When Love Fades

first day part 2

Today somehow Alan's mood was very happy. He looks bright, smiling to himself. Like someone else just fell in love. Maybe because it was a beef rendang breakfast. Food that he never met during his marriage to Renata.

After his work, Alan felt his stomach rumble. Worms in it like the demo of the workers in front of the House of Representatives who asked for a wage increase.

He walked into the kitchen and a happy hue emanated from his face when he saw the food in the cupboard. Yeah.. Especially if it's not Devina's rendang. He ate it without using rice. He looks like a hungry lion.

"Thank you Dev.. Your food I received. But not with my heart". Alan spoke while putting pieces of meat in his mouth. It feels good. Especially if it's a favorite food.

There was a sound of vibration from Alan's cell phone that he put on the table. It says Devina's name on the phone's slightly dim screen. Alan does not like the backlight of a very bright phone.

"Hallo... What's up Dev ?".

"Hallo baby's.... The food is up yet ???". There was clearly a very cheerful voice of Devina.

"Yes.. Here I eat again".

"bursed yes... Tomorrow there will be another surprise from me... Bye darling....". Devina hung up and gave Alan no time to answer.

Alan simply shook his head and put back his phone. Then continue the procession of eating that big. He did not leave a bit left on the plate even though only the spice.

Suddenly the sound of mobile phone vibration was heard for the second time. Alan picked up the phone without seeing who was calling.

"What else is Dev ?".

"What ??? Dev ???". The mood of my heart crumbled immediately after hearing the name mentioned by Alan.

Alan stopped his eating after hearing the owner of the voice. Yeah.. That was his wife. The wife he loved and was proud of all this time.

"Ee .. yes dear.. Read the book again so you don't focus. Sorry yeah..". Looks like Alan's lying. Seen from the way he spoke.

"ohh .... Read another book...". I'm a little suspicious. There must be something Alan's been hiding from me.

"Alhamdulillah healthy all mas. Oh yes, my.. I want to tell you a little story".

"about what Dik. Just a story ".

"about polygamy".

"what ??". Alan was surprised to hear it.

"yes. I once asked about polygamy. I have no intention of doing that, right ??".

"you're talking about what the hell Dik.. There is no intention at all. Already ah.. Don't talk about it anymore..".

"Yes already.. It's so malem here.. I slept first.. Chest dear.. Muahhs". I hung up and kept thinking about polygamy.

While Alan, there are two women who call him dear today. He thought of the words of his wife. Could it be that Rena would let me marry again. But it's not possible.

Oh my God, what a sign this is. I'm going to marry Devina too. But what about Renata, surely his heart will hurt with all this. He had once given me permission. But it was just a joke.

What if I fall in love with Devina. What I should do. Should I marry her.

"huhhh....... Dizziness..". Alan ruffled his hair while heading to the bathroom.

After refreshing his body, Alan headed to the bed. Just to lay it down. He raised both his hands and placed them on his forehead.

"Just one day I felt something was wrong with my heart. Don't-don't the food there was a pellet..

It's critical... That means that tomorrow Devina brings more food better not to eat.

That seems like a good idea".
