Trapped With The Jelita
Regretting

The cemetery that was so crowded by the mourners became quiet, too, leaving only two human children who should be happy just got married but instead became destitute because of the sad news that came unexpectedly.

The fragrance of the flowers on the top of the tomb with the new tomb board was so fragrant exposed to the afternoon breeze that looked cloudy.

The man in the black shirt looked so hurt at the passing of the man he loved and respected so much, the man who when he was little always taught him new things and guided him to be a good man to anyone has now gone forever to leave himself and his mother.

Now there is no longer a man where he asks when he is in trouble facing the demands of work, no more men who accompany him jokingly tease their beloved woman both.

"Gue's sorry."

Ralen, who was crouching in front of the still-wet tomb, turned her gaze to the husband who was talking without turning her head.

The gaze of the man beside her remained fixed on the tombstone she had been holding so tightly.

"Gue regrets this marriage."

The deg!

It was like a lightning strike in the afternoon that knocked down a big tree when Ralen heard a line of regret about the marriage that had occurred.

The woman who was currently wearing Zara's clothes was staring in disbelief at what her ears had just heard.

"If there were no marriage today maybe my Papa would still be here, I wouldn't have to be here, my Mama would still see my Papa's face." Ipul said quietly but remained very painful for the woman who was now frozen without a word.

"The mistake I regret the most is meeting Lo, should that first meeting also the last meeting no longer need we meet many times, I regret everything that happened between us, I regret!"

The sound of the Ipul is firm yet there is vibration in every one of its stanzas, regretting all that was already outlined by God for him but he did not think it was as if he blamed why he had to meet a woman named Ralensi Jelita who is now his wife.

The state of silence left only the sound of leaves that were hit by the wind that was sending clouds cloudy around the cemetery.

"Gue felt trapped with Lo, stuck with the woman who turned my life dark in no time."

Satisfied with what was in his heart, the man stood up and left without saying or inviting and the woman who had become his wife was with him.

Ralen just stood up to see the man who had married this morning slowly move away and disappear behind the gate of the public cemetery, he knew the man had left him alone among the neatly lined rows of tombs.

"Sorry Ralen for making Papa leave people who love Papa" Ralen said with trembling eyes.

"If Ralen knew it would be like this, Ralen would not want to marry Papa's son," added Ralen again increasingly powerless to feel guilty, moreover, the regretful words that had been repeatedly said by her husband were still and would continue to ring in her ears.

The woman chose to remain in the public cemetery speaking on a tombstone bearing the name of the in-laws who had not even had time to congratulate her on her marriage to Saipul Gunawan.

"Where's ralen? how did you get home by yourself?" the mother whose eyes looked so swollen from crying over her husband's departure asked about the whereabouts of the daughter-in-law, the wife of her son who had just been married this morning.

"She's your wife, son, ever since you said your ijab and the witness said her life was your responsibility, you can't do anything to your own wife."

Although in this state of sadness in fact Riska still thinks about the state of her daughter-in-law, moreover, since the funeral earlier he could feel there was anger and hatred from every eye-to-eye that his son aimed for Ralen.

"What happened today is the fate of God, we can't blame anything or anyone."

Ipul stopped his steps and then without turning back he answered the words of the Mama, "all because he is Ma, if Ipul never met and knew him we would not lose Papa, Papa, Mama can still see Papa's smiling face, Ipul will still hear Papa's voice calling Mama softly and affectionately, if you know it will be this Ipul does not want to know him Ma!" ipul then walked briskly half-run towards his room leaving the woman he did not give the chance to talk to again.

Ralen's night still did not come which made Riska more anxious to decide to return to talk to her son who had been in the room, not out of the room and even missed dinner, well of course at a time like this anyone will not taste to eat anything, especially himself who lost the man he loved so much, his place shared grievances and all the stories of life they lived.

"Mom can come in?" riska asked shortly after finding out the door was unlocked.

"Masuk Ma" said Ipul from the room he was supposed to have been in with Ralen but the man instead left his own wife at the public funeral, either have returned to his home or still be there Ipul reluctant to think about it.

"Ralen hasn't been home yet Pul, it's been night," said Riska when sitting next to the child who so calmly plays a finger on the tab checking all about the company that from now on is entirely the responsibility of Saipul.

Ipul sighed and kept his tab, "she's Ma's mature woman, she also knows the address of this house, if she wants to go home she'll go home," terang Ipul pointed out that he did not care about Ralen at all.

"But as a husband you should be looking for her, it's already night and outside it's raining aren't you worried about your wife's condition?"

"He still has Ma's parents, maybe he's at his parents' house right now" Ipul said, possibly where Ralen is.

"Even though Ralen was at her parents' house you should still catch up with her, take her home to the house you live in how can you leave your wife at her parents' house and you at your parents' house, marriage is not like that Pul, everything that happens let it happen, Papa will not like to see his son become an irresponsible husband Papa will be very angry with you!" firmly Riska reminds the child not to treat a woman even more a wife.

"Tomorrow I'll pick him up," IPul broke up.

Although it felt heavy but finally chose to follow the words of his mother, although the compulsion was clearly visible from the look of his face.
