Geck... Geck... Geck...
Jovan knocked on the door before stepping into the room.
He saw Tita hugging his wife.
"Can I come in?" a little hesitant, but he should try to take his wife's heart.
Tita nodded after breaking her embrace with Vani.
Vani rubbed his cheek, removing the remaining tear marks.
"I'm out, Van. Let me find the kids first. Afraid that your in-laws are overwhelmed by looking after three children" Tita said as she stroked Vani's arm.
Again, Vani could only nod her head.
Without greeting Jovan, Tita just came out of Vani's room.
Jovan could only sigh, indeed he was wrong this time.
Slowly he sat down beside his wife. I hope there's an apology he can get.
"Sorry, sorry I'm bun... I didn't know there would be such an event. I can't believe that my father and mother are gone" Jovan cried this time, drawing closer to his wife to try to hug her.
But again, Vani dodged.
Vani sat on the bed, his legs dangling down. With a panda patterned sandal. Both hands are still clutching his stomach that has been bloated despite still being six months old.
Her tears came back, in fact she had tried to weld her parents. But his tears this time more on the deep disappointment in Jovan who could not be contacted when Vani was in a state of turmoil.
There was always Yudha by his side when he needed help. Always Yudha who was willing to help him without reward, always Yudha who held him when Jovan was somewhere.
"Where are you? Where was it that when I was upset, I was confused, I needed a backrest to strengthen me?"
with tears continuing to melt, Vani expressed his heart.
"I've been trying to tell you since yesterday, I need you, Jovan. I need someone who can make me".
"Sapek I try hard in front of the children, tired I answer their questions where the brother and uti go, tired I was asked the same people why not you who take care of the search for the bodies of the father and mother, and I'm tired, why Yudha, where are you?"
indeed, since yesterday people have always questioned who the man who is always beside Vani, why not Jovan.
Jovan was crying, the couple was not okay.
Jovan knelt before Vani, drowning his head on the knee of the wife who was covering her face with both hands.
Vani's shoulders go up and down while her hands cover her mouth so as not to make a loud noise while crying.
"I'm sorry, bun. I know I was wrong, I beg you to forgive me" Jovan said. When the lips of his wife had mentioned his name while being at odds, it was certain that he had been very disappointed in her.
"I don't know if I can forgive you, give me some time. I want you out, I want to be alone" Vani said, raising her husband's head above her knees.
"Please, I'm tired. I want to rest" said Vani began to lay his body on the bed.
Since yesterday she has been lacking rest, Vani has not been able to sleep well since hearing the news of her parents' accident.
Especially when the two bodies of the people he loved so much had reached his home, Vani continued to cry.
Jovan understood, he had to give up this time. He must not be selfish to force Vani to forgive him who is wrong.
"All right, I'm out first. You rest first. I'll bring you some food" Jovan said as he stroked the tip of his wife's head, and kissed her forehead deeply before she actually walked out of her room.
When he came out of the room, Jovan saw that Yudha was back in his living room. Along with the mourners, he seems to have been able to put himself.
"Mas Jovan, come here. Must have been so busy that I just got home today?" ask RT sir who joined the funeral earlier, and now with the residents who have helped the funeral process, they are enjoying a simple dish that has been served by mothers.
Jovan approached, sitting next to Yudha.
"Good gentlemen, excuse me. There is still work waiting to be done. Because I have been here since yesterday. Not even had time to bathe and change clothes" Yudha said goodbye to everyone, a very sad greeting for Jovan.
"Oh, yes .. Yes, Mr. Yudha, you are a busy man. Where can leave the job for too long" said RT sir who is not aware of the competition between two men who both put their hearts on one woman, named Vani.
Yudha shook hands with the people there, after which she wanted to ask Jovan a little.
"Where's Vani?" ask Yudha.
"He was resting, he said he was a little tired" replied Jovan who looked at Yudha sharply.
"Of course she was tired, her husband was just being nice to other women. Not knowing that his pregnant wife was grieving" Yudha said it was half whispered in Jovan's ear.
Jovan must have been surprised by what Yudha said, how did she know she had another woman?
Jovan's lips clenched, unable to refute the words of Yudha which were all true.
