Litha returned home to City A alone on the morning train of the day. His head hurt a little from crying all night. Ninda who accompanied him was astonished, Litha who he knew was a strong figure, never showed his tears and always looked fine now became a crybaby. His heart is easily touched, whether sad or happy.
"Why, Nin? Kok daydreamed," said Bona carrying a tray of burgers, fries and two large glasses of coke float at one of the burger shops in the mall.
Ninda just drove Litha to the station before promising to meet Bona at the mall owned by the Pradipta Family. Until now, Ninda has not told about her friendship with Bona to Litha. She was afraid that if she mentioned Bona's name, Litha would be sad to remember her husband.
"Bon, can't I ask you something? Do you know how Young Master is doing?"
"Well! Why are you asking?" Bona was not happy to hear that.
"I just want to know the news after the divorce with Litha."
"Divorce? When's? He or Yan never told me anything. Ahhh .. shit! They either consider me a friend or not, why do I always know from others about them. But why didn't Mona tell me? Don't you think he doesn't know yet ?" grouse Bona.
"Who? Mona's? that means Ramona, Young Master's ex?"
Bona nodded as she sipped her drink, "Mona loves Rayyendra very much. If he knew this news he would be very happy, hehehehe ...."
"Haissshhhh ...Women whose mouths are full can it be trusted? is he sincere?"
"I've known him since college with Ray and Abyan. It's kind of messing with her guy, but she's a good woman, really."
"If she were a good woman, it would be impossible to be that spiteful with Litha to the point of intimidating Litha with inappropriate words. Though he knew Litha's marriage was only temporary but still he attacked Litha in a cheap and tacky way. Good thing my best friend is cool, he can turn things around making Mona speechless, hahahahaha ..."
Bona was shocked, "Oh huh? Know where?"
"I'm his eyewitness, do you want to hear what he's saying?"
Ninda picks up her phone, looking for the voice recording she recorded when Ramona provoked Litha at the spa some time ago. Listened to the voice recording to Bona.
"Can you hear it for yourself, right, what's that evil mouth? I don't like him."
Although in Bona's eyes, Ramona is a good girl only she loves Ray too much to be acutely possessive, but Bona chose to be quiet and did not want to comment much. He was afraid that Ninda would be angry with him just because he was perceived to be more on Ramona's side than Litha. But what Ninda said also had a point. Anyone who is said like that will be hurt, there could even be a fight between each other, but Litha replied elegantly and instead made Ramona not wart.
"But I'm sorry to see Litha now, Bon. He was so easy to cry. Scribbles on his scripts and gossip on campus could make him cry for a long time. Though let alone cry, seeing his sad face was rare. He's not the Litha I know. Where now his body is thinner and his face is more pale."
"Gossip? What gossip?"
"When Litha was working for the Big Lady, one college campus gossiped her sugar baby from the moneyed om-om who picked her up on campus. Evan came to me. Know who you mean by money? Mr. Sas, hahahahaha .... "
"Evan?"
It turns out that he doesn't know much. Ninda innocently tells how Evan felt about Litha from the first time they met in the first semester until now and how the last reaction of her cousin to meet Litha last time at her boarding house.
"Mahaha ... " Bona laughed loudly, he did not expect at all, the world is indeed this narrow. Moreover, this Evan will wait for his widow Litha, what if Ray hears? Bona did not stop imagining his best friend's irritated face.
"You laugh anyway, I'm offended ..."
"Sorry, Nin. I'm not expecting you. I was just wondering if the world is this narrow hahahahahaha .... Evan awaits his widow Tuan Muda Pradipta huahahaha .... "
Ninda was irritated, took three fries and put them into Bona's mouth which was wide open from laughing, "Slow down your voice!"
"Hahahahahaha .. is impossible! Sad why try? As far as I know Litha also wants to finish her marriage and live her life as before meeting the Pradipta Family." it was Ninda's laugh, but awkward turn.
"Abyan thinks they're both stuck alone with the deal they made."
"You mean?" tanya Ninda chewed her fries.
"Ray's been a bit of a frenetic and fast-rising blood for the last few months. He was like a madman, smiling to himself, then sad and angry to himself. In the office, everyone must understand the mood of his boss who is ugly. Hmmmppffffhhh, I just threw the world ball. Good thing I can avoid it if it doesn't leak my head."
"Haaaa?!? Why the hell?"
"Ah, it's nothing, just because it's wrong to say." Bona refuses to say he was thrown for asking Ray to persuade Ninda to meet him. Embarrassed.
"Sad. Who do you think Young Master's heart is now to?"
"Let's see, Ray's having a hard time expressing his feelings. Even with Ramona, he was ordinary, never once did Ray say love to Mona. Mona alone who love dead hehehehe...."
Very compact their friendship, without realizing Bona and Ninda are comfortable with each other.
...🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀...
Litha failed to get a plane ticket for City A because the day's flight at the morning's hour was all full, finally now Litha is on the express train. His heart was lost hearing the last news of his mother that he had just received before the train departed. Mother's condition is increasingly critical, Litha was asked to come immediately, Vania was already picked up by Uncle Tino from her dorm.
"Tha, ask you to use your private plane, Young Master, come here, let's hurry. Your mother is getting critical, Vania has seen your mother, Uncle is afraid that you are late ..."
Uncle Tino did not continue his sentence, nor was he able to continue it, but he had to convey it to Litha so that at least his nephew could see his mother last time. The doctors have raised their hands, the condition that initially improved do not know why it suddenly dropped dramatically since two weeks ago and decreased until now.
Tears flooded Litha's face, her eyes were swollen, crying constantly, already her mother's critical state, Uncle Tino reminded her again of Ray who last night had accidentally met, and she was with Ramona.
Her family in City A did not know Ray was going through a divorce with her. Intentionally he did not tell, waiting after officially receiving proof of divorce in the form of a new deed he will convey.
Litha opens her wallet, there is a happy family photo before the fateful event of Kak Tisha comes. Litha rubbed the photo, It's sad that she lost one by one in this photo. His father who had left, his mother who was increasingly critical and his brother who was still in treatment made his heart sliced.
Not accidentally there was a long small object like a stick poking from the end of his wallet. Ah, he forgot, last week he felt strange why he had not come to the moon, when he should have gotten it several times.
Litha was afraid to test her urine with an over-the-counter pregnancy test kit at the pharmacy. It felt like his world had stopped when line two was clearly visible there. She was pregnant, Rayyendra's seed settled and developed in her womb.
Her pregnancy is still she keeps herself, she is confused as to how. Should he tell Ray? What if he refuses? since he himself said unintentionally, everything that happened that night was out of his control, it would definitely be very painful if Litha heard it. If in the end he accepts, what good will he have to?
Aaaaaaarrrrrtggghhhhhw ....
Litha wanted to scream as loud as possible. Why is his path like this? Does she have to be a single parent? Not that he could not, but he could not let his son grow up without a father figure. Like a hornless unicorn, that's what a child who grows up without a father can feel even though the mother can take on all of the father's roles.
