Don't Blame Me

Hear Something

"Mother!" call Alvin when he sees Floren coming to his grandmother's house.

During these two days, Foryn left Alvin at his mother's house because of the woman's request. Alvin, who is four years old, looks happy with the arrival of the mother.

"Honey Mother ...," said Foryn as he stretched out both hands. He greeted Alvin who ran to him.

"Hold, Foryn! You can't cry." The voice came from inside Floryn's head.

Quickly, Floryn took a deep breath until her lungs were filled with air. For a few seconds Foryn held him back and then slowly threw it through his mouth.

Something that Foryn always did, as she was trying to hold back the tears.

"Mother ... Alvin kangen Bunda," he said again. Foryn won't get tired of hearing that. Something that strengthens itself. At least, for now.

"Same. Mother also miss Alvin." Floryn saw Enrik's handing watch curled around his wrist. It was one o'clock in the afternoon and he was hungry.

"Son .. You came. Is the job done?" asked Floryn's mother with a friendly smile framing the face.

However, instead of answering the mother's question, Floryn immediately hugged the body tightly and buried her face into the embrace. She tried hard to hold back the tears in front of her mother and child. Too bad, Floryn failed to do that.

"Son, what's wrong with you?" ask Martha's mother, who is Floryn's stepmother.

Floren just kept crying. He also did not dare to tell his mother the truth. She was afraid that her mother might have a heart attack like the one she had a few months ago. For a while, Martha let Foryn cry in her arms. Occasionally, he rubbed the top of Floren's head just to calm him down.

Then after a few minutes of crying, Floryn finally removed the remains of tears that were still attached to her cheeks.

"We'd better get in, yeah ... Alvin, try to get Mother's suitcase inside. It seems like Mother is exhausted" Martha said to her only grandchild.

"Yes, Nek ..," said Alvin with a confused face.

The three of them enter Martha's tiny house, and Martha locks the door again.

Foryn wiped away the remains of her tears. He knew he had made the mistake of crying in front of his mother and son. Now, what would he say if the woman asked?

***

Tonight, Floryn is in front of one of her best friends. Cika is the only friend who is so understanding to listen to the complaints of Floren.

Cika often shares stories with Floren. And vice versa. All the stories that were between them, never leaked to anywhere. They swear if all that talk, only they know.

Three times Foryn tried to contact Cika. Unfortunately, the woman did not answer his calls. They had already planned an appointment.

"Where, anyway? What else to play with her husband, huh?" floryn's inner still sitting behind the wheel.

Finally, Foryn got down from there and pressed the doorbell of the friend's house.

But the door of the house was unlocked. Suddenly, Floryn's heart was racing. He heard something he should not have heard.

"Damn ... Why am I here when they are still eating, anyway?" foryn's regret in his heart.

Floryn just wanted to get out of there and close the door. However, the next thing he heard made Floryn back in shock.

"Jack .. please .. I want to arrive ...," Cika said so pleading.

Floryn was shocked.

"Who's Jack? What's Cika doing in the room?" inner Floryn panicked.

Cika is married. However, her husband was named Herman, not Jack. Who is the man who warms his best friend's bed?

Cklek!

The sound of the door opening behind him, made Floryn gasp in shock. He turned around and found Herman coming in with a package in his hand.

"Floryn?!" It seems Herman was surprised by the presence of Floren there.

"M-Mas Herman? Mas?"

"What are you doing here?" ask Herman who's already blocked Floren's hand and pulled him out.

"Mass? I-it ...." But Foryn stopped his words. He could not report his own friend. However, Herman will also enter the house. He will know everything, however.

In front of Foryn's car, Herman brushed off his uninvited guest's hand.

"What are you doing here?"

"I made a pact with Cika. But ...."

"Go home. Let's just say you've never been here."

However, instead of getting into the car, Floryn's netra was fixated on the figure that had just appeared on Cika's door.

The characters are Cika and Jack. Both of them came out like nothing had ever happened inside. Jack's gaze met with Foryn's surprised gaze.

"Flori? What are you doing here?" ask Cika worried.

However, before Floryn could answer the question, Cika immediately pulled Foryn to enter his house. Leaving Jack and Herman outside the house.

Foryn brushed off the friend's hand. "What happened to you guys?!"

Seriate.
