The Single Parent

ARIF POV

Two weeks later, at Arif's workplace, there was a meeting that discussed employee leave, which decided that employees who get additional leave because there is a riot to replace with work during the leave obtained.

In the morning Arif sipped a cigarette sitting on the terrace of his mes, Deni who saw his best friend alone then approached him.

“What's the problem Rif? I know that if you smoke it must be a problem,” asked Deni.

“I think of Rinda there Den, the next five weeks I can just go home, should be two more weeks I've been able to meet my wife,” replied Arif in a soft voice with a cigarette in his hand.

“Please Rif,” entertain Deni.

“Rinda is now two months and a half pregnant Den, I'm afraid it happens like it used to again.” Arif's worries are too deep for Rinda.

“Just pray a lot Rif,” Deni said.

“You will call Rinda often, how are you doing there?” ask Deni.

“Saying is fine, two more weeks she checked again to the doctor, My mother is still in Jogja waiting for my sister Vera who is also pregnant, even Vera's pregnancy is problematic.” Start Arif telling stories.

“Now your wife with whom at home?” ask Deni.

“Sama My mother-in-law, while the Father-in-law in his own house, this is Den, I as a man can provide family finances but can not be on the family side when they need me, I can not be on the family side when they need me, I know Rinda is not a materialistic woman like the women I used to know.” Arif's Story.

“From you to here let's go for a walk, this holiday, let's go to Timika,” take Deni.

“I'm also coming.” Yusuf Sahun.

“Let's get ready there,” Deni said.

The three men entered the mes each headed to Timika, we borrowed a vehicle from the office to Timika.

Up there, we walked around the city of Timika, if you can say the development here with my hometown in Java is better here, if you can say, a lot of the actual bule traffic they work in the same place as me.

We went to a restaurant there.

“Den, we'll just go there,” Arif said while parking the vehicle in the parking lot.

“Come,” replied Yusuf.

The three of us walked along in jest.

“Rif, you still can't make love?” ask Yusuf.

“Ya self-issued Suf,” replied Arif.

“You didn't try to buy?” ask Joseph again.

“That's your fear, pity my wife later if you get a disease,” replied Arif casually.

“The two of you are why you are single, good to know if you are married,” I said.

“I feel calmer if you want to make love, feel not burdened by sin,” I said back.

The two of them were silent and did not reply in a moment.

Then Deni began to say, “There is no Rif who wants, every knows women just want my money, but they do not love, in

behind me they play with other men.”

“Patience will definitely meet a good mate,” said Arif.

“When I leave can not come to Java, who knows meet my soul mate.” Deni.

“I also want to come.” Yusuf.

“This Yusuf follow-up,” Deni said.

“You need to know, if I do not have a stock of women I want to introduce to you,” said Arif.

“Lah... free dong we there,” Deni said.

“Yes, yes, your wife has no friends who are single?” ask Yusuf.

“There seems to be, but I didn't know they had a boyfriend or had a proposal,” replied Arif.

“Come Rif, ask your wife.” Rajuk Deni's.

“Iya later if I call I ask,” said Arif.

 “Oh yes let's sit there.” Take Arif while pointing at the seat in the restaurant when you get there.

When we wanted to sit in the visitor's seat, the waiter came to offer the food menu and then we chose what we wanted and wrote it in the order book and then gave it to the waiter again.

Before long, our order came, and we immediately enjoyed it.

When the food in front of us ran out, we did not leave the place immediately, but we chatted a lot of things, but yes the usual chatter around men he he he he.

“Rif, it looks like your ex was in Merauke,” Deni said.

“Mana Den,” asked Yusuf curious.

“Have you guys not flashy, hopefully he does not see us,” said Arif slowly.

“You don't want to see him Rif?” ask Deni.

“Last time need not be tipped, lazy I remember it” said Arif.

“Rif, he walked here,” Yusuf said.

“Leave it alone,” Arif said while drinking.

The woman approached them.

“Hai Deni, hi Arif, how are you?” he hugged Deni.

Then he came up to me and was going to hug me but I refused.

“Sorry,” says Arif with his cuek.

“I do not follow, I live first yes, you guys reunion first,” Deni said while standing and leaving Arif and Risma.

“I too,” said Yusuf followed suit.

Risma sat in front of Arif in sexy open clothes and her natural makeup, her white skin looking charming every male eye.

Arif was silent regardless of Risma who was in front of him, until a few minutes there was no talk between them, and finally

Risma started talking.

“Rif, you are no longer interested in seeing me?” risma asked, playing with her hair and rolling with her fingers.

“I used to be interested in you, now no, see you are lazy,” replied Arif coldly.

Risma walked up to Arif holding her from behind, Her breasts staring at Arif's back, making Arif uncomfortable.

“You don't do this, sit back.” Pinta Arif's.

“I miss you Rif,” whispered Risma with seduction teasing her.

“Risma!” Shouted Arif startling Risma.

Risma took off her embrace.

“You sit back!” Pinta Arif's.

Risma returned to her seat opposite Arif.

“Are you no longer interested in women?” Ask Risma.

“Do not provoke my emotions Risma,” replied Arif.

“Terus... Why did you reject me?” Risma asked with a seductive smile.

“I'm not the Arif you used to be, which you easily teased,” replied Arif.

“Ris, you should be able to change, your body is not for every man, but only for your husband" Arif said.

“Start when you speak,” said Risma in an angry tone.

“Everyone is sure to want to change to the positive Ris,” replied Arif.

“Have gone from before me, I am no longer interested in you,” said Arif.

“Are you married?” ask Risma.

“Yes, it was Erik who turned me into a positive thing,” replied Arif.

“Can you satisfy him?” ask Risma.

“He he he, what do you think I am?” ask Arif.

“You alone can not dive me, you need to know, my wife is very satisfied with me until she can conceive my son twice, while you, even though never pregnant as long as I, but I

never use safety,” said Arif make Risma's face red.

“Your path is Rif,” said Risma then stood up from her seat and left Arif.

Arif smiles satisfied to see Risma angry and leaves, then Arif heads to his two friends who are waiting in the car park.

“Why with Risma?” ask Deni.

“Obviously, that woman if she wants not to be obeyed, I am not lustful with such a woman, I prefer my own wife,” replied Arif.

“Beautiful, sexy and attractive also your ex Rif,” said Yusuf.

“If you want, you are just like him,” said Arif coldly.

“Come to Mes!” bring Deni.

We immediately left the place to our mes, during the journey, I always thought of Rinda, O God, thank you God, my heart.

After our cars were returned, we walked to each other's mes.

I opened the mes door and went inside then lay on the bed, staring at the wedding reception photo I brought and I put on the wall of my room, I miss you so much Rin, my heart said.
