TWENTY
SEASON TWO ~ I Want to Go Home!

Thank goodness after taking medicine and eating and resting, Mas Alif's condition was somewhat better. Even now he has returned to work and finally ignored me again. Bored, I chose to sleep in my bed. Rolling right, rolling left. Want to jump on a mattress also actually can. But I'm tired of doing that. Physical fatigue is as tired as one heart.

If you are tired of this acutely yes the choice is open HP. Checking for a moment there was an incoming message. From Brother Rio.

Hi Na! It was so bright this afternoon, right? Meet outside yuk!

The afternoon?

When I saw the time this message came in, it was three hours ago. Quickly, people are already afternoon.

Afternoon Brother. Sorry new reply🙇

Ja. It's nothin. This afternoon is free?

Et dad! Cepet very much reply. Don't-Didn't all day people glare at his HP times huh? Wait for my message reply. Soon I awakened myself. People are so confident Na!

In this kind of situation and condition, it was extremely impossible to meet him. Moreover, this Brother Rio is the source of the problem I am facing right now!

But I also have something to tell him. Straighten something that should have been straightened from the beginning. Explain to her that I'm no longer Nala as I used to be. Things I failed to say from yesterday.

Yes Brother. Why emang?

Stylish pretentious when I already know that Kak Rio wants to meet again. Yes as a pleasantry. Let it not be too short, dense, and clear.

Go eat yuk! I will treat it!

Okay. Over where?

Abc Restaurant.

Okay Brother.

I quietly opened the door of the room, peering whether Mas Alif was on his desk or not. My smile grew when I found him not there. Maybe there is some business outside. So I took advantage of this moment to meet with Kak Rio.

I walked slowly when I left the room. Uh! If the road is rich gini is not more suspicious, huh? Later on CCTV even looks rich to maling goods.

"Ekhm!" I try to be ordinary. Apparently doing things secretly behind the husband like this makes the heart sport too. The man is not in this room. But his senses, the frightening aura of Mas Alif were still left here. It was as if he was sitting on his seat of greatness while staring intently at me. To the extent that my back could be hollowly stared at constantly.

K

the ethics of the door will open, the door will first open from the outside. It featured Mas Alif who was carrying some documents in his hands. This is me the same Mas Alif very matchmaking yes the same door? Time and time again at the door.

"Where are you going?" ask her in a cold tone.

Gluey!

I gulped my saliva rough. Bungling or honest? Lying or honest? As soon as the question kept rolling in my brain. Until Mas Alif might have been caught off guard so left me standing in the doorway, and he went back to work. His departure from my presence gave me fresh air. Immediately I took a lot of breaths after I held it for a while.

"I want to go home."

Pardon me! Pardon me! I lied to you, Mom. If honest, it will increase the length of his business. This might also be my last meeting with Brother Rio. So a little secret from Mas Alif is okay?

"Hm." It was like giving me permission to leave.

The restaurant is not far from Mas Alif. Just drive for fifteen minutes, and I've arrived in front of the restaurant. But after going inside I did not find Kak Rio at all. After I checked the message, he arrived. May I be prank again?

Where are you, brother?

Upstairs. You are the stairs, right? That's you just go up.

The stairs?

Oh I see. I climbed one by one of those stairs. Apparently this restaurant has two concepts, namely out door and in door. So who wants to see the outside atmosphere, eat while in the breeze, then this place on the top floor is the right choice. I can see from here Brother Rio was waving his hands to get my attention.

"Sorry, wait a long time."

"No. I just arrived too," he said. Though judging from his already empty plate, he must have been here a long time ago.

"Oh yes." Soon I pulled out a chair to sit on myself. Face him.

"What do you want to order?" bargained for.

"Eh, no need. I'm full of it." Yes, the chicken opor that I brought to Mas Alif at the end of it I also ate.

"Drink?"

"No need, brother."

"Come on! Nothing, just order. I'll treat it."

"Hm. Yes, yes." I finally ordered avocado juice.

After a short chat, I was ready to say the truth. Saying the things that should have been tight since the day you first met yesterday. To make a plan, I pretended to cough first. Then regulate breath and sound.

"Sister. Emm.., about your words yesterday, I want to say something." Hearing me say so made Brother Rio frown his forehead.

"Which words?" Lah. Wearing the show forget everything.

"That's the first time we met yesterday? About promise?"

"Oh that. All right, I'm gonna listen. You want to come back to accept me, right?" Duh. These people are very confident.

"No! I can't give you another brother."

"Why?!" Well that's right. His face was immediately shocked as soon as he heard my rejection.

"Are you so easy to break that promise?" added again.

"No! That's not what I meant. It's an old promise anyway, and I honestly forgot."

"Is there another man now?" Very precise question.

"I-I,"

"Yes." Yeah." Before I answered, someone suddenly replied from behind. Just so I turned my body around. My eyes were perfectly rounded when I found Mas Alif standing behind me.

"What's? You are Nala's husband? No kidding!" Rio tried to dodge the facts.

"Does my face look like I'm joking?" answer Mas Alif later.

"Nala." Brother Rio called me.

"Are you really married?" I nodded his question.

