Between Two Hearts
Depart

Two days later...

"You're still leaving today?" ask me, I'm still worried.

"Yes, ma'am." replied Tiara with a smile.

"You're completely healed, son?" ask Mom again.

"Alhamdulillah, already ma'am. I'm calm, yes, there will also be A Jiho who takes care of me," he continued.

"Hmmm... Alright. You and I can only pray, be careful, son.." said Mother again. "We have Tiara, son." he added.

"Good, Mom. God willing, later if there is a time we often go home," replied Jiho excitedly.

They greet Father and Mother. "Be careful on the road y son." said they compact.

Tiara looked at mom's teary eyes.

"Don't worry about Tiara sir, Mom. Father and Mother here must take care of health, yes" he said while hugging them.

The girl smiled and walked away from her hometown. Jiho held his wife's hand, while his right hand carried a bag containing clothes.

"What a hard one... Aa will always take care of you."

Tiara looked at him and smiled. She grabbed her husband's arm and struggled spoiled.

"You shouldn't be surprised, Aa isn't an office worker like Ferdi. There Aa is still contracted, need to save first to buy a house," said Jiho back.

"Yes A, I understand..."

"Hhhmmm, thank you, for understanding."

In the middle of the road they cross paths with Ferdi. For some reason, their destiny is always connected.

"Hey... Where are you guys going?" the question was while stealing a glance towards Tiara.

"We want to go to the city" Jiho replied later.

"Dek Tiara is healed?" ask again. The one asked just nodded. Tiara could not look him in the eyes. Really, he doesn't want to falter anymore.

"Alhamdulillah, it's gone. Let's excuse us.." Jiho said back.

"Oh yes, be careful on the road." continued Ferdi welcome.

The two of them walked back, while Ferdi was still pondering where he stood. He looked at the couple until they were gone from his gaze.

While the two lovebirds are still friendly hand in hand. But suddenly, Tiara stumbled over a rock. "Oh.." he said complaining.

"Why you?"

"Hmmm this..."

Jiho immediately squatted down and looked at his feet. "You sprained, which. Want aa to carry?"

"Huh? It's not A."

"Why?"

"It would be a lot of baggage,"

"We've got a rest."

He massaged Tiara's feet gently. Tiara's heart was touched. He treated her so well.

Finally arrived at the town. We took a bus to T.

"Sit here, if you sleep. Our journey is long enough. Approximately 9 hours drive, until there at night," explained Jiho.

Tiara just nodded, to walk alone it felt tired, let alone having to sit here for hours. But whatever she could do, she decided to go with her husband.

"If you want to pee say yes, later Aa intersect to the back," he continued again. Fortunately, in the bus there is a complete toilet facility so there is no need to worry if the kebelet peed on the road. It is worth the price of the ticket which is quite expensive.

After a long time on the way, Tiara felt cold. Probably because I am not used to AC. This was the first time he had ever boarded a bus and traveled so far. Fortunately, he was not drunk on the trip. He just felt cold because of the AC.

"Aa, I'm cold." said Tiara Lirih. Jiho looked at him and smiled, then he turned off the AC that was right above our seats. He took off his jacket and put it on Tiara.

"What about?"

"It's okay, Aa's strong. What matters is that you don't get sick anymore."

Tiara nodded.

Tiara closed her eyes for some time, when she woke up the day had started at night. "Darling... Thank God you are awake, we are ready yes, soon want to arrive, do not let anyone miss," said Jiho. Tiara just nodded.

"Kiriiii.. kiriiii sir.." cried Jiho. The bus slowed down and stopped. They get off the bus, not forgetting Jiho always holds his wife's hand. Warm.

"We'll eat first huh, you must be hungry right?" ask A Jiho. Tiara nodded back. I don't know how much attention he's been given all day. Delivering to the toilet, buying popmies and snacks. And other small concerns.

They ate at a warteg that was still open. Not a fancy restaurant.

'Don't confuse our situation with the rich. Anyway our tongue ndeso, do not understand the same foreign food menu.'

They eat voraciously, after a day of stomach not filled with rice, it feels really delicious and filling.

"You want to be wrapped up too?" ask Jiho.

"No need for A" Tiara replied.

"Yes if you don't want to. Come on, let's go again...! Is it okay to walk?" ask again. Again Tiara just nodded. "Do you want to be carried?" ask Jiho again in a soft tone. Tiara just smiled and shook her head. Embarrassed.

They walked for a long time, but because Tiara was exhausted she almost fell down again. Jiho immediately grabbed his wife's body.

"Darling, are you okay?" ask Jiho. Tiara fell silent. "His feet still hurt?" added again.

"Yes A, a little bit of pain." replied Tiara Lirih.

"Let's have a sling, huh...?"

"Don't."

"Why?"

"I'm ashamed, A..."

"So why? You're Aa's wife."

"But..."

"Let's be a fat baby, pity you like gini..."

"But..."

"Srsttt... No one will be angry. Oh yes, yes!"

"Is it far away?"

"Hm... Not too far away, just a minute to go."

"..."

"But if you're like this continue to be not to the point. Let's go up Aa's back."

Tiara just kept quiet, she hesitated. But suddenly Jiho just carried her without approval again.

Jiho did not care about some of the views of the people he met on the street and looked at them as if full of questions.

***

Soon entered an alley, finally arrived at a small house. Jiho took Tiara down from her sling.

"Well, we've arrived" Jiho said as he reached for the key in his pants pocket. He opens the door. "Let's go in," continued A Jiho. He closed the door and locked it.

"Assynoltom..."

"Greetings waalaikum..."

They smiled as they shared their greetings.

"Maklumi well, it's like this" Jiho continued.

"It's more than enough A," Tiara replied, her eyes while looking around.

This rented house only has 4 floors. Living room, room, kitchen and bathroom. The furniture is quite complete. Foam mattresses, closets, TVs, refrigerators, stoves and kitchen utensils, and motorpun have. Alhamdulillahot.

"Aa boil water first yes, make a bath." said Jiho who is very attentive with his wife.

Tiara nodded again. While his body feels very tired, especially there was a scar yesterday that felt throbbing pain. Tiara's laying on the bed, it looks like she's gonna be hard here. Thas it... Well where else would you like to be? This is her husband's house

"Yes... Let's take a shower first, Aa readyin the water.." said A Jiho a little surprised Tiara.

"Ah, yes," he answered briefly as he passed towards the bathroom. When finished, it was Jiho's turn to clean himself.
