Dear The Ex
Quarrelling

It was clear Mario's look turned tense as he greeted us all before we made our way to the runway.

And Mr. Uki who also drove us back to the Airport seemed to smile meaningfully at me.

I kissed the reverence on the back of his hand before I pulled the suitcase walking after everything that had gone before.

"Be careful, Ma'am, as soon as you tell me" he said.

I nodded my head in response to Mr. Uki's words. Then I glanced at Mario who was glaring when I saw Mr. Uki talking close to me.

I also kissed the back of Mario's hand, and our eyes were pounded against each other.

"I'll be home soon" said Mario.

I could only nod my head in response to Mario's words. Then I also greet the woman who is still standing next to Mario.

"Titip Mario ya mbak" I said while glancing at Mario.

Actually I held a piteousness in my heart when I said those words.

"Just relax, I'll take care of Mario. Yes, although she always acts cold to me, but I will continue to try to convince Mario, if I am the best for him" replied the woman confidently that made me look back at Mario.

Mario's face looked unhappy when the woman said so.

And I could only smile bitterly at the woman's answer.

I immediately turned my body without looking back at Mario who was still staring at me.

On the plane I was more pensive. And Abraham, who was sitting next to me, touched my shoulder and rubbed it slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth, that you still love Mario. Why did you have to be so childish earlier by telling Pak Uki to come?".

I could only take a deep breath at Ibrahim's question.

"Didn't you see, how the woman stuck to Mario?, you think Dek, if they don't have a special relationship, there's no way that woman always stuck to Mario" .

"Yes, but we don't know Sis".

"Already Deck. It is only natural that Mario is looking for a girl who is much more above his older brother. She was more fashionable and she was also a flight attendant. What is compared to the brother who is only a trader, there is no level......".

Ibrahim rubbed my shoulders back, and I just turned to him trying to smile.

The next hour and a half the plane we were on started landing. And we all went down.

I immediately went downstairs by pulling my suitcase back and when I got to the airport I turned to the toilet.

"Intan wait!!"

I turned to face Mario's mother who was walking behind me.

"Want to go to the toilet too?"

His mother Mario nodded, then I immediately took his hand walking together towards the toilet.

When he came out of the toilet, his mother Mario pulled my hand back.

"Lelaki was actually Tan your girlfriend?" ask him who makes me nervous.

"Mama's not sure that that guy was your girlfriend. Because mom saw how you were so nervous"

"And also mama saw from the radiance of your eyes, how you are very jealous when the woman sitting next to Mario, continues to stick with Mario, right?"

I didn't answer all of Mama Mario's questions. But I bowed holding back the tears that were ready to spill .

"Just what mom said, that guy wasn't your girlfriend".

"Mah.., to be honest I was jealous to see the woman was so sticky as Mario. But on one hand I realized Ma, I left Mario. This is not the first time, but it is the second time"

"So it's natural Mah, if Mario is disappointed with me. Mario should love other women. I'm trying to be sincere if Mario loves that woman. I'm okay" I replied softly.

"But mama's sure, if Mario had nothing to do with that woman. You saw for yourself, didn't you see how Mario was cold with that girl?".

Back I was trying to smile hearing Mario's mother's answer

"We both wish Ma the best for Mario" I replied, wiping his arm.

...----------------...

The next day my routine went back to normal. I'm back as the cashier in my shop, so is Ibrahim. He went back to the delivery place, everything was going as usual.

Until the end of the day, my phone rang.

On the screen is the name Mario. And it instantly made my heart beat fast.

I immediately waved my hand towards the reserve cashier. After that I immediately ran up the stairs, going up to the second floor .

"Yes Mario?" my answer.

"Where are you Tan?" ask Mario.

"In the store, where would I go if I wasn't here?, right, I was a merchant"

I heard a deep breath from across.

"What's Mario?".

"Look, I when you came home yesterday, I spoke to your boyfriend right away".

I immediately swallowed my saliva hearing Mario's words.

"Yes even though the guy insists on confessing your boyfriend, but I can't believe that guy's your boyfriend".

"Why don't you believe it?".

There was laughter across

"Intan, did you forget I was a good cop? I can read your gesture, can read your facial expression. So too with that guy. I know that you two are lying".

"You don't have Mario's right to say that. Want Pak Uki my girlfriend or not, it's none of your business. You take care of your stewardess' girlfriend" I replied in a high tone.

"From your tone of voice it shows that you're jealous of Intan".

I laughed snidely at Mario's reply.

"It's so much confidence that you Mario says that I'm jealous. No yes, I'm not at all jealous of you as that woman. Instead I am happy, finally you can get a woman who is much more everything than me. And that's what I've been hoping for".

"Intan, you say that again. I will fly to meet you, and I will force you to KUA!!".

I immediately gulped my saliva hearing Mario yell at me. Because my whole life, just this time Mario yelled at me.

"You know what is the reason I am so far from you?, I want to give you the opportunity to prove yourself, that you are worthy of being my companion"

"But it turns out what?, it seems that even I am not worthy to be your companion. Because you have become a successful entrepreneur now, your business is everywhere, and of course your income is much greater than mine"

"So it's only natural that you'd prefer a man yesterday over me".

I felt tired of my feet hearing Mario's words. Because honestly it never crossed my mind to turn away from him.

"Why can you think like that Mario, hemm?"

"I'm still like I used to be, I haven't changed, you're the one who changed!".

"I changed?, didn't Intan. I never change. I always keep my heart for you. I have no interest in any woman all this time other than you!!!".

"You lied!!, I once caught you with that woman. When I was with Mr. Uki and his wife came out of the restaurant. At that moment I saw you both the same woman in the parking lot. And with my own eyes, I saw how the woman grasped and held your hand with her mesra"

"Otherwise yesterday, that woman kept sticking with you. Not to be far from you. You think, I don't know if you guys have a special relationship?, I'm not stupid Mario!!".

On the other side, Mario rubbed his face rough at Intan's reply.

"Intan... you've been mistaken" said Mario.

"There's nothing wrong here Mario. I see clearly in the woman's eyes if she loves you so much".

"As far as you're concerned, what do you want to say. But obviously, the woman had nothing to do with me. And by accident, you've said clearly that the man you were with yesterday was not your girlfriend".

I opened my mouth to hear Mario's reply.
