After Party

Choices

After finishing her lunch, Luna stared at her phone. Luna opened the whatsapp app on her phone, and stared at a foreign number that had contacted her several times, before the incident the other day. Then a week later the number sent a 'hi' message'. That'sallthatis.

Luna looked back at the profile number, like a silhouette, like the profile often worn by Juna.

Perhaps, Juna wanted to tell, that it was his new number, yet he still hesitated.

Luna was still thinking. He was interrupted by the advice of Kak Dewi.

"You still love each other. Every problem has a way out. Remember the baby in your womb, she still needs the love of her whole parents."

Luna looked at the foreign number back, then steadied her heart to send out a message.

"Hi, this is Luna. If this is really you. I want to meet. I want us to talk from heart to heart. Just the two of them, without any interference from the other party. We'll meet at 8 o'clock tonight, at our favorite place."

Luna sent the message to a foreign number which she instinctively thought was Juna's new mobile number.

After all, had it been Juna's number, he would have come. That's Luna's heart.

However, Luna has resigned, if otherwise. Luna still hopes her instincts are right and Juna really comes to see her later tonight after work.

*

Juna read the incoming message.

He smiled as he found out who sent the message. Luna invited her to meet up later tonight, at their favorite place.

Juna was so eager to see Luna, he missed her so much.

When it gets dark, and the work starts to finish. Juna tidied up his desk and walked out of his office.

He returned to the entrance of the busway stop. In her heart, she desperately wants to meet with Luna, in order to repair their marriage.

But on the other side of his heart. Juna was worried, because he still felt traumatized by yesterday's events.

Juna was still feeling scared and worried, what, if this was some kind of trap just for him?

"Mas, if you don't want to go in, don't take the road, dong!" Reprimanded mother who was behind Juna while looking at him with annoyance.

"Oh, sorry." Spontaneous Juna away from the entrance of the stop.

Juna cursed to himself, why daydream in a public place.

Since then, Juna has not been with Luna. He always takes public transport. Sometimes Juna ride an online motorcycle taxi, but, because the distance is quite far, the cost becomes swollen if it continues to continue.

Jakarta's public transport section, it's good at the moment.

If you're lucky, when Papi doesn't use his car, Juna borrows it. However, only about twice, since returning from Solo, yesterday.

Juna had learned to drive, and first borrowed Papi's car, he was very careful, because it turned out that the atmosphere of the city of Solo and Jakarta was much different.

At that time, Roni's words came back when they met the other day.

"You complement each other. All shortcomings are covered by each. You just need to look at each other, and improve each other's attitudes, for the good of your relationship."

Suddenly Juna's phone vibrated. Juna took his phone in his shirt pocket.

Juna looked at the name on the screen.

Ayus.

DEG!

His heart stopped for a moment.

Juna answered the call.

"Oh, yes, Ayu. Sure remember. How are you?" Juna replied with a stammer. How could he forget Ayu.

"Good, Sir. I'm in Jakarta again, you know! Want to see you tonight? I brought it from Solo. Take it easy, not for work, really. How, Sir? Eight o'clock tonight? At the hotel's office?" Ayu.

Juna took a deep breath. He leaned his body on the busway stop frame tiredly. His burden of life was already too heavy to accept one more offer.

The right offer is interesting.

Her life and marriage are in turmoil and on the verge of collapse. Then, now, Ayu, a beautiful Javanese woman with high devotion, invited her to meet? Juna's forehead was contorted.

"Sir? Hello?" Ayu's voice was ringing, asking. Apparently Juna was silent for too long, until Ayu began to feel awkward.

"Yes." Yeah." Juna Sahut.

"If you can't, that's okay. Sorry, I just got this. Tomorrow morning I have to go back to Solo again. So -"

"could. Okay. I can. It'll be night at your hotel, huh?" Juna cut Ayu's words.

"Okay, Sir. See you, yeah!" Ayu answered cheerfully.

Juna walked slowly out of the busway stop towards the big road. He sat for a moment on the garden divider on the sidewalk. Juna was silent. Luna and Ayu's faces flashed in his brain.

Juna walked slowly on the sidewalk. Mind raging.

In front of him is seen a famous pizza outlet worldwide.

Suddenly his eyes continued to be fixed on the stall, and stepped into the pizzeria.

Juna ordered a cheese pizza menu with a sausage rim, the largest size, and ordered two iced lemon teas.

Then after waiting for about 15 minutes, Juna ordered a taxi online. Head to Menteng Park.

Juna has made his choice. The choice to remain faithful to his wife who has taken pains to keep their child in the womb.

Juna got off the online taxi in front of Taman Menteng, which saw many children playing in the playground.

With a favorite cheese pizza Luna, Juna walks around the park, looking for his wife. He knew Luna would be here. This was the first place they met and exchanged glances.

Their meeting was quite strange. Back then, they were just the same as dating other people. However, each is uncomfortable with their partner.

At that time they were getting married on a blind date through a matchmaking application.

At that time, the man who was with Luna was buying drinks, and the woman who was with Juna was on the phone, Juna stole time. They exchanged glances for a long time, and they knew that they liked each other right then and there.

Juna gave the code with a gesture to contact with his hand while giving a piece of paper containing his mobile number.

Of course, Luna never contacted. She doesn't want to be considered a cheap woman. The day passed. Each of them had forgotten about the incident in the park.

However, fate brings them back together at a meeting in the campus library.

Like in a movie, their hands touch while trying to pick up the same book.

They were stunned, not expecting to see each other again. They laugh the same. Didn't expect, if they were one campus, and had just met.

Their relationship continues until now.

Juna looked at his watch. It has been 8.30 and he has been around Menteng Park several times, but has not found the figure of Luna. His forehead wrinkled.

"Did Luna lie?" Juna Mumbled. He now feels like the dumbest man in the world.

Juna decided to sit on a park bench. He put pizza next to her. He looked down, his hands covering his face. His body and mind are tired. Just this time, he really felt an overwhelming sadness. Eyes glazed. His heart is broken at this moment.
