Khadija
A gift to Kha.

...61. A gift to Kha....

After Blue left from the besuk room with a glass bulkhead, Kha's body slumped until she curled up leaning against a plastic stool. Kha powerless to withstand the accumulation of sadness that had been kept so that Blue did not see it. Heartbroken to see Blue wearing prisoner clothes, moreover he saw a small wound on the corner of Blue's lips. Kha deliberately did not ask that, because he had already explained it himself. From the article read, at least he knows what the lives of the prisoners behind bars are like. What is the attitude of senior prisoners to newcomers. If it were true that the wound was from the senior prisoners, Blue would have been evasive as well.

He rested his head against the wall, staring at the lamp that almost lost its light. Kha's face was so calm but the contents of her cranium were clearly at war. Will this case be finished without a hitch. Can Blue be free even if it must be on condition. Otherwise, how could he continue living without Blue by his side. Why is life unfair, and many more questions fill the head.

“Kha! You're fine, ‘kan?” barid asked after the big room door was opened.

“If I say fine, do you believe?” answer Kha sarcas. He stood up and left the narrow room. Barid followed him with a limping path.

Undergoing the examination for more than 3 hours, then meeting Blue for 30 minutes, his energy seemed to be drained following his emotions. He was tired, wanted to immediately break down and forget for a moment the chaos of his life. However, inevitably it must be delayed until Dusk and Barsha are examined.

“Come, Kha, you come with me,” invite Dumb to make Kha frown, “both of me just not papa, ‘kan?”

“Where are we going? Didn't you wait for Mama Dusk with Acha first?”

“Mama same Acha witness who was directly involved from the beginning, so the examination must also be longer than you. You join bang Gentar, something must be pointed to you.”

Although curious, fatigue made him lazy to ask. Plus the stomach that had been rumbling from earlier spread its focus. For some reason since Kha's illness more often feel hungry and easily tired. He followed Gentar leaving Barid who was still waiting for Dusk as well as Barsha.

He opened the back door of the car as soon as he reached the police station parking lot. Both in the car with men instead of mahram make it throwback at the time when he was with Blue at the time. Instantly his eyes warmed up again, but he hurriedly removed it before trembling to see it.

“Do you want me to eat first, or do I buy food to eat in the car?” ask Dumb.

“Eat first may, Mas, I am hungry.” replied Kha.

“What do you eat?”

“Rang asam.” suddenly he thought he wanted to eat ferocious asem. Processed chicken seasoned with spices, given coconut milk and wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Just imagining it he had already swallowed.

“Acid rang?? Find where.” Mutters Dither.

He lay his head on the back of the chair, let Gentar play the phone, maybe Gentar is looking for a nearby restaurant that provides sour ferocious cuisine. The car started to move away from the police station, mingling with other vehicles that passed by. During the trip a few times Dentar stopped at a restaurant, then returned until already 6 restaurants they sambangi. 2 of them said they were not providing the menu and others said it was up.

Apparently Dentar has not given up, at the 7th restaurant they finally get the food Kha wants. Dumbar immediately ordered 2 servings of ferocious acid. The quiet restaurant makes Kha a little free to eat on the spot. He took a seat next to the table with Dumbness, keeping his distance and gaze from the other man. When the order came, Dentar looked more excited than he was. However, the look on his face instantly changed at the first mouthful.

He who was enjoying the first mouthful shook his head. For him, the cuisine of this restaurant is enough to make himself satisfied. Not with Dumbness who lost the spirit of eating after tasting the taste of food.

“If you want to vomit just say, don't be held!” scolded as they returned to the car.

Kha frowning. Why should he vomit while he enjoyed the food that suddenly crossed his mind. He returned to his head after the road car left the resto. Only 15 minutes after the car entered a residential complex. Kha felt no stranger to the models of the houses that passed, until he realized Dumbar brought himself to the house he had visited with Blue.

“Why did you dare bring me here?” ask Kha.

Undaunted down from the car then opened the back door, “amanat from Blue which I have to convey to you.”

Dumbly provide house keys with ornate initials hangers letters ‘A’. With trembling hands Kha received the key, she opened the door of the house slowly and entered with heavy steps.

“Actually Blue itself will bring you here, but have not had time and now ...”

Kha no longer paid attention to Dumbness. What was said was not heard by him. He passed into the house which some time ago is still in the process of construction and messy, but now it is neatly complete with furniture and photos of their simple marriage certificate displayed on the wall.

“This is the Blue mas that prepared?” asked Kha, Dumbly nodded.

He was surprised to see a minimalist residence with simple furniture but looks elegant. How can Blue prepare all this in between his busyness.

“This, Kha.” Dreadfully hand over a clear white map containing land and building ownership papers. What made him even more shocked was the name of the owner listed on the paper.

“Aishleen Khadijah? Me?”

“Iya, you. This is the Blue gift house for you. Blue says, now this house is yours, and he just hitchhiked,” Dumbly chuckles repeating Blue, “just fine until Blue comes home here.”

A drop of tears fell, he looked on Deterred for a moment then slurped and squatted hiding his face. His broken cries echoed in the corners of the room.

“Mas Blue ...”

The cry of Kha's pain signified how sad and devastated she was at that moment. He did not care about Dumbness to see the lowest point of himself, because there is no place more comfortable to take all the pills.

“You are strong, Kha ... Blue needs you strong until he comes back.”
