We, Without Me

Rival

“I go home with ojek. Mas Dion first aja.”

“You've been signed to me. So I have to take you home.”

“I just didn't want to be alone as a mosquito if I follow Ara, so I say aja Pak Rava. If Mas Dion was also in Mr. Rava's car, yes I was with them. Better alone than alone to be a mosquito. So Mas Dion first. As I recall, Mr. Rava said Mas Dion should go to the hospital again, right? I'm in advance aja.”

“Can't. Need proof that I have to send to Bang Rava if you've taken you home.”

"Look, I'll take a selfie."

Raising next to his eyebrows while smiling obliquely, Dion shook his head softly. "You think Bang Rava is easy to fool? He's a crazy detail. What else had promised Ara that I would take you home without being scratched."

“But ...”

Yuki's words are interrupted by the joy of a teenage girl and an adult boy who is busy easing the cries of babies. The success of it distracts and makes Yuki gawk, while Dion is only able to save the question through the eyes of curious without a word said.

Because the two humans who are adrift of distant age it looks compact despite the hassles of the hysterical cry of a rebellious little baby. The adorable little movement behind the sling clearly confirms that there is a coveted freedom.

"Which one is it?"

"Udah's up, Nit. It was drunk."

"Argh, Om this is a habit. Later if Angga bloated again how?" gerutu Nita was upset while still holding a tiny baby named Angga.

"Yes sorry, he's fussy if there's no you. Though ordinary caregivers are not too fussy either."

“And I told you to go to Mother Ai's place, so every day I can tengokin.” Still holding her hand, Nita again grumbled at Saka. “Later Mother Ai was like a second home for me with children there. Mostly Mother would be very fond if Angga diitipin. There his children already on the big, certainly many who take care of Angga. Her babysitter brother Angga can also come, Om.”

“Where do you live if your nanny comes?” ask Saka in frustration. His thick and blackened eye bags are clear enough to indicate his sleep reduced a lot. Of course the main cause of the Little One is fussy.

On the other hand, the pupils of Yuki and Dion's eyes moved in rhythm, simultaneously with Nita and Saka's reciprocated arguments. Though Yuki had tried to ignore for a moment the presence of Saka with a baby who was crying strongly.

Grep.

Just as Yuki's feet took a step forward, yet had time to reprimand Nita, she was already startled by the gentle touch on her arm. The wide palm with sturdy fingers that were thought to belong to Dion turned out from another figure who in recent days had never seen him again.

A few seconds into shock, Yuki suddenly dodged. Grazing quickly erased the shadow of the figure he thought imaginary. Unfortunately the distinctive aroma of the highly recognizable perfume broke Yuki's consciousness, all of it not a mere delusion.

“Mas Keven?” yuki said hesitantly while holding her breath. Her heart was pounding quite strongly without Yuki understanding for what reason again this time.

If the shocking appearance of Saka has got an answer, then there is no other explanation for Yuki to meet Keven in front of this wedding-style boutique. Without the need to be ordered various presumptions have been milling around in Yuki's head.

“What business are you here with him?” tanya Keven, pressing the word ‘dia’ while staring fiercely at Dion. Keven's thoughts were muddled, his chest rumbling uneasily, certainly all due to the presence of another male by Yuki's side whom he considered a rival. What else had just both come out of a special boutique that Keven never wanted to imagine what the two had done inside.

A moment later Keven rolled his lazy eyeball at the reply of the friendly smile that Dion gave. Obviously Keven increasingly dislikes the man who has only met 2 times.

“Nothing. Come on, Nit, we go home,” said Yuki quickly without giving a definite answer.

The girl approached Nita who had already managed to calm Angga down. Trying to ignore Keven even though he was determined to break up only changed the status of husband and wife to become ordinary friends, because in fact it is difficult to be ordinary with Keven when the divorce has occurred.

“You know that nanny?” chirping Keven, he was still trying to provoke a chat with Yuki. Trying to slow down time so you can stay longer with Yuki.

Rejecting her eyes, Yuki turned to Keven with a twitch on her forehead. “Nanny? Mean babysitter?” Let's say Keven justifies.

Sontak Yuki drew closer, standing between Saka and Nita, glaring at the clumsy looking teenager and Saka who wanted to interrupt but was silenced quickly by Yuki's hand movements.

“Abang you know you cooperate om-om?” yuki said spontaneously loudly and her eyelids were wide open. Surprising a few listening ears. What else Saka really wants to protest when dikatai 'om-om'.

“Om-om what the hell, Brother?” nita gelagapan said. He seemed to ask, even though he understood the meaning of Yuki's words.

“You think you don't know Mas Saka?! He's an om-om for you!” ketus Yuki while menoyor temple Nita. Those glaring eyes instantly made Nita's guts shrink. Lucky there is Angga who diverts a little nervousness Nita.

