The Crack of a Heart
Disappointment of Arifa

Time still shows at 10 a.m. In the cafe where Sinta is located more and more during the day becomes more crowded. His frustration with Keenan was hard to vent. Finally Sinta left there after previously paying for the menu he had ordered.

The car is driven by a gray vios sedan while turning on music that is very touching. Sinta's tears also stemmed in the tail of the eye until it finally fell and flowed down both cheeks.

Along the way, Sinta only vaporized what she was feeling right now. Then accidentally, he saw a garden that looked deserted. Sinta pulled over and wiped her tears and chose to go to the park.

The atmosphere there was calm with the sound of splashing water from a small river in the middle of the park. The sunlight also happened to not be so dazzling to the eyes. Sinta sat on a chair with a view facing the stream. He closed his eyes, tried to calm his emotions, and tried to be conscious.

Slowly, his mind began to calm down. Suddenly remembered the time when Farhan was 5 years old and she was pregnant with Arifa. Sinta considers her children as a force for her. On the other hand, he also remembered the figure of Zechariah. The man who married her was over 25 years old but it was very difficult to have time for her.

Instantly the eyes were opened, Sinta then burst into tears while covering her face with both palms. His heart felt as if it had been pierced by thorns and stifled the chest. The marriage that he initially felt happy, is now at the end of the horn.

Actually he did not want to, but because of the fatigue of being a wife who seemed to lose the figure of a husband. Inevitably, he had to make that decision. Because he wants to be happy, wants to feel loved and loved.

"Leave her, or you'll never be happy with your marriage!"

Those words always ring in Sinta's ears. And as time went on, it was as if the words were true. For a long time, the person who said it was gone.

And that person was none other than Sinta's own biological mother. Because the mother had caught Zakaria's attitude to Sinta a week before the wedding took place.

Somehow, his heart said that the decision he would take at this time was very sure. Sinta wiped her tears back, then stood up and left the garden. He then drove his car later.

Until I felt the time had shown at 12 noon. He chose to fill his stomach that had been heard rumbling it to a shopping center.

After parking his car, his phone suddenly rang. There's a boutique number there. Sinta answered immediately.

"Yes, hello."

"Bu Sinta where? this is someone who wants a consultation about the wedding dress with Mom. I called my mother unanswered."

Sinta exhaled while massaging her forehead. "I'm sorry, I have business and I'm going to have lunch first. Has he been in the store for a long time?"

"That's half an hour ago, ma'am."

Sinta rubbed her face rough. "Peny, please convey my apology yes. Keep tanyain can be reschedule not that."

"Yes, Mom. A moment."

Sinta's forehead frowned when she heard her boutique assistant talking to the customer.

"That voice, not .."." said Sinta in his heart. He seemed to recognize and guess who the customer would wait for him during that time at the boutique.

"Mom, Mommy. Hello?"

"Oh yeah, how's Peng?"

"What about the weekend, ma'am?"

"Yes weekend .. okay then. I'll go to the boutique, you're like a regular holiday."

"Good, Mom."

Sinta disconnected the phone later. He saw his phone, it was true. Peny has called her dozens of times. Likewise with Arifa who was unbeknownst to Zechariah, he tried to contact his mother.

"Arifa .. geez I forgot that today is his report taking. Ah, yeah, that's it. There must be a Zaka who picked him up. Later let me talk to him after he gets home," Sinta said as she put her phone back in the bag. He got out of the car later.

...****************...

Now it's Zakaria's turn to order Arifa's favorite menu. He seemed unsettled after seeing Sinta in the same shopping center.

"Okay, I repeat yes ... "

"No need, Mom! I'm in a hurry." Zacharias then searched for Arifa's whereabouts in the restaurant. "Later just take it to the number 15 table there, yes" continued Zakaria while pointing towards Arifa who was sitting there. He took out a debit card from his wallet.

The restaurant employee nodded after following the direction that Zakaria was referring to. then said, "Well, sir. Here is the card and the purchase receipt. Wait 10 minutes, sir."

"okay."

After putting his wallet back in his pants pocket. He rushed over to Sinta who was still caught by his sight. At that time, Arifa did not realize the departure of her papa from the restaurant.

Not felt 10 minutes passed, the food that had Zakaria message was now served on the table where Arifa was. At once Arifa realized that her papa had not come to the table. Because his stomach was already asking to be filled. Arifa immediately finished her meal.

...****************...

A burly hand pulled one of Sinta's hands tightly. He was surprised and then looked. Himself was also stuck.

"Mas Zaka."

Sinta tried to let go of Zakaria's hand. But unfortunately it was too tight.

"Where have you been, Sinta, I've been looking for you for 6 months! the phone is never answered, the message is never answered. I keep thinking, Ta." Zakaria tried to hold back her emotions because she realized that their current place was not supposed to be fighting.

"Please, Mom! I'm sick of you. I've been trying to hold it all this time. Butwhat? your nature never changes. I'm a girl, Mas. There was a time when I needed attention and affection, support, strength. And you always care and don't care about me!" Sinta also pressed her voice and spoke as calmly as possible so that the people passing by there were not focused on them.

"Love ... " Zakaria then took Sinta to a place that was quieter than people passing by. "I'm sorry, I'm so wrong with you. I just realized that you're the perfect wife for me, honey. Please ... go home," persuaded Zakaria to Sinta who refused to see his face.

"Allah! it's bullshit. If I was the perfect wife for you. Why would you go with another woman even marry her!" His emotions and thoughts Sinta had surpassed.

Zakaria shook her head. He wanted to scream right then and say it wasn't true. So what exactly happened? why do they feel like something is missing from each other?

"Alright, Ta. I give you time to calm down .. If you still believe me, what you said just now is not true. I don't marry any other woman at all, other than you, Ta." Zakaria just resigned. For him to explain in any detail right now, seeing Sinta's emotions was not the right time. He was just trying to tell her in outline.

"I want a divorce!" The pressure-filled tone was Sinta blushing with a flushed face, an excited heartbeat and both eyes widened.

Without them knowing, Arifa was already standing there. Her tears flowed without excuse. Hearing his mother's request, made his soul seem to float. Mom who had always been there for him, suddenly said so. His heart wondered, what is it exactly?

"Ta, please don't make decisions when you're emotional." Zachariah begged Sinta not to part with him indirectly.

"Six months, Mas. Six months I've been thinking about. Maybe now is the right time. I want to split up with you!"

"So Mama wants to separate from Papah?"

Zakaria and Sinta turned to the source of the voice at the same time. They were surprised by Arifa's presence there. Moreover, Zechariah, he knew that Arifa's heart must be broken to hear his mother's request.

Sinta's lips froze. He then walked over to his daughter. They are facing exactly the same height. The eyes of both of them were locked, as if they were talking from heart to heart. Which child wants their parents to separate? For them, only their parents are perfect.

Arifa is trying to suggest that this is just a nightmare. A dream he never thought of. A flower sleeps and he should wake up immediately and be conscious.

"Sorry Mom, Fa. Mama can not be the same papahmu again," said Sinta with a slightly vibrating tone.

"But, Mah ... Is it really untenable anymore?" asked Arifa with her blank look.

Sinta shook her head with tears that were no longer contained. Then he hugged Arifa very tightly. But unfortunately the hug was not reciprocated by Arifa.

"I'm disappointed in Mom."
