My Perfect Stranger's
Little Envy

Today is Saturday, Friska is being escorted back by her husband to Rivan's cafe, where she works. Recalling his promise to stay at the in-laws' house, he decided to go home early. Of course after saying goodbye to Rivan and also his other friends.

Before returning home, he decided to buy some kitchen needs that had been thinned in a supermarket located not far from the cafe. Upon arrival there, Friska immediately walked and looked for a dish soap rack. Looking at various brands and sizes there, after taking the soap he used to wear, he turned to the shelf to buy sugar and flour, and then he turned to the shelf to buy sugar and flour, he deliberately bought it because he intended to make a snack that would be a hand for the in-laws

"Dish soap, shampoo, flour, sugar, butter, chocolate powder, egg, instant noodles. What else, huh?" murmured Friska while passing the goods in her shopping cart, and remembered what else she had to buy

"Ah yes snack. It seems like it's just less" he said slowly and then walked towards the snack rack and snacks. While passing through the baby milk rack, he saw a woman who was having trouble taking the milk box that was located at the bottom, because the woman is carrying her baby on the chest using a baby carrier so that it makes it difficult for her to squat

It did not take long, the young mother was surprised when the milk box she was about to take, was outstretched before her. When he lifted his head, he found Friska's sweet smiling face

"This, Ma'am. I see you have trouble taking it because you are holding this cute baby" Friska said with a big smile towards the baby girl in her mother's arms

"Thank you so much for helping me" the woman replied enthusiastically as well as grateful for having met a good person like the young woman in front of her at this time.

"same. Anything else you want to buy, ma'am? let me be with you." Friska bargained for feeling sorry for seeing that woman

"actually there are still some things I want to buy. But I'm afraid to trouble you"

"It's okay, Ma'am. Besides my groceries are not much, I just buy this" said Friska while lifting her shopping cart

"Aren't I really bothering you?"

"of course. Come on!"

After they finished shopping, they went to the cashier to pay for groceries. The woman then invited Friska to go to the coffee shop located right next to the super market.

"No need, Ma'am. No need to bother to treat me, I sincerely help you"

"Come on, I not only want to treat you, I want to talk to you. My husband hasn't come back yet, please accompany me?" the woman still forced to treat Friska, because she felt bad to have inconvenienced the girl

After weighing up the doubt, Friska finally agreed. Now they are in the typical coffe shop of the young man.

"God! we haven't even met" said the hysterical young mother. Friska even chuckled at the woman's expression, but even so she still looked beautiful with her cute expression.

Speaking of faces, Friska was like a stranger to the beautiful face of the woman, she was like familiar with the direction of the face of someone who was in front of her. But he never found a clue about who had a face similar to that woman

"What's your name?" ask the young mother

"Friska, Ma'am. Whose name is mbak? "

"My name is Dinda"

"What's the name of this cute baby? and how old is he?" friska asked as she touched the tiny finger

"Hi aunty, my name is Clara. I'm only 8 months old" Dinda said, mimicking a child's voice as if Clara had answered

"Look, she's so happy to be said to be beautiful" Dinda chuckled at her baby's behavior

"Oh, how old are you, Fris? it seems like you are younger than me" asked Dinda

"I'm 22 years old, Ma'am"

"Well, you're younger than me. I'm 25 years old" Friska was so happy to talk to Dinda, because she was so expressive and friendly.

Soon a handsome man came to Dinda and Friska's table

"Sorry baby, I've been leaving you for so long" the man said when he arrived near the table, he approached and kissed his wife on the forehead, and was visibly guilty on his handsome face

"It's okay, Mom. I'm lucky to have met such a good person today" Dinda replied as she looked at Friska. That handsome man is her husband.

"Good guy?" dinda's husband looks confused looking at the wife and the foreign woman in front of him

"Mas, this is Friska. She was the one who helped me when I was shopping, because she saw me having trouble picking things up with Clara in my arms. And Friska, this is my husband, Mas Reyhan" Dinda introduced the two men

"Thank God, thank you so much Friska you helped my wife. I was forced to leave because of a sudden affair. It's a good thing he met you" Reyhan said sincerely. He was relieved when he found out that someone was helping his wife in times of distress

Friska is very salute to this married couple, they look very romantic and also love each other very much

Dinda is very lucky to have a husband who loves her. Just look at that sorry look on his face, and also how he treated Mbak Dinda. He must have loved Dinda very much. Very different from....

Friska shook her head slowly not wanting to continue her inner voice. Although he felt a hint of envy, yet he quickly brushed it off. Friska was aware that her marriage was different from the one Dinda had, so she couldn't possibly compare her life with Dinda's. Obviously Dinda was happier than she was, because the woman married the man who loved her so much

"Same with Reyhan. Though I sincerely help your wife, but she even paid it by way of treating me." joked Friska who invited the piety of the couple. After that, Reyhan was immediately busy with the child who had now switched positions to his carrier. Meanwhile, Friska and Dinda are still talking

When it feels like it has been here long enough, Friska said goodbye to go home soon

"Mas, Ma'am, I have to go home now. Thanks for the deal."

"Thank you too, Friska. It's good to know you" Dinda replied. He immediately approached and hugged Friska, because maybe after this he would not meet again with Friska, considering their meeting was just an accident.

"Be careful, Fris. Nice to know you" now Reyhan's turn to speak

"Yes, Mas"

"Aunty came home first huh, beautiful. May you grow up quickly and grow into a girl who is more beautiful" said Friska while kissing the left cheek of baby Clara in Dinda's sling. The baby's tiny hands also touched Friska's face, creating a feeling of calm especially when the baby's distinctive fragrance filled his sense of smell

After saying goodbye, Friska left the harmonious little family. He hopes that one day he can feel happiness like Dinda. Maybe not with Ardigo, but he is sure he will get someone who loves him very much and of course can accept his circumstances.

To be continue.
