SHAHDU IN THE SENDU
Bereft
...Part 19's...
...🍁🍁🍁...
Zain blinked his eyes and got out of bed, today he woke up early, no longer like the days before. Zain rushed to the bathroom, and it did not take long for Zain to be ready with his office, yes today Zain will return to his office, after a long time he took off his hands.
With Zain's handbag down from the second floor, as he walked down the stairs Zain looked towards the kitchen, a shadowy piece of a woman's back with her khimar crossed Zain's mind. Zain sighed then continued his way back.
Zain took the car keys on the right hanger, when he was about to get out, Zain returned dumbstruck, stared long inside, then closed the door quietly.
The MF International Group Building.
“Allah... Thank you God, you have restored the consciousness of our director, thank you Allah”. Reza spoke boisterously with both hands and then rubbed them on his face. With his spirit Reza walked towards the table that contained the director's nameplate, Zain who saw what his best friend was doing only frowned.
“What will you report”. Zain's refutation stops Reza's behavior
“Huhhh..” Reza breathed out
Many will I report to you Mr. Zain Malik Fahad, only I am confused to have to report from where”. Reza walked back and massaged his head
“I'm sorry I've troubled you so much over the past month, and thank you for your willingness it”
Reza stopped from massaging his head, and looked at Zain “Ah yes right, you must apologize to me, and yes right, the honorable father of the Director of MF International Group, he said, you're really, really troubling me, you know what's happened to me over the past month, your responsibility as the leader of this company is huge, Zain, and I don't have the capacity to bear all that, I'm completely overwhelmed”. Reza said all his words with a single breath.
“Honored Father Reza Mahardika, I have apologized and said thank you, if you feel not enough with it all, then I will raise your salary”.
“Ah yes right, you right have to do that Sir, benar”. Reza said excitedly as he approached and hugged Zain who rounded his eyes.
“Ck, this is what you want, basic, it is yes since inanimate objects called money are present in this world there is no longer a real friend, there are only friends money”.
“Hey hey hey, what do you mean say that?!” Reza let go of his embrace and looked at Zain with an unacceptable face.
Never pair friendship with money, because they are two very different things sir, friendship yes friendship, money ya another again”. Reza nyengir
“Already, now go to work”. Zain snorted
Do as well as your salary as I raise!”.
Reza laughed lightly listening to the sarcasm of his best friend's wrath, he used to listen to the cruel words that came out of the venomous mouth, “not what you are happy about Zain, vent it to me, it's okay”. Reza turned around and left the director's room, which began to busy themselves again with the company's report papers this month.
Until the clock has shown at 11:45, Zain is still struggling with paper and a laptop in front of him with one hand on his head, sometimes his forehead looks wrinkled.
“Huhh..” Zain exhaled and leaned his head against the back of the chair. With his hands constantly massaging his head Zain glanced at the clock that was coiled in his hand, at exactly 12:00. Zain got up from his seat and took his bag and car keys.
“Eh where are you going”?. Asked Reza who was trying to catch up to Zain who had just stepped out of the elevator.
“I want to go home”?
“Back, what's up? You sick?”
“No, I just want to go home”
“You want to eat, if you eat here only, we eat together, after all we have not eaten together for a long time, I also miss our togetherness”. Reza said with a giggle.
Zain continued to step up to ignore the ravings of Reza who had started to lag behind him. Reza just stared at Zain's back who left him with a whimper, Reza talks a lot today because he sees his best friend looks moody, very moody with his empty gaze.
Zain drove the car in the middle of the day slowly, the road was quite quiet makes Zain a little calm, thank God.
Arriving at the house Zain parked his car in the trunk, after which he rushed to open the door of the house, silence greeted him. Zain stepped in and closed the door again, laying down his body on the sofa without releasing the suit attached to his body until he fell asleep.
...🍁🍁🍁...
“Halo deck, have you been home from school”?
“Sholatnya already dear”?
“Already brother, pray first new eat”
“Pinter adek sister. Mother where's deck?”
“Mother is behind sister, again wash dishes, will you talk to me?”
“Iya deck, try to see what's done Mother nyuci dishes”
Echoes ran to the kitchen and found Ningsih drying her hands
“Udah brother, this Echoes love to Mother hp ny”
Ningsih who heard the sound of Echoes looked towards Gema and asked, “Is that brother Iza”
Echoes nodded and handed hp to Ningsih.
“Assalamualaikum darling”
“Waalaikumsalam Bu”. Zareen's voice sounded softly answered Ningsih's greeting
Mom, how are you, you're in good health, right?”
“Alhamdulillah Healthy mother son, Iza how are you son, good too, Ibuk and Dad?
“Alhamdulillah we are all also healthy bu here”
“Alhamdulillah dear, send greetings mother to Father and Mother ya”
“Iya ma'am, later za convey. Mom, I want to say thank you because mom has been willing to keep the Echoes all this time, thank you very much ma'am. Za feels bad because it has inconvenienced ibu”
“Mom don't feel bothered za, you don't think like that nak”
“Za sorry yes mom, za really feel guilty to mom and also Gema”
Ningsih sighed, her heart was sorry to hear her daughter-in-law across there speaking softly with a sobbing she was trying to endure.
“Have a son, don't talk like that, we're fine here baby, and Gemapun already understand this situation. No matter what, dear, take the time you need, calm your heart and mind. And keep asking for His guidance, son, the best path for your household. But, I hope that you or Zain do not take any longer son, because the problem will not be good if too long silenced. Self-reflection each requires, but do not fall asleep so forget to find a solution to the problem nak”.
Zareen who did not make a sound there, only a sobbing sound became more and more.
Hearing that Ningsih then continued his words, he had to finish this advice, “You still want to wait for Zain right nak”?. Ask Ningsih carefully
Old, just heard the voice of Zareen, “We just leave everything to God ma'am, how good it is according to Allah”
Ningsih was silent for a long time, honestly he did not want this answer from his son-in-law, but Ningsih realized that he also could not blame Zareen's answer, he who at that time saw for himself, but Ningsih realized that he also could not blame Zareen's answer, how the tears fell when Zain insulted and railed against him, then betrayed the kabul marriage that he once said himself. He understood the grief that Zareen felt at this moment, it was certain that the heart was very fragile.
Zareen stared at the screen that no longer lit up, sobs that he had tried to endure finally broke, with the roar of tears Zareen cupped his two faces and drowned his face on his bent knees.
“Allah knows how much I have taken care of this marriage ma'am, the sacred vows spoken from my husband's mouth are the most beautiful verses that I have preserved in my mind and heart,
hiks...” Zareen sobbing softly
my soul is already deep immersed in this sense of bu”. Zareen again sobbed in his arms until he fell asleep. Drowning in a heart-wrenching silence.
