MAHMUD, I Love U
A Good Aunt

Mayra sighed then exhaled through the corner of her lips slowly. He looked at Gendis for a moment, gathering strength to admit that what his tanti was saying was indeed true. Mayra hesitated whether or not she should tell her aunt everything? But her little heart said she had to tell him. Gendis is his family. And Mayra needs one of her family members to know about what she's been through. With them knowing, at least Mayra did not really think her strange relationship with Rendra was something special that had to be covered up.

Mayra took her breath again reassuringly. Then he nodded. Gendis gawking in disbelief.

"I had a relationship with that man. He's Rendra, Te," I'm Mayra at last.

"Rendra??" Gendis' eyes were round as if in disbelief. "Rendra the photographer Griya??" ask Gendis again convincingly.

Although the name and face of Rendra had seen from Mayra's story and submission that he was a new photographer in Griya Cantika, but the woman had never met him in person. Especially when they saw Mayra in the car with Rendra this afternoon, they were quite far away. Gendis did not very clearly see the man's face.

Mayra nodded.

"Can't you??" ask Gendis more curious. "He's not younger than you, is he?" Gendis recalls Rendra through the short biodata that Mayra had sent her first.

Although Mayra has full rights to manage Griya Cantika in Bandung, but if there is anything he always communicates it first to Gendis. Including new employees who want to join. Gendis knows that in Griya branch there are new employees named Rendra and Wuni. But he had never met the two. The purpose of Gendis coming to Bandung that day one of them is to visit Griyanya tomorrow.

"I don't know, either, why it's all like this. I had absolutely no intention of falling too deep on Rendra. At first I was just a prank, but...."

"You're wrong May!! Because of the fact there should be no word 'bad' for us women. We are weak. We get carried away quickly. We could have said we were just a prank, just messing around or whatever the name was. But in the end we'll be trapped ourselves."

Mayra looked at her tant. He nodded then bowed. Gendis' words really struck him. Everything Gendis said was true, Mayra was already trapped. Although he had tried to escape from Rendra, but in fact he always met the man almost every day. And it was a gap for her to add flavor again and again.

"Azka knows??" asked Gendis curiously.

Mayra nodded.

Gendis exhaled her breath hard. "Then??"

"I know Azka is angry. But he could cover everything as if nothing had happened. He's too good, Te."

"Well, you know that for yourself. Azka is the best husband aunty ever knew. You know Gibran, right? Why did my aunt decide to break up with him?" ask Gendis deliberately discussing her ex-husband, Gibran.

Mayra looked at Gendis inside. She clearly knew the reason why her aunt was suing her husband for divorce. Gibran is a temperamental figure at once strange. She can be very sweet to Gendis when her heart is good. But if he has a little problem in his work for example, then Gendislah will be used as a place to vent his regret. If Gendis mispronounced a little when her husband asked for advice on the matter, then such rude remarks as, 'Basic goblog you!!', 'What kind of an army is that?', 'Basic wife is not so dirty! There is no point in me asking for advice from a bego woman like you!!', going out of Gibran's mouth like a wind that easily blows.

Worse yet when Gendis is known to go home with her ex-lover. At that time the tire of the car broke on the road, and there happened to be an ex who passed by and offered a ride because it was raining heavily. The flustered gendis was alone because it was already night, pacing himself back and forth around his car in panic. He tried to contact Gibran, but he tried 7 times, the phone was not picked up. Until his ex came. The ex immediately called his acquaintance mechanic to come to the place mentioned to take care of Gendis' car, while he immediately drove Gendis home. But what happened when Gendis arrived at his house was, Gibran was furious. After the ex came home, Gibran slapped Gendis mercilessly. He thought his wife was coming home late for going alone with her ex. Every mouth of Gendis opened wanting to explain something, then one slap landed on her cheek. Slap after slap landed on Gendis' cheek until she finally collapsed and collapsed.

Mayra looked at Gendis who was also looking at her. He was so happy with his good aunt. Soon after, he remembered himself. If her husband had been like Gibran, she might have been beaten mercilessly. Moreover, it was obvious that he had a relationship with another man. Mayra shook her head in horror. The azkan is very good. The man hugged when he found out his wife had made a mistake. Azka instead said that all was his fault that did not take care of Mayra well. What is the good heart of the man named Azka really made of?

Mayra's eyes are glazed. His heart ached remembering all his actions that hurt Azka. Her husband did not deserve to be hurt. He's too perfect.

"Hm??"

"I'm too mean, huh?"

Gendis sighed again. He did not think at all that his visit to Bandung that time would be greeted with the problem of his nephew who was quite complicated. She also did not expect that Mayra would be tempted by a young man who might not be better than Azka. In the eyes of Gendis, Azka was almost perfect. The man was handsome, kind, patient, loving, his work was also good, most importantly, Gendis knew that the man loved his nephew very much. Azka was very willing to sacrifice anything to make Mayra happy. And now Mayra easily likes another guy??

"What do you like about Rendra?" ask Gendis to investigate.

"She..," said Mayra. He also actually does not understand the reason why he can like the man. "He's fun, Te. He can also understand me without me talking much."

"No Azka??" gendis protest does not want to lose.

Mayra's still down. He didn't answer.

"Azka less what, May?" asked Gendis again, urging her father to quickly realize his mistake. Mayra was silent.

"Tante doesn't want you to regret it later, huh. Don't let Azka be really disappointed in you. Just imagine if Azka saw you two in the car with Rendra earlier??"

"I'm not both, Te. I was with Wuni earlier."

"Wuni where is he?" gendis protested because she did not see anyone else in the car this afternoon.

"Wuni still wants to be with Lina on the beach. So I left her there," I'm Mayra honest.

Hearing Lina's name being called, Gendis squinted one of her eyes. "Lina's back?"

Gendis knew from Mayra that Lina had been some time this vacuum from Griya. But Mayra did not give a clear reason. He just didn't want his tantric to know that his Griya had been lacking lately just because of a trivial matter, man. Especially that guy is Rendra.

Mayra nodded. At first he did want to hide everything from Gendis, but in fact the tantenya even knew by itself. Mayra thought, should she tell everything? About her, Lina, and Rendra?

"Te??"

"What??"

Mayra was silent for a moment. His head that had lowered earlier, he pushed it slowly. His eyes are puffy. White mucus comes out from between the cavities of his nose.

"Shall I just get out of Griya?"
