Dear The Ex
Her father Mirna's request

I went back in and sat down by the lady. There were many grown and aged men who entered with her father Mirna

I glanced at Mario who was sitting opposite the chair with me, Mario's face looked serious which makes me sure if the arrival of the men to the house of the kades is certainly not just an ordinary guest

Then Mr. Kades asked the purpose and purpose of the group of men to his house, then the representative of the group voiced out which finally had to make me take a deep breath

"How's mom, is there anything I want to say?"

I took a long breath back

"If I can be honest, sir, no wife would share her husband with another woman, nor with me, I do not sincerely share Arif mas with his affair"

Start the living room of the crowded kades sir house with the sound of ribbed shoes, and back bu kades stroked my back

"What about my son, ma'am, there won't be any more men who want to marry him?"

I just stared blankly at Mirna's father

"And you already know if mas Arif married, then why even the father as his parents did not advise the father to stay away from my husband?"

The middle-aged man was silent and lowered his head

"Wouldn't we first meet in the garden mas Arif already said if I am his wife, it means that mas Arif is married, should at that time the father forbid the father's son to tease my husband"

The men who had been lying down as soon as they heard my explanation fell silent

"So you actually already know if Mr. Arif has a wife?" ask them

Her father Mirna was silent and I smiled cynically

"Even then we met the father, I brought my two children" I added

"So if you think that mas Arif trapped or lied to you it is all wrong, because in fact both his father and Mirna already know if mas Arif has a family, so you have children and wives"

Mirna's father is getting deeper

"Keep how this?, there is no way they do not we marry?, the people of one village already know all the events last night even the whole world also already knows because it has spread on social media"

"If that's what you're talking about with Arif mas, it's what ruined Mirna mas Arif" I replied casually

"If later Mr. Arif does not want to marry my son how is ma'am?" her father's voice is weakened

"It's none of my business sir, my business is done. I have reported both of them with adultery and I am sure they will both be punished"

I heard a prickly voice again after I said that sentence

"I don't think there's anything else I need to explain here, it's all pretty clear" I added

"Please ma'am, we're ordinary people, difficult people, we don't understand anything, please ma'am don't imprison my son"

I glanced at her father Mirna, whose face was now paled and there was sadness on that face

"I just follow the procedure sir, to be imprisoned or not it is not my power, there are already articles and rules that govern it, my job is only to report the wrong actions of both of them"

"But mom, don't you feel sorry for us, please mom. Mirna's a victim here too"

I smiled bitterly

"The real victim here is me sir. My son is not a victim, but a victim. If he was a victim, he would have screamed for help or he reported with the local government if he had been harassed with mas Arif"

"But he did not report at all, even to your parents, even last night when questioned by the police the father's son admitted, saying, if almost every night he comes to Arif's service house and they have a forbidden relationship, what's the victim's name?"

"Pray sir may Arif want to marry Mirna" I continued

Her father Mirna rubbed her face many times hearing my casual reply while the other fathers shook their heads

"It's too late, I have to go back home, and I'm sorry to all of you if I can't help Mirna, but I hope you all understand how I feel"

After saying that I stood up and held back the lady who was also standing next to me. With Mario I stepped out of the house of the kades sir and with their eyes we entered the car

Then after the car moved away I immediately spread my head back to the seat and blinked my eyes, holding back tears that were ready to spill

Mario's hand was stretched out toward my head, then he rubbed my head gently

"Cry if you want to cry"

I did not pry his words, I was still staring straight ahead with a strong bite of my lips held back tears that had been ready to spill

Almost two hours into our journey, on a rather ugly and perforated road I saw my in-laws car opposite to Mario's

"That's my in-law's car" pointed me forward

"You stop no?" mario asked while looking at me

"Not necessary"

Mario just shrugged his shoulders then when our car passed each other I just glanced over

Because the windshield was dark so I didn't see anyone in the car, but wanting anyone in there was none of my business, because I don't want to deal with Arif's family anymore

It was enough yesterday that they asked me to be patient, asking me to forgive the error of mas Arif, but not this time, this time there is no word of apology for mas Arif, his betrayal was real I saw with my eyes, and it was hard for me to forgive him

Arriving in the city Mario turned his car into a restaurant in this small town

"We need to eat to face reality" he said while removing the safe belt on my waist

I tried to smile at Mario. Then together we got out of the car and walked to the food stall

I immediately chose a side dish that evoked my taste when ordering food as well as Mario. We sat in the shop for a long time, and took a break because our trip was still very long

The next four hours, Mario's car stopped in my yard, when it was getting dark. Mario came down and followed behind me, went inside the house

I immediately turned on the lights and prepared a snack I had bought on the street and warm tea water for me to treat Mario

"I'll stay for a while, I'll take a shower" I told Mario, nodding his head

After Intan's death, Mario circled this spacious house with his eyes, many times he smiled to see if Intan's life was happy together with Mas Arif, who was a happy man, it looks from the building of a house that is quite large and quite luxurious but it turns out the contents in it are not as beautiful and luxurious as his house, in which it is filled with betrayal and disloyalty

I who went into the bathroom immediately poured water on my body then quickly came out of the bathroom, changed clothes and then went down to meet Mario who was standing looking at the photo hanging on the wall

"Not eaten?" I was standing next to Mario

Mario looked up and saw me from top to bottom

"You are so sexy, Ntan.." he murmured.

I put my head back to hear his words, astonished

"Where's the sex?, the guy I'm just wearing a negligee"

Mario smiled as he pulled my nose

"But to me it was very sexy, really showing the figure of an understated wife and mother"

I chuckled and got ahead of Mario sitting on the chair. Mario immediately sipped his tea and then shortly afterwards he said goodbye

Before leaving the house, Mario rubbed my head gently again

"Don't make the burden of heavy events that befall you, instead you have to be strong because of this"

I nodded and smiled at Mario

"Thank you Mario for being willing to pick me up and drop me off" I said as I looked into his eyes

"Whatever I will do for you Intan." replied Mario slowly who was able to make my soul fly high so happy I heard his words.
