Tomi sat down relaxed after finishing her lunch. While waiting for time, Tomi thought about where to look for Rania, he felt tired after days he went around the city but had not found a bright spot. Until he got into this area, the suburbs and stopped by for lunch.
Tomi walks into the bathroom to wash her face and urinate. After coming out she is shocked to see a girl, whom she believes is Rania. It looks like the girl is sitting at the cashier table, and transacting with the buyer. He looks very friendly.
"Thank you, don't get tired of coming here again." Rania heard a loud voice.
Tomi's feelings were mixed. His chest rumbled, the longing was very, very happy because he finally could pull the lover away, confused and afraid that Rania would leave after seeing him. His eyes could not see Rania from a distance.
It feels like Tomi wants to run and hug this tiny body that she misses so much.
Hold her tight and will no longer let go. It's a miss that almost drives him crazy.
Yet his logic still functioned clearly, his logical mind resisting the desires of his heart. Tomi is afraid that if she runs and hugs Rania, it could be that Rania will run away and get back away from her. Moreover, this was in a public place, it would definitely create a commotion.
Slowly Tomi can control himself, he is silent and sets his breath slowly until his heart is calm. He stepped back to his desk.
I better wait for him until he gets home from work. I'll ask him to talk later. If now I insist on seeing him, he might even run away. And I'm the one who's having a hard time looking for her. bathin Tomi.
Tomi drank the juice until it was clean. The clock is already showing at five in the afternoon, and the stalls seem to be closing soon.
But Tomi still did not move from her seat. Some of the employees of the restaurant whispered to each other about it.
Shortly came Bik Sum the owner of the rice stall.
"Sorry, we'll be closing soon. I can come back tomorrow." politely throw him out.
"Eh ...Yes, Madam. I'm waiting for someone." Answer Tomi.
"Mom, may I ask you a question?" said Tomi making Bik Sum's forehead wrinkled. But he quickly smiled.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya friendly.
"Who's the girl who works as the cashier?" tomi said as her eyes looked at Rania.
"Oh, that's my niece her name is Rania. He is new here." replied Bik Sum still with his friendly smile.
"Mas, know him?" ask bik Sum then.
"Yes, she's my wife who ran away from home!" answer Tomi origin.
"Wife???" bik Sum was surprised.
Didn't Rania say she was still a girl. And run away from home because of a match. But this was why she claimed to be her husband.
"Yes, she's my wife. Her name is Rania Zaskia, and we just got married. He ran away because he misunderstood me. The problem is that the new couple is still adjusting. Do you want to help me?" ask Tomi.
This time Tomi spoke with a pretty convincing expression. Make Bik Sum believe it.
But Bik Sum still had doubts, it could be that this man was lying.
"Mom, don't be afraid. I'm not lying. I can see this." Tomi said.
She took her phone and showed me some pictures of herself with Rania and also photos after her application.
"Why did he run away? don't you cheat? or are you KDRT?" bik Sum was suspicious.
"Tomi smiled cutely at Bik Sum's words.
"No bik, Rania misunderstood me, she thought I didn't love her. And I love him so much. The proof is that I followed him here. If not because I love him so much, why would I bother looking for him until here. Please help me Mom" Tomi said expectantly.
Finally Bik Sum nodded after seeing Tomi's hearty and hopeful face.
"All right, I'll call you" said Bik Sum.
"Mom, may I speak to my wife outside. I mean I'm going to take him away from here" Tomi said.
"Call me Bik Sum, just like everyone else" said Bik Sum
Bik sum seemed to think. Until he finally agreed. And walking left Tomi who was smiling gleefully.
"Rania .." call Bik Sum.
Rania who was counting the money at the cashier turned her head. "Yes Bik.." she replied.
"There's someone looking for you, he says if he's your husband" said Bik Sum.
"His husband??" rania was surprised.
"Yes, he's waiting in front. If you have a problem, don't run, face it. Good thing your husband is good, and wants to follow you here. Hurry and meet him." said Bik Sum
Rania still thinks who's looking for her. There's no way Tomi's gonna make it here looking for him. Where does he know if I'm in this village.
Rani stepped down from her chair and put the money she had finished counting into the drawer.
He walked towards Tomi who was waiting for him in front.
Who her? Maybe this is true Tomi. Why it looks so different. Tomi always looks neat and cool.
bathin Rania who kept on walking closer. And saw the back of the man who was waiting for him in the courtyard of the restaurant.
Tomi had indeed come out of Bik Sum's stall and waited for Rania in the courtyard. He intentionally. If in the stall, the possibility of Rania running is greater and it could be Bik Sum protecting her instead.
"What's up, why are you looking for me?" rania's voice asked.
Tomi was immediately surprised, her chest tight, her throat dry even though just to answer Rania's question.
Tomi turned around and looked at the bead in the eyes of the girl who had been missing for a week. A deep longing, clearly visible in the twinkle of his eyes.
Rania is also surprised to see Tomi standing in front of her . He woke up and wanted to leave immediately. The sentence Tomi said a few days ago again flashed melodious in his ears. Makes his chest filled with pain, tightness and disappointment. Rania is ready to run.
But his movements were read by Tomi. With long and quick steps Tomi managed to pull out Rania's hand. Pulling her firmly and putting Rania into her arms.
Hugged it very tightly. Spilling all the longing that he had been holding in his chest.
Rania initially revolted, but Tomi hugged her until finally she gave up resignation and silence without returning Tomi's embrace.
