Jovian's heart trembled, as the sound of Kiana's laughter was heard so clearly when she had just shown her feet in Denis' house. The house is not too big, but the warmth is so felt, especially when Jovian saw Sita who was cool to arrange every dish that has been made on the dining table.
Sita was silent as she looked at Jovian, then she turned her gaze towards the large sofa of the living room, where Kiana and Dendi were playing monopoly.
"Well!!" Dendi shouted with a visible smile. "Why is Aunt's house all here? The cost is expensive! I'm almost broke, my money's running out, look!?" He said, then he lifted the toy money into the air.
Making Kiana's laughter sound louder.
"He even laughed when I wasn't with him!" Inner Jovian screamed, with a deep sense of disappointment.
"It has to be this way. To make Aunty the richest man in the world of monopoly!" Kiana Sahut.
His smile began to shine. His existence in the middle of the Denis family, makes Kiana seem to forget what she is going through. Even today the woman was no longer crying like a few days before.
His longing felt even more excruciating. However, the fear of Kiana's rejection, Jovian explained, making the man just silently look at his wife without Kiana noticing.
"Let's get another princess!" Kiana Pinta.
Dendi nodded, about to return with two dice lying in the middle of a paper with various images, but the arrival of Sita made Dendi stop while looking up.
"Dendi, you have to take a shower. It's almost four o'clock. Mr. ustadz is coming soon!" Sita said to her son.
"Today there's no schedule, Ma!"
Sita was silent for a while, until then she smiled sweetly and grabbed her son's hand.
"Mama forgot, but you have to keep taking an afternoon bath, right?"
"We'll play it later, Auntie." Pamit Dendi's.
"All right."
Sita led Dendi towards another room. However, his gaze was fixed on the figure who continued to stand, silent with the father who was silent behind him.
"Of Jovian!"
Dendi's words instantly made Kiana set her sights on him. She stared at the figure of the man standing with Denis, with a facial expression that Kiana somehow had to call.
"Hurry to take a shower, Mama must accompany Aunt Kiana!" Sita patted Dendi's shoulder.
The boy nodded, then went into his room. While Sita again approached Kiana, trying to make the awkwardness that felt a little reduced.
"Come in and sit down, what do you stand for!"
Denis walks ahead, carrying a map where there are some documents belonging to Kiana, which Denis will take care of so that Kiana can participate in performing umrah worship with his wife.
Jovian said without much talking. In fact, longing makes Jovian unable to react anything, other than paying attention to Kiana. Moreover, he was afraid that Kiana would ask him to leave if he did something excessive.
"Om brought it all. You just have to wait!" He said Lali showed me what he was carrying.
"Emmmm... Do you want to take a shower? I'll get the warm water ready, okay?"
Sita looked at her husband, as if she was signaling to let the husband and wife who were both keeping that distance have time to talk from heart to heart.
Denis nodded.
"Later Om back. All of you want to tell me what you have to bring later?"
Kiana could no longer speak. He just nodded with an awkward feeling, which he suddenly felt. It was obvious that he had not felt it before.
The two left Kiana and Jovian just like that.
"Auntie? Don't be disturbed yet, huh? Let them talk, let me bring the water." Sita told one of her home assistants.
"Yes, Mom."
"I told you! I'll go home if I want to." Kiana's face look flat, with a tone of speech that sounds very thin.
Jovian shook his head.
"I didn't come to force you home. I just wanted to see how you were doing."
Kiana sighed.
"Sit down! It's not polite to talk while standing."
Jovian said he edged closer, then sat right on the empty sofa next to him.
"I'm doing fine. Then what's after that? After you know how I am? You happy? Because I'm okay here?" Ask Kiana.
His eyes began to turn red, with tears so bright. Even Jovian could clearly see the wife was desperately holding back the disappointment that might come back.
However, her voice could still Kiana clearly.
Both silent.
"Babies?"
"Stop!" Kiana shook her head. "Stop calling me that. Stop acting like you're feeling so miserable, stop making me feel so special, stop Jovian!" Reply Kiana.
His voice sounded vibrating.
"Do you still think what I feel is a lie?"
"Maybe. You're just feeling guilty, and now you're trying to make up for it. Take it easy, I've forgiven you, but I can't forget about the incident, .. So go on living without bothering me again!"
Kiana got up from her seat. He almost left if only Jovian did not grab Kiana's wrist to stop.
"Babies? I beg you this time, we have to talk!"
"What else?"
"Sit down again, at least give me a new time you can decide!"
"Hhhhhhhhhhh!!" Kiana sighed.
Then, in the next second Jovian pulled Kiana's hand, making the woman now sit on the same sofa as herself.
They kept quiet and looked at each other.
"You want to go?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Talking to God for what I've done?" Ask Jovian again.
Kiana did not answer.
"Kiana? You want to go?"
"Yes, I told you, didn't I? I want to pull over, I don't want to think about anyone but myself!" Firm Kiana.
The sadness was clearly visible from Jovian's face. Kiana immediately looked at him.
"Then what about the reception that will be held. Tomorrow Mami and Papi will be home, they are still waiting for you to do the fitting together. But, one problem makes it all messy, .. will you be kind, dear? I'm sorry, and let's make what we've been waiting for a long time." Jovian said with teary eyes.
Kiana felt her chest tight, and was a little sore. What Jovian said seemed to draw him to memory a few weeks ago. Where he is very happy, living with the man he loves very much, then will realize what he has dreamed of for a long time. And everything disappeared, when he saw Jovian who still looks so caring to his ex-wife, as if a slap, if married to an unfinished man with his past is indeed very painful.
"I know you heard my words back then. Cancel everything, I don't want to live with someone who still keeps good memories with someone he loved in the past. And one more thing, our marriage will not be able to run smoothly, because in addition to disappointment, your doubts about me have proven that we really do not fit. Go, come to your love that you want, and that you wait for two years."
Kiana's face turned red, with a trembling voice. And finally she cried, but quickly Kiana wiped away her tear marks.
"Aren't you going to give me a chance?"
Kiana silent.
"You really want to get out of my life?"
Kiana was silent.
"All right! I'll wait until you feel that you're okay. But don't expect me to let you go, .. not again! I won't be able to."
Kiana standing.
"You are so greedy. Want to tie me up but won't let go of that woman! What do you think I am? I do love you. But I'll let go of anyone who has disappointed me, .. Then go, and wait casually for my divorce!"
After expressing her heart Kiana left, running towards one of the doors she occupied as her bedroom had already been two this evening.
"Babies?"
Jovian is going after. But late, Kiana had already slammed the door tight, making her voice echo throughout the room. He stopped, closed his eyes, then swept his rough face with an increasingly torn feeling especially when he heard the words divorce.
"Why is your anger so hard to quell?" Jovian muttered, staring at the door of the room that was closed tightly.
