The atmosphere of the morning before noon was not too jammed, the sun was shining with the heat, not cloudy or rain as usual. Many little children dressed in red and white look like they just came home from school with ice in their right hand
Aqila continued to look towards the road, so she remembered playing with small children who sold to finance their school, now that five years have passed, the children must have grown up she thought.
They are currently on the way to move to the house that Naufal has bought, even so Umi Sarah asks to visit often
Aqila sharpened her eyesight while looking like Rian was talking to someone
"That's Rian's not it?" Ask Naufal who is driving
"Yes, I guess" he said, turning his eyes outward and focusing again on the steering wheel
"Who's same? His girlfriend?" Aqila was a little surprised to see Rian who was as familiar as the woman, but the woman was actually impressed quite indifferent to him
"Either I have never seen Rian familiar with him in the campus" Aqila nodded in understanding, Naufal's answer did not make him satisfied enough, she had to ask her brother later because Rian had never been seen with a woman before, let alone this looking very familiar
.
The atmosphere of the lake is quite calm, the wind blows as breezy as it feels comfortable when the sun has not even fully shown its rays
"You want me to come here?" Renata asked with no expression at all, his heart was already disappointed with the man's attitude. Early in the morning the man called to ask him to meet
"Sorry" Renata looked up at Gempano who straightened his gaze on the lake water
"Your sins are too much, apologize for which one?" No matter the condition of his heart, Renata is still Renata the girl who immediately asked without caring if her current opponent was hurt
"Everything"
"Sorry, not everything, my sorry stock is almost for a part of it"
"Ren, I'm no longer joking" Gempano looked back at Renata
"You think I'm kidding? I'm serious!, you think your mistakes can just disappear after saying sorry? It's not that easy" Gempano lowered his head, he realized that his mistake was inexcusable that easily, he was a selfish man if he asked to be forgiven after the nonsense he gave Renata
"I came here to say sorry once again, but I chose my mother" Renata smiled slanted though her heart was broken hearing that, she knew what Gempano meant, meaning that Gempano chose the woman of her mother's choice
"Why don't you just call me if you just want to say that? Wasting my precious time just for bullshit men like you" Renata immediately got up from her seat, trying hard to hold back the tightness and tears that wanted to spill
"I'm sorry"
"Bullsh*t, I don't want to hear your words anymore, you ask me to be patient and wait to persuade your mother, you ask me to be patient like Aqila?"
"Heh, you can't even be like Naufal who kept his promise, you're not a responsible man after all your behavior all along"
"Luckily we are no longer together, I know God will not let me be with a man like you" after saying that, Renata left without saying a greeting, trying to run as hard as he held the weight of his chest
Gempano who was there was stunned to hear that, he realized that all this time he was wrong, he gave false hope to the girl, he said, the girl he once entertained when sad and the girl he once gave a promise
Renata's words were correct, he could not be like Naufal who kept his promise, but asked Renata to be patient waiting like Aqila. He is selfish indeed selfish, could his attitude be derived from his mother?
"AAAAKHHHH" he cried out at the lake's edge, venting a burden he could not say, his heart filled with sadness, regret, confusion and like lost direction
.
Renata drives his car at a moderate speed, he is not like a man who vent his emotions with speed, endangering his life, why would he sacrifice his life for a man of nonsense like Gempano?
He saw his cell phone, he needed to tell a story now and the right person was Aqila, because his own parents were busy with their work
Aqila had notified her of her new home address yesterday, not far from her current location
While there, Naufal picked up the phone confused, he actually wanted to tell Aqila, but his wife was watering flowers in front. The house they just occupied yesterday was a simple second-level house, but it looks beautiful and has a backyard that is wide enough for fruits
He who had just finished bathing and was preparing to leave for work this morning was distracted when he heard the voice of his wife's phone, initially he intended to call Aqila, but saw the name of the caller who was named quite strangely, he said, he became suspicious of himself and picked him up
"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum Qil, I'm at your house now"
Like the voice of the woman he thought but why named 'ata' like a man only
"Who called?" Aqila who was below turned out to have good hearing enough to hear the voice of the phone
"Name ata"
"That's Renata" said Aqila, she knew from Naufal's tone, her husband must think of a man
"Why Ata?"
"Because he said he wanted to be my strong protector, like a man. So he asked for her name to be written Ata"
Naufal shook his head, strangely "just fine"
"What did he say?"
"She said hello and said, Aqila, I'm at your house right now"
"Sir Naufal ngizinin?" Aqila asked, Naufal nodded his head
"Let's have a friend here too"
"He seems to have a problem, from a few days ago he was a bit seen hiding something" said Aqila, he helped pair Naufal's tie with a little tiptoe
"Why are those smiles?" He asked sewot, he was like laughing because he tiptoed pairing a tie
"No one, just seeing the beauty of an angel this early" Aqila lowered her head, her cheeks were definitely flushed to hear it
Naufal chuckled, it was funny to see his wife embarrassed like this
"What are you wearing?" Aqila frowned slightly confused hearing that, what's on?
"What?" Ask Naufal
"I fall in love every second when I see your face" Aqila hit Naufal's arm slowly
"Here you go to work, don't fight mulu-morning"
"It's not a fight, it's a fact"
"Yes yes already know" said Aqila did not want to talk more, because know Naufal must not stop teasing him
They went downstairs together, Aqila kissed her husband's hand and Naufal kissed the top of his wife's head, something they were used to after marriage
"Assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumussalam, be careful on the road"
