The morning sun slowly began to rise to the throne. Refract a tinge of golden yellow at the end of the horizon. The breeze whispered warmly, awakening the souls of men all night awake.
"Geez!!!"
Dinda's voice sounded shrill with her body slightly aghast when she saw her body lying on a stretch of white sand. Right in front of his eyes lay the open ocean with the blue water that is so contrasting with the color of the sky.
"It felt like last night I was on a cliff, but why is this suddenly on the beach?"
Dinda monologues softly while trying to remember what happened last night. He remembered very well that last night he was on a cliff with his master. But he was astonished because suddenly when he woke up, his body was on the beach. He moved his eyes around. Until the look of his eyes was stopped on the figure of a man who looks busy himself.
"Mr Erlan!"
Dinda got up from her position. Spring, the woman's footsteps swung to get closer to Erlan. Until now he was standing behind the back of the master.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Erlan who knew Dinda's presence, slightly turned back. The man just smiled.
"You're awake? Come here, eat this!"
Erlan said while thrusting a small bamboo where there are already grilled fish there. This is exactly what makes Dinda more astonished.
"Master burned fish? How come?"
"could certainly. There's fish, there's tree branches there's fire so what else can't?" Erlan again thrust the grilled fish towards Dinda. "Eat, it's still warm. Although not seasoned, I'm sure this fish is already very savory."
Feeling his stomach rumbling, Dinda received the grilled fish given by Erlan. From the smell alone it is very appetizing. Without further ado, Dinda began to enjoy this grilled fish dish.
"Hmmmmmm right, this fish tastes so savory even though it is not seasoned. It's really good, sir."
Erlan smiled meaningfully. Just this time he met a woman who was what she was. Not jaim and can express what is felt without being made up.
"If it's good, you can eat everything I've burned. Count so you don't starve."
Not much different from Dinda, Erlan also ate grilled fish in his hands. What a wonderful and unexpected holiday sensation, can enjoy grilled fish on the beach like this. Especially in the morning, where the sunrise can also be enjoyed.
"But sir, why are we on the beach? Weren't we on the cliff last night?"
"You slept all night. Therefore I carry you to get down here. I happened to meet some fishermen who went home to sea. I bought the fish they caught and I borrowed the mat. That's the mat you use for the bed."
Dinda looked back at the place where she had fallen asleep. Sure enough, there's a mat there. But somehow the story he could move in a stretch of beach sand.
"Oh my goodness, sir carried me? Why don't you just wake me up?"
Erlan raised her shoulders while biting the grilled fish in hand. "I've woken up so many times, but your sleep is exactly like a fainting person. So don't wake up at all."
Dinda smiled clumsily while scratching her non-itchy nape. Either from drowsiness or fatigue, to the point that he does not wake up.
"Hehehe sorry sir."
"Hehem, no problem."
"Sir, are you okay?" tanya Dinda tried to open the chat. He really did not think to see the face of Erlan who looked mediocre after being cheated on by his wife.
"Yes, I'm fine. What should I do? Should I cry terjugu? Gotta rage? Should we mourn fate? Didn't you?" erlan asked back.
Erlan was lying softly. But somehow it feels so slashing when you hear the laughter.
"I don't deserve my tears for a traitor. So why am I crying? My chest does feel so tight, but no matter how hard it is I will not let a single tear fall from my eyelids. Jenica doesn't deserve me to cry."
Erlan tried to stay firm even though her voice sounded a little quivering. This is what makes Dinda feel so sorry. A man who should still live the good times as a newlywed, but the opposite happens.
"Please sir, I believe God has a much better plan than this. I just believe there'll be a rainbow after it rains."
Erlan nodded slowly. "Yes, I believe in that too. Will you be home this afternoon?"
"Yes sir, I'm authorized to go home first. I was really worried about my husband and my in-laws. For a few days they could not be contacted."
"In advance what happened, to the extent that they could not be contacted?"
"Oh sir, I feel like nothing has happened. The last time I contacted them was when I sent them three hundred thousand."
Erlan tried to digest what Dinda said. Indeed, he felt a little strange with the attitude of the husband and in-laws of this household assistant. Because for him, they only use Dinda.
"Yes, you don't have to think about it anymore. After arriving in your hometown, surely you will soon know what really happened."
"Yes Sir. Thank you so much for giving me time off."
Both are back in silence. Enjoy grilled fish that indulge the tongue accompanied by the breeze of the beach and the gentle waves that feel so soothing to the soul. And also thin clouds that form cotton webs that seem to be a beautiful sight on the rug of nature.

"Waaaah Mama is so beautiful. Today Mama is getting married to Bayu?"
Cantika, the little girl was endlessly praising the mama who looked so graceful with a bone white kebaya. Thin makeup on her face also emphasizes her beauty. Moreover, the smile that had just now seemed to make the beauty of the woman increase many times.
Maya smiled as she nodded her head. "Yes Dear. Soon Bayu will be Cantika's father. Is Cantika happy?"
"Of course Mama, Cantika is very happy. Because after that om Bayu can stay with us."
"That's for sure, dear. And after Mama and om Bayu get married, don't forget Cantika calls om Bayu with the name papa, okay?"
"Okay Mama!"
"Yes now Cantika back to the front huh. Accompany om Bayu there."
The little girl's footsteps swung out of the mother's private room. Maya looked back at the image of her face reflected in the glass.
"Finally after all this time I'm going to be married again. God was very good to me because he had met me with a man like Bayu mas. I promise this is my last marriage."
Maya monologue lirih. He did not realize that in the doorway was already standing the mother who also smiled to see her daughter.
"May, who will marry you to Bayu is present. Let's go out to do the procession of ijab-qobul!"
