MAHMUD, I Love U
Heart Ballad

"Tuh .. thatuh!!" Gracefully pointed at an elephant in front of him who was playing his trunk. Sometimes he clapped his hands cheerfully. I know that little girl is happy.

Azka looked at the two women while smiling faintly. Last night's events have tried to be forgotten, more precisely he is quiet as if there is no. Remembering painful things for what? It's pointless.

Graceful sitting on the iron border area elephant shakes his legs. He wanted to get out of his mother's grip and walk towards the elephant that was right facing his face. Mayra laughed again.

"Yank, I'll buy some water for a while" Azka told Mayra. He wanted to gulp down the cold mineral.

Coincidentally not far from their location, there are many small stalls selling various kinds of food and drinks. In front of the stalls there is an empty land that contains a stretch of green grass that can be used as a place to rest lesehan by renting a mat that has been provided by each stall.

Mayra nodded. She let her husband go alone because his Grace was still eager to see the long-nosed beast with wide ears.

Azka walked to a row of stalls by choosing to go around the brick road although the distance is much further, than having to pass through the grass area that has been filled with many visitors who are sitting casually enjoying their own meals, Azka did not want to. He walked down the road step by step while remembering his old Mayra. In college, Azka had several times asked Mayra for a date at the zoo. The reason is only one, Mayra likes the egg meatballs there which are said to taste delicious second to none. Azka chuckled alone. Eating a bowl of meatballs should also visit the zoo? The mayhem is so adorable. Not felt, Azka had arrived at her destination stall.

"Cold mineral water two yes, ma'am," Pinta Azka as she reached into the wallet in the back pocket of her pants.

Next to Azka standing, there were two women who rolled their eyes giving codes to each other. Azka heard their whispers calling Mayra's name even though it was vague. But he doesn't care, Azka doesn't know them.

"Em, sorry..," Tukas one of the women in black said hello.

"Yes??" Azka answered while receiving a white crackle containing two bottles of drinking in her order.

"I'm sorry, Mayra's husband, right?" Ask the woman directly. "From here I saw the threesome in front of the elephant with Mayra" he continued.

"Yes right. Sorry, was my wife's friend?" Azka was now standing facing the two women.

"not mas. Just know, not friends" the woman replied emphasizing her last two words. "By the way I and I have met before, remember?"

Azka. He remembered the face of the woman in front of him. But he doesn't remember it at all. Azka meets too many new patients every day, her brain does not really catch the things that are less influential in her life.

"I'm sorry I forgot. My patient's mother?" Azka asked guessing.

"Oooh, is that a doctor?" The woman he asked asked asked back.

"So handsome husband like this, doctor anyway, what less try?" The black-shirted lady deliberately asked the friend next to her in a contrived tone.

Azka already understood that something was wrong with the situation at that time. Not wanting to linger there, Azka was about to leave. But Azka's intention was restrained when the black-shirted woman said something to Azka.

"You may have forgotten about me. I'm Sandu's fiancee. We met in the restaurant parking lot. Introduce, I am Risa," said the woman in a black shirt as she extended her hand.

Azka greeted him for a while and then took it off again. He now remembers.

"Oh yes Sandu, Mayra High School friend right?"

"Friends? Haha." Risa. "Kok a friend anyway? Mayra just told you that?"

Azka understood the meaning of Risa's words. But he did not want to misunderstand his wife. So Azka decided to stay there until the clarity about Sandu she got from the woman in front of her who still had not finished her laughter.

"Your wife is funny, right? Why not be honest? Sandu, the former him who can not be forgotten," continued Risa still with a tone of laughter, deliberately twisting the facts.

Risa with Lina had indeed planned to destroy Mayra in the way they arranged. But all this time it was Lin who was moving more. And it was quite a coincidence for Risa because that afternoon she was able to meet with Mayra's husband directly. He could at least be one step faster to complete his mission.

"Be careful, my friend. Your wife's cunning is, "Risa's still laughing, made-up.

"You don't like Mayra?" Azka said straight to the core.

Risa instantly fell silent, she wavered. But did not have time to answer, Azka had resigned. Azka walked away from the two women. Disease, he thought.

Up to Mayra, Azka sat down on the brick that turned her back to Mayra. He sipped his drink until it was half gone. The two women opposite him had now disappeared. Azka set the mind in her head. Why have so many women been reporting this to him lately about his wife?

"Yank? Don't sit there dong! Let's rent a mat and eat Anggun, "Take Mayra to touch her husband's shoulder. Azka nodded. Taken Anggun then walk to the grassland under the shady tree.

