Title: Between Two Love (Part 2)

The bakso stall.
“Actually I have a hidden secret,” he said makes me curious.
“What the hell? Have you been tekdung loh?” I just wanted to say it.
“Loh how do you know?”
I was already a little suspicious, because if everywhere he always wears a corset to cover his stomach which already contains the fetus. It turns out that my suspicions are correct that Ani is pregnant.
“Whose son? Tomy what Heri?” My god.
“Yes, I know Tomy because of this,” he told me.
“Means?” Ask again.
“iya, Tomy was the one who wanted to help abort my womb, but it did not work.”
“Oh, so you already intend to abort this child huh?” my voice is as flat as possible.
I think it's common, I'm not so surprised because I know how Ani is. He will definitely take that step. It's not that I don't care about my friend, I just don't want to dissolve into his story that will make me curry. I don't want to ruin my mind about this. The advice I give is standard.
“Don't abort it, it's your son. Take care, keep the words, teach good things because from starting to blow the spirit, the child already understands exactly what his mother feels, what his mother thinks he knows it.” I clearly.
“iya, deh. But how is it that wonder? I used abortion doctors, shamans, pinter people - paranormal-not successful also digugurin. Even I've spent more than 20 million dollars to abort this kid. Eat spicy already, drink herbal medicine already, this medicine already, I deliberately wear this narrow shirt, even I wear wearing a girdle but still it does not work, does not change anything. Even this fetus wants to be thrown into the south sea by his Grandma Tomy, but failed and the next day I heard the news that his grandmother Tomy died after the incident.” Clearly me.
“Means your son is a strong boy, yes champ tuh hehe.” I answered, I tried to relax.
“What hero? This chick knows!” answer Ani.
“Know where are you girls?” I asked, again I tried to refrain from cursing.
“From Tomy, Tomy is a pinter.” replied Ani.
“oh, yes yes home people already know yet? Aunt, grandma and your grandpa already know ya?” Ask again.
“Already, they already know everything gini the story, my aunt is suspicious because seeing my posture is already very different. When asked I did not confess and tried to avoid. But it turned out that my aunt found out by asking one of her confidants, and finally I was found out when I was pregnant, and I could not avoid it anymore. Then Heri was called home, and we were told to get married quickly and the date was prepared, even my grandfather went to Heri's village to talk about our wedding plans, because it was discovered so my marriage with Heri accelerated”. Evidently.
“It should be like that. Ani they're mad no?” My toot.
“No, Fatin. No one was angry with me even I was the one who snambek” Cetus Ani.
“Loh why?” my many.
“I don't know, I'm thinking Tomy,”.
“Kok even thought of Tomy anyway? Would you like to get married? You should not think of other men when you want to marry Ani you can not be like that Ani.” I said to Ani. Again I tried as flat as possible, not to dissolve in the story of Ani.
The atmosphere was quiet for a long time. Until the meatball order we were waiting for arrived. We both enjoyed this ordered jumbo meatball.
“Huuuf cabenya this time very painful more than usual nih...” I said suddenly break this silence, although I do not want to dissolve in the story of Ani, I do not want to break the silence, but I also do not want to dissolve in an atmosphere of silence like this that will make my mind dissolve in the story of Ani.
“Yes, yes where I can not eat macem-macem anymore, can not eat sambel much.” Ani cetus.
“That's it, you're pregnant. Oh yeah, Tomy already knows that you want to get married?” My toot. Just want to know the story.
“It's okay, Tomy already knows frankly, I've been a few days not answering the text, also the phone, he said, because I want to slowly forget it but it feels very difficult to forget it finally I texted him back. I'm sorry for not texting her, it's because I'm busy fiting wedding clothes, and preparing for the wedding I told her. She thought I had forgotten her, I wasn't busy at all, I missed her so much. I've been trying to forget it but I'm actually the longer I miss, the more affection and love Tomy Then how?” I am confused what to comment? I was just trying to be a good listener to him.
To: Tomy
“Why have you changed? Do you not remember me anymore? Don't you love me anymore Ani? Have you really forgotten me? You have so much heart for me Ani you know that I'm sick, right? Where's your promise? you said you wanted to help me? You said this February there's money for me you're just good at talking! you know my life is now in your hands yank”
“Loh? What does this mean Ani? Tomy asked for funds? Dana do what? Then why did he say that his life was in your hands?” Ani showed me a text from Tomy.
“iya Fatin, he said Tomy, he was very sick, there was a lump on his head. Tomy said she wanted surgery, and I promised to help her lend her the money for her operation. I told him I could help, and this February I promised to lend Tomy money.
