Love In Nestapa
Trying to forget

After Raga went inside, Abi Hendra passed from the pesantren restlessly thinking of the two people who were crashing there.

''We go home now, Raga has come in. Abi has to go back to the ummi project, you two go home with Ira huh?''

Umm Hani. ''It's not Sunday today?''

''Even Sunday still work ummi. Let's get it over with. We walk.'' Abi Hendra.

Ummi Hani and Ira nodded obediently. Ira stared at the pesantren where Raga studied.

While someone there saw the red sedan car passed he published his smile.

''I will prove it to you. If Raga likes me. Not you! Just look! In two weeks you'll see the change.'' Said the man immediately leaving Abi Hendra's car park earlier.

While in that corner, Raga clenched her hands. ''Until I die, I will not turn away from my wife! You wanna play with me? Heh! Alrighty! I'm jabanin! Let's see, who's going to fall into the abyss? Me and you? Or just you? Just look later.'' Snarled.

He also rushed into the cottage back to follow the lesson because it will be started soon.

Abi Hendra arrives at Ira's house, almost Maghrib. Arriving there, they performed Maghrib prayer first and then they decided to go home after dinner.

Ira was lonely in her room. He sighed. ''Alright Ira, your heart and your life. Don't wait for something uncertain. Throw away all memories of him. After all, if you match up with her will definitely be found back in time.''

Ira completely forgot about Raga, proved that the first week in his stay, ummi Hani no longer visited Ira.

Two weeks later, Ira also found the same thing. That ummi Hani never once visited or asked news to Mak Alisa.

Six months later, Ummi Hani suddenly called. Ummi Hani said that he and his family would return to Aceh.

Because both parents Ummi Hani had an accident. The entire Ummi Hani family including Raga came back to Aceh.

Ira just stared flatly at everything that was happening in front of her right now.

''Patience son, everything will be fine. Believe in God. God is a place of hope and depend. If you hope in man, you will be hurt. Therefore, hope only to Allah.You understand, Son?''

''Yes, Mother. Brother understands. Yes already , brother wants to continue learning again. There is still a lot of PR to prepare. I'm about to finish school Mak. Ma'am?''

''Hem, why?''

''If you can ask.'' Ira's speech stopped. He looked at Mak Alisa timidly.

''Just tell me, son, if you can for sure Mak will do.''

''Brother would.. if Brother has finished school, may not if Brother is not a boarding school with Kak Raga?''

''Hoo... is that it? Yes already. It's fine.'' Answer Ira listlessly.

Mak Alisa scrunched her forehead. ''What's up? Don't you want a pesantren with your husband? Can I know why?''

Ira, who was walking slowly, stopped her steps. He turned around and faced Mak Alisa.

''I'm not just setting my heart, Mom. If one more pesantren sister with her? When can you forget her? One pesantren means every day and every time will continue to be injured because of it.. Brother please. Please understand the condition of brother, Mak.'' pinta Ira with a clouded face.

He looked down because he saw Mak Alisa's face turned flat because he heard her speech.

''We'll see later. Is your husband allowed it or not? All decisions are in his hands. Rest up! Mak see, you are too imporse yourself to always forget about Raga!''

The deg!

Ira closed her eyes. His hands are tightly clenched. Mak Alisa knows that. ''Do you know why you always try to forget?''

''Yes. I know everything about you, son. But this is not the way. Throwing away someone we love so much in our lives takes time. Do you know what Mak is like? Mak is lucky, when there was your Papi who was always with Mak. Even though he is still studying abroad. But Mak is sure, he will definitely come back with us again. You take it easy,''

''Ragata Hariawan is not Papi Gilang Bhaskara, Mak. I know what Papi is like. Papi is different from Raga. Papi is very good. What you look for as a priest is like Papi. But not Ragata Mak. Ragata is not like that!''

''Why do you always accuse Ragata of the no-no? Remember, you are his wife. Every word you say will happen later. Want you to be like that?''

Ira closed her eyes. The clear sheet fell on his tapered cheek. ''You will not know what Ragata has been doing all this time. Mak will know, if Mak often visit the pesantren. I know all about her, Mom. Even though you are far away, you can still see it. I hope Mak understands. Brother will be patient with his behavior all this time.''

''Has he returned to this house after a long time? Has he been telling me since he was in the pesantren? Why didn't he ask me what I was like here? All of this has been proven by Mak. Even Abi and Ummi are the same. So. big brother please, Mak don't force big brother anymore.''

''This is still in the pesantren Mak. what if later he went abroad! Not closing the possibilities, right?''

''Astaghfirullah Ira..why is your thinking so far? Raga is not like that, son, he deliberately did not come home to this house, so as not to want to interfere with your learning. Because he knows, you're gonna be six months out. For six months he refrained from meeting you. Because he was afraid that something that could not happen, would happen if he had come home. Astagfirullah.. Big brother.. Very far your thoughts towards your husband.Secure son..''

Ira was stunned by Mak Alisa's words. How does he know if Raga did not come home because he refrained from meeting her? What does it mean try?

''Fine. I will try to be patient again. But if until all this happens, then do not blame brother, if one day brother changed.''

The deg!

Mak Alisa is shocked by the words of Ira her eldest daughter. ''Actually, what happened to you two? It's hard to persuade him. Hani again, why is Raga not allowed to come here anyway? What was? Why do I feel.. If you all stay away from my daughter? If so, why did your son want to marry my daughter and promise to make her happy? Astagfirullah...''
