Belongs to Other Women

Part 45's

Month passed. I had the day as usual. Morning go to the office, sometimes lunch with Lisa. Sometimes I have lunch with a client. Then in the afternoon, go home.

Sometimes at night I go for a hangout or a coffee. But not in the usual place anymore. I found a new, more comfortable place to enjoy my cup of coffee. Really a small, cozy and even full place won't make my ears stiff.

There is no silent mode on my phone. All numbers and all accesses related to Jefri have been blocked. After I had time to reply to her chat, asking her to no longer appear before me or intending to approach me if she realized her mistake.

My life felt like it was before, before I knew him. I can be more assertive now. More legowo. More patient and more visa control nafsuku.

Max and Haikal also come home more often if the weekend. Sometimes, even if one of them is busy can not come home. We will plan for family dinners at restaurants close to their area.

But 1 thing that until now I can not avoid. Max, Haikal and Mamah will be very excited to talk about Jefri. Yes Max already knows if Jefri is his friend Nando, his Level Brother in the old office.

"Where is Jefri Mah, still going home often?" Ask Max.

"Udah rarely, even this one has long never appeared again" replied Mama sebainanya.

"Yahuuk! Can you change the topic of discussion please?" I'm polite.

"I'm going to Mamah instead of you, so you're calm, you're eating a lot.."

I exhaled a rough breath. Piqued.

Lisa POVS.

"Why do you want to meet the cave here?"

"Sorry if the cave disturbs your time Sa. The cave just wanted to ask Tika news." said Jefri with my eyes.

"Lu haven't seen Tika yet?"

"The cave number looks like it's on the block just like him. All medsos too. The cave just wants to know how he is, that's it."

"Good intikas. He works normally. Nothing has changed. Just 2 days ago the cave met him."

"He ain't got no story?"

"Ga there's Jeff. Emang you make a mistake what the hell is the same Tika so until he did that? Pake the show block the number of everything."

"Gua is fine with him. Last time I saw everything was good. The cave......"

"Lu love Tika, Jeff?" as if.

"G-gua doesn't understand." Jefri lowered his face, "Gua.ga is sure of his own cave."

I'm too kasian to see Jefri's condition, "Gini deh Jeff, ntar afternoon cave to go to Tika's house. If you want, you come to ntar. Gua tau terribly, Tika ga may ngusir guests, he also may not want to meet or use reason so you do not meet you, how?"

"So he suddenly got angry with the cave how?"

"Yes you are self-introspection, what makes him more sprained. You must know, you two deket. If the cave just knows you."

Jefri looks to shake his head.

Honestly until now I actually do not know they both have a relationship like what the end is like this. Is it impossible to just be friends?

Paula POVs.

I haven't seen Jefri in a week. I call, sometimes there is no response, sometimes even though the response must be busy.

This past month I think Jefri's been changing. We never walked alone again, no three with my son, Paul. He seemed to be moving away. Looks like I should meet him.

I'll get my phone on the dinner table. I pushed his cell phone number.

Tuuut..

Tuuut..

Tuuut..

Tut tuut tuut..

I dial it again.

Tuuut..

Tuuut..

Tuuut..

"Hallo?" answer it across there.

"Hallo Papi, what else?"

"I'm busy working, call her later.."

"Mimi wants to talk seriously, can we see you?"

"When?"

"This afternoon can be Pi?"

"just 15 minutes, as I rest, I also want to say something important."

Degs.. Degs.. Degs...

My heart was racing as soon as I heard his words. He also wants to talk about something important. I was silent for a moment.

"Later I'll send you the address where we met" he continued.

"Udah was yes."

The phone connection was turned off unilaterally. My heart's full. The way he talked has changed. What am I supposed to do?

Before long my phone rang, there was a chat coming in. Jefri sent the name of a restaurant in the mall, where we would meet.

Jefri POV's.

After Lisa gets home, I'm still here waiting for Paula to come. I asked the waiter to clean my desk, especially lifting Lisa's used coffee cup.

Yes, I must immediately break my relationship with Paula. A relationship that has no end. A relationship that is no longer possible for me to struggle with, because after all, Paula already has children and cannot feel like if I have to meet the child's father someday.

Not only that, many of my other considerations until I made this decision. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with this relationship. Like there was no more taste for him.

"Old old?" paula Tegur.

"Ga too. Sit." Sit."

"Papiii, Paul misses Papi" Paul said, clutching his body to me.

I smiled wryly, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's up to Mimi, let Mimi choose, Paul will go there, can Mi?"

"Yes, but be careful, don't touch anything!" ban Paula from her child.

I just watch while smiling once in a while. Paul walked away to the store next door. Fortunately next to this restaurant is a toy store.

"Why take Paul with you?" ask me to open the conversation.

"When there's an event, so no one's looking after Paul, so I have to bring it." Paula explained flatly.

Looks like Paula's way of speaking is starting to compensate for my way of speaking, my inner self.

"What are you talking about?" paula said again.

"Liet, we eat first." said I who still try not to look at him.

I try to stay busy with my phone while waiting for our order to arrive.

When our order arrived, Paula immediately looked for her son in the shop next door. I started eating my lunch. Paula came to hold her child and sat down while feeding her child.

In my mind, I want a child. But the son of my seed, not the son of anyone else. I solidified my intention to end this relationship with her when the meal was over.

"Mi, Paul's playing next door again huh?"

"This is not over eating.."

"Udah was full of Mi." said Paul half-screaming then ran back to the next store.

"Can I ask you something?" paula told me.

"Yes?"

He opened his bag, took out a plastic parcel and then thrust it at me, "Who's this?"

I open the plastic, then I take the contents, blazer. I seem to know who this belongs to, my inner self.

"I found you in your car, in the back seat, under my bag, when you antedated me to the airport. Intentionally I bring it, let me just let me have the proof." he explained again.

"I don't think I need to explain anything to you. I don't think our relationship can be maintained anymore. To the point, I want us to break up. We know very well so we've done well too." I said.

"Well you can't gini dong, I just know who this is? Not that I'm accusing you, I'm not jealous, I'm just...."

I smiled, Paula stopped her own sentence, "I ask for your understanding. I'm not comfortable with our relationship."

"Where is my fault? We're...."

"Ga something's wrong. We are all grown up. Anyway if we continue there is also no end." as I.

"Yes, but all this time we can always solve the problems of both of us, right? We both learn. I've never asked you to macem." explained Paula, holding my hand.

"I want us to be all right. But our relationship cannot be broken. That's it." I explained again while releasing my hand.

Paula shed her tears.

"Mimiiiii, I bought this selfish auntie of a toy." cried Paul who while running towards our table.

Paula immediately wiped her tears, "Aunty selfish?"

"Yes the aunt." pointed Paul at the two female figures standing not far from our table.

"The aunt who used to buy dawet ice!" yells.

I looked at Paul's tiny index finger. Curious who kind-hearted selfish aunt bought Paul a fairly large toy.

"Why??" seruku shocked.

"Boy knows a selfish aunt?" paul asked innocently to break my surprise.

I can't speak. The gaze of my eyes returned to the figure of Tika who was looking at us. When I decided to stand up, Tika pulled Metta's hand and immediately left from there.

"You familiar?" said Paula pulling my hand.

I'm speechless..
