Love Stay Here
Farewell

The clock is still showing the time when the new dawn is about to break. But Sekar was no longer able to close his eyes. He remembered his words since yesterday that managed to disturb the recesses of his heart. She realized that she had sinned against her husband. He wanted to apologize and embrace the body of the man he loved in silence for a long time. But again circumstances did not allow him to do that.

She moved from the wooden cot in her room. He walked out and looked at the bodies lying on his living room mat. His house was too small and unworthy of a wealthy city person like his husband and sister-in-law. In the depths of his heart he felt saddened by his parents' struggle for the education of his children to forget their home that needed to be repaired.

Luckily, this is the dry season that rarely rains. He could not imagine if this was the rainy season. The soil in this house will be moist and sometimes release water seepage. Even sometimes moss will grow in this living room.

The girl sighed as she wanted to hug her husband's body but was blocked by the bodies of Satya and Sayid's sister-in-law. Finally, he walked to the kitchen and then went out to his bathroom to defecate and worship for the dawn prayer that would soon arrive.

"Arum, are you awake?" just now she was about to open the back door the voice of her husband calling her name.

"You're awake, Mom?" I asked Bima.

"Yes, I heard something was going on so I woke up and saw you here. Where are you going?" bima asked as she yawned.

"You go to the bathroom" he answered briefly and started walking again.

"Where is the bathroom not there?" bima asked astonished at not finding a bathroom behind the tiny house.

"That," said Sekar showed the bathroom in question using his chin.

Bima was surprised when he found a bathroom that was very far from his expedition. His body spontaneously approached the small building made of wood.

Yes, the bathroom is a narrow square wooden building. It was quite extreme for him, above the pool. Stilt buildings with wooden poles embedded in the bottom of the pond with thick wood left over from the cutting of large trees that cannot be sold.

"This is the bathroom?" bima asked in flabbergasted mode in disbelief.

"Yes." Yeah." Sekar nodded.

"Where's the toilet?" he asked again his face was still stiff not budging.

"Yes there too, there will be a hole for the chapter," Sekar's reply further made her husband a heart gymnast in the morning blind.

"Is there no toilet here?" asked Bima while walking to and fro looking for another small building but the result was nothing but a chicken coop on the other side of the backyard.

"You if you don't believe. Flood hunt even busy menghurusin tacky," grumbled Sekar annoyed and then entered into the wooden room that was without lighting. Surprisingly Sekar could see in the darkness of the bathroom.

'Will you eat human shit? Soap water to fill this pool? How can they consume fish that come from such a pond? It's repulsive. Anyway, as long as I'm here, my wife can't eat fish from the pond, ' she grumbled in her heart.

Bima who also wanted to urinate finally would not want to join the facility that he thought was far from the word decent.

He was a little worried when the bathroom was not fit to wear it slightly swayed because of the movement of his legs. He was afraid that the reot building would collapse and he fell into the pool. Moreover, the place was dark making him imagine the existence of animals slithering there.

******. ******

"Yes, Hadi I'm going home. But I saw my wife's condition first, she was in mourning I could not leave her if she was still sad, pity her," Bima said while talking to Hadi on the phone.

Bima went into his wife's room and found the girl was in the middle of fixing her room.

"Honey, I have to go home there is a little urgent business about the results of the export product exhibition at that time. Are you okay?" Bima with a heavy heart said that.

"Yes, I'm fine. Go home, I've been here too long. Leaving a job too long will make the job fall apart. I'm fine here until seven days after my father's death. My family is a lot here, after all. Go home," replied Sekar smiling at her husband.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you here any longer. I'll let you stay here until your heart improves. Call me if you want to go to Jakarta, I'll pick you up" said Bima.

His lips softly kissed the forehead of the wife who had not been in his body. His heart was heavy leaving the owner of his heart here. But he also can't leave his job for too long. Moreover, this has been a week he was in this cool village. Of course his work is getting piled up.

*****. *****

Bima and Satya will go to the sub-district city to find a bus to Jakarta. The two were escorted by Zehan Pakdhe Suraji's son and Sayid Tiwi's husband.

"Darling, I'll go first. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company for longer. If there's anything call me immediately." Hugged his wife tightly.

The weight of his heart will go. But he also must not be selfish to bring his heart along with him while his wife's family is in mourning.

"Good, baby." His wife's forehead also shed tears. His heart is fragile, however. But she also understood that her husband was not unemployed who could always accompany her.

The two hugged each other for quite a while. Anyone who saw him felt overwhelmed by the separation of the two. They get married suddenly and have to grieve on their special day. If the newlywed couple will enjoy the honeymoon, they should instead be separated by time.

"Wait me. I'll come for you" whispered Satya in Kirana's ear making the girl snort sharply at the man.

"Why am I waiting for you, you are not who I am," replied Kirana ketus although it can not be denied if now her heart is pounding.

"I'm your future husband," said Satya teasing the girl's leafy arm imitating her brother's appeal to Sekar first.

Kirana who heard that her face turned red in shame. It felt like he was hitting the handsome face of the tall, rancid man with all his might so that the man's mouth was silent and did not say anything unreasonable. But his embarrassment was greater, making him undo his intentions.

Bima and Satya leave the village where their new family lives. I don't know when they'll be back here. But they will definitely come back.

Along the way Bima grieves to have to part with his beloved wife. In contrast to Satya who continues to smile on her own considering the moment with Kirana these few days. A moment that stuck in his heart.
