...Whether the wound I gave was that deep, until the moment this body wanted to embrace you, you were further away to reach....
...~Gibran Bara Alkahfi...
...🌴🌴🌴...
The voice of the Adhan reverberated so loudly, awakening the obedient men to his commandments and prostrating to ask for everything he wanted in the world and the hereafter.Â
The pair of eyes that had been closed and were still lulled in his dreams, slowly moved. His lips curled up with both hands pulled up. Wiggling and stretching his muscles, he felt his body a little more relieved.
His hand moved to the side. Clap the bed that his wife should be there, but why is there no movement. Spontaneous eyes were wide open and turned. No one was there to make him sit down immediately.
He's alone in this room. Even from the tangle of bed linen, Bara could see that there was no trace of his wife lying there.Â
"Where is Meera early in the morning?" He murmured while lowering his feet to the floor. "Didn't he sleep in the room?"Â
Bara monologue. Don't want to be stricken with curiosity as soon as he comes out of the room. Views circulate. The lights in his house were still extinguished, a sign that everyone was still busy closing their eyes.
"House is still empty. Then where is Almeera really?"Â
Finally, after struggling with his own thoughts. Bara chose to go to his first son's room. According to him, Almeera will be there, because the relationship with her first son is very close. Slowly, Bara opened the door to Abraham's room. Push it wide open and then move his legs more in.Â
His eyes were immediately fixed on the large bed. There, only his son was still engrossed in his blanket. Given the time had entered dawn prayer finally Bara chose to approach and sit himself in the bed of his son.Â
"Abra...Abras...Wake up!" Call Bara while shaking the son's body.
There is no lawfulness. Even the body of the Middle School teenager was still engrossed in silence with eyes closed. His beautiful face was very visible.Â
"Abraham, let's get up. Pray, Son!" Bara said not giving up.Â
"Whisper!" Abraham pulled out a blanket and covered his entire body until his head sank.
I let out a heavy breath. He can't be angry at his son. He slowly pulled the blanket until the son's face was seen.
"What the hell!" Abraham did not accept.
"Wake up!" The sting of the Bara in the end. "Keep taking ablution in the bathroom."Â
The sound of the rising embers certainly made Abraham spontaneously sit down himself.Â
"It's really disturbing!" Dengus Abra did not accept.Â
"Abra!" The sound of the barrage is already on the threshold.Â
He looked at his son sharply and with a firm jaw. As if he said if the teenager in front of him, must immediately do what he ordered.Â
"Papa still care about me?" Ask with a face that you don't like.Â
"What do you mean?"Â
"Ask yourself, Papa. Where have you been all week, huh?" Abraham asked with his face staring at his father.
There was no fear in his eyes. Even the 14-year-old teenager was impressed to challenge his own father.Â
"Papa is at work" Bara said, turning his face away.
"Work?" Abraham repeated with a laugh. "Yes Papa works at another woman's house."Â
"What do you mean, son?"Â
"Don't act in front of me, Papa. I am not Bia who is easily deceived by deception" said Abraham as he stood up.Â
Suddenly silent. He stared at the movement of his son away from him. Bad thoughts began to creep into his brain and he guessed whether this son knew of this secret.
Abraham laughed cynically. He looked at the look on his face with a displeased look and immediately threw away his gaze quickly.Â
"Papa has a new wife besides Mama" Abraham said without covering up. "Papa remarries and demands Mama's love."Â
"Papa does not wish Mama, Abra. Papa gets his blessing," Bara said he wanted to straighten out.
"No yelling?" Abraham repeated his head. "Then what's the proper mention besides that, Papa?"Â
As if I could not answer. He could only afford the silence that made Abraham hate him so much.Â
"If Papa marries again, it is proof that Papa is double from Mama," he said firmly. "Without caring about it being married or having an affair, for sure, Papa is already wishing for Papa's marriage to Mama."Â
Bara's face was so shocked for a moment. He looked at his son with wide eyes. The second marriage he had hidden was already known to his son. Until it makes Bara so curious.Â
"Know where, if Papa remarries?"Â
"Mama and Om Jonathan" said Abraham so lightly.Â
"Om Jo?" Repeat Bara with a crimped forehead. "When did Jo come?"Â
"Every day as long as Papa's not home."Â
Pensive coals. His head was trying to recall the events during this one week. There was no communication between himself and his wife.
"Say anything, Mama's the same Om Jo?"Â
"That's all" said Abraham with a face full of conviction. "If there's nothing else to talk about, it's better for Papa to come out."Â
"You're expelling Papa, Abra?" Ask Bara in disbelief.
"Yes. Better get Papa out!"Â
No more happy faces for Abraham. The eyes that usually stared in awe at Bara seemed to vanish without a trace. The secret that he accidentally heard when his mother and om spoke, certainly made Abraham feel hurt. Especially when every night he heard his mother cry, the hatred on his father figure grew bigger.
Bara is unable to speak anymore. He seemed to be slapped by the words of his son. Immediately on turning his body and intending to get out of there.
"Wait!" Abraham kept Papa from leaving. "If Papa is more at home in the new wife. At least take the time to go home to see Bia and Mama."Â
The heart of Bara is certainly beating fast. Even his eyes were heating up as if his son's words were like stripping him naked.Â
"Now get out, Pa! Don't make Mama cry again or Papa will face me."Â
...🌴🌴🌴...
The view seemed empty. However, no one knew if his mind kept on remembering all the words of his son. About his wife who often cried and himself who wished the love of the mother.
His eyes were closed and involuntarily a bulir of tears fell down his cheeks. I really felt bad this morning. Even he was so confused not knowing what to do.Â
The father of the two children looked at a door in front of Abraham's room. This is where his little daughter's room is and in there, his wife and little daughter are sleeping.Â
I opened the door slowly and opened it. The dim lighting didn't make it difficult. He continued walking closer to the bed until it was seen that two bodies of his favorite woman were asleep while hugging.Â
Bara approaching. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of his wife who was not wearing a hijab. His eyes were sad with a mind that continued to stretch.Â
"Why are you moving away, Ra? Why don't you want me to touch you?" He murmured with teary eyes. "Originally you know.I miss you so much."Â

Her mouth was sweet as honey. Say misses his first wife, then when there says love to the second wife.
I have no gratitude!
