As the moon rose in place of the sun, the sky darkened. A cold wind pierces the skin. The flickering stars are seen in the distance.
Reyhan walked straight to his car, followed by his parents from behind. They did not stop complaining about Hanna's disrespect.
"That kind of woman you chose, Rey? Who can't even appreciate this Mama and your Papa" he said again when they were already in the car.
"Papa understood his heart might have been hurt by the woman earlier. But at least he can stay seated and continue the conversation, not just leave it." The Papa chimed.
"Women are naturally hurt, Rey. Now which wife is not hurt, if her husband remarries another woman. Especially when you have children."
"He should be ...."
"Enough Mah! Uh!" reyhan shouted to pull over his car.
The mother sitting next to him was surprised to hear the screams of her son. So did his papa sitting in the back, he glanced at his wife.
Reyhan is seen leaning his head behind the wheel. The sadness was obvious, he closed his eyes and rubbed his face violently. After all being silent, he went back to running his car.
"We didn't raise you for this, Reyhan." Her father opened the conversation after they had been silent for quite a while.
"I'm sorry Reyhan, Pah, Mah."
"You have grown up, have your own thoughts, your own desires to defy our advice. But remember, your filial piety to your parents you should never leave." Papa reminded.
"Now it's up to you, if you still want to continue your relationship with Hanna Mama what can it be?" He looked relaxed in his chair.
"Only, there is a sense of unwillingness you prefer other women who have just entered your life in recent years. Rather than the woman who gave birth and raised you." he continued.
"Ma, Mama it's not an option but an obligation. There will not be a single woman who can shift or even replace Mama's position in Reyhan's heart and life." The man's eyes looked teary looking straight at the still quiet street.
"Mama and Hanna are different places and indeed complement each other. So please don't ever tell me to vote on this." Reyhan asked.
All were silent, drifting in each other's minds.
"It's hard this is the road I've been on to be with you, Hanna. Will destiny unite us in one pledge?" reyhan whispered in his heart.

The Hospital
"Can you stop looking at me?" hendi protests that began to ache hide his face behind a laptop.
"watching you? I saw the tv, who's staring at you?" kilah Siska pointed at the television hanging over Hendi sitting.
"Watch his eyes up clearly from earlier to me," he replied, turning his gaze away.
"Oohh so from then on you thought I kept on? Wh why? Is it hard to apologize?"
Hendi speechless his gaze swept back in all directions.
"Thank you, you care about me and this kid. It doesn't have to be hard to string words together, I've forgiven you." said Siska with a wry smile.
"Sometimes, sweet words will lose with sincere deeds." he continued to see Hendi who was still silent.
"For your health, do not let this happen again" he said then still cool.
"Can you keep up the attitude? So that this doesn't get triggered by him?" Siska asked back, looking expectantly at her husband.
Silence has no answer.
"I'll try it" replied Hendi without seeing Siska.
A curved line was seen on the woman's face.
"Are we moving house?" ask again.
"Yes, I've prepared everything."
"That means you're gonna leave me there? Like you said," said Siska slightly shaking.
Hendi fell silent again, now he saw his wife's eyes fixed.
"Maybe you will leave me if you know that this disease is lodged in my body" he whispered in his heart.
"I won't leave you" he replied later.
"What made you change?" Her eyes glazed over with no power to hold haru.
"This disease" he whispered again in the heart.
It's very interesting to say everything to Siska, but now is not the time. He must see the face of the child. For some reason, his heart became fragile and turned 180 degrees as death overshadowed his life.
Although he remembered the words of the doctor, that his life expectancy was still long. And not necessarily the virus becomes AIDS. But, Hendi thought about the worst possible thing that happened.
"Can't you answer that?"
"Can you fulfill my rights as well?" ask again.
"Don't ask for more than what I'm currently giving."
"Why? That woman still meets your heart?" Siska's gaze was sad to see Hendi.
Silent for a moment, Hendi looked serious typing on his laptop.
"You will be the first and last of my life" he replied without looking.
"What's? You think I believe? Seeing your cold attitude towards me all this time?" Siska chuckled at Hendi's reply.
"I'm not asking you to believe" he replied.
Now that Siska was silent, she tried to get up from her bed. But, just as his foot was stepping on the floor he fell down because he was still weak.
"You're all right?" a surprised Hendi asked immediately to help his wife get up and put her back on the bed.
"Kiss me" she asked holding her husband's shirt.
Deg. Hendi jerks. The reverse reflex pulls his shirt. However, Siska first pulled the body into her arms.
Their lips met accidentally. A gentle kiss landed there. Soon Hendi shifted his head.
"Let it be like this for a moment, I miss you." whispered Siska right in her husband's ear. Then he hung his hands around Hendi's neck.
The man's body looked stiff, awkwardness clearly visible on his face. His mouth was silent. It's just the heartbeat that seems to work harder.
"You're so hot, Hen?" Siska who noticed her husband's body temperature immediately let go of her hand and placed it on her forehead.
Not long after, the door was knocked. Viona appeared carrying a bag and two lunch boxes.
Hendi and Siska recoiled back to each other. Viona noticed the strange gurgle of the two.
"It seems like something has happened between them, ah, I should have held back even longer earlier." he murmured inwardly.
"Where are you, Sis?" tanyanya while on the edge of the bed after storing her luggage on the table.
"Siska good, Aunt. I can go home tomorrow too. Sorry well so ngerepotin," he said softly while bowed.
"What are you talking about? You're our family so there's no such thing as being repotted. Oh yes Hen, the phone said you're not feeling well?"
"No aunt, Hendi is fine."
Viona approached her niece and fumbled her forehead. Hendi backed off to avoid it.
"Yes very hot, Hen. I'm going home, let Auntie take care of Siska" said Viona closed Hendi's laptop and put it in her bag.
"But, Aunt ...."
"There, you rest. Must be a sauce, right? Or do you want to go to the doctor first?"
"No need, Hendi just went home. After the break later will also improve," he packed the goods.
At first glance he glanced at Siska who was also looking at him.
"I go home first" he told Siska, who was answered with a nod of his head.
"Later malem let Hendi aja guard, kasian Om Chandra left alone."
"Kasian Om Chandra or kangen your wife?" viona Ledek.
"What the hell, Auntie." Hendi opened the door.
Inside Viona and Siska chuckled at Hendi with a reddened look on his face.
"He's changed, Auntie." With a sparkling face she looked at the back of her missing husband behind the door.
"really? Thank goodness that is. Maybe Hendi feels guilty for making you sick like this" said Viona opened the lunchbox.
"Is he really guilty? Not because she might have rejected it? Or even hate him?" ask Siska in your heart.
"Siska was even more worried, what was behind this change?"
Seriate...
