THE THOUSAND-MOUTHED BROTHER-IN-LAW
47.

In the afternoon I cleaned myself, in a hotel room.

With my daughter Khumaira, I decided to fight on my own.

I put Khumairah on the ground floor with a soft carpet in the room I was in.

Curse the phone on the mattress, then see the savings balance through the m-banking application.

'Lumayan, if you make a business, try Lika's phone first, who knows there are contracts that will be rented at low prices.'

I muttered to myself, the possibility of Khumairah who did not understand also heard it.

Tuttts... Tutt's... Tutt's....

[Allen.].

[Waalaikum sallam Lika? Sorry to bother you?]

[Not what? Sorry, I was working again. Oh yes tumben your phone entered many times, what is it?] Lika asked about the weirdness I showed.

[Slightly, I need help. Can you help me, right?] My words are not good.

[What the hell are you! You know, if I could, I would help.] Said firmly.

[But I want to, let's talk about this, in person, can we?]

There was no reply from Lika, after I said so.

[Rica.]

[Ah yes, Tyas. Where are you, anyway? You're not in Riau, are you?] Maybe he was confused about my whereabouts.

[I've been at my late-in-law's house for two weeks. Now I'm at the xxx hotel not far from your house.]

[Innalilahi wa innailaihi Raji. I'm sorry Yas, well if there's something you want to talk about, I'll pick you up, okay? But what about your husband?]

[I'm not with my husband, come quickly, I'll explain.]

[Yes, I was waiting for you.]

The phone was switched off, and I laid my body near Khumairah who was playing.

Thinking about how God arranged a scenario about my destiny.

Thirty minutes I waited, Lika was already knocking on my room door.

"Hi, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you ran away from your husband's house!" He said after entering my room.

I nodded my head with my hands folded in front of my chest.

"Tyz... Tyas. You have never changed. Always go whenever there is a problem. Please, your stubbornness is your selection again. Problems will not be solved, if you avoid them."

I just kept quiet, listening to his chatter. He is a friend who is always there whenever I am in trouble.

"Let's just eat outside. All right, I asked you the same question about rented houses."

After speaking he approached the khumairah, then carried it and played around teasing it.

We sat in our favorite cafe during High School. It's just that the place is more updated.

Throughout the dinner, we put my problems aside first, and enjoyed moments that were not necessarily doable as often as possible. Because they already have their own families, and living places that are far apart.

From the distance of some of the tables where we ate, I saw a man who stole a glance at our table. But I don't really care about it. Because every time I saw her, she refocused on talking to her friend, and turned her face away.

Jokes, as well as laughter and jokes we do. Khumairah's silly behavior also triggers many cafe customers to pinch, and hold a passion.

Until the time of passion act like greeting someone by waving his hand.

"Content... Nda, oom it's oom." With his hands constantly waving towards the other customer's table. More to the table of a man who seemed to notice us.

Spontaneous me and Lika were directly staring towards the excited gaze. Again the man turned his face away. I kept looking at his back that was against us. I watched for a long time, he did not turn his face away. His friend told him too.

I fixedly looked at the face of his friend, instantly I immediately turned my face to look at Lika.

"They! Not the person on the desk we saw earlier, one of them is Roy Alfi's friend."

Lika who heard my words directly looked at the man's face. Then back to looking at me.

"Yes! You're right."

"Or don't-don't...." Say us at the same time.

We just realized that the passion wasn't on the side, I turned my face towards Roy's desk. And it turned out that Khumairah was already in the lap of a man who turned his back on us.

I walked over to the table, intending to take my daughter.

"Khumashairah... Here say__" I stopped, when I saw the man who was holding my daughter.

"Hi...." Said the man looking at me. I turned my gaze to my little daughter who was in her lap.

"Here baby." I carry khumarah.

"How are you." Say the man back, then,. Still with his eyes.

"Yes... Thank goodness, as you see." Say it with flat sentences.

"He's adorable? It's so pretty." The man praised my daughter. I don't know why I feel ashamed in front of him. Because he spoke with his eyes sharp looking at me.

I just smiled, responding to her words.

"Sorry huh? I'll go back first."

"Yes. Can't join you guys." Roy tried to melt the atmosphere.

"Emmm... But I'll be back soon." I avoided Roy.

"All right? Say hello to your husband."

I heard Alfie's words.

'titip greetings, why do I convey greetings from the former who have been in mas said. But wait! Maybe they already know each other. But since when?' I speak in my heart.

I stepped away from Alfie.

"Yes, don't forget to give my message to your husband. I'll wait for you at the usual place tonight."

Degs....

My heart feels pulsating, how can they know each other.

I turned my steps, back towards Alfie.

"What does that mean! You know him!"

Alfi laughed obliquely and crossed one leg over the other to become his pedestal.

"Who does not know Said! Even the area where your parents live. He who rules. I think overseas, he's also a person that many people know."

Alfie's words really made me feel like I was given a surprise. It's just that surprise is like a heavy burden that's overflowing my body.

"No need to beat around the bush. Say it! What do you mean." My words were flat in his eyes, and so was he who looked at me deeply.

"I can answer that. Just so you explain, why did you leave me so easily without saying goodbye! Even because of you, I ruined myself! You leave, then go home with the status of being a fiancee. Then go again, and fail with your marriage. But you came home turned out to have been betrothed back to the man who is now your husband. You didn't even give me a chance to explain the misunderstanding. Five years of our relationship. Just you avoid a misunderstanding." What a calm Alfi said. But I have to leave now, the other cafe visitors have been whispering to see the behavior of the two of us.

I came out of the cafe, without answering any of Alfi's words.

All along the way I just kept quiet, not talking at all. And so is Lika. I should have met Lika wanted to tell my household story, because she was one of my best advisers. But Mala had to meet with Alfi who had long since disappeared from my mind.

But because of him, I came back to think, how can mas said know with Alfi.

"You don't want me to?" Said Lika after arriving at a hotel.

"No. Thank you for taking your time. Oh yeah don't forget to tell me tomorrow about the contract you said it was."

He just nodded, hugged, then gently stroked my back.

After he left, I went into the room I was in. As my eyes began to close, someone knocked on my bedroom door very hard.

I opened the door and saw someone standing at the door of the room with my back.

He turned.

"If you want to know where your husband is, come to this address. He's waiting for me."
