Tama was in the living room together with Riri. The man did not have the heart to see his sister-in-law who could always make the atmosphere become crowded, now looks so moody and sad. He had already asked the girl to sit down, but Riri refused. Tama took the drinking water in the kitchen and handed it to the girl.
“Drink first to make your feeling calmer.”
Riri received the glass. However, he had absolutely no intention of drinking that water. Tama insisted and the girl drank it. Maysa returned to the living room after making sure Mama Rafiqah was completely asleep. He wanted to see his sister. When she arrived, she did not touch her sister at all.
“Come, sit here first, Ri?” take Maysa with you while pulling her sister's hand.
Riri followed her brother and sat down next to the woman. There was a fear that her sister was also angry like her mother, but there was no way she would just shut up when Maysa pulled her. At the moment the girl can only step down. I don't know what her sister would do to her.
“Someone you want to explain to me? Broadly speaking I have understood, but regarding the details I do not know anything.”
“I also did not know that Mas Adit was married, Brother. Indeed, all this time he always hid something from me, but I never thought if Mas Adit had a wife. I think it's about her parents who can't afford it. I have also often asked Mas Adit to come to see Mama, but he always refused for various reasons. Like when attending Brother's wedding, Mas Adit reasoned overtime. Whether it's true or not. Even more surprising, Mas Adit turned out to be the leader of the company.”
Riri told me everything while bowing her head. The girl stopped wiping away the dripping tears. She tried not to cry, but it was very difficult.
“What? Wow ... so many secrets that the man is hiding and you don't know it at all?”
“I don't know, Brother. Whenever there was doubt in my heart, Mas Adit always managed to convince me.”
“Didn't you ever say, if you know Adit from your best friend. Why don't you ask her?”
“I've tried to ask that, but he always said that I have to ask Mas Adit.” myself
“Do you memorize the number? Your phone has been destroyed, it is impossible to find your friend's phone number.”
Maysa was very upset with her sister's friend. It's impossible if he doesn't know anything about Adit. If indeed that fellow was truly a good friend, it would be impossible to hide a secret as important as this.
“I don't memorize, Brother?”
“Who can you call to send your friend's phone number. There may be one of your friends whose number is on my phone.”
“Kakak try to contact Adam only. Brother has his number, right? Later ask him.”
“Adam? Don't know, Brother forgot, Just a moment.”
Maysa tries to find Adam's number on her phone. Apparently still there, he immediately contacted the man and asked for the mobile number of the friend referred by Riri from earlier. After getting her number, Maysa immediately contacted her sister's friend.
“Halo, assalamualaikum,” said a man who was opposite.
“Waalaikumsalam, why did you introduce a married man to my sister?” ask Maysa without further ado.
That certainly made the person who was on the other side shocked. He did not know the person who called him. Suddenly accused him like that. Of course it made the man angry.
“Do not have many reasons, you know because you introduced Riri to Adit, his wife came and got angry here. He has made our family the subject of ridicule from the neighbors. It also made my mother very angry. Is this a joke to you? You should think about it before introducing people,” Maysa said with emotion.
Tama who was beside the wife also tried to hold the woman's palm, to reduce her emotions. This time he saw the woman angry. All this time she only knew that Maysa was a patient woman. However, Tama understands the situation of the wife. The woman's anger was also still within reasonable limits, not too excessive.
“Sorry, Brother. I don't mean anything. All that Adit himself requests, he is already married, but his relationship with his wife is not okay. He wants a divorce with his wife because of that he deket with Riri.”
"That means you want to make my sister an actor?"
"No, Brother. I just want Adit to get a better woman."
“That's no reason to bring my sister closer to Adit. Whether he wants to divorce his wife or not. Nothing to do with my sister. You should, as a friend, tell Riri that the man already has a wife. We were humiliated in public and made our family feel sad, without knowing anything of our fault. You should have thought about that. From today no more dealing with my sister.”
Maysa immediately ended her call.
He was really angry at his sister's friend. Riri who heard what her brother said was silent. Right now whatever the girl said was definitely wrong. Better to keep quiet. He was also wrong to trust others too much.
“You heard! He knows that Adit already has a wife and the reason is not logical to let you get close to Adit. 'Because his relationship with his wife is not good and he wants to divorce his wife’ that's a stale reason. If Adit's wife's relationship is not good and they want a divorce, there is no way his wife comes here angry with you!”
“Already, Darling. I think also Riri understood that,” interrupted Tama while glancing at her sister-in-law who had cried as much as before.
Maysa who saw her sister like that became unbearable. He approached Riri and hugged her. The hug that made Riri cry broke. No one had hugged the girl.
Just like the others, Riri also wanted to spill her current feelings. He also felt lied to and betrayed. Riri's cry grew increasingly bitter and heart-wrenching. That made Maysa shed tears again. No matter how angry they are, they are still brothers and he loves his sister very much.
That's right what Tama said. Right now Riri also needs support, not just judgment. As a woman, she should be more sensitive. Maysa rubbed her sister's back, hoping that the girl would feel calm.
“We will face all of this together. I'll try to tell Mama that none of this is entirely your fault. Although it will be a bit difficult. You know for yourself how stubborn mama is," said Maysa slowly.
“I know, I'll receive all the punishment from Mama, as long as it's not by stopping work. I don't want to see my mom working hard. It's enough all this time he works, it's time I have to live it.”
“Yes, I'll try to talk to him. I'm also not willing if Mama has to work at her age like now.”
Maysa broke her embrace and wiped her sister's tears and smiled. "Already, don't think too much. You will be sick later. Remember, you still have to take care of Mama."
"Yes, Brother."
"Sorry, Ri, you said that Adit was a businessman. Can I see the picture? Who knows I know him. All this time I also never saw you together with a man," said Tama.
