Lightly Longing
Because of Ice Cream



I looked at Arini from the balcony. He was immediately embraced by Zaki. Arini looked silent and like a living statue.


Perhaps, his two children were the material consideration he survived all this time. The proof, he always makes out with other men in the afternoon.


I folded one hand at the waist, another hand holding a cup. Breathing in fresh air. Arini turned to look at me while nodding, Zaki also followed Arini's gaze. I reply with a smile.


Actually, I'm nervous. Tomorrow will come, even if you want it. I was worried about Satria's heart. Satria, still giving me a living. Based on law and religion, during the iddah period the ex-wife is obliged to earn a living iddah.


I went in to close the balcony door of the slide model, grabbed the bag also outer to just walk around avoiding complicated thoughts and worry about tomorrow. Although not much, the money Satria sent was enough for my living expenses.


I walked leisurely to the minimarket near the complex. The usual security guard greeted the middle around to maintain security.


"Sore, Ms. Ananta," said softly from the top of the motor that was running very slowly.


"Sore, Sir. More errands, huh?"


"Yes, where is Miss Ananta going?"


"You go to the front minimarket, sir."


"Oh. Okay, Mom. Please continue on his journey. But, by yourself? Mr Satria hasn't been seen for a long time?"


"Yes, Sir. Bang Satria is out of town."


"Oh, fine then, ma'am. I go first."


"Yes, sir." The man in his early fifties seemed to raise a little bit of his motor gas to leave me.


I walked back and I was almost at the minimarket, I pushed the glass door and went in. Take a basket sorting out the items I want to buy.


My flat thing rings, Satria called. I swept my touch screen.


"Yes, Bang."


"I just want to remind you about tomorrow. Don't forget, yeah."


"Oh, yeah. Thanks, I reminded you."


"What ... Should I not come tomorrow, huh?"


I clamped the phone between my shoulder and earlobe picking up some stuff on the minimarket shelf yet answered Satria asked. A woman the same age as me took the same thing. We had a fight, he pulled the glass noodles that I had held.


My eyes were fixed on her who seemed to be letting out a disdainful smile. The phone call was still connected, and Satria called my name.


"I'm sorry, Ma'am," I called to stop him walking down the kale beside me as he pushed the little trolley in his hand.


He only looked at it briefly and walked gracefully with a slight bend of his waist. I let out a rough breath.


"Sir," called me again, he stopped his steps.


"I?" tanyanya pointed to herself.


"Yes, you."


"What's wrong? Kirain was not talking to me," he who then turned the eyeball lazy.


"You know that I was holding that glass noodle?"


"Oh, this?" he asked her to lift the thing I meant. I'm nodding.


"Tau" he replied casually. Really looking for things apparently this short-haired girl.


"You got a problem with me?"


He folded his hands in front of his chest and around me, I went around looking at his behavior. Frowning looked at him confused.


"You don't deserve to interfere in our affairs!" my toilet took back the glass noodles from the trolley. I decided to go back home leaving the girl of that stature and only bought two glass noodles earlier.


Intentions want to calm the mind and heart, just bad mood. I don't know who the girl is, at will speak what is not her business. Not forgetting before I was at the cashier I took a chocolate flavored ice cream wrapped in nuts.


People say, to restore the mood by eating chocolate. I hope the myth is true.


A small plastic bag of white color is already in the grasp, do not forget to open the ice cream packaging and bite it slowly, enjoy the sensation of chocolate. Ah, smudge in the mouth.


"Ananta," called out someone's heavy voice. I turned to him standing at the back wearing a hat and a gray checkered shirt and white, black jeans he matched.


I rolled my eyes off guard, no longer wanting to get in touch with him. That's enough for me. I immediately stepped away as Tama's foot level chased.


"Ta," he said holding my wrist, I brushed it down strongly. "Ta, don't shy away from me, Ta."


"Yes, we don't have a relationship anymore. Please, never again appear before me."


He pulled my body to carry in his arms, I thrashed and threw away Tama's body quickly. My iddah time is not over. It is still a few days before the divorce decision is held.


"Please, me, Tama!"


"No, Ta. I don't want to take you off again!"


"Live in your obsession. I don't want to be stuck with your lust!"


My hand was firmly gripped, Tama tightened her grip. I grimaced, holding his fingers to release me.


"Tama, sick!"


"You made me do this to you, Ta."


I kept hitting his tightened veined hand. A helping hand patted Tama's shoulder.


"Bang Satria" I looked at him behind Tama. Tama turned her head and immediately a powerful blow was thrown by Satria to her.


"Aragh!" I shouted in shock and covered my mouth with both hands. I backed away from them.


"Stop bothering my wife!" it was above Tama. Tama fell on the roadside asphalt due to Satria's blow. Satria pulls Tama's shirt to deliver one more blow.


His fist was about to land again on Tama's face, I held him back. It's not that I stopped Satria, it's just that I didn't want Satria to get into legal trouble because of this.


"Bang, enough, Bang."


Satria turned her head towards me, her gaze turning shady. Then rise from his position. I restrained her body from getting close to Tama.


"You better go, Tama."


"One more time, I see you're bothering Ananta. I'm going to put you in jail, or I'm going to kill you all with my own hands!" toilet Satria was so angry with Tama's attitude just now.


Kulrik glimpsed Satria's hand that was bruised. I took her home to compress the back of her swollen hands.


I pulled his arm to get into the house. Satria was sitting in the living room, she seemed to feel strange in this house.


"Sorry, I brought you home without saying anything. I just want to compress your hand."


Satria seemed to be moving her fingers. Must have left the pain there. Somehow the story he could suddenly be in the neighborhood of this house.


I sat next to him after carrying an ice cube as well as a cloth. I bandaged the ice and placed it slowly on the back of his hand. He looked grimacing, I glanced at him at a glance while making a smile.


"Why smile?"


"It's okay" said I, who was busy repeating the same activity a few minutes ago.


"Where? Still sore?"