Honestly Yuki does not matter if Nita works as a babysitter as long as she is able to manage her time. He also understands the most entitled to regulate Nita only Dimas, but if it has to be with Saka, then Yuki strongly objected. Because Saka is an adult man who lives alone even though he is now alone with the child, regardless of his status which is also a widower.

“Kak Yuki promise yes don't tell Brother?” pinta Nita with a twinkle in her eyes. His lips curved down as if showing off helplessness.

“Awarranty?” yuki said as she raised her right palm.

“Ish, this Brother!! Please, don't tell me brother. I do not work anyway, just help care Angga if there is free time.”

“Lo says she's a babysitter, how the hell, Ka?” keven whispered to Saka who Yuki still heard.

“Ikut Brother came home or now also Brother said to Dimas you have to play the same om-om?!” threatening Yuki with a low voice, her face look very fierce. Rejected Nita's eyes that denied the strong.

"Don't talk about it, Ki!" tegur Saka's.

"Remember the age, Mas. Mas Saka was an om-om for Nita. My mind is so ugly! Just be careful if Mas Saka has bad intentions! I won't stay silent." Yuki pressed every sentence, even practicing the style of squeezing a coconut grater that ended the attraction at mochi.

“Bring to Kos Brother first. Explain everything to Brother today too!” yuki firmly on Nita before facing Saka while asking, “so Kak Alia is already born?”

“Udah,” Saka and Keven reply simultaneously.

“Evenings on the day of your thesis hearing, Alia gave birth,” Keven said again continuing his words. Sneaking a question that was actually intended for Saka.

“So this ...,” says Yuki hangs. His hand pointed doubtfully at the baby who was already asleep in Nita's sling.

“My son,” said Saka quickly, sauteing the paused sentence Yuki while elbowing Keven who has now glared sharply.

"Okay, I get it now." Nod Yuki quickly. The next instant he said while asking Saka for permission, "Nita should come with me home. So I beg Mas Saka to let Mas Saka's son take us. Rather than her crying again, it's better for the same while we're."

"OKAY. Send me your current address. I'll come with Angga's nanny."

"Later I send. Now we better go first."

“Let me take you,” bargain Keven without being able to hide a smile sumringah. The man had even pulled out his car keys.

“Not necessary, Mas. I asked Mas Dion to return home,” kilah Yuki refused Keven's offer. The reflex fades Keven's smile and realizes there are still other men with Yuki.

“You're the same ngojek as me?” chirped Dion from behind who was deliberately insinuating Yuki. Since the beginning, Yuki has refused to take Dion home. But what Yuki said just now was as if the two already had an agreement from the beginning.

Groping her nape, Yuki answered clumsyly, “i-iya, ja-di.”

"Udah, come .." continued Yuki said as he embraced Nita's shoulder. Walking slowly a few steps toward Dion who had been keeping his distance.

Without a word, Yuki's free hand embraced Dion's arm. Thinking of wanting to quickly pass into the car and disappear from the boutique courtyard which is currently starting to close again.

The scenery is actually not friendly it successfully makes Keven's head want to explode, eyes wide with pupils dilated. Practically Keven's jaw hardens as the soft swearing is freed from the lips that are now tightly clenched. Even the rustling of Keven's molar teeth were rubbing against each other as if Saka could hear clearly.

While in the car that was currently speeding, Dion occasionally glanced at Yuki while smacking a smile withstanding the oddity.

“Your boyfriend?” dion asked in response to the puzzled look and subtle squeakiness that adorned Yuki's forehead.

“She's not my girlfriend.”

Nodding briefly, Dion again asked, “gebetan, huh? Looks really jealous.”

“She's my ex-husband.”

“Oh …." Nod Dion again, but the next second he glared in disbelief. "What?! Seriously?”

“Hm .. Yes, newly divorced. I am a young widow. Didn't I ever say I was married?”

“Ah, yes. Bener, I've never. But I guess a joke.”

“Cih, what joke if Mas Dion takes it seriously?”

“Neither.”

“Mas Dion also said that he had his own heart patch.”

“I said so?” Tilting his head, Dion was still focused on staring straight at the road crowded with motor vehicles.

“I am sensitive yes ..” replied Yuki while wagging her hair. Clearly Yuki knew who Dion meant as the heart patch.

"That's never been the person we like, is it?" reply Dion while restoring her hair.

"Yes," Yuki replied briefly.

Another chat that Yuki and Dion were having, Nita just silently listened. It is different from the car behind. Hot air and negative aura really feels burning figure Keven who dingsangkatan fog think of all the possibilities.

Not even a little less when he saw Dion had passed away after driving Yuki. Because the scene of the second selfie that was flavored with laughter is still recorded clearly. Though the laughter was present because the rushed photo ended blur, resulting in a strange-looking visual right on Yuki's face alone.
