Regret Room
News From the Village

Little gravel Seruni kicked from earlier. He's still at home, down a dusty road. There was a sense of relief and unwillingness when he returned Bima's watch earlier, because the watch that has accompanied him wherever he went. However, in order to completely cut off anything related to Bima, Seruni had to do that, returning the object to his master.

As Seruni was walking nursing the sidewalk with a sunset bouncing on the road that was still crowded with vehicles, Bima's luxury car passed slowly. Inside there is Atikah who deliberately came by taxi when to Bima's office earlier to go home with the man. Bima turned his head unconsciously, looking at Seruni who did not know that Bima saw him from inside the car.

"What do you see, Bim?" ask Atikah curious and suspicious at once.

As fast as lightning Bima turned his gaze again forward. He did not answer, making Atikah immediately dominated by jealousy when realized that Bima saw was the girl who was walking on the sidewalk.

"Who is he, Bim? You've been weird lately. It's like you're focusing on something else, too. Has he been your brain lately?" atikah again.

Bima closed her eyes, took a deep breath and looked at Atikah.

"What answer do you want to hear, Tika? I'm just tired, so much of my work these days."

"Why don't you just admit that you're thinking about another woman? You're thinking about it, aren't you? That girl called Seruni? Who's she?"

Hearing Atikah continue to search for it, Bima finally relented and stopped the speed of the car on the side of the road. There was no longer a Seruni left far behind.

"Take me, Bim!" Atikah began to roar.

"He's a village with me."

Atikah was silent for a moment.

"Is he your ex-boyfriend?" ask Atikah full of search.

Bima is confused as to what to answer. She and Seruni had never dated in the past, she and Seruni only engaged in love one night which led to the chastity of the girl in the past.

"He's not my ex-boyfriend, Tika. But I do know him because we're a village."

"But you're thinking about it!" suddenly called Atikah. Bima was shocked. Atikah has never been like this before.

"Hey, he and I just know each other, not love each other, relax."

Inevitably Bima said that, because he knew that Atikah was a desperate girl. Even after saying it, Bima's own heart seems to deny something, not love him? Bima's heart seemed to be laughing at him at this moment.

"Why did he come?" ask Atikah again.

"He did have to report because yesterday was in a fight and I handled the case." Lying again Bima. He had to do it so that Atikah would not get angry.

Finally Atikah was able to calm down after he saw Bima and then hugged the man.

"Can we go home now? Are you calm?" bima asked gently with Atikah who finally nodded.

Bima breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to bring his car drove to his lover's house. Apparently, he'll find it hard to see Seruni again tonight because Atikah will definitely keep him away.

All that while in his contract, Seruni had just arrived. Rushing he closed the window because Maghrib would soon be visited. He also rushed a bath later and performed a ritual facing the khalik. Seruni himself remains convinced of the power of prayer. Although he was despicable, but every remember the words of his teacher when he was a child, he would still establish the sacred ritual. Said his teacher, stick to the pillar of religion despite your filthy and despicable self, and the pillar of religion that Seruni understands is prayer.

When the last rakaat, Seruni heard his phone ring. So after finishing with still wearing a mukena and face that is still moist because of ablution water, Seruni grabbed her phone.

"Mr Ute?" ask Seruni to himself after all this time they did not meet. Seruni called back immediately.

"Rune?"

Seruni shook her heart to hear the voice of the woman who had considered her as her own child. A longing looms for a moment.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, this is Mak Ute."

"The world is longing, Mother." Seruni's tears began to pool in her eye pelupuk.

"Mr.o too, Run. However, there's something Mak must say to you."

"What's the matter, Mom? Why don't I feel calm?" Seruni pressed her chest.

"Run, your mother ..."

"Runi always sends money, Mommy. Really, every month Runi always sends money for him."

"Yes ... You know, Run. But that's not it, your mother ... Your mother's gone, Run. Died an hour ago."

"Oh my god ..." Seruni limp for a moment. Although the mother ignored him, but Seruni never forgot where he came from. Every month money is always sent, nice clothes he always send too. She still maintains a good relationship with her mother despite disappointing her in the past. And never did Seruni expect her mother to leave so soon.

"Rone ... Can you come home? In the last second of your mother's breath, your name is what she calls."

Seruni with tears. He pressed his chest, it had been a very long time that he had not returned to the village. During this time, mak Ute often visited Seruni's mother just to tell Seruni news. Sangking unfortunately mak Ute to Seruni, then he takes care of Seruni's mother for the girl, including saving her whenever Seruni's stepfather rude to her mother.

"I'll be home soon, Mom. I hope there's a plane ticket to leave tonight."

Mak Ute nodded at the end of the phone and Seruni turned off the phone. He immediately contacted the nightclub where he worked, that tonight he would leave for his village. The journey is quite long, if you get a plane after arriving at the airport then he will look for a train or bus to take him to the village.
