MARRIED
I'll try
"Ehm ... Julia, I want to ask you a favor." Nadine said still with a flat face that was difficult to guess.
Julia drank her latten coffee, gulping it down slowly. He let Nadine speak first.
"Julia, do you know if Ben hasn't been home this week?" asked Nadine who was only responded to by Julia.
"Nadine, I don't want to interfere in your domestic affairs" said Julia flatly.
"But you're my only friend Jul! We have known for a long time, since the beginning of college we have been friends" said Nadine.
"Friends? You sure you consider me a friend?!" Julia's voice sounded bitter.
"I'm sorry Julia ... But help me this once!" Nadine pleads.
Julia looked at Nadine in front of her. Indeed, her beautiful face looks tangled, unlike Nadine's usual appearance.
The dark circles around her eyes were faint, probably because they were covered in thick makeup.
Now Julia can see if Nadine's eyes are exuding frustration. But he did not feel sorry at this time because Julia remembered the humiliation Nadine had thrown at him last time.
"Nad, do you want anything from me?" Julia eventually falls down and tries to be a good listener.
"Jul, do you know that Mama Tyas doesn't like me?" nadine asked who looked sad.
"But Mama Tyas is so nice, how could she not like you?" Julia was in disbelief because Mama Tyas, Mama Ben was so kind to her.
Loving Julia like her own child, even when she was not her daughter-in-law, Mama Tyas still often exchanged news through mobile phones.
"At first Mama Tyas accepted and liked me, but after getting married and knowing that I had been married to be a second wife, Mama Tyas began to be cynical" explained Nadine.
"Maybe because from the beginning you were not frank Nad. If you're being frank, how could the Ben family's attitude be like this?" Julia tried to understand from both sides.
"But I can't be frank Jul, I'm afraid of losing Ben" said Nadine, who now wiped away the tears that began to drip on her cheeks with a tissue.
"Nad, why did you want to be a second wife?" ask Julia who is curious now.
"To be frank at that moment I just survived. My mom's dad suddenly died in an accident, and you know that I'm an only child. It was my only choice at the time Jul," explained Nadine whose eyes looked pretty.
Julia felt unbearable with Nadine who now looked weak and sad. Although Nadine had insulted him first and arguably had taken Ben from his side, but seeing Nadine now Julia's heart began to melt.
"Nad, have you apologized to Papa Mama Ben?" ask Julia.
"Already, but ... "
Nadine was silent, reluctant to continue her words.
"But why?" Julia is curious now.
"But ... Mama Tyas gave me a year to have a child. If I fail then ... " Nadine seemed unable to continue his words.
Julia understood and now she thought why Mama Tyas could do that with her daughter-in-law.
"Then what did Ben do to defend you?" ask Julia later.
"Even Ben supports Mama Tyas. Although Ben seems to have forgiven me, but I know that in his heart, he has not accepted me completely," said Nadine glare away.
"Then what can I do, Nad?" Julia felt pity and somehow she wanted to help Nadine.
"Jul, please persuade Mama Tyas to give me at least 3 years. Mama Tyas gave me only one very short year."
"I don't know how I got pregnant when Ben's not coming home right now" said Nadine, who now holds Julia's hand.
"But it's your domestic business, Nad."
"Yes Jul, but I know that you and Mama Tyas are very close. I'm sure he'll listen to you" said Nadine, now visibly clear.
Julia's mind floated back when she was Ben's wife. At that time Mama Tyas was very good to him, never even brought up the problem of children.
How could I be pregnant if Ben never touched her?
Mama Tyas never urged her to give grandchildren. And even often invite Sovia, the first granddaughter of Mama Tyas, to play to Julia's house at that time.
"I can't promise Nad, but I'll try" Julia said at last.
He could not bear to see Nadine who was very depressed.
"Thank you Jul, you are indeed my best friend," said Nadine relieved.
Julia just nodded.
After meeting with Nadine, Julia went straight home.
His mind kept raging thinking of Ben and Nadine.
So Ben hasn't been home this week? Surely Ben now lives in his Mom's Papa's house. Then why didn't Nadine just go there?
Questions popped into Julia's head. I don't think about what Ben did. Whereas Julia saw, Ben and Nadine all this time seemed to live happily.
***
The days keep passing. Sometimes Nadine sends a message asking about her request for help, but Julia has not been able to fulfill it because she does not have the right time to talk to Mama Tyas.
"Hello Julia dear," said Mama Tyas happily and then hugged and kissed Julia on the cheek.
Julia returned Mama Tyas' embrace with affection. For a long time, he had not met Mama Tyas because of their various activities.
"How are you?" ask Mama Tyas who invites Julia to sit in a beautiful little garden next to the house.
"Well Ma," said Julia who still calls Mama to her former in-laws.
Julia already considers Mama Tyas like her own mother.
Julia was sitting under a shady tree together with Mama Tyas because Papa Andi went along with Ben.
The afternoon air was already cool as the sun slowly began to sink.
Julia really enjoys the park which is maintained and arranged nicely by the residents of the house.
Mama Tyas is a hobby with plants.
"Sorry Jul, Papa and Ben can't meet you because there's an appointment with Om Tito."
"Om Tito Papa Andi's last brother?" ask Julia to remember.
"It's true, haven't you met, have you?"
"Yes Ma" said Julia smiling.
Talking to Mama Tyas is relaxing and fun.
"Julia, did you hear you were getting married? Is true?" ask Mama Tyas who has heard the news about Julia's wedding.
"True Ma, Julia is getting married to a workmate at the office. Probably about 5 months away. Pray for everything smoothly, Ma," said Julia who asked for the blessing of her former in-laws.
"Julia, are you sure of your decision?"
"Julia was sure Ma."
"Mama is actually very disappointed with your marriage and Ben's failure in a short time. Mama already knows the problems that occur in your marriage because Ben has told her everything" said Mama Tyas who now looks sad.
"Oh Ma, don't talk about it anymore. Julia is so happy."
Julia is guilty. Did he not fight enough to get Ben's love so that all failed?
"Mama is very sad and not out of thought with Ben. But how else, the rice has become porridge and all can not be repeated again." Mama Tyas now closed her eyes, as if swallowing her own disappointment.
"I'm sorry Julia Ma."
"Geez, baby, you're innocent! What's wrong here is Ben and Nadine."
"It's over, it's all gone and now I hope I can find happiness too" said Julia smiling to calm Mama Tyas who now looks annoyed with Nadine.
Julia fell silent and so remembered her goal of coming to meet Mama Tyas.
"Ma, last Sunday Nadine came to see me. She asked Mama to give her more time" said Julia slowly, fearing that Mama Tyas was angry that she had interfered in Ben and Nadine's domestic affairs.
"Nadine still dares to ask you a favor?"
"Maybe he had to Ma." Julia is now seen defending Nadine.
"From the beginning Mama had felt that Nadine was not a good woman. But then Ben insisted and now it looks like a woman like what Nadine is."
Mama Tyas said with stifled emotions.
"Perhaps over time, Nadine could change Ma."
"Huh ... My mom won't give her any extra time. If in one year Nadine has not been pregnant as well, then let Ben part with Nadine," said Mama Tyas steady.
"Julia, are you sure you'll marry your friend? Mama please wait a minute for Ben," asked Mama Tyas who now looks very pleading eyes.
"Wait how Ma?"
"Julia, do you know that Ben loves you now? Please wait and give Ben a second chance."
Julia closed her eyes, why was everything getting complicated now.
