I immediately ordered a seat for two. This is the restaurant where Winda and I used to eat. I circulated my gaze digging up the stored memories when I was still with Winda.
I accidentally saw a man and a woman eating. They look familiar. I did not know the man, but the woman in front of him who now turned her back to me, it seemed that I knew him. I'm almost sure it was Winda even though I didn't see his face.
But where could the Winda be here? She must be busy at the stall or maybe at home with the kids.
I tried to convince myself that it wasn't Vinda even though I was somehow sure it was her.
"Mas, why did you pay attention to the couple?" Looks like Eva noticed me.
"It's okay, just eat!"
I finished my meal quickly because my mind was not calm. So did Eva, she did not chew her food and just swallowed it. We both finished eating together with the couple that I had noticed.
I turned my head for the last time to make sure that the woman was not the Winda. My heart stopped beating as soon as I saw the woman standing up and looking at me. He is indeed the Winda.
My heart rumbles. As if I didn't realize, I walked right up to him.
"Win ... What are you doing here? Who is this guy?" ask me without further ado.
I felt a burning emotion. I can't accept seeing Winda with another man. Am I jealous? Yes ... I'm jealous!
"Mas Adji?"
"What are you doing here? Who's she?" I repeated my question but in a high tone.
"I'm with whom it's none of your business!" answer Winda no less ketus.
"Of course it's my business! You are the mother of my children! You should be at home looking after the kids! You have a responsibility for them. It's not that being alone with men isn't as obvious as this!!!"
"Plakkk !!!"
Winda slapped me hard. I didn't expect him to dare to do so, let alone this in a public place.
"Dear your words!!! He's my friend is not an obscure man like you mentioned!!! And one more thing, I'm not in a daze, I'm not a cheap woman like your wife now!!!"
"We're leaving." Winda looked at the man with him and took him away.
"Win ... Wait Win ... I don't mean like that!" I tried to stop Winda.
"Mas Adji ... Where are you going, Mas?" Eva kept calling me.
But I don't care about Eva screaming. In my eyes there is only the winda.
"Win ... Wait ... " I managed to grab Winda's hand and stop her.
"You want to do something else, Mas? Just take care of your business, don't interfere in my business!!!" Winda threw my hand and ran away from me.
"Win ... I still want to talk." I tried to catch up to him but the man in vain and it got in my way.
"Don't interfere!!!" my grit.
"Of course I interfered because now I'm with him!" the man replied without fear of my bluff.
"You better get away from her!!!"
Then the man went after Vinda.
I went back to the restaurant to see Eva. Until then people looked at me with strange looks. I was overcome with emotion until I was unconscious and became the center of attention of restaurant visitors.
"Let's go home" I said slowly to Eva. I was embarrassed to see people watching me.
Eva looks upset at me. Naturally, I left him alone to pursue Vinda.
In the car, Eva and I were both quiet. I don't know what Eva thinks I don't know. Maybe he's angry or maybe he's scared of me because since I met Vinda I've been so cranky.
I felt my cheek that was slapped by Winda and thought back to my attitude towards him. Maybe I was wrong, had offended him. It's just not willing to be with other men, I don't think I'm ready to lose him.
Who is that guy? Why is it so soon that Willa gets my replacement? How far along is their relationship? Is that guy serious or just wants to play around with Vinda? Why is Winda so beautiful if she's just a friend? Questions ran through my mind.

Sinda
I agreed to Indra's invitation to have dinner with her. Not a date, just dinner as a friend. I've been getting ready. The kids I put in mom's place.
I wasn't waiting for Indra to pick me up. We met at the mall so I left. Arriving at the mall I went around for a while while waiting for Indra.
"I'm at the restaurant, where are you?" message from Indra.
"Wait a minute, walk away" I said.
I hurried to the restaurant. It wasn't me who chose this restaurant, it was Indra. This restaurant reminds me of Mas Adji but I had no choice when Indra brought me here. I can't possibly refuse and say this restaurant reminds me of my ex-husband.
I went straight into the restaurant and looked for Indra. I found him waving his hands at me. Then I approached him.
"Hi ... Been long?" much
"Mmc .... Just got."
Indra stood up and let me sit down. A few moments later the food came.
"Do you like eating here?" I asked while enjoying my meal.
"I used to come here with my ex-wife" Indra replied casually. "But even after I got divorced I still love eating here. Not because you want to remember your ex, but the food in this restaurant is delicious. Don't you?"
I nodded in agreement with what Indra said.
"Ndra ... Can I ask you a question?"
"Ask what beautiful? Just ask."
"Not to seduce me, I'm not so good with seduction!"
Indra laughs.
"What do you want to ask?"
And suddenly I forgot what I wanted to ask Indra. It must be because she called me beautiful.
"Heh .. ask me what is dumb."
"Not so .. forgot."
"Darling ... "
"Why?"
"Pretty senile."
I laugh. "Let's know Ndra, I've got two kids."
"If only I knew what it was like to have a child ." muttered Indra. "Eh ... Can I play at your house sometime? I want to know your kids."
"Can only ... "
"How old are your kids?"
Then I passionately told my children.
"Sori Win, your little boy is only a few months old. Are you divorced after giving birth? Or while pregnant? If you don't answer, that's okay."
"I split up when I was pregnant, and divorced after I gave birth."
I've been steady to open myself up, so there's no need for me to cover up. An ex is still an ex, he was once a part of my life, I will not be able to remove or hide from my life.
