Kalun sat down on the carpet in front of the sofa chair that Aluna was sitting on, his hands nodding Aluna's right hand, like the one who did the chanting to her parents, he began to recount the night of the incident when he made Fandi die, he was so fluent in telling it, in contrast to previous days that it was difficult to open his mouth. While Aluna was only able to cry in front of him, with tears that kept dripping on the back of Kalun's hand.
“So because you feel guilty, you married me?” Aluna paused her words because her breath felt short, “What I had been thinking all this time turned out to be a big mistake, I thought you were a helper angel who brought me out of trouble, you know, but it turns out that you created all this complexity,” he continued summarizing the story of Kalun.
Kalun clasped Aluna's hand even tighter, not letting her loose as Aluna tried to pull her away.
“It used to be a darling, it used to be a feeling that haunted me, but believe me, now I love you,” Kalun said as he hugged the leg of Aluna sitting in front of him, putting her head on Aluna's thigh.
“Now I am a little grateful with I forgot the memory, I can not remember about the beginning of our marriage, at least I also do not remember how bad you used to do to me.”
Kalun shook his head, rejecting Aluna's statement if she had behaved badly to him. Kalun was already unable to defend himself, his bad image had already been destroyed in front of Aluna, because Aluna never remembered how kind he had been to his wife.
“What do you want after this?” tanya Kalun after a few minutes did not hear Aluna's voice. He looked up at Aluna's eyes.
Aluna returned Kalun's gaze, trying to release Kalun's hand that was hugging his leg. Her tears came back when she looked into her husband's eyes.
“I want to go home,” says Aluna.
“We're home, baby, we're home, or do you want that old house? Alright I'll give up we'll move there, but please don't leave me, I'm sorry!” sahut Kalun who had come to let out his tears, he shook his head at the end of his sentence.
“I want to go home to my papa, I want to think about how our next relationship will be. I want to calm myself down to receive all of this,” Aluna said as she stared in the other direction. She could not see Kalun crying in front of her at this moment, she would definitely feel melted when she saw her husband crying without a sound in front of her.
“Do not do that, instead we will go to the doctor after this? We will begin our new life. Didn't we promise we'll pass it together?” Kalun pleaded in front of Aluna, he did not want Aluna to leave.
“I've decided it, and I'm not asking for your opinion, I'll leave tonight too,” explained Aluna who insisted on leaving Kalun to calm herself.
“I'm coming, I'll stay there with you, we'll keep together,” whine Kalun who's holding back Aluna's legs.
Aluna rubbed her tears, she smiled wryly towards Kalun, then closed her eyes when she saw Kalun's eyes that re-emerged her tears.
“Do you love her more than I do? why is it so hard for you to forgive me?” tanya Kalun who banged his forehead at Aluna's feet.
“I did love him. Try not to hit him maybe me and he can live a quiet life! But everything changes, everything changes Kal! You remind me how you came to me, in what way you asked me to accept you, that's what I regret, that our relationship started from a mistake, and a lie, I doubt if I really love you, I really love you, now I ask, let me go!” lirih Aluna while occasionally wiping her tears that continued to flow, her chest became increasingly tight when she said that to Kalun.
“You were right, I lied to you back then, but not with my feelings,” Kalun said as he let go of his embrace. He then distanced his body from Aluna. He felt his efforts were in vain to persuade Aluna at this time. Kalun got up from his seat about to leave Aluna's seat.
“Go! I will not prevent you from leaving! I'm wrong here, I deserve everything!” kalun said in a soft voice there was no affirmation there, after which he walked towards the upper floor towards his master room. He relented and accepted that Aluna would leave him tonight. He could not prevent Aluna from leaving him, because of all the mistakes he had made.
So did Aluna, she went to her room, to change clothes and take her suitcase, then walked to Kalun's room to take all her clothes.
Aluna arranged her clothes that she needed to carry. The shadow of togetherness with Kalun who felt short flashed past, he arranged his clothes with tears still flowing.
Kalun who had just finished his bath, immediately slapped his body on the bed. His head felt dizzy, he could not help but feel the pain from thinking about his current problem. He slept there, bringing his anxious feelings to dreamland.
Aluna looked towards Kalun who was asleep in bed. He just stared at her not wanting to get close to Kalun at the moment. He then went downstairs, picking up the little notebooks he always put beside the tv. He wrote down all Kalun's needs as long as he was leaving. Writing the usual dose of coffee and creamer he gives to Kalun, writing the type of blend of tie colors and shirts that deserve Kalun wear. All Kalun needs all Aluna wrote there. Last Aluna wrote the word ‘Take care of yourself at the end of the note paper and put it in front of the television table. Hope Kalun reads the note after he wakes up later.
Aluna circulated her gaze once again towards the corner of the apartment before leaving the apartment, trying hard to forget the fond memories with Kalun. He then walked away from the apartment, there was still the last flight later at 10 pm, he still had 1 hour to get to the airport.
Aluna continued to stare towards the road, not caring about the ringing of her cell phone that continued to be heard. Until the taxi arrives at the airport, he reassures himself that he will actually leave the city for a while. Aluna will calm herself down first, to break off the relationship with Kalun next, as well as release her longing for her papa. Aluna put her foot into the airport which still looks crowded.
Aluna started boarding the cabin, after hearing the call of the plane that was going to overlap her. Aluna rolled her gaze towards the passenger seat, only a few seats were filled there, considering this was a curfew, it was rare for people to board a night plane, if not in an emergency.
Aluna deliberately has not told her father at this time, she still keeps her problems tight, she just wants to calm herself in Solo, whether until when she does not know.
Exactly at half-twelve p.m., the plane that Aluna was boarding landed at Adi Soemarmo airport. The rain of the night immediately greeted him that night, making him refrain from going home immediately, he waited for the rain to subside a little, after which he would look for a taxi to take him home to his father. Waiting for the morning. He was also worried that his papa would think about his condition coming at midnight. Aluna looked at the ring on her finger. He remembered the words of the motorcycle taxi driver who had taken him to Fandi's tomb. He just smiled as he kissed the ring attached to his finger.
Aluna fell asleep at the airport tonight. The next day he was awakened by the sound of the crowd of passengers who had just arrived, he immediately ordered a taxi to take him home.
When he arrived at the housing complex, his steps were still in doubt when the taxi stopped in front of his father's housing. But the scream from his father who called his name, made him eager to hug the man who was no longer young. He was greeted kindly by his father who was feeding his pet bird. As he was brought into his papa into the house, he passed by his stepbrother who was about to leave the house for work, his gaze turned sharply towards Aluna when he found out Aluna's left hand was carrying a suitcase.
