Until the End of Breath

Fardhan was still pondering over his mistake of falsely accusing Maira of cheating on him. It was the most basic word he ever said to Maira, really now he regretted his actions.
Almost five hours Maira drove her car, finally she arrived at the house of her mother and father.
" assalamualaikum" said Maira opening the door as she dragged her suitcase
" waalaikumsalaam, let's go "give mama
" how are papa and mama here ?" maira asked while kissing her mother's hand
" thank God, baby, how about you ?" ask mama
" alhamdulillah ma, eh papa where ?" ask Maira
" your father switched Mai's profession now. There must be something behind her vegetable crop behind her " said Mama
" well, it turns out that it is still productive too papa "praise Maira
" pa, Maira came" said mama
" well, your pretty son has come apparently. How are you baby ?" ask papa
" thank God, good pa. Papa is getting more handsome by "goda Maira
" hm, your son is smart to tease papa apparently ma. Especially her husband !" papa says back to tease papa
Papa's words remind Maira of Fardhan. The state of the household is not okay now. But Maira tries to pull him off, so that his parents do not suspect.
" h papa can, so embarrassed" said Maira, smilingly covering her face
" go in yuk ! it's almost afternoon, oh baby you've had lunch yet ?" ask mama
" it's ma, it was on the street " replied Maira lying
" yes you have a break first, later after the Maghrib prayer we gather" said mama
" yes ma" answered Maira and went to her room
Maira immediately laid her body on the bed. She recalled her husband, but a few moments later she fell asleep. Actually Maira has been feeling unwell in recent days, but she cleverly hid it all. Not only tired in the body, but tired of the heart is also what Maira currently feels.

Elsewhere, Aisyah is now waiting for Arfan's presence in her home. After a while of waiting, there was the sound of the mother calling out to him.
" dear, Arfan is waiting in front" said mama
" yes ma" answered Aisha
Aisyah walked behind her mother, she did not want to walk in front of her mother because she was ashamed. Arriving in the living room, Arfan was chatting with his father about the important news he had to tell Aisyah's parents.
" this is the one we are waiting for" said the father as he looked at Aisyah
" this is the Shah, son Arfan intends to kill you in two days. How, do you agree ?" ask dad
" Aisyah is up to father and mother only "Aisyah replied while looking down
" this is it, son, it was a sudden show. Mumpung nak Arfan's parents are still here and the plan is for both parents nak Arfan will return to Kalimantan after your event. You don't give the answer to my father, because everything will be lived by you with son Arfan later. So decide whether you are ready to accept it or not ? if you're ready you should look for the ring today as well " said father
" bismillahirrahmaanirrahiem, God willing Aisha ready father" answered Aisha
" thank God" said father, mother and Arfan
Father and Arfan and Aisyah continued to chat about business. Arfan works as a Manager at one of the foreign companies in this city. After satisfied chatting, Arfan invited Aisyah to go buy a ring. In accordance with his promise to Aisyah's father, the two will return soon.

The night had changed in the morning, the morning sun was difficult to begin to appear in the eastern horizon. Maira went to the balcony of her room facing east. He saw a beautiful scenery, where Ciremai mountain can be seen only in the morning. That is also when the weather is clear, if cloudy will be blocked by fog. If the day is also not visible because there may be a lot of pollution and sunlight also starts to move away from him.
Maira captured the moment with her camera phone. Then he uploaded it on one of his social media accounts with the caption "Great sunday morningπ good morning world, good morning all "
οΏΌ
After uploading her pictures on social media, Maira saved her phone back and sat pensively. The sound of knocking on the door made his daydream spread instantly.
" we have breakfast first baby, papa is waiting for you at the dinner table" said mama
" yes ma" replied Maira
Mama and Maira walked together to the dining table, sure enough there papa was waiting for the arrival of Maira and mama. Maira was sitting across from her mother, so she remembered Fardhan. Ah, that memory makes Maira's appetite go away. I want it to feel like Maira ate a plate of both back as usual, but it's all just wishful thinking for now.
" dear, eat ! Or you want to eat another so that the Uding mang find "ask mama
" no ma, no need. This is also a lot of food, if not eaten dear. Especially to the point of exhaustion, the sin of ma" said Maira
" now eat" said Mama
Maira took a bit of rice with vegetable soup and added it with sambal, as she had no taste for food.
" why take the rice a little Mai ?" ask papa
" easy pa, later if you take it again "answered Maira
Like yesterday morning, he felt bitter when the food touched his tongue. Maira had only eaten one mouthful, to be honest everything that entered her mouth right now was bitter. Even if you drink, it also feels bland. After one bribe, Maira excused to her room on the grounds of going to the toilet.
" ma, pa, Mai go to the toilet first huh" said Maira
" did you go to the toilet ? not usually " said mom
" don't know ma, the call of nature does not know time" said Maira
" mama and papa continue to yes, Mai will follow deh" said Maira
Papa and Mama just say it without suspecting a bit. Arriving at the room, Maira immediately locked her room and lay down. Really at this time he felt his head dizzy, limp as well. Maira finally chose to sleep alone even though it was still morning. Before long his phone rang indicating incoming phone call from Aisyah
π " hello assalamualaikum Syah" said Maira
π "waalaikumsalaam Mai, what are you again ?" ask Aisyah
π "i'm again lying abis breakfast Syah, what's up ? tumben morning was already on the phone" said Maira
π "I want to tell you that tomorrow I want to be at Mai Khitbah, same with Arfan" said Aisyah
π "alhamdulillah, may you smoothly Shah !" said Maira
π "yes, aamiin. Tomorrow morning you're here, Mai, you're me !" aisyah
π yes, later I accompany there. yes already, I close first yes phone I have a business for a while" said Maira
π "yes, Thank you in advance. You are the best !" aisyah
π "yes already, I closed the phone first yes. Assalamualaikum" said Maira
π "waalaikumsalaam "answer Aisyah
After the phone connection was cut off, Maira thought that she should return soon today. Because tomorrow he has to accompany Aisyah at her house. Maira will not bring the clothes he brought earlier, the clothes will be stored here for later if he returns to Sumedang he does not need to bring a change of clothes
