Hafiz and Runia show affection in front of the family, but it's just a pretense. They are also in the same room.
Two nights together under the same roof, yet silent to each other without a word. Runia also chose to sleep on the sofa. Hafiz didn't force her and slept on the bed comfortably.
They don't talk to each other at all. Hafiz watched Runia.
'It's very comfortable for him to be silent, what really happened. I feel I did nothing wrong. He didn't say anything how do I know? Put my fault. Even though I'm already very sweet lo. I am also kind to his family. I don't know,' Hafiz cursed in his heart and closed his eyes.
Knock!
Knock!
Hafiz opened his eyes after hearing a knock on the door, Runia and Hafiz looked at each other then got up. Runia walked quickly to the door while her hair was tossed aside.
"Runia wants to borrow."
Check.
"Sorry, I want to borrow a changer," said the Aunty. Runia immediately took it with a smile.
"Why, why are there pillows and blankets on the sofa? Aren't you guys in the same bed? You don't sleep together?" asked Aunty.
Hafiz immediately got up, walked over to him, and put his hand on his wife's shoulder. "Aunt's beds, but some have been forty-eight hours. He's angry for no reason, he's silent," said Hafiz honestly. Runia didn't say anything, she just gave the changer to her friend.
"Don't be angry for long, Runia. If there is a problem, it will be resolved immediately. If you remain silent, it will prolong the problem itself," explained her Aunty.
"Listen! Are you listening...?" Hafiz felt above the clouds when the Aunty gave advice to Runia.
"You also have to listen, whatever Fiz's complaints are. The couple must introspect themselves, don't bring up each other's selfishness. Because the two couples clearly have many differences. Yes, Aunty is tired because tomorrow you will go home, you guys solve your problems. Because since Aunty came Here you guys seem to be just pretending to be intimate in front of us. Don't be like that, okay?" explained Auntynya. Runia and Hafiz just nodded in resignation.
Hafiz closed the door, Runia lowered Hafiz's hand from his shoulder roughly, Hafiz clenched his fist in exasperation. Runia returned to the sofa wearing a blanket and lay down.
"You still want to keep quiet like that?! Okay, who's afraid. Who will talk to you first? He has to give you a gift. If you keep quiet, it means you agree," said Hafiz and then lay down with a blanket.
Every now and then Hafiz peeked at his wife from the hole in the blanket. Seeing Runia who was still moving her index finger to the back of the sofa. Of course, if his wife can't sleep.
Runia wakes up, she reaches for the medicine box. Hafiz got off the bed quickly.
"I told you not to take sleeping pills!" Hafiz said preventing and snatching the bottle from Runia. Runia just glared at him, then he went back to sleep on the sofa.
"Just keep quiet! If you have to, don't look at me!" cried Hafiz annoyed and lay down on the bed. He continued to observe his wife's movements.
He saw Runia wake up and took the book. He watched his wife from under the blanket. When he realized his wife was about to turn to him, he immediately closed his eyes.
****
The morning dew had evaporated, the guests said goodbye. Runia and Hafiz accompanied the family's departure with a smile.
For a moment Hafiz looked at his wife. Face still wrinkled, Hafiz refused to invite Runia to talk. Hafiz immediately went to the construction site after that.
*****
Time passed very fast. Hafiz didn't come home. He also didn't tell his wife. Runia tried to act normal even though her heart was very sore.
Feeling still angry but she still waited for her husband to come home. He waited in the dining room. Then walk to the TV room. Her husband still didn't come.
****
Hafiz has not been home for two days. I don't know where he's hiding. Hafiz returned home clean. New clothes and cooler haircuts.
He walked into the kitchen he didn't see his wife. Hafiz called him while walking to Runia's room.
"Runia...." Hafiz opened the bedroom door. Our room was very clean. He walked briskly to his own room but still didn't see Runia.
Hafiz surrounds every corner of his house. He stopped when he saw Runia lying on the prayer table and still wearing her mukena.
He felt hurt inside when he saw Runia. "Runia ... Runia ...." Hafiz called while shrugging his wife's shoulders.
"You're home, Mas," answered Runia in a weak voice with a pale face.
Hafiz immediately carried his wife. This man brought Runia to the room. Hafiz immediately took off his wife's mukena. Panicked and confused he immediately took warm water to compress his wife's forehead.
"I don't know why you're angry with me for what. Because you don't talk at all. Don't be like this Runia. As for me not coming home, it's because I was deliberately working late. I've contacted you on the cellphone I gave you. I think you've read it. Because during overtime I don't look at my cellphone at all. I deliberately work and don't go home, so I can take you on a honeymoon in Makassar, attending Rina's wedding which is less than two days away. Runia ...."
Hafiz looks very sorry for his actions. He wept on the back of his wife's hand which was weak and helpless. Hafiz immediately got up, said Runia's hand softly then went to the kitchen.
He wasn't tired and weary at all. He made food for his wife. After half an hour, Hafiz returned to Runia's room.
Runia had opened her eyes, Hafiz smiled in relief. "Don't be angry first. Now the important thing is your health," said Hafiz, then straightened his wife's back and then fed him.
Runia remained silent she had not opened her mouth at all. "Please don't confuse me. Eat, any kind of worship if you don't obey your husband, there's no point in worship. Moreover, what your husband asks for is not something that is forbidden by Allah. I ask you to eat so you don't torture yourself. So eat," said Hafiz then feed his wife.
"If you still want to be quiet. Just keep quiet. But I have prepared a plane ticket to go to Makassar. Do you want to go with me? Rina will definitely feel happy if you want to come," said Hafiz. Runia shed tears.
"Don't cry! I'm confused. If you don't want to go, it's okay. You've silenced me for almost four days. Don't cry anymore, I'm sorry," Hafiz said relentlessly. "Instead of me making you uncomfortable it's better if I go."
Runia pulled Hafiz's hand who was about to leave. "I will go to Makassar," said Runia quietly. Hafiz looked at Runia with a question mark.
"But you are sick," said Hafiz as he confirmed by touching Runia's forehead with the back of his hand.
"Give me vitamin C, it will be delicious later," said Runia. Quickly without Hafiz's permission.
Muach.
Kissed his wife's lips briefly. "That's not a vitamin but a kiss." Hafiz runs away after committing an unexpected act.
