Space scratched his head, rubbing his chin and nape.
"Why, Sa? Sick or hungry? I told you to eat first just come home." Emran sat next to him with his hands holding the steering wheel, mocking Angkasa who forced to rush him home.
"My wife why, Man?" The eyes of Space glared out the window.
"Well, why your wife? All right, I saw that."
"There's something strange, man, he's not what he used to be. In the last few days he looked angry and moody. What am I wrong?" Space folded his hands together on his chest.
"Pregnant maybe?"
"Not yet for two weeks!"
"Maybe it's more du--" Throwing a tissue box on Emran's chest stopped his slurping speech.
"Seriously this, Man. I feel Salma imitating ... Debbie." Debbie."
"Well, you can't be like that. The woman likes to be compared the least. They're two different women, Asa, don't you look at Salma like Debby."
"Did you hear that? It's not me likening them, but Salma trying to be equal to Debby" Angkasa exasperated.
"Maybe it's just your feelings, you miss Debby and end up seeing Debby on your current wife."
"Halaah! It's just talking to you." As soon as the car pulled over in front of the door of the Space house, the man immediately got out of Emran's car.
"Minimum sayin thank you cake, has been delivered to the house." Emran grumbled indistinctly of course after his boss closed the door of his car.
Space entered the house after her senior domestic assistant opened the door for her. His head looked up, seeing the two bedroom doors lined up were already tightly closed in the state of the lights of the room were extinguished.
"Mother and children have arrived since, sir," reported Bik Yut as if he knew what his master wanted to ask.
"Thank you, Bik." Angkasa smiled then continued his steps up the stairs leading to the second floor.
"Mr ...." Bik Yut stopped Space's steps with a slight hesitation.
"What's up, Bik?" Angkasa turned around and saw his household assistant who had been with him for decades, looking down and scared.
"Sorry." Bik Yut's eyes glanced towards the brown door room.
Space follows Bik Yut's line of sight. The brown door in the corner of the room seemed to reveal a slight opening. Space walked with wide steps towards that door and opened it. His hand pressed the light switch and his eyes checked for any oddities in the room.
"What's up, Bik?" The spaceman turned his head and asked because he had not found anything to fear in the room.
"Mother ...." Bik Yut bowed deeper.
"Mother why?"
"The mother went inside again, then came out crying" said Bik Yut very slowly.
"Then? Wait a minute, again? I mean before this, you've been inside and seen the contents?" The eyes of space grow. Bik Yut nodded and lowered his head deeper.
"Why isn't it locked, Bik? Did you ask to be opened?"
Inevitably the story of Cakra disappearing and being found locked inside the room, is told by Bik Yut with fear and guilt.
"Since then I haven't locked the door again, sir."
"Why doesn't Bik Yut tell me everything the same?"
"Sorry, sir I'm too scared."
"Alright, Bik. Thank you, rest." Space shut itself up to the second floor. He was still not ready to face his wife over the facts that had just been revealed. The space was sitting in the kitchen trying to reflect on the wrong decision that had been taken.
That day when he decided to propose and immediately marry Salma in the city of his wife's birth, he immediately called Bik Yut to move all of Debby's belongings to another room.
Debby's property has long been taken by her in-laws to serve as a memento. But because the special room in her in-laws' house had not been fully completed, her in-laws asked her to keep her at home for a while.
Not because he wanted to save and treat the special goods of his deceased wife, and not also want to throw and forget the woman who had been in his life. Space just wants to give a special place for women who will continue to live with him, without having to hurt Salma by seeing objects belonging to other women in the room.
Space does not intend to hide the reality if there are still Debby's goods stored in his house. It is also impossible to throw away the property of the late. His biggest mistake, he did not talk about his plan to Salma. Yes, that's where the mistake was that it made the child almost die because it was locked in a closed room.
Angkasa up a glass of cold water as much as possible and said a prayer so as not to take the wrong step to face his wife. Marriage that has not been as long as this corn, he admitted very minimal communication.
With a very slow step, Space headed for their room. From the door slit, he saw the room lights had gone out.
Salma was shocked when the door opened and a beam from outside illuminated her chaotic-looking face. She did not expect her husband to come home so soon. Her body was still wrapped in a party dress with makeup smudged with her tears.
"Darling," call Angkasa trenyuh.
"Don't turn on the lights." Salma covered her face. He was embarrassed to look messy in front of Space which in his eyes was always perfect. Space ignored his wife's request, he kept the room lights on.
"Why was it lit?" salma was half grumbling. He turned his body and walked quickly to the bathroom, but Angkasa's hand first reached it.
"There's no shame. You look beautiful in my eyes." Angkasa cupped his cheek and looked into Salma's eyes even though his wife was trying to turn her face away.
"I'm sorry. I'm not a good husband, maybe I'm not ready to be a husband to make you like this."
Salma looked at the confused Space. At once her mind wondered what her husband's sentence meant. Does Angkasa regret having married her and will divorce her? Does Angkasa realize he doesn't deserve to replace Debby?
"Why? what's on your mind now?" Angkasa stared at the restless Salma's eyeballs running to and fro. Unable to say anything, Salma ended up crying from being too frightened by her own thoughts.
"Have you seen the room below? I'm sorry, honey. I really didn't mean anything."
Angkasa tells from the beginning, why there are still Debby's goods stored neatly in his house. Salma just kept quiet listening to her husband's explanation.
"If you don't believe it, then we will go to Debby's parents' house and see the development of space built to store the property of the deceased."
"Never ask and compare yourself to Debby. I won't answer, because there's no need. You and her, different women. You and I have a different place in my heart. I love you, Salma not for any reason. I just love you so much."
