Pair of earrings


One roof, but not one another. What happened to Peter and Kinan. That night there was a great quarrel, the anger of Piter that Kinan had never seen during knowing the man must be witnessed when he refused Kinan's request to divorce.


"Don't joke, it's a taboo to say by a husband and wife"


"I'm not kidding, I'm serious" Kinan passed by Piter on the doorstep to walk into the living room. All of which Kinan had thought. There is no reason to keep their marriage. They were married because they had to, there was a baby who needed responsibility, but now all was not necessary anymore.


"I don't want a divorce!" the tone of the voice of Piter was getting higher.


"Come on, isn't this what you want, is it? you were half-dead evading this marriage. You don't have to hide, I know you're happy we're divorced"


Peter looked at Kinan. It was like strangling that woman for having such thoughts. It was only after Kinan's miscarriage that Piter increasingly wanted to be with Kinan, wanting to protect the woman.


"Throw that thought away. Come on Nan, not because we just lost a prospective child until we have to divorce. We are young, we can have more children. How much do you want? two? a four? a six? I was able to give it" he said sitting at the table so that he could face each other with Kinan. Their hands touched each other to the point of making Kinan stare at the man. Kinan even leaned against the sofa so that between them had space.


"That's a word from your heart or just from your mouth, but I don't care. I still want a divorce" Kinan had already stood up leaving Piter sitting down.


One week passed, the two looked increasingly foreign, although the more maintaining distance was Kinan. Piter followed Kinan's desire to keep quiet just because the man wanted to give the woman some time to calm down before returning to persuade and discuss their issues. Whatever happens, Piter won't let go of Kinan.


It's too early to say that Peter is already in love with the girl. Whatever his sense of loving someone he doesn't know, because never has, but clearly Piter doesn't want to lose the girl, and tying her in a marriage bond is the only way.


***


Kinan just got out of the elevator and walked towards the office lobby as his phone rang.


"Hello ma'am" his greeting was respectful.


"You how are you? are you healthy, son? where are we again Kinan?" her in-laws' questions are long-winded. It had been a week since she was discharged from the hospital, it was the last time she met her in-laws. Although almost every day Ms. Salma always told people to deliver herbs and spices to Kinan.


"I'm good Mom. It's just coming home, still in the office lobby. Mom, how are you?"


The conversation continued until Kinan arrived at the apartment. Fifty percent of their discussion is advice and advice for Kinan, must be patient and sincere to release his baby candidate.


"Yes Ma'am, I will tell you" Kinan assured his in-laws. Just opening the door of the house, Kinan could already smell the fragrance of cooking that was able to make him swallow the saliva. The urge to find the source of the fragrance made Kinan reach the doorstep of the kitchen. There a handsome man wearing an apron on his back was busy with his frying pan and cooking.


There's a subtle shiver seeing it. During their time together this was the first time Kinan had seen Piter cooking in the kitchen. The small smile from the man's lips was able to pull Kinan's lips to curl a smile.


"Eh, you've come home" said Piter who turned to see Kinan who was standing watching him.


"What meda?"


"Look at. I made it for you" said he lifted a plate containing grilled fish complete sambal dabu-dabu.


"What if you don't work?" Kinan followed Peter's invitation to sit at the dinner table.


"A half day. The trial is pending until next week"


Kinan observed how the man scooped rice into a dish and served it to him. His stomach that was not in the afternoon rang until it was heard by Piter who managed to make the man smear his lips.


"Let's eat." said he handed the spoon to Kinan's hand. Pleasant Piter cuisine. He even likes it. Kinan subconsciously raised his face looking at Piter who was also looking at him.


"Eating dong, we haven't eaten together in a long time" Piter filled his plate and started eating.


"Mommy called, we're going there tomorrow. Mother's birthday" said Kinan who made Piter stop his intention of scooping rice into the mouth.


"Why can I forget my mom's birthday? then what are we giving you?" tanya Piter thought. She already knew her mother's birthday, because Ms. Salma also called before contacting Kinan. Piter felt that if he invited Kinan, the girl would refuse to ask her to tell Kinan. Piter believes that if the mother asks, Kinan will not refuse.


"I don't know either. News from mom suddenly"


"Here we go to the mall looking for gifts for mothers" suggested Piter.


Some branded clothing stores have been explored, the initial intention was to give bags, but after seeing again, Kinan felt less fit. Then go to the watch, but a variety of luxury watch collections that also stop them from choosing. Passing through the jewelry store.


Kinan's gaze stopped on a pair of beautiful white earrings made of diamonds. Kinan could read the name of the beautiful earrings Cartier Nouvelle Vague Earrings.


From the name of the earrings that pin the name of the famous jewelry brand, Cartier, Kinan has guessed the price must be expensive.


According to her saleswoman, this beautiful pair of earrings is made in the most romantic city in the world, Paris. These earrings are made of white gold with diamonds as the main jewelry.


"Good right?" tanya Kinan looked at Piter.


"Good, you must be pretty wearing it"


"Not for me, but for the mother's gift" her whistle blew her lips.


"But I also want to buy this for you" said Piter see other types of Cartier designs.


"How much is the price?" whispered Kinan to the salesman.


"Rp 1 billion, ma'am" Kinan's esophagus choked. Naturally, the price of earrings is as fantastic as that. The stuff is good too.


"Why?" tanya Piter was about to eavesdrop on the whispers of Kinan and the shopkeeper.


"Ga papa"


"Sir, I want another one too. I choose the one next to it" said Piter casually. It was precisely Kinan who gasped at the words of Piter.


"But mbak.." Kinan dragged Piter away from the shopkeeper.


"What the hell would you like to order two. One aja. If it is still less, mending buy a bracelet, the time of two pairs of earrings for a mother's gift" he said.


"Who said to both mothers? one for you"


"Don't come from. That's 1 billion loh"


"Certain why? you deserve even more than that"
