After that night, after Mr. Marvel expressed his feelings, my days were flowery. I don't know if I feel happier and more excited about life. But, even so, I asked Marvel for time to strengthen my heart, because after all I needed to convince myself to go back to undergoing the household heresy, which I had previously failed. And also because I haven't known Mr. Marvel for a long time, so I don't want to be in a hurry to make a decision.
That morning, while I was playing with Ikhsan on the front page, Sofyan came to the house of Mr. Marvel. I was a little surprised by his sudden arrival without giving any news first. Kang Sofyan came with toys and snacks for Ikhsan.
"Na, how are you?" kang Sofyan.
"Eh, kang Sofyan.. Why don't you tell me if you want to stop by?" my many.
"You give me a surprise, he he" he laughed crisply.
"Ikhsan, take a look, bring what for Ikhsan." said kang Sofyan to Ikhsan while giving the toy to Ikhsan. Ikhsan looks very happy to receive the gift of kang Sofyan.
"Sit down first kang" I invited Sofyan kang to sit on the front yard garden bench. Kang Sofyan nodded then sat down side by side with me.
"You're in good health, haven't you been here?" ask kang Sofyan.
"Alhamdulillah, Ratna is healthy" I replied.
"Oh yeah, what's going on here? very interesting tumben" I asked curious.
"There are important things that I want to talk about" he said seriously.
"What is kang about?" my many.
Kang Sofyan looked to take a deep breath, like he wanted to shake off his nervousness.
"Akang.. nullify the marriage with Astri, akang fiancee" he said slowly. I wasn't so surprised, having already heard it from Puja.
"Ratna already knew, from Puja" I said slowly, somehow I felt guilty.
"Yes Na, how else. Until now, kang Sofyan could not open his heart to other women. It still remains your name that is in the heart of akang" he said while looking at me. I feel more guilty, it turns out the true cause is me, kang Sofyan has not been able to move on until now. My head got dizzy, just last night Mr. Marvel expressed his feelings, now kang Sofyan came with shocking news.
"But I have no regrets, before it's too late. Than Astri heartache, better than now stop" he said slowly.
"But Ratna so guilty kang, surely everyone is in the village of the light of Ratna, kang Sofyan should stop with feelings akang to Ratna. Don't be like this, don't expect Ratna anymore" I can't take it anymore, finally clear circles dripping down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry Na, please don't hear what people say. Na... said Puja, Ratna has officially divorced from Ilyas, is it true?" tanyakanya.
"Yes kang" I said as I wiped the tears on my cheeks.
"Does that mean Ratna can open her heart to kang Sofyan?" tanyanya gently.
"That's... Ratna doesn't know kang, Ratna is confused." I'm so confused right now.
"Is Ratna confused because Mr. Marvel also likes Ratna?" ask kang Sofyan. I lifted my face and looked into his eyes.
"Kang Sofyan knows where?" my many.
"The adage said, he'd come here anyway. Na. kang Sofyan did not intend to influence Ratna, but I hope, Ratna learned from experience. Ratna does not know who Mr. Marvel, Ratna also does not know the ins and outs of his family, right? kang Sofyan did not want Ratna to fall into the same hole" said Sofyan softly.
"So, I hope Ratna thinks clearly. Look at Sofyan Na, see the sincerity of love for Ratna" he said with a warm smile.
"Ratna hasn't been able to killusin anything kang, sorry... Ratna needs time" I said slowly.
"Yes, kang Sofyan will always be patient waiting for Ratna, yes already, I will go home first. It's not good to talk late, afraid to disturb Ratna's work" he said.
"Yes kang" I nodded.
After that Sofyan said goodbye to Ikhsan, and went home.
******
In the afternoon, when Mr. Marvel came home. I chose to stay in the room, reluctant to meet him or welcome him. I keep thinking of kang Sofyan's words. Kang Sofyan was right, I did not know Mr. Marvel, so I was suddenly afraid if it would fall into the same hole. Moreover, Puja blatantly said he liked Mr. Marvel, I was afraid of being stabbed again. Mas Ilyas also used to be so passionate about chasing me, being kind and looking very loving to me, but in the end he was tempted and cheated on Puja. While I was still engrossed in my daydreams, Puja came in.
"Tumben diem in the room continues" Puja said.
"But you're happy right, because you can flirt with Mr Marvel freely?" my answer is no less cynical.
"Yes, I used to think I could be free to sneak in Marvel's sir, but it turns out there are even other women who are more beautiful and sexy besides Mr. Marvel" he said suddenly made me curious.
"What do you mean?" manya curious.
