[Sara]
“She's my wife. What right do you have to talk about my wife? I will not tolerate anyone daring to insult my wife!”
Mas Agam's?
Agam turns out to come with Raka who is currently pushing her wheelchair.
Sara immediately came to him and did her duty to kiss the back of her husband's hand.
“Sorry, I was late,” Agam said as soon as Sara was done.
“Nothing, Mas. We just go home, yes,” Sara said in her gesture.
Right, just go home. Than lingering here.
“Use this,” Agam said again while giving something to Sara.
He saw a soft black sweater that he almost forgot because he had not seen it for a long time, since the incident he threw it at Agam.
“T-thank you, Mas,” replied Sara who was still surprised to see the sweater again. He did not expect Agam to keep it all this time.
“Gam, you want to go home now? First acquaintance with friends Mama, yes.” Widia who had just been silent when her friends cornered Sara, now she came to Agam who had just arrived.
“No need. I do not need to know the person who has insulted Sara,” replied Agam Ketus. “Sara just recovered sick. Why did Mama take him without my knowledge?”
Widia almost answered him, but a voice cut off their attention.
“It turns out to be true that your stepson is sick. How can a blind man lead the company?”
Like a choir, the others compactly laughed in support of his friend's statement.
Sara furious. He doesn't accept. I thought they were educated people, but they weren't.
Sara was just about to step up, but her hand that was still holding Agam's hand had already turned around. Agam, who was now holding his hand, held Sara to leave.
Sara is now looking for Widia who looks awkwardly smiling because of her friends' jokes that can not be said as a joke.
His forehead wrinkled to see Widia. It's so inexhaustible to think he.
Should you feel bad about someone insulting your child? Oh yeah forget, he also caused Mas Agam like this.
“Aduh, sorry, Jeng. We're just talking facts here. Our children and husbands are already overwhelmed with one company. Even though they are normal. This is what ..” His speech was cut off because it was showing his giggles even though it was hidden behind his hand fan. “... sorry. What's wrong, huh?”
No. gabe. Can't do.
“Where is not overwhelmed? They still have to take care of your mouths that look more like zoo dwellers,” hardik Sara with her floor.
“Pfft ..”
Sara looked behind Agam. There was Raka who was holding back her laughter. As soon as he saw Sara who was still glaring with her anger, Raka immediately stopped her laughter.
“Sorry, Lady Sara.”
Agam clasped Sara's hand even tighter but did not hurt her. Just grabbing and pulling slowly. That is, he just wants to say, “Already, Sara.”
Sara understood what Agam meant. She instantly grabbed her husband's palm, and signaled, “They've gone too far, Mas.”
Hearing Sara's words, it was clear that most of them did not accept. Some of them had already stood up and were about to approach Sara. Might as well want to slap me like that soap opera.
But then, a voice stopped them all.
“Adduh ... You're all so noisy, huh. Like your family is normal.”
A beautiful woman with her elegant makeup. The tall slender woman with her legs walked in front of all of them with her handbag.
Linda CI?
Yep, Ci Linda, wife of father eits ow en complex house.
“Jeng Monika!,” point Linda with her hand fan. “What's up? How many wives do you have now? From Sabang to Merauke, everything is there. Complete yes, Jeng. Reunion every year crowded must be it.”
The so-called name is directly coed. He sat back down, though his eyes still glanced back at Linda.
“Jeng Hanum!,” point Linda at the other woman again. The woman was immediately shocked when her name was called.
“Girl's son how are you? I saw the video, you know. Ouch ... Kids today are brave, yes. That's the same way his girlfriend uses all recorded shows. My husband and I are still shy. Lah this is recorded.”
Maybe not many know. A small part of the invited guests started gossiping and looked at the woman called Hanum.
Sara herself tightly closed her lips which almost lost her laughter. He even bowed because of it. A little complacency, because the woman who was proud of ‘bibit bebet weights’nya.
“Jeng Clarisa!”
Before continuing her sentence, Linda had already gotten a deadly stare from the woman she had just called her name. As if you were saying, “Do not mess with you!”
But Linda doesn't seem to care, “. How, Jeng? Natural skinny? Can't eat a lot of fat? No drugs, Jeng? Hope you get well soon bulimia(*)nya.”
“Jeng ..”
Everyone's gaze immediately turned sharply pierced towards Linda who was immediately responded by laughing.
