THE PEBINOR

Chapter 66 - THE PEBINOR

"It's like ayang satan taman deh." Melisa's chirps made Arvin immediately turn his head for a moment.

"You mean?"

"Yes, since from the park, you continue to be comfortable with an unclear smile, why?" Melisa's asking made Arvin chuckle.

"Well, in the question is not the answer instead laugh."

"Why can you think of me if I'm stuck anyway, which?"

"Yes out of it was a smiley smile not clear." Reply to Melisa again. 

"I'm just grinning, hehe."

"What's the matter, Ay?" Melisa asked with a frown astonished to see Arvin who had just kept smiling sweetly. 

"Sincerely, because the steps I make have you completely will soon be realized, dear." Arvin's reply made Melisa sigh. Of course it did not escape Arvin's vision.

"Aren't you happy, honey?"

"It's not bad, which. But it felt like it was heavy, I've been with that guy for three years. Now it should run aground because we're both unhappy." 

"Yes, you're both looking for happiness, aren't you? Dion's with Gia, and you're with me, baby." Answer Arvin.

"Yes, that's the truth. We're never happy."

"Yes, you're the one who's never been happy with this marriage." Arvin said, he rubbed the top of Melisa's head gently and then kissed her forehead.

"So I should have given up, right?"

"Yes, of course, baby. A man like Dion doesn't deserve to be defended." Firmly Arvin made Melisa look up at the handsome face of the man. 

"But I feel bad for judging Dion like this, and I cheated on him."

"Here you go, there's no need to feel that way. Isn't he meaner than you, baby? He's already hurting your body and your heart." Said Arvin again, Melisa nodded her head. In fact, Dion has too often hurt his physical heart too. 

"Yes, anyway."

"We eat yuk?" Take Arvin, make Melisa's face sparkle instantly. For some reason, she felt like eating chicken noodles at this time.

"Chicken noodle stuff."

"Okay, let's go yuk." Take Arvin, the second was stopping at the rest area after filling up the gasoline, so hearing that the woman wanted to eat chicken noodles, Arvin decided to go back on the journey. 

"Yuk, want chicken noodles that have a claw. I think it's delicious, which is."

"Yes, we'll go, baby." Arvin replied with a smile, Melisa nodded and they went back on their way, of course while looking for chicken noodles for her women.

Until at the crossroad, Arvin stopped the pace of his two-wheeled vehicle at a chicken noodle shop. Melisa goes straight down, she looks very happy when Arvin stops her vehicle. 

"Seezeneng is you, who?" Asked Arvin, Melisa nodded quickly and enthusiastically. He was so happy when he wanted to eat something Arvin immediately agreed.

Arvin just shook his head when he saw Melisa looked very enthusiastic, but would only eat chicken noodles but she looked very happy. 

"Yep, come in." Arvin took Melisa's hand into the store. The two sat down, Melisa directly ordered chicken noodles claw and baso. Arvin only eats chicken noodles. 

It didn't take long, their order of chicken noodles had arrived, a waiter placed two bowls of chicken noodles in front of Arvin and Melisa. Both eyes of Melisa sparkled to see the chicken noodles that look very appetizing.

"Let's eat, baby."

"Can you use sambel?" Melisa asked, Arvin took a bowl of sambel and poured two tablespoons of sambel in Melisa's chicken noodles.

"Already, darling. Don't add any more, huh? You have to cut down on eating spit, let's go promil later." 

"Hmm, yes, dear." Melisa replied resignedly, she stirred her chicken noodles and ate them greedily. Arvin smiled slightly as he watched Melisa eat voraciously, even to the point of being overwhelmed. 

"Gosh, baby. You're a big boy, but eat his cane gini." Said Arvin while rubbing the corner of Melisa's lips with tissue. 

"Hehe, sorry."

"Slowly eat it, no one will ask for it, dear." 

"Yes, baby." Melisa replied with a cry. 

"After this we go straight home?" Arvin said, Melisa nodded in agreement. 

In short, after finishing his meal, the two went home. As usual Melisa asked to go down in a place a little far away so as not to provoke suspicion of the citizens against her or Arvin. If the citizens are suspicious, it can be fatal due to it. 

Melisa went inside the house, doing her usual activities. She cleans her body in the bathroom for a few minutes, then dresses and cooks as usual. Even at nightfall, he did not go to Arvin's house and chose to sleep at home alone because Dion did not exist. It was possible that he had just finished his marriage to Gia at this moment. 

The next morning, Melisa woke up early to buy vegetables. He still has money given Arvin, the money given by Dion is still left so he can shop for vegetables today. 

"Again, Neng." Sapa Bu Ratmi, as usual. Melisa simply replied with a smile and a nod of her head, then sat down beside Ms. Amel. 

"Neng, this week's rally is the last." Said Mrs Amel. 

"Yes, Mom. So next week I start paying again." 

"Yes, neng." Answer Ms. Amel slowly. Melisa did win three more times, but because she felt it was quite surprising that every Sunday she received the money, so she kept it in Bu Amel until her last number. So, when he wins he will receive enough money at once. He had also asked Arvin for his approval, and the man agreed. 

"What plan to cook, Neng?" Ask Mrs Ratmi. 

