My wrist was held tightly. Every time I asked to be released, Mas Han shook his head.
"Wait for my car to come."
"Yes, we wait, but let go of my hand first," the answer was the same, shaking.
"You're embarrassing Han," Mas Juna's expression began to look careless.
"I understand your love for Rumi. But you must also realize that Rumi is not an object that you can treat at will," there is a flash of anger in Mas Juna's eyes.
"What is your business?! It's between me and Rumi."
Come on, don't embarrass me don't fight here. You two are grown up...
I pleaded with Mas Juna without speaking, just looking at him with a fond look, do not serve this childish man.
"Damn it!!!" Mas Juna twisted his body and exhaled his exasperated breath.
"It seems I have to put a clear boundary between you and Rumi," let alone this. I saw Mas Han's face flushed red.
"Listen Jun, Rumi is mine. His body, his heart is only mine. We have experienced the pleasure of the world together. You can hope but don't think you'll win my lady!!!"
I was surprised, what was he talking about? I stomped my hand hard until it came off.
"What do you mean, mas?" irritatingly.
"Then I'll also make boundaries for you, ma'am. Look, you're my ex-husband. I have the right to decide my life ahead. Why are you so confident you can get me again!!"
I pulled out Mas Juna's hand, "we're home!"
"Rom! Rum.forgive me!" yell Mas Han.
I walked half-run. Mas Juna followed my steps.
"Why is the parking lot so far away anyway" I murmured.
"Rome...Rum," Mas Juna grabbed my hand, "stop first."
Don't cry.don't cry, don't stop my tears from dripping too. That burly hand touched my cheek and wiped my tears. I took a few steps back.
"I'm ashamed" I lowered my head and wiped my wet cheeks with the back of my hand.
From this far enough distance, I could see Mas Han still watching us.
"Don't be ashamed, we've been much closer than this."
Mas Juna touched my chin, I looked up. Those eyes were there looking at me in the shade, that smile warmed my heart. The smile on her lips made me smile
"Well, so dong, now we're home."
I nodded, my annoyance slightly lessened. Mas Juna never changed, he was always kind and understanding. He became the right person to understand and accompany me in a situation like never before.

Juna POVs
I have trouble sleeping tonight. After delivering Rumi to her former-in-law's house, her face was always imagined. I can't wait to arrive tomorrow.
My whole life of regret is only one. I was late in expressing my love to Rumi. When I found out that my best friend loved the same woman, I felt better that I gave up.
Nehan has better economic conditions than me, he can certainly make the woman I love happy. Finally I chose to retreat regularly to let Rumi belong to Nehan.
But it turns out I was wrong. Happiness is not always about wealth. Rumi's life was heavy I heard from some people's stories. Including me watching myself if I have to meet Nehan.
Now I won't budge anymore. I will fight for my love. I want to make Rumi the happiest woman on earth. Pay for all the grief he's been through for years because of my stupidity.
This morning I picked a semi-formal dress that fit me. A few pairs of clothes lying undisturbed on the bed. After feeling fit and confident, I set off for Nehan's parents' house where Rumi was staying.
His father Nehan welcomed me kindly as well as Rumi. If I'm not mistaken, Rumi's happy to see me. Different from my own friend.
Starting from me coming, eating breakfast until he was leaving, he kept making plays that I thought were not funny at all.
Maybe jealousy can make people crazy. But Nehan is not. When I got to the hospital, the time of seeing Nehan and Rumi strengthening each other made my heart hot. But as hard as I can try to hold back. I don't want to make a scene of embarrassment.
The time to go home is the same. It sucks his attitude. He was like licking again the spit that he threw out himself.
"Still angry?" I asked, looking at Rumi's face that was still pouting.
"He's the most annoying guy you know, mas. I wonder how I fell in love with him."
All right, tell me everything Rum. I'll be a good listener.
"The most inconsistent man I've ever known. Can't keep promises, plan and can't resist temptation."
"Other times I won't want another room with a grown man but the boy's soul, embarrassing."
You know Rum, when you tell Nehan so heartily and fiery like this there is pain here, in this heart. But I will cover my pain well. I just have to wait for you to release my best friend patiently.
"It's over, Rum?"
"Hem," Rumi replied displaying a smile that I always miss.
"If you'd vent, just tell me, I'd listen with pleasure."
"Actually I'm ashamed, I'm no longer a big new kid who knows love. But now I'm really upset, mas. I'm sorry ya."
I can do anything but nod Rum. I'll try to understand.
"Are you sure you don't want to go back to Han again, Rum?"
"Related, mas. I'm afraid of being lied to again."
"Rum, it's mom why look left right while being so nervous?"
Approaching the house, I saw Miss Narmi, Rumi's mother standing in front of the house looking right left while pinching the bottom of her robe.
"Yes, why me?"
When she saw us coming, Ms. Narmi approached the car.
"Rome..."
He greeted us before we even got out of the car. With a pale face from nervousness she called out to Rumi.
"Mother why?"
"Rum, Ken Rum..."
"Why Ken, Mom?"
Rumi ran into the house. I followed him from behind. While walking I asked Ms. Narmi what was going on.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"Mom don't know, suddenly Ken was hot, even had a convulsion."
"We're taking her to the hospital now, ma'am."
I rushed into the house. Finding the mbok. Fortunately, the old woman had everything ready.
"Are you ready to go?"
"It's den, how is this den..."
Ken's already in Rumi's arms. She's a tough woman, I know how scared she is but she doesn't cry at all.
"I'm in the car, mas."
I'm nodding. I asked Nah to bring the bag into the car and asked mom to stay home. I ran ahead of Rumi to the car.
I opened the front door. After Rumi sat down I put the seat belt together for security.
"Nearby hospital, Rum?"
Rumi nodded, "i'll show you the way."
Kupacu car is fast. Several times I glanced at the little baby in her mother's arms to make sure she was okay.
"Are you okay Rum?"
"I Will be fine, my. If we get to the hospital soon."
Arriving at the hospital, Rumi quickly removed the seat belt and opened the car door without waiting for me. I left Rumi to park the car and ran to the IGD.
Rumi stood pecking with one hand on her chest and the other on her chin. For a moment I doubted what to do. But I removed all doubts and stood right next to the woman I loved. Whether consciously or not Rumi rested her head on my chest.
"Ken's sister is fine mom's dad, but Ken's sister has to be hospitalized for observation yes" the doctor advised us
Rumi nodded without a word. After the doctor left us. Rumi's body almost fell down.
"Rome..."
I tried to hold her back, but from behind there was another hand that was also trying to hold Rumi's body, and from her voice I knew who it was...
