The Charm of the Betrayed Woman

The Charm of the Betrayed Woman
Longs



She smiled to see her two friends make up. Sam leaves Afa and Shane in the living room and heads to his own room.


“Still sick brother?” tanya Afa touched Shane's face.


“Not too ko.” Replied Shane who endured the pain when Afa touched her.


“Yes, sister has rested again in the room. Afa go home first.” Said Afa who wanted to say goodbye home.


That's why Shane didn't want to be left behind by Afa. It's just that Shane was confused to say it. In the end Shane let Afa go home.


“I take ya.” Shane Pinta.


“Where are some sick people who see him? Just rest at home. Don't forget to compress also yes.” Said Afa who then paid her leave because she had booked transportation online.


Shane immediately returned to his room after Afa left. He looks at his cell phone screen and surfs on social media. He saw the upload of Afa last night. He saw the photo last night taken by Afa with the caption “And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on. So when feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong.”


Her smile expands looking at the upload. As he grew up, he forgot the pain in his face.


When she got home, she took a shower and put on a new shirt. After she finished wearing her clothes, Afa was about to dry her wet hair. But suddenly Aba heard her mobile phone ringing. It turned out that the phone was from Artha's mother.


“Hallo.”


“Iya Ma?”


“Afa how are you?”


“Good. How are you feeling better?”


“Udah. What's up again?”


“Again sit aja Ma, out shower.”


“Jam as soon as new shower?”


“No, this morning already shower keep running in the morning, keep bathing again deh.”


“Oh is?”


“Iya, what's wrong Ma?”


“Ngak, Mama kangen aja same Afa.”


“Kan No Deby Ma.”


“Mama misses the same Afa, not the same Deby. My mother's son is Afa. Not Deby.”


“Iya. Afa, actually Mas still love to know the same Afa. Yesterday Mama nanya Mas, said Mas emang still love the same Afa. If you want to do it again same Mas!”


“Sayang same love is different Ma. Honey also limited to ever having each other only Ma time? His love is for Deby.”


“Ngak. Yesterday Mama had asked him the same Mas, Deby was just an impingement because Afa never existed for Mas. Actually, this position is not all wrong Mas. Afa also never been to Jakarta, only 2 times here. So Mas feel lonely.”


“Hmmm, it is natural to look for a replacement when the lover is far.” Mumbles Afa in the heart.


“Yes Ma, Mas is not wrong. False as fiance never existed when Mas needed. The wrong way never Tengokin Mas to Jakarta. Sorry Ma if Afa was born not as a rich person who has a lot of money and can go back and forth between Jakarta-Bandung every Saturday for weekly nights with her fiance. Sorry yes Ma, it took a long time to collect money for the fare there.”


The tears of Afa fell. He has no power to hold it anymore. Now not only losing her fiance, but also having to be willing to lose her Mama Artha who she already considers like her own mother.


“Not that, baby. That's not what Mama.” means


“Nnothing Ma. It's all wrong, Afa. There is nothing wrong. Ma, sorry Afa matiin first phone yes. Afa no other business.”


After saying his greetings, Afa immediately hung up her phone. Artha's mother called again, but she did not answer. Now Aba is crying again. He remembered his memories with his family Artha. Those pleasant moments made his heart weaken again. I want it to turn back time. But at first glance, he reaffirmed that he did not want to be with a traitor a second time.


Afa looked at her mobile phone screen again. Afa ventured to read the messages sent by Artha. There are peans that contain apologies, there are messages that tell that Mama misses, there are hate messages because she thinks Afa cheated first and the last is a message of longing from her.


“Hai Fa, how are you? Surely you are happy with the others there? I've seen your post and I think Shane is a good person. If the same Shane, Mas has calmed down to let go of you and Mas will tell Mama not to hope for you again. Maybe occasionally Mas still want to send a message to Afa then if you like. Because sometimes I miss. Usually every morning Afa sends a good morning, do not forget to eat, the spirit of learning. Usually every night Afa sends a good night, good dreams, good sleep. Now it's all gone because of Mas' selfishness. No more bringing nyemangatin learning when again really lazy. Maybe Deby is close by distance, but he can't be as attentive as Afa. It turned out that even though Afa had only disappeared for a few days, everything changed a lot. All that was lost, I miss him. But Afa don't feel burdened huh. I'm fine here.”


Afa's cry broke out as if understanding there was still a sense left between them. But her heart came back strong when she recalled the incident a few days ago in Artha's room. Once again, deep down, she still loved Artha. It was just that his sense of disappointment was still greater so he was also reluctant to give a second chance.


“Fa, read it but it's not answered. If I could just meet Aba. Someone wants to talk about both. Mas's already in front of the alley of Afa's house. Mas go inside or Afa who wants to go out?” a message from Atha returned.


Afa was shocked to read the last message from Artha. Artha immediately dressed neatly and left the house to meet Artha.


Arriving in front of the alley of the house of Afa, it turned out to be true. Afa saw Artha's car parked. Afa saw Artha get out of her car and waved her hand. Afa approached him. Artha asked Afa to come in and finally, she said.


They both feel awkward. No words were spoken from the two for the next few minutes. Both of them look like they are with a stranger when they are not connected just a few days.


“Fa!” call Artha.


“iya?” Ask Afa.


“No one will be angry, right if Mas take the road? We had lunch outside yes.” Ask Artha.


“Neither way?” Answer the ketus.


Artha just smiled. He knew that Afa was not okay. However, Artha had known Afa for a long time.8 years was not a short time to get to know each other. But it was because of his selfishness that he lost 8 precious years.
