One more night Cakra will pass without Berti's presence. But Cakra remained in the room, as long as his wife had not slept. After finishing a glass of milk and a piece of cake, Berti spent his time reading novels on a mobile phone.
Cakra has confirmed that it is an electronic novel not a message from Banyu. Sometimes he peeked at what his wife was laughing at. Sometimes Berti also drifts in anger, and it seems Cakra also has to read a novel to know how to pull it a story written by a fiction writer.
"If the wife calls her, she has to wear honey, baby, honey, my heart, my love, my soul" Berti said.
Cakra held back laughter, and somehow he wanted to hear his wife's genitals. Cakra knows that married couples only call 'mama and papa', and the Berti call is only for young people. Cakra had heard his college friend calling his partner that way.
"I call you mother, will you?" ask Cakra.
Berti. "As far as you."
Cakra was clumsy to call Berti that name, even though he himself made the request.
"It's night, go to sleep" said Cakra.
"You're going home, right?"
"My wife is here, why go home?"
"Go home" said Berti.
The chakras exhale long. "I'm home now."
The chakras move from the bed. Hoping it was Berti forbade him not to go home, and it turns out his wife did not want it.
"You really want to be with Banyu?" ask Cakra.
"I haven't expressed my feelings, but I do intend to part from you regardless of whether I'm with Banyu or not." Berti looked at her husband. "Why? Are you not able to ignore me anymore? It's only been a few days, then what about me you've ignored for months."
"I was guilty at the beginning of our marriage. You know, we didn't know each other at the time. I want us to be comfortable together, then have a relationship" Cakra said.
Cakra did not want to reveal the real reason why he did not want to touch Berti, even though he was eager to feel the pleasure of the world with his partner at that time.
"I've just been in a relationship with you and we're getting married" Cakra said.
"That's just your excuse. Go home, be careful on the road" said Berti, then lay down and pulled a blanket over him.
The chakra pulls the key, then exits the room. He closed the door a little loudly signifying that he was indeed upset over the words of the wife.
Berti lowered the blanket, he snorted. "He said he wanted to call mom, but go home instead of saying goodbye."
...****************...
Berti misses his best friend this one. Sari visited in the morning and they spent time with breakfast together. Sari already knows the problems experienced by her best friend today even though they have not had time to meet face to face because of busyness.
"Today I'm off work, so early in the morning I'm here. I miss you too" said Sari.
"Oh, kirain is busy courting. How do you get into a relationship with someone younger than you?" ask Berti.
"What, anyway?" Sari was even shy.
"Start not being honest. Are you really dating Arjuna?"
"We're just walking, anyway. It's not good to date him because we work in the same place. I am the superior, while he is the subordinate," said Sari.
Berti nodded, understanding why Sari was hiding her relationship with Arjuna. I hope the two find a solution to be together.
"I want it to be. I've consulted with a lawyer. Unfortunately my parents didn't want to help. You helped me get divorced with Cakra."
Sari took a long breath. "What kind of husband do you want, anyway?"
"You know for yourself the chakra is how it is."
"It's because of Banyu, right?"
"It's not because of Banyu, Sar. I really can't stand him," Berti said honestly.
"Honestly, yes, Bert. If I were you mending me with Cakra, deh, rather than Banyu," said Sari.
Berti frowned. "You changed again?"
"Try you give me a reason, why did you break up with Banyu? Remember that reason, Bert. You don't like Banyu who is too friendly with other girls, right? You broke up for a career, and now you want to be back with him. Are you sure that Banyu will be loyal to you?"
"We also no one knows. Cakra could have cheated on another woman. The higher the tree, the higher the storm," said Berti.
"But we know that your husband is hard to tease. Near other girls he's lazy" said Sari.
"Nothing is like that, Sari. If a man already feels powerful and rich, his future will be so."
"Are you sure Banyu will be faithful? You will get hurt from jealousy. No one is perfect, Bert. We also do not know in the future how," said Sari. "I don't want to interfere with your marriage, I know you eat the same heart as the walking statue. I mean don't take the bad side. Take a look at the bright side of the Cakra."
"You, why, defend him?" Berti's a little upset.
"Not defending, but I don't want you to choose wrongly. Didn't that chakra hit you, talking you in the back? No, right? Even though you keep complaining. I think you're here who wants a lot" Sari said blatantly.
Sari's words so pierced Berti's heart. Indeed, all this time Cakra had never said anything to his parents about him who wanted to be with Banyu. Cakra always believed in him. Where else would you look for a husband like that? Berti felt guilty.
"Am I complaining a lot? Did I get his attention wrong?" ask Berti.
"Not wrong, Bert. As women we want to be like that. Back again if all we want, we do not have to get. Actually from ourselves, grateful for what is not given," said Sari.
Sneered. "Am I that bad?"
"Why are you crying?" Sari scratched her head which was indeed not itchy. "Cakra is wrong too, Bert. He should also understand what you want. I need to talk to your husband."
Berti. "No, let me talk to him."
"Don't be angry anymore. Give Cakra a chance once again. Who knows, he has changed. Spend less attention on you."
"I want to make lunch for him" Berti said.
"Love a surprise for your husband."
Berti smiled. "I'm going to his office."
"Come, you get ready," said Sari.
Remember the words of Cakra if he only wants to get married once in a lifetime. Berti wants that too. She would give her husband one more chance.
