Hafiz managed to give Runia an unexpected surprise. Runia was still enjoying the lightning-fast touch on her lips, her cheeks burning. Until clearly blushed when she got that one second kiss from her husband. A happy smile spread across Runia's cheeks.
"Very magical. She is... indeed sweet, her cooking is also delicious," said Runia, enjoying the food her husband had fed her.
However, suddenly his expression changed drastically. The smile that had been growing before now disappeared in an instant.
"Was that a pretense too? Or did he do it all just out of pity for me? Because I know very well that it was his voice. Elsa's sister listened to me about that voice. What looked down on me, should I also pretend that nothing happened? Mana I can, my heart still hurts. It feels torn apart," Runia muttered.
Not long ago Hafiz arrived, with a fairly large suitcase.
"Which clothes will you wear later, at Rina's wedding. I'll pack it here," said Hafiz as he unzipped the suitcase.
Suddenly Runia fell silent when Hafiz asked about clothes. It was as if he was remembering something he had heard before.
"I don't know. Mas just choose it for me. I'm afraid to take the wrong one. Don't I look tacky?"
Hearing that Hafiz was surprised, he looked questioningly with a frown.
"I don't see you at all plebeian. I feel that every appearance of yours must be elegant and charming, I like it," said Hafiz then took and then folded his shirt.
"You're lying again. Please don't pretend."
"Who's pretending I'm not pretending. I'm telling the truth," said Hafiz questioningly to Runia. "Please don't be silent anymore. Talk about what really happened. I never pretended in our relationship," said Hafiz but Runia smiled lightly. Hafiz was getting confused.
"I want to improve myself so that you like me and don't pretend," said Runia quietly as she continued to look at her husband. His voice began to crack and his eyes were already teary.
"I told you I wasn't pretending. What else do you mean by pretending?! If you don't explain. How will I know where I went wrong. Please, don't makeup riddles. I'm not a shaman who can predict what's in your heart. what are my mistakes and my shortcomings," asked Hafiz then sat beside Runia and tightly gripped Runia's hand.
Runia didn't dare look at Hafiz who was looking at her.
"I'm crying again." Hafiz again looks very emotional. Then he muffled himself with istighfar in his heart.
Runia was still stunned in tears. Hafiz looked at the clock on his wrist. "It's about time we go to the airport. Are you going to stay here crying like that or packing your things?!" asked Hafiz who immediately got up and packed his own things.
'Less how else to try me. Indeed, the woman's silence was very torturous. He didn't say anything but seemed to accuse me,' Hafiz cursed in his heart.
Runia immediately got up and packed her things. The two of them did not speak to each other while packing the goods.
'Even though he's angry he still wants to come with me. Thank God, I'm afraid that the seeds of my mind will be mixed with me,' he said in his grateful heart. After sitting on the edge of the bed while checking his cellphone.
[I'll be flying in an hour. Uncle has come home from the hospital, right? You also have to prepare your mind. I was a brother can only pray for you so that you change Dirga into a man who is loyal to one woman. Don't cry, I know you are crying right now.]
Hafiz sent a message via WhatsApp. Runia saw the sadness on Hafiz's face, with Hafiz's brows dropping and the heavy breath he had just exhaled.
"Are you ready? Then let's go. Oh yeah, have you taken your vitamins or medicine yet?" asked Hafiz a little worried.
"You're afraid I'll trouble you?" Runia's question made Hafiz stand up and very annoyed.
"Can't you help but be suspicious of me. I asked nicely, you answered like that. Don't you see that I care about you? Don't you see that I mean it instead of pretending? After I said sacred vows I intend, I even promise, to learn to accept you as you are. Want me to love you. Est ... never mind. It's useless talking to you, when you're ready let's go. I'll be waiting in the car."
After saying that Hafiz immediately took his suitcase and left the room. With her face flushed with anger, Runia had to control herself.
Runia went to the bathroom to clean herself when she came out. She wore a long dress below her knees, then long black leggings. Gray pashmina hijab.
A thin layer of powder and pink lipstick made her even more beautiful.
"Am I being too cruel to him? Should I be honest? He should have realized because he said it. How can someone forget what he said? He doesn't feel guilty at all," Runia muttered as she put on her shoes.
He saw a gift box in the corner. Runia immediately took the box and opened it.
"Cellphone? Why didn't I know there was a cell phone here? Stupid me... is this what he meant earlier. He already told me but I didn't open it? Is it possible... at the reunion, he came home late because he bought me a cell phone? Is it Elsa? I deliberately stirred up the atmosphere. Stupid me… I've known Elsa for a long time with everything she did, and now I still believe in her." Runia felt very guilty.
He quickly ran and closed the door. Runia turned around impatiently to apologize. However, he was wide-eyed and stopped his footsteps.
He saw Elsa whispering to Hafiz. Runia walked quickly.
"I'm ready, let's go," said Runia as she opened the car door, Hafiz turned and smiled and opened the car door.
"Elsa Sis, I want to go on a honeymoon. I hope you get married soon. So that you don't become a caterpillar in people's households," said Runia very surprising. Elsa was dumbfounded, Runia was satisfied and immediately got into the car.
"You are too rude," said Hafiz as he started the car engine, Runia gave a short smile.
"I'm sorry, Sis Elsa," said Runia casually. Hafiz looked at him strangely. "I already apologized, so come on," said Runia then put on Hafiz's seat belt.
Hafiz is getting confused by his wife's behavior. "I'm sorry. Later I will explain why I was angry and silenced you," said Runia, bringing her face closer to Hafiz.
Hafiz felt nervous because he was dealing with his wife who looked at him meaningfully. He swallowed hard and then started the car.
Runia put her right hand on Hafiz's shoulder then rested her chin on the back of her hand. She kept looking at her husband until it made Hafiz uncomfortable.
Runia smiled slightly and then looked away. "Thank you for understanding. Thank you for being patient, thank you for everything. And, I'm sorry," said Runia. Hafiz only glanced briefly then smiled.