I explained everything to Tomy, but she didn't want to understand and Tomy was angry with me. I was really confused not knowing what to do, hearing him say like that I was getting sad I was afraid of anything happening to Tomy, I am afraid that the disease he suffered was a serious illness that at any time could take his life.” Obviously Ani.
His eyes began to glaze over, though, but he tried not to cry in front of me but I knew that Ani was very sad and we both stayed silent for a very long time I had heard the story. Unable to say anything just stunned and silent in my heart said, “you are stupid huh! And beside you there is a good man who loves you sincerely, and responsible he never complains of always working hard for your sake but you instead betray him cheating with other men you just know.”
Love is never wrong because every human being has love. Perhaps this is called blind love - love is not blind but paralyzes logic, by: MtGw.
It seems that I started to dissolve in the story, and started cursing but I kept trying to refrain from saying anything that would offend me I tried to stay calm and keep it as flat as possible.
“Hmmm, then?” ask me while sipping a cup of warm wedang on the table. He just kept silent to answer nothing, I did not feel at home to see this mute situation because that's why I wanted to go home considering it was night.
“Yes already, you are patient just don't cry then you can be sick you have to think of your son also pity him this is night, I say go home first yes and you rest yes Ani later we continue again”.
I immediately took the helmet and turned on my bike, on the way back to imagine the story was actually still a lot that I wanted to ask Ani just the uncomfortable situation so. I choose to save all my questions for tomorrow if there is time. I haven't been able to get to my mobile home yet, it reads a sign that a message is coming in. I know this must be from Ani. But I choose to open it later when I get home.
From: Ani
“Every time I remember him I get sadder, my heart hurts so much I don't feel excited anymore, I'm like a dazed person with absolutely no idea what to do? I was lazy to do anything.
To: Ani
“What does he really hurt? How to operate everything?”
From: Ani
“I don't know, Tomy just said that in his head there was a lump, he said it hurt once if a relapse he could pass out”
To: Ani
“You've tried asking Tomy about his illness? Doesn't his family know that Tomy's sick?”
From: Ani
“Of course his parents knew that Tomy was sick like that, he said his family had resigned because they did not have the money to finance his operation”
To: Ani
“Then? Hmmm oh yes, now your content has entered how many months anyway?”
From: Ani
“I would love to meet him. I want to hear from his own mouth is he really sick? My content is now almost 7 months Fatin
To: Ani
“When will you meet him?”
From: Ani
“The plan is today I'll see him. Now I'm texting Tomy. Pray well hopefully today I can, I really have to meet him I miss him so much I am very worried about his situation I have to see him today.”
Today's mentari still seems reluctant to see the flame. All day this land continues to rain. The clouds always leave a small drizzle cry, the wind is getting louder, the sky is getting darker as if representing the feelings of Ani who on this day he plans to meet with Tomy.
I went down the highway to a pharmacy behind a mall building that was standing firmly. There were not many people passing by there, the stall merchants had started to want to close the stall, too, well maybe because the weather like this that makes them choose to stay at home or indeed have come home from work considering today is already at 04.00 pm.
I began to park my motorbike, and in the middle of this cloudy I saw a smiling figure cheerfully welcoming my arrival, this cheerful look, this cheerful look, a smile like this will be able to survive to decorate his facial expression if he knows that the lover has betrayed him. His love was once killed, but now it has risen again is it possible that his love will be killed again like before? And when that happens does he have to beg for love from someone who has wasted his love?
Yes, it is true that the person who has a cheerful smile is Heri Ani's fiance. He worked in a private pharmacy I used to go there to buy medicine and today I happened to be there.
“Eh, Fatin find what?” Sapa Heri to me.
“This is ordinary, captopil is the same antacid each 4 pieces yes.” I replied while showing the example of drugs I brought. Heri picked it up immediately and before long Heri came back and gave me the medicine. There was no serious conversation with him just a proper conversation between a seller and a regular buyer after that I immediately gas again towards the palace where I live.
Ani told me about her meeting with Tomy today that Tomy has a serious illness, but Tomy still doesn't want to tell her about it. Again he just said that on his head there was a lump about the location of the lump under the small brain tomy said it while crying as well as Ani he was crying until a hiccup.
February 28th
Yes, February 28th, that day was the wedding day of Ani and Heri. I came and saw a smile that looked like a cry. True even though Ani decided to keep marrying Heri. He roamed the household with two loves. Without knowing which love is stronger.
