Other Dream Women
Chapter 9. Unaltered

A typical mountain breeze hit the face of the clouds who were sitting in the gazebo of the restaurant. After his meeting with Anton was over, Awan chose to sit alone in the gazebo which was in the back area of the restaurant. In this place, the clouds can also enjoy the expanse of rice plants that are still green. That sight must have looked so soothing to the eye.

The clouds still dissolve in his own mind. His mind wandered far away. Not about the cooperation with Anton that was on his mind, but about all Anton's remarks about the mistress.

For seven years he became a husband, not one bit terbesit in his mind to double or cheat. But this time all that was said by Anton really disturbed his heart and also his mind.

"What is it true that Mr. Anton said if having a mistress can make us as men much more passionate?"

Cloud monologue shrill. He was still very curious about how Anton cheated on his wife's back while still being calm.

"It seems like I would never know what a sensation would feel like if I didn't do it. I think I should follow Mr. Anton's advice."

The clouds remembered the last few weeks he had been through. Where he is no longer satisfied with the workings and appearance of the wife. Cahya's face really looks so dull not shining and not at all soothing to the view.

His memory again revolved around Cahya's service on the bed. He admitted that his wife was not up like a banana gedebog like Anton's wife, but the more day the level of satisfaction he felt was far reduced from the past.

"Yes, I have to find a distraction. It's all for my sanity. So what if it's broken? Ah, I don't care. All this time I was the one sustaining Cahya's life. He would never be able to do anything without money from me."

The clouds moved from their sitting position. He swung his legs to get out of the restaurant. He only realized that for too long he had been sitting alone here. The clouds walked a little hastily towards the parking lot while staring fixedly at the screen. And suddenly...

Bruk!!!!

"AAahhhhh. How anyway? The road has no eyes!"

The clouds were stunned when they heard the shriek of someone shrill in the ear. He was startled when a young woman in formal dress half-squatted down to pick up some scattered maps.

"Eh, sorry, sorry Ma'am. I did not intentionally!"

The clouds crouched down to pick up some of the scattered paper. After everything was neat, both of them stood up.

"You this how the hell sir? How can you not look around?" the young woman protested with an annoyed look.

"Once again I'm sorry. I'm not focused."

The young lady let out a rough breath. "Other times if there's a problem don't bring it in the middle of the road, sir. It's like this!"

"Yes, I asked ma..."

Clouds speech was trimmed when he saw the young woman began to enter one of the cars parked in this place. Shortly after, he started the engine of his car and began to leave the parking area.

"Aaaarrgghhc .... Why don't I get acquainted first?"

****

Smile on Cahya's lips. After indulging in the salon by updating his hairstyle, now he set his foot to enter several clothing outlets in the mall. His gaze was immediately fixed on the underwear outlet that was here. Without further ado, Cahya swung her leg to enter that outlet.

"Good day Mother, how can I help you?"

Cahya's arrival was welcomed by one of the women who worked at this outlet. Friendly, he offered help to Cahya.

Cahya smiled knot. "I want to find Mommy's lingerie. Is there a recommendation?"

"Oh it just so happens that our brand has just launched its latest lingerie product, Mommy. Lingerie with luxurious design because it is made of silk material. We can guarantee if our products are very soft and comfortable to wear. Wait a minute, I'll get you the product, Bun."

Cahya just nodded. He occasionally glanced at the clock on his phone. There's still an hour left until the children's school schedule is over. Not long after, the woman came back to Cahya.

"Well, this is our newest product Mother. For the colors we offer there are three kinds. Red maroon, soft pink and lavender. Everything looks so pretty."

Cahya pay close attention to this product. It feels soft and no wonder if this product is priced at a fairly expensive price. Because as the saying goes that there is a price there is a form.

The staff was a little surprised. "Seriously Bun?"

"Yes Ma'am. Please just pack it up. It's me in a hurry because it's going to pick up the kids at school."

The employee nodded happily. "Well Mother, I'm packing. For direct payment at the cashier ya Bun."

"Good Ma'am."

Cahya walked towards the cashier with a big smile on her lips. He was wondering how happy the clouds if he saw her wearing this lingerie. Cahya was sure, with her new hairstyle and with this lingerie, Clouds would be even more fascinated. It might also remind her of the days of the newlyweds seven years ago.

I hope we can fix our strained relationship soon.

The moon is fully rounded on the canvas of the sky at dawn. Hustle and bustle of world activity that previously sounded so rowdy now seems to decay. Replaced by the chanting of Quran verses from inside the mosque that sound touching.

Cahya still sat down facing the qibla with her white face. The woman looks so solemn in her dhikr and also her prayers. He raised both hands, pleading for strength and patience to the owner of the universe.

Not long after heard the sound of the morning adhan reverberating. Cahya ended her prayer and approached the Clouds that were still wrapped in her dreams. The woman intended to wake the Clouds to perform the congregational dawn prayer.

"Mas .... Awake yuk. Adhan already, let's pray together!"

Gently, Cahya tried to wake up the Clouds. The woman sat on the edge of the bed and could only stare at the husband's back.

There was no response or response from the cloud. The man seemed to be so exhausted and was wracked by the intense drowsiness because it was only at one in the morning that the man arrived home.

"Mas .... Let's wake. We pray together!"

Cahya is not out of ways. This time he slightly shook the body of the Clouds so that the man could feel his presence. The body of the Clouds only slightly responded by writhing.

"What the hell? I'm still sleepy!"

"Let's pray dawn first Mas. It'll be noon."

The clouds dissolved again in his sleep even the man snored. He could only shake his head.

"Mas .... Mas .... Mas ... Let's wake. We pray together. Mas .... Mas .... Oh...!"

This time Cahya was a little harder in shaking the body of the Clouds. He really did not want to be late to perform dawn prayers.

"So good you are! I'm still sleepy. You know I just got home at one o'clock?"

The clouds suddenly wake up from their sleep. He sits on the bed. Although his eyes were still slightly closed yet the man could shout out loud.

"But this has entered the dawn prayer time Mas. Let's pray first. After that you can sleep again!" cahya said give understanding and negotiate.

"Aaaarrgghhc .... Praying no, it's all my business. What is prayer for anyway? I've been rich and successful so there's no need to pray anymore!"

Without waiting for a long time, the Cloud rose from its position. He walked away to get out of this room. Leaving Cahya who was still fixated and frozen because of her husband's attitude.

"Astaghfirullahalazim .... Why did the Awan also change not want to do prayer? This is what God is..."

The woman's heart was getting throbbing pain. The heartache when Cloud began to be rude to him was incomparable at the sight of the fact that Cloud had begun to forget his Lord. There were only clear crystals falling on the cheeks that accompanied Cahya dissolving in his own inner burden.
