TRAPPED IN A MARRIAGE
DON'T LEAVE ME! 3

The journey from the district town where Ima attended school to Ninu's hometown only takes about 3 hours. They arrived there at around 5pm, heading straight for aunt and uncle's house.

Aunty and uncle were very surprised to get a visit from Haris which was very sudden.

After inviting in and taking a break for a while they talked.

Haris told me everything about him and Ninu who were involved in the marriage agreement. Haris also tells her who Tyara is and why she met Tyara.

Haris says that she met Tyara only to convince herself that there was no more love in her heart and now Tyara is no one else to her. That the real woman loved with all her heart was just Ninu.

At the end of the story, Haris begs everyone present to help him find Ninu and bring him back.

Of course, it surprised aunts, uncles, and Ima. They just found out the real thing, it's really unexpected.

But because until now there was no news from Ninu they could not help anything. But they promised to find and immediately notify if there is information about Ninu.

They believe what Haris says. Moreover, Haris told it with teary eyes, showing deep feelings of worry and regret.

That night Haris, Budi, and Mr. Eko stayed at aunt's house. Budi and Pak Eko sleep in the living room, while Ima sleeps with aunt.

Haris lay staring at the ceiling of the room. The quiet countryside at night. The sound of crickets and frogs was as simple as the rhythm for the sadness of his heart.

This longing was already overflowing unstoppably, flowing down every nerve, met with regret for what he had done to Ninu. That longing was then born into tears.

He, Haris, a handsome and charismatic man, wept over a village woman who left him.

Recollected all the events from the beginning met at the shoe store, then when Ninu and Agis came to the pool house, how Ninu did not dare to look at him out of fear. It was clearly Ninu's face that was smiling happily when he allowed him to take the course.

A slight smile in his heart as he imagined the ridiculous appearance of the servants that Ninu had fallen victim to while practicing the knowledge gained from the course.

All the events are real in his eyes.Their intimacy this past month. Fill the days with laughter. And what could not be lost from his memory, how the beautiful expression of Ninu's face in between his sigh when he handed over all his soul and body to Haris.

He never refused, never said rudely and never asked for anything excessive. He is very gentle and pampering.

Baby, where are you? Brother is very long.

After this, I don't know where else he'll be looking.

Before returning to the city, Haris took the time to see Ninu's house, now occupied by her aunt's greatest son.

“Later you send people to renovate this house,” Haris said to Budi.

“Iya ready bang,” replied Budi.

Before lunch time they had arrived to the boarding house Ima. Haris gives Ima some money before she says goodbye, and tells her to tell him immediately when Ninu calls.

Ima nodded her head in understanding. He felt sorry to see his sister-in-law who looked very lost.

Ninu tea, teteh where, pity bang Haris.

Hari's lethargic walk entered the mansion. Along the way home from Ninu's hometown, Haris was silent. Thought's dead-end.

I don't know where else he's going to find his wife. Everyone he knew had already been met but no one knew of Ninu's whereabouts.

Budi who saw him coming was concerned, he felt guilty for having encouraged Haris to meet Tyara.

“How's Ris?” diandra's question welcomes Haris' arrival.

“No ma,” Haris shook his head slowly, sitting himself on the sofa lethargic.

How cute you are, so much your love for him.

“We will think again how to find it,” Diandra gently stroked Haris' hand, “Now go eat and rest. You must not get sick. If you are sick how will we find your wife.”

Haris leaned his back against the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment.

“Let's go ma, I'm not hungry. I want to sleep first,” Haris rose from his seat stepped into the room.

Diandra turned his eyes to Hendrawan who could only look at Haris.

“We tell people to look for it ma, if we need to rent people,” said Hendrawan as if understanding his wife's concerns.

“Iya pa.”

It entered the 5th day of Ninu's departure but until this second there was no information about his whereabouts.

Almost every day Haris called Ima, aunty, Andre, Agis and the others just to ask if there was any updated information, but all of them answered no.

Budi and some of Hendrawan's men who helped conduct the search have not provided any information.

Every morning Haris goes for a drive only to drive around town hoping he will find Ninu on the road. He'll be back in the big house by night.

His appearance was no longer ignored. Fine hairs started growing on his forehead and above his lips, but he ignored them. There was no time to take care of such things, all he had in mind was Ninu, his wife.

He also appeared a little thin due to lack of rest and no appetite. Everyone who looked at him felt pity. So much love that he suffered.

⚘

That afternoon, Haris parked his car on the side of the road. He was pondering, which other place should he aim to find Ninu. His eyes looked blankly straight ahead.

The voice of Ashar was heard. He breathed deeply. Doldrums down from the car, crossing the road to go to the mosque there.

Performing congregational prayers, then Haris sat down alone. He prayed wholeheartedly that God would allow him to meet again and spend the rest of his life with his wife, to tears.

AHHHH.. BRUKKKK!!!

There was a sound of screams and collisions outside the mosque that was quite loud. Haris who was sitting cross-legged was flabbergasted and immediately ran outside.

Many people came and gathered by the roadside. There was a motor accident.

“What's up sir?” tanya Haris is still standing on the terrace of the mosque.

“It was a collision motor,” replied the asked fathers.

“Anyone who brought a vehicle?! Can you please take it to the hospital?!’ someone shouted from within the crowd.

“This is Kasian, this little boy!” yell at the others.

Haris immediately approached, seeing a girl maybe about 6 years old unconscious with blood soaking her temples. A woman, perhaps the mother of the child was sitting on the asphalt grimacing painfully.

“Let me pack the ones who brought to the hospital,” Haris said.

“Alhamdulillah..hey hey let's bring it here, take it!”.

“Where is the car sir?”

“That's sir across,” replied Haris walking ahead.

The boy and his mother and another man got into Haris' car, they're headed for the nearest hospital now.

⚘

Haris sat in the hospital corridor. He was waiting for a family member of the accident victim he delivered earlier.

Suddenly something ran through his mind.

Soon he called Budi.

⚘⚘⚘⚘

poor Haris, I hope he finds Ninu soon.
