4. Raka and Widuri Meeting

"Four years don't meet, Raka. How are you?" ask Widuri while drinking a sip of lemon tea that he ordered.

"of course. Good news, Duri. How's yours?"

"Yes, like what you saw, Raka. I'm still the Widuri you knew before." Widuri smiled sweetly. He scanned Raka's body from top to bottom full of judgment with a thin smile that did not even disappear from his lips. He let out a long sigh and said, "Four years have passed without seeing each other. But in my eyes, you are also still the same as Raka four years ago."

"Of course, I'm still this way, Runi. Nothing has changed. You can see for yourself, right?" said Raka while raising her shoulders.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" sela Widuri while throwing a probing look at her ex-lover suddenly, without heeding Raka's answer just now.

Widuri's sudden question made Raka feel stupefied. He can't answer it. Really, only silence is able to show Raka at this time.

"I-i ..." Raka wanted to continue his words, but somehow his tongue seemed stuck.

Widuri said, " Or maybe you're married?"

"I-I .." Again, Raka could not continue. Really, even though he already had Runi by his side, he felt that Widuri did not need to know this fact.

Widuri smiled. Indeed, from some grapevine out there, he already knows if Raka is even married. Honestly, his heart hurt. Although four years he sought answers to his heart, about which heart he chose to make a berthing, but after four years he chose to return to Raka. Then, how is this? Is he too late?

But seeing how the man could not answer the simple question Widuri was asking, now the girl could judge for herself. How much does this marriage that Raka is living, and how deep is Raka's love for him so as not to admit his own wife?

Is there still a taste in Raka's heart for her?

"I know you're married, Raka. Don't hide it from me" said Widuri, smiling. A little bit painful, considering he came home here expecting Raka's love back. It's just that the news that he heard that Raka is married makes him have to bite a finger.

Widuri's hope about Raka who is still waiting for her return with a myriad of love and waiting, now must be completely gone. Raka's heart already belonged to another woman. Raka's soul was already bound to status with his wife.

Hearing Widuri's confession, Tak elak Raka was very surprised. But again, his tongue was a joke. He's not ready if Widuri finds out about Runi.

"I ..." Raka let out a heavy sigh and then slowly let out. It is hard to acknowledge her current marital status in the presence of the woman she still loves so much. But he also felt unbearable with the day of Runi as if he was hurting slowly.

"What happens until you choose to go home, Duri?" Tanya Raka who chose to divert the conversation materials.

Widuri snorted annoyed. Raka's reaction seemed to avoid him, and he really disliked it. He replied, "Well, my studies are over. I am also tired of wandering into foreign lands. While here my father needs a successor to his business, why don't I just go home?" answer Widuri straightforwardly.

"Not because you broke up with your boyfriend, so you'd rather go back?" tuding Raka blatantly. A spray of dislike expression was clearly visible on Widuri's face, in stark contrast to the initial expression when they had just met earlier.

"Why do you want to know my business, Raka? Aren't you married?" Widuri asked with a thin grin. He could clearly see what expression Raka was displaying at the moment.

"Year I waited for you in uncertainty, Thorn!" Raka groaned softly with a poignant-sounding tone. "I survived the lara I held myself because you left without a word. Even you went to pursue your new lover's love, Gandhi said that! But what's the outcome? You're finally back here! In the end, you still came to me again, right?! But baby, Duri! It's too late!"

Seeing Widuri who was still silent in silence, Raka continued speaking again. " ... Then now you easily ask me, what is my business? Don't you feel so selfish, Duri?"

Widuri sat down silently. He looked down deeply and tears dripped from the tail of his eyes. Being hurt by two men he loved, it was as painful as it felt. At first Gandhi, whom he had been having an affair with another woman. And now, the man he had been expecting to wait for him, was not so loyal to him. This man is married! It belongs to another woman!

***

The first meeting of Raka and Widuri after four years did not meet, did not go smoothly at all. They came home upset with each other.

Raka came home tired and tired. After getting tired of working this afternoon, he expected a sweet meeting with Widuri, the woman of his past who truthfully still confiscated most of the tenpat in the recesses of his heart. But it was a great fight they got.

"Just come home, Mom?" runi's soft voice greeted him as the living room door opened. Her sweet smile greeted Raka, but unfortunately, Raka's mind was still filled with Widuri's shadows.

Hearing Runi's question, Raka's gaze was diverted to the wall clock installed in the corner of the room. Time has shown ten o'clock at night apparently.

Raka said dishonestly, "Yes, overtime, Deck."

"Oh, have you eaten yet?" Tanya Runi while receiving the sling bag that Raka used to carry while working. She carried it with her hands, and she led her husband to the sofa.

"Not yet, not my appetite anymore, Dek." Raka answered briefly. He sat his body on the sofa hard.

"Loh, why? Tired of eating, so you don't eat?" Runi spelled out Raka by sitting next to her.

"Hmmm ..." Only a mutter could Raka give at this time to silence Runi's question.

Runi smiled wryly. She wondered why this time her husband's expression looked so flat. One year married, he was already very familiar with the habits of Raka. After all, Raka will still be seen sumringah when Runi's smile welcomes her homecoming. And usually, if it has been flirted and seduced gently, her husband will be pleasant again as usual. Now, Raka looks so weird!

Undeterred at Raka's flat expression, Runi sank spoiled at her husband. He said, "I've cooked mangut catfish, your favorite food, Mas. Eaten, huh?"

"Oh, okay," said Raka expressionlessly. He brushed aside the hard face of Runi that was stuck on his shoulder, as if feeling so uncomfortable. "Awas, Deck. I'm sultry!"

Of course, Runi's expression of shock was not dumbstruck to see Raka's rude attitude towards her.

Seeing the shocked look on his wife's face, Raka immediately said to shake off her guilt. "I took a shower and kept eating, Dek."

Raka got up with a shunt. Runi looked at her husband painfully, feeling the strange attitude Raka had towards him lately.

"What's wrong with you, Mom? Why are you being this cold to me?"
