The Fading Love
Nightmares

"Daddy...." Zidan turned on the lights in the living room of his house

"Aska.. papah come home son, Aska. papah bring toys for Aska" Paper Bag contains the latest toy car Zidan put on the table, he stepped in search of his son and wife, he, usually Inayah was waiting for him in the living room, but this time Inayah was not there.

For one week Zidan always went home with Inayah, an empty and empty house, there was no life in the house nuanced White bone. Usually also the aroma of cooking from Inayah has pierced Indra kiss.

"Yes...." Zidan found the woman with the hair unraveling behind him, no activity that the woman did, only the sound of a knife that seemed to be pressed firmly on the cutting board, also the sound of boiling water on the pot was ignored Inayah.

"Yes .. That's you dear.." The more Zidan stepped closer, the stronger the sound from the blade movement was pressed.

"Ask where Aya..." Zidan looks for the whereabouts of his son, usually Aska poking with a scared face behind a table or refrigerator, but the little round-eyed man is nowhere to be seen.

"why don't you ask Aska, do you care about him?" ask Inayah in a flat voice

"i'm Inayah's father, I care about my son" Inayah's laughter rang out, Inayah laughed out loud as she kept her back to Zidan. Zidan looked confused.

"Since when have you acknowledged him as Zidan's son? a heum? since when are you looking

My ask Zidan? since when did you bring my son Aska a toy? don't you not think of Aska as your son, Zidan?"

Zidan's gaze was diverted to the boiling water in the pot "Yes, the water is boiling" Zidan's hand that wanted to touch his wife's shoulder stopped because Inayah's voice sounded heavy.

"why are you doing this Zidan, why would you betray me? why zidan?" Zidan shook his head, though,

"Don't come any closer!" tell Inayah in a high voice, as if Zidan wants to approach her.

"Yes.." called Zidan softly, Inayah turned to look at Zidan, Zidan immediately retreated as Inayah with a hostile face pointed a knife at him.

"why retreat Zidan? you're scared of this knife"

"honey, don't mess with the knife, it's dangerous, you can get hurt"

"THIS BLADE WILL NOT BE COMPARABLE TO THE PAIN YOU GAVE ZIDAN!" Inayah pointed the sharp blade towards her wrist.

"DOR!!!" sweat splashed on Zidan's frightened face, the man's chest went up and down and set his breath, his irises moved to the right and left, he touched his chest that was rumbling violently. He felt an empty mattress beside him, a mattress that is usually occupied by Inayah.

Zidan rubbed his face rough, the phone ringing over Nakas woke Zidan from his nightmares.

Zidan clucked in annoyance when he saw the name on his phone screen.

"why?" ask Zidan flat.

"WHERE ARE YOU, GO HOME NOW!" Zidan turned off his phone and he threw it in any direction.

The quarrel with Karina continued as long as she and Inayah had officially divorced. Zidan who usually just kept quiet when Karina nagged, for now Zidan can not be silent anymore, he will do the same to Karina, he said, that was also one of the reasons why Zidan would rather sleep in his empty house than sleep with Karina, who continued to engage in endless quarrels.

When Zidan returned home with Karina, Zidan often slept alone in his house with Inayah.

"Yes.." No one slept beside him, no shady-eyed woman would directly hug him if he had a bad dream. Zidan covered his face, long time he was in that position while imagining there Inayah who hugged him.

Inayah POVs

Both my parents looked at me full of question marks, surely they were surprised because I suddenly came home with my son. It's been my second day and Aska's at my mama's house, I have nothing to say and just say that Aska and I are just on vacation, but it seems they can't be lied to anymore, the premonition of parents is never wrong especially mother, as well as my mother, since mamah always scolded me with all the questions, where my husband, why I came home suddenly, why I came home suddenly, why didn't Zidan drive, did Zidan and I have a fight, ouch, andia mamah I know that now this child has no husband anymore.

"So you want to keep quiet, Inayah?" I saw my lips were nervous, my eyeballs were rotating in every direction, not daring to look at my parents' faces in front.

"Daddy's heavy voice made me want to not raise my head.

"where is Zidan?"

"pa-pah ma-maah, I-actually.." My heart raced faster, I was nervous freaked out, I didn't know where to start, I didn't know where to start, did I just tell you right now that I'm not married anymore, or did I say that Zidan and I are divorced, my head feels like it's going to break.

"se-actually aa-Aya.." I ventured to look at them again, my hands clinging to each other, when I looked into my parents' faces, I could not hold back my tears. My mother's face changed, she moved to sit next to me and embrace me.

I cried hysterically, I squeezed the back of my mamah clothes, I spilled my sadness in my mama's arms, my papah moved to my right side, gently rubbed my head, the warmth I miss so much.

"Yes it is not the same zidan anymore mah.." said I lirih, immediately swiping my mamah hand on my back stopped.

"Yes, we've split with Zidan mah..."

"zi-Zidan.... Zidan.." my mother let go of his embrace, she looked at me with a different look again.

"what are you saying Aya, don't joke, you guys fight?" I can only shake with my head back.

"Yes, no lie, Zidan cheated, for years Aya played Zidan and her family" I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, I held my mother's hand and placed it on my lap.

"mah" I turned towards my papah.

"pah"

"Yes divorced from Zidan" my parents were shocked to hear that crazy thing coming out of my mouth.

Flowing the story of my divorce with Zidan, starting from our quarrel while pregnant, then Zidan who vent his anger by sleeping with his best friend to get pregnant and ended with Zidan betrayal for many years. I also told you how the Zidan family never thought I existed, never accepted me as their daughter-in-law, I was alienated Zidan from the outside world because of the request of his parents, even my son, he did not acknowledge his existence.

Both parents were in heavy shock, even my mother had trouble regulating her breathing.

"mama.." me and my dad panicked, thank God my mom didn't do anything.

"Yes." My soft and cold hand rubbed my cheek that looked more thin than before.

"sorry Aya, Aya is not horrified by the same mama word papah, Aya still ngeyel married to Zidan, even though the social situation of Aya with Zidan is much different.sorry Aya mah, sorry Aya pah" my mother shook her head and wiped my tears.

"don't cry son, you're not wrong baby, they're evil same mama's child, they hurt the heart of mama's child, don't criticize dear, mamah same papah will always be beside Aya"

"mom" I hugged my mama again, so did my papah, me and my mama cry, I don't know if my papah cried too, but papah no one let out his voice.
