MAHMUD, I Love U
A Hugs

"Wun, eat at the front stall, yuk!" Lina eagerly invites her new friend in Griya.

"Come on, Ma'am," Wuni replied no less excited.

The two walked together towards Warung Lontong. Today Mayra could not come to Griya because this morning the body of Anggun is hot. Rendra too. He can't get in today because he has to wait for his father to get sick. His photography task while held by Anto who is also quite good at photography. Anto is one of Griya's employees who is in charge of helping Rendra in all kinds of shooting preparations. Including replacing him if Rendra can not come like today.

Arriving at WL (Warung Lontong), Lina and Wuni immediately ordered their lunch menu. They sit on the outside chair while enjoying the cool afternoon air.

"Tomorrow we're looking at Rendra's father?" Wuni asked the friend in front of her while plucking one plastic emping melinjo, then chewed on it.

"If Mayra comes, tomorrow will be." Lina took the emping on Wuni's pack.

"Should there be a Mayra, huh, Ma'am? His son is sick. Maybe tomorrow can't come."

"Hm, yes. Look how tomorrow is."

Wuni nodded. They both eat emping while waiting for the order that is being made. Warjan Pak Lontong Warjan Warung is famous for delicious. Customers come from everywhere. And it was very profitable for Griya Cantika. The sustenance comes from anywhere. And it could be that Griya's client came from one of the WL customers who accidentally stopped by, right?

"Mr?" Wuni called Lina somewhat whispering.

"What?" Lina the cablek answered loudly.

"Mayra's mom still got a husband, right?"

Wuni's question made Lina chuckle. Maybe his new friend was thinking strangely.

"Why is that?"

"It's okay. Just want to know. I've never seen her husband, hehe."

"Ngawur. Something must be wrong in your mind, right?" Lina threw one melinjo towards Wuni.

"Hehe. You see, yesterday I accidentally heard Rendra's chat with his guest. Uh, guest Mayra I mean." Wuni corrected her words.

"Guest Mayra? Who?" Lina curious.

"Listen to hear his name is Sandu, former Ma'am Mayra."

Lina raised one eyebrow. The woman in front of him said she just overheard. Why does he seem to know so much?

Lina came home early yesterday. From noon on, no guests came. Lina thought the guest must have come by afternoon.

Sandu, that name was once twice Lina had heard from Mayra. But he forgot to remember the details.

"They are fighting over Mayra" Wuni said, clarifying the information he got.

Yesterday Wuni actually deliberately eavesdropped on Rendra's chat with Sandu behind the wooden gate of Griya. Rendra and Sandu certainly did not know that his chatter was heard by a third person.

"Captured? Meaning how?" Lina's getting sensitive.

"This is what Lin is, so Sandu's a former Mayra brother who hasn't been able to move on. While Rendra, he also turns out to have a crush on Mayra, you know?" Wuni explained with her innocent face.

"Rendra has a crush on Mayra? Does she know Mayra's married?" Lina's voice sounded more like a protest than a tell.

"That's it, Ma'am. I don't understand either."

Order coming. Wuni immediately devoured the soto with a yellow broth filled with chicken suwiran on it. While Lina was already lustless to eat the tempting dishes in front of her. His mind drifted far away trying to digest well the words of the friend in front of him.

Today Rendra is still unable to come to Griya. He was still waiting for his father in the hospital. Mayra. He also could not come because Azka came home today. Luckily, there was Wuni. He could completely replace Mayra's work today.

Today there is a prewedding photo shoot in a rubber garden located on the border of the city. Lina, Wuni, Rudi, and Anto drove one car to their destination. Although Mayra and Rendra are not there, but they can handle all the work well. That's how the employees of Griya Cantika, they are solid. Thanks to the fun rules and family principles that Mayra applies.

Arrive at the rubber garden.

One, two, Anto began photographing the happy couple in front of him. Lina and Wuni were sitting on a wooden chair under a tree watching. Lina smiled seeing the two brides-to-be express their sumringah. Very obvious they are very happy.

"Sir Lina is not married, is she?" Wuni opened the conversation as she glanced at Lina smiling.

"Not yet." Lina answered briefly while not taking her eyes off the beautiful scenery in front.

"But you have a boyfriend?"

"This is a boy!" Lina answered anxiously. He wanted to shake his friend's head.

"Hehe. I've guessed it."

"Guess what? Does it say JOMBLO?" Lina had finally completely paid Wuni's attention.

"Haha, no Ma'am. You know, it's been a few days in Griya, I've never seen Lin call with that smile...."

"Well, if calling a girlfriend has to be a smile?"

"If you are happy, yes. But if her boyfriend gets caught cheating, he'll call her crying."

"Maha." Lina. "If you are, where is your boyfriend?"

"Jomblo me too, hehehe."

"Hahaha, fate has already."

"Mister Lin?"

"What?"

"The male employees in Griya are not all married yet, is it possible that Lin does not like one of them?"

Lina was silent, not answering her new friend's silly questions. Lina's lips lifted one. He was anxious with Wuni's mouth that was indeed thin-seplos.

"Rendra is handsome. Just brush!" Wuni teases. She did not know that Lina did like the man. "If Lin doesn't like it, let me brush it."

"Brush, brush. You said Rendra likes Mayra?" Lina probing. He actually still lacked confidence in the information that Wuni had given him yesterday. He could have heard it wrong, right?

"Rendra likes it Mayra's his business. Why does he like people's wives? It was like there was no other woman. Is edan him, huh? Love it but can't be together, what for? Isn't that Lin?"

"Hahaha, you're smart."

Mayra is in Azka's arms tonight. She misses the smell of her husband's body. The two laid back on a bed that had existed since the beginning of their marriage. Anggun already fell asleep after taking the heat-lowering medicine. Her body is still warm. Mayra is grateful to have Graceful. In any less healthy condition, Anggun remains cheerful and not fussy.

Mayra hugged her husband's body tightly while closed. Azka responded by kissing Mayra's hair. There is a calmness that they can find there.

"Yank?" Azka called out with her lips still attached to Mayra's hair.

"Yes?" Mayra still buried her face in the chest of Azka's field.

"Who was the sender of the roses yesterday?"

"It's ah yank. I don't want to discuss that. Lazy."

"But I want to know."

"Hm." Mayra sighed. "I don't know, Yank. No name of sender."

Azka's eyes looked forward. His wife had been sent flowers twice without her identity. Azka is actually jealous. But he didn't really heed her feelings. For him, as long as his Mayra was still loyal, he would be fine.

Elsewhere, Rendra cried loudly hugging her father who was not breathing in a hospital bed, alone.
