EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
49. Must keep distance

"What are you cooking again? I'm laper, here...."

"Sky?" Yara still thinks she's dreaming. Why is there Sky in Rina's house?

The man smiled wryly, one hand put in his pants pocket then walked casually closer to Yara's position.

"You want me to help you, don't you?"

"Huh?" Yara gasped as she saw Sky who was already getting closer to her.

It doesn't seem like a dream, but the man is really here now.

"You.. How come it's here?" yara asked at last, a small smile rising at the corner of her lips.

"Rina told me that you were here."

"Kok ngabarin all of you?"

Sky sniffed his shoulders indifferently. "Maybe he knows that I miss you," whispered Sky in Yara's ear making the woman shudder in her eyes.

"Sky.." protested. But Sky laughed softly because he could not deny that he was very happy to see Yara again tonight.

"What are you cooking?"

"You need to stir-fry the same broccoli fried doang fish, anyway. You want?"

"Hmm, I follow you."

"We're eating at Rina's house, dong," joked Yara. Sky's arrival made him slightly forget about his quarrel with Juna some time ago.

"It's okay, we'll change the contents of Rina's refrigerator."

"Can you?"

"You can just go shopping in the supermarket."

"We?" yara Response.

"Yes dong, we both eat."

They laugh together too. Yara continued to finish her onion and broccoli chopping session. While Sky, just pay attention to the woman's cooking activities in silence.

"Let's eat" said Yara, awakening the man from his daydream.

"Eh, yes ..."

"You daydreaming? Wagging what?"

"You ..."

"Kok me?" Yara spooned the rice into Sky's plate and handed it to the young man.

"Udah, eat first yes, we will discuss again about what I am daydreaming about."

Yara nodded. "I called Rina first yeah .." she said.

"okay."

After calling Rina and taking dinner together, the three ate in silence as if late with their own thoughts.

When his last mouthful ran out, along with Yara and Sky who had also put down the spoon. Lina started to make a sound.

"So, how far is your relationship? Frankly ... I kepo," admitted Rina in front of the two school friends.

Yara looked down deeply, honestly she was embarrassed to have to admit about this to Rina, but it was fate to bring her together with this woman, so inevitably Yara had to tell Rina about what really happened. After all, Rina had also helped him.

"Mas Juna cheated on me, I can't forgive him. I want to split up" Yara said frankly.

Rina is surprised, not because of Yara's desire to separate from her husband, but because it turns out that Juna has been cheating on Yara.

"Rho? You serious? This isn't just your reason for your relationship with Sky not to be blamed, is it?"

Yara shook her head weakly as the answer.

"Rin, from the beginning, Yara did not even want to leave Juna for me, even though I tried to make him repeatedly," Sky said. "But, she immediately wanted to separate from Juna, because she had wriggled herself that her husband was having an affair," he added.

Rina shook her head. "But, even if Juna cheated on her, you shouldn't have her back with a relationship, right?" tanyakanya.

"We are not in a relationship. We are just equally comfortable. Our feelings are still the same as before" Sky explained while Yara further lowered her gaze.

"Okay, I don't deserve to judge you two. I'm just here as a friend who's against infidelity. I don't like the same thing as betrayal."

Rina said slowly and stabbing, he said that because he was the victim of the divorce of his parents due to a third person. That is also what causes it to be a broken home child.

"I don't like traitors either, Rin. That's why I immediately asked to separate from Mas Juna," said Yara who had returned to voice her heart.

"Yes, if that's really the case, I support it, Ra. You can't stay with a traitor anymore."

"... and lo, if you're really serious about Yara, I hope you don't mess around and take responsibility for what you've done until now."

"What am I doing?" sky asked confusedly.

"Obviously, you can't do the same thing that Yara's husband did to her. You have to remember that finding Yara is hard, Sky! If Juna does not cheat, maybe you will never be able to return to Yara, forever," said Rina warned.

"Gue has never messed around with everything I've believed in" Sky said.

"Yes good. If so, I'm in. You guys talk good. Don't take kebablasan! Ntar you're being blamed!" Rina returned to look out for Sky and Yara.

The two nodded in agreement with Rina's words.

"One more time, Sky.I hope, you can remember Yara who has been messed up because of her husband."

As far as Rina was concerned, Sky and Yara stayed in the dining room.

"I think that's what Rina says, Sky."

"Which one?" sahut the man.

"Don't let us be blamed, even though Mas Juna first cheated."

"Yes, continues?"

"For now we keep our distance first, do not meet if necessary..."

"Ra?" Sky looked at Yara with a wondering look. Why does it have to be that way? thought.

"If we continue to meet, long time Mas Juna can know that the man is you."

Sky massaged his suddenly dizzy temple. "If the circumstances require him to know, jaudah, that's okay, Ra. I'm willing to be blamed."

Yara clucked her tongue. "Sky, the problem is not about willing or unwilling. We both have families, right? You have Aunt Indri and I still have Mas Anton. If later Mas Juna made a statement that the mistake was first made by the two of us, then forever mama you will consider me a bad woman, as well as Mas Anton, so will you, he won't want to bless us" Yara said at length.

Sky admits that Yara's words have a point. But, he also would not be able to not meet the woman again and keep his distance from her.

"Ra, we've been separated for too long, now that we're so close, should we also separate again because of the circumstances?"

"If it's the best, why not? Everything needs to be based on patience. You know, the fruit of patience is sweet."

Sky smiled faintly at the parable that Yara had uttered. But in him also agree with the words of the woman.

"So we really need to keep our distance?"

Yara nodded, "Yes, it's not until my business with Mas Juna is completely finished."

"But, Ra... Why are you at Rina's house? This is the thing I used to daydream about. I don't know why you're here. Emang Rina said she accidentally met you on the street. But, why? What's up?"

"Mas Juna has seen the mark that you live on my chest, Sky."

"Huh?" Sky gasp. At first I felt shocked, but gradually a slanted smile lit up at the end of his lips. "Continue?" tanyakanya.

"Yes he's angry, he thinks I have an affair too."

"What do you answer?"

"I'll answer. yes."

Sky laughed softly at that. "Is he who did it?" guess Sky.

"Of course, Sky!"

"You said it was me?"

"Gi la, you! It can't be!" said Yara.

Sky smelled a smile. "You should have said it, Ra. It'sit's nothing... If you need to say my name many times."

Yara snorted to see Sky who always had problems.

"You always do.. If I'm straight honest, why should we keep our distance? Just make an announcement that we're cheating."

Sky suddenly heard Yara's scolding. This woman always makes her mood better.

"Yes, that. I told you why we also use distance. Emang covid," he joked.

Yara took a deep breath. "Just keep playing, Sky. You have to remember, what I think here is not just us but our family's response."

"Yes, I know, baby .." said Sky as gently as possible.

Yara shook her head when she heard the man's answer, which was never serious.
