A job that you like will make someone feel comfortable and happy with what they do, even if it's a simple thing.
Morning until noon, Rina is still busy in her yard. Unlike her brother-in-law who was hopeful.
"Where is Mas Hafiz? It's too late."
Runia was already well dressed, she was waiting for her husband. The appearance is very elegant. The sky blue robe and the matching hijab color made her look very beautiful.
Runia sat for a moment then stood up. No cell phone to contact her husband. He looked very worried. Often he looked at the door, then at the clock on the wall.
"How long, huh? He said briefly," he muttered. "Huft... sleepy anyway. If I don't come, what will they think."
Knock!
Knock!
"Runia… Runia…." After hearing that voice from outside, Runia was speechless.
'That's Sis Elsa's voice,' he said to himself.
"I know, you're still inside. Just go with me. Your husband won't come because he's busy playing games with his friends. If you don't believe me I have the video."
Runia tried not to believe what Elsa said.
"Yes, explain that I'm lazy to go. What is certain is that I'm really bored. Instead of going with him, I'd rather spend time with you guys. Ah ... you. Moreover, his appearance is not really."
The voice was indeed the voice of Hafiz. Runia lowered her head and remained silent.
"Runia you heard right, so now let's go. I don't want the family to misunderstand. Runia... Runia." Elsa is still called Runia. After a while feeling no answer Elsa left Runia's house.
Runia hides behind the sofa. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore. She lay on the floor crying.
"Est... sob est.... sob. I'm so disappointed and I didn't expect my husband to say something like that to his friends. I thought last night was a sincere act. However, it turned out to be all just pretend."
Runia closed her eyes as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.
*****
Seconds turn, minutes turn. Hafiz opened the door. "Runia. I'm home, are we leaving?" asked Hafiz walking. Hafiz did not answer at all.
And he walked quickly to the room, kitchen, bathroom to find his wife. His eyes scanned the room. But he did not see his wife.
"Did he leave? Did he go alone? I couldn't reach him because his cell phone was broken. Where are you Runia?" asked Hafiz.
The man looks very dilemma and wants to contact the family of
Runia. On second thought, he felt bad about contacting his wife's family.
Drttt!
Drttt!
"Father-in-law?" Hafiz received the call.
"Hello Father, Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam. Where have you been Fiz? Are you leaving? It's not good when the newlyweds and their families don't greet you. There are many relatives from Makassar and Bandung. They haven't seen Runia for a long time either."
Hearing that Hafiz was very surprised. "Hurry up. I'm waiting." A phone call is closed.
"If Runia doesn't go there where will she go?" Hafiz muttered. A confused and worried look appeared on the man's face. Hafiz returned to look for his wife, he circled the house and walked to the back garden.
All in vain he did not see his wife at all. "Where are you Runia. Runia...!" he kept calling. "What... Tristan? Huh!"
Hafiz went back into the house. He was surprised when he saw the woman was eating voraciously and sitting comfortably facing the television.
Hafiz walked fast and was very angry. He grabbed Runia's shoulder.
"Why when I called you didn't answer?! And why are you dressed like this?! The family is waiting let's go. Get ready quickly!" Hafiz's tone was very high with a look full of anger.
Especially when his wife did not respond at all. Runia only focused in front of the television screen.
"Heh...! I'm talking to you, aren't you listening?!" asked Hafiz very annoyed. "Don't be silent! Let's go the family is waiting!"
Hafiz expressed his emotions in a raised voice. Runia was silent and just cried while continuing to eat. Hafiz grabbed the snack container and threw it.
Tarr!
Runia stood up and then looked at her husband. Hafiz breathes fast. Runia walked briskly to her room without a word, then.
Bruakkk!
He slammed the door. Hafiz walked quickly to his room. "Well, it's up to you if you don't want to go to see your family. I'm actually happy. Oh ... you will definitely embarrass me in front of your family, right? You'll tell them all if it's me who doesn't want to go. Okay.. . good!" Hafiz was standing in front of Runia's door.
He put the gift in front of the door, then left it in front of Runia's room.
"Nothing has been like this. Angry for no apparent reason. How can I fall in love if in just one day he has made me boil."
Hafiz cleaned up the broken glass that had been slammed by him. After cleaning he still didn't see Runia coming out of the room. Then he took out his cell phone and typed.
[Sorry dad I can't seem to come, Runia is sick. Father. I also feel bad if I don't see my family. Especially those from far away. Can they come to the house? I will prepare it.]
The chat was sent to his in-laws.
[Well. Prepare it.]
His mother-in-law's reply. Hafiz smiled, he started to busy cooking and cleaning the house. Ordered some snacks. And, finally finished when the call to prayer maghrib.
After praying he went to Runia's room. "I invited my family to come to the house. I don't want them to mislead me. I said you were sick. I also prepared everything. So you won't do anything but meet them. Just be angry with me. But don't be angry with them. ."
Hafiz sat in the living room playing with his cellphone. It wasn't long before his family arrived. The family teased Hafiz non-stop.
"How was last night? Did you get in?"
Such strange questions go unanswered. Hafiz just smiled. He still hoped that his wife would go out to meet his family. Hafiz looked down.
"Aunty, look at Sis Runia," said the girl who led Runia.
"Oh dear, you should just rest. It's actually crowded like this," said the middle-aged woman immediately holding Runia. Hafiz glanced at his wife who was trying to smile.
Runia's face was pale, her eyes were wilted too. "Just rest, honey ... last night was too sharp to exhaustion," teased one of his family. Runia smiled briefly.
They sat down with Hafiz and said goodbye. He pondered for a moment under the dark sky.
'He didn't say anything at all. Will this marriage continue? Heh ... soon Rina's wedding. If I don't take her to Makassar, aunt will hate me even more. Hah ...!' Hafiz controlled himself and went inside his house.
He covered his feelings with a smile.
