The Former Cassanova
Honest

“Adaw adaw,” strangled Deka in pain because someone grabbed his ear.

Deka turned to someone who was picking at his ears.

“Go home lo!” exciting Fery. His best friend came straight to pick up Deka's ear.

“Please lo hands, in my ears!” reply Deka.

Fery took his hand off Deka's ear.

“What the hell lo!” furious Bella while pushing Fery's body. “Don't be a slouch!"

“Hey Bule Red Hair, you don't plunge Deka!” fery's Naggle.

“What do you say? Plunged? I want to help him forget his problem!” shangkal Bella's.

Fery ignored Bella's speech because it was useless to talk to a Caucasian woman whose hobby was dugem. He has refocused on Deka.

“Mau ustaz Arif or your brother-in-law who dragged you home, huh!” snapper Fery.

“Or I brought Ririn here to see your behavior! Don't cry if Ririn to dinggalin lo!” snapping Fery again.

“Eh, no! Yes I've come home,” break up Deka finally.

“Bell. Sorry, I have to go,” Deka told Bella.

“It can't be, Bang. Who will I go home with?” whinek Bella spoiled.

“This is your friend's party ‘kan? You can go home with your friends,” concluded Deka. Then, leave Bella. Ignoring Bella who was calling her name.

Bella clenched her legs in annoyance. “Awas aja lo, Bang!” objurgation.

“Lo tuh how the hell he said it has been penitent, he said already insyaf, he said hijrah, even coming to the kayak place again!” fery's nagging when they're sitting in Deka's car.

“Soal I again dizzy,” Deka said.

“Pusing because of lo's problem?”

Deka nodded.

“Lo has the same story as Ririn?” ask Fery full of probes.

Deka.

“News, Bro! If you are honest with Ririn, your problem will be solved.”

“But did not get time. I want to tell stories, but the situation does not allow me to tell.”

“Yes already, now you go home, keep lo story all the same Ririn,” advises Fery. The one with the head nod by Deka.

“And one more suggestion, you do not be too tight with the Belek! I smell bad gelagat from him,” said Fery.

“Don't suudzon!”

“Gue ga suudzon. Just prejudiced bad doang,” kilah Fery.

“Iya, it's called suudzon, Dodol!”

“Oh, so. Cave ‘kan tofu rock,” kelit Fery.

“By the way you can come to that place. Do you know where I'm from there?” search Deka.

“Tadi Dewa called me. He said he called you ga lifted up. That's why he called me, my name is the same lo ga, yes I replied no, dong. I keep seeing the Belek status update. From the picture I know the place, and the feeling I say lo again the Belong. So yes I directly samperin lo there,” explained Fery.

Hearing Fery's explanation, Deka immediately grabbed his phone. Sure enough there were many missed calls and also some incoming messages from the Gods.

God [Alhamdulillah my wife's labor went well. Has been born safely to two beautiful daughters who are healthy walafiat. Thank you for the prayers of the whole family, brothers, friends, friends and colleagues. May our best prayers be answered by Allah SWT for all of you]

God: [Where's the gate?]

God : [Back, Bang. Abah and Mami want to stay at home]

“Gue wants to go home, Fer,” Deka said after finishing reading a message from Dewa. "I want to stay in my house" he continued.

"That's lucky I'm your samperin. If not, you can-can in-laws who dragged you home. And you're gonna get fired as a son-in-law. Where there is Pak Haji who has a mother-in-law. Haheh hahah ...."

"Yes yes. Onion!"

“Bawel also I'm right."

"Yes yes, thank you, Bro."

"If you want to say thank you, the door to my account is wide open" Fery licked.

"Let me rest, I transfer my sins to you" Deka replied, who was given a gentle fist to his arm.

"Maha." Deka laughed, and Fery laughed.

"You want me to drop off?” tawar Fery's. After their laughter was over.

“Ga please,” reject Deka.

“Oke, I'm down yeah. Lo carefully go home," said Fery while patting Deka's shoulder.

"Lo be careful too."

Deka stopped the car in front of his house as the watch in hand showed at 22. 30. Sanah opens the garage door, Deka puts his car into the garage.

“Ririn no, Well?” ask Deka after parking the car.

“There, Sir. Both of Mom's parents are here, sir,” Sanah replied.

Deka went into the house. In the living room he meets Ririn, Abah, Mami and Opi.

“Assalamualaikum,” greet Deka.

“Waalaikum greetings,” say everything.

“Nak Deka just got home?” abah asked as Deka kissed the back of her hand.

“Iya, Bah.”

“In his office close what time?” Now it's Mami's turn to ask when Deka kisses the back of her hand.

“Common Mih, office hour,” says Deka.

“Bang Deka is like a workaholic, so it could be a sultan,” timpal Opi when shaking hands with his brother-in-law.

“Neither ah Pi, normal,” Deka said.

Afterwards Deka thrust a hand at Ririn. Despite being upset, Ririn warmly welcomed a helping hand and kissed the reverence of the back of her husband's hand.

“Whooaaa. Mih, to the room, yuk!” bring Opi. After a warm family conversation between them.

“Iya, abah also already sleepy,” timpal Abah.

“Yuk, anyways worried Syad wake up,” said Mami.

“Syad is here too?” deka Lontar.

“Iya. Let Syad sleep with us,” said Mami.

Afterwards, the Ririn family walked into the guest room on the first floor. Ririn and Deka also moved to her room on the second floor.

“Udah to eat?” ririn asked flatly without looking at Deka. His feelings are still upset if he remembers the incident at the hospital this afternoon.

“Udah. I'm going to take a shower first. After the shower I will explain everything,” Deka said. He could catch the annoyed look on his wife's pretty face.

Then Deka went into the bathroom and cleaned her body. While Ririn prepared the Deka nightgown.

About fifteen minutes of Deka performing the ritual bath. After that he went out of the bathroom, then put on the pajamas that Ririn had prepared.

Ririn sat with her body leaning on the headboard, waiting for Deka. Highlight his eyes unceasingly watching Deka's movements. Her husband was seen taking something from his briefcase. A white envelope that somehow contained what. Is that the letter that Deka meant? Inner Ririn asked.

Deka sat on the edge of the bed, facing Ririn. He flashed a smile for a moment while framing Ririn's face. A beautiful face that she always misses. A beautiful face that has been making the spirit of his life, from falling apart as a sufferer of a deadly virus.

He took a slow breath before explaining everything. Strive to strengthen the heart and expand the soul.

“I'm sorry about this afternoon. I'm not donating blood to Jasmin, but I'm .... “ Deka hangs her speech.

“Neither papa. Thank God Mimin's delivery is smooth. She and the baby survived.” Ririn cut off Deka's unfinished speech.

“This.” Deka thrust out a white envelope she was holding.

“This what?” ririn asked as she received the white envelope.

“Open it, you read it yourself. That's the answer to everything you ask.” Deka paused his speech for a moment. “I'm ready with whatever decision you take later,” continued with silent intonation.

Ririn slowly opened the envelope, then took out a piece of mail from inside. He read carefully every piece of writing he did not understand at all. All he understood was that Radeka Bastian's name was written at the top of the letter. Until then he caught three words that he could understand. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Ririn's eyes widened spelling out those three words. “HIV? Brother HIV positive?”

Deka nodded weakly. “Iya, Rin's. Ii'm sorry. Hiks hiks.” Her crying broke instantly.
