NOT PERPETRATORS
Meet Nessa
When those lips almost touched my lips, Dimas' cell phone suddenly rang.
"Ah, fuck!" then he pulled his body back.
Dimas grabbed his phone.
"Hello!"
I couldn't hear clearly the voice of someone who was talking to Dimas. Because the volume is so small.
"Yes, okay!"
Then Dimas put his phone back.
"Who?"
Dimas exhaled a rough breath before answering me. "Missy."
"What's wrong with her?"
"She said she wanted to see me."
"Have you said anything to him yet?"
Dimas commented a faint smile on his face. "I'll say it, later."
I also took a rough breath. "I'm afraid you can't say it."
Dimas took my hand. "I'll say it today."
Then Dimas drove me home. I'll rest soon too.

Nightfall.
I'm putting Arka to sleep. As usual, Arka just massaged or rubbed his back, then he will fall asleep. I looked at Arka's face that looked so much like her father's. There was a bit of sadness when I looked at him.
I've officially parted ways with Bastian. I still didn't expect it a little. We are finally divorced. There are a lot of stories that are hard to erase. And I don't have to remove it. Isn't the past enough to keep?
Soon, Arka will be three years old. And that's next month. For the first time, Arka had to celebrate her birthday with her parents who were not whole anymore. He was a child, there was no need to tell him first about our relationship. Right now I need to focus on taking care of her and making her happy. I do not want Arka to be sad, as well as lack of affection.
Actually, when you think about it again. Bastian is a good man. It's just .. he can't ward off his past. I can't blame him. If only, Bastian could control himself not to touch the woman. Maybe, I can still take it.
What happened, happened. All roads are arranged by God. Starting next month. I'll find a job. If you think about it, I'm tired of being at home all the time.
"Ok, fix! I'll find a job!" muttered.
Ting! A message came in.
I repay. [It's otewe.]
[Otewe to where?]
[Otewe sleep.] I reply.
[Dream me, huh?]
Such is. Almost every night, he never forgot to chat with me first. Message to end our chat, always be given emot love. I put my phone back on the nightstand. I'll go to sleep soon too.
Ting! I thought Dimas had ended his chat with me. What's up again? I took the phone back from the nightstand. And how shocked I was when I opened the message.
[Good sleep. For the first time, you're officially not mine anymore.]
The message is from Bastian's mas number. I can hardly believe that.
[Good sleep too,] I said.

The next day, I went to the supermarket. There are a lot of promos there. I want to buy some necessities. I asked Fania to take me there with me.
Fania came to get me and Arka. We went to the supermarket. Actually, I can shop at the minimarket nearby. But I want to go there, as well as take a walk. After driving for half an hour, we arrived.
We entered the supermarket. I shop for some basic necessities and secondary necessities. Arka was very happy to be invited to go for a walk. Fortunately there was Fania who was so close to Arka. So when I shop, Fania takes care of her.
When I was busy choosing products that discounted big, suddenly someone approached me. He was also shopping in a stroller or trolli like me.
"Imania!"
"Lookie!"
"It just so happened that I met you here."
"How are you, Ness?" I try to stay friendly.
"not good. I just got betrayed by a man I considered my best friend!" he said with a sour face.
