Meeting Old Friends

"A plane ticket home has been changed to the day after tomorrow, right?" ask Lisa who packed Mas Ray's stuff. Her husband had been trying to pack to move to Batam but it was a mess. Dirty clothes he did not fold so it takes up space. There is no separation between clean and dirty clothes. Lisa, upset to see him, takes over the job.

"Yes," answered Mas Ray who was busy playing his phone, "who, later would not want to meet friends at work?" continued.

"Cowok what chick? If Lisa's girl Temenin if guys mas go alone deh. Lisa's body is so tired" Lisa smiled.

"Girl" said Mas Ray smiling.

"Okay Lisa temenin."

Ray laughed, "Gemes. A friend of a guy who is married. You can talk to his wife. They know mas to Batam with wife. Not good for your own."

"Yes who. I'm temenin."

"OKAY. Thank you" said Mas Ray smiling.

Lisa nodded with a smile. He should not be selfish just because he is tired. Her husband needs her to accompany him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At 5pm they arrive at the hotel. Mas Ray who enthusiastically met his best friend immediately took a shower. After Maghrib, they will be picked up by Mas Ray's friend named Mas Rudi. Lisa chose to take a short nap while waiting for Mas Ray to finish bathing.

Just fell asleep for 10 minutes, her husband's voice teased her. "The one who wakes up. Be prepared longer than you. Rudi and the family will pick us up."

Lisa opened her eyes and followed her husband. Exit the bathroom azan reverberating. They prayed and Lisa got ready quickly. Use only powder, eyebrows, mascara, and lipstick. Lisa was annoyed to hear Mas Ray's ramblings asking her quickly because Mas Rudi was waiting.

"I'm sorry I forced you to come along and asked you to hurry up and get ready" said Mas Ray holding Lisa's hand as they exited the room.

"Yes. Next time if you make a promise with me that requires Lisa to come, please do not fit anymore tired."

"Yes. Our time in Batam is just a little. Rudi can only tonight. So, I immediately threw it away. Sorry about that."

Lisa smiled, "Yes dear."

When chatting with a partner when there is a problem without igniting the fire surely a relationship will be fine. Communication with an unemotional partner is the key to any problems that occur. Learning about marriage over the past month has changed her life a lot.

"Come on Ray," said Mas Rudi opened the glass of his car. His wife, who was sitting next to him, was holding a smiling baby.

Lisa greeted with a smile.

"Okay rud," said Mas Ray then he opened the car door and let Lisa in first.

Mas Ray Salaman while asking about Mas Rudi and his wife. Lisa cheers them on. The car drove out of the hotel area. The three of them talked about their co-workers at the hospital and Mas Ray's family. It turns out that his wife Mas Rudi, Citra Kak, Mas Ray's co-worker as well.

"How does it feel to be married to Ray, Lis?" asked Kak Citra while holding her son's pacifier.

"Five days of marriage was observed to run exciting, brother," Lisa laughed.

"Still young you are invited to marry a widower, Lis," said Mas Rudi laughing.

"You guys just told me to move on and find a new wife. Now there is my bully wife," said Mas Ray smiling.

"Married to a widower instead of brarti Lisa wasted her youth. My husband helped me a lot in my maturation process as well" Lisa smiled.

"Thankfully Ray lo dapet Lisa. A good person and a good mother for Arumi" said Citra.

"Yes right. This time I'm sure I won't choose again," said Mas Ray smiling to see Lisa while embracing her. Lisa was embarrassed to hear it.

They sit in a seafood restaurant located on the beach. The wind ripped through Lisa's unraveling hair. Sekar, who is only 3 months old, sleeps in the stroller next to him with a thick blanket. Lisa looked at the baby with a smile. The baby's face was as beautiful as a doll.

"Pengin has a baby Lis?" asked Citra laughing. He noticed Lisa's behavior.

Lisa smiled, "Strong is too pretty. Worrying about him makes me smile."

"You're not mundane, are you?" ask Mas Rudi.

"It used to be a proposal, Lisa Sempet did not want to have children. There was Arumi. But our marriage is not lost."

"I'm the same Rudi from the beginning of marriage never procrastinate and always want to have a baby, 3-year-old Newborn wedding Sekar end of last year. Although there is already Arumi, it will certainly be different to have a child from birth already in your hands Lis," said Kak Citra smiling.

"It's hard not to take care of the baby?" ask Lisa curious.

"Don't think about it hard. Think of the joy of caring for a child. If the papi want to help me ngerawat Sekar always talk, 'thank you already be a good mother for Sekar,' seriously tiredness ilang," said Kak Citra saw Mas Rudi.

"Gue learned from Ray about it" said Mas Rudi laughing.

Sekar, Lisa, and Mas Ray laughed.

Lisa became curious, what kind of man cheating ex-wife Mas Ray to be able to dump her husband. Is it more handsome, considerate, romantic, or richer than Mas Ray? Just like his cheating dad. She doesn't remember her papa's cheating face, but Lisa knows her mother is a good person and wants to take care of her little family. Maybe people who cheat do not feel gratitude towards their partner.

Mas Ray had left for a while while waiting for their order to come. Lisa tries to get along with both of Mas Ray's co-workers who turn out they were friends while in medical school as well. Lisa asks how was Mas Ray's life. Mas Rudi tells Mas Ray when working every time there is an empty time to call his mother who was then looking after Arumi. Pas Arumi grew up always mention the word mother because his playmates have a father and mother. It's sad to be responsible as a single parent. Mas Ray came back along with the food they ordered came.

"What," said Mas Ray as he sat down.

"Yes?" ask Lisa.

Mas Ray was shedding Lisa's hair. "Let's eat you comfortably" he said.

"Thank you" said Lisa.

"Yuk eat," said Citra.

There are several kinds of seafood. There are shrimp, cuttlefish, and gourami fish. They take it in accordance with the light and then eat together.

"Lo just go get me a pussy?" ask Mas Rudi while eating.

"Yoi. Comfortable wife happy husband Rud," said Mas Ray laughing.

"Oh yeah Ray, why don't you want us to come when you're married?" ask Brother Ratih.

"You guys have a baby. Yes, you can get on a plane but will be bothered. Pas Sekar has been a bit big you play to Solo," said Mas Ray.

"Where's pi? Exciting the moment Arumi met Sekar. The last time I met Arumi was still kissing Sekar in my stomach," said Kak Citra towards Mas Rudi.

"Gemes yes brother. Krucil-krucil met," Lisa smiled.

"Yes, really," replied Citra.

"OK, we set the time mi," said Mas Rudi smiling to his wife. "Pengin to Jogja also nih Ray," he said accompanied by a laugh to Mas Ray.

"Every boss," said Mas Ray smiling.

After dinner Mas Rudi and Kak Citra drove Lisa and Mas Ray back to the hotel. A short meeting that treats the longing of two friends who a few months do not meet. Mas Ray and Mas Rudi hugged each other while saying goodbye. Temporary farewell. Mas Rudi and Kak Citra promised to visit him in Solo.
