Lightly Longing

The Bus

Actually, I'm still awkward to be around Mr. Arbi considering what happened yesterday at the summit. But, today he was actually present before me without stopping arguing.

Satria got out of the car. He told me to go back in, while Mr. Arbi pulled the wrist sitting next to Satria.

"Enough!" I snapped which made both of them pause for a moment. I pulled the back door handle, sat there sweet. These two men looked at each other turning their faces while taking a deep breath.

Satria was sitting behind the wheel, while Mr. Arbi wanted to sit next to me, I locked him. Allowing them to get along with each other.

The two turn to each other. Their faces were perfectly bent and in such a way were very unsightly. I laughed with joy in my heart. I only commented with a smile, when Mr. Arbi looked back.

"You really don't want to sit with me, Mom?" I sniffed my shoulders, Satria stared from the square glass in front of her. Glancing sharply at me. Maybe, he wouldn't accept it if I wasn't the one with him.

"Ta, should we cancel our divorce proceedings?" asked Satria suddenly which made Mr. Arbi suddenly turned to look at him confused, just like me who did not understand the mind path of Satria.

"Hey, Dude. What do you mean?"

Satria was seen snorting in annoyance, staring intently at Mr. Arbi. I took a deep breath, no matter how hard Satria tried to re-establish the household, I remained in my stance.

Like a broken glass, though re-united it will never be as whole and perfect as ever. There will be a visible gap there.

"Ta," called Satria who tried to confirm my answer.

"No, Bang. I'm sticking to my decision." Satria locked her lips tightly, Mr. Arbi was seen to stare at a smile as she cleared her throat vigorously. Strange, I thought.

Satria immediately turned to look at Mr. Arbi who seemed to pull a hand like he was winning in a competition.

"Why are you smiling?"

"It's okay" replied Mr. Arbi, sweeping his lips with his fingertips.

We finally arrived at the court. I came down with a fast-paced heart. Feeling nervous despite walking with Satria also Pak Arbi who participated.

The three of us walked in unison into the hallway with many different kinds of space whether it was for mediation or to process a divorce trial.

Arini is seen present at the end of the hall, right in front of the wooden door split open model two.

"Bak Arini's. You just got to be there too?"

"Yes, it's stuck."

"What are you doing here?" satria asked confused. Obviously, I didn't tell you what happened to Arini.

"Yes. To take care of something," replied Arini who went straight in.

Satria turned her head towards me who was standing in the middle of the two of them.

"Ta, is Miss Arini going to get divorced too?"

I just took a deep breath without answering. Satria probably understood my answer.

The mediation process took place without any dispute and immediately met a bright spot. Satria and I submitted their respective evidence for the completeness of the divorce papers.

The verdict was postponed until the next verdict. Whether the exact time, the religious court will send information via email.

Mr. Arbi was guiding me to get out, Satria was still standing looking at me from behind. I looked at him, for a moment.

"Sir Arbi" I said, lowering his hand slowly from my shoulder. A little bit away from him.

"Why, Mom?"

"Sir, about last night's peak ...."

"Ehm, if you mind, let's just say we never did. We could be partners filling each other up."

"I'll act normal, so the atmosphere between us isn't too awkward. Now, I'll anter you home."

"What's okay? Not that Dad's car was left in my house."

"My, aja!" satria said suddenly, I closed my eyes for a moment. Then leave the two of them behind each other.

I am dealing with both again. Let time heal wounds. Life is a choice, I prefer to go away from the source of madness. Sometimes, I also get selfish for the sake of better mental health.

It was this decision I chose to end it all with Satria to keep my sanity.

"Ta?"

"He uh?"

"Come, come home with me, all right."

"No, deh. I'd rather go home on the bus."

"I'm coming with you, Ta." Mr. Arbi walked quickly along with me. Satria stayed in place, she understood my nature the most. The more pursued, I will get further away and slowly disappear never to return.

Me and Mr. Arbi were sitting at the bus stop. To be honest, I was really awkward being close to her. Not to mention he just kept sweeping his lips with his tongue. Ah, my brain's hanging out.

"Isn't this the wrong time you did that?"

"What?"

"That," I said pointing at him with my chin, plus either consciously or unconsciously Mr. Arbi was wearing lip balm at this time.

I remember the events at the top. Her lips are still in my memory. He's not the only guy who kissed me.

"Sir!" it was my snarl that made her flinch in shock and slowly lowered the lip balm from her lips.

"What?" he said he looked dumb.

"You're teasing me, huh?"

"What temptations?" he asked her who was still unaware of her behavior just now. A few seconds later, he was aware of what was in his grasp. "Oh, this?"

"Yes!" I said the one who grumbled. The bus arrived. We step in. Mr. Arbi seemed to be chuckling for a moment. I raised the corner of my lips, lazily looking at him.

"My lips are really moist, Mom," said Mr. Arbi plain. The look in his eyes was clear, his eyeballs were beautifully exposed to the sun. The light brown of the fibrous, thin jakun on his face added a sweet impression to him.

I was transfixed by this sweet creature of God. The firm line of his face stunned me for a moment. Mr. Arbi's hand slowly pulled my side waist to get closer to him.

I blinked for a second, the bus stopped there were passengers coming in. High school students with big backpacks made us stare at him. However, his big bag hit the body of Mr. Arbi who directly overtook me who was blocked by the bus seat.

Irregular heartbeat, politeness is almost lost if you are in this position. His sweat seemed to wet his face, I pushed him slowly.

"Sorry, Sir. Your position is uncomfortable for me."

"Eh, yeah. Sorry," he said, rising up. We were silent and daydreaming until the bus stopped at my destination.

Mr. Arbi is also present. Yeah, the car's still around my house. It was rude to ask him to come home and tell him to come in.

I looked nervous and scratched the temple for a while, then asked Mr. Arbi to enter the yard alone. My status is still Satria's wife until the hammer tap three times has just legally declared me a widow by state law.

"What do you want to drink, sir?"

"If you ask me to fill my thirst, how?"
