Rival let out a rough sigh, He got up from the cushioned lounge chair he was sitting on, lazily walking back to the balcony divider. He was lazy to talk about Rili. Because He also found it difficult to describe what he felt to his Ex-wife.
"Why silence?" ask Mama Maryam who is now standing next to Rival. "If you keep quiet, what you say to love Mely is a false statement. You really don't love her and still love your ex-wife do you? even if your ex-wife is married, you can't forget her. That's not fair to Mely." Said Mama Maryam, looking at Rival whose gaze was straight ahead.
Rival took a breath. He found it hard to breathe when talking about Rili. It felt so claustrophobic, no one understood his feelings.
"It's enough stupidity that I did Ma. No one can understand how sick I feel, if I talk about my ex-wife. Not because I love her anymore. But, the guilt towards him and the deep regret, that keeps me still thinking about him.
"After Mely got pregnant, I forgot about her. Because I've been so happy with Mely. But, when we have a reception in Australia. Shocking facts about my ex-wife Rili, revealed Ma." Rival spoke with frustration, and his tone was a little harsh. So that Mely could still hear it from where He lay.
Mama Maryam was astonished to see the expression of Rival which she thought was too excessive when talking about his ex-wife.
"What fact?" mama Maryam asked full of her curiosity.
"Fact, that He was not with the man he loved so much. Though I was willing to take it off so that He would return to his lover who is now her husband. Yasir Kurnia."
"What does this mean? aren't they a couple?" Mama Maryam was confused.
"I'll tell you everything. But please Ma. After I told you. Don't you ever separate me from my wife and kids!?" said Rival begging like a child while holding Mama Maryam's hand.
"I love Rili and love her so much. Apparently, he married me. Because of the wishes of his parents. At that time, her now husband broke up contact with her. We were a couple, but we never had a relationship like a couple.
"It's short Ma's story, which makes me even more guilty to Rili. The mother who was in the village beat Rili to pieces, at that time I was serving outside the city. And what saved Rili was her husband now, who suddenly appeared again. And the mother who was in the village put Yasir in prison.
"This powerless me cannot free Mother from prison. So Mother was angry with me and told me that I am not her son. At that moment my heart was so devastated to know that fact.
"My disappointment about destiny playing tricks on me doesn't get there. I was disappointed in Rili. Because secretly, he found his lover again. He has decided to choose me.
"So the problem comes. Yasir asked me to release Rili, but I refused. Plus the fact that I just found out that I'm a pick-up boy. Makes me more defressed.
"I decided to avoid that problem. Waiting for my brain to cool down and my mind to calm down. But, it was also a matter of more and more coming since I met Mely on the Bus.
"What makes me even more unable to forget Rili is my decision to follow Dad's will to divorce her. At that time, I still loved him.
"One thing I expected, after I divorced her. It means that He is free from me and He will return to Yasir. He must be happy with Yasir. But he did not return to Yasir. For a year he was alone.
"When you know that fact. I was confused and confused Ma. All of a sudden I think something's coming in this way. At that time I concluded I could not forget her and still love her.
"My mind wanders more and more, concluding and second-guessing itself. Why didn't he go back to Yasir after I divorced him. Until my brain and my feelings concluded He was still waiting for me. So that the intention is fulfilled to make him happy. Because now I have a treasure I can give him. Because when she was her husband, she suffered with me."Rival explains everything, but Mama Maryam is made even more confused by Rival's story.
"You're weak and you plan." Mama Maryam.
"No Ma, I don't plan Ma." Rival tried to defend himself.
"You plan, this attitude of yours that makes people around you hurt.
"No Ma, I don't plan, I just feel too mean to Rili. After marrying me, she suffered. I used to be poor, I couldn't do much."
"Then why don't you let him go straight away, when his lover asks you? and when he chose you, why did you leave him." Mama Maryam, furious with Rival attitude that can not be firm.
"All right, until here Mama understood. You don't love Rili anymore, but pity her. You feel you can give it happiness, because you are a conglomerate, which used to be a collongmeralat. Aye right?" Mama Maryam spoke to the point of Rival.
Rival mangosteen. "Because he's not married, you assume. He's waiting for you. Until you came to see him. Without thinking about your wife's feelings." Rival returns the mangosteen, responding to the words of Mama Maryam.
"When you find out He is still alone and does not return to his beloved. Is there any intention in your heart to return to him? You have a wife, Mely." Rival again agreed Mama Maryam's words by nodding her head.
"Why do you want to come back, when you are married." asked Mama Maryam who made Rival respond.
She stared fixedly at Mama Maryam's eyes which displayed an annoyed expression to her.
"I'm Khilaf, I'm wrong Ma. At that moment, it was as if I did not see Mely and did not feel her existence. I just want to make Rili happy. Because I've made him suffer so much in my life." Sutely answered. Realizing, He was again wrong in making a decision.
"But Rili is married." Mama Maryam.
"Yes, it turns out that right then and there, Yasir went straight home and married her that day." He replied with a bow, Rival was ashamed of his father-in-law.
"Like Rili is not married to Yasir. Are you sure he's taking you back?" ask Mama Maryam.
"It looks like it's Ma. He'll definitely want to refer me. Because I've got everything." Answer innocently.
Mama Maryam laughed so hard. This is how old her daughter-in-law is. Why he can't see the situation. Job whiz, smart brain. But, why is it related to women so bloon.
"Confidence once you're Rival. Guess what, like He didn't marry, He won't take you anymore." Mama Maryam patted Rival on the shoulder.
Rival smiled bitterly. It seems like it is. Mumbled.
"Do you want to lose another wife?" mama Maryam asked to look at Rival with her laughter. The sad story of Rival seems to change the taste for Mama Maryam, because of the attitude of her innocent daughter-in-law.
"No Ma." Answer fear.
"Yes you've tried to take Mely's heart again. Tell him you are Khilaf. Because I feel so guilty for Rili. Intended to make her happy. But in fact, Rili has got happiness from the man she loves." Mama Maryam.
"I told you so Ma. I also admit to being wrong. But Mely won't forgive you Ma" Whine Rival.
"Either if you already have money do not consider that money can make people happy. Not all happiness can be bought with money. Money can make us happy." Mama Maryam replied, She intends to leave the balcony where the air is getting colder. But, his movements stopped Rival.
"So how dong Ma. Mely doesn't seem to want to be with me anymore." He said sadly.
"If Mely doesn't want to be with you anymore. You marry again. You have a lot of money." Mama Maryam said scornfully, mocking face dominates.
"Aahhhkk Mama, koq even sneered at me anyway." Rival's upset.
"Once you said he was rich. Then it's time to be happy Rili." Mama Maryam laughed at Rival.
"Ma, seriously I'm Ma. Help Rival persuade Mely." He pleaded with both hands.
"Yes, Mama will help. Mom went to the twins' room first. Take care of my beautiful and handsome grandson. Tonight you took advantage of the opportunity to persuade Mely huh?!" mama Maryam said, smiling again and holding back her laughter. He felt Rival was too innocent.
