Hanging out in angkringan while enjoying a cup of Joss Coffee and various fried foods turned out to be exciting as well. Moreover, some buskers come and sing adding to the crowd tonight.
"So, what's the fight this time?" ask Bahri who seems impatient to know what my household problems are. I don't really want a story, but Bahri is the only friend I can complain about and pour out my heart.
"Because ... Not to be ah. You'll leak!" my urn.
"When have I ever leaked? I hold the secret firmly!"
Yeah anyway. Bahri never leaked any complaints me all this time. Convincingly. I even got some tips on getting married from her. Who told me to be your good wife? Bahri anyway?!
"Because my marriage was the one Mas Zaky had to go through."
"Newly know?"
I looked in wonder at Bahri. "What do you mean?"
"I know from the beginning you proposed to your husband and you married by forcing your Abi blessing, everything is wrong. I want to tell you, but I don't want to be impressed to interfere in your life. If that's your choice, then I'll respect it. Now marriage because of the coercion you live in is problematic, right?"
Shamefully I admit it, "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do?" ask Bahri again.
"Either. I don't think it's gonna hurt like this. I don't think I'm clapping one hand. I thought my love would eventually dock in the right place. But it turns out ...."
Bahri sipped her coffee then put her glass down and advised me. "You know, sometimes even large ships will dock to several places first before reaching their destination. Maybe your life will be like that?"
Docked to some place?
"There's a third person in your household isn't there?" guess Bahri.
"Said a third person, in fact the person has no intention of damaging my household. But said not a third person, indeed my household is cracked because the person is the woman that Mas Zaky loves." I answered honestly.
Bahri looked at me fixedly. His forehead wrinkled. He looked surprised and looked at me as if looking for answers. "Who? I recognize?"
"Very."
"Wait, don't tell Sister Dewi?! No! Not likely. Kak Dewi tuh really loves Abang Wira. Even though they are having problems in their household, they still love each other even though they are both hurt." Bahri does not trust his own analysis when it is true.
"In fact, Kak Dewi is the first love and perhaps the true love of Mas Zaky. I was just bait to smooth his plan to approach Kak Dewi. How come it wasn't my fate?!" I began to shed the tears that I had been holding and replaced with a fake smile.
"You sure?!"
"Mrr is very sure. I heard their own conversation. All the. With a broken heart, I forced myself to smile and pretend like I wasn't listening. My intention was to surprise them, and I was surprised. Sister Dewi suspected I heard it but not Mas Zaky. He saw my fine face and thought I heard nothing. I wore a mask all this time and hid my sadness with a focus on working. That's why I'm here now. Blurred. As you said."
I laughed at the compliment Bahri gave me. "Then anyway? So big head I'll be!" I lost my intention to cry. Wh-wh-what for? The one I don't care about me either.
"That's dong. Smile. Face it with a smile even though the waves are high. Your husband is stupid, can not see the advantages of his own wife and still pursue a stale love. Don't cry. If you were near me, I wouldn't let you cry! The time of the cry angel? Filming another soap opera?!" ledek Bahri's.
I laughed again. "You are, funny thing. I actually forgot about my problem! Thanks very much!"
"Either. It's been night! Don't want to sleep?!"
I saw the clock on my phone. It was 1 o'clock more and I didn't realize time was passing so fast. "You! I update the status first." I took a photo of my coffee is still left with various satay and then upload it. "Come, take me back to the hotel. Don't ride the rickshaw!"
"Yes, my wingless angel! The adjutant is ready to serve the Angel anywhere! Taxi dealer online first yes, his adjutant did not bring the car because!"
I smiled and agreed. As promised, Bahri drove me to the hotel and then back to her service home. I went into the room and laid my body on the bed.
I stared at the screen of the phone with several missed calls, one of which was from Mas Zaky. I have no intention of calling back. Wh-wh-what for? Doesn't Zaky care about me, either?!
I just returned the message briefly and fell asleep. Because the moon is coming, I deliberately wake up a little afternoon. After breakfast at the hotel, I went to the cafe.
Several times my phone rang. Seeing Mas Zaky's name as the caller, I was getting lazy to pick him up. I remember when we were first married. Mas Zaky's out of town and didn't reply to my message at all. What he does now I do too. Apparently run away from the good stuff too!
"Mom Carmen, there's a call from Ms. Dance" said one of the cafe employees.
"Yes. Thank you." I picked up the phone at the cafe and immediately got a long scolding from Mommy.
"You why is it so hard to call?! Hp you are active but why is there not a single call Mommy and Abi you answered?! We're both worried about you, Baby!" my mom is rarely angry like this.
"Sorry, My. I busy. I've arrived. Sorry if I forgot to tell Mommy and Abi."
"Next time don't forget to tell! How is your husband? Not been told yet?"
"Already, My. Oh, my, I want a report on the opening of the cafe. Preparations for the opening are 99% complete. Tomorrow we can open and tape scissors. The plan is I want to invite live music to enliven the event as well as a promotional event to attract the attention of visitors. Promotional budget is still coming in, My. I also want to make a promotion for those who pay more than a certain nominal will I give you free snacks to take home, what do you think Mommy?"
"Well, Mommy's son is indeed a high business soul huh! Exactly with Abi and your brother! Mommy didn't think you were this smart! Abi said, You are secretly smart! Good job, Mommy is proud of you. Do what you think is good. Mommy will support!" mommy's voice sounded full of pride. I smiled happily to hear it.
"Sure dong, My! I'm actually smart, just waiting for the right time to prove my intelligence. Abi Agas' son where is there a fool?! Mommy, just calm down! I handle all of them. Pray that everything goes well, My!"
"Sure, Honey! Mommy's prayer is with you. Happy work, son. Do not forget to eat and maintain the condition of the body. Assalamualaikum!"
"Goodnight, My!"
