Chapter 50

Santi has promised not to tell anyone the problem of the disease suffered at this time by Rela. He thinks it's not his right to tell someone else's illness.

'If I speak and be heard by oma, Azizah can be led to the police with her. Better just shut up. The original perpetrator has not been found either.'

Santi cleared a few times. His throat feels dry.

'Not very sensitive this is the Father. People from earlier talked to but not given a drink.'

"If that's just ask the same mother, if you're home. Why go?. Sorry, Mister. It's bedtime, I have to hurry home." Santi also left. However, before closing the door he said, "If you want your household to be happy, throw it away, tuh, whose name is benalu."

Flashback.

***

Irwansyah had been suspicious of Aunt Rose who had done all these things. But he has no evidence. He got up from the bed and sat by the window where Rela used to sit there lately. The quiet and cold atmosphere was now felt by Irwansyah.

'Is this the feeling you feel when I'm not by your side?'

Irwansyah saw that there was an inscription of her name on the window sill. It was the writing of Rela. He was able to recognize the calligraphic writing style that Rela used to often create when they were dating.

The same thing Irwansyah did. He wrote his first wife's name next to his. He remembered when he was still in college. The time they spent together felt like the world was beautiful. Whatever problems they always go through together.

'If there was anything, we were always open. That's right Santi said. Had it been, I had also told Rela about the laxative to her maybe she would have found out another truth of the incident. I did it because I didn't want Azizah to be accused because after I thought again, she couldn't possibly do that. Although it took me some time to convince myself first.'

Irwansyah felt cold, she also took a jacket in her closet. When he pulled the top jacket something fell off.

'plane tickets?'

There was another piece of paper and it read, "The 1st Anniversary of Irwansyah & Azizah

Irwansyah's heart felt in rem_at, even she did not remember the date of her marriage with Azizah. While Rela, he prepared a holiday gift for himself and Azizah for 5 days to go to Bali with a date to depart for 3 more days.

There is no passion to celebrate one knows his marriage to Azizah. Half a heart, half a soul, and half a life he went nowhere. Especially just to go on vacation.

***

Irwansyah ordered a pendant necklace as a gift to Azizah. The woman accepted happily.

"Sorry, I should have given you that gift yesterday" Irwansyah said.

"It's okay, Bang. Just by remembering the date of our wedding alone, I was already happy. It doesn't feel like we've been together for a year" Azizah replied with a big smile.

"I'm sorry, if I haven't been able to be a good husband to you. There are still many shortcomings of me as a husband, especially as a man," said Irwansyah.

"I am very .. very happy to be my wife. Instead, I can't be a good wife to you."

Azizah hugged Irwansyah's body tightly, it felt that now her husband's body was a bit thin and her eyes also did not shine as usual. His skin also looks dull.

'Just left for a while by mbak Rela, Brother is like this. What if in a month?'

'Brother Rela, look at this husband of yours! He became weak because there was no you by his side.'

***

It has been a week Rela left and the situation of Irwansyah is very concerning. His body became thin and his eyes were sunken and the circles of the black eyeballs. Beards and whiskers are also allowed to grow, not shaved.

Although Irwansyah every day he still move as usual. However, at night he will experience insomnia. He rarely even slept at night, at least an hour. The rest he used to draw closer to God.

"Oh Allah, do not separate me from Rela." That was the prayer he often chanted at night that felt cold and lonely.

***

Will Irwansyah be able to live her days as long as it is left by Rela? Wait for it to go, yeah!
