Happy, words that are often spoken as an expression when a person's feelings are at the peak they want. As was the case with Iyan Rahendra tonight, sitting in the living room with the windows open breathed in the soothing night air. Canda and laughter adorn both with the presence of new life in the womb Melati, Iyan more loving and pampering him.
"Your hat is son." Mom brought me some coffee for Iyan.
"Thank you Mom, Iyan can make it yourself" said Iyan felt troublesome mother-in-law.
"It's okay, I'm making tea too. Just for you and jasmine." Mother also put the Milk that Iyan bought for Melati.
"So Uncle Aryo called, he said he had news, and will be home next month" said Melati to his mother.
"Is that so Nduk?" Mother Nur's old face looks sparkling with the news of the coming home of her beloved husband, Melati's father.
"Yes, it's just hard to contact because there's no network in the Bu project area. Maybe in three weeks you are back." explained Melati again.
"Thank God, I'm relieved." Nur's mother smiled happily, her breathing also sounded light.
"I hope you're not surprised by our marriage." Iyan interrupted the conversation of the mother and child.
"Of course not Mas, I'm not a person who demands a lot, he is good and only follows what is best for me."
"Of course, I'm very happy with your pregnancy, take good care because I can't wait to have a grandchild." Mother chuckles small.
"Of course I'll take care of her, Mom, from tomorrow Melati won't work. You also do not have to bother to cultivate a vegetable garden. If only for consumption please plant and pick. But if it's for sale, I'm gonna be exhausted. For a while I wanted Mom to look after Melati, I felt bad for Melati if she was often left alone."
"But it's a pity, son, I'm used to it." Mom seemed to think.
"Just while Ma'am, Iyan asked Mom to look after Melati." pinta Iyan again.
"Yes already then. I'm just afraid to trouble you."
"No, ma'am, I just feel bad if I stop right now. Adi still needs me." Iyan explained to her mother-in-law.
"Yes, I just obey" he answered with a glass of tea.
Jasmine giggled amusedly, her mother could not resist.
"At the same time I'm fine, why do I have to be taken care of?" jasmine asked with her smooth voice.
"Because you're my wife." answered Iyan hugging Melati, peeping her cheek and teasing her.
They do not realize that from a distance someone is watching them. The man stood firm with both hands resting at the back. His eyes looked at her with his lips slightly interested, he smiled witnessing the happiness of Iyan and Melati. But those eyes that looked like Iyan were shedding tears.
24 Years ago, when his wife was pregnant young like Melati.
"Finally my wife is pregnant, I'm going to have a child, we're going to have a child!"
The words spoken are still remembered to this day.
"Yes, I'm pregnant with our child."
So does the sweet voice of his beloved wife still ringing in his ears.
But that extraordinary happiness and love did not last long, shattered when the presence of a man named Arjuna visited their humble home.
It is still clear how the young man looked at his wife. Not a moment did the young man's eyes miss the movements of his beloved wife.
Until one day Dimas found the young man desperate to meet his wife. His wife refused, and Dimas also attacked until the young man named Arjuna was defeated.
But it was unexpected when Dimas was off guard, and the young man named Arjuna attacked his wife through the subconscious, meeting her in a dream and tying her soul to black magic.
Strangely, Dimas is getting weird with his wife's Kenanga attitude. Until some time passed, his wife cried day and night without stopping.
"What makes you sad?" ask Dimas slowly.
He shook his head, but he could see that he was really sad.
Days pass. Unbeknownst to him why he was getting thinner and less excited, like he was holding a heavy weight.
And that day, the young man named Arjuna deliberately appeared, passing through their house many times. Don't give up until Kenanga comes out and sees it.
Kenanga's steps followed the young man subconsciously, her legs running without knowing the direction, even what she was stepping on she didn't care.
Followed far away and the eyes could not be separated from the young man, until he arrived at a steep road.
The young man named Arjuna stopped and turned to the girl of his dreams.
"We go home" he said, extending his hand to Kenanga, smiling sweetly and sparkling eyes.
Kenanga stretched out her hand, slowly her long-unsmiling lips were attracted slightly, there was a feeling of full happiness there.
But his heart said, that it was not true. "I'm Dimas Mahendra's wife."
A blink of an eye of a beautiful body with a stomach that began to bulge it through a high abyss.
Only the last words could be heard by the young man named Arjuna, as well as Dimas Mahendra who was in the field, he heard if his wife said so in his heart.
Since then he has been searching but cannot find his wife.
Until a few months later, Dimas Mahendra managed to find his beloved wife, but the body he missed was lifeless.
The tears on the man's cheeks were still dripping.
"Don't let you experience such painful things like me and your mother." he muttered looking up at the sky for a moment.
Then again witnessed the laughter and intimacy of his son-in-law from a distance.
...***...
Meanwhile, in a wooden house on the edge of the forest.
"Am I handsome?" ask Arka to Rahayu Dukun ageless.
"Of course you're always good-looking" he said to Arka, a month of living together and coming home with success that was not in vain.
"Thank you." said Arka smiling happily.
"Other times come here." Rahayu's pinta was so gentle.
"Yes, I'll be back." replied Arka still likes the beauty of Rahayu.
"Go home, Arjuna has picked you up." The woman pointed out that Aki Juno was already in front of her house.
"Yes." Yeah."
Coming home with a new plan, his heart was happy and proud of the new knowledge he got. He thought that he would soon win his competition with Iyan.
"Luckily I have friends and teachers like them." Arka was proud in her heart, she did not realize that at this moment she was getting lost in the wrong ambition, he said, it is also the path of life that further distances itself from the creator.
