"Fear…." I cried tired by hugging my future mother-in-law.
Tests came to my family. Just now I returned home, there was already someone who had to temporarily leave the house. Due to the non-conducive conditions there, I was taken home by Kaf and he came out again to ensure the state of my family.
"Udah, Deck. Take it easy, it's okay." Papa Ghifar appeared and sat down near Mama Aca.
Papa Ghifar is his sister's father, papa Ghifar and mama Aca are my future in-laws. However, Mama Aca is the connecting mother of Kaf. Kaf's birth mother had been dead since Kaf was a child.
"Which father?" I wiped my tears.
Mama Aca didn't say anything, she just hugged me by rubbing my back.
"Some, dad's bothered. I've been sleeping here, Dek." Papa Ghifar's breath sounded heavy.
"Dec…. It's sate as nanya." Kaf's turn came with my food.
There is this Kaf behavior. He could still remember my food, with such a precarious situation.
"Sorry, disturb. Adek Cani is there?"
I looked for the source of the voice, on the doorstep was Kaf's sister-in-law who seemed to be in trouble as well.
"Why, Bang?" I dry my eyes with the back of my hand.
"You don't know Rai's home address, Dek? Or, her family's phone number. Dad said his family told me to pick him up. Fear is not taken care of here, I have other hassles about it." Her husband Kal was East Javanese.
"You don't, Dek?" Kaf sat on the floor of his parents' room, and he opened my satay wrap.
"I don't know, Kaf. People know her name is only two weeks together."
Like a boomerang to me, all eyes looked at me but they were reluctant to ask questions. The most striking thing was, Kaf's facial veins changed.
"I'll take care of Rai, Bang." Kaf looked at the doorway.
"Oh, yeah. I'm the same Kal sleeping in the biyung house huh, Ma, Pa?"
The man was brought home from a Kal holiday trip to East Java. She brought her own future husband, got married anyway stay here. Even so, originally we were all doubtful about Kal's future husband. Because so far, he never brought his family even when he married Kal.
"Yes, can. Settle down there," said Mama Aca who still rubbed my shoulders.
"Yes, Ma." Kal's husband nodded and left from the doorstep of papa Ghifar's private room and Aca's mother.
"Here eat first, Dek." Kaf patted the place next to him.
"You eat, Kaf." Papa Ghifar walked towards the window of his room on the second floor.
"Ditemenin Kaf ate it, Deck." Mama Aca pointed at her stepson.
Married to bang Chandra, he was the biological son of Mama Aca. We are married between cousins, it is also commonplace here.
I sit down in front of Kaf, I can't let her down again. Moreover, just because of the food he gave me I did not eat.
"What was my original plan about Rai? How is Rai's condition, can-can not hold gini's father?" Mama Aca asked a question, as a mouthful of new rice entered my mouth.
Kaf eats too, we eat in the same plate.
"Wait for her to heal, I'll take her home to Payakumbuh. The problem is he's DPO, let his business be in his city. But wait for him to lighten up, he can't go home in this situation," said Kaf who seemed to focus on his food.
"But he needs money, Kaf," I explained later.
"I can give you, he doesn't have to work. He shouldn't be here too long, afraid that our police will take the people they're looking for. I can understand Dad's hassles, but we still have to get married and I don't want anyone else to disturb our household. I want to focus, my household business is not about material. I'm still learning, I don't want to be rivaled by a third person." He looked down at the rice, but his words seemed to stupefy me.
Does Kaf feel that my feelings are very much in a dilemma because of Rai?
"Can I come to Payakumbuh?" I looked at him who kept bowing.
"Bole, later the same Mama also let you not unboxing in OYO same Kaf." Mama Aca's words made papa Ghifar in front of the window chuckle to himself.
Kaf raises his face, he looks at papa Ghifar. "Definitely remember his memories of unboxing in OYO." Kaf smiled slanted.
Papa Ghifar turned. "Where is there!" His face was still in a state of amused laughter.
"Udah cepet continue to eat, continue to rest." Mama Aca walked towards the walk in closet.
Why am I not at home with Biyung? Because I cry and cry the same, we cried at home. My mind trembled quickly, I was afraid of criminal events.
Three days later, Kaf invited me to visit Rai at the clinic. In fact, since the day I was at his house, I had asked permission to leave the house and visit Rai. However, he said I was not allowed to leave the house alone.
"The construction of the mosque for dowry has already begun, Dek. We can't fail." Kaf rubbed the back of my hand that was on my lap, as we were still waiting for Mama Aca to get ready to get into the car.
I just nodded. I will accept all this, I will try to sincerely live. However, I want to make sure myself about Rai's heart to me.
The biggest disaster is when we are attracted to others. But others are not so with us.
I think it's a dilemma because I'm used to the comfort he gives and I feel I'm attracted to him. Don't open your voice to Kaf, just open your voice to Dad, I don't.
I don't know what might happen, if Rai turns out to have the same comfort as me. I didn't know I'd have the heart to hurt Kaf for Rai's sake, or I would still follow Kaf's path even though Rai and I had similar comforts.
I still don't know what will happen, even though I'm currently trying to be sincere and accept the flow from Kaf. He is more entitled to be my future husband and husband, because he is the best candidate according to father.
Men today, responsible as a husband alone has been called very good. Moreover, if the responsibility is plus established, royal, dashing and titled like Kaf.
"Come, Kaf. My mom is ready." Mama Aca was carrying her new granddaughter from the Chandra bang.
He is under a year old. Unlike her older siblings who have a test-tube baby program and twin siblings, she was born as a single baby through a natural process and cesarean delivery. However, he was born just like his brothers. He is a boy, who has the name Akandra Auriga.
Because of the close clinic, it didn't take long for us to reach the clinic. My heart is not fine, seeing Rai sitting in his safe staring out the window.
"Sorry, Doctor Kaf. The patient has been allowed to go home, please take care of administration." A nurse immediately rebuked us.
"Oh, yes." Kaf stopped to enter Rai's room.
Just stepped deeper into Rai's room, now it was Akandra's turn to cry.
"Mama's at the door, Deck. Maybe it's a sultry time, huh?" Mama Aca came back out of the room.
I have time to talk to Rai.
