The Crack of a Heart

The Crack of a Heart
Just Know the Nature of Diana


"Mrt ... "


Arifa turned her head towards Diana while putting her index finger on her lips, gesturing for Diana to shut up.


"Where are you, Fa? how are there female voices? that who?" farhan asked after hearing Diana's voice on the other end of the phone.


"At the house of bi Lina, sister. I had time to go to the mamah boutique, his intention was to watch. But, look at the button a lot is not so. If that was Diana's voice sis," explained Arifa accompanied by a sigh.


"Oh that. It is so different now, his voice. So more bass." Farhan and Arifa laughed together.


"So long there, the voice of his own cousin to not know!" ledek Arifa while laughing.


"Yes yes, hehe .. Yes, don't be sad. There are still brothers with papah. Later if you are already at home we watch," persuaded Farhan to his only sister.


"But soon Brother Farhan will marry me, I'm alone at home." Arifa instead cried, her voice slightly sounded more stingy. While Diana was sitting next to him, trying to calm down by stroking his back.


"Hey, Arifa is beautiful. Don't cry, even if you're married. Brother will stay in Indo, just calm down. If you need Diana to make a stay at home so that you can nemenin you," persuaded Farhan back. Hearing the brother's persuasion, Arifa smiled even though Farhan did not see it.


"Okay deh My handsome brother .. later we continue to chat aja yes, Brother. Bye, Brother."


"Byeah, Arifa."


The phone connection ended. Arifa put her phone on the bed and looked at Diana with the faint smile she showed.


"Don't be strong, Tea. No matter how hard a woman tries to be strong, her weaknesses remain. It's okay if Teteh wants to cry, confide in me. As much as I can make a little girl."


Diana was only 16 years old, but her mature thinking was incomparable. Diana was in the position of Arifa. The difference is that his father abandoned him and his mother. At that time he was 6 years old. Diana and her father were so close. The sense of loss is still present to this day. At the age of 9, Diana's mother remarried. Luckily the man who wanted to marry his mother also loved him very much like his own biological son.


With a strange condition, circumstances that require him to become more mature in thinking and behaving. However, he still respects his biological father who until now is either where, whether still alive or dead.


Diana was certain that one day she would meet her father. However, the disappointment still exists. However, when he married. The figure of the father that he will need to be his guardian, Diana thought so.


Arifa let out her cries until her feelings were completely relieved and both her eyes were reddened. Diana left Arifa in her room to recover her feelings for a moment.


"Di, Teteh do not want mamah same papah like gini. Don't they love each other anymore, Di?" asked Arifa whose heart was still misty for sadness. His common sense is not yet fully aware to be able to think more clearly.


"Who the hell is the tea that our parents want to split? I'm sure most children don't want anyone to be a parent ... Tete mending, although mamah Teteh is not one more house, but still can be found. If I were, if you'd gone, you wouldn't know where his nose is now." Unknowingly, Diana opened the old wound back. Arifa choked and stopped her crying.


"I'm sorry, Di. Tetah does not mean to make you become emotional," said Arifa while wiping her tears.


"Haha, yes, tea is okay. Just relax. I just don't want to keep sad. As long as you know yes, since my father left, I have a strong determination," said Diana calmly and confidently.


"What determination is that?" ask Arifa curiously.


"Teteh diem yes, dreaded well," Diana ordered as she brought her face closer to Arifa's ear. Meanwhile, Arifa complied.


The duuuud prepetprepet cussss


"Dianaaaaa! slovenly! holy jeez! bi Linaaaaaa .. her son is so dirty and forgiving!" arifa shouted while the sound of natural music hummed. Diana laughed out loud even her body until it was stretched out on the bed. Especially when looking at Arifa's facial expression that was previously very focused.


"It's too serious to be a girl!" diana said back who then stood beside the bed. "Remember Tea, women should only focus on 3 things. When driving a vehicle, while eating and while walking in the middle of the night alone. The rest, believe in anything in this world, but never expect it too much. Just the same God we hope and ask, so many speeches from the rest of me apologize. Good day."


Arifa gaped at the words of Diana just now. He also stood up and held his cousin's forehead with the butt of his right hand and then shook his head and clapped.


"Great, but not hot. Where did those words come from, Di?" ask Arifa who still does not believe.


"We O we, Wow! that's the improvised result of the PPKN lesson from this, Tea."


Arifa was increasingly unexpected, because all this time if she met Diana, her son was very quiet. Yes, their meeting was not for now. Previously, certainly met when there was a family event only the rest of them were busy with their respective schools.


"Ayeah, improve that lesson? New drops of horrors, Di."


"No, Teteh studied too seriously and focused the same words in the book for sure. If I did, so hate the PPKN lesson because most of the words, I just change from the mindset of capturing the lesson. But yes, really. It seems to have something to do with everyday life. Except, if the same teacher asked to answer the essay and must plek ketiplex the same in the book. I was the worst, the worst."


