The Cost of Trust

Your past makes me doubt

I pulled Imah's arm to sit down to make it quieter.

"Then, what do you want?"

"I often say, I want Aziz to come back with me!"

"Sir, I'm just trying to forgive you huh. But don't expect me to forget everything that happened!"

"Good job!"

"Now, what do you want mbak?", I asked again.

"I told you, I don't have any plans yet!", Lili placed her hand on the display case. He noticed someone playing with Diaz on the floor.

"Via?", call Lili.

The owner of the name looked at the direction that called his name. Why would anyone call that name?

"Lili?", Hayu got up from the floor. Now she is sitting with Diaz and Faiz.

"God! Changing your appearance like this can indeed change your bad past Hayu!"

I was puzzled to see Lili and Hayu's expressions alternating.

"I've changed Lili, since I knew Royan!"

"What for ten years become Royan's wife, you can be a Muslimah....!"

"I'm not good Lili!"

Okay, this time I'll be a spectator among them. They know each other?

"Dian.. You better be careful with this woman!"

"Why should I be careful about Hayu's mother, aren't you the one who is more aggressive toward my Husband?"

"Yes.but at a minimum, I'm to the same point Lo!"

"What do you mean by mbak?"

"Are you going to tell me yourself?"

"Via?" I looked at Hayu.

"Imah, take the kids back!"

"Yes mbak!"

He took the two little boys to his room.

"I told you Dian, be careful of this pretentious hypocrite!"

"Astagfirullah mbak Lili!"

"You don't know what he looks like!"

"Whatever it is, it's none of your business Lili!"

"Whatever! I don't care about you. I only care about my boyfriend."

Lili also left the stall arrogantly.

Again, our conversation was interrupted because there was a buyer. Indeed, it's best to talk at home. Not in front of a stall like this.

"Bah Hayu, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I'm confused, where to start?"

I took a deep breath.

"If Hayu's mom is ready, yes story. If not, then it's okay!"

"Sorry, Dian, maybe I can't tell you now."

"Yes to Hayu! Just relax."

"Mbak Dian is so good....!"

"I? Ok? Good from where the hell is Mama?"

"Yes, fine."

I smiled, but somehow I saw Hayu was just weird.

"Mbak Dian knows Lili?"

"Yes. How do you know him too?"

"The story is long." Hayu's eyes glared far ahead.

"Its okay!", I started to concern myself with my wares in the storefront.

"Sir, is your husband Aziz Abisatya Nugroho?", asked Hayu. I glanced at him, then stopped my activities.

"Bak Hayu knew my husband before?"

"No, but just know . I'm just wondering if he's the same person."

"I mean?", I began to think.

Hayu took a slow breath.

"Maybe I should tell ya mbak."

"It's up to Hayu, I won't force."

Hayu also started telling stories.

Twelve years ago, while Aziz and Lili were still dating Hayu often with them. Aziz knew him as Via. Cos friends Lili.

But right now, Aziz did not remember the via at all. Except to be known as Hayu.

No exception, when via trying to tempt Aziz. Lili's anger culminates when Aziz defends Via, hell does nothing. Then, Lilies decided to move out of the boarding house.

Words after words that lili uttered, made Via realize how stupid he had been. Liked his own friend's girlfriend.

But, one day he meets another lily who has been holding another man. What about Aziz?

Via tried to find out, but it turned out that the shocking news was actually heard. Lili leaves Aziz for granted, for the sake of a more established man. She was Royan, Hayu's late husband.

Via who at that time could not think long, back to act. In the past, when Via wanted Aziz, Lili came like a persecuted person who was being hurt.

Apparently, Royan is no less interesting. Royan has millions of charms. In addition to her beautiful face, she was also very polite. He comes from a good family. Unlike Via, the girl is a big deal because of circumstances.

One day, via trying to get acquainted with Royan. Pretending to accidentally hit him.

Royan also welcomed the introduction. The more days, the closer. Until finally, Royan moved away from Lili.

Lili did the same thing to me.

"Via, you are too much, you know?! Yesterday, I was with Aziz Lo gangguin. Now I'm the same Royan, Lo disturbin too?Is it in Lo's heart that just wants me? What's wrong with Lo Via?"

"Lili!", snapped Royan.

"Royan, do you prefer this woman over me?"

"Lili, stop talking bad like that. Via isn't as bad as you think!"

"Why do you prefer him Royan?"

"Because he's not as stubborn as you, who only wants to be obeyed his wishes. But I don't want to hear anyone else!"

"Go back to Aziz, if you want!"

"Royuan!"

"We broke up!", Royan held Via's arm away from Lili. Lili's easy, just screaming indistinctly.

Time goes on, mas Royan makes Via feel comfortable. Until finally, Royan decided to marry Via. Although initially their marriage was about the Royan family, but they still survive even until the end of Royan's life. Via who is urgently, slowly changes his attitude, he said until his appearance as now. Muslim appearance with a wide hijab. Mandatory prayers, even sunnah fasting he often do. Royan brought about a major change in his life.

Hayu ended the story.

"Mak Hayu, have you ever liked my husband?", I was wondering.

"I don't know, I think at the time, because I just wanted to compete with Lili."

"But, if there is no intention now, right?", I asked slowly but with emphasis.

"No mbak. You guys have been kind enough to accommodate me to work here, is a joy in itself for me mbak. I am so grateful."

I nodded slowly. Should I also be careful with Hayu? It could be mas Aziz tempted, after all mbak Hayu also not less beautiful than Lili.

"Mr Dian, is it okay? Sorry, if my story makes mbak Dian...!"

"No, just calm down. Heheheh!"

"Eh, but how did Lili call me mbak by the name of Via? Who exactly is my name?"

"My name is Stevia Winata. I come from a family that is not harmonious. Mas Royan changed my name to Rahayu. But, on my name card is still Stevi mbak!''

"Owh...!"

*******

My phone is ringing in my pocket.

Karim? Tumben he called.

[Hello, Karin?]

[Hey, real housewives. You have completely forgotten about me. How many years have you met me, huh?] Shouted Karin from there.

Karin's voice made me forget for a moment about my concern about Aziz mas that Hayu once liked.

[Lo just go to the house. Ponakan Lo is big!]

[ Really? Okay, I'm otw!]

[Haha, really. Where is Emang Lo?]

[Gue just landed, occasionally returning to the homeland is not a problem dong?]

[Boom Lo]

We ended our conversation. Because I asked Hayu to tell me about his past with lilies, now I am just in the face of worry.

"Sir, I go in first?", said my.

"Sir, Dian.sorry yes..if my story is less pleasing."

"It's easy, I'm used to facing everything!", I tried to smile.

I took Diaz from Fimah's room.

"Diaz mbak take it in yes, mbak want to tambahan."

"Yes mbak!"

I rubbed Faiz's head.

"Faiz if you want to fall asleep is okay, Aunt stay ahead huh ?!"

"Yes Aunt."

When Imah ahead, Hayu is busy serving buyers.
