The Charm of the Betrayed Woman
Heavenlike
The next day at the house of Afa. Still as usual, Afa was getting used to not contacting Artha even though Artha still contacted her occasionally. His mother or father also always tried to approach Afa.
“Weekend Artha with her family here no Fa?” Ask her mother, Afa.
“Ngak Bu.” Answer Afa briefly.
“Loh why?” Ask her mother curious.
“Again busy there is a lecture assignment Bu, will not be able to come here first.” Afa.
“Oh yes if so.” Answer his mother Afa.
Afa deliberately did not want to tell anything about the incident. As much as possible Afa wanted to avoid talking about it. Afa wanted to organize her heart first before explaining the true events.
Artha: Fa, still angry with you? Dad dong. We're better. You know that you are wrong (07.31)
Artha: Mama is sick with the Fa, call out to Afa. Afa can not come here nengokin Mama? (08.05)
Artha: Afa can be angry with Mas, but don't be like Mama. Mama didn't get it wrong, Mas was wrong. (08.45)
Artha: You have no pity on Mama. Mama dear as you are sincere Loh Fa. Mama was willing to be insulted by the guy who picked up the phone from Mama. My mom has nothing wrong with you. But ko you're evil gini same Mama? (09.15)
These are the messages that Artha sent to Afa. At first Afa did not respond, but knowing that her former mother-in-law candidate was sick, Afa's heart was broken. He tried to call Artha's mother.
“Hallo.” Reply to Artha's mother.
“Hallo Ma. What sick mom? I got word from Mas that Mama is sick.” Ask Afa.
“Ngot nothing ko. Mama just soy sauce and a lot of thoughts aja.” Replied Mama Artha in a soft tone.
“Eatya Mama don't mind a lot dong, don't soybeans too. So it hurts. Mama knows that Afa can't continue beside Mama.” Said Afa who worried about her former future mother-in-law.
“Yes how do Mama not mind much Fa if Mama's daughter does not want to go back with Mama's son? My mom loves you both. Why can't the Fa forgive Mas?” ask Artha's mother while crying.
“Ma, sorry, there's a lecturer coming. Afa close first yes phone.” Said Afa who avoided the discussion earlier.
After saying hello, Aba turned off her phone. He was at home, but he didn't want to talk about anything anymore.
The clock is at 1pm. Afa went to the Campus because there is a lecture schedule at 2 pm. As usual, Afa went to use online transportation.
Arriving at Campus Afa studied as usual. However, there was something a little different this time. He didn't really pay attention to the lecturers. His thoughts were still jumbled between sad, upset and disappointed. Inside the class Afa just daydreamed with a blank stare. Sometimes there is a Lecturer who asks and Afa answers not knowing because indeed Afa did not pay attention to anything.
It doesn't feel like the clock is showing at 6 p.m. All classes are finished. She walked out of class with her other friends. With a blank look he walked slowly.
“Ih, handsome. What kind of kids are you?” ask one of his friends.
“Most International Relations majors. See if he doesn't look careless.” Answer the other friend.
“afa!” Call a man from a distance.
Afa was still focused on her daydream. He didn't know anyone was calling him. He also did not know that his friends were talking about someone.
“Fa! Someone called me tuh!” suhut Imel was near him.
“Ah, yes. Thanks yes.” Answer Afa.
“Hahaha what the hell. I first ya.” Afa answered, who left her other friends and approached Shane
“Ndream yes? Called nyaut.” Shane asked, the man who had called out to him from a distance.
“Iya, little.” Answer the listless Afa.
“Fa..”
“I'm fine Kak.” Said Afa who cut off Shane's unfinished sentence Shane finished.
“Here is his backpack brother who brought.” Pinta Shane while removing the backpack on Afa's back.
“No, no weight ko.” Afa tried to hold him.
“No weight is also okay. Massage yes.” Shane tried to release him again.
This time there was no fight. Afa gave her backpack to Shane. They also walked to the parking lot. Upon arriving at the parking lot, they immediately get into the car and get out of the campus area. They plan to go to a restaurant.
“Kak, actually I'm wrong if I don't want to reciprocate with Artha?” ask Afa to Shane.
“Nggak ko, everyone is free to make choices. As long as they can account for their own choices.” Answer Shane.
“Why Fa? Artha ngajak return?” Shane.
“No, only his mother makes me heavy. Now instead use the sick event all he said because of a lot of thoughts. Her mother once said I'm sorry Artha keeps coming back like that first. But my heart was disappointed. I don't want to hurt anymore.” The afa explained the true circumstances.
“Then just refuse it. You also deserve to be happy. You are not a kite they can pull at will. Let your heart choose what kind of good.” Shane.
As always, Shane always gives solutions with great care. He never said rudely and also cornered others. He tried to mediate between the two when Afa was having problems.
Finally, Afa and Shane arrive at a restaurant. They came in and ordered a barbeque. It was the favorite food of the Afa. Shane wants to help Afa heal her wound.
Afa asked to take a photo with Shane, not his face, just his hands holding each other and upload it to one of his social media.
“There goes my hands shaking and you are the reason. My heart keeps bleeding, I need you now.” Caption Afa on his social media and tagged Shane in the photo.
Shane instantly saw the notification on his mobile phone. He was shocked to see Afa for the first time marking Shane in a photo upload on social media owned by Afa. Because all this time that always marked Afa is Artha. There was no one but Artha.
“Fa, this won't be why-why?” shane asked nervously.
“Why is Kak?” ask Afa wonder.
“No, it's just that you usually mark Artha and no one else.” Shane replied doubtfully.
“Ko sister know? Yes, I used to commit to myself, I will not upload anyone other than him because I want others to know that I already have, yes he. But now he doesn't exist. So I'm free. Hehe.” Afa replied a little sad but tried to smile.
“By brother upload also not the same photo?” shane asked doubtfully.
“Bby.” Reply to Afa while enjoying her meal.
