The Doctor's Little Wife
Episode 53
Arif entered his room after talking to his father-in-law.
As usual, the room will always call for a fragrant scent typical of Khanza's body, somehow Bi Sri made the room like it was still occupied by Khanza.
Pink Hello Kitty patterned sheets become the hallmark of Khanza's room. Arif smiled wryly when he realized his longing was getting bigger.
Arif stroked the sheets, smooth and soft, beside his bed there was a baby box for Kia to fall asleep, it was rarely used because Kia often slept with Arif on the bed.
“Until when Dear ? Until when does this miss eat away at the feelings of Mas”
“Didn't you mention to Mas, why you are never again present in Mas's dream. Mas want to hug you even if only in dream”
Arif began to sob, if he was in Khanza's room, he would show his weakness, it was not able to bear longing for someone he could not reach at all.
------------
Meanwhile.
Khanza or Laras is still on holiday in Korea. With her friends.
On campus there are so many who want to make Laras his lover, but somehow no one makes Khanza's heart shake, and most Laras do not understand he feels tied to someone but who.
After a week in Korea, now Laras and others have returned to Singapore, Laras was immediately picked up by Mahendra.
“How is the holiday ?” ask Mahendra.
“Seru dong Pa” replied Laras enthusiast“When Laras want to go there with Papa” said Laras again.
Mahendra stroked the head of Laras with anxiety “Boleh, later we go there if Papa's work is not too much”
“Janji” said Laras while sticking out her little finger at Mahendra.
“Janji” Mahendra replied by way of linking her pinky as well.
They walked towards the airport parking lot, decorated with funny stories from Laras. But from a distance someone noticed Mahendra walking alone with Laras.
But not focused on Mahendra but on a beautiful woman who is smiling very sweetly.
“Gue not wrong see right?”
“What is Khanza ?”
“Keep that Khanza, who was impeached a year ago who”
A thousand questions that were spoken on Raka's lips, astonished at the confused mix of course.
But his naked eye so clearly saw a woman who was so similar to Khanza, but who he knew Khanza was dead.
He quickly took a picture of the woman, and the time was right because the woman was staring at him, Raka hurriedly put her phone back in and left from there.
Raka drove to a fast food restaurant not far from the airport, he immediately contacted Arif's number after ordering a drink.
“Halo what is Ka” said one person across there without further ado.
“Gue see Khanza” says Raka direct.
Suddenly the atmosphere was silent but a second later Arif's voice was broken by laughter, even Raka had to keep her phone away to avoid the laughter of the people across there, and she had to keep her phone away, who managed to suppress his eardrum so that it causes pain.
“Lo if you again hallucinate do not mengebayanhin bini dong” people voice across there sounds so annoying. Damn indeed.
“Udah-already, Lo do not talk a lot just yet, maybe because Lo just got off the plane so that Lo's eyes suddenly twitched”
Tuout.
Raka immediately turned off the phone connection is very free to explain everything because Arif will not believe, and maybe he will be said to be crazy by Arif.
But soon after a knot smile managed to rise at the corner of his lips, because seeing the results of his shots earlier, lucky indeed he had photographed a woman who was so similar to Khanza.
After successfully sending the photo, it was not until 3 minutes Arif returned to call him.
“Lo get that photo from where?”
“Lo again do not know me Kan?”
“It's not an editan Lo?”
Raka even snorted in annoyance when there was no reproach for her to answer Arif's question in a hurry. Raka even pinched the base of his nose because suddenly his head suddenly dizzy.
“Eat him horrified me first” pinta Raka, trying to be patient.
“Pick !” timpal Arif again.
“So when I got off on the plane, I accidentally saw Mahendra and a person who is very similar to Khanza, Lo can see for himself in his photo, crazy men look like, really, I even forgot that Khanza has died”
Raka explained everything, nothing he left behind.
---------
Khanza did not know that there was a man who photographed him, but he did not want to bother maybe because he was so beautiful that there were men who wanted to take his picture.
For him it was commonplace he received, on campus also many men who secretly took his picture.
After putting the bag into the room, Khanza immediately entered the bathroom, soaking briefly with warm water that has been given the aroma of therapy may be able to relieve his fatigue after a long trip.
--------
Arif continued to look at the photo sent by Raka, the woman was so similar to Khanza.
“I have to go there to make sure that Raka doesn't lie”
“But how about Kia ?”.
“What reason should I tell Dad, Mama and Papa ?”
But he again thought what if he was wrong people, because according to his knowledge in this world so many people who look alike, but the photo of the woman was not only similar but Arif felt it was Khanza, he said, his wife whom he missed.
“What does all this mean Oh Allah ? Why is there a woman who is so similar to Khanza” Arif pensive for a while but her eyes did not escape the photo of the woman displayed by the mobile phone screen.
If it was Khanza, then who did he bury a year ago. I don't know if everything feels confusing.
And the photo that Arif got from Raka managed to make himself unable to sleep at night, his eyes blocked do not want to close when the clock has shown at 11 pm, it's almost midnight or it's because the sound of the vehicle has been slightly reduced, only the sound of crickets that are mutually unpretentious outside his room.
When Arif could not sleep at 01pm, a photo of a woman so similar to Khanza always flashed in his memory. Until he decided to pray tahajud, asking Allah for guidance.
I hope he gets an answer to what he just received. If indeed his wife was still alive he would be very happy, but according to Arif it was impossible, because he himself buried his wife.
