THE WOMAN (END)
•44

As a cold wind blew through my skin, I stared long at the crossroads.

A path I knew so well, even so deeply imprinted in my memory.

I know very well how this road became a silent witness when the body of Rizal mas lying covered with blood.in the middle of a dark night with very heavy rain conditions, Even I could still feel the horror that happened at the time of the accident.

The motor driven by Rizal was shapeless, while a truck slipped and fell because it hit the road barrier to avoid my husband's motorbike.

But unfortunately, the incident has claimed two lives at once.

I hate to have to remember it again, a trauma that was so intense in my mind and it was really hard to just disappear.

"This place has been very effective for me!" Sandy muttered my daydream. I didn't even realize how long I was daydreaming.

"This is where I met him!" added again.

I stared at the road, I never thought Sandy would take me to this place from all the good places in our city.

Maybe for Sandy mas this road gives a beautiful impression in the past. The path that brings him to the one he loves.

But for me, this road is the most horrible place I know.

"Did Sandy like this place?" muttered

"Eitherway! I liked meeting him here, albeit accidentally, but I didn't like the situation at the time either" he explained as if trying to recall his memories.

"I don't like this place,-" My voice choked.

Sandy looked worriedly at me. And without me noticing a single tear escaped my eye.

And suddenly his burly hand clasped my body into his chest.His fingers gently rubbed my head.

"I'm sorry!" his whispers are full of regret.

I dissolve in my grief. And without realizing it, I let this body take refuge in its arms.

•••

The atmosphere became very awkward now, and was really very stiff. I didn't even dare look at Sandy. We sat next to each other in a small shop on the side of the road not far from where our car had stopped.

"This is sir drinking!" One father presented two young coconuts that had just been peeled.

"Thank you sir!' I tukasku while stirring the Coconut and hurriedly sipped it. It feels like there is a husk on my face at this time and I have to cool it.

"Tea-slows!" seems soft.

I nodded nervously.

"I'm sorry about that! I am reflex and mean nothing" he explained trying to open a chat that unfortunately even makes me reluctant to respond.

"Why did Sandy even bring me here? isn't Sandy going out on a date? it's too late" I asked without looking at him.

Sandy looked at me, though,

"How do I go, if the woman I want to date is here" he said seriously.

I was stunned to hear that answer.

"Mas Sandy don't joke" I said.

"I'm serious about tea.and again what part of my speech sounds joking?" sandy asked me with a sharp look.

"But why?" I just can't believe it.

Sandy Hadiwijaya. from any side he is the source of perfection of a man.every movement is opium.and every sentence he spoke was a mantra.

Then why should I be among the thousands of women who might be better off out there. let alone My age is older than her, and again I have a child. Our social status is clearly much different from her. I don't blame Sandy, it's just that I'm too scared and not ready to accept any of this.

"If I explain the reason, what Eyebrow tea will believe? even eyebrow tea considers my feelings a joke" he said looking disappointed.

"Mas Sandy can get a much better woman than me out there!" I stared far to the end of the road.

"I don't care.I will continue to pursue eyebrow tea until eyebrow tea will open my heart to me!" Ideally sure.

My phone shook, Sandy turned her head for a moment and turned her face away.

I raised the call in hesitating.

"Yes ma'am, it's me. What's wrong?" I was surprised when Maryam called me all of a sudden.

"Andi fight?!" I was shocked as I got up from my seat.

Sandy and I looked at each other worriedly.

"Yes ma'am, I'm there now!" sahutku panic.

"You're calm tea.we're there together" mas Sandy volunteered

"Yes" I said and headed for the car.

Along the way I can not calm down, sometimes I look at my phone for no reason. Only this time I got news if Andi fights. Even during school he was never like that.

"Calm down, Andi's a good boy.he must have had a reason to do that." Sandy tried to calm me down, she knew very well that I was the one who panicked easily.

20 Minutes passed, lucky the streets were empty today.Our car was parked in front of the school yard.

"Can I come in first?" My love left Mas Sandy.

"All right.." Soft leg.

I walked quickly towards the principal's room. I stood in the doorway, shocked by what I saw.

One of the students' parents was arguing with Miss Maryam, while Andi was just silently staring behind the two. some teachers on duty seemed to try to mediate.

"Excuse me!" tukasku.

Everyone was staring at me. I approached with a feeling of worry. The child standing next to his mother was holding his temple covered in blood. His mother whom I knew named Ms. Sarah was staring with anger at me while Andi just bowed and did not dare to look at me.

"Oh my god, son!" I approached the boy named Arfan.

"Don't hold it!!! this is all because of the actions of the mother's son. Please dong bu, his son is taught a good attitude!" The cerocos.

"Mom sarah! please calm!" sela ma'am Maryam.

"I'm sorry mom. I'm really sorry!" my sahut is full of regrets.

"Andi, why are you making Arfan hurt like this? did you teach you to be rude, son!" I asked Andi with disappointment.

Andi did not answer and just looked down not daring to talk.

"Mom can sit down for a minute!" pinta ma'am Maryam.

I stared confusedly at Miss Maryam, but Miss Maryam hinted for me to be calm.

I also sat down, but not with Ms. Sarah who still seems to not accept this incident.

"Mom, how did it all happen?" ask me curious

"Bu Eyebrow is calm. This happens maybe because of the unintentional Andi alone!" inexplicably.

"Have a son! I can't dong ma'am! my son is bleeding like this, you say accidentally? indeed, the basis of his parents brandalan aja, so his nature is also down to his son!" Sulutnya.

"SARA'S MOTHER! Please don't bring my late husband in front of Andi." I half yelled.

"Miss Maryam saw it for herself, right? not even her mother wants me wrong! it's obviously my son who's a victim!" his army won't lose.

"Mom-mom please! don't be like this in front of the kids!" lerai Miss Maryam.

"I don't want to know! I'm asking Miss Eyebrow to be responsible for all my child's medical expenses!"his door showed his son's temple which was indeed continuing to bleed.

"You don't have to worry! I'll be in charge!" sandy's voice rang out loud in the doorway.

I was shocked and immediately turned towards the entrance.

Sandy walked slowly towards us. I really can't figure out why Sandy even meddled in this problem which is clearly not his responsibility.
