Along the way home, we didn't talk at all, nor did we arrive home, I didn't say a word despite Reza trying to get me to talk. She tried every way to get my forgiveness, including by kissing my lips, even taking me to bed, touching me as usual. I didn't resist, I didn't resist, I didn't respond. I just let him launch his action that does not match expectations. Although desaha* and eranga* still escaped my lips even though I tried to manahannya. It just happened. Wanna how? His name is also fuck without a fight, right?
"Don't talk to me first. That's all I asked for today. Would please? Can, right?"
He had no choice but to agree and obey my will. That's better.
That day we did not go to Alfie's house. Instead, they were the ones who came to our house. Alfi, Mayra, and Tirta. And just a few dozen minutes later, Erik also came to visit. I who do not want to be bad in front of guests try to force myself to be as normal as possible. We also forgive each other.
While opening the food that Mayra brought, we chatted in the kitchen. Apparently Reza can't keep his mouth. He told the funeral riots to his two friends.
"Alright, May. I don't want to talk about it. I'm tired here" I said as I put my palms on my chest.
Mayra nodded. "Your family knows?"
I'm shaking. "I don't want to spoil the atmosphere of the victory day they felt. Let it be, I held back and felt her own pain." I wiped the tears that came back. "I lost. And fatefully, lose on the day of victory."
Suddenly Mayra stroked my stomach. She smiles. "You will be the winner."
"Hopefully. If there's a miracle."
"Patience. Your hope will surely come true."
"Aamiinu. I may not want to, but my little heart still seems to hold hope."
"Aamiin," he said. "By the way, what are you cooking? There is typical Palembang cuisine, no?"
I'm shaking. I didn't cook anything because I haven't confidently cooked a Lebaran dish myself. But I did cook at my aunt's house yesterday, and I also donated money to buy groceries. So, I got food rations to take home. And serve it to the guests who visit our home today.
Well, the day goes on and the night comes. Our house was quiet again after all the guests resigned and went home to each other. And, then...
》Za, we need to talk. I went there, yeah. Tonight, 7 o'clock. Please don't go anywhere.
I accidentally saw the notification chat on my husband's phone screen about six in the afternoon. I opened it and deleted it. That's a message from Salsya.
Yep, that's good. Because I need to talk to him, too. Four-eyes.
I know, Reza would never talk about and discuss that serious matter to Salsya-about: there would be no marriage between the two of them. And, I also know, Reza won't let me talk to Salsya alone. Therefore, I had the idea in my head to get Reza out of the house at seven o'clock, before Salsya came.
At exactly 18.45 WIB, I asked Reza to come out and buy me some kind of food. I told him I wanted some extra spicy five-foot fried rice, paddock satay, goat satay, pizza, burger, plus random topping donuts and a lot of chocolate, nuts, and cheese. With enthusiasm Reza asserted. As always, every meal I wanted -- for him - was a cravings he was obliged to fill up without objection. And I know for a fact that everything I ordered was quite time consuming for him to drive around that night. Yep, he did want to order all of that via the delivery order app, but I asked him to buy all the food himself. I don't want any mistakes, I said.
"Rather than the fried rice is not spicy, or the pizza and burger my order is given mayonnaise, or the sate is not goat, later even do not use lontong, how?"
Reza smiled. He felt it meant I was giving a signal for us to make up. "But you're coming, yeah. I don't want to leave you alone at home."
I'm shaking. "I'm lazy. I want to relax and wait for you to show good faith. Buy me my order without one less. Okay?"
"Ready, Mistress." He grabbed the car keys and headed straight for the exit. "You're not going anywhere, yeah. Don't forget to lock the door."
I just nodded, then closed the door for Reza to leave immediately. And, she didn't know that I had switched her phone for the other unused phone, which I used to play games.
I'm glad he finally left. And then...
