Hold On Or Let Go
22. My Heart is In Pain

"Mami Uun," call Doni, with his favorite call when the two of them were still together first, "do you even dumb? Drink dong, his avocado juice," said Doni, smiling warmly.

Seruni stuttered, and hurriedly drank the avocado juice that Doni had ordered for her. Seruni played a straw, to cover her nervousness heard Doni's favorite call for her earlier. A call that has not been heard for a very long time, after they separated a dozen years ago.

Doni looked at Seruni so deeply, that made Seruni go awry. While Tiwi looked at her cousin, filled with pity.

The three of them were silent to each other, making the atmosphere become quiet again.

"Run, I invite you here because there is something we want to say," said Tiwi to break the silence.

Seruni looked at Tiwi, and put down her straws. "What?" Ask Seruni flat.

Tiwi looked at Doni, billed her promise yesterday that it was Doni who would deliver the unpleasant news to Seruni.

Doni nodded, understanding the demands of his older cousin. Doni corrected his sitting, straightened his back and took a deep breath to fill his lung cavity full of oxygen, and then blew his powerful, powerful breath, to unravel the tightness in his chest remembering yesterday's incident.

Mahmudi's betrayal of his beloved woman has been able to make Doni's heart crumble and hurt.

"Un, before her I apologize. If what I will say later, makes you hurt," said Doni, starting a conversation.

Seruni frowned inside. "I? Injured? What's the matter?" Ask Seruni impatiently.

"Yesterday afternoon, I had Tiwi coffee at the garden cafe. There by mistake, we saw your husband, Mahmudi," Doni paused for a moment, and looked at Seruni with a difficult-to-understand look.

"My husband? Why her? Did he make a fuss?" Cecar Seruni was getting impatient, his feelings began to feel bad, worried, his two friends were aware of his husband's affair.

"Oh, at most he again there is a meeting time yes, same friends there," continued Seruni later, trying to be calm again. While in his heart praying, hopefully the two friends did not know the disgrace of his husband which is also a disgrace of his self.

Doni shook his head, "not a meeting, because it's just the two with..." Doni swallowed the saliva to wet his throat that suddenly felt dry, Doni then gulped his soft drink until the toilet was not left.

"Your husband with a woman who is still quite young, and they.", Doni closed his eyes, without feeling a clear bulir fell from the corner of his eyes and moistened his white cheeks. Doni really like to feel the pain of his heart Seruni, if until Seruni saw the incident yesterday.

"Don, say quick. Don't make me guess it's not clear like this," demanded Seruni still try to be calm, even though his chest felt rumbling.. worried about the thing that he had been covering from his family and friends finally revealed as well.

"They make out at the cafe Un, sorry.." said Doni, who was reflexively clasping Seruni's hand.

For a moment Seruni was stunned, her fear was now happening. Her best friend knew the disgrace of her husband. Seruni took a deep breath, and then blew her slowly.

"I already know Don," said Seruni, staring at Doni and Tiwi alternately. Seruni is still trying to look fine.

"You, you already know Run?! Since when? Ls it? Why are you still with her?!" Lecar Tiwi, with his eyes round.

While Doni who was still holding Seruni's hand increasingly tightened his grip, and Seruni let alone for a while. I don't know, Seruni felt a little calm, his hands in Doni's hands.

"This past month, I've known it." Reply Seruni.

"Mom, why don't you tell us?! Means last week when we met, you already knew it?!" Tiwi regained her senses, staring at Seruni sharply.

Seruni shook her head, not answering Tiwi's question but instead asking a question back. "Here, you guys know what the other kids already know?" Seruni's face looked very worried.

"Newly we know Un," replied Doni by looking at Seruni full of sympathy.

Tiwi frowned, not understanding the meaning of Seruni's words by giving thanks.

Seruni took a deep breath, and breathed her slowly. Seruni then told her outline, when she first learned that her husband had betrayed her.

Doni was furious to hear Seruni's story, as well as Tiwi.

"Every household must have their own problems, right? I intentionally did not tell you, because to me, my husband's disgrace is also my disgrace that I must close tightly so as not to be known by others, even family though," said Seruni, looking at his two friends alternately.

"And by not telling stories, it will make it easier for us to solve problems without the interference of others" he continued.

Tiwi was about to open her mouth, but Seruni hurriedly added to her speech.

"If many know our problems, it is not impossible.they will come in and influence us in acting and making decisions, he said, which could be precisely it will mengemunam problems that are being faced, right?" Seruni looked back at her two best friends, who were sitting right before her.

Doni nodded, while Tiwi massaged her temple.

For a moment the atmosphere felt tense and tense.

"Trust me, I can finish all by myself," said Seruni unraveled the tension.

"And I beg you, enough of you know this matter," Seruni pleaded solemnly to her two companions.

Doni and Tiwi could only nod, confirming Seruni's request.

Tiwi then scattered, hugging her friend who was pregnant. "Whatever your decision is, I definitely support Run. And never forget, if you need help immediately contact us, because we are friends, we are Run's brothers," said Tiwi to hold tightness in the chest, so that her cries do not break.

Tiwi could not imagine if she was in the position of Seruni at this time, who was in a big pregnancy, but was betrayed by her life partner.

Seruni nodded and smiled, "definitely Wi, I will definitely call you," replied Seruni, "my baby is pinned by Wi," later on, while breaking away from Tiwi's embrace. Until it makes Tiwi chuckle and momentarily forget the bitter story of his best friend.

Tiwi returned to her original place, "great you Run, still able to act calm and as if you have no problems," Tiwi praised sincerely, "strong woman," continue with his hands clenched into the air.

While Doni who was still holding Seruni's hand earlier, continued to stare at the woman whose name could not be replaced by the others intensely.

"Sirut, from earlier you hold my hand? As what? As a friend, I'll let you get bored and then take it off?" Seruni's words, disperse the mind of Doni.

"Indeed it may be Un, I wish for more??" Doni traced Seruni's beautiful netra, to find out if there was still his name there.

"If I may, I want her to be more than just a friend of Un," he continued, still with his gaze that made Seruni momentarily hypnotized.

"Un, I also support whatever your decision is, and if you need a place to lean on. Remember always Un, that I am still faithfully waiting for you," Doni kissed Seruni's hand gently, which made Seruni momentarily glued.

"I don't want you to be loved Un, my heart hurts too.." concluded Doni, with a glazed net.
