Belongs to Other Women

Part 62's

Then Mama allowed all to enjoy the food that has been provided. Some of them sit on the dining table. Some of them sat on the sofa where we had gathered. Then the rest there are also those who eat in the backyard in the sun chair near the pool.

Jefri approached me while the others were cool with dishes on the dining table.

"Don't you January 11th?" he asked while pulling both of my hands, grasping tightly.

"What's the same date?"

"You forgot?"

I furrowed next to my brow, "What?"

"The 11th was the first date I felt attracted to you. After 2 weeks we're acquaintances." he explained.

I pursed my lips, "Ohh, why January? If it's not wrong we knew him this May, right?"

"Would you wait until May? It means that in 7 months we're just getting married." she put it in front of my face.

I reflexively shook my head quickly.

"Eat him in January." Smile.

"Aunty, Jordy could borrow that?" Jordy suddenly came to us and whined spoiled.

Jefri immediately took off his grip on me, then carried Jordy.

"Borrow, as long as you eat a lot. How's it?" bargained for.

Jordy whined annoyedly to get taken down, then ran crying to his mother. I pat Jefri's shoulder slowly.

"That's fine." then we walked to the dinner table to join the others for dinner together.

A few weeks passed.

Lisa POVS.

I woke up from my sleep. Cold sweat covers the entire body. My breath was heavy, I was bored. Like running a marathon while chasing a dog. I just had a nightmare. Terrible, insider.

I was still sitting on the bed, trying to catch my breath. While remembering the events in my dream. I'm thinking hard. Why do I dream of my best friend who will soon give up her single status?

I immediately stood up, walked towards the bathroom, then I wet my face. I should be happy for him. And it should again be a pleasant dream, not a terrible one like this.

As a friend, I know all about him. If there is a problem, he usually asks me for advice. As in the business of preparing for this wedding.

Choosing kebaya akad, reception dress, then party after ceremony until the catering business he always involved me. And so is Jefri. She always asks about Tika's favorite for me.

May all be well, my prayers are in my heart.

Ting.

Ting.

Ting.

My cell phone's voice.

I'll grab it, I'll see the screen.

Alex is :

Where's your darling?

Is today busy?

Let me go there, shall I?

I have the lyrics of the clock in my postel. Jesus at 11pm, my mind was shocked. I immediately replied to Alex.

Me :

Yes, at home, come here.

Alex is :

Okay 😘

I put my phone back. I quickly got up and cleaned up my bed, then went to take a shower.

Teeett..

Teeett..

Teeett..

I'm backtracking my footsteps.

The buzzer? So cute Alex arrived, my mind again.

Chequek.

"Loh Tika's.. Why your face? Uh come in.." as I open the door of my house.

Tika entered with his listlessness, then threw her body on the sofa of the television room. I was surprised to see it.

"Is Alex in the room?" it was almost inaudible.

"Huh? Alex? No, but he said he wanted to come here." I said then went to the kitchen to take a drink and gave it to Tika.

"Lu why? How lethargic?" ask me while putting my ass next to him.

"Haikal last night called."

"Truss?" i'm astonished.

Tika breathed a long breath, "Hm. Haikal squirms Jefri at his hospital."

"Jefri's in the hospital? How did Alex not tell the same story about the cave?" I panicked and started looking at him.

"Not Sa. Jefri is sick. Haikal, look at him coming to the hospital."

"So?" I'm getting confused and curious.

"Paula's son is in the hospital. And said Haikal, the child has been treated for 2 months." he explained.

"Emang Jefri never told you?"

"Earlier. Last month." Tika sipped her drink.

"Trus?"

"Hm. Gua thinks he's not going to look. Because when the cave asked, he said it wasn't important. That means no one needs to worry about the cave."

"Emang was a malem he did not say want to look at the child? Em, sorry if the cave is sassy, this is your privacy, the cave....."

"It's okay beb, I need your hug." Sheerly said, a drop of water fell in both corners of her eyes.

I hugged my best friend tightly. He's like my brother, the only one!

"Ssssttt.." I patted her on the shoulder, Tika started crying, vaping her heart.

There's nothing I can do but this.

**********

Alex POV's.

Today I decided to take Lisa to relax. Whether it's watching a movie or just a hangout. It seems like I haven't been to the mall in a long time. In the past with Rossi, almost 4-5 times a week to the mall, whether it was just to accompany him shopping or just take him to the salon.