Mas Alif then grabbed my left hand and showed my fingers to Kak Rio. "It should be before approaching a woman, see first if there is a ring on her ring finger."

As if slapped with reality, Kak Rio immediately moved from his seat. Leaving me and Mas Alif both here. Mas Alif's face suddenly turned cold. His jaw was hard. With a sharp look he pulled my hand to immediately leave this restaurant.

"home." That one word came out of his mouth after pulling me up in the parking lot. After that he got in his car and then drove from in front of me.

With a giant step I followed him, approached my motorcycle and came home as he ordered.

Arriving at home I saw Mas Alif already sitting on the living room sofa. Right facing me who just came and closed the door. The romance will happen something big. I sat down on the couch and explained everything.

"Mas, I want to clear everything up. If it really is,"

"If in fact you had secretly met that man?" I haven't finished talking, he's already cut my sentence.

"Yes. But I'm going to meet him to end all this."

"Why new now? Why not yesterday?" The question was so hard on my heart. It was as if accusing me of deliberately wanting to be with Brother Rio.

"Yes because, because..."

"Because you like him both. That so?"

"MAS!!!" I stood up straight from my seat. Many times in my heart I try not to raise my voice to my husband, but what can I do? My patience is on the threshold.

"What do you mean?!! You think I deliberately cheated with him so?!!!"

"What is the romance between the two of you?!" Not losing to me, he stood up as well.

"That's not what you see! You think I'd just like to be treated? He suddenly did that. Not at my request." My tears are coming back down. Now it's bigger than usual. The wound that began to dry now re-gagged, so sore.

"Yes. It was my fault for not telling you about my ex's arrival. It was my fault for not being straightforward to him. I admit it was my fault! But don't you want to hear my explanation first?!"

"First meeting him I was still in shock. And straight away lergi. The second time I met him at the market. That's because I've been helped by thugs. At that moment, I wanted to tell her that I was married. Right before you came. And for just now. Why would I lie to you, Mom? It's because I'm afraid you're getting misunderstood and jealous. Which eventually clouded the mood. So I decided to meet him today to end it all."

I also wiped my tears that would not stop. My breath's wheezing. As if stuck in the throat. I no longer care about my explosive anger towards Mas Alif. I want him to know everything so he's satisfied.

"I explained everything. Whether you believe it or not" I said.

After that I went to my room. Take my suitcase, then pack some of my clothes and stuff. This time I really wanted to get away from him. My heart hurts too much to stay here.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go home" I replied while still packing, not caring about his whereabouts.

"Nobody can get out of this house!" He then grabbed my suitcase and took my things back out.

"Why?! Don't you trust me no more? Why am I here again?" I clasped his hand which was still holding my suitcase.

"It's our household problem. Let us alone finish. No need to involve anyone else."

"Solve what? Isn't the problem over? Isn't this all done?!!"

I put my clothes back in my suitcase. Foolish with clothes that are tangled because I put origin. What matters is that I'm out of here.

"OK if that's it. Now what do you want?" He asked once again.

"Aren't I already bilanh? I WANT TO GO HOME!!! I want to meet my mom and my dad, I want to sleep in my room, I want to be there. It's not here that makes me sick!" My chest deflated after saying everything. Not ruled, my mouth just talks without me brake. But let it be, I just want to go home now. No matter what he thinks.

"Well if it wants you." He pulled my suitcase out. I followed him who apparently walked back to the car, then put my suitcase into the trunk. Looks like he's taking me.

During the trip only the sound of the radio accompanied. I was busy riding the outer streets that currently seemed much more interesting. While Mas Alif certainly focused on driving. The silence between us lasts a long time. Until this car we drive through the city park area, a place full of memories. So remember a few days ago when I was still joking, joking, even chasing in this park with Mas Alif. Beautiful memories that will never happen again. Just imagining it makes me cry again.

In silence my tears rolled back down my cheeks. The thoughts of the good memories that were twisted, then this matter, and then pacing what would happen next between me and Mas Alif, all revolved into one in my brain. Knowing I was crying, one hand Mas Alif gave a tissue from the dashboard. I took it because I needed it. My hijab has been wet to wipe away my tears that have been passed a lot.

In silence, the radio from earlier presented a variety of music suddenly played the sweetest farewell song from Lovarian.

Make this

The sweetest farewell

The beautiful in your life

All the Time

It's all over

Without revenge in the heart

Forgive all my faults

Which might hurt you

I don't know why, this song was deliberately presented to us. Feeling insinuated, I immediately turned to the radio. I can't believe that Mas Alif thought so. So the hands of both of us accidentally collided.

"Ekhm!" I immediately turned off the radio, along with the hand of Mas Alif who was back at the wheel.

A few minutes later Mas Alif's car arrived at the gate of my parents' house. Before I got out, the words from Mas Alif made me stop opening the car door.

"Maybe true, we need time alone to introspect each other."

"Hmm" I answered and continued my hand to open the door. Then step into the trunk to get my suitcase out. My eyes looked at Mas Alif's car which slowly left the residential area until it disappeared from my sight.

I breathe out slowly. To strengthen myself that the step I took was right. After that I stepped in. My brain also didn't stop thinking about finding the right alibi so my mom and dad wouldn't worry.
