The After The Divorce
10. Too deep

“Since when?”

“Six months ago,”

Nina pulled next to the corner of her thin lips, slightly tasting. He was laughing at his stupidity, he said. Six months ago, it was quite a long time to be in a relationship. And he was for six months, or maybe even months before he had shared the same man. How could?

Imagining it made him want to vomit, he did not expect if the husband he had been flattering betrayed him so deeply even with his own friend.

“Nduk, let's go nduk. Not good to talk outside.” Miss Sarmi suddenly came and approached Nina as well as Akmal, he pulled Nina's hand and invited her to go through Silvi just like that.

Whether it was just his feelings or it was true that the atmosphere in the house was suddenly silent since his arrival, even Akmal did not want to let go of Nina's body at all, he did not even want to look at his father. As for Sasa, he did not want to let go of Kamal. He continued to stare cynically at Silvi who was still standing beside Kamal.

“Please calm your mind, then let it pass. If this is indeed your destiny the same Kamal ended, then please say yes nduk.” Mr. Dipo said Nina. Now Lastri was also hugging her body as if she was channeling strength to Nina.

“Nina knows sir, insyaallah Nina will strive to sincerely.” Despite being so sick, there was nothing Nina could do but try to be sincere with all the betrayal her husband had done.

“Nduk, are you really not here?” bu Sarmi continued to hold Nina, especially now that Sasa was asleep in her carrier.

“Not buk, sorry. Nina will stay at home budhe mala mini, insyaallah tomorrow Nina back to the city.”

“Pardon ibuk ya nduk, ibuk can not educate Kamal well.”

“Not wrong mom, buk.”

After saying goodbye to Kamal's extended family, Nina took her children to her Buddhist home in the next village. Sasa was already asleep, lucky he brought a sling so he could hold Sasa in front and wrap him in his jacket while Akmal sat in the back, raining all the way as if supporting his feelings. But it does not matter, because the water that soaks his face now hides his tears that also wet his face.

Lying if he was not hurt at all, it should have been all over but a betrayal made the wound as deep and gaping, getting more painful until he was worried he would never be able to heal it.

Akmal was not as late as when he left earlier, suddenly he became a quiet child. I don't know what the child is thinking, even though Nina occasionally invites him to talk akmal just answer it just not like usual that many ask.

“Akmal already sleeping nduk?” asked the middle-aged woman with a cup of warm the tea in her hand,

“Already budhe,”

“Drink, let it warm a little.” The woman called budhe by Nina handed the warm to her, the rain did not subside and the more intensely made the air colder.

Nina shifted her seat as the woman was about to sit next to her, right now they were sitting on the terrace, the increasingly heavy rain seemed to have no effect on Nina. It might even rain in his heart right now was much more dense than that.

“You don't pa pa, nduk?” tanyanya while holding the hand of Nina who did not hold the cup.

“As you can see,” Nina does not want to lie to herself, she is not that strong to say that she is fine while her heart is really broken.

“Buhde was also very surprised to hear your divorce, budhe also did not expect that Silvi was chosen Kamal.”

Regarding Silvi, she had never negated the story after her marriage and wandered outside the area. Nina looked at her budheya, her budhey couldn't possibly not know something.

“How about Silvi's husband, budhe?”

“Yang budhe listen, Silvi has been divorced with her husband since two years ago. She and her husband were gifted a daughter of the same age with Akmal.”

Nina was silent, she really did not know the news about it. she did not even know if she and Silvi lived in the same city.

“It's night, go to sleep. You must be tired right,” said budhe as he stood up from his seat and rubbed Nina's shoulder.

“Budhe sleep first Nina nyulus.”

“Iya budhe,”

After her budhe entered the house, Nina looked back at the rain. He did not expect that his life would be this complicated and chaotic. In his mind there were still many unanswered questions.

***

“Let Nina aja budhe to the market, coincidentally Nina also want to buy something.” Nina said while taking over the rickety bag that was in her budhe hand.

“Alright, the notes and money are inside.”

“Siap budhe's. Titip Akmal same Sasa yes budhe.”

“Iya, don't worry.”

Nina had heated her motorbike from morning, she immediately wore a mint color bergo hijab and also a jacket, the air was still very cold because it rained last night. Because the market is not so far away, Nina accidentally does not wear her helmet.

It only took fifteen minutes to reach the market, Nina bought everything in her bud notes and the necessities she wanted to buy. After making sure all the shopping is complete, Nina also headed to where she owns her motorcycle.

“Nina,”

The voice of a person is forced to stop his steps, although in a crowd he can still recognize the voice.

“Shop yes?” he asked again as soon as he was near Nina.

“Iya mas,”

“Have long not eaten pecel punten our favorite that is ahead there, how would you like to accompany me?”

Nina could only nod her head, it just so happened that she wanted to ask the man who had filled her heart for eight years.

The place is wide so they can freely chat, they seem to be twisting beautiful moments together. Every time they returned home they never missed enjoying the pecel punten in front of the market.

“Can I ask something mas?” ask Nina after getting the chance.

Kamal stopped his chewing and looked at Nina, “Ask, I will answer her.”

“Anything?”

“Whatever I come from can answer it.”

“Why Silvi, mas?”

Kamal did not not know if Silvi was a close friend of Nina, they were even friends while still in school, everywhere they were always together. And Silvi?

“Why not someone else?” ask Nina again.

“Because Silvi is the reason why I received your father's proposal,”
