Alby
"Congratulations Feb, neng!", I said. Bia looked down and nodded thinly.
"Thank you, Mom!" said Febri.
I saw a flash of happiness on Febri and Bia's faces. It's only natural that I'm envious, isn't it?
That sight was once a dream for me and Bia. Having two twins, caring together and always happy. That was my dream and Bia's when I got married first.
But that hope was dashed because of me. I destroyed my own dream. And now, Bia's dream has come true even though she is no longer with me. In fact, Bia looks happier since she was with Febri. Febri really took good care of Bia.
I couldn't say much when Mak had a close conversation with Bia. However, they were once very close to surpassing mothers and biological children. Unfortunately, things have changed now. That familiarity has worn off with time.
If I hadn't hurt Bia, I might be as happy as they are. Nabil sits on Mak's lap. His outstretched hand rubbed the feet of Bia's child covered in a blanket.
"Whose name is Dede?", asked Nabil to Bia.
"This is Fesha, who is carrying Sri Dede Ribi's grandmother" Bia explained. Nabil just nodded. I don't know, maybe he really understands or just nods.
My eyes were turned to the figure next to Bia who had chosen silence from earlier, who else if not Amara.
"I took Ribi to the room!" said Ms. Sri, Febri's mother. We also allowed. After a few minutes, Amara asked for permission to go back. He really avoided me??

I saw how Alby looked at Bia. There is still so much love for a Bia. Then how do I feel?
Alby is a little different now. Did he start chasing me? I don't want to be big-headed or overconfident. It hurts me if later what I expect and think does not match expectations.
After coming out of the bathroom, I chose to join Aunt Bia and her mother-in-law.
"Here son!", said his aunt Bia.
"Yes aunty!", I said as I sat down on the chair.
"Call me Lek Dar. I am a village boy, ashamed of being called Aunt Heheh!", said Lek Dar.
"Hehehe yes, Lek Dar!", I said.
"Son Amara knows who I am?" asked Sri. I nodded and smiled.
"Yes Mom!", I replied.
"So, son Amara has converted?", asked Ms Sri to me. Again I just nodded and smiled.
"But, son Amara has no feelings for my son right?", asked Bu Sri suddenly.
Lek Dar furrowed his brows. As for myself, I was quite surprised by the attitude of Bia's bar-bars. Yes, even though I often hear him like that. But what I see, he loves Bia.
"Bu Sri!",lek Dar shook his head slightly. Maybe he was giving her a code.
"Em, no ma'am. I've considered Febri and Bia my best friends."
"Oh, that's good. How huh? You see, as a fellow woman, it is natural to be anxious. Moreover, son Amara has long enough to put the same heart of my son. Yeah, don't want su'uzon, but his name is heart who knows, right? The actor is more sophisticated now! Most of the actors are the closest people. I'm sorry, son Amara, if I'm being too honest."
I gulped my own saliva. Thank God, he's not my father-in-law. Hopefully, the attitude is good as you are Bia! My inner monologue.
Lek Dar massaged his temple. Maybe embarrassed by what the irony says. I try to keep smiling.
"Ngga Ma'am, I really just want to be friends with Mas Febri and Bia!", I reaffirmed.
"Alhamdulillah if so, but..kalo may know, why son Amara should resign? Isn't the rank of Nak Amara good enough?", asked Bu Sri again.
"Eum, it's Mom. I want to retire from the business world. And I hope papi to continue our family business."
"Oh, so. What a pity Nak Amara!", said Ms Sri again. I'm just smiling.
Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated like this??
I heard Alby's family say goodbye. Ms. Sri and Lek Dar went out to meet Alby.
"Mom, let me go to the bathroom first!", I said. Of course the two women allowed it.
After making sure Alby and his family came home, I just got out.
"Sorry, Bi. My stomach wasn't good!", I said to Bia. But it seems like Bia wants to tell me something.
He took me to sit on the couch, just the two of them.
"You're fighting with Alby?", he asked. I'm shaking.
"With Bi, I've only seen him since we met at Febri's station" I replied. Bia nodded, probably believing my words.
"Goddessa Bi. You too, are you one of the shareholders in the Alby Company?"
"Yes, but I don't work there. That's also my free love from the late Om Tama."
"You know enough about Tama?", I asked him.
He also told me about why Tama gave his rights in the company. I'm starting to understand now.
"Bi's night, you have to rest a lot. I'm going home?", my camera.
After saying goodbye to the residents of the house, I also came out of there. I parked my car on the front road.
As I was about to open the car door, someone pulled me up and led me to the side door.
"Alby???",manyou. He pushed me to sit on the passenger seat. He got into the car and sat behind the wheel.
"What the fuck is this By?", I asked. He did not answer, instead drove the car away from the Febri housing complex.
"Alby!", I snapped.
"I want us to talk!"
"Stop!"
"No, before we finish our business!", replied Alby with a frown.
"We have no business whatsoever! Come down on me! If you want to take my car, please! I can take a cab."
"What did you say? No business said you?"
"Yes!", I said briefly. Alby drove the vehicle in a different direction. Not in the direction of my house or his house.
"Where are we going, By!? I said put me down!"
"I want us to solve our problems."
"Stop twists and repeats the same word! There is nothing more to discuss between us. We have nothing to do and nothing to do. We're not that close!"
"After what happened this afternoon, you said we were nothing?" he asked, looking at me.
"I said forget about it! Think it never happened!"
"That's it?", he asked again.
"Yes. Forget it!", I said again.
"After what I did to you, you can still say forget it?", asked Alby in a raised voice.
"Yes, forget Alby?! Forget that! It's all out of your control!"
"really. It was out of my control!", he drove the car at high speed. The streets have started to be quiet and it's only natural that Alby brings his car quickly. And it turns out what? He took me to the apartment again.
"Why are we going to my apartment?"
"To finish what we have to finish."
"okay! If we have to talk, why not just stay here! Why go to the apartment again?"
Alby did not answer, but it turns out our car is already in the building area.
Alby got ahead of me in my unit. Why is it like he has it anyway???
I gave up on getting into my own room. It's almost midnight. Isn't this not good for two adults in a closed room like this? There is no bond between us! Even if the neighbors don't care, at least I remember God watching over me!
"What?", I said sitting on the sofa opposite Alby.
"I'll take responsibility for everything I did to you, right here!"
I gaped in disbelief, did he say responsible????
I laughed discordantly, I saw my watch that was showing almost midnight.
"Go home! If you want to take my car, please! Tomorrow my men can take it in your office!"
I stood up from the sofa, and prepared to step into my room. But not yet at the door, Alby pulled my hand. Makes me stagger and collide with his chest. His eyes were emitting anger that I had never seen.
"I want to take responsibility for what I did to you Amara!", said Alby with eyes still staring at me sharply.
