THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 55


Dira anchored his body in the bamboo chair of Naura's house. He chose to leave Mr. Rohim's house instead of letting his pain outweigh. His legs were folded parallel by his chin.


The night sky looks beautiful. He also looked towards the expanse of rice fields that were visible because of the lighting. Again there was a desire he wanted to walk in the middle of the rice field. But some of his little heart was afraid that something might happen. He has to hold on. In order to prove that the man she saw was indeed her husband not Sandi as they saw him.


"If I was a kid I used to love looking at the night sky. The star's father said it was a collection of angels watching the actions of his people." A cloud suddenly appeared sitting next to Dira.


"Not angels have their own duties. Not able to get together. So it's not necessarily an angel. It could be a star." replied Dira


"If I get a story as a child so, non." replied Awan while opening some snacks he bought around the house of Sandi earlier.


"How come you didn't bring Jimmy?"


"Jimmy and Naura stayed at her in-laws' place. But weird, huh? if they're husband and wife why doesn't he call the guy mas or something. Just call Sandi. Her mother's part is strange, if not yet muhrim let stay."


Dira walks out of Naura's house. The clouds are chasing his boss. Afraid that if anything happens, he'll get his gum. They walked around the rice fields around the countryside.


"I know, non. If the man who said non Dira husband is Sandi, her husband Naura. But I'll help non Dira to prove that it's not Password."


"How?"


"There will be a time when everything can be proven non. Non-Dira just be patient."


Dira returned a gaze towards her ops assistant. He was hoping that the man would help him, but he just wanted to say that.


"So right now you want to help me, Awan. Because it's my household. At least my status is clear. And if he's not my husband, I'm ready to accept the fact that my status is now a dead widow."


"So what's the plan?"


"Find the real password!"


The clouds glanced at Dira. The woman who had been grim now looked cheerful. Maybe because she met her husband. Or something else he doesn't know.


"Non rest, yeah. It's night." It's night." The clouds let Dira in.


"Where am I confused? it's not good to go to Naura's room. Where do you sleep?"


"I sleep in the living room. The important non Dira break in the room." The clouds lead Dira in Jimmy's room.


"Thank you, wan."


"Together, non. It's my job.save rest." The clouds leave Dira in Jimmy's room. The woman could not close her eyes. Looking at the perfectly rounded moon.


Dira looked up at Jimmy's room. There are toys resembling stars. If the light is turned off, it will become its own light. His smile expanded as if forgetting what he had just experienced.

Azan dawn reverberating. Dira rose to fulfill his duty as a Muslim. Nature begins to humble by glorifying the greatness of God. The dawn struck him with astonishment at the greatness of the name of God. Since he woke up from his coma, Dira always waited for dawn to arrive, in the hope that someone would appear at the door of the house, welcome him, say good morning. Even though he knew it was impossible.


On the eastern horizon, the sky is splashing red. Dawn slowly dawned, the sound of birds chirping sounded, indicating it was already noon. A few moments later his body rose. There was pain in his chest, it seemed that he was still in the same place. The place where the person she believes in is her husband. His name is Sandi, but Dira feels it's not Sandi. Except Arjuna. His feelings are usually never wrong. And hopefully that's not wrong. If it was her husband and she already had a wife, Dira had arranged a divorce with Juna.


You know, Mas. Every time I open my eyes I always wish you were still here. Still welcoming the morning with all your attention. In the morning, we are always nauseous. I miss that time, Mom. I miss seeing you as fast as I am.


After dawn prayers Dira was still staring at the sky. In the window wide so that it can breathe fresh air.


Leaving Dira's room walking towards the kitchen. Checking ingredients for cooking. He knew that only himself and the Clouds were in the house. Dira searched for the Clouds and did not find the man in the room or in the living room.


Dira ran to the room to hear her dress ringing. His smile expanded as he knew who was contacting him.


"Assalamualaikum, ma."


"Waalaikumsalam, son. Thank God, son, you can hear your voice again. You couldn't be contacted last night. Mama thinks something happened to you. Thank God you're okay."


"Yes, sorry, ma. Dira Lowbat's phone last night. Pas until Dira invited to walk the same that has a house. The night has just taken a break." said Dira.


"Yes, my mother heard you were okay Alhamdulillah. Mama's worried all night you can't call. Where are you staying?"


"At the house of bi Inah ma's nephew."


"Ra, I transferred money to the same thank you sign that has a house. You see your ATM is in the room."


"yeah, ma. Oh, my God, I haven't checked my wallet. Thanks, ma. Dira apologizes for bothering mama again."


"Son. My mom never felt in the report. You're mama's son, so naturally dong mama pay attention to the three of you. Have you prayed?"


"Already, ma. This Dira is in the kitchen cooking. Naura's sister is at her in-laws' place there. Her husband was sick and taken to his parents' house. Is it possible because there's Dira and Awan that they moved her husband."


"Yes, son. Mama's going to Rian's. Want to talk to your papa to come to the Ferry wedding. Last night Feri agreed to accept your papa to come to her wedding. That's it, Feri considers as a guest not a family."


"Yes Allah Brother Ferries. Still stubborn. Ma, it's been a while, yeah. Dira wants to cook. Pity later that has a house comes nothing." Dira hung up.


"Assalamualaikum, ma."


"Waalaikumsalam, Son. Anyway, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't be weird in people's places. Understand!"


"Understood, ma. Bye mama."


Dira then hung up the phone and returned to the kitchen. Prepare breakfast for the home. From cooking rice because there is no magic com. Make soup for Jimmy and also seasoned fried fish.


Dira stopped for a moment. Seasoning fried fish is the cuisine that makes Juna greedy.


"Do I have to cook this?" inner Dira.


After finishing cooking Dira stood in front of the door of the house. The net turned to a photo that was clearly displayed on the wall of the living room. Dira took the photo and hugged it.


After releasing the miss on the photo. Dira re-installed in place all.


"Tante," Jimmy's voice was carefree.


"Hey, Jimmy you're home. Have not had a shower yet. Auntie's got Jimmy's school dress ready."


"Thank you Auntie, Jimmy's had a bath at Grandpa's. Jimmy's school at 10, Aunt."


"Where is your mother?"


"That's ..." Naura was chatting with Sandi who was still sitting on the bike.


"Mas introduce this to Dira. The employer's inah." Naura comes to introduce Dira to Sandi.


The cold atmosphere in Naura's house felt so warm. Although cold air actually ambushed the village. His breath that began to ambush his chest, found a figure that was unexpectedly standing before his eyes. Not only Dira felt it, the man before her felt it the same way. The heart feels so tight.


Why does she seem so familiar to me. Who her? why my heart beats so hard.


"Ehmmm.." Deheman Naura made both of them realize. Especially the hands of those who have not yet gone.


Both are in the same room, there is no expression of them. Mutually silent, staring at each other, the atmosphere looked tense.
