There was a car engine that stopped in front of my house. I peeked out from behind the window and was surprised to see Beby coming towards me.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
"Excuse me, Lia... Lia!" Beby's voice sounded so distinctive in my ears. The voice was so I missed, but I had to hold myself back so as not to fall in love with it again.
After I was sure I could restrain myself from being ordinary with her, I opened the door for her.
"Beby, what's going on here? Let's get in..." I let him in and sat on the living room couch.
"Lia, I need your help, I'm so stressed Lia, please calm me down." Robby sat on the living room sofa with a face that looked shabby and powerless.
"I'll make you a drink first yeah, you wait here." Just as I was about to make Beby drink, suddenly appeared Miss Emi who was then willing to replace me make a drink.
"Let me make you drink Lia. Mba Lia just wanted to see her guests." Say to me, Emi.
"Thank you, Emi. Why are you suddenly here without telling me first, Beb?" I thanked Emi and continued the conversation with Beby.
"I'm confused Lia, who else can hear my story other than you. Only you can understand me and calm me down." Beby opened one button of his shirt at the very top, then let out a long sigh.
"What's the matter Beby?" I became curious about my Beby's attitude, until I forgot to call him with my dear call for him.
"Benjo and Anita, they'll never get married, Lia. Benjo's parents insist that if Anita and Benjo get married, then Ira and Ira should return to being full parents for Anita." Robby, the lover I often greet Beby, seems frustrated.
"Then? Are you going to marry your ex-wife?" In tanya, I keep the hurt feelings but I try to surrender to accept the bitter reality later.
"Nega may be Lia. I never loved Ira, as long as you know, Ira set me up to marry her. During my marriage I was never happy with him, I always tried to be a good husband for him but his family often insulted me who felt less rich enough to meet their needs." I listened to Beby carefully.
"What should your next plan be?" I'm getting curious.
"I'll talk to Anita about this. She might be very disappointed, but I promise to take good care of the child she's born with as much as I take care of Anita." Robby explained to me but I seemed less interested in the story of Anita, my friend who had gone too far. I was more interested in how the relationship between Beby and I would go.
"So you're not getting married to your ex-wife, are you? Then, why don't we just get married, so that Anita remains married accompanied by a complete parent, is that a condition of the Benjo family?" I was very curious about Beby's answer.
"It's that easy Lia, the condition is difficult because Benjo's mother... She's..." Beby seemed confused to explain it to me.
"Yes, what's wrong with him? That is the condition of his mother, if she wants Benjo to marry Anita then Anita must be accompanied by complete parents. I understand, because Benjo's father is an important and quite famous official in this country, maybe they feel embarrassed if..."
"It's not so Lia." Beby cut my words.
"The problem is that Benjo's mother was an old friend of Ira and I, and the three of us had a conflict first. So, this is actually her way of getting revenge with us. So he insisted on making that ridiculous condition on Anita." Beby seemed to be trying to hide something.
"I still don't understand all this. I understand the intent of the terms, but did Benjo's mother specifically ask you and your ex-wife to remarry? Can't you if you marry another woman?" I started to get emotional.
"Excuse me mba, sir, sorry to interrupt... Here's the drink, I make ice juice because the atmosphere is hot." Ms. Emi delivered us a drink while slightly melting the atmosphere, then leaving.
My emotions did subside a little, so did Beby who looked more rilex after sipping ice juice made by Emi. For a moment we were silent, I still kept my anger and Beby seemed to still think hard to find a solution.
"I think you're wrong to go here to calm your mind. Because it feels like I'm adding to the burden of your mind." Suddenly I regretted having Beby argue.
"It's okay. I was even more relieved now, as if all the grunts in my heart had come out. Lia, from this talk of ours I can conclude that you want to quickly marry me, right?" It was strange why he suddenly asked me that.
I was lazy to answer his question, I just fell silent and reluctant to see his eyes that were now looking at me.
"If you want us to get married, please give me some time to solve my problems with Anita first. At least until my future granddaughter is born, then we'll get married soon. How's it?" It sounded like a fairy tale in my ear.
"You sure it'll be that easy? If I'm not sure, because your son must be desperately against our relationship. You don't remember how he arrogantly humiliated me in public, even he insulted me by saying that I was his father's seductress who was the same as pel**ur." I still clearly remember his words that cut my heart.
"Lia, I promise I'll find the best way for us to get married." Beby seemed to be trying hard to convince me.
"Until when should I wait for you to find the best way? While my mother here is also sickly, mother always worried that her only daughter will be alone if she does not exist. Honestly, I want to get married." Finally the sentence was thrown also after a long time buried.
"You don't worry, I'll still be there for you even if something bad happens. I promise, I will always be there to help you with all your needs." Beby approached me, holding my hand and looking into his eyes as if begging me to believe every word he said.
That's not the answer I want, I need certainty right now. I want the heart of the mother more calm to hear the princess only wayangnya finally officially proposed and will be guarded by the man of choice his heart.
"I can't wait too long." I pulled my hand from him.
"I'll wait until the turn of the year. If you still haven't found a way for us to get married and your daughter is still against our relationship, we'd better end our relationship." My words were so clear and firm, yet at the bottom of my heart the deepest scarred so deeply when I said them.
"Lia, I need some time until Anita gives birth to her child. Didn't I just say that? After the child is born, we'll get married no matter what." Beby tried to hold my hand again which I immediately tepis.
"Okay, I'll consider. But as long as there's no answer, I hope you can give me a chance to meet another man who's ready to marry me. Mom and I don't want to wait for something that's not certain." Beby seemed surprised to hear it, but he seemed to be unable to do anything.
"OK if that's what you and mom want, I can't help you meeting the right guy while I don't have any certainty for you yet." Beby seemed resigned, but again that was not the answer I wanted.
"When you're done, you can go. I have to take care of mom again." I was so upset because Beby didn't seem to want to keep me.
