"Silver is good." Dita praises Bara while glancing at Rendra, fearing that her husband is jealous of his own best friend.
"Yes, Honey. And loyal friend. He was willing to sacrifice for his friends and loved ones. He is not a vengeful person either. Did you know he sacrificed so much for us?" ask Rendra to his wife.
Dita frowned not understanding. "What is it, Mom?"
"She's already sacrificed her feelings when I said I had feelings for you."
"Seriously, Mas?"
Rendra nodded. "He was approaching you at that time. He was angry, disappointed, but eventually supported me to approach you. At that time I was resigned if he wanted to beat me, but it wasn't."
Dita was surprised by Rendra's explanation. All this time she didn't know about it because her husband never told her.
"Oh, so that's the story. But Brother Bara seems to be relaxed."
"That's him, good at covering up his feelings. It looks cheerful on the outside, but it hurts so bad in the heart."
"It turns out there are many secrets, Ren, between you and Bara. He never told me anything about this." Adelia responded.
"But it's true, Bara is good, very good. When I was down yesterday he was always faithful to listen and accompany me. Even when I complained that a man would accept me as his wife, he said he would marry me if it turned out that no man would accept me for who I am."
"Seriously, Brother Adel?"
"Yes. But I said he couldn't sacrifice himself for me. He replied, Who would sacrifice. If in the end we get married, it means we are a match. And he promised not to get married until I got married, she said."
"Ehem .. sorry I went back first to get ready for the mosque, soon Azan Zuhur." Adi interrupted their conversation on the grounds of going to the mosque. Though he could not bear to hear the praise that was given to Bara, especially by Adelia. His feeling is very uncomfortable. Maybe by taking wudu will definitely cool his heart.
Rendra saw the prayer time schedule in his cave, it is true 10 minutes more azan Zuhur will reverberate. He also took part to prepare to go to the mosque. Stay Dita and Adelia both in the living room.
"So Adel prayed or was he idolized?" ask Dita when they're just the two of them.
"Salat, you?"
"I'm an idiot, brother. Later Brother Adel salat, I prepare lunch."
"Why not wait for me? I want to learn to cook."
"I cooked this morning, brother. Out of the market directly cook. Just cook for a little while, brother."
"Yes, nothing. But don't let me cook it."
Dita nodded. "Ready, Brother. I will prepare first while waiting for Brother Salat. So it's over Brother Adel salat, we're immediately executed."
Adelia held out her two thumbs.
"Adek, Adel, we go to the mosque first huh. Assalamu'alaikum," said Adi who followed Rendra behind him.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
Dita closed the living room door. "Come, brother, we're going to the back."
Adelia got up from her seat. He headed straight to the bathroom to clean himself up before taking the wudu. Dita went straight to the kitchen.
After everything was ready and sitting in the dining room, they had lunch together. Today Dita cooks tilapia mangut and saute kale. The aroma of mangut nila cooked with basil leaves is very appetizing.
"Enak ya turns out mangut indigo, fresh taste," commented Adelia.
"Have you ever eaten?" ask Adi to Adelia.
"No, Mas. I know how to kill a catfish" replied Adelia.
"Adel knows the only food in the campus cafeteria is the same restaurant, Mas," ledek Rendra.
"You're saying that you like it right, Ren." Adelia responds to Rendra's taunts, making them all laugh.
"Mas, later we watch Kak Bara gig ya," please Dita to her husband.
Rendra raised next to his eyebrows. "Indeed where he plays, Del?"
"I'm not, Ren. But the richness in one music festival event is that. You asked him yourself."
"Sister Adel, come with me, right?"
"If there's a friend, I want one."
"Brittle. Mas Adi come too yes, let rame. Adi has not been on the road for a long time."
"okay." Adi obeyed his sister.
"Sister Adel will go home first. We'll take Adel's sister home. Isn't that right, Mas Ren?"
"Yes. What a sing to you, honey." Rendra glanced at his wife's affection.
"You have to be mentally prepared in front of them, Del. I like not knowing where they both are" Adi told Adelia.
"Yeah tomorrow if Mas Adi is married in front of us," threatened Dita in a joking tone.
Adelia smiles at Adi and Dita's interaction. They both seem to love each other even though they are attached to each other.
...---oOo---...
"Bro, how are you?" bara was cheerful as Rendra and the troupe came to her band room backstage.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Thank God I have good news. How about yourself?" Rendra and Bara did their special salutation.
"We want to see Lo gig. Keep all invited to him," explained Rendra.
"Well, it's an honor that Dita wants to watch. What dreams did I have last night," joked Bara.
"Dita, Mas Adi, how are you? Long time no see." Bara greeted Dita and Adi.
"Alhamdulillah, our good news, brother. Sorry, brother, bring a group. I feel sorry for Mas Adi at home."
"I know a lot of people are watching. I'm getting more excited." Bara looks very enthusiastic.
"Eh, who is this? Adel isn't he?" Bara squinted her eyes looking at Adelia intensely.
"Yes. I'm Adelia. You don't know, Bar." Adelia looked pouted.
"Sori, Del's. You are so different." The reflexes embrace Adelia as usual.
Adelia felt uncomfortable, let alone Adi looking at her with a gaze that she could not understand.
"Bro, keep your attitude, Lo. Adel is in a hijab now. Don't touch her as usual, '" said Rendra.
"Upsss, sori, Del. I have reflexes." Bara immediately released his embrace.
"Yes, it's nothing. Don't repeat it again. I have the intention to move, Bar," said Adelia.
"Gue's really sorry, Del. I'm being happy. May your prayer for a godly husband be granted by God immediately" Bara's prayer is sincere.
"Aamiinu. Thanks, Bar."
Bara was called his bandmate. It was soon their time to go on stage. After that Bara said goodbye to Rendra and the group. He promised to meet them after the show.
Rendra, Dita, Adi and Adelia move to the front of the stage. They look for areas that are not too crowded and crowded. It was a bit far from the stage, but it could still see and hear clearly.
Rendra always holds hands and sometimes embraces Dita when passing through a crowd. Adelia followed Dita's steps, while Adi guarded her from behind. He looks after Adelia even though they're not holding hands. Like a bodyguard who looks after his clients.
Dita so enjoyed every song sung by Bara. Sometimes Dita also sang the lyrics. Although feeling a little jealous, but he was happy to see his wife was very happy. The position of Dita who stood in front of him, made him able to wrap his hands around his wife's waist. Keeping Dita from being disturbed by others.
Adelia stood on the side of Rendra and Dita, while Adi stood on the other side. Adelia looked happy too. Maybe only Adi is not so enjoying the music show there. Because his heart has been feeling restless since.
"Adel," called Adi as she approached Adelia's ear.
"Yes, Mas. What's up?" ask Adelia who is also approaching Adi.
"You like Bara?" ask Adi.
Adelia frowning. Where did Adi get such thoughts, he thought.
"What do you mean by Adi?"
"Do you like him more than a friend?" adi explained.
"Oh, no." Adelia shakes. "I just thought of him as a friend."
"If I want to accept you for who you are, how?" adi asked with a serious mimic.
Adelia's surprised. He was unsure of what he was hearing because of the loud sound of the music.
"I didn't hear that much, Mom," cried Adelia reasoned.
"I want to share with you and your family" cried Adi.
