MAHMUD, I Love U
Simple Gift

"Someone was looking for you in Griya." Lina opened the conversation when Mayra was just sitting on the carpet of a ramen shop. The ramen shop they went to did only have a lesehan seat as their hallmark.

That afternoon Lina, Mayra, and Wuni, are invited to a meal by their new friend, Rizal, at a ramen shop. Rizal has from yesterday ordered a room measuring approximately 3x3 meters specifically for his friends to enjoy the famous good ramen noodles.

As usual, Lina always arrived on time. She is a very disciplined woman, even for less important appointments. In addition to being on time, Lina was also eager to come at Rizal's invitation that afternoon because there must be Rendra. Lina had already decided to be 'brave' to Rendra from now on. He would no longer like the man secretly.

"Who?" Mayra had no idea who the guest Lina was referring to was. Because Mayra did not come to Griya today.

"Sandu," Lina replied briefly.

"Oooh," replied Mayra no less short.

"Just 'oh'??"

"Then what should? Let it be. Wuni hasn't come yet?" Mayra deliberately diverted the conversation.

"Sandu is Risa's candidate, right? Our client? Hm, I mean...prospective clients who cancel to become clients?" Lina sounded insinuating.

"Yes." Yeah." Mayra answered briefly. He knew his friend was being cynical with him for some reason.

"fast." Lina started to be very cynical this time.

"This means how? Where are we going?" Mayra finally got carried away with emotions.

"You slapped Risa right? It's itchy."

Hearing Lina's words, Mayra's face turned red. Either Lina knows where about Risa slapping her. Mayra did not tell anyone about it. Including Rendra who that day drove him to meet Risa.

Mayra could only sculpt while looking at Lina who was casually stirring her avocado juice. He did not understand why the friend who was close to him could talk that hard.

"Eatya, if you already have a husband who is a henchman. Don't still like flirting with people's girlfriends. Was it slapped?" lina continued still discussing the 'slap' casually. He did not care about the heart of the friend in front of him.

Mayra was silent. But his chest is already tight. His hunting breath held back the anger.

"You want a divorce with Azka?"

BRAG!!

Mayra's patience is already on the verge of the limit. His friend's words have been made up. He's breaking the table and he's gonna walk away. He was lazy to follow his friend. But when going out of the room, Rizal and Rendra came.

"Where are you going?" Rendra held Mayra's body. He saw the woman's face was red. His eyes were already full of water ready to spill.

Rizal who did not know anything was also confused to see the two women in front of him_one sitting casually while stirring drinks, the other one wanted to leave with a chaotic face.

Mayra did not heed Rendra's question. He passed by, walking quickly towards the parking lot.

"May, wait a minute!" Rendra followed Mayra to the parking lot.

"Sorry I can't come." Mayra rubbed her cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"Greetings to Rizal yes. I'm sorry I couldn't join" Mayra said as she entered her car.

"May??"

Mayra doesn't care about Rendra. He drove his car out of the parking lot. Wuni, who had been watching them, wrapped both hands on her chest.

"Ckckck, why did they choose such a complicated path anyway?" thought.

Inside the shop, five bowls of ramen with a delicious smelling puff of smoke were ready on the table containing only Lina and Rizal. Rizal was still silent, not wanting to ask what and why about the incident.

Soon Rendra joined, followed by Wuni who immediately sat next to Lina.

"Let's go ahead" said Lina ahead as if she was the host. He did not care about the two men in front of him who looked at each other in wonder.

Wuni who had just come was confused to see all her friends that day behaving abnormally. Nevertheless, he immediately went to devour the red-fruit ramen before him.

***

Elsewhere, Mayra drove her car fast. He had to get to Nyamnyam's cafe soon because there was someone waiting for him. Mayra was actually lazy to meet that person. But due to her compulsion, she had to contact him and ask him to meet.

A man in a black shirt whose buttons were open one smiled as the woman he was waiting for came.

"I'm glad you finally met yourself" he said with a smile. "Sit down!"

One glass of orange juice and fries that are still warm have been served there. The man had apparently calculated when the woman he was waiting for would come.

"Why are you looking for me in Griya?" ask Mayra tho the point.

The man in front of him, chuckled. "Kangen."

"Your crazy!!"

"Are you not?"

"Jeez Sandu, please. We have each other's lives. I have Azka, Anggun, and you..."

