Friday has arrived. Gerald deliberately invited Arka to the laundry because he had previously told her about Vienna. Of course Arka fully supports her friend's desire to be closer to the woman of his tribe.
"That means she's a great woman, Rald. After a long time you close your heart tightly, she easily opens your heart to fall in love again." asked Arka to the man who had focused on driving.
Gerald covered the waku smile. He really is like a man in the heat. Even though he had only met Vienna once, even then accidentally.
"But you're sure he doesn't have a partner yet, Rald?" ask Arka again.
"If you look at his attitude, from the way he keeps his eyes on the opposite sex, I don't think he has a partner yet, Ka. I'm sure this Viennese woman is fine. That's why I can be so easily attracted to him."
"I support you with Vienna, Rald. Hope it's in your soul mate."
"I hope so too, Ka."
"I'm getting curious, what's Vienna like?" Arka imagined what kind of face of the woman who so easily opened the heart of her friend.
"Promise not to fall in love, yes. Vienna my ration," threatened Gerald.
"Just calm down, Rald. I'm not someone who takes the rights of others."
"Mahaha ..."
Both of them seemed to be joking but with serious talk. Gerald really wanted to get serious with the woman he accidentally met in the laundry.
"Ah yes, Ka. How's your relationship with Susi now?" Gerald suddenly shifted the subject.
"If it's religious, we've officially parted ways, Rald. But country by country, it's still a process."
"May all go well, Ka. And you found a much better woman than your ex-wife."
"Amijn .. "
Arka looks sad now. After all, Susi is the woman she loves very much, before she later learns the woman's true attitude.
"Why, Ka? Did I say it wrong?" ask Gerald to make sure.
Arka shakes. "No, Rald. I didn't expect Susi to turn out that hard on me."
"That's it, Ka. You don't have to think about him anymore. Slowly you should be able to move on, even if things aren't easy."
"Yes, Rald. But honestly, if asked if I still love him, then the answer is yes. I still love him and love him. Our seven months together created so many memories." Arka smiled bitterly.
"What are you still living with the house?"
Arka shakes. "No. Since coming home from your contract that day, I immediately asked him to pack all his belongings to get out of my house."
"He was begging?"
"of course. He's to the point of laying on my feet, lucky I didn't get influenced to pity him."
"Now do you know where he is?"
Arka shrugged both of her shoulders. "I don't know, Rald. Maybe he went home to his parents' house."
Their chatter stopped once Gerald's car had reached the front of the laundry. Both of Gerald's eyes were on the hijab woman who had just entered the laundry.
"Ka, he's already here" Gerald said, pointing to Vienna.
"Where, Rald?" ask Arka because Vienna has hunted in.
"That, Ka. He's in."
"Yes, then get down and get to him."
"Yes, Ka."
Gerald parked his car and rushed down from the car to get to the woman.
"Which, how much is the total?"
"Thirty-six thousand he said. Let me pay, yeah."
Gerald's steps stopped immediately. Her knees were limp hearing the conversation of a woman and a man standing beside her. From their chat, Gerald thought that the man was Vienna's lover.
Not yet struggling, but Gerald has decided to step down. He thinks maybe Vienna is not his soul mate.
"Rald, why did you stop. You said you wanted to get acquainted with Vienna?" tanya Arka saw her friend back in the car with a changed facial expression.
"He's got a lover, Ka," replied Gerald in a speech that sounded like a limp fasting.
"Seriously, Rald?"
Gerald nodded.
"No way, Rald. If Viennese woman is as good as you tell her, she can't possibly have a lover. Maybe he's the sodar, his sister, or his brother."
"I heard Vienna say dear to the man standing next to her, Ka."
"Relatedly? You didn't hear me wrong?"
Gerald nodded again. "Yes, Ka. I'm sure the Viennese women are fine. If the man is not her lover, it means her husband. He looked at the man without keeping his eyes on me like he met me. Maybe Vienna isn't my soul mate."
"You sure you don't want to make sure who that guy is?"
"No need, Ka."
"But, Rald."
"Already, Ka. Let's just get out of here."
Actually Arka still doubt if the man said by Gerald was a husband or a Viennese couple. But yes, maybe it is true if the woman is married. He felt sorry for Gerald who had put more hope in the woman.
