I said, I needed an explanation, so that my heart wouldn't be constantly overwhelmed with curiosity that would drive me crazy."
Silence was all around us. From the outside the sounds of birds perching sound earthy, maybe now they are fighting over the place. Although I still feel the tension that comes from both of us, slowly Kak Anta back softened.
"It's late, I make dinner first! You just wait here."
So he left me for the kitchen, after gently rubbing my head which was almost filled with his wide palms. He answered without caring what I asked. It's outside his habits. What's up with him? and with me? Maybe he'll follow my wishes. Or it could be reluctant. What if what I said was something wrong that we got a little awkward? And if not too?
The confusing end of the night. The one thing that saved me from getting restless was to set out to him in the kitchen. But, before that I had to change clothes so that my body would be more comfortable until the moon came, rising up into the high heavens. While I let her alone.
Kak Anta is unlikely to climb all the way to the high position he currently achieves without having such a rare personality, and that makes him excel in his profession. A man like himself has made his own personal character, someone whose choices are unpredictable. Between yes or no, and that's why no one can make any conclusions about him.
When Kak Anta decides to do something, it must be done wholeheartedly or not at all. Despite the fact that he has a lover and they love each other, the thrill of pleasure and responsibility rocked his back, because for a while Kak Anta chose to marry me.
Whatever the reason behind Kak Anta's will to marry me, a girl whose life is ruined by getting pregnant out of wedlock. A girl who felt a mess, but she volunteered to guide and reorganize her life. I still want to be with him, for a longer time.
It seems like a silly way to save himself from something difficult. Either because of his lover who disappointed him, or maybe something else worse?
The prejudices disappeared when I got to the room, and I remembered the broken window. The condition is still the same as before, a mess.
"Sister... "
"Sister.... "
Hearing my screams, the figure of Kak Anta swiftly appeared. His breath gasping for a brisk walk, knowing I had never cried so much to call him.
As soon as he walked into the room and looked at my index finger, he snorted. Then take the boards and tools in the side yard. I helped her by giving her the tools she needed.
His eyes seemed to sparkle when he looked at our window that had been patched with a board. "Not bad either, tomorrow morning just call a handyman to justify it."
I answered with a smile.
"Cania... " He said while tidying the hardware back in the container.
"Yes, brother?"
"How do you feel about him?"
"He who? what does brother Petra mean?"
"Of course, who else?!"
I changed my gaze, staring high up at the dark night sky, full of stars. "When I talk about love, I no longer have that feeling for her. But, if you hate. It's like a lifetime of feeling like it's not going to go away or change."
While holding my breath, I turned back to face sister Anta and smiled faintly in front of her.
"Which woman can forgive, after being thrown away by the man who impregnated her? we do it because we like to like it. But, I can't lie brother, I'm hurt." I replied trying to smile then continued.
"He was so hearty to take me and leave me alone in this city, for he was reluctant to take responsibility after asking me to drop my womb. He's until my heart makes me disappear in a city of people. And it happened not once, but twice. That is why, when asked about feelings. I hate it to the roots."
"Roots, I mean?" ask Anta to me.
"I hate him as a whole, I hate Petra as well with her family. Remembering all his actions and words to me. I could have sworn that I was the first to be happy to see them all destroyed. That sounds bad, brother?"
Sister Anta was silent for a while, without giving any response to my answer.His sharp and shahdu eyes disappeared instantly. It was just that her shadow felt so close to the heart even after she acted like an evade. Whatever he now had in mind after I answered so, I had at least told him my feelings honestly. Honesty is absolute and number one.
"No, not evil. It should have been so ..." Replied Anta, after standing up. Then he left me just like that, before I even gave a proper response. He walks like a shadow.