"Look at the guest room" he said ketus.
Because I was so curious, I ventured out of my room, then pretended to go to the kitchen even though I actually wanted to see what a beautiful woman Puja said she was like. I saw clearly the woman was sitting sweet in the living room while playing a flat object in her hand. It turned out to be true, she was a very beautiful woman, and looked classy. It's just fitting that Puja feels inferior, it seems that the woman is not an arbitrary person.
When I turned around, I was surprised by the sudden presence of Mr. Marvel.
"Yes?" ask her with a seductive face.
"No, for whatever" I said with a flushed face holding in shame like a thief who was caught stealing.
"If Kangen says" said Mr. Marvel.
"Who's missing" I said, then took it for granted. But my hands were blocked by him.
"Let me introduce" he said as if understanding my curiosity. Mr. Marvel brought me before the woman.
The woman was a little surprised when she saw us coming.
"Who's brother?" he asked while pointing at me.
"Know Mel, this is my sister's future wife, her name is Ratna. And this is my sister's melody" said Mr. Marvel.
"Whatt!!?" said the woman. He seems very surprised. I became less, I thought no.
"It's normal!" he said while shaking the woman's forehead. Then a little chuckle.
"Don't talk about Mel!" said Mr. Marvel a little furious.
"Yes who really dong, the maid period known to be a future wife?" said the woman did not want to lose.
"He's not a maid, he's a cook" explains Mr. Marvel.
"Gee! same thing, what's the difference?" ask Melody. Marvel is at a loss for words.
"Nyesel brother bring you here!" said mr. Marvel.
"Gee! I'm also missing brother, old virgin who failed to move on!" reply Melody ketus.
I just silently watched the brothers quarrel, confused what to do. Obviously, there are a lot of questions in my mind that I want to ask Mr. Marvel.
"Silent Mel, later sister's future wife misunderstood! stop saying haphazardly, be more polite!" said Mr. Marvel who seems to have been ignited by emotions. The woman finally shut up and went up the stairs, maybe because she saw the anger in the eyes of the Marvel pack that was ready to explode at any time, I felt bad for causing a fight between them.
"I'm sorry sir" I said slowly.
"Why apologize, I should apologize because Melodi was disrespectful to you" he said gently.
"It's okay, it's only natural that he thinks I'm a maid, because it's me..."
"Stop! I don't like you to humble yourself like that, you deserve me and I deserve you" he said firmly.
"Have you eaten?" ask Mr. Marvel gently.
"Not yet" I answered honestly.
"My company eats yes, serve me as usual, but I want to take a shower first" he said.
I nodded obediently.
*******
After I finished eating, and Ikhsan was put to sleep, Mr. Marvel asked me to talk at home. It seems like there is something important to talk about. I sat a meter to his left.
"Ikhsan is asleep?" ask Marvel to start a conversation.
"Udah sir" I replied.
"So that guy came here huh?" ask Marvel.
"Whose men?" I asked back.
"Your ex failed to move on" said Mr. Marvel.
"Ooh, kang Sofyan?" my guess.
"Do you want him here?" ask Marvel in a dislike tone.
"Wait a minute, sir Marvel knows where? aren't you home anymore?" instead of answering, I asked back.
"So, if you're not at home, you can cheat, right?" said furious.
We even asked each other.
"What an affair, it's not clear!" I said a little upset.
"What does he want?" ask again.
"No doubt, just stop by for a while, look at Ikhsan" I replied.
"Emang Ikhsan is sick, seen by all?" tanyanya sewot's. I pinched his arm, from earlier the feeling of senewen continued. Nyolot, kayak kambet!
"It looks like our marriage has to be accelerated, so you don't get in a stampede" he said with his eyes fixed on the front.
"So, I said what the hell, the bike, dragged everything" said sebal.
"That's not why other men. I told you not to see him again" he said.
"Geez, when I had to kick him out, sir, not polite, did he meet. Yes found" I'm a little emotional.
"I don't like it!" said firmly.
"Father why the hell, from earlier senewen mulu same me? abis tingling jin huh?" pissed me.
"Why do you think?" he asked back.
"Well, how do I know!" I said I don't want to lose.
"I'm jealous! this time I don't know!" I was surprised to hear his words.
ish! why am I so happy like this? this short! how am I the one who stuck the genie? abis, the smiles themselves are unclear.
"Why is your face red? glad to see I'm jealous?" tanyanya was still in a vexed tone.
"What the hell sir" I said with a small smile.
But my smile just faded when I remembered Melodi's words about a woman named Kimberly.
"Sir, who is Kimberly?" the question just escaped my mouth.