“That's really a look at it,” taunted Linda with her raunchy style. The fan in his hand he opened to hide his laughter.
“Don't talk too much about lack of people. You yourself are also not lacking. Want me to call it one by one here? Maybe tomorrow we just go home,” he continued again which ended with a loud laugh.
“Bah lah.” Linda turned around with her handbag. “Still his lunch, Jeng Widia. Don't invite me again sometime. I don't like gatherings like this.”
Linda kept walking leaving those who were still whispering talking about her. He doesn't care about all the talk about himself. His elegant style looked so classy when he went away from the crowd of people.
“Ci Linda ...,” call Sara down as soon as Linda starts approaching her.
Sara hid her laughter in a smile as she looked at Linda who kept walking away past herself and Agam.
“Wear your sweater, Sara. We go home,” Agam's word that is difficult for Sara to refute. Sure oes.
With pleasure, Sara immediately moved to crucify her expressionless father-in-law – might also be hiding her irritated feelings –, then followed her husband who had been helped by Raka pushing his wheelchair.
......................
“Just don't take Sara without my permission,” snapped Agam in his phone.
As soon as the car they were riding in left, Widia had already called Agam. And Agam immediately scolded him.
Sara was surprised to hear it. He had never heard Agam scold Widia like that.
“Kok so Mama who scolded? Who said all Mama's friends, not Mama,” because Widia did not want to be blamed.
“I don't care about them or Mama. Don't blame me for acting rude which will make Mama more embarrassed.” The last sentence and the call were terminated.
Sara could only stay still. His eyes were directed straight ahead. Her head was still looking for a topic of conversation that could ease her husband's anger.
“Mama tell you what? Have you eaten? Doctor says you can't be late for a meal, right?”
At least with Sara, her tone still sounded soft, but still felt her anger even though it was not as big as when talking to Widia.
“S-already, Mas ...,” the answer lies a little. He was only after a little bit of what he had cooked earlier. Than getting angry.
He glimpsed a little Agam who was beside him. Then suddenly I remembered something.
“Lho? The hearing aid can already be, huh?”
After remembering again, Agam can answer other people's questions without using gestures. Sara alone is too angry to not realize it, even continue to signal with Agam.
“That's a new tool, Mistress. I was the one who drove home. Then met Mr. Pardi, so I reported to Mr. Agam.” Raka who was sitting in front suddenly looked back.
Oh ...
Sara now dared to look at Agam. No more glancing like that. Think back to how Agam came to take her home. Though he had just gone through a bad time because of his stepmother. It might also be his first time going home after his return.
It must be hard to go back there. But still he did.
“Thank you for coming,” Sara said gently.
And Raka suddenly appeared from behind her seat. “Tadi Mr. Agam ..”
“Shut! Don't be noisy!,” snapped Agam.
Raka's lips were immediately tightly closed. Slowly twisting his body forward.
“Other times do not go to the main house if not with me. Whatever Mama says,” continued Agam gave Sara wejangan.
I want that too, Mas. But it was a different story, as soon as his mind spoke.
But of course he can't say it. Right now I am angry.
“You understand, right, Sara?”
“Iya, Mas.”
Only silence could he do. All along that journey.
But when they arrive, Sara has another idea that doesn't hurt to try.
Sara whispered in front of Agam, “Mas, in front of the house there is a park near the lake. Want to sit there for a while before you get in? The air is good bu...”
“Mau.”
Without waiting for Sara to finish her sentence, Agam immediately answered her. Sara was almost surprised by it. Who would have thought that it would be so soon would get its reply.
Smiling happily, Sara pushes Agam into the front garden of the house.
The park is a public park. Located on the edge of the lake with a barrier trellis, and given paving along the park that surrounds the lake. Shady trees and flowers also add to the beauty of the park. It still feels refreshing even though the air in the afternoon is quite hot.
Sara positioned her wheelchair facing towards the lake. Then, he himself sat down on the bench beside him. Lastly, Sara smiled looking at Agam. Somehow the story goes, but Sara was sure Agam enjoyed it.
“Cool ya taste, Mas?,” ask Sara.
Agam. “Hmm ..”
Then, Agam smiled. Yeah, smile.
Thankfully ...
All they did next was shut up. No one started talking that long. Each of them simply enjoyed the tranquility of the park.
“What are your plans after 2 years?”
Ordinary questions should be. But it feels why make tightness in the chest. Was Mas Agam waiting for that 2 years to end?