"Buddy, Mom. See you later, I like to think if you've seen his vegetable brother."

"Neng, how's your husband?" Tanya Bu Amel ventured.

"How else, Mom. Yeah, he's gonna have to take responsibility for what he's done." Melisa replied making the others look at Melisa with a sad look.

"Are you okay, neng?"

"Well, Mom. Very good in fact, it's okay." 

"Did your husband marry her affair?" Ask Ms. Amel again.

"Yes, they got married last night, Mom. I just don't think I have to look. So I just chose to sleep at home." Melisa Sam replied with a small smile.

"Come, Ma. I'm numb like her, a pain that I can make my heart feel normal." Obviously Melisa. 

"Excite yes, Neng. So, what do you want in front of him?" 

"Definitely, Mom. I must be excited, my world is not only with Mas Dion, but there are also others. Make her forward, I'll file for divorce." Melisa answered making all the mothers who were gathering looked at Melisa. 

"Divorce?"

"Yes, Mom. I don't want to be in polygamy, nor do I like to share what's already mine." Reply to Melisa again.

"It's wise of you, Neng. The spirit continues."

"Yes, Mom." Melisa replied, she smiled sweetly making the others feel defeated Melisa so mature addressing this matter. Though, this was all he could do thanks to Arvin, he could not be this strong without the support of that handsome man. 

Shortly after, Arvin came out of his home in his national outfit, especially if not his favorite short-sleeved shirt and knee-length color pants. 

"Morning, Mother." Say, long enough he did not sit and chat with mothers who would buy vegetables near his house.

"Morning, Son Arvin." 

Arvin was sitting next to Melisa, a bit close because the empty place was a bit narrow, but it did not make the mothers suspicious because their interactions look ordinary, natural without making up. 

"So, how's the continuation of the Dion bang case, ma'am?" Arvin asked opened the conversation, although quite surprised but Melisa tried to answer as she could, calmly. 

"What's the point? Yes he should marry that woman." Answer Melisa.

"How about yourself?" Ask Arvin again.

"Where's what?"

"What divorce do you want?"

"Divorce, in the further will also not really like it." Answer Melisa.

"Yes, he got divorced from Neng. A man who has cheated once, will not rule out the possibility that he will cheat again in the future." Catch Madam Ratmi.

"Hmm, yes it is. Don't go in a man's defense like that, like there's no other man." Said Ms. Amel while chuckling softly.

"Well, I'm a man too." Cetus Arvin made the sight of the mothers fixed in his direction.

"You want a widow?" 

"You, if the widow is like Melisa, who wouldn't. It's pretty, all right, pinter cook again. It's perfect, you know, Dion's bang is not grateful." Arvin's chirps made Melisa's face flushed. He was embarrassed because of Arvin's words that seemed to boast in front of the mothers there. 

"But we have to wait for Iddah first." 

"Who if I have to wait, as long as Mel's mom wants me to wait." Reply Arvin again made the mothers there chuckle.

"Not yet a widow, there is someone who is willing to be." Tempted Bu Ratmi while gently nudging Melisa's arm.

"What the hell, Mom." 

Soon after, my vegetable brother came. Melisa and the others immediately moved from her sitting, the woman looked confused to determine what menu she would cook.

"Wait ya, Neng?" Bu Amel asked Melisa, the woman nodded her head. She was confused as to what to cook today. 

Finally, Melisa also only buy vegetables and chicken only. When he finished, he went home and cooked and had breakfast. Then continue his activities by cleaning, washing dishes, washing clothes, sweeping and mopping. After everything was clean, only then could Melisa sit casually in her living room chair. 

But, during his daylight hours Dion comes with Gia, his new wife. Of course the arrival of the man provoked the cynical gaze of the citizens, especially when he saw the woman's hand that was tightly coiled around Dion's waist, making him sick. 

Dion stops his motorcycle in front of Melisa's house, the man holds Gia's hand and takes her inside the house which happens to be not in the key at all. 

Melisa who was cooking lunch was quite surprised by her second arrival. 

"Mails.." Call Dion, while Gia sways spoiled in her husband's arms.

"Yes, what's up, Mom?"

"I'm definitely coming to visit."

"For what? If it doesn't matter and just makes my heart hurt, you better just go." Reply Melisa cynically.

"What right do you have to expel me, Mel? This is my official house!" Firm Dion.

"Okay, I'll move later."

"Ckk, do you have any money?" Tanya Dion sneered.

"Have it, of course I have." Melisa replied with a small smile.

"Where is the money?"

"The feeling you don't need to know, Mom. It's none of your business."

"You peddling your body, Mel?" Dion asked which sounded very painful to Melisa. 

"Yes, I'm peddling my body." Melisa replied flatly, without looking towards the husband.

"Relisa.."

"What?" Ask Melisa cynically. 

"You really did that?"

"Why is it? What care about you, Mom? Have you ever thought about me once? About my feelings? Don't you? Then why are you asking now as if you care?" Melisa asked with her bitter smile making Dion stare at her first wife's face wryly.

"You want to eat? Let me prepare for a moment." Melisa. He turned off the stove and served food on the table.

"Please eat, I'm out first." Melisa said, she left the kitchen without looking back.
