Friends Who Destroy
BC 40

"What???" Alexa still smiled sweetly in response to Faruq's words that initially made her feel anxious.

"I have to divorce you" he said after taking a deep breath for the second time.

Alexa grunts annoyed.

"This is what you're trying to say??" The woman clicked her tongue loudly, a pushy gaze she threw in any direction. While Faruq only silently stared at the face of Alexa who immediately changed.

"I think that's best for us" he said with confidence.

"We.....??" The woman with straight black hair was smiling wryly.

"You're saying this is what's best for us? Don't you know that all this time I struggled to be with you Fa" Alexa's tone rose, her eyes began to redden with anger.

"Why??? I don't want you, why fight for me?" The man is still indifferent even though he has lived a roof with Alexa for quite a long time.

The words were still sharp slashing even though Alexa had heard them many times, unchanged and still the same.

"Why are you still acting like that to me?? Yesterday you were kind and friendly in front of me" That memory is sweet on Alexa's memory. Just a few times but carve out a beautiful memory of its own.

Faruq turned his gaze to stare at the frame with an abstract painting on the left of the sofa.

"I'm sorry..... It was a mistake I made" he said.

"Then that night??" Wry smile. He wishes more with all the sweet memory he reveals.

"That's......" Faruq scratched his head which did not itch at all. He was confused what to say to Alexa.

Alexa smiled proudly triumphantly. He can bring down the man with his deceit.

"I'll still be responsible if you get pregnant" she said flatly, maybe that's all Faruq can offer the woman before him.

"Sad....." Decak Alexa rough.

"Is that all you can offer for my pride that you dropped?" alexa's anger began to rise looking at Faruq sharply.

"Then what are you gonna ask of me?" Fresh Faruq flat, he is not sure if Alexa will ask for something that suits the offer, considering he so crave life with Faruq.

"What makes you want a divorce from me?" Alexa was quite curious, before Faruq was still indifferent to the status of the two of them as a couple.

"I've met Ghea, and I really still love her" A sweet smile just etched there.

"Didn't you remember his betrayal of you?" His eyes were round and red. He just felt like a barrier to the relationship between the two.

"I'm sure we just misunderstood each other, I can clearly see the love gaze of both eyes" The happiness bolt was clearly depicted there, making Alexa envious instantly. Faruq had never smiled so sweetly when he said to her. Everything was because of Ghea, Faruq's sweet memory was only about Ghea.

"You are......" Angered Alexa was irritated at Faruq's sweet smile.

"I will prepare the letters, so prepare yourself!!" Faruq's message while turning back to his private room.

"Aaarrrgggghhh Ghea." shouted Alexa quite loudly after Faruq officially entered his room. His teeth grumbled to hold back the overflowing anger filling his chest cavity.

"Why do you have to show up after Faruq started to give me the affection I've always wanted" said Alexa slamming the sofa cushion beside her, a sharp gaze she circulated throughout the room, it was as if looking for the figure of a woman who had burned her anger.

"Why do you have to show up Ghea......" The woman's breath was wheezing, her body hot and full of sweat. Hate filled Alexa's heart.

......................

A middle-aged woman with a batik negligee seemed to be busy weeding the flowers in a pot lined up neatly on the front porch. His sagging pliers painstakingly played the scissors cutting off the old branches and yellowed leaves.

Her tiny lips look fresh with a red brick lipstick and a glossy touch that is not too thick.

There was a melodious song that he played through his old-fashioned tape that is still well maintained until now. He seemed to be busy caring for his flowers while kicking the song of his youth first. Nike Ardila and Dian piesesha are still her favorites.

His hips are not slender follow meggang to the right and to the left to follow the rhythm of the song he plays.

"Mother......"

Ms. Jasmin looked up at her front gate, she squinted slightly and removed the glasses that were always perched on her nose during the activity.

A straight-haired woman stood in front of the gate waving her hand.

Although he had taken off his glasses but the middle-aged woman still did not understand the woman waiting in front of his house. With a slight hurry he walked closer towards the gate.

After the distance was getting closer then he understood the woman who wore jeans with magenta-colored blouse tops. His smile instantly broke.

"Alexa......" Call it sumringah.

"Yes mom....." Answer Alexa friendly.

Ms. Jasmin immediately opened the locked gate and let her daughter-in-law in.

Alexa looked around. This was only the second time she had come there after officially becoming Faruq's wife. He did walk too often with his friends so he did not have time to visit his in-laws' house which was about an hour away from where he lived with Faruq.

"How are you?" ask mama Jasmin to walk in front of Alexa

"Good ma'am..... Mother's flowers are very nice, look very well maintained" Praise Alexa tried to attract the sympathy of her mother-in-law who really likes to collect flowers.

Ms. Jasmin walked into the living room, followed by Alexa trailing behind her.

"I was through the flower shop, so I bought it for mom" Alexa said as she handed a bouquet of flowers to the woman in front of her.

Mrs Jasmin looked so happy to have the bouquet. Roses with various colors are neatly arranged with red paper around them.

"That's pretty.... Thank you son-in-law" Praise Mrs Jasmin.

"What about Faruq??" jasmin sat himself on the wooden sofa. Alex followed his mother-in-law, sitting right in front of the woman he had called his mother.

"Good ma'am..... It's just......" Alexa's sweet smile she replaced with a sad face full of sadness. He hung his words, making the middle-aged lady with the red negligee slightly stunned.

"Why???" Ask.

"I'm confused where to tell you" Alexa's face immediately became cute.

"The story, son..... Maybe I can give you a good solution" he said gently. The look he gave on Alexa's face that did look moody. From that moment on his face he bowed deeply.

"Faruq wants us to divorce ma'am....." The sorrowful look he lamented on the face of the middle-aged woman before him, as if begging for a good fortune that he could change.
