Marriage and Betrayal

11. Mr. Edwin

Mr. Edwin. That is the nickname of a State Servant.

Mr. Edwin is a figure of Abdi Negara who already has a high rank. But he was never high on what he had achieved. In fact, he is a humble figure in society

Mr. Edwin used to be a friend of Mr. Dodi Middle School, Salma's father. They used to be friendly.

But since graduating Junior High, Mr. Edwin has no news anymore because he followed his parents outside the city far from where he used to live.

Then Mr. Edwin continued at Taruna High School. Because he aspired to be a State Servant. And finally now it is happening. In fact, he is now a senior at his job.

One day, Trisatya Junior High School (school name Pak Dodi and Pak Edwin) held an alumni reunion. Mr. Edwin who has not followed the alumni reunion for a long time because he was preoccupied with his activities. This year he took the time to attend because he had missed his friends, teachers and also his school first.

Mr. Edwin departed from the area where he lived by plane. He did not drive a car because he avoided traffic jams, and also the distance between his current residence and Trisatya Junior High was quite far.

After arriving at the airport, Mr. Edwin picked up his brother and immediately drove him to Trisatya Middle School.

A few minutes later, Mr. Dodi came by car, he got down from the car directly to the hall to follow the series of reunion events.

Mr. Dodi sat in the chair that had been provided. And he didn't realize that right next to him sitting down was actually Mr. Edwin. So long ago the two of them did not meet, so they did not remember each other.

Without further ado, Mr. Dodi immediately greeted someone sitting right next to him.

"Good morning, sir" said Mr. Dodi as he extended his hand to shake hands

"Good morning too, sir" said Mr. Edwin

"What kind of alumni were you?" ask Mr. Dodi

"I used to be a Class 10 alumnus, sir"

Mr. Dodi was immediately shocked because of Mr. Edwin's answer. And wonder what class was in

"Loh, Sir... What class were you in in 9th grade?" ask Mr. Dodi

"I used to be 9C class, sir"

Hearing Mr. Edwin's reply, Mr. Dodi was shocked again. Because 9C is his class too

"Sir... I used to be a 10th class alumni and also used to be a 9C class, meaning my old classmate" said Mr. Dodi

"Yes time??? What is his name?" Mr. Edwin was shocked to hear Mr. Dodi's statement

"Yes, Sir. My name is Dodi. Still remember?"

After hearing Mr. Dodi's answer, Mr. Edwin immediately embraced Mr. Dodi

"Sir Dodi, I'm Edwin. Your best friend used to be" said Mr. Edwin hugging while stroking the back of Mr. Dodi

Mr. Dodi was surprised because without realizing it, who sat next to him from earlier was his best friend first during Junior High School

"Yes pardon... Mr Edwin how are you??? For years we did not meet, until we forgot each other because we were separated. Where is Mr Edwin now?"

"Alhamdulillah good Mr. Dodi... So long as I did not meet, I also did not realize that what I was chatting with from earlier was my best friend. I now live in Jakarta, Sir" said Mr. Edwin

"Sir Edwin now what work?" ask Mr. Dodi

"I work as a State Service Officer, sir. After graduating from Junior High, I joined my parents out of town and went to Taruna High School near where I live now"

And that's where Mr. Dodi and Mr. Edwin met for the first time in years since their graduation at Junior High

"How many children does Edwin have?" ask Mr. Dodi

"My son 2, sir. My first guy, he's a Lecturer. The second girl is still in high school"

"The first father's son is now in his service where if I may know?"

"It just so happens that he's in the area near here, sir"

"Ohh yes.iyaa... Sir, coming home from this show playing at my house first huh. I haven't played in my house in a long time"

"Yes, don't bother you, do you?" ask Mr. Edwin

"Of course not. I will return to the airport directly"

After they chat, they follow a series of events that have been arranged by the committee.

The time has shown at 12.30 WIB. The Trisatya Junior High School alumni event has ended. Mr. Dodi and Mr. Edwin immediately rushed to Mr. Dodi's car to go home to Mr. Dodi.

During the trip, they did not stop talking. Because they were so long apart. So many stories they tell.

Arriving at Mr. Dodi's house, they both got out of the car.

"Please come in, sir... My house is like hehe" said Mr. Dodi while inviting Mr. Edwin in

"Thank you, Sir... Just the same, my house is also like this sir" said Mr. Edwin

"Oh yes, Mr. Edwin. We haven't dialed a phone number"

"Yes yes, sir... This is my number just save it" Mr. Edwin gave his cellphone to Mr. Dodi to write the number

Salma came out of her room, and Zulfa's mother came out of the kitchen door to meet Mr. Edwin.

"This is my son, sir"

"Oh yeah, pretty too. What's the name, son?"

"My name is Salma, Om.." answered Salma while shaking hands with Mr. Edwin

"This is my wife, sir.. His name is Zulfa" Mr. Dodi introduced his wife

"Yes Zulfaa's mother... I am Edwin, his best friend Mr. Dodi in Junior High" said Mr. Edwin while shaking hands with Ms. Zulfa

Zulfa's mother then returned to the kitchen to prepare food and drinks for her guest, Mr. Edwin. Salma remained in the living room chatting with her father and his best friend.

"Salma's sister graduated from college?" ask Mr. Edwin

"Already, Om... Yesterday was graduation"

"What girlfriend has she not?"

"Hehehe not yet, Om" answered Salma blushed in embarrassment

"Hehe yes, Om" Salma lowered her head

"This graduation plan is going to do? S2, work or married?"

"Not yet, Om.. I'm still confused"

"Thank you, Mum.. Wear bothering everything"

"Hehe no, sir. We were happy because we had a special guest"

Mr. Edwin enjoyed the dishes that Bu Zulfa had prepared while chatting casually with Mr. Dodi and Salma

They were so excited to talk, they forgot about time.
