MAHMUD, I Love U
Monkey Love

Mayra is off for work today. His working holiday in Griya Cantika is actually erratic, depending on the guardianship of the candidates/brides, or if there is an urgent need only. Griya Cantika is the wedding studio of Gendis, her aunt Mayra. A woman in her 40s who married her husband only lasted 10 years.

Aunt Gendis married when she was 25, and was widowed at the age of 35. Now is his fifth year living life alone. Gendis is the youngest sister of Mayra's mother who still lives in Solo. Griya Cantika was the first wedding organizer. Gendis deliberately opened a branch in Bandung to be managed by his uncle. So actually Mayra is the boss at Griya Cantika. But he prefers to assume all employees there are the same. There are no superiors or subordinates. All are asked to work together to do their best for the progress of Griya. Gendis monitors the course of Griya only by phone and email, the rest he only visits a few times a year.

As usual, the holiday is the time Mayra invited her little daughter to play outside the house. And this holiday he used to go to the supermarket shopping for kitchen needs with bi Marni.

Up to the supermarket, Anggun pranced in excitement pointing to all sorts of food and drinks. He sits on a stroler pushed by Mayra, while bi Marni pushes a grocery trolley.

"Mammaaah, mammaah, tuh, that's." Gracefully chattering gnash.

Mayra picked up Anggun's favorite biscuit.

"You want this, baby? We buy a lot of yaa. Chaadaa." Mayra handed a pack of biscuits to her daughter who was held tightly in her hands did not want to escape.

While on the trolley bi Marni is full of biscuits, jelly, milk, and also diapers Anggun, not with other kitchen groceries.

While busy touring the supermarket, Mayra was surprised by the voice of a stranger in her ears.

"Hi, Mayra??"

The man said hello somewhat doubtfully. He's afraid of the wrong people.

"Hi, Ndu?"

The woman he greeted replied, a sign he was not wrong. They shake. The two of them did not expect to meet at the supermarket that afternoon. The man is Sandu, Mayra's ex-girlfriend when High School in Solo first.

"You're in Bandung now? Is this your child?" Sandu pointed at Anggun who was busy eating biscuits.

"Yes, this is Graceful, my son. I've been here a long time. You, also in Bandung now?"

Bi Marni said she would briefly buy laundry soap and her fragrance on the next shelf. Instead of staying there quietly, bi Marni prefers to immediately buy items that she has written on the grocery list paper.

"I have a job here" Sandu explained.

Mayra mangosteen understands. He hadn't seen his ex in a long time. After graduating from High School, Mayra immediately left Solo to study in Yogyakarta. And it was there that Mayra met Azka, her husband.

"You alone?" Mayra was curious because no one was with Sandu.

"Yes, alone. Hehe."

Mayra's mangosteen again. Saw the built-in trolley of Sandu. There are a lot of instant noodles and also ready-to-eat sashet coffee.

"That's for you all?" Mayra was curious as she pointed at the male trolley in front of her.

"Hehe, yes."

"Ooookeee."

Mayra refused to ask further. He asked if his ex was married or not? Have a child or not? Yeah, but it's too personal. Mayra chose to abandon her intentions.

"Waaah!!"

"You likey?" Azka clasped her woman's hand tightly.

That night he took his wife to dinner at a restaurant located on the edge of an uphill road to a mountainous area. Azka deliberately chose the most end table. From there, it is clear that the chasm below the yellow pias restaurant building is visible. From the dining tables are neatly arranged, visitors are presented with a view of nature that can be enjoyed just by bending their heads down. Trees lined up irregularly, and the houses of the citizens looked small with colorful lights.

Mayra and Azka sat face to face at a table on which a small candle was lit. The beautiful woman smiled.

"Thank you, Yank." Mayra cupped her hands to her husband's.

"I'm sorry, Yank." Azka replied that it was not according to his wife's statement.

"Cock?"

"I never asked you out like this in a long time."

Mayra chuckles. She knew her husband was busy. Almost every day Azka always comes home at night. Tonight Anggun accompanied by bi Marni. Mayra and Azka deliberately asked bi Marni to stay overnight today. While they want to be together first, enjoy the time people deserve to date.

"It's okay, Yank. You're the best."

Mayra hugged her husband. The man with the always shady look. The man who never said anything rude even though he was angry. A man who loved her and her daughter. The perfect man becomes a father and husband for her.

Before long, their ordered food came. Pandan rice with fried squid wrapped in crisp flour, complete with oyster sauce, as well as a bowl of sauteed broccoli with many slices of red chili. The restaurant they went to did serve a variety of menus, from all kinds of processed meat to salted fish. And that night Azka chose oyster squid saos which he said were the best-selling.

"Bismillah." Mayra took her first bribe. Azka.

"It's so good, Yaaank!!"

Azka smiled satisfied to see his wife liked the menu he chose. Both eat well.

"Yank, later we plan to always go both like this. At least once a month". Azka made a request.

Since there is Anggun, they are indeed rarely ever even go together for a date. Even though it is very important for married couples to keep their relationship harmonious. By traveling together, the heart will feel more attached, returning like young people who are drunk with love when dating.

Husband and wife relationships always need renewal so that they do not get bored quickly because of the monotony is just that and that is all that is done every day. And Azka agreed. He wanted to practice it for the days ahead with his beloved wife.

After eating, Mayra and Azka rushed home. No matter how delicious the atmosphere above, they still think Graceful. They walked to the parking lot.

Arriving at the parking lot,

"May, we meet again."

A man came out of the car next to Azka's.

"Oh, hi." Mayra answered the greeting of the man with a black shirt in front of him. That man is Sandu.

Azka, who did not know who the man was, raised her eyebrows hinting at Mayra that she wanted to be told.

"Oh, meet Yank, this is Sandu my old high school friend."

Azka reached out and was immediately greeted by Sandu.

Before long, a curly-haired woman came out of Sandu's car and immediately grabbed her man's arm. They are now four. Stand in front of the car in pairs. Mayra throws a smile at him kindly. But Mayra's smile did not get a proper reply. It even gets a cynical eye highlight from a woman he's sure has never met before.
