I Love U! Husband Carried
CHAPTER 41 - I Just Need You to Be Honest

I was overwhelmed by sentimental feelings that would kill me if I looked at Sister Anta now. Each of our hearts is filled with small, sharp-toothed animals, ready to pounce if we take action.

We looked at each other, wondering if anything had changed for each of us.

"I haven't forgiven you yet, so don't see me first." I said after a moment of silence.

"Still a long time? but I won't give up." she replied, smiling at both ends of her lips.

I just kept quiet, until then he reached into his pants pocket looking for something, "I want to give you this" he said, holding out the phone in his hand.

"Mobile?" I said.

"You can check first, let's believe."

"No, I can't remove it, no need."

He lowered his head while sighing, deep breathing. Then he lifted his face and looked back at me.

Standing in front of the door, meeting in the open space, where he was still standing before me and I stood before the door, so the cold still pierced sharply.

"When are we, like this? How do you make you sure?!" His word.

His words bewitched me, reminding me again of the shadow of him who is always hiding, like a mirage that I find difficult to reach. I caught a solemn and sad look at his eyes resembling the dim color of the mangosteen fruit. The light glows on the small petals under the slightly thick eyebrows. His aura reflected from the way he stared, because he was not good enough to hide the feelings behind his rigid carrier.

"Honest!" Excruciate.

"Huh? Honest?"

"You can be honest with me, brother. Is there something you're hiding from me and I don't know?!"

"What, huh?" he nodded while frowning. Staring at me half-sawed, as if searching for the truth about him in me. Rarely ask like this? is there anything you know about me? something I'm hiding? Maybe that was in his mind.

"If you can be honest and tell all your own secrets, whatever the reason, I'll be airy."

I looked back at him, though not as cold as before. Wishing he could be honest and tell everything without any more lies hidden between us. So my confidence will increase by a thousand percent.

"But---" he said, "I'm not hiding anything from you."

He smiled wryly and looked down again, drowning his eyes exactly like the sun at the end of the twilight, he sank and became a dark and jet sky like charcoal. Only hope and dreams hang.

"Even if there is, I think it's better to keep it to yourself and drown with time and dust. We live this way, as it is and accept each other. Isn't everything just normal?" he continued, disappointing me half to death.

"Go home, Sister Anta!" I cried with a slightly raised tone. Disappointments make me forget and stare; I am a sojourner who dares to drive a master out of his house.

"Can't talk for a minute?"

"I'd like to have a chat if the chat is important. As important as our relationship is in your eyes."

It was a cold night, no stars. Only sparrows line the electrical wiring. Sister Anta swallowed her smile, presumably she swallowed the same bitter pill, the same disappointed one, and the same deluge, just as I felt.

But all of that he was damned. Same way he hid the truth about him and Petra. But, I'll try to understand. Because I also do not know what to take steps if this will be discussed openly. Can be fine, or even end up with pain.

"I'm sorry if anything goes wrong, and makes you uncomfortable." Her speech.

"Sir Anta, all mistakes can still be forgiven. Even about you and Ms. Isma, I can still give you a chance, as long as you are honest."

I told you, but he just froze like a newly sculpted statue. There was nothing special about the way he looked, it seemed that he would still choose silence. Keep hiding something that he kept so good, until I only learned this truth from the suspicions that have been seen so far.

Brother Anta came over and hugged me.

"Thank you Kania, I'm so glad I heard that. All right, I'm going home. Take care of yourself, don't eat late and don't stay up late" he whispered. Then after taking off her embrace, Sister Anta stroked my head hair gently, lovingly. The touch was so warm as the newly rising sun in the morning.

"One more---" he said,

"Don't cry anymore ...."

He left, left the house.

"Don't forget to wear the helmet... " Squeak me, before he actually leaves.

"Of course, safety number one. Even at close range."

Then after the departure of Kak Anta, I put back all the gifts. It all looks tempting and delicious when directly enjoyed, but I don't know, I don't lust.

My phone's vibrating. Immediately I wiped my hands with the napkin and took my phone out of my pocket. Stupidly I hope it was a notification from Kak Anta, when in fact it was a phone call from his best friend, Rambo.

"Hello, Kania."

"Yes, Brother. I'm right here."

