The Love of the Former
DCSM chapter 74



Arritas.


I came out of the room in neat clothes. Walking into the living room where Mas Pri and Valdi were sitting and talking to each other. I don't know what they're talking about because when they see me out they immediately stop the chat.


"Absolutely not?" I asked Mas Pri after she experienced it.


I took a seat next to my husband. There's another place that's empty but I don't want to make any more trouble and sit there.


"Because Ar is here, you guys continue talking. I go inside first."


"Why what?" I asked my husband who was starting to move on from his seat.


"You're making a drink, you haven't made one yet, are you?"


"Now wait for the water to boil. Let me do it." I said and slowly pulled his arm back to sit down.


Mas Pri smiled wryly at our little debate. I know, my husband deliberately did that just to give me space to talk alone with Mas Pri.


Valdi sat himself back down. It looks a little stiff but I don't care. He's my husband, with whoever I want to meet he should be the first to know. It might be selfish but I don't want to hurt her anymore.


"want coffee what tea mas?"


"What the hell is that." Answer mas Pri.


"Yes, wait a minute."


I went back inside and went to the kitchen. A glass of coffee and tea was ready on the tray. With a plate of snacks added I rushed back to the living room.


"Please drink, drink." Mas Pri just nodded.


"So come home today?"


"The plan is tonight. Most hours of reckoning."


"Tock night? alone?"


"But it's cold let alone sleepy." My ladybug


"User is ordinary." Relaxing follow.


"He's sick? how are you doing now?" Ask my husband who has been a listener ever since.


"It's better, only sometimes his legs still ache if the road is taken too long. Like that energy. But everything is good."


Mas Pri. He who knows the root of his problems no longer speaks much. Even in a week of time he had helped me to get information about Diyah and her brother.


"Do you need therapy or other treatment?"


"You try to keep doing the doctor's instructions first. So far it has been good, although the process is a little long. But at least there's been progress."


Mas Pri nodded


I purposely made room for them to get to know each other. I don't know why I wanted to see them both so familiar. In the end I opted out for shopping and continued to prepare lunch for the three of us.


The laughter from the kitchen made me smile. The bad shadows that once existed if they were met seemed to disappear and turn into an immeasurable feeling of happiness. The misunderstanding between me and Pri is over. No more hate or hurt each other. Although the affection is undeniable there is still left in the corner of the deepest heart space.


A simple lunch led us to get to know each other better. The arrival of the Pri mas who originally wanted to meet me became a meeting between the three of us. Slowly but the awkwardness between my husband and him turned into a joke filled with laughter.


"Maybe after this we'll take a little while to get together like this again. Next week I'm leaving to go back to the neighbor." Mas Pri said as we finished lunch. Sitting on a rented terrace with a gust of wind makes the atmosphere calm again.


"Enak ya can travel even abroad all. I want to but I don't have the ability to."


"It's better here. Being with the people we love is better than anything else." Mas Pri smiled, I lowered my head and pretended not to hear what he was saying.


The conversation continued until right at 3 pm Pri said goodbye. There was no angry or upset look on the face of the two men in front of me right now. In fact, they embraced each other as parting remarks and patted each other's shoulders with laughter that looked real.


I love you both..
