Before I decided to go there, I took the time to go to Rian's office. Just wanted to call Bik Ningsih for a moment.
"Hello, assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight." It was precisely Bi Ning who answered the phone.
"Who, yeah, this?" ask Bi Ning across the phone.
"It's me, Bi. Alma."
"Mom Alma, O God, ma'am. Mother where is it? I'm so worried." He sounded surprised and agitated.
"I'm fine, Bi. I just want to calm myself."
"Back, Mom. My father was sick five days. Every night I keep calling Mom's name."
I let out a breath. I can't believe Rey cares so much. But, this pain made my sympathy for her slowly fade away. I was just a little surprised to hear it, but not worried in the least.
"I'll be home when the time comes, Bi."
"What's the matter, ma'am. Please don't be like this. Kasian. The food I cook is never eaten, ma'am."
"Over time it will also be normal, Bi. Already, yeah. I'm busy."
I put down the phone without saying hello. I don't want to linger hearing the narration from Bi Ningsih. This heart will surely come back.
After I finished calling Bi Ningsih, I stepped into the actual destination. I went to Rian's office, actually wanted to tell him. But he has a meeting. I haven't been able to see him.

I took care of everything I needed. The stomach feels hungry. The typical Sumatran simple dining house that is visible to these eyes, apparently also seduces the stomach. Without thinking, I went in there. Take your own food and sit while watching tivi. Tivi sailed quite large and was high it was visible to anyone who ate here.
Being cool eating food, suddenly my eyes caught a bad view there. Especially if it is not the latest car with Rey being interviewed.
The appetite was half gone. Intentions wanted me to greedily run out of this food, however, it was only reduced by half. The shadows of good and bad things appeared and lined up in my brain. Until I can't feel my tears without my permission. I'll have an event this morning. I want to see Rey soon.
On the way to Rey's house, my phone rang. The name Dona is there.
"Hello, assalamualaikum. What's up, Don?"
"Vaalaikumsalam. Did you go to the office, Al?" ask Dona across the phone.
"Yes. Just briefly. Why?"
"Em, actually I want to talk to you. I miss you, Al."
I smiled hearing Dona's words that were a little spoiled.
"I'm sorry, yeah, I didn't get to see you. I have business."
"Can we meet for a minute?" dona Pinta.
"Please, yeah."
As an unbearable human being, it feels like sometimes I feel uncomfortable with this situation.
"OKAY. We met at the office, yeah. I want to feel the breeze under the tree of the office yard."
"I'll wait, Al."
Since it was still day and Rey would still be in the office, I decided to meet my best friend first. I deliberately looked for time until evening so that Bi Ningsih would not listen to us talk later. There might be drama soon.

"More." Dona gave me some cold orange juice.
"When do you like acid?" ask Dona.
"It's not acid? Try it?" I gave this drink to Dona to try. However, he looked at me strangely with almost fused eyebrows.
"Yes, if you don't want to."
"Al." Dona looked at me.
"What will you do after this?"
I slowly removed the straw from my lips. Look at the clear sky and try to feel the wind blowing slowly.
Dona turned her eyes down as her hand stirred the drink with her straw.
"Yesterday, I met your husband, Al."
I saw Dona. Now, we look at each other.
"Why did you meet him?"
"I wanted to upset him at first. Because it made you like this. He does not even appreciate your efforts are willing to become fat in order to conceive her child. And he's gonna make you hurt."
I looked into my best friend's eyes and listened to his story.
"You know, Al. She wasn't even angry when I slapped her cheek." Dona stop. Maybe he's waiting for my response.
"If you're not angry, another slap of the cheek should be." I was a little joking while sipping back this orange juice.
"I have been horrified by your husband, Al. Your husband thought that you leaving the house was an inducement from Rian. Because he doesn't know what you've been accused of all this time."
My lips rose next to Dona's response. Like not appreciating Rey's attitude. Even until this moment, apparently the white man did not realize that the woman who was with him in the office was the cause of my anger. He is still Rey. Don't want to admit wrong even if the evidence is in hand.
"l. Did you ever think your problem with Rey was just a misunderstanding?"
Is it so?
"You mean?"
"Reyhan looked for you here even with a pale face, Al."
"Oh, is that why you're feeling sorry?"
Dona was silent for a moment. He realized I was starting to feel emotion right now.
"You don't even know how much Reyhan loves you, Al." He walked into the office leaving me.
I saw him back here. Turns out he just threw his plastic drink in the trash can in front of the office. Dona then walked back here.
"l. I'm still supporting you. Whatever you're gonna do. May you be happy, whatever your decision."
Dona walked to the office. He really got into the building and didn't come back.
What does Dona know about Rey? Why does he say as if he knows something?
I went to the apartment worried. It's not as easy as I imagined. Why when I made the decision, did I finally falter? I realized that I was actually a person who really did not have the heart.
Ting tung's.
Someone pushed the bell button on the doorstep of this apartment. I'll see who it is.
"Sir."
"You haven't seen him yet?"
I shook my head slowly. "Not yet."
"You better get back with Reyhan, Alma. Talk carefully with him about your problems."
I looked at Rian.
"Eitherway. I don't know."
I'm starting to falter.
"But, I stick to my initial decision. I will never let my heart hurt again. I'm ready to part with him" I said a little unsure.
Rian smiled at me.
"I look forward to your words, Alma."
Rian is waiting for the certainty of my decision. He doesn't want me to be gray in this. After Rian left, I walked out with this paper. Paper foreshadowing the end of my household with Rey.
Seriate....
Love like and vote. Sorry it's a little late.. 😊😊😊
