Loving my Friend's Father

Willy's Regret

After hearing Mita's story about her arrival to the apartment and meeting Sofia. Willy bowed. His forehead is against the wall. The aura of ownership of a large company that had been seen, now only regret was visible on that handsome face. Mita stared cynically at the man she still loved. There was not a single feeling of compassion in his heart. Willy's accusation really disappointed him. Along with Azriel, Mita keeps her pride as a wife but Willy quickly seeks an impingement. Mita even acknowledged her status as a wife when they were about to be forcefully married. That made Mita very disappointed. Willy has failed to control himself for the sake of momentary pleasure and that also makes Mita more convinced to sue for divorce Mita.

"I hope we are just as mature for this divorce process. Don't complicate. I also don't demand much. Just parting is good without much drama," Mita said as she stared intently at Willy.

"daughter, baby. Om pardon. I'm really sorry. I beg. Cancel this divorce. I admit I did ask Sofia to come at that time baby. It's because I'm frustrated" said Willy, still with his forehead against the wall.

"No om. Once done it is difficult to change. I'm sure it's hard to change. I was wrong to trust you too much. I didn't expect. Loving a divorced widower turns out to be full of challenges. If the challenge comes from the outside. I can hold on. Which made me give up. The challenge is from yourself. Sorry if I'm a month more your wife. I can't do my best. Om Willy had to understand that because he married a boy like me" Mita said.

"I never thought you were Mita's boy. Comeback sweetheart. I promise I will change. Including for Keyla. I'm gonna throw this love away."

"Your words don't consider me a boy. But your actions show that way. If you don't think I'm a kid. I should be able to keep my feelings. Not chasing Aunt Keyla in front of my eyes. I have pain seeing it anyway. I feel worthless" Mita said in tears. He could not continue to say the words to express the pain he had experienced for several days.

Willy stood up straight and looked at Mita. The sound of Mita's cry made her stunned. He did not expect if all this time Mita turned out to be very harboring a deep heartache. This was not the first time she had heard of Mita's heartache. But this was the first time she saw Mita crying because of her selfish self. Willy also felt his heart ache seeing Mita cry. Willy also realized that he loved the woman in front of him very much.

"Open the door" said Mita after stopping crying. Willy's still pensive. Mita can't get out of the room because the key to the room is in Willy's pants pocket.

"Begging for the key" said Mita, raising her hand. Willy flinched then rubbed his face in frustration.

"Mita, I love you so much, baby. Can't you forgive my mistakes?" willy said with a face. Mita shook her head without hesitation.

"What can I do to make you believe I will change and forgive me."

"There's no need to do anything. Not changing is okay for me. We're gonna keep getting divorced."

Willy lowered his head. Mita did not play with this divorce.

"My mother."

"If you want to apologize from me. Open the door now om," said Mita firmly. Willy looked helpless. He lethargicly walked to the door and pulled the key out of his pocket. Willy still lowered his head after the door opened. Mita took a quick step and headed to the living room.

"Have you signed it?" ask grandma. Mita nodded.

"Myth. No second chances for Willy?. If it's Willy's behavior that's after me. You insist like this. I'm gonna get out of this house, Mita. Billy will stay here for treatment" Keyla said, feeling guilty. He held Mita's hand to not go straight away. Looked at Mita's face. Keyla is sad.

"No Aunt. Not because of that."

"Willy loves you so much. I think you can feel that from every action. His feelings to me. I think it was just a moment. Give her a chance, Mita," Keyla said. Mita finally told me all about her conversation with Sofia. Keyla was silent to Mita's words. Just like Mita. Keyla was also very disappointed with her ex-husband's actions. She had not expected that there was another woman besides Mita and herself in Willy's heart. Even if it's as an impingement. Keyla does not accept that Willy is still tied to marriage with Mita.

"Let's go, Grandma" asked Mita again while pulling Ratmi's grandmother's hand. They say goodbye to Willy but Keyla is still silent in her seat.

After Mita's death. Willy closed the door again. Willy crying. Willy wept over his regrets. He had already been reminded by Keyla of this. But her selfishness to have two women keeps herself going after Keyla who obviously rejects her. Now Willy felt he did not get anything from the selfishness. Mita insists on asking for a divorce while Keyla is not willing to refer to her.

Willy lowered his head releasing Mita's departure from his side. Seeing the seriousness of Mita asking for divorce. Willy could not bear to hold the young lady still by his side. Suppose Mita is willing to give herself an apology. Willy will promise to change. Including removing Keyla from his heart even though it was heavy to remove. Only one hope Willy. Mita's pregnant.

Just like Willy. Mita also tried to hold back her cries in the taxi. When the taxi stopped in front of his yard. Mita ran and went into the room. Mita spilled all her tears on the pillow. Her chest felt tight considering her marriage only lasted a month more. And just waiting for time will be a young widow. Mita remembered the words of Azriel. If the status of the young widow is not pleasant to hear. Mita is crying. Suppose Willy could refrain from wearing Sofia. Maybe now he will try to be mature to maintain his household.

On one side Mita is grateful. Mita meets with Sofia and learns of Willy's bad habits. Mita also can not imagine knowing the reality like this when again happy happy with Willy.

"Myth. No cry. This was the right decision for the selfish man" said the grandmother who had entered Mita's room. Grandma also knew the reason for the divorce.

"Yes grandma. I'm just sorry. Why not listen to Grandma's advice first."

"Don't remember it again. This is a valuable lesson for you to be more careful to know men," replied the grandmother while hugging her grandson. Remembering all the stubborn Mita who didn't hear the advice. Nene Ratmi actually wants to be angry. But look at Mita's sadness. Ratmi's grandmother refrained from scolding her beloved granddaughter.

"Love doesn't have to have. Maybe your happiness isn't with Willy. Release sincerely even though there is still love in your heart," said Ratmi's grandmother again. Grandma Ratmi knows that Mita still loves Willy. First love is hard to forget.

"I don't love her anymore grandma" replied Mita who was still sobbing in grandmother's arms. Ratmi's grandmother simply stroked Mita's head without responding to the words. Grandma found out that Mita was lying to her own feelings.
