The Two Hearts
ZEA WENT TO THE HOSPITAL

After knowing who the real figure of Arya is, Rahma felt a huge disappointment. However, the disappointment did not reduce his attitude toward the husband.

For days, Rahma waited for clarification from her husband over the events of the night but, Arya acted as if nothing had ever happened. Arya's attitude like that, causing Rahma now only talk as necessary. All that she did, just so as not to have a fight between her and her husband. However, over time Rahma could no longer remain silent without asking for an explanation.

"Mas, can we talk to you for a second?" rahma asked her husband.

"Yes, what's wrong, honey?" said Arya who was busy playing her HP.

"Why did the end of last month go home until morning?"

With a guiltless expression Arya replied, "Can't tell you through my chat, if that night I was overtime because the end of the month .. , Kok is still being asked again anyway! Is it wrong that work has overtime too?"

"Well, nothing is wrong ... , but why did he go home until morning? Even if it is overtime, the most stuck also until 11 or 12 pm Mas. Not until the morning either." Rahma replied affirming that her husband realized where his mistake was.

However, it turns out that Rahma's words did not make Arya realize her mistake. He was offended and angry.

"What do you mean by that! You don't trust me anymore? You want to accuse me of the no-no? Hey, I'm working to support you. I work hot, rainy weather, from morning to night I do it for you. You don't think you're tired!" Arya spoke in a high tone and sounded snapped.

Just this time Rahma got a rough talk from her husband. He really did not expect the figure of the husband he knew before, much different from what he saw now. Being too shocked by her husband's attitude, her tears involuntarily trickled down. Just this time someone snapped him. And worse yet who did that was the person he had always loved and cared for with sincerity. His lips began to feel faint to continue the conversation again. But, the curiosity in his heart was so strong. She wanted to know what caused her husband to get drunk. The question that these few days had already deeply disturbed him, made him continue the conversation.

"I don't mind you overtime. I don't want to accuse you of anything either. It's not that I don't believe in you. But, should not every problem be communicated, so that there is clarity and no misunderstanding? Didn't you teach me that?" Her tears kept dripping.

Arya just fell silent and lowered her head, not a word coming out of her mouth.

Seeing her husband still not willing to admit his mistake, Rahma then rushed into the room. He took a small piece of paper.

"Mas, I just need your honesty. In a marriage the foundation is just honesty. And I hope you can give it to me. Rahma kept looking at her husband who did not shake a word. Her patience began to run out with her husband's pretentious attitude.

"Mas, please answer honestly! Without diminishing my respect as a wife, I hope Mas doesn't lie to me, and please answer without using emotions. This is what Mas!" while showing a bill of payment karaoke room.

Arya who saw the payment receipt immediately paled her face. He felt slapped himself for trying to cover up his mistake furiously to his wife. However, his wife has accurate evidence to show that he is guilty.

"Sa- baby, I can give you an explanation about it all. Honey, please it's not what you think." Holding Rahma's hands.

"Mas, I don't need your explanation and defense. All I need is honesty. All this time I have been very respectful to you. Never once did I lie and disobey you. Is that still not enough to make you talk honestly about what you're doing behind my back!"

Aryan's lips are locked. There was not a single word he was able to utter for a bit of denial.

Rahma's cry became even more unstoppable. His disappointment further tore the heart, because there was not a single word of apology that Arya said. It makes Rahma sure, if her husband is a figure who does not want to admit the mistakes he has done.

***

After the incident that happened that night. Rahma's attitude began to change. She started to get along with whatever her husband was doing. Even being invited to speak only answers as necessary. No more hugging and kissing her husband's introduction before leaving for work. There was no welcome of warm hugs and spoiled swaddling when her husband came home from work. There is no longer a row of missed calls from Rahma, even the spam chat every time that Arya used to receive from his wife is now no more.

Arya was really lonely. His life seemed empty with a change in his wife's attitude. The work spirit began to diminish. His mind was so upset. This time, he realized that all he really needed was family, and the source of his happiness was the affection of his wife's child.

Today, Arya plans to apologize for what she did that night. He wanted to restore the family harmony that he had not felt for several days. The vivid image of his wife's sweet smile as an introduction as he left for work, the warm welcome and the spoiled attitude of his wife when welcoming his return, made him plan to go home early.

Tok, Tok, Tok, Tok,

"Assalamu'alaikum." Arya was astonished to see the atmosphere of the house so deserted.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Darling .. , Zea .. , Papa's coming home. Arya repeated her greeting, but still no one answered. After making sure there was no one in the house, Arya then took her Handphone to call his wife.

Tuout. Tuout.

"Phone connect, but not lifted. Dichat also entered, but was not read. Where the hell is this guy. Tumben damn well he's not leaving for me. Was he really mad at me and left the house? Arrrghhhhh I don't know." Arya muttered to herself while ruffling her hair.

A few minutes later, there was an incoming call from Andre.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum Mas."

"Wa'alaikum hail, Ar. Where are you now?"

"I'm at Mas' house, but I can't get in. The house is deserted and locked." While trying to open the front door.

"Can you come to the hospital right now? No share location yes." said mas Andre.

"The hospital! Who is sick?." Arya was suddenly shocked to hear Andre's words.

Tut's. Tut's. Tut's. Tut's.

"Out of his phone. I'm not done talking, I'm playing dead on that phone." Andre is alone.

***

"Hiks, Hiks." sobs Rahma who sees her beloved daughter lying weak.

"Ma..," Zea's new weak voice opened her eyes.

Hearing Zea's voice, Rahma and Andre were immediately aghast and put on a smile for Zea.

"Ma" said Zea.

"Yes dear" replied Rahma.

"Where's papa? Zea kangen." Zea's face looked very pale and her eyes were soft.

"Well, baby?

Zea nodded

"Se-papa will soon come for Zea's nemenin." replied Rahma while stroking her son's head.

Hearing the sobs of Rahma who had not stopped since, raised many questions in the minds of Andre mas over the events before Zea was sick.

"Ra, can I ask you something? But answer honestly!" said Andre.

"Yes, Mom, what do you want to ask?"

"Actually, less ethical is also Mas asking this. Because this is your family's privacy. They have no right to interfere. But, Arya is Mas's sister. If there is indeed a less fitting attitude, you better just tell Mas. Who knows in that way, Mas as the older one can also advise him. It's for Arya's sake too,

"If there's a problem, don't put it on your own. Danger, can affect mental health. Mas this is your brother too, so there is no need to hesitate for the story." said mas Andre.

Rahma's tears spilled, telling of the problems in her household a few days ago.

Andre who heard that felt very embarrassed and did not expect his sister to be able to behave like that.

"Yes, don't think about it. You focus on Zea. Arya's problem, let Mas take care. Next time Arya act again, you tell Mas straight away. The little boy is sensitive, if his parents have any problems, he can feel and eventually get sick. Remember that! andro andre.

Just finished their conversation, Arya suddenly came.

Tok, Tok, Tok

Chequelek

Arya hurriedly entered and clutched her little princess tightly. With tears and regret he said, "Father of promises, will not let

Zea and Mama were crying, feeling sad or sick. Papa promised to fix everything!"

Seeing Rahma standing beside him, Arya immediately apologized and hugged her, "forgive me Darling. Please give me a chance to fix everything."
