The Third Match.

The Third Match.
Start Acting.



The excitement of the small family in the mall, seemed to choose this, while Marsel only followed his son and wife while pushing a stroller that already contains an assortment of groceries up to half.


"Ma, I want to play a game for a while huh" said Lita.


"Later dong, wait for Mama to finish shopping, then Mama's friend" replied Diah while looking right left.


"Alone Ma, the place is not far, that's..." Lita pointed to crowded games especially for children.


"Let's just let's have a lot of kids" Marsel said.


"Yes deh.. if Mama and Papa have not come, do not go anywhere yes" Diah's message looks worried.


"Dark... Ma" Lita is excited for the game.


Lita looked at the left right looking for a game she liked, her eyes catching the figure of a child who was about her age. The boy seemed annoyed playing the safari arcade game. But always lose.


"Hi Kak" Lita patted the boy's shoulder.


"Hi" replied the boy without turning his head, trying to win the game because if winning will get a prize car-mobilan.


"So serious" Lita stood beside him.


"Turn out, no win-win" the boy turned his head for a while then continued playing.


"Said Papa I.. Kids our age can't play that game" Lita remembers Marsel's advice.


"Masa.." The handsome boy stopped the game, then turned his seat back to the game.


"Now come with me Brother" like a buffalo on his nose, the boy followed Lita.


"We play the guessing game, later if the brother wins, I buy the cars, but... if the brother loses, must buy me this doll, how?" challenge Lita while pointing at the mobilan and the doll on the shelf.


"No, you don't have any money!" the man measures himself, he is never given money, if to school is always brought stock.


"Have it, big sister underestimated me, yes" Lita pointed to herself.


"Yes, let's play" The man observes the game that seems easy, even though he has no money then he dares to accept Lita's offer.


"Wait for Kak, before playing, we should first acquaintance, my name is Lita" Lita reached out.


"Freddy" the boy turns out Freddy welcomes Lita's hand. After getting acquainted, they then played together laughing looking familiar.


That's what kids call easy to get along with.


"Freddy..."


"Lita..."


From two sides two young women greeted each other.


"Yes Ma" Lita and Freddy turned.


"Ec. em...Gita Ma'am?"


"Di-Diah?"


The two women who had fought because a man was looking at each other, fixated on their respective places.


His throat was choked, their tongues were too faint to speak.


"Freddy.. introduce, this is my Mama" Lita held Diah's hand.


"Yes Lita, meet me too, this is my Mama" Freddy held Gita's hand. The two children who had just become acquainted also melted the atmosphere of stiffness Diah and Gita.


"You know each other?" ask Diah and Gita at the same time.


"Barusan Ma, acquaintance" replied Lita.


Diah smiled hugging Lita's shoulder from behind.


Oh, did Diah have a stepson? that meant... Married to a widower, or... Is she a second wife again? may Allah make my guess wrong.


"Diah, can I talk to you for a second?" Gita seemed to doubt whether Diah would ever forgive her. But Gita has to do that. Accepted or not, recent business.


"By Ma'am, let's just sit there" Diah pointed to the empty seat of the game.


Gita nodded then told her son to wait.


"No Mbak Gita, what Mbak did was right, if I was in the position of Mbak Gita, would definitely do the same" Diah replied at length.


"Thank you Diah, I'm now relieved" Gita looked at Diah looking full of honesty in her eyes.


"Sama-sama, Ma'am" Diah looked at Gita's already big belly. "Who are you here?" Diah pity, deep down there's a big belly Diah went alone.


"Himself Diah, my house is close from here" is true what Gita said. His new home is close to the supermarket.


"Well, by the way, how many months pregnant has she been?" Diah kept asking.


"It's been seven months more Diah, pray for good luck" said Gita.


"Aamiin.." said Diah.


They talked intimately there was no more burden between them.


"Honey..."


The voices of Marselo Diah and Gita turned.


"We want maghrib, we go home, yuk" Marsel approached. Marsel was to the toilet first after finishing collecting groceries.


"Well, meet Mas, this is my friend Gita"


"Marsel"


"Gita"


After meeting Marsel took Diah's hand. Then Diah took Lita.


Gita looked at them deeply" and she brought Freddy home.


*******


"Whose friend were you?" looking at Marsel, Diah once told me that in Jakarta he had no friends other than Rindy but Diah had introduced a friend to him.


Diah took a deep breath, then told Marsel who the Gita was.


At this time they have fallen on the bed just finished praying maghrib.


"Oh so that woman is your ex-husband's wife?" marsel's legs lock on Diah's body.


"Yes Mas, he was apologizing to me because I was hit and maki-maki with Him, but I realize how, I'm the wrong, I'm the wrong one, if I was in the position of Mbak Gita would definitely do more than that," said Diah make the heart of Marsel want to escape.


"Well, I can only hope that I don't experience the same kind of negatives as before" Diah stared at the ceiling of the mass shadow and then again.


"I'm having fun on top of other people's suffering"


"Hopefully my husband now belongs to me, and no one will be hurt anymore" Diah sucked her face under Marsel's armpit.


While Marsel, not a word spoke. He repeatedly swallowed saliva to wet his throat that felt dry.


*******


In one of the houses, a woman was receiving a report from her man. The woman is: Bella.


"Oh so the woman Ello married, has been a widow twice?" ask Bella.


"Mistress, but the woman, loves your daughter very much" Bella's man told her.


"Then you know, who was the woman who was once Diah's affair?" bella Cecar.


"Not yet"


"Find out who the woman is, if you've found report to me, and also keep an eye on what's done, you'll have to act quickly,"


"Non good, I'll do"


"One more thing, don't let Marsel or his people know, that you are my man, act carefully!" Bella ended her words.


"Neither Non, I'm sorry" The man left after getting paid.


Bella sneers cunningly.
