The Crack of a Heart

The Crack of a Heart
Empty and Tasteless


"My man found your mother passed out in the rain right in the yard of your old house."


Arifa felt jolted. "Did Om Danish know all about my family all the way down to the ant hole though?" ask her inwardly while glancing and being silent.


"Then I told them to take him to my private mansion. And put him in a room. I gave him to start eating and drinking. But somehow the last few days the waiter in the mansion said, he didn't eat at all. Finally the doctor assumed the stomach acid rose, it made his life unhelpable. Before he died, I gave him a choice. First you have to marry me or she I'll kill in return for taking my mother's life."


Danish's explanation with an emphasis on the tone, made Arifa feel that she was not a really good person. As expected at the beginning, Danish temperament was worth avoiding. That man is not a random person.


While Arifa was currently just an ordinary person. Tomorrow he never knows how or what it will look like. Instantly Arifa stood up, looking fixedly at Danish.


"Did Om know who I was and how my family was?" arifa asked, her eyes starting to turn red. His emotions began to fade.


Danish indeed, make women emotional in the middle of the cemetery area like that. Isn't it ashamed of the gravestones that are there?


"That's right," Danish replied, feeling this time a landslide victory over Arifa.


"See? thank you for showing me and telling me all this. After this, never appear again in front of me let alone in my life. Mamah I already do not exist, that means the debt of life Om means also paid off. Excuse me!" Arifa was so content to say what had stuck in her heart long ago. The sudden presence of Danish in his life has indeed become a big question mark for him. Now, the man's face was very reluctant to be seen again.


Arifa felt her life was so empty now. Previously, he had always hoped to meet with his mama when he was in a quiet time. But now it has become bland, someone who is expected to have left it, not temporarily but forever.


With a gontai step, Arifa left the tomb of his mother and also the Danish who are still pecking there. There was no trace of guilt on the man's face.


Everything that Arifa had heard and seen today, had really taken her very seriously. But the weakness of the other side of him, he deliberately did not show. Because if that happened, an enemy would be cheering victory in front of his face. Yes, from this moment on Danish is his enemy.


Arifa immediately ordered a taxi online through an application on her phone. Want to feel immediately to the boarding place and express sadness on the mattress. In fact, it occurred to him that he wanted to move also from the boarding place he currently occupied.


It didn't take long, the online taxi stopped in front of him. Danish did not chase after Arifa who had now got into a car and then left and disappeared from her sight.


Along the way, those tears were unceasingly scattering down his thin cheeks. He just kept looking out the car window. There was nothing interesting along the road that he walked. Only a row of shops and small traders are busy peddling merchandise.


"Well!" Arifa exclaimed as if a bright light was passing before her eyes. His brain suddenly had an idea.


"Am I selling snacks online? after all, it can help the mother of the shopkeeper if there are many buyers. Why not try? Okay Arifa, quite crying. Now you must rise, you can!" arifa said in her heart, encouraging herself. Then wipe away her tears.


...----------------...


At seven o'clock in the night, Arifa had just arrived at the boarding house. He saw, the front door that had been damaged turned out to have been completed in change. However, he went inside and closed the door again.


Arifa leaned behind the door, exhaling a long breath as she felt her heart was already more relieved. After that, she went to take a bath to refresh her body.


It didn't take long, Arifa had finished her bath and was in her sleeping pajamas. His stomach that rang since then, until it was ignored. Ironically he felt pain in the upper part of his heart. The food stall near the hostel is quite far away, the mager mode has mastered him. He ordered food through an online app.


He really wanted to avoid the Danish as much as possible. Although actually what the man said just in outline only. For him, there is no more business with the Danish it has become a happiness in itself for his survival in the future.


Tok, tock, tock, tock.


Arifa got out of her room and went to the front room after hearing a knock on the door that she thought was an online driver carrying her order.


Chequek. After the door opened, the thin-faced woman choked. His throat was dry for a moment. Moreover, the person he saw now was ... Danish.


The tall, oriental-faced man stood before Arifa. With an expressionless face carrying a box wrapped in white plastic in his hand. It could be food or something that women like.


"Why should he!" he swore in his heart. Do not accept with the arrival of Danish who gini nights visit him.


"Excuse me, my mother wants to take food."


Arifa turned to the left side of Danish, it turns out that the food she ordered just arrived. Danish quickly opened his wallet and took out a hundred thousand bills and gave them to the driver.


"No need! I paid for the food through the app! after all, that money is not enough to pay for the food I ordered," said Arifa with annoyance who still controlled her every time she saw the man's face.


Food was taken by him. "Thank You Sir."


"Together, I'm sorry," said the driver when he saw two people in front of him look to be struggling. Arifa nodded and the online driver left.


With his leisure, Arifa just walked past Danish while carrying his favorite food.


"Not good junkfood tombs at night. Here I bring you a healthy meal so you don't faint again."


"What! do you know where he was when I passed out this morning? holy jeez! I need to be more careful and quickly move out of here," Arifa muttered inwardly. His breathing started to go up and down because he was too upset.


"Thank you for being heard. Sorry I can't accept it. From this moment on don't show up again in my life. Won't you be applying soon? why are you still bothering me? Go home there. I don't need your attention."


JEBRETT! The door was closed by Arifa. Danish who was about to endure it, was instantly undone. His hands clenched and somehow he felt annoyed because his attention was rejected by a 'susan' woman like Arifa. Though many women out there who crave a attention from a Danish.


This time he relented, putting the food he had brought before the door. Then get out of Arifa's boarding house.


"Why is he so mad at me? I haven't really killed her mother with my own hands. And Sinta died of her own fault." Danish muttered in her heart as she got into the car.
