There is no lasting sorrow, no wound without an antidote. Believe the storm will pass. Strengthen yourself and smile with me...
After negotiating with her mother, Ega and Indhi decided to move house for a while until the pandemic ended. Not wanting to be lonely, Tika forced her to stay with him and her housekeeper agreed because she was also living alone after her husband left and her children got married.
After saying goodbye to the mother, the couple decided to stop by a supermatket to shop for their home needs. The virus that began to spread throughout Indonesia, requires the Government to take a policy in the form of the implementation of distance guard and the mandatory use of masks.
Supermarket looks not so crowded, there are only a few visitors and one of them is a couple Ega and Indhi. Both go down the shelf by the shelf that provides all the needs of the household. Ega walked while pushing the trolley while Indhi was busy sorting and choosing the items he would buy.
"Sister, all the needs of my kitchen leave it to you," said Indhi while pointing to a neat row of vegetables and meat.
"Okay," said Ega with a smile, not forgetting his ignorant hand ruffled the wife's hair.
"Hat habit," grumbled Indhi while tidying his hair.
Ega only chuckled to see the bulging face of his wife, after which he invited the wife to choose vegetables and meat.
"Because my wife loves fried rice so much, I have to buy a lot of chicken breast filets" Ega muttered, her hands nimbly reaching for some neatly packed filet chest.
"I don't want meat either" Indhi pinta like a child was asking her father for a toy.
"Well princess," said Ega and as a result she had to receive a pinch on her stomach.
"You're so naughty, wait for my revenge!" threaten Ega with a difficult look.
"I wait for your revenge, weeee," said Indhi, sticking out his tongue and leaving Ega standing by the meat shelf.
"Inxious," muttered Ega with a stifled smile, the man then chased after his wife who was busy choosing a snack.
Ega only watched as Indhi put snacks after snacks into their shopping cart, the man looked at his wife full of love and gratitude.
"Udah enough?" tanya Ega made sure when Indhi finished with his activities.
"Udah brother. Oh yes before we go home to eat first yes," Indhi asked enthusiastically, nodding the head of the husband made his eyes more sparkling.
After paying for all their groceries, the two left the supermarket. Indhi just watched as Ega put their groceries in the car because the husband forbade to help. After all the groceries got into the car, Ega opened the door for his wife and invited his beloved woman to enter. After his wife was in the car, Ega immediately followed and drove her car to his wife's favorite restaurant.
"No, we eat at home" Indhi pinta after they arrive in front of the restaurant.
"OKAY. You wait here!" Ega stroked his wife's head before he got out of the car.
Indhi gave a smile as Ega's back started to drift away, the woman was feeling very happy now. After confessing her love a week ago, now they are really enjoying their relationship.
"Zee, you must have calmed down there. I've found my happiness here, "inner Indhi.
Almost half an hour later Ega had not returned, tired of waiting in the car, Indhi decided to follow her husband into the restaurant. From a distance Indhi saw her husband talking to someone, because curious Indhi stepped her foot toward the husband.
"Honey, why so long," said Indhi while hooking her hand on her husband's arm. "Darling, why in..." Indhi did not continue her sentence, the girl was aghast until her voice stuck in the throat. His narrowed eyes instantly rounded perfectly when he saw two women from his past.
"Na-Naura," cried Indhi, calling the girl's name makes Indhi remember bad memories in the past, when he was still sitting on the bench of High School.
(Part Naura can be read in the novel Lara Cintaku chapter 72)
Meanwhile, the woman standing next to Naura was still busy staring at Ega with teary eyes, the no longer young woman was about to touch Ega's face but was immediately teed by the man.
Serly, the woman who has married Ega and the woman who had the heart to leave the 8-year-old boy alone. Yes, the woman next to Naura is Serly, the birth mother of Kevin Ega Irvantara.
"Tante" said Indhi after being sure who the woman was looking at her husband.
"How are you?" naura asked him to try to cover up his nervousness after meeting up with his old school friend and stepbrother.
When High School, actually Indhi was friendly with Arum, Dita and Naura. But Naura began to stay away from Indhi because she felt that Indhi always exceeded her. From then on, Naura began to imitate Indhi, her curly hair even deliberately straightened in order to rival Indhi. At its peak, their friendship is shattered when Naura accidentally pushes Indhi on the stairs and causes Indhi to sustain a serious injury to her head. Naura was expelled from school and they never met again until a few minutes ago.
"We're good. What about you guys?" reply Indhi awkwardly.
"We are also good" Naura smiled kindly, but it did not make Indhi feel comfortable.
"Darling your order is ready, let's go home!" Ega managed to calm himself and only realized the presence of the wife, the man then took his wife to leave the place.
"Darling?" asked Naura feeling astonished. The question made Indhi undo her steps.
"Yes, because we are married" Indhi replied to Naura's curiosity.
"Married?" repeating the two women together, their faces looked so shocked.
"Then we'll excuse you" Indhi grabbed her husband's hand and asked him to leave immediately.
In the car, Ega was still silent with a facial expression that was hard to guess. Sadness, anger, longing, all merged into one.
"Aren't you okay?" indhi asked worriedly, her petite hand moving Ega's hand into his grasp.
He looked over so he could see his wife's worries. "I'm fine, baby. Sorry to worry you."
"Is sister still mad at Serly's mother?"
"Maybe yes, because I was still very irritated when I saw him!" said Ega.
"It's been a very long time. 32 years after it happened, why can't you forgive him?"
"Darling, what that woman did was a disgusting thing. How could a mother leave her child alone for the sake of a quiet life?Does such a woman deserve to be called a mother and get sorry?"
SERIATE...