"Risa? He's different from you."

Mayra grunted in annoyance. It's worth Risa as if she hates him, all because of her boyfriend's attitude which is still like that.

Mayra accidentally contacts Sandu and invites him to meet after leaving the ramen shop because he wants to straighten things out and will ask Sandu to no longer come looking for him.

"Have you forgotten everything we've ever done??"

'Do'??

That sentence sounds like harassment to Mayra. During High School, she did date Sandu long enough. And there's been a lot of things he's 'did' both with his ex.

"That's it, San. Don't talk about stupid stuff. Now we are both adults. Please take care of Risa. Do not let his mind still mess with me who never interfere in your affairs at all!!"

"Yes. I'm sorry Risa slapped you."

Mayra looked at Santu sharply. "So you told Lina about the slap?"

"Lina who?" Sandu asked honestly because he did not know the name that Mayra called. "I never told anyone about Risa's slap. Hey, that's my candidate's disgrace. There's no way I can expose it to anyone else, right?"

Mayra was silent, she agreed with Sandu's reasoning.

"Maybe Rendra," replied Sandu lightly.

Hearing Mayra's reply, Sandu laughed without a sound.

"From your expression, you don't seem to know that she came to Risa, huh?" Sandu guess.

"Come to Risa? What's for?"

"To ask him, 'What has he done to make the woman he loves cry?' Yeah, I guess so."

Mayra digested the man in front of her. Rendra went to Risa to defend her? Rendra found out because she was crying at that time by directly meeting Risa? That day Mayra banned it. But in fact the man still met Risa without her knowing. Mayra's mind finally guessed, how deep did the man feel about her?

***

"What's the matter exactly?" Rizal asked the friend beside him while the two were on their way home.

Rizal's still taking the wheel since yesterday. He's now staying at Rendra's house for a while, or can it go on? Who know? Rizal wants to make amends to his friend. He promised himself to always be by Rendra's side from this point on.

"Lina seems to know everything." Rendra answered steadily.

"What about?"

"What I feel about Mayra."

Rizal was silent for a moment hearing his friend's words, it seemed like he had made a mistake again. He bit his lips.

"Oh, that. It seems like yesterday I was wrong to say, Ren," I'm Rizal.

"Wrongly how?"

"When I was at the beach yesterday, I told Lina that Mayra was at your house all day."

"Darkl." Rendra massaged his temple. Mayra should be crying. Lina must have scolded him all out, he thought.

Rendra immediately took out a flat object from her pants pocket and called Mayra straight away.

📞 "Hello, May??" Rendra immediately said, Mayra on the other side had put a cellphone on her ear.

📞 "Yes??"

📞 "Where are you?"

📞 "Still outside."

📞 "Where? I'm there, huh?"

***

"I'm sorry, May."

Rendra and Mayra are now sitting on the same beach chair as yesterday. While Rizal was waiting for him in a car that was a good distance away. From where he sat, Rizal could see the two friends were seriously talking.

"Lina's mad at you?" ask Rendra gently.

"Something." Mayra did not know the real cause of Lina could be as harsh on him.

"Lina knows I like you?" guess Rendra.

Mayra. That's not what Lina talked about at the ramen shop earlier, he thought.

"You know I was on Risa's slap?" Mayra asked something else.

Rendra nodded. But Mayra was sure, it wasn't Rendra who told Lina about the slap. If not Sandu and not Rendra, then Lina knows from whom? Mayra thought.

"Do you love me?" Mayra asked me something else.

Rendra nodded again.

"Stupid." Mayra said cynically while smiling.

Rendra is still waiting for the continuation of the woman's sentence.

"There's no point in you loving me. Because there will never be a result." Mayra explained seriously.

"Yeah, I know. But let this taste die by itself. For now, let me enjoy everything myself" Rendra said as he stared at the waves before him.

"For you." Rendra gave Mayra something she took out of her shirt pocket.

Mayra chuckled at the young man's gift. A keychain measuring no more than 10cm.

"What's this?" tanyakanya.

"Gift," answered Rendra briefly.

"Gift in what order?"

"In commemoration of Mayra's world weeping day."

"See, you little boy." Mayra smiled knot shyly, adorable.

He stared at the hanger of a brown doll given by Rendra, "Beautiful. I like", her inner.
