The atmosphere of the afternoon that was not too crowded enveloped the dining room that was only me and my son Mira. The sound of the television on and the sound of Mira playing alone with all the dolls of all shapes and sizes and other toys spilled in front of the television. While playing Mira watching her favorite cartoon series. Four o'clock in the afternoon is the time for me to make dinner. Sam asked for food that is a little pedan for tonight, usually Sam is not too fond of spicy food, but only if he was a lot of thought then Sam ate a spicy food.
I prepared some groceries, and I started cooking them. Time is ticking and it does not feel it has shown at four in the afternoon, it is time for Mira to take an afternoon shower. From the kitchen I screamed to have Mira take a bath and clean herself.
“Mira.. Take a shower, baby. If you have played again” Shout me while frying.
I continued cooking and preparing all the food on the table. The freshly cooked cuisine I arranged on the dining table, with the smoke still billowing as well as a very pleasant smell made me believe that my husband and sister-in-law would definitely consume all of this food.
At exactly five o'clock in the afternoon I finished cooking and it was time for me to clean myself up before my husband came. I looked around the house all neat and clean.I went into the bathroom and started cleaning myself.
My body feels fresh after cleaning myself, I headed to the tv room to accompany Mira to play for a while. I took out my phone and played my phone. As soon as I thought about Meli, I felt like I missed her a lot. Our current relationship can be said to be not good, as a friend it is natural that I want the best for my best friend and prevent him from doing stupid things that will make him regret in the future.
But it seems my actions were wrong. Now that Meli is away from me, I seem to be meddling too much in the affairs of my best friend's household. I wanted to go straight to her and hug her. Meli has been through a lot on her own and without me by her side. What kind of friend am I that can't support the decisions my best friend makes?
In the middle of my daydream, the sound of Sam's car horn surprised me. Sam has come home, I've calmed myself down for a moment so Sam doesn't worry about me.
“Mira..” Greet Sam while stretching out both hands.
As usual, Mira would immediately run to hug Sam when Sam came home from work, I approached the two of them and brought a bag and a suit on Sam's arm. Me and Mira went straight to the dinner table and Sam changed his clothes. Shortly after, Ken returned home. Ken came home faster than usual.
“Hai everything.” Sapa Ken's.
“Ken, you came home early.” My answer.
“Yes, no work piles up so I can go home earlier than usual.” Answer Ken.
“Alright, change your clothes and then we have dinner together” I replied.
Ken headed to his room and changed his clothes and went out to dinner together. This time our dinner returned as before, accompanied by the laughter that adorned tonight. The atmosphere like this is quite long for me, because Sam and Ken end up quite busy and we started to rarely have dinner together completely like this.
“Kak Rein, I want to ask. Meli is a best friend of brother right?” Ask Ken.
“Iya Ken, what's up?” I answered while chewing my food.
“Her husband is named Reno?” Ask again.
I stopped eating for a moment and looked at Ken, I never told him or said anything about Meli and her family, let alone about her husband, but Ken knew. I frowned and looked at Ken.
“Y.. Where did you know that? Which brother remembers brother never told me anything about Meli.” My answer.
“Emm. so here's my brother. Laura got one client, the client's problem was divorce and to get child custody. Laura's client's name was Meli's sister and her husband was named Reno. If my guess is that Laura's client is Rein”'s best friend replied Ken.
Like lightning in the day. I closed my eyes for a moment and let out a long nap. Meli told me nothing, Meli chose to live it alone because she knew that I did not want her to divorce Reno. I realized how selfish I was. Seeing that my best friend was in such distress, I did not support him at all. My chest is a little tight hearing that. Although it hurts, but I'm grateful that Ken told me about this news. At least I can contact Meli and ask her how she is and also support her current decision.
After dinner is over. Sam and Ken usually talk to each other in front of the television while keeping Mira playing alone. I cleaned the table and washed the dirty dishes and prepared the usual fruit and hot tea to accompany Sam and Ken. I went straight to the room to try to contact Meli. On my phone I searched Meli's name and contacted her.
“Why didn't Meli pick up my phone?” I cried while calling Meli the second time.
Tuout.. Tuuut...
“What's Rein?” Reply Meli.
“Hai Mel.. I just wanted to ask you how you are doing. How are you?” I asked a little awkwardly.
“I'm good. What's calling me tonight?” Ask Meli
“Ah.. There's nothing. Just a little worried, I didn't hear from you at the end of this.” My answer.
“Relax, I am still alive and not doing anything stupid like you think” Meli replied.
I smiled, I understood and understood why Meli answered me like that. It's only natural that he's upset and even disappointed in me, because I don't understand and don't understand.
“Mel, I'm sorry. I don't support your decision. I'm sorry for being such a selfish friend. I'm sorry, when you need a friend I was never there for you.” I talk on my phone with tears.
“Rein.. It's hard for me, and you're not next to me when I go through something heavy like this. You don't even support my decision. I don't know what to do.”Meli replied in a voice that shook like someone was crying.
My heart aches hearing Meli's Answer. Without me noticing I started crying, just the pain I was feeling right now, my heart broke to hear Meli crying like this. Her crying truly represented the pain she had endured all this time.
“Tomorrow can we meet Mel?” My toot.
“Alright, in a regular cafe eleven o'clock?” Ask Meli.
“Good Mel.” My answer.
We sat there and said nothing for a moment. I heard Meli still crying, and I cried.
“Mel, I miss my best friend.” Excruciate.
At that moment we both broke. Like a crying child. My crying is unbearable, so is Meli. we miss even if only limited to using a mobile phone and only hear the voices of each other.
Long enough we cried, I tried to control my crying so that it wouldn't be heard until it came out. I'm happy because we got our relationship back to what it used to be. For this time, I promise to support Meli's decision to divorce from Reno. Had enough. Meli is suffering too much living with Reno.
