Dear The Ex
Longing in Our Eyes

"How are you?" ask Mario

I tried to smile and nod my head and answer if I was okay.

"They're the same Bobbi would not accompany Oma the same Opa saw the stuff?" ask his mother Mario who seems to deliberately let me alone let more freely chat with Mario.

Meka and Bobbi nodded quickly

"Come ono, Meka befriend, let Meka serve what you want to choose" said Meka who has walked ahead of Mario's parents.

I just smiled stiffly at Mario's parents as they said they were going downstairs.

And now, there remained me alone who could only stare in confusion at the HP screen I had in my hand.

"How are you, Intan?" ask Mario back

I tried to smile again when I heard the same question from Mario

"I'm fine Mario, what about you?" my many.

Mario breathed deeply and then he stared at me without answering my question.

I saw his face was thin unlike how many months ago when we last met.

"Get Mario's health" I said.

Mario nodded his head then tried to smile at me.

"And you take care of your heart for me Yes Ntan" said Mario who was able to make me swallow with difficulty.

I nodded with teary eyes and then I looked down deeply because I could not see Mario's face again.

"I see that you're becoming more successful. Congratulations, I'm proud of your success" .

I raised my face, looked at Mario's face and tried to smile.

"It's all thanks to your prayers and support Mario" I replied.

Both of us were silent for a long time and could only look at each other.

I would really like to tell Mario if I miss him so much

"Is there anything you want to say Ntan?" ask Mario.

I stammered then shook my head quickly

"Nothing, nothing I want to tell Mario, what am I going to say?" my many.

I saw Mario take a deep breath.

"Yes, you might want to say that you miss me, maybe" guessed Mario, who looked in my direction.

I try to smile even with a bitter smile. I shook my head and tried to laugh.

"Do I still have the right to miss you Mario?" my voice was barely audible.

"What Tan? what did you say? I didn't hear" asked Mario who made me realize that quickly shook his head

"No Yo, I didn't say anything" .

I saw Mario smiling bitterly at my answer then back we both kept quiet and just looked at each other.

"What about Mario's new service?" ask me to shift the subject.

"Okay, everything is good and running smoothly just my heart is not good" back Mario as if fishing for our unfinished conversation earlier.

"Everything will go well, I'm sure you're a great person" I told him.

Mario smiled at my answer and I also met him smiling.

"Are you not busy Mario?" much

"I'm not busy, it seems like you're busy, because now you're getting more and more business. And I'm glad you're growing your talent" .

I smiled at Mario's praise.

"It's still in the learning stage Mario and I still need support from the people closest to me and also I still need to learn a lot. I haven't been successful but I'm still trying" I replied humbly.

"If for support, take it easy I will always support you whatever Intan it is. Even if you need a mood booster from me, I will willingly become a mood booster for you".

I laughed when I heard Mario.

"You're the biggest mood booster for Mario. So that I can be in the position now" I replied for sure.

A big smile immediately adorned Mario's face hearing my answer.

"Would we go back to what we used to be?" ask Mario.

I shook my head

I saw Mario's face turn soft and he nodded his head

"Alright Intan if it's your decision" .

I smiled at Mario's response

"Thank you Mario for understanding" he said.

Maria nodded and smiled at me .

"Sorry Mario I have to end our conversation because I want to accompany your mama to pick and choose goods, who knows there is my merchandise that interests her" .

Mario nodded then raised both of his thumbs

"Well if so. Greetings to my mom and my kids to say that I love them and miss them so much".

I nodded and smiled at Mario and we both waved to end our conversation.

After my conversation with Mario ended I immediately went down and headed straight towards his mother Mario who was currently with Meka.

"Well...., Mama's smart son is a servant" I praise Meka who answered with a small laugh.

I saw in his mother Mario's shopping cart there were already some items he chose.

"Mari ma Intan who befriends" I bargained.

Mama Mario smiled and then the three of us went back around each shelf and the goods section to find roughly what the goods wanted by his mother Mario.

Until finally the shopping cart that we provide in the store is full of items that have been selected by his mother Mario and soon we walk towards the cashier.

Two servants immediately put and sort through the items that had been selected by his mother Mario into a pocket of crackles.

Then I again waved at the two male servants who immediately came and immediately lifted two bags of Mario's mama's grocery crackle

"Please take it to his car in front, yes" I said .

My two servants nodded and immediately took the two bags out where Mario and Bobbi's papa were waiting outside.

"How much is the total Ma'am?" said Mario's mother to the cashier who had calculated his expenses.

The cashier shook his head and smiled

"especially for mothers all of these groceries are free" he replied.

Mario's mother turned to me and shook quickly

"No Intan, this item you buy using money, use capital. So Mama has to pay for all the groceries that Mama bought here not for free" Mario's mother protested to me.

I then embrace the middle-aged woman's shoulder while rubbing her shoulder many times

"Mama is my mother, Mario's mother. The person I love so much, can't I just tell my parents to pay for the groceries?" my answer convinced him if indeed the items he selected were all free.

"But Intan?" mario's mother is still trying to protest

I shook fast

"No Mah, this is all free for Mama because I am grateful and very happy because my mother finally wants to visit me and see Meka with Bobbi" I continued quickly with a smile reassuring him.

"This is if Mario knows you can get angry with Mario" replied Mario again with a sad face

I smiled hearing his words

"Why is Mario angry with Mama? if Mario is angry with you, you just say, I love you, yes?" persuade me again.

He finally just nodded his head while rubbing my head.

"Thank you Tan for your kindness, you haven't changed".

I smiled hearing his words.

"Please pray that Intan will never change".

He looked back at my face gently.

"Mama always pray for your good Intan especially your success so that you and Mario can be reunited, that's Mama's prayer" he replied.

I smiled when I heard his words and then we came back to each other until he finally came out of the store with me who drove him to the parking lot where his Papa Mario was waiting for us.

Before the two of them got into the car I was with my two children kissing the back of his hands both with reverence.

"Frequently come here yes Oma, Opa" cried Meka and Bobbi when her father Mario began to run the car.

Mom and Dad Mario smiled and waved at us which we responded by waving.

After the death of Mario's parents I smiled with relief.

"Mario.., I will continue to keep my heart for you, just as you asked" my inner self.