Mayra did not know that her husband had been visited by Risa. He was too cool to show Anggun about the elephant that had not changed its position to face him and Graceful. Now Mayra is focusing on feeding Anggun porridge minced meat bi Marni cuisine this morning. While Azka was still thinking about Risa's words. But she was sure, her Mayra was not what Risa had said. Because of her Mayra, it was clearly being tempted by a man other than Sandu right now.

Lina today still hasn't come in. Women in Griya now only have Mayra and Wuni. The two were waiting for their lunch at Warung Lontong. The stalls are usually crowded, the afternoon was quite quiet. There were only four customers who filled the table. Now it's five, because before long, Rendra came to join Mayra's table without permission.

"Hunter Wun?" Rendra asked Wuni who was chewing her favorite emping.

"Just say this, huh!" Wuni replied while wanting to throw one emping at the man beside her. "Eh that face is smooth again huh? Wear your skincare?" Wuni watched Rendra's face that had been released from the bruise. Yesterday there was still.

"Hahaha, skincare? Yes, yes," replied Rendra also opened a pack of emping that is already available on a large jar in front of him.

Mayra was silent, she had not responded to anything since knowing Rendra had come earlier. Sometimes Mayra accidentally opened her cellphone which is nothing. He was determined to keep his distance from the man in front of him.

"Part of lack of work anyway use tonjok-tonjokan everything!" Wuni. His words succeeded in making Mayra look up.

"Tonjok-tonjokan?" Mayra finally opened her voice. Wuni nodded. "You Ren? With who?" Mayra finally still could not hide her worry.

"Forget over. Orders are coming, we'll eat." Take Rendra with a soothing smile. She doesn't want to until Mayra finds out that her husband came to her last night.

The arrival of food really saved Rendra from the mouth of Wuni who was ready to answer. If Wuni said Rendra was fighting with Rizal, Mayra would definitely not be as easy to believe as Wuni did yesterday. And Rendra hasn't prepared a good answer for that.

"Yesdrahaan!!" Wuni excitedly lifted the spoon and fork in her hand and ate a clear soto with rice one plate that she ordered.

Mayra was silent. Soto Kuah who was steaming in front of him had not been touched. He looked at Rendra, looking at every inch of her face. And yes, there was still a speck of blue bruise near his lips.

***

Rendra sat in the kitchen chair with one cup of coffee in her hand. He has not come home because he knows that Mayra needs to talk to him. Although the woman did not say it directly, but her gaze at the WL was enough to indicate that the woman needed an explanation from him.

And it's true, when all the employees came home, Mayra and Rendra both chose to stay in Griya.

"So good guy you wear fight everything?" The new Mayra sat directly in front of Rendra.

Griya is deserted. Although it is located on the side of the highway, but the area of Griya park is quite large. So from inside, the sound of the vehicle roar is no longer heard. Unless the sound of the motors that exhaust has been trimmed until it sounds brebet-brebet.

"Who's hanging with you?" Mayra was looking for the man in front of her.

"Yesterday I told Wuni that I was fighting with Rizal" replied Rendra briefly.

"Damn it!!" Mayra chuckles.

Rendra smile. He had already memorized the attitude and nature of the woman in front of him. The woman in front of him would not be easy to believe with all sorts of information that he did not see himself. Especially about him.

Rendra sipped his coffee slowly. There was silence for a while there. The two waited for who would speak first.

"Don't worry, I'm okay." Rendra immediately gave a conclusion that Mayra immediately replied with laughter.

"You think I'm worried?" Mayra grinning. Rendra nodded. Mayra shakes. The clear gel is very legible to his lies.

"OK, let's just say you're not worried. Its alright. But, if the mouth is difficult to confess, at least there are eyes that I can read," said Rendra finally made Mayra stunned.

Mayra breathed slowly. Rendra looked at the face of the woman in front of him. He was in love with that beautiful-eyed woman. Rendra smile.

"My message yesterday you didn't reply, why?" Rendra was talking about something else.

"Which order?"

"Hm, is this really forgetting or pretending to forget?" Nada Rendra teases.

"Which message is it?"

Rendra chuckles. He guessed that Mayra wanted to hear the message directly from him. Although Mayra actually forgot, rather did not know. Mayra didn't know there was a message from Rendra yesterday. The message has not been read.

"OKAY. Because my message yesterday you haven't replied, so I ask you to reply to the message now yes!"

Mayra squinted her eyes. "What?"

"I love you!"
