MAHMUD, I Love U
Telephone

📞"Hello, with Griya Cantika here," said Lina lifting the phone handle that was next to her computer screen that had just rang.

That day was the first day Lina worked again in Griya after a long vacuum. That afternoon Lina sat alone in the front room staring at the computer screen to fix the Griya agenda folder to better understand it. While Wuni, Rendra, and Anto are busy juggling the back room to be used as a mini studio. Lately job Griya is quite quiet. For that Lina proposed juggling an empty room to be a photo studio that afternoon already contains some cute decor tools.

📞 "Hello Linaku dear," said the person across who instantly recognized Lina's voice. "Have you started working again now?"

Lina was silent, she knew very well who the voice of the person who called her was. I really want him to hang up the phone immediately. But his intention was to undo, Lina must know the purpose of the woman who suddenly called Griya that afternoon.

📞 "What's wrong?" ask Lina ketus.

📞 "Yes, this is how you talk to your client??" The voice across sounded mocking.

📞 "Already, Ris! Hurry up and say what you want?"

📞 "OK, relax Iaaang, relax!!" said the woman across the street who was none other than Risa with a soft snob. "I was hoping the one who answered my phone was Mayra. But the coincidence that raised is you, so I'll finish my business with you first, yaa."

Lina kept the phone off her ear and looked at him. 'What business?'

📞 "By the way, Mayra was there not today?" Risa still takes over the conversation.

📞"Already, Ris! Don't have to beat around the bush. What is your business with me?"

📞 "You are not at home now, linger talking to me?" Risa is still teasing, trying to provoke the emotions of her interlocutor.

Lina sighed. He understands very well the behavior of his 'former' friend. He was right about what Risa was doing. But Lina tried to remain silent. He doesn't want to get emotional.

Without Lina knowing, from a distance of three meters behind her, Rendra who accidentally passed directly stopped her steps when she heard the name Risa called. The man had always wanted to know if there was any news about Risa. Because of everything about Risa, there must be something to do with her favorite woman, Mayra.

Lina was still silent, just her breath indicating that she was still holding the handle of her phone. Across Risa chuckled. She actually knew that Lina had started to get emotional.

📞 "What cooperation are you with Sandu?" Risa finally began to discuss the core of her conversation

📞 "Sopu?? You meanwhat??" it was Kilah Lina who indeed felt that she had never come into contact with Sandu in any case.

📞 "Already, Lin! Just confess. You're the one who told Sandu that Mayra's phone was on me?"

Lina scrunched her forehead. He did not feel at all doing the thing that Risa was accusing of.

📞 "So Sandu already know that Mayra's phone is on you? Thankfully," Lina said this time more relaxed than a few minutes before. He was happy because the rottenness of his 'friend' was finally known to others without him dismantling it.

Rendra who was still behind the wall frowned furiously. Mayra's phone she was looking for was on Risa. Rendra finally knew that the woman Budi meant who came to Griya at that time was Risa.

"Ekhem!!" Rendra came out of hiding and pretended to have a thud greeting Lina who was immediately shocked.

"Ren??" Lina reflexes instantly hung up on him.

Rendra looked at Lina at a glance but tried to act ordinary as if she had not heard what she had heard earlier. "Be behind yuk! Studio photo ala Griya Cantika already 60% finished tuh." Rendra rolled her eyes towards the back to invite Lina to see the results of the decor with Anto and Wuni.

"Well, it's almost done, huh? Sorry I didn't help. I haven't finished compiling all these files." Lina showed the screen in front with her chin.

"It's okay. You want to join Griya again I'm happy," I'm honest Rendra.

Lina smiled as she nodded her head slowly.

"OK, come!" Lina got up from her seat and walked ahead of Rendra towards the back room.

Until there, Lina was surprised to see the work of her friends. The back room he last saw was abandoned, now it looks amazing. Four sides of the wall that yesterday has been painted colorful by Anto and Rendra, that afternoon looks more beautiful after being so much with a variety of funny wall patches. Lina smiled.

"Thank you, you're a great team!" praise Lina terpengharu.

Wuni smiled and approached. "We, Ms. Lin, WE. We're all a great team." Wuni held Lina tightly.

Lina nodded. "Mayra should know this. Tomorrow we ask him to come. We took a photo together first in our new studio, all unofficial inauguration," said Lina again.

Everyone heard Lina's words. But among the laughter of all the friends there, the laughter of Rendralah is clearly different. The man's laughter was accompanied by a sense of happiness because tomorrow he would meet with Mayra, again.

***

That night Rendra sat alone on the terrace in her favorite chair while opening Mayra's blue social media site. Rendra looked at the photos of the mother of one child one by one. Rendra smile. The woman he loved was beautiful. Rendra did not intend to really take Mayra from her husband. But for now he also can not take off his love for the woman just like that. Feelings are the most complicated thing in the world. If I may ask, can Mayra be created once again just for Rendra?

Rendra sips coffee in a cup that lives half that. Slender. There is no Rizal. For a few days the man had been working in Kopikita.

From after Maghrib, Rizal had actually called Rendra to come to Kopikita, but Rendra refused. He was not in the mood to mince words with Raras. Rendra knew very well that if Rizal asked him to come to Kopikita, the reason was none other than so that he could be alone with Rinas.

While busy staring at the screen of the phone containing a row of Mayra photos, suddenly the name and number Rizal appeared to change the scene of the screen.

"Oh, this is a man!" grunts Rendra muttered to himself, but the phone screen remained immediately he shifted to the right.

📞 "Hello!!" greet Rendra ketus. He believes Rizal is still trying to persuade him to come to Copikita. "I told you, Bang. I don't want to go there."

📞 "Ren??"

DEG. Rendra gasped when she heard that the one who answered her phone was Raras. The man patted her softly while saying 'false' in his heart. He also cursed Rizal who had given his phone to Raras.

📞 "Hehe, you, Ras??" greeting Rendra awkwardly.

📞 "Yes, Ren. What are you sick of? I'm going there now?"

Sick??? Rendra gawking did not understand. How could Raras think he was sick? But there are no other suspects, Rendra immediately understood everything must be the act of his rowdy brother.

📞 "Hm, it's okay, Race. I'm just exhausted" replied Rendra.

📞 "I'm there now huh? Can you?"

📞 "Ngg, no, Race! Poor you, it's night. Tomorrow night I'll go to Copikita, okay??" Rendra gave the choice only so that Raras would not come to his house that night.

📞 "Hm, okay."

Rendra breathed a sigh of relief. Both of them shut up for a moment.

📞 "Ren??"

📞 "Yes??"

📞 "Can I ask you something?"

📞 "By, dong. Just ask, Race!" tukas Rendra gently dilute the atmosphere that he felt became more awkward.

📞 "Mmmmm, said bang Rizal, do you like me? Right??"

"Haaah???" Rendra's voice is almost inaudible because the only thing that comes out of his mouth is******short breath. His breath seemed to be stuck in the esophagus so surprised. He did not know what to answer to the girl's nagging question across the street that he was certain of Rizal's errand. Rendra could not keep quiet. Because if left unchecked, he was afraid that Raras would be disappointed later.

📞 "Hm, Ras, I'm going to Copikita now yes. Wait for me!"
