For four days Khayra and Ferdinan were married. But the man never demanded his rights as a husband.
Khayra did not know to be happy or sad. What is clear is that Khayra can still cover up if he is no longer holy.
Khayra dress. Today he returned to work. Ferdinan seemed to still be asleep in his dreams. The man came home at two in the morning.
Khayra approached the bed and woke the man up by shaking his body slowly. Currently Khayra and Ferdinan have moved into apartments.
"Mas, wakeup. It's eight o'clock. Doesn't it work?" khayra asked as she shook her husband's body slowly.
"What's wrong? Just disturb the sleeping people!" snapped Ferdinan. Khayra was shocked to hear the man's loud voice.
"Didn't it work?"
"I am a subsidiary of the company owner. No one would dare to fire! You're disturbing my sleep!"
"I'm just asking for permission to work this morning. Breakfast can be heated later when you want to eat!" khayra.
"Don't make breakfast for me! I'll never touch anything else to eat it."
"Alright, Mas. From tomorrow I won't make breakfast again!" khayra said with great emphasis. "I say goodbye" Khayra said next.
"You don't need my permission!" ferdinan said and closed his eyes again.
Khayra took a deep breath to ease her disappointment. The woman hopes that her marriage will go ahead even if they are arranged.
Withholding tears, Khayra came out of her room. Walking into the elevator with his head down Khayra did not see anyone in it.
The man pulled Khayra's waist and hugged her. Khayra thrashed in fear. The woman wanted to scream, but had not had time to do that, her mouth closed with the man's hand.
"Dear, don't scream. Later people heard," said the man who was none other than Barra, his sister-in-law.
Khayra turned her head to look at Barra. The man wiped away the tears that fell down his cheeks.
"Don't cry, Khayra! Your tears are too precious for a man like Ferdi. If he doesn't want your presence, remember there's me always waiting for you to get back together."
The Khayra cry that had been held from earlier finally broke. The woman sobbed while hitting Barra's field chest.
"Why did you and Mas Ferdi hurt me. What wrong? Do I not deserve to be loved?" khayra said while crying.
Barra hugged Khayra's body. "I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'll make up for all my mistakes. Give me one more chance to prove I love you."
This time Khayra made no attempt to let go of Barra's embrace again. He shed his tears on Barra's chest.
Until the elevator stopped, Khayra let go of her embrace. The woman got out of the elevator in a hurry. He walked towards the parking lot.
When Khayra wanted to call a taxi, someone held her hand. "Let me take you to your workplace!" barra said by pulling Khayra's hand towards her car.
Khayra just resigned and followed where Barra's footsteps. After they got into the car, Barra was running at medium speed.
In the car the two were silent, dissolving with their minds. Khayra still remembered Ferdi's words earlier.
It is painful to be the one who always tries to be what others need, but is never appreciated. What is worse than being hated is being ignored because you are like nothing at all, and your presence is nothing. The deepest wound is when you are unable to see with your eyes, and the deepest sorrow is when you are unable to speak with words. Being sincere seems to be the last way when everything we want can no longer be achieved and obtained.
"Thank you" Khayra said as she reached the parking lot where she worked.
Khayra works in one of the city's supermarkets. The woman had only graduated from High School, so she could only work in shops. However, Khayra was happy. Currently he holds the position of cashier and salary has also been in accordance with UMR.
"No need! I can go home by myself."
"Or I'll wait here at three in the afternoon!"
"Barre! Understood it. If we are not good often together. It will cause slander."
"I'm waiting here. Until you get home!" barra ignored Khayra's words.
Barra recalled that when she met Khayra, she worked in a clothing store. If it's the morning shift, he'll be home at four in the afternoon.
"I came home at half-five" Khayra said. Barra smiled hearing the answer from the woman.
"I'll wait four o'clock here. Remember that! Don't cry anymore for a man you don't deserve. Don't buy lunch. I'll order it for you!" barra.
"I brought provisions," said Khayra showed the provisions he brought. Barra got out of the car and approached the woman.
"It's just fried rice. Here for me breakfast. I happen to have no breakfast." Barra took it out of Khayra's hands. "I'll replace it with other foods. Come inside. Happy work!" barra.
Khayra walked into that super market. Barra looked at her until the woman disappeared from sight.
"I'll take you from Ferdinan. You don't deserve a man like him" Barra murmured to herself.
***
At exactly 4pm Barra had been waiting in front of Khayra's workplace. The man finally went in to see Khayra. Barra only bought one bottle of mineral water.
"Why did the speed pick him up?" khayra asked when Barra was at the cashier.
"I'm afraid you're lying. Who knows, 4 o'clock" Barra said with a smile.
"I never lied. Maybe you lie to people so scared yourself if lied to."
"Don't insinuate!" barra.
"I'm not insinuating, I'm telling the truth. It's there! Others will be queuing up too!" Get rid of Khayra when there are buyers who will pay for groceries.
"I'm waiting outside. Okay!" barra said and walked with a happy heart.
It seems Khayra has started to accept herself again. It was evident that the woman was no longer tired.
