Shackles the Heart of the Police Officer
CHAPTER 27 - The Attitude of the Former

Rambo was sculpting, shaking tightly until his hair was flying around. Water splashed from the end of his hair after he washed his head in the sink. Marwah is asleep, but Rambo still hasn't stopped thinking.

He looked at his face in the mirror, wanting to say to everyone including Anta Reza, "I've found Marwah! He and I have become lovers." Rambo said in his heart.

He still remembers very well, how his best friend knew his struggle to find love. However, Anta Reza was too straight, if she knew about Marwah even about their affair she would be the one who would oppose it out loud.

"Should I ask him to help her stay over as well? How about yes, I should find a suitable candidate. Anta Reza is actually good, but she shouldn't know about Marwah just yet." Rambo said slowly.

And as he daydreamed about it, his phone rang. Phone call came from Erin, his wife. It's a good thing, Rambo doesn't have to bother thinking about a way to get back home. At least this is what might happen.

"Hello, Mum?" Erin said from a distance.

"Yes, I'm here. What's up?"

"Mas, please come back. Just one time, I don't want to lose you. I'm really sorry I regret it so much."

Rambo was silent for a moment, thinking the right word. Not impressed him want to go home but also did not make him miss the opportunity.

"I'm thinking of a direction. I don't know how to answer you, and I was wrong to seek comfort from another woman. Actually, I'm not comfortable--" replied Rambo stammered, or deliberately stammered.

"I understand Mas. That woman who seduces you, she's not a good woman, so let's go home. We start all over again, just me and you."

Rambo was silent again, staring at the street outside through the front door breakthrough while walking. For a moment he stopped in front of the door of Marwah's room, glared at him briefly. Then continue walking again.

"Mass? You're still there, right? Please answer me, go home? Just the two of us, with no one else." Erin repeated her words.

Rambo's steps stopped just as he was outside the house, he began to sigh, "Well Rin, tomorrow morning before leaving for work I'll go home."

He gazed towards the night, the sky stretched wide full of stars, then breathed the night air in the quiet house and away from the city. This house is too perfect, let alone there is Marwah in it, Rambo thought.

"Can't be tonight, ma'am?" Erin said again.

"No, my eyes ache if I have to drive now. I rest first, you sleep too. Tomorrow morning, when you open your eyes, I'm already near you."

This gondrong man, besides being good at strategizing, he was also good at saying. Besides being good at lying to people, he is also good at lying to himself.

And Rambo's words just now, clearly gave Erin a breath of fresh air far away. Like getting her glory again.

"Good, Mas. I see, then you rest huh! I also want to sleep, so tomorrow morning when I meet you I am in good condition, do not forget to eat dear. Happy break my husband, see you tomorrow."

Rambo looked back at the sky as soon as the phone was settled and realized someone had been behind him, so close, but his shadow was in a dimness.

"You haven't slept, Om?"

"You yourself why haven't you slept?" Rambo replied, his voice so soft. As soft as the wind that touched the skin of his neck.

"I'm thirsty, so grab some drinking water in the kitchen. But back in the room, I saw you in front."

"So you came here... "

But in Rambo's eyes, Marwah saw no change, it was as soft and pure as the one he had known.

Memories of the times they used to be so vivid. He could still hear them fighting, arguing, mocking each other, and the sound of Rambo's motorbike at night while driving him home.

"Om, I'm upset."

Rambo frowned, he was unable to hide his astonished expression at this moment. "Obsolute? With who?"

"I'm pissed. When you meet again after a long time and see the change in you 180 degrees, or see Om with a different style of speech." Marwah.

Marwah's words and gaze made Rambo aware of something. Rambo smiled faintly, then said, "I've also felt the same way. For example, with your tears, I barely ever saw it even if only one drop. But now, it's easy to get out."

"I'm a whiny?"

"Ha ha, I've heard that the woman is actually strong, but when in front of the man she loves she will show her weak side so that the man will protect her, and embrace her to give peace." Rambo lowered his palm at the top of Marwah's head, then continued his words. "That means, right now you really love me."

Tonight teaches Rambo; that love is not always perfect, love can also cause injury and end up sick. As before, when he lost his identity because of the burden of love that made him plunge to the bottom of the abyss. "With you it is hard, but if not with you I die." As soon as Rambo confirmed in his heart.

When dawn came, after having finished breakfast together with Marwah. Rambo starts to start the engine of the car, and is ready to leave to return to the first house, where Erin.

Damn, Rambo feels like a husband with two wives. Go home from the young wife's house, then go home to the old wife. Ay, but that's not going to happen. For Rambo, there can only be one woman in a man's heart, that's what it's supposed to be.

"Mass? That you?" The first three words Rambo received upon arriving home. Erin just woke up, almost half an hour after Rambo came.

"Yes." Yeah."

Rambo moved closer, out of the darkness of the dining room, and stepped under the dim light beam. His dark eyes shone and Erin immediately ran welcoming him closer.

"Since when? Why don't you wake me up?" Erin said as soon as it reached her chest, but Rambo blocked the embrace gently.

"From now on, but I don't wake you up."

Erin's lips curled thinly, then said, "You say it as if we were that alien. We're better, don't be so awkward."

Rambo smiled, but the arch in his mouth did not show any sense of humor or a close feeling to Erin. "Sorry, you don't have to think far. I've been this way before."

Oh, Erin knows that. And he knew Rambo was right. For Erin, Rambo's attitude was as usual, stiff and narrow. But, this instead gives Erin a sense of calm, she believes Rambo has returned to his old attitude. Before having an affair with Marwah, Erin thought.

"Thank God, you're back. I'm ready to work first. You must have been bad luck too, right? Don't forget breakfast yes, in the refrigerator there is milk, a lot! There's bread too, you're left with jam alone. I'll take a shower, Mom!"

Erin thought at that moment, her position was already safe. It's not Rambo who's back as he used to be, but Erin herself. He did not change, all he said was a stale promise. Erin said it only from the mouth, and her brain would soon forget after the promise came out.

"Y!!!!!!" One shout came out from the room door, Rambo looked up to the top floor while frowning.

"I need warm water to wash my face. I forgot to prepare, I was lucky so I didn't have time. Please help heat the water for me, will you?! You're not late, are you?!" So said.
