Dusk came back and the hail drenched some parts of Jakarta but it did not dampen the footsteps of a handsome man who is now down the narrow road to his contract, many children play in the rain because this is one of the cheap entertainment for them and this is a pretty unique sight for a Keken, he said, he who used to live in a luxurious house very rarely played rain especially his mother had long forbidden him.
Keken can only smile considering the past, he who is wayward can only express himself and play at the house of aunt Navysah with his cousin, at home he can do what can not be done at home.
He came home quickly because he missed his wife. Farah's nagging and meanness always made her smile, for some reason the girl was so upset with him that she felt she had done nothing wrong. But when he arrived in front of his rented house, the smile disappeared when he saw his wife sitting on the porch with another man. The man who once filled Farah's heart may even now his wife still love the man. Keken tightened his jaw. He grew furious when he saw his wife smiling widely, not knowing what they were talking about so they both looked happy. But when Farah turned to look at her, the girl was so gasped that she stood looking at her.
"Ke.. Keken.." he said,
The man turned to Keken and smiled. I don't know.
"I'm going home first, you're resting." Hilman gently touched Farah's shoulder and the girl did not pull over at all. Hilman passed Keken without any guilt and just glanced at him with a cynical smile.
"Ken, a. I can explain." Farah stuttered to see Keken coming and did not greet him. Just get into the house.
"Give me a meal" Keken said as he lowered his backpack and opened the closet. Looking for a shirt and pants for him.
"A. I don't cook. A. I'll buy it for a minute." Farah was so shocked when she heard the closet that Keken closed violently. He was in a hurry to go buy food instead of seeing Keken getting emotional.
" So bang Hilman came here and I didn't know he was going to be here" Farah said on the sidelines of a meal with Keken
There was no word from that man.
" a. i__"
"Farah, I want to eat and help you not talk much." said Keken, he chewed rice field quickly. His stomach was very hungry because he could not eat. He is in a hurry to go home and meet his wife, but he does not expect Farah to receive a male guest when she is not there. Wanting to give a raw bogem to the man but Keken undo the heart.
Farah fell silent when Keken asked her not to say much. He knew at this moment Keken must be angry with him.
"I'm sorry" he said after the dinner. Now Keken lay and just stared at the television as if avoiding a conversation with him.
"What are you apologizing for."
"Deg!" this is the first time Keken has called him you. Usually Keken always call him affection.
"Ken, i___"
"Farah, I'm so tired and sleepy. I want to sleep." said Keken
"Dad sleep first, son! I'm tired these days." Keken stroked Farah's stomach and did not forget he kissed her gently several times. And that made Farah even more guilty.
Farah just kept quiet and watched her husband sleep soundly. A soft snoring sound sounded from him. Farah looked at Keken's slightly haggard face like a tired man.
"You must be working very hard." murmured Farah inwardly.
The Flashback
In the afternoon,
As usual Farah did her homework. After making a video call with Keken, he fell asleep and did not see Dini again because the girl went to the restaurant as usual.
The sound of knocking on the door rang out until Farah opened it without seeing who was coming. He was so shocked because it turned out Hilman came with a tangled face.
"Remember..."
"Flood..."
"Sit on the porch." Farah invited the man to sit outside because there was no Keken and was afraid of slander.
Farah was actually afraid when Hilman came let alone some neighbors they knew now whispered and talked about him. Farah and Hilman's relationship was fine before Keken and some of their neighbors knew that Farah was Hilman's former fiance.
" How are you doing?" Hilman stared at her with the clinging onto the woman who had once filled his heart.
"Well bang, brother how are you?" Farah also looked at the man who had been her fiance once.
"I wasn't okay after you married her" she said, her eyes glistening at Farah.
"I called you but I never could, I asked Dini and Vania for your phone number but they didn't tell me either."
" This one month I'm out of town, I guess I can forget you. Are you happy?" tannya
Farah just grinned a smile
" Did that man hurt you? "
Farah shook her head.
" He was responsible and kind to me" Farah said
Farah shook her head again.
" Farah, I'm here to see how you are. I miss you Far. " Hilman looked back at him intensely, wanting to feel like he was grasping the girl's hand but not brave because some people were still going back and forth. I also hugged her but couldn't.
"Abang.." said Farah.
" Never cut off communication with me, if the man is rude, call me immediately. There'll always be there for you, Far."
"Dude..." Farah looked down embarrassed, "I thank you but really I'm fine even if he sucks but he's a good guy."
"Is there still love for me?"
Farah looked up, gasping at Hilman's question.
"I ask you again, is your heart still for me?"
Farah was silent, she did not answer Hilman's question at all.
"No need to answer, I already know the answer." Hilman reviewed the smile
" I hope there's a second chance for me. After you give birth can you come back to me." Hilman stared expectantly that Farah would come back to him again.
"Abang.." said Farah.
"I'll wait for you Far and I hope your love is still for me."
"I'll get a drink first." Farah deliberately went inside to avoid Hilman, she does not know what to do because one side she still loves Hilman and one side she feels to be an ungodly wife for receiving guests when her husband is not around.
" drink... " Farah offered a warm tea with a little sugar.
"You still know my favorite Far." Hilman took a sip of the tea and it did not taste too sweet like his habit of giving only a little sugar.
Farah just grinned.
"Give me your phone number." asked Hilman, he looked back at Farah who was squeezing his fingers.
"There's no need to be afraid of your husband, I'll talk to him" Hilman said
"But bang?"
"Don't worry, I know you married her for being forced. And we can repeat our love after you give birth, I accept you and this baby Far."
"Abang, i...." Farah was confused with herself. Which one he should choose.
" Never think of loving that man, he's not a good man Far. He's always struggling - change women and I don't want you to be hurt."
Farah does know Keken likes to change women but since marrying him he has never seen Keken holding other women except Michelle, his ex.
" I'm the best for you, Far. " Hilman was still staring at him intensely and expectantly. But Farah did not have time to answer, Granddaughter tea came with her son and greeted them.
"Eh, neng Farah there's Hilman's brother's guest." he said.
" Reunian ya neng, inget neng already married. Si Aa must be angry if it's found out there's a Hilman bang here."
"Bang Hilman, neng Farah is married don't bother the man bang's wife. Mending the same with this single. Eleven-twelve kok neng Farah." God
Hilman just grunts a smile, he's used to hearing the chatter from Granddaughter's tea.
"The one buy two bonuses is still all fast, bang!" it's funny again
" Promotion continues to sell." teased Farah while smiling
"For neng business, how to know Hilman khilaf bang and want to be the same about hihihi." he said.
" Teteh entered was once a bang." he constrained his daughter to enter the house
"He's still the same Far" Hilman said with a smile.
"Yes, that's why Dini is sometimes the same as teteh." Farah could only smile
" When you left, he was the one you were talking to. If the Dini only asks just that but if he has anything to chat with." Hilman remembers being together with Grandchild's tea when Farah was not at home.
" Yes, it's really good. If I ask for something, he'll buy it even at night. "
And they laughed loudly while reminiscing about the events of the past and Keken unwittingly saw all that.
