I'M BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

MY MEETING WITH HIM AGAIN

Vika was surprised to see me opening the door. I could not believe he finally came to our house after Ranti gave him a message that today we are giving thanks to father and father. This is my meeting with him again after the incident 5 days ago.

In his hand was a large package. Ranti immediately hugged Vika cipika-cipiki asking news of where she had been all this time. They walked into the house without caring about me. I just looked down sad.

I noticed that Vika looked more beautiful and elegant. It seems he started a routine treatment of his face and body. It looks like the difference.

We are busy with our own tasks. The event will last approximately 4 hours. Everyone has a duty including me who must be able to spread the carpet with Ranti's sister, Hardi.

Ranti, Gina Hardi's wife assisted Vika take care of consumption and snacks for the event later. While my father and father-in-law were busy compiling a box of new lunch menu coming from the catering where Ranti ordered.

I occasionally glance at the group of women just to see Vika's face. They looked so carefree with laughter between their small talk.

"Ran... what if one day Dika asked permission to marry again? How's your reaction?" suddenly Vika asked Ranti making me choke in shock.

"Hahaha.it's crazy!" Ranti laughed with Vika's question.

"If. Dika is pretty handsome, cool, hardworking. Who knows if there are girls who suddenly like it. Yes khan?"

"I honestly never crossed that thought because all this time Dika was the perfect husband for me. But if it had happened, I would have been ready long ago."

"I mean, Ran?"

"Originally you know, all our possessions like houses, cars, motorcycles, are in my name. And Dika did not question that at all. Actually, I did it just in case. If something happens or is true as you said, there is another woman in Dika's heart, I will not hold it. I let him choose. Me or him. If you choose him, please divorce me. And he can leave me. But with the notes... The orange is all mine. And also our property, I don't want to divide into gono-gini."

I'm blushing. My face is pale and my ears are hot. Ranti's answer seemed to slap me right in the heart.

I heard Gina laughing while giving two thumbs to her sister-in-law while praising Ranti with cool words.

Vika just smiled in response to Ranti's reply.

"You firmly refuse, Ran?"ask again.

"Yes! I wouldn't be able to accept it if Dika's dika split her heart and soul into another woman! No way, sori-sorori for that one.I balk at polygamy. There's no benefit, just more mudhoratnya."

They were silent especially Vika. But the atmosphere returned cheerful after Vika changed the topic of her conversation.

"Oiya, Dika! There's something I want to talk about." vika tapped me who was a bit closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Yes? What's up?" I answered a little nervous in shock.

"I want to buy a four-wheeled vehicle. There is something suitable. Second indeed, but still good and worth wearing. The price is 90 still nego. Thank God there are friends who know a lot about vehicles. And for the driver, I have one too. God willing they can help me!"

"Okay, I'm going to the bank tomorrow. Send it to your savings account 200 million. Enough?"

"That's mostly mas! But yeah, it's nothing. I also have to pay my house later this month. Thanks to you, mas! Sorry to have taken care of you!" I just nodded. I pretend to be busy with my job.

Ranti smiled reaching Vika's hand. Trying to make him understand that my rude attitude is actually just outside of him. Vika returned Ranti's smile while shrugging her shoulders. They turned out to have a secret body language signifies the chemistry between the two friends is so good.

While my heart was pounding remembering his words wanting to buy a vehicle. It's great! In a few days he can already get a friend where to share opinions for things that are quite heavy. And he didn't ask me my opinion at all. What a beautiful woman this one is!

I drowned in disappointment. How short his love for me is as short as the age of the corn plant. No, shorter than that. Hhh....

Many times I took a deep breath making my father turn and tell me to rest when I was tired. I comply. Come to the orange in the lap of mbok Sur, kiss him who laughs with joy. Then I went into the room. Rebahan.

This body and heart feel tired. I closed these eyes. Not sleepy. Just want to just let go of the unbecoming taste in my chest. I don't understand myself. My pain? Kuraba. It seems like the heat is normal.

I imagine Vika's old spoiled voice. The one who seduced him seduced me and brought me up to the height of the clouds. It caught my attention with so many styles and stories. Now everything slowly passed without a word. I'm sad.

Thinking about all that made my head throb. Be ill. Vika! I miss your old pot, Vika! I miss your mess with me like I used to. The cute ones don't care even though I always put on a jutek face and throw harsh words at you. I miss our debates that always end in a loud bang because we finally embrace. I miss your delicate touch Vika!

I don't dare to imagine if now you're turning to other men for love. And you slowly walked away from me because of that man. What about me? With this feeling that is also embedded in my heart like your old words?

What's with me? This all turned to me? What did you feel like this? And I used to be so cruel as to drop your dignity by commenting on your race on me. Is this really Vika's pain? I want to have but can't. I want to be with you always but I can't. I have Ranti and Orange. And who do you have? How about you go back to choosing the wrong guy for the umpteenth time. Is your heart still ready to be hurt? Vica....

Hhh.... I think too much about Vika.

The Thanksgiving event took place solemnly' and wisdom. Kulirik Vika who looks so sweet with a long-sleeved white dress with a lacy white veil. Looks like he brought a change of clothes. I think Vika likes white. His clothes are mostly white. And indeed he looks more charming in white.

Me, Ranti and Jingga wear uniforms. Javanese batik is milk brown, making us look elegant today. Guests chat for a while before the graduation after the lecture is over. We did not prepare a meal together, only cakes and drinks. Because I don't want Ranti to be too busy and exhausted. For that I suggest he order the cuisine from the catering only. So each guest gets a rice box and snack box before going home.