"I actually found a job, but I'm sorry I'm afraid to demean Anta Reza. Because of this work, how is the ya---"

"I understand, sister, I have no problem being a cleaner, or working as a restaurant waiter. I can do it all, 'cause I need my own income."

"Because of that, I'm actually not good at giving this job especially because of Anta Reza."

"No problem, don't feel bad. I'm so grateful for sister's help, because I really need it."

"Okay, I'll tell you. Now?"

"Tomorrow, I will take you to your workplace. If your reason makes sense."

"Thank you, Brother."

"Geez, I'm sorry I was such a bitch."

"No, I'm not offended at all. I understand how big brother's position is. Anyway, thank you very much, sister!"

"Thank God, I've been thinking about that. All right, I'll turn off the phone. Don't forget a good rest, tomorrow's your first day to work."

"Ready!"

Banning the cover, Rambo turns off his phone call.

So after that, the next morning I almost woke up. Up in the sky, the sun was rising, and I woke up to the light that was blinding my eyes.

Immediately I wipe the blanket and get out of bed, quickly clean up and go get ready.

About two hours later Rambo is already in front of the road with his car black, looks fierce exactly like his macho appearance, like the Italian Mafia is always ready a gun on the body. And ready to hit you when you make trouble.

"Hi, good morning." Sweep it from the car.

"August, brother. Thanks for picking me up."

"Don't think. Before I go to work, I take you to the cafe for a while, yeah. Let's make it more comfortable to tell a story." He said with sunglasses I can say pretty cool, suitable for his thick visual manly.

The car runs slowly, down the streets that are starting to be a bit crowded maybe because the sun is quite high. Luckily I was wearing a jacket, so I survived the cold from Rambo's piercing car AC. Usually, if you ride in a car with Kak Anta, he always understands what is suitable for me and what has become my habit.

As soon as the car stopped, we arrived at a small but contemporary cafe. Soft with light brown and pastel green shades. Rambo then invited me to sit on the chair he had chosen.

"So, how?" he said open the conversation.

I inhaled a deep breath, only then began to take a step forward to tell a story; "Sister Anta and I were having a problem-"

I told a long story, I told all the problems between me and Sister Anta to Rambo in a row and orderly manner. While Rambo listened perfectly, with his chin supported and did not lose eye contact with me.

"Because of all that, I need a job. I need my own income because I can't hope and rely on Kak Anta. Because, with all these facts, I know the secret, and if he knows I know it all. I'm afraid that either Sister Anta or I could end, because there's no reason for us to survive, other than love."

"It's heavy. I don't know if your problems are this difficult, seeing Anta Reza's position quietly, I think you're okay too. Even though she's been married since, she's been daydreaming a lot, but I know her as her best friend and have known her for almost ten years, it looks like she loves you." Rambo rewinds his body and rests on the back of the chair behind him. He breathed heavily. Some of the problems that his best friend was facing.

"I just need her honesty, sister. The rest I'm sure there's still a way to fix it, if it has to be fixed."

"He does not avoid, nor prolong lies, do not be sad. He's still considering all that's good for you" he said, patting my shoulder.

When he was done, and he found a reason he could understand well, Rambo got up from the chair, for the first time he did not finish his favorite black coffee.

"All right, let me take you to work."

I nodded, nodding to agree. About fifteen minutes later, we arrived in front of a familiar building, in my memory.

"Sister? this is?"

"Yes, this is my sister's clinic, your obstetrician too. Yes, his job is only as a cleaning servant. But, I can at least calmly put you here, My brother can check your health, can monitor your fetal development. You also do not need to work too tight, if you are tired of rest. My brother won't be angry. Aren't you?" He answered while glancing at the beautiful doctor Rani, who appeared shortly after we came.

"Basic rancid!" said doctor Rani while elbowing Rambo with anxiety.

"Good morning, doctor Rani." Sapaku stretched out his hand in front of him, and He returned my hand and endured it.

"Morning, Kania. Welcome to join us, and I'm sorry if the job doesn't fit you."

"No doctor, this far exceeded what I expected. Thank you for accepting that I work here."

"Don't be so formal, okay. Just relax, assume we're close friends."

"Thank God, get along with you two. You also do not be too cruel with Kania, I go to work first." said Rambo interjected, then left us.

"Dam!! basic!!" Doctor Rani's cry.

"I'm sorry Kania, that kid is bad!" Further.

I just smiled while nodding slowly.
