Throw Your Ex In His Place !
Ep. 94
“Thank you,” said Dara expressionlessly. “Where is my husband?” she continued and she emphasized the word husband in her question.
“There's behind. He was receiving a call,” Farhan replied. His face changed immediately. He folded his legs sitting beside Dara.
“Order has come,” said Lia by carrying two plastic bags full of snacks. While behind him stood a middle-aged man carrying a tray with five bowls of chicken noodles on it. Then the father put it in front of Lia.
“Let's eat! Please who want to take it yourself yes,” continued Lia transmit one by one the packages contained in the plastic bag that he carries.
“Wah! It looks good,” said Ardi who suddenly came and sat down to the left of his wife. “Where do you get yougurt, Ra?”
Ardi's question made Dara almost choke as she gulped down her drink. “From Brother Farhan. Didn't you buy it for me, sister?” dara asked after swallowing her drink.
“No. I didn't get into the mini market because I had to take a call from Iqbal,” Ardi said. “In addition to mineral water it turns out that all snacks purchased by Kak Farhan are Dara's favorite snacks. Whoa! Brother Farhan is great. Looks like Kak Farhan has known my wife for a long time.”
“No, Di,” elak Farhan. “Just a coincidence. I just take it. Actually these are also all foods that my lover used to love.”
“Didn't you last night Brother Farhan promised me to give it up,” Febri said. “Then, why now bring it up again?”
“Entahlah. It seemed like this morning my heart started to wobble again when I saw it was not well taken care of by her husband. I'm sure I'm better than her husband. I will take care of him with all my soul and body. I will not let her body scratched even a little bit,” Farhan explained.
“Where did Kak Farhan see it? Wasn't Brother Farhan home this morning?” lia asked as she raised her chopsticks flanking the noodles towards her mouth.
“Eh .. I know from the phone. Her husband called me asking for my help to contact a doctor who can take care of his wife,” kilah Farhan.
“Indeed he why Kak?” ask Lia curious.
“Eh ... she fell in the bathroom.”
“Just like Dara this morning,” chirps Ardi while continuing to stir his noodles with a spoon. “So sister loves him so much huh? Until the time she had a husband, Kak Farhan did not give up on chasing her.”
“Because her husband is not so good to take care of his wife.”
“Then why did Kak Farhan betray him when he loved him so much?” asked Ardi again by throwing his probing gaze.
“I admit I made a mistake, but after that I am very sorry and want to apologize to him and then we start again from the beginning. But it was not as beautiful as imagined. Before I apologized and explained it, she refused to talk to me.”
“Mm .. so.” Ardi nodded in understanding. “It doesn't need to be discussed anymore. We just continue eating it.”

Finished sipping the mineral water, Dara invited Lia to go around in the park. He wants to avoid the tension that still feels between Ardi and Farhan. They go around enjoying the atmosphere.
Netra Dara is spoiled with beautiful city light views. The twinkling color of the lamp bewitched his eyes so as not to turn away from him. The sight made Dara fall asleep until she was unwittingly separated from Lia.
Bugh! Someone hit his shoulder accidentally. Dara began to realize that she turned out to be alone in the crowd. “Li-Lia,” says Dara stamped.
Dara spread her surrounding views. He was trying to find someone he knew among the passers-by. “Li-Lia,” he said again in a higher tone.
“Duh! How am I going home? My phone is in the bag and the bag is left behind. What should I do now?” said Dara while continuing to circulate his views.
Dara tried to step up to find her way back to where she was, but she was encouraged by a group of teenagers joking on the side of the road. “Sorry, Tea, accidentally,” said one of the teenagers who hit him.
“Iya,” Dara replied briefly. Then he quickly left the place trying to find a way home. His feelings are now filled with anxiety. Tears have started to pile up on the edge of her eyelids. Once he blinked then the clear circle would immediately slide down his cheek.
“Kak Ardi, where are you?” said Dara lirih. “I'm scared, Brother. I'd like to meet you. Brother, please find me.”
A few minutes of walking in confusion makes Dara's legs feel sore. He stopped his steps. Loaded with grass he leaned his back against a garden lamp post by tightly hugging his knees.
Dara started nibbling on her thumb nails. He kept his eyes out. “So, don't you know that I'm lost now? I now feel alone amidst these strangers,” muttered Dara.
Dara's eyelids could not hold back any longer the tears that kept pushing out. Clear circles began to wet her cheeks and with the back of her hand, she continued to try to wipe away the traces of water that were drawn on her cheeks. But soon, tears came back from her clear eyes.
Dara felt strange with herself this time because she did not normally feel this weak. “I am indeed a whiny child, but I do not know why this time I feel very sad when away from Kak Ardi. It's not like I used to be. Why?” ask Dara in my heart.
“From!” someone shakes his name from afar. Directly Dara turned her head to the source of the sound. His eyes sparkled as his net caught the shadow he so longed for in the last few tens of minutes.
Dara immediately got up from her seat. He could no longer control his feelings. As the man got closer to himself, the faster he ran in his arms. He spilled all his feelings on the chest of the field now in his arms. The scent of the body that he so longed for the last few minutes now he can suck it deep.
“Sister, I'm scared. I strayed. I miss Kak Ardi,” said Dara sobbing while continuing to hold tightly to her husband's strapping body.
Ardi kisses the hair of Dara gently. “I'm scared too, Ra. I'm afraid something happened to you. But, it's fine now. I've found you. After this I won't let you out of my sight for a second. My heart is beating fast and I'm sure you feel it too. I'm afraid of losing you, Ra.” Ardi increasingly clutched tightly Dara's tiny body like he did not want to take it off again.