It is very different from my future wife. Her plans after Jefri and Tika's wedding, I'm gonna ask Lisa to, too. His family now lives abroad. Yes, her aunt is friends with my mother.

I smiled to myself as I remembered how frustrated my best friend was. Choosing his life path. But now, I'm happy for him. The right choice to marry Tika.

Now I'm chuckling to myself in the car. Driving while remembering when I liked Tika. The person who really can't be guessed. Maybe if I were in Jefri's position, I would do the same. As soon as possible, tie Tika to the wedding. He does not deserve to be left to work alone, he must be paid for immediately, so that tidsk is too stressed.

And that's what I see right now with Lisa. I didn't think he was Tika's best friend. It was a coincidence. Lisa, who has been living alone, I have to live soon. And I will make the mother of my children, I thought.

I immediately parked my car into Lisa's yard. I saw Tika's car parked on the side of the road.

"So, Lisa didn't tell you that there was Tika?" I muttered as I went down the car.

I opened Lisa's door with the spare key Lisa gave me.

I saw them hugging each other. Tika was crying.

"Srsttt.." Lisa patted Tika on the shoulder.

I walked closer to them. Then sit on the sofa next to Tika.

"Udah.. That's it.." Lisa tried to calm him down.

"Why the hell?" my word.

Tika suddenly stopped sobbing, let go of her embrace with Lisa, wiped the tears on her cheeks and turned to me.

"Lu why Tik?" many wonder.

"Ga papa kok, just another bitingin nangis aja." he said.

I looked at Lisa, she just shook her head slowly.

"Okay, the cave sits behind me, you go on." I'm not comfortable with them.

I'll go out and smoke.

**********

Tika POVs.

"Why Tik?" ask Lisa when Alex is gone.

"Jefri's same cave, her relationship isn't like yours. Anywhere should report. Because the cave doesn't bother."

"Seriously lu? So all this time...."

"The belief system." as I.

"Trus today he's calling you no?"

"Hp's phone is off." I looked at Lisa.

Lisa stood up, pulled my sleeve, took me out to Alex.

"Which, Jefri was calling you?" ask Lisa, who is sitting next to Alex.

"Ep. There's nothing today." Alex replied confusedly, "Why?" while looking at me and Lisa take turns.

I sat down next to Alex.

"What the hell is it? Can the cave know?" alex is confused.

I lit my cigarette which I was holding.

"Jefri nemuin Paula" I said as I exhaled my first smoke.

"Memuin his son." ralat Lisa quick.

"What's the difference Sa? I'll see her ex too." sewotku.

"Yes yes, but it's not possible because of his ex. Must be the goal to meet his son."

"Well anyway, meet his son just as he met his mother." I'm annoyed.

"He's not a permit or a no?" ask Alex slowly.

"Both." Me and Lisa answered in unison.

Alex is speechless. He started his cigarette again.

"But wait, do you know where Jefri met them? You see?" alex asked to look at me.

I shook my head, "Sir cave saw him in the hospital."

Alex rubbed his mouth rough. He grabbed his cell phone lying on the table. Busy with his phone.

"The number's not active" Alex said suddenly.

I shove both my shoulders. We all fell silent. Busy with their own minds.

🎶

You so fuckin' precious when you smile

Hit it from the back and drive you wild

Girl, I lose myself up in those eyes

I just had to let you know you're mine

🎶

My phone rings inside the house.

I stood up and immediately took it inside.

I'm appalled.

Jefri.

I hesitated to take the call. While exhaling deeply, I slide the green mark on my screen slowly.

"Hallo." I replied trying to relax.

"Darling, where are you? Sorry yes this morning I did not pick you up to the office, you must be waiting."

"Well, papa, I didn't go to work today."

"Loh why? You sick?" voice worried.

"Not really."

"Trus?"

"I want to rest again."

"Well, did I go to your house?" his permission.

"I'm not home."

"Where is trus?"

"I-I.." I hesitated.

"Why are you, baby? From that, the answer was short? Oh I know, it must be from...."

"Udah first yes, I peed, dahh." as I and I immediately slide the red mark on the screen of my phone.

My heart rate is racing fast. My legs feel weak. I threw my ass at the couch. I never did this to Jefri before. Disconnecting the phone unilaterally. With the reason kebelet peed again.

I bite my lower lip while putting my phone on the table. I closed my eyes with both palms. Instantly, grains of water came out from both corners of my eyes. My heart hurts....
