He's Not Mine

34. Rest Story

Resti looked pretty devastated. I wanted to get close, to love her, to be her back, but I couldn't do it now. What does Resti think of me like? Not angry with me.

“Mam, don't daydream!” Mas Joko patted my shoulder.

“Owh, yes. Kasian Resti yes!”

“She still likes you Mam!”

“I still think of Mas Joko yesterday, when yes I became the trigger of the quarrel Resti and her husband. I have not seen Resti or her husband in years. I always try to be sincere and stay away from them.” I explained to Mas Joko.

“But Irvan is always jealous of you!”

“Where does he know that I have a relationship with Resti?”

“Maybe from mbak Resti himself, I also don't know.”

“How long was Resti dating Irvan until finally getting married?” my many.

“Irvan was his old girlfriend mbak Resti, from the school days first.”

“That's off-again huh? Have I ever been in their midst? Really ribet my position ya!”

“What makes Mbak Resti really like you?”

“Do not know also Mas. After knowing Resti was married, I stayed away from him even I had dated other women.”

“So now you have a girlfriend? When to marry?” ask joko.

“Have had a girlfriend, but do not know when her marriage, ha .. ha ...”

“Don't tell me you're intentionally waiting for Resti to be a widow, Mam!”

“Why the hell does everyone say that? I am not married yet because it came his soul mate, not because I wait for Resti to be a widow!” pissed me.

“The fact is so, Mam. But actually the Commander and mother prefer you over Irvan.” Joko looked at me.

“What the hell, there's no way that! If the commander prefers me, why would he marry Resti to Irvan? No need to entertain, Mas.”

“Bene, Mam. Ma'am Resti got married on her own request. Mbak Resti himself who insisted wanted to immediately marry Irvan at that time. I think he wants to get married quickly, but you are still in Lebanon. Though his father does not agree with Irvan.”

“Means Resti is not serious as I used to be huh?” there was a sense of disappointment filling the chest.

“Maybe the charm of Irvan was greater than you who were far across. That's what's called a heart, it's easy to change. There's Irvan, I love Irvan, Irvan's gone, you're coming, so she likes you. Irvan comes, you go, back to Irvan, Now that Irvan is not around, I'm sure he can come back with you again!” Mas Joko smiled at me.

“Yes if he wants to be with me, whose soul mate knows. Although both like not necessarily a mate, Mas!” lirih. 

“Do not be pessimistic, chase until you can. I'm sure you can full support from the commander and mother.”

“Comfort once Mas! But I can't believe it!” I sneered at Mas Joko, she laughed instead.

“Peach, Mam. Now you do not get close to mbak Resti and his extended family. Besan Commander seems to be angry with Resti and you!” joko warned.

“Lho, what else? I do not know her in-laws Resti, kok musuhin.”

“Your name has been very viral between the two big families.”

“Try honest talking, Mas!”

“So, Resti who requested marriage with Irvan. At first the Commander and mother did not approve, but because Mbak Resti nangis-nangis asked Irvan to marry finally the Commander allowed. But I think Irvan likes to get drunk, so mbak Resti likes to get angry.”

“Means their trigger is noisier because Irvan likes to get drunk, not me!”

“Gak, I heard, Irvan is often jealous of you. Drunk is just a distraction. Not only Irvan, his family is also jealous, revenge is with you.”

“Mas Joko added origin.”

“Bene, Mam. I'm not lying."

I scratched the hair that did not itch, what did Mas Joko say. 

"I think it's serious!" Hendrik was sitting next to me.

"Your commander is upset again" joked Joko.

Hendrik nudged me, "wait another four months, apply directly, must be accepted Ndan!” Hendrik.

“It's not that easy, now I just know that this problem is very complicated.”

“What the hell?” Hendrik turned towards me and then towards Mas Joko.

“Your commander does not believe that he who often makes Resti and her husband quarrel,” mas Joko opened the story in front of Hendrik.

“Masa?” Hendrik.

“Mas Joko sometimes likes to digress by the way, Ndrik! Don't easily believe!” my exposition.

“I know everything from the Commander directly. He when talking mbak Resti, likes to be sad himself. Irvannya not really, mbak Resti must confide in her as the mother continues to be sampled to the Commander. So I know clearly everything,” mas Joko does not want to be blamed.

“Iya, but everything is weird Mas!” I still don't accept it.

“What's up?” Suryo and Frans approached.

“Kata mas Joko, I made Resti and her husband quarrel until the accident. Where possible? I never saw them again when I found out that Resti was married! already broken up, no connection at all!” I'm trying to explain this misunderstanding.

“I'm not lying, Mam!” mas Joko kelit.

“Mas Joko know where it all came from?” search Suryo.

“Commander who stories instantly. Info valid!” answer me Joko.

“Means you have to keep your distance now, Mam!” Frans.

“From first also keep the distance. You guys brought me here!” I got upset myself.

“Tadi Suryo story seconds before her husband Resti enter ICU,” added Frans.

“Yes already, we go home now!” pissed me.

“Now go home, four months we are ready to apply!” Hendrik smiled, then I shook his head and walked towards the car.

Along the way Hendrik told me about what he heard from mas Joko, Suryo added occasionally, it felt sick to hear the reality.

“I think Irvan used to be good, college in America made him change style. Resti considers Irvan is still good as before, it turns out it can even zonk.” Frans gave his opinion.

“The name is also already in love, the storm was fought.” Hendrik looked at me through the windshield, but I threw my face away.

“I guess, let Resti alone solve the problem with the Commander and his in-laws, while we don't get close first!” suryo. I stared angrily at Suryo then turned to look at the window.

“Lho? How to craze?” suryo said that made the whole car laugh out loud.

“If you want to know do not need to invite me again!” I said, I'm still angry. Obviously I was deliberately away from yesterday but was forced to visit Irvan to make him critical and died. Now invited again tahlilan, the original did not want much, but they still maksa. Look at it later if I succeed macarin Resti secretly, they must be shocked, I smile inwardly hiding anger.

My phone rang, I opened it. Call from Lita, pick up, will you? Another car with the rest of the people. Call stopped then rang again, “Who's Mam? Colonel Firm yes?” ask Suryo.

“Not!” I put the phone in the pocket but the call came in again.

“Thanks, Ndan!” Frans. Maybe more than five times the phone rang, then I pulled the phone out of the bag that Suryo immediately seized, “phone from the student turned out," Suryo directly picked up the phone, ⁇ halo!”I tried to take it but got blocked by Suryo's body. Suryo raised a voice on my phone, There was a sound of sobbing on the other end of the phone. “Map can come here now no?” lita's voice was a bit hoarse from crying.

“Can!” suryo, Frans and Hendrik answered at the same time, then the phone was closed from across the street. After the phone was cut off, they all laughed. 

“Satisfied?” tanyaku pretended to be angry while seizing the phone from the hands of Suryo, but yes happy also expected his arrival by the beautiful Lita.

“Ndrik, we go to the sorority area. Curious I'm the same college student Gebetan Commander!” Frans ordered Hendrik to drive the car.

“Ready!” hendrik answered back and then drove the car faster.
