MAHMUD, I Love U
I'm Sorry!

"Bi, where's Azka?"

Mayra asked her husband to bi Marni who was watering plants in the front yard that morning.

"Mas Azka has departed from morning, Ma'am. He said there were emergency patients. When the new aunt arrived, Azka was ready to go." Bi Marni explained.

Bi Marni works at Mayra's house for about 12 hours every day. Depart at 6 am or even less than that as today, and go home around 5 pm, depending on the situation and conditions. But if there is something needed, bi Marni can just stay at her employer's house.

Bi Marni calls Mayra "Mbak", while "Mas" refers to Azka. Because for the 55-year-old bi Marni, they were both considered like their own children.

"Yes already, Bi. Then please make Mayra egg fried rice only, Bi. Mayra's 8 o'clock must be in Griya."

Mayra enters the room. She lay down her body again enjoying the cold morning air under the blanket. He saw a wall clock, still at 6:35. At the sight of Anggun's bed, her little princess was still fast asleep.

Mayra picked up her phone which was on a small table beside the bed. Two whatsApp messages came in on his phone, that message from 'My Azka', and 'Bocah'.

Mayra hurriedly opened the message from the boy.

📩 'Why was yesterday's rose thrown away?'

Deg.

Mayra's stunned. How did Rendra know?

He got up and ran to the front yard. He saw the garbage cans of his house no more roses last night. The other trash is still there. Signs of the complex janitor has not transported the garbage he does every morning.

"Bi, auntie knows the roses in front?"

Bi Marni who was still busy watering the garden turned her head.

"Wose in front where, Ma'am?"

"That white rose yesterday, Bi. Last night I dumped it in the front trash can. But now there's no."

"Owalaah beautiful flowers so how to throw away, Ma'am? Why not just for aunt?"

Mayra was getting dizzy hearing the aunt's answer. He ran to the room again. He looked at a message from Rendra on his phone. He read again his lines.

Why throw away?

Mayra typed a reply message for Rendra. A message from her husband has not been read.

📨 'You take the flowers again?'

The person across quickly replied briefly with just one word.

📩 'Yes.'

Mayra patted her head in shame. He wondered why Rendra the little boy could tell what he had done last night? Did Rendra go to her house at night? Or maybe ....

Mayra suspects Rendra is living in a complex with her. Or it could be that the boy is spending in the area near his home.

Mayra immediately searched Lina's number. He thought, his friend must know the address of the man he was expecting.

Yes, Lina does like Rendra. Lina herself told Mayra a few weeks ago. Lina said, Rendra's face is her type. Face with firm jaw with a sweet smile. In addition, Lina also likes Rendra because she is good at photography. Not only that, there is something unique in Rendra that Lina also likes. That is Rendra's disinterest in photographing just any object. Especially women.

⬅️

"Photo me dong!"

"Which partner?" Rendra replied to his friend's request with a question.

"Whose partner?" Lina's confused.

"So he said he wanted to take a photo. If I want a photo, there must be a partner."

"Well, how is that?"

"Yes. If you're alone, I'm afraid to have a crush later."

"Why could that be?"

"When you look at your face, I look at the house. I look at every detail. If I have a crush on danger."

"Haha. Messy, fucked."

From that moment Lina so know, that Rendra only photograph the face of the woman he likes.

And Mayra, she accidentally doesn't tell Lina, that the man she's been expecting likes her. She was confused as to how to explain everything to Lina.

➡️

📞 "Hello Lin. Lin if Rendra's house where, huh?" Mayra immediately spoke as Lina had raised her call.

📞 "Still this morning wooooy! This kid asked Rendra."

📞 "Where is it? Her house?"

📞 "At Asih Raya complex. Why?"

Mayra silence. That's a sign that the boy lives far enough away from the complex. Then he knew where the flowers were thrown away at night?

DRTT, DRTTTT.

Another call came in on Mayra's phone. The screen on the phone says Azka's name.

📞 "Lin is already yes. Thanks for the info."

Mayra disconnects her phone with Lina and picks up the phone directly from her husband.

📞 "Yank? You're up, right?" the person across directly asked without a hello.

📞 "Hehe, yes Yank already."

📞 "Have you read my letter? I'm sorry I left so early this morning without saying goodbye."

A letter?

Mata Mayra immediately looked for the letter her husband meant.

Meet me!

One sheet of plain white paper reads,

'Good morning, dear. Sorry I suddenly had morning service. Breakfast before work. Love you's'.

Mayra's chest tight. He knew he had made a mistake. Today, she had already ignored her husband for the sake of another man, Rendra, the rancid boy who was absolutely nobody.