Yudha smiled cynically. "All right, I say to Jovan. Greetings to Vani if he wakes up later" said Yudha standing up, as soon as he got out of his place and left the funeral home.
From the Coastal town, Gina is ready to go to Vani's house. During the day when he was done with his duties as a teacher, he would go straight to Jovan's house.
However, he had to come to offer his condolences for the calamity he had done, so that many lives were lost just to fulfill his ambition.
By driving her car, Gina set out alone to the Cold city.
"You're ready, baby, I miss you. If you're still grieving, then I'll come to comfort you".
Gina's lips lifted, sheds a sweet smile to enjoy the happiness because it can make Vani sad.
The circumstances that forced her to become a bad woman.
Three hours passed, Gina was only able to reach the courtyard of Vani's house which was still crowded with mourners.
Gina parked her car in front of Vani's neighbor's house. Because in the yard of Vani's own house is not enough to accommodate more vehicles.
It's a sunny afternoon.
With gontai steps, Gina walked closer to Vani's house. A black dress suit, with a tightly wrapped pasmina, Gina walked towards her destination.
"Assalamualaikum" Gina said to everyone in the living room. Not yet seen Jovan welcome his arrival.
"Waalaikumsalam" said the people in unison.
All of the lyrics were intertwined, no one knew this guest who had just come, while the host had just stepped in to get drinks at the guests.
Gina walked in casually, after taking off the high heels she was wearing. The beautiful black-hooded woman walked slightly into the room, then sat down near the middle room.
"Please drink the mothers, sir" said Jovan, who carries a box of mineral water in a small glass.
He had not realized the arrival of his young wife.
"Thank you, Jovan, I'll say goodbye. Please say my regards to Bu Vani" said a mourner who had come to defend his condolences.
"Yes sir, thank you for coming, sorry because my wife can not meet, later I say the same to my wife. He was on a break, since yesterday seeing his own guests" Jovan said after shaking hands and receiving a brief hug from the mourner.
Jovan sat on the boundary between the living room and the living room, for a moment he scanned the room to look at the guests.
Surprise was seen from his face when he got an intense view of Gina who was sitting nearby.
"What are you doing here, Gina?" she subconsciously asked a nonsensical question, until some people looked at Gina.
"You don't like me coming here? I just want to say my condolences, I'm so sorry Jovan" said Gina lirih, as if hurt by Jovan's words.
After sighing for a moment, Jovan looked back at his young wife. Moreover, a strange look was still on him.
"I'm sorry, thanks for stopping by. But sorry once again, my wife is on break. Pity him since yesterday to take care of everything by myself because my phone can not be contacted" said Jovan as if he was too disappointed with Gina's actions.
Gina only showed a cynical smile, she had expected that Jovan would behave like that.
"Yes, I understand. Just let her rest, you're here anyway" Gina said as casually as possible.
"Lho, there's Gina. It's been a long time?" ask Jovan's mother who happened to come to bring snacks for the guests who were also present.
"Just now, ma'am. Mom, how are you?" gina asked as she greeted her mother-in-law.
"Well, how are you?" jovan's mother returned to pleasantries.
"Well, mom. Now there is someone who takes care of Gina" said Gina while glancing at Jovan's reaction which was like ice cubes.
Jovan was worried that Gina could not control her speech.
"Oh yes ma'am, I'm so sorry. May the deceased and the deceased be forgiven all their sins" this time Gina said sincerely.
"Aamiinu. Let's drink it" said Jovan's mother again offered her a drink.
"Mom, where are the kids?" a voice came from behind the mother's body.
Turns out it was Vani who had woken up from her sleep. With her eyes still very puffy, she searched for the whereabouts of her two children.
"Wake up, son. You take it easy, they were taken with Tita since last afternoon. Tita says sorry if you are tired of taking care of them while there are still many guests" said Jovan's mother who helped Vani who sat down to meet the guests.
The look in his eyes met with Gina, an uncomfortable feeling started to appear.
I don't know, just a hunch or just a sensitive hormone from a pregnant woman. Vani obviously dislikes seeing a grin on Gina's lips when their sight meets.
Back Jovan was feeling hot cold, hopefully nothing happened.