Diana's explanation was only responded to with one word "Oh" by Arifa because she no longer knew what to answer.


"By the way, first eat yuk Teh, laper bestie abis thought earlier at school," Diana asked as she grabbed Arifa's hand and walked towards the door.


"Yes, yes." Arifa would not want to follow her cousin who now he considers ridiculous.


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


It was late in the afternoon, Arifa fell asleep after lunch in Diana's room. The door of the room that suddenly opened, made Arifa wake up. He saw the time on the wall clock in his cousin's room had shown at 4 pm. Then he looked towards the door. A boy who was sneaking inside to pick something up.


Arifa sat on the bed and watched the boy who was none other than Zaki.


"Well Zaki?" arifa's question made Zaki surprised.


"You take Zaki's toy, Tea," Zaki replied while looking around for the toy he meant there.


Diana who heard Zaki's voice in her room was immediately aghast to sit down.


This time Zaki was surprised. He just smiled while showing his neat teeth.


"That, Tea .. toys that Zaki saw Teteh bringing home from school."


"Oh my goodness, this is a child!" Diana patted her forehead. "That's Teteh's toy, Zaki .. create a science lesson experiment."


"Eh, that's for Zaki ... Zaki asks Zaki when is her birthday. Said mom next year."


Diana and Arifa exchanged glances and laughed together. Zaki who was embarrassed also laughed.


"Eh, In. It was late afternoon, Teteh went home first. Do you have Whatsapp? here I ask!" arifa then turned on her phone screen and opened the application she meant. And so is Diana. The two exchanged numbers through barcode scans. "Later if you want to play again Teteh WA you yes," continued Arifa.


"Ashiaap up!"


Arifa was getting ready to go home.


"Zaki wants kemane? take a shower in the afternoon!" Lina's shout was heard as Zaki suddenly went outside the house.


"Threshold doang, Mom! there's Zaki nyamper, Zaki back again," said Zaki then lost sight of Lina.


"Emang really-gener tuh son ye cepet terribly ilangnye, not nyye shower even play!" lina's upset with her youngest child.


"Emang tuh Mak si Zaki" said Diana who with Arifa approached Lina in the living room.


"Eh, Arifa is very neat. Wanna go home?" ask Lina.


"Yes, Bi. It was late afternoon" replied Arifa later.


"Yes udeh, bae-bae ye ride motornye. Rame streets are so crowded at this hour. It must be stuck noh at the front crossroad" said Lina reminded Arifa.


"Yes, Bi. Arifa go home first ... Di, Teteh go home first. Goodbye."


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


Upon arrival at home, Arifa immediately took a bath. He thought Zakaria was in the room, it turned out that until he finished bathing the house was still very quiet. The time has also shown at 6 pm. Arifa rushed to turn on all the lights in her house. Before long, the sound of the car stopped.


Arifa looked out the window. It turned out that his papa had just arrived, the face of the nearly half-century-old man looked tired. Arifa immediately approached her papa by opening the door.


"Eh, Arifa ... How is the game today? lina had told Papah on Whatsapp that you were there, he said. How come you didn't tell me the same Papah?" greet Zakaria to her daughter.


"Sorry, Pah. I'm too busy seeing Haechan on Instagram, hehe .... "


"Duh, you are this ... Go to the room first, have you eaten yet?"


"Yet, Pah. Earlier overslept in Diana's room until the afternoon, understand bi Lina cook a lot of really have to keep asking to eat. I'm full of, uh keep sleeping."


Zechariah laughed at Arifa's story. "Yes, you order food through Ojol aja yes. Papah is tired if he leaves the house again, he has done a lot of work because in the office," ordered Zakaria while massaging his neck.


"Oh yes, Pah. What would Papah eat? let Rifa be the fugitive."


"Well, you have to have vegetables!" zechariah answered before leaving Arifa for his room.


"okay."


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


Socialite gangs were shuffling a small tube that they had a straw-sized hole in it. It seemed like those 10 people were gathering for an arisan.


One of them is Sinta. He joined the deg-deg-an and hoped this time he could. The majority of the gangs earn millions in one month. And that income is the result of their own hard work without the help of a husband.


Unbeknownst to Zakaria, Sinta has joined the gang since Arifa entered the academy. A luxurious lifestyle, for him, became commonplace today.


"Chuck, shake the shake. I hope I can."


"I dong jeng, I hope I."


"Hey, that's it. Let's see who gets it tonight."


A small roll of paper came out of the tube. One person took it and opened it.


"Every yes ... uh but wait! this time we eat or vacation?" asked the eccentric dressed woman with a glittering jewel on her arm.


"Vacation dong!" answer them in unison.


"Now have eaten jeng" said one of the men who was also part of them.


"OK ... ready yes, one ... two ... three! eng ing ..."
