MY SWEETIE BOYFRIEND'S
ENVIED

"How are you?" ask Dion.

"As you can see, I'm fine" replied Nilam.

The waiter brought food. Nilam had told the waiter of the restaurant to have his food order placed on Dion's table.

"We eat first!" bring Dion.

Both eat well. Dion was already very hungry. The waiter returned with a package of food that the man ordered for his wife.

"Who's that for?" ask Nilam.

"For my wife. He's being treated" Dion replied.

Nilam surprised, "Really?"

Dion nodded, "Dila fell out of the bathroom, and thank God she's fine."

"Can I go see him?" ask Nilam.

"Of course, you've never met Reyhan's mother, have you?"

Nilam frowned. What does her mother Reyhan and Dion's wife have in common? Is it possible that Dion's wife was taken care of by Reyhan's mother? Dion smilingly looked at the question mark expression on his friend's face.

"Ryhan's mother, Reyhan, is my wife" Dion said.

"What?!" Nilam.

Dion laughed, "It's usual to be surprised."

Nilam groaned in disbelief, "Your female type hasn't changed apparently."

"We're going straight to the hospital" Dion said.

Nilam nodded, then the two left the restaurant after paying the food bill. Dion and Nilam walked to the hospital; the distance to the restaurant was very close.

"How much is your son?" ask Dion.

"New one," answered Nilam, "if you?"

"If I were two. One Reyhan, and another Delilah my biological daughter with Dila."

It turns out Dion had a son from his mother Reyhan.

Dila turned her head when the door of her nursery was opened. She smiled when she saw her husband coming in, but her eyebrows fused when a woman came in with him.

"Thank you, Sister. I've taken care of my wife" said Dion.

"It's my duty, sir," the nurse replied, then left.

Dion put the food on the table, then landed a kiss on his wife's forehead. Nilam noticed Dila's pretty face though, wrinkles could not be hidden.

Mama Reyhan's youth must have been very beautiful. Old is still very interesting.

"Darling, I'd like to introduce you to our son's ex-lover, Reyhan. He's Nilam, our college friend," Dion said.

Dila smiled, "Hello."

"Hi, I'm Nilam." Really Nilam does not know what to call Dila. If you call it names, it's not appropriate. Even if called with aunt, status, is the wife of his friend.

"Call me Aunty" said Dila, who understood Nilam's discomfort.

"Yes, Tan."

"You're Reyhan's ex-girlfriend apparently," said Dila.

"Ah, it's just monkey love, Tan. When I was in college," Nilam said. "How are things, Auntie? Is it over?"

"Lumayan. Just a little dizzy."

The conversation continues with Nilam recounting his past with Reyhan, Diki, and Dion. They went to college until marriage.

"Where have you been living all this time?" ask Dion while feeding Dila food.

"In the city of Bali, and I just returned to Jakarta because of work," replied Nilam.

"So it seems" Dila replied, and at once the woman coughed.

Rushing Dion gave Dila a drink, then rubbed his wife's back. Dila's lips were smeared with water, also she wiped with a tissue.

"If you eat, don't talk. Choking is, right?" said Dion.

Dion's attention to his wife.

"Dion, Auntie, I'm going home. It's been night too" Nilam said.

"Let me drive forward" said Dion.

"Be careful on the road, Nilam" said Dila.

Dion opened the door for his friend. "Thank you for taking the time to visit my wife, Nile."

Dion reentered, and astonished Dila. "Said to take Nilam forward."

"I've dropped him off."

"Hurry home?" ask Dila.

"I'm just dropping by at the outpatient door."

Dila patted her on the forehead, "I thought you'd take her out of the hospital."

"Make what? He is already big, and can walk on his own. You haven't finished eating either" Dion said.

My husband is too bucolic. Dila put her head on the pillow. His eyes were back closed. The influence of medicine is still felt.

"Look off to sleep, honey. Food not to be spent?"

"I'm full, and I'm going to sleep" said Dila.

Dion cleaned up the food waste, then went up on the patient's bed. It is not legal for Dion to sleep without hugging his beloved wife.

"Good night, my darling" said Dion, peeping Dila's cheek.

On the other hand Nilam drove a car while remembering Dion's treatment of Dila. In her heart she wanted to be treated so by her husband.

"When can I be treated romantically like that. My married life is just a fight" Nilam murmured. "That's lucky Aunt Dila. Yes, Dion is very kind, and also gentle. If only I'd been fooled by a guy like him."

...****************...

"Everything's fine. There's nothing to worry about" the doctor said.

"So I can go home, Doc?" ask Dila.

The female doctor with glasses perched on her nose nodded, "Yes."

"Thank God. Thank you, Doc," said Dion.

"Let Anna help you with your stuff."

"May too" he said.

Finished driving the doctor to the door, Dion approached his best friend Reyhan. The man nudged Rey's arm while whispering with his eyes glancing at Anna.

"Rey," whispered Dion, "your ex was here last night."

"What, anyway? Ex-who" Reyhan said in a whisper.

Diki sharpened his hearing device. Trying to steal the whispers between the two friends.

"Your ex-boyfriend from college. Patchouli, the time you forgot" said Dion.

Reyhan tries to remember his ex-girlfriend. For Reyhan, no woman is a true lover. The women he was in a relationship with were just a fad.

"Nilam's? Who, huh?" muttered Reyhan quietly.

"You mean Nilam Kandi?" tanya Diki managed to bring attention. "Nilam, right, Reyhan's ex-boyfriend used to."

"What?" sahut Anna's.

Reyhan and Dion glared at Diki who could not keep his mouth. Maya is also shocked, because she knows who Nilam Kandi is.

"Every night, a woman named Nilam came to see Mama," said Dila.

Anna looked at Maya. "Nilam's a pretty guy, May?"

Maya looked towards the three men who gestured to say no. Anna looks at Maya to know everything.

"If women must be beautiful" answered Maya.

"Tonight you slept outside, Rey," Anna said.

"Why me?" reyhan Protest. "It's all because of Dion."

"Honey, you also sleep outside the room," continued Dila.

"You too, Diki. You all can't keep your mouth shut" Maya added.

"Can't be," protested the three.

The three friendly men blamed each other. Reyhan hits Diki on the head, while Diki does not accept, and retorts Reyhan. Dion was the target of both, and so the three struggled.

"Look, the age is four heads, they remain like children" Dila said.

"Let it go, Ma" Anna said, capturing the moment in a video, and in a photo.

Seriate.
