"Yes. I heard Julio call Ms. Hani a special guest when she met her mother, while she was hospitalized. Strange, very strange yet divorced alone is so close to that other men. What's the motive if you don't want revenge on me?"
Dini's haunting accusation, clearly a look of malice on the face of the red-lipped woman. The mindset of a person is often the same as his personal character. A spiteful person will think others also harbour spite and grudges like it. I think he's caught in the shadow of the ugliness of his own attitude.
Maybe someone has to open wide the contents of the mind of Dini which is covered with lust and ambition to be aware. The woman who graduated from S2 abroad is indeed more beautiful than me, higher in rank and education. However, he forgot that physical beauty in the eyes of man is of no value in the eyes of God if it does not bring the good value of life.
"Bu Early! If I want, I can drag you and Mas Bayu into the realm of law. There is a law that can ensnare a married husband without the permission of the first wife. But what am I bothering for? I chose the court of God only"
"Heh, what do you mean I will be able to court God, carelessly talk," wrote Dini riled.
"Mom! It´s real. Don't you feel like you've done zholim? Your self-esteem is lost to where as a woman is able to seize the property of another woman. Uh, but maybe you don't have any self-esteem, do you?" my mouth was not able to keep my mouth up to say harsh words and the woman grinned unacceptable.
"How's grabbing? Your own husband will." Dini still does not want to be wrong.
Seeing the hard-hearted attitude of a beautiful woman in appearance but lack of morals makes me shake his anxiety, lazy to answer it again. Endless serving the sharp mouth of Early. There is still more important, I see Luluk seems silent since hearing Early remarks about me and Mr. Julio earlier.
"Luluk.." I whispered to my best friend and he just winked his shoulder while taking a short breath, his attitude made me anxious.
"Don't waste your time arguing outside of our projects. Take it easy I will continue to monitor the potential of branding on the market. We never bet a good name, our work is always the maximum." Finally Luluk spoke, he mediated the debate.
Early grinned again, he even challenged me to count the time, proving my workmanship or career would be ruined in his hands. He said he had a secret path to subvert my new career. Not enough to take my husband, he also wants me to lose, really lose to him.
Luluk who initially harbored worries for me, I saw him begin to dispel his rest and then switch to give me support. She whispered to me, "Stay sane, remain a respectable woman. Do not follow the madness of the woman, let her fight with her own anger. I think he's having a problem with Bayu, so he's venting that anger at you."
I nodded deeply, Luluk is indeed my best friend. He was not selfish even though he was suspicious of me but still took care of me as his best friend.
Luluk and I stared at each other, as if they had agreed to leave the room. We also got up from our seats.
"You're being polite, just look at the consequences of your attitude towards me later." Dini made a threat when she saw me and Luluk left the hot room.
****
"Is there anything you want to ask? Don't just shut up." ask me. We're on our way back to the office.
"Gmh". Luluk just muttered, making me feel like he was being punished.
"I'm sorry," I said, just apologizing for what I could hope to win my best friend back.
"Why apologize?"
"Eemm, I don't know what's wrong either, but I still want to apologize to you. I see you're quiet, are you angry?"
"Yes. Until you tell me why Dini accused you of approaching Julio."
I nodded in doubt, ambushed by the concern of choosing a word to tell Luluk. If honesty were going to destroy our friendship, then would I have to lie to remain her best friend? I cupped my hands to my face and hid in my palms for a long time while taking a deep breath.
"Luluk, we'll talk later at the office cafeteria and have lunch. Slow down the car, "I held back the pain of seeing Luluk overtaking the vehicles in front of him quickly.
As if not hearing me, Luluk kept on going. His gaze was only on the road, as if I didn't think I was with him at the moment.
"Sir Julio's my son's teacher." Finally I started giving the answer that Luluk wanted in between the speed of his car.
"I already know."
"First meeting at the hospital, I just found out he turned out to be very close to Fahmi."
"Yes, then you use that, do you?"
"No! Fahmi and I visited Ms. Dito in the ward and I was surprised by the way Mr. Julio introduced me to his mother, there was Dini there too. Really, Luluk, I wasn't flirtatious or flirting with the man," sniffled I said honestly holding the weight in my heart.
Luluk slowed down the speed of the car, turning to observe me who was stunned beside him.
"I still don't believe in accepting the man who approached, you must know what Luluk feels like? Betrayed is sick. My divorce is also in process, I need time to be able to marry again."
Luluk patted his car on the shoulder of the road, then chimed in my words, "If there's a good man who loves the green light, it's your sustenance, meeeen! Well, maybe I'll move out of this town instead of hanging up see you marry Julio."
"Luluk?"
"Yes. You think I'm like that Dini? Why call a man if it is clearly like you. I got this, same this." Luluk showed his head and chest, although a sense of disappointment was still visible in the pias of his face.
"Not far away, who knows we could be that honey." I'm starting to dare to bully Luluk.
"Just boy. There we will crave every day the money grab."
Luluk sobbed, but he also laughed.
"Apes is me, long time no find interesting man. Once upon a time, I liked my own friends first. What a sin, O God." Luluk tried to comfort himself while wiping his tears, making me look at the greatness of the heart of the woman who taught me to always be tough.
"What if we didn't have to be Julio's wife?" I said quickly.
"Don't be crazy, baby, it's a hell of a guy as good as Julio. If you don't want to, I'll go after the guy."
I just laughed, gratitude infiltrated my heart. Allah is All-Good, giving me strength through a friend as good as Luluk. If God had called me to testify to the last Yaumil, I would have raised the scales of kindness of the golden-hearted woman.
Actually, I would act like Luluk too if I were in his position. It seems like the concept of sustenance that will not be exchanged owners, so will the soul mate.
The almost electrifying day of the recitation of my friendship and Luluk brought my thoughts back to the memory of Mr. Julio.
That mature brown-skinned man, does he really want to wash lara in my heart? I am getting excited to improve my morals, is not being a wife who shalihah no knowledge? And I feel like I don't have anything.