Our house was quiet again after the guests came home. We and our extended family still talk relaxed. While the women were busy tidying up the plates and glasses of the former event.

Vika came home to us. It makes me surprised to see him. Ranti didn't tell me to deliver Vika as usual either. Hhh... !! I took a breath again.

"Let me take you!" I said hurry to get the car keys.

"Ga, my mom! I can take a taxi online." refused Vika made me inflamed.

"Waaah, how great is Miss Vika now! It seems to have a new guy, so no longer like my help!" spontaneous cynical words spewed from my lips. Make everything there look at me.

"Mas! You are late. Hehe...." Ranti was trying to distract.

"All right! I'm asking you to take me with you, Ran?"vika holds Ranti's hand.

"Pastime! I am learning now. Have an interest in convection and boutiques. The seminars I attended all gave me inspiration and enlightenment. After that, our future planning is realized, Ran! Keep supporting me, right?"

"So sure, Vik! Spirit huh? Especially young business people who attend seminars are also handsome?" goda Ranti made Vika laugh by closing her lips.

"Husss.that's his bonus for the seminar, Ran!" whispered to my wife.

"Udah, what a handsome talk?" cut me off to Ranti and Vika making both of them blush in embarrassment.

I warmed the car for a while. Glanced at Vika who was sitting sweetly in the car seat next to my seat. His hands waved at father, Ranti, father, as well as Gina and Hardi.

"Later the day after tomorrow will take you to the airport?" my father told Vika.

"God willing, Vika try! Bye-bye, assalamualaikuum..."

We're sliding out the garage. Tracing the highway that has not been so jammed because it has not yet returned to work. I did deliberately make an event on a working day. Until I can take time off from the office.

Vika Anteng sat quietly. His hands are busy with his phone. Sometimes his lips smile staring at the screen and then typing something. He was chattingan like it. Hhh...

"Is that guy so good at seducing? Make you smile yourself like crazy?" many grumbling.

The one who was asked was silent and did not answer. Vika is too focused on her phone making me furious. I took the phone from his hand.

"What the hell, mas? I'm chatting with my seminar! Here, hpnya!"

I glared at him.

"Not men! That's a mom-mom group! Look at yourself if you don't believe it! You jealous? I didn't keep the man's number on my contact. Please check it!"

I follow his words. Parking the car on the side of the road that I think is quite quiet and safe. Open the hape contacts and observe them one by one. Just a little contact number. That's all the girls' names. I opened the what'app box. There's a srikandi seminar group. And it looks like Vika is talking in the group.

I looked at him relieved. Returns the phone back. Smile with embarrassment while saying sorry.

"Sorry only?" ask Vika with a ketus.

I'm looking down embarrassed.

"What would you say? Say aja. Put all your anger on me! I'll shut up and listen!" vika said it made me hold her fingers.

Vika resisting my touch made me flutter. Vika is not what she used to be. I got scared. Afraid of losing her.

"Mas thinks I'm as final as that mas? It's easy to go around looking for another guy after what we did the other day. You think I'm that big of a bitch? Quickly got another man I could carry a sleeping basket to satisfy my lust?"

"That's not what I mean, Vika!"

"I know what you mean, mom! I can read your mind! I am a woman with no status now. I am not a widow, but I am also unmarried. I've been through almost 4 months. But that doesn't mean I have to humble myself to all men to get attention and affection. No mas! Maybe I'm cheap in your eyes, mom! But I don't want to be looked down upon by men."

Vika is crying hysterically. It makes me panic and pulls her body into my body. I put his face in front of me. Spilled all his tears. He was crying so much.

"You're bad, mas! You're evil! After what we did, you just sent me a message not to think about the event. You said the error was first and last, and I should just forget it. Can you forget all that easily yourself, mom?"

Vika kept crying and scolding me. He was hurt because of me. And I just kept hugging him. Rubbing hair. Trying to give her understanding through my touch.

"What do I do, mas?" his moans hold my fingers. Squeezing her divided her heart's anxiety at me. And I was so anxious I couldn't speak. My heart and his heart are already in. Wrong indeed. Now is not the time to blame each other.

I wiped the tears on his cheeks. Smacked his forehead slowly. I let her body lean on my shoulder. Maybe this can dampen the sense of unease between us. Only our hearts speak. Words no longer mean anything to us. Sometimes I rub his shoulders trying to provide comfort and security for him.

"Say, you love me too!" said urges me. I swallowed spit. Kelu. But this heart repeatedly said love to him.

"You don't know how much my heart is already adrift Vika! I am not a man who easily speaks the word love. I'm not a man who is good at talking. You know that! You already know me!"

"Alaaah, this mas! Why is Cecil equally horrified your words are sweet!" vika made me laugh.

"Little? What are my words about Cecil?How sweet?"

"Yes, cecil's a good boy. Sweet, obedient same old man! Bla blah blah.."

"Lho it's koq! Hahaha indeed Cecil is a good boy!"

"Great nyebelin! Make me hot ears with your compliments to Cecil!"

I embrace Vika, kiss her fat while laughing.

"My turn, boro-boro is praised. Even cursed. Dipototin, jerking. It's called stupid, but it's crazy!"

"Already, already. Don't say anything more, if I don't kiss your lips, you kiss!" threatenku.

Vika kept nyerocos luring me into doing something like my threat earlier. I hugged Vika then kissed her seductive red lips. Let me make her happy this time. Gave her a little attention I shouldn't have.

In a row
