The Fondled Heart
Chapter 45

Now the Goddess is at the door of a shop that stands standing majestically. But, baby, the door is still closed.

This area is pretty quiet too. Seen from the building of the house that is not much. It looks like this is a newly opened residential location.

And the shophouse building in front of the Goddess is very striking because it looks magnificent and spacious. Around the side of the shophouse, there were still many empty land areas. Even rice fields and fields surround that shophouse.

Dewi was confused, how to get into the shophouse. While still tightly closed so, and for the place to ask was no one he met.

The Goddess circulated a glance around, who knew there were people passing by for a place to ask. Waiting ten, fifteen minutes remains quiet. The goddess felt uneasy and agitated. Between going home and surviving made him doubtful and desperate.

After almost half an hour of waiting, the Goddess saw a pedestrian heading towards her. A speck of hope was pinned on the chest of the Goddess. Can't wait for the pedestrian to pass in front of him.

" Excuse me sir. May I ask, sir?" greet the Goddess kindly as soon as the middle-aged father flashed in front of the Goddess.

" Can, what's the need, huh?"

" Sir, is this address right around here?" said the Goddess gave a piece of paper to the father.

" Yes son, that's the shophouse right behind you. But the shophouse is open at night. What's there to do there, son?" look at the father that looks at the appearance of the Goddess from top to bottom.

" I'm looking for my husband, sir. He said he worked at this place. My name is Goddess, sir. My husband's name is Alex. Here's the picture, who knows you've met." the father observed the photo in the hand of the Goddess.

" It seems like you've seen this picture. Or maybe it's similar to this photo, son of the Goddess."

" Is it true sir?" the eyes of the Goddess shone brightly, because someone knew the whereabouts of her husband. The hope of meeting her husband is becoming more real.

"Father says it's just like son, Goddess. You could be wrong."

" He works here, sir? You've seen and met my husband, have you?"

" No, I mean the father he is the owner of this shophouse, with his wife. But the name can be the same, right? His name is Alex."

" Oh, so did sir. It could have been the same coincidence, yes. My husband couldn't have a shop this grand. But if you work here, it makes sense sir." said the weak Goddess. Hope is extinct already.

Maybe he had the wrong address. But why did her husband include this address when he sent her the money three months ago. Or if her husband has changed addresses because he has moved to work.

But the father clearly said that the owner of the shop was similar to the picture of her husband and coincidentally his name was also Alex.

" Hello to the Goddess?" greet the middle-aged lelalki, seeing him silent for so long.

" Eh, yes sir. Sorry I was daydreaming." I'm the goddess of confusion.

" Kid Dewi sure, if her husband works here? This is a gambling place, son. That's why they open at night. To make sure, son Dewi comes again later in the afternoon. Usually around five o'clock they've started to open."

" Thank you, sir for the information." said Dewi passed by with a shaky step. The goddess no longer knew where she was going after this. If she fails to find her husband, where will she go? The brothers in the village are no more

The goddess was confused to hear the father's explanation. Would her husband want to spell in a place like that. Remembering her husband though was not pious, but always avoiding such a place.

Was it because the harshness of living in the city made her husband change? The goddess remembered when her husband came to town.

" Deck, tomorrow I try my luck in the city. There's a friend of mine who ngajak.." said Alex that night at bedtime.

" Why did you arrive once, bang? How about adek?" sahut Dewi who does not agree that her husband went to the city.

Life in this village was enough for him. There is a rice field that is going to be planted. If for daily needs can still be fulfilled. And can still save a little if the harvest arrives.

" Well, I had to stay for a while. Later if you already got the job brother pick adek again."

" But bang, adek prefers that we stay in the village." protested Dewi to her husband

Armed with savings that are not much. Alex leaves with his friend who has successfully wandered into the city.

In the first and second months, her husband was still able to send money and news through their neighbors. Dewi doesn't have a cell phone yet, so it's not every day she knows her husband.

And in the third month her husband sent absolutely nothing. There is no news either. Even if she had asked her neighbors for help, to tell her husband that she was pregnant. Still no reply. Even the number you are calling is no longer active.

Afraid of something happening to her husband, Dewi desperate to follow her husband to the city. With a young pregnant woman. The goddess knew too late that she was pregnant. It turns out that Dewi got pregnant three months ago, after their marriage that has been one year.

Tin.tin.... The sound of a motorcycle horn resuscitates the Goddess from her banquet. The goddess was shocked. Then he crossed the street, and sat down to rest in a stall. The goddess could still observe from afar if - if the shophouse was open.

Dewi decided to wait until the shophouse was open.

" Good afternoon ma'am, can you sit down ma'am?" greet the Goddess to the owner of the stall.

" Good day, too, son. Please." said the owner of the stall was no less friendly. Then they engaged in conversation, damn where and where to go the destination of the Goddess.

" Oh, so is it, son. Just wait until the afternoon, to make sure, son."

" Yes, mom. Thanks for letting the Goddess wait here."

" It's okay, it's okay."

Not long after the Goddess saw someone come out of that shophouse.

" Mom, I'll take a minute. Looks like someone just came out of the shophouse." pamit Dewi rushed to the owner of the stall. The shop owner just wants to say yes.

" sir. Excuse me sir!" greet the Goddess hurriedly as the man who had just come out was about to enter again.

The burly man, holding the door shut.

" What's up?" look at the man looking at the entire body of the Goddess, with eyes pinching.

" I'm sorry sir, do you know this photo?" The goddess showed me a picture of her husband. The man looked back at the Goddess. This time it was sharper, making the Goddess wry.

" Wait a minute here!" the burly man commanded with his heavy voice. Then he went in and met his partner.

" This is a young woman in front, claiming to be the boss' wife. How'this?"

" Wow! It could be bad, if the madam gets to know!" exclaimed partner. Because he knew very well his boss did have a wife in the village. But he had ignored it for a few months. ***
