Poison of Love Arsenio
The Widower's New Lover

Arsenio ran a clean and smooth rehearsal session that night. Winona also arrived late. The woman always looks beautiful, graceful and charming. All pairs of eyes were instantly fixed on him, when he arrived there.

However, another case with Arsenio who prefers to dwell with a mobile phone whenever there is an opportunity.

“Alright, everything is ready, yes. I hope you keep the steps in mind from the beginning of the procession to the end,” Chand's message with a fixed view to Arsenio and Winona alternately. The two lovebirds were standing at a distance apart.

“How about our parents?” winona asked as Chand was about to pass from there.

“It's easy, Win. Parents just need to follow the event. They will be equipped with an earpiece for tomorrow,” replied Chand calmly.

“Chand,” call Winona again. Hurriedly he approached Chand who was looking at him. “Sorry that Ghea is still on the invite list. It's all because .. mama papaku ..”

“Already. It's okay,” cut Chand. “We've officially parted ways. There should be no problem if one day we meet again accidentally. Divorce doesn't mean we have to be enemies" he said.

“Do you already have a replacement, Chand?” winona asked while smiling seductively.

“No. Um. I mean not yet. Just pray,” sahut Chand as he mengawed his smile with a blush look. At first glance, the shadow of Binar is present in the mind of the thirty-year-old widower.

“If you already have a partner, don't hide. Just bring him here. I invite him to the party tomorrow,” firmly Winona.

“Yes for mercy.” Chand laughed while scratching his head. “I'll tell him. Hopefully he'll be ready, because he's a little shy, Win,”.

“Wait for the arrival of the two of you tomorrow,” message Winona while patting Chand's arm slowly before passing from the front of the man.

While Chand only responded with a slow slack. He stepped out of the ballroom and into the corner of the park. While from a distance, Arsenio observed her best friend who was sitting half-bending while playing a mobile phone. The last time he met Chand was when his best friend caught him coming out of the hotel with Ghea. The meeting ended with a scene of a gunfight in the parking lot.

Arsenio took a slow breath. He was well aware that his actions were inappropriate. However, at that time ego and prestige is much higher than anything. In a way, the events that happened to him some time ago are enough to be a reminder for him to be much better. Unknowingly, Arsenio stepped towards the park to approach Chand.

A little longer their distance, when the sound of the melodious voice of a woman called her name, “Sen, let's go home.” Arsenio turned her head and found Winona half-running towards him. “Mama wants to chat with you at her house. Now,” invite Winona.

“Tell Aunt Yohana that I'm still busy. Tomorrow morning I come,” reject Arsenio with his indifferent attitude. He turned his back just like that leaving Winona who was just standing glued with a disappointed look. Arsenio remained on his main goal of approaching Chand.

“How are you, Sen! Tomorrow ‘kan already the peak event. Precisely my mama wants to talk about the event tomorrow,” urged Winona not despair.

“Gosh.” Arsenio snorted in annoyance. He turned himself back to his lover. “Oke, okay. I'm going over there. You go home first. Later I set out,” he said then left Winona just like that to approach Chand.

Sayup-sayup, Arsenio caught the heavy voice of Chand chatting with someone on the phone. He stood a few steps behind his friend. Arsenio did not want to bother Chand, at least until the man ended his conversation.

“I want you to accompany me tomorrow, Mal.”

“Hust! You must come! I'll pick you up at seven. I don't want to hear rejection" said Chand.

“Do not think about the dress problem. Didn't I buy you some? Just pick one of them" the man said again.

“Good. Good night, Nirmala. Happy resting. Do not sleep too late, later quickly wrinkles,” closed Chand accompanied by a slow laugh. He disconnected his phone and hung up for a moment.

“It turns out you're the same as me, Chand. Just divorced, already got in exchange,” murmured Arsenio slowly. He then patted Chand on the shoulder. "Who? New boyfriend?"

Slightly surprised, Chand turned his head before shifting his body to give Arsenio a seat. “Do not misunderstand. We are just close friends,” the rebuttal.

“No term close friend between male and female, Chand. You should know more about it,” reply Arsenio with his relaxed style. Ungainly, he leaned back on the park bench, while taking out a pack of cigarettes. “Mau?” bargained for.

Chand nodded, then picked up a stick after Arsenio. After that, the Dutch man reached into an automatic match in his pants pocket and turned it on. He also gave the thing to Chand. Both men are beautiful, now enjoy the white smoke they let out slowly from their noses and mouths. “Beautiful night. Very bright,” said Arsenio while looking up. The light brown eyes belonging to the man were glaring through the dark expanse of sky. Suddenly he remembered the time with Binar, spending the afternoon together near the waterfall.

“What?” Chand asked back.

“Together with someone who is the same for many years,” replied Arsenio softly.

Unexpectedly, Chand was even crushed. “Don't ask me, Sen. My household was a mess,” sahut Chand, making Arsenio stunned for a while.

“Ask your parents. They still seem to be crazy about each other at an age that is not young anymore,” continued Chand later.

“I was lazy to ask mama, since she did not approve of my feelings towards Binar,” said Arsenio slowly while leaning forward, with both elbows resting on the knees. He also holds his head.

“You still hope for that little girl, Sen?” ask Chand astonishment.

“To be honest, yes. I still wish she had shown up and given me confidence that a love story like the fairy tale does exist. Love at first sight.” Arsenio laughed softly, then shook her head. “I can't imagine living with a woman I don't love,”.

“The marriage blessing is not the same as the courtship relationship, Sen. That's what you should know. In marriage, that love will arise slowly over time, with a note, you are with the right person,” said Chand.

"When you have married a woman, then what you will feel is no longer a feeling of love that is only limited to the surface. There is more to it than that. How beautiful your partner is, will not be something meaningful anymore. You will see him more often in his worst appearance, with all his annoying attitude and nature. That's when that special feeling came out, the real love. Circumstances where you can accept every shortcoming from your partner, because if you talk about the advantages .. it is definitely what is sought from each partner," said Chand. Life without a father since childhood, makes him able to think much more mature and also full of responsibility.

“How do you know that he is the right person or not?” ask Arsenio again.

“For me there is no exact word. For the first thing I do is I have to convince myself that I am worthy of him. Ask your heart about it, because only you can answer it. Ever since my household was destroyed, I couldn't think of such things. The Ghea I used to think was the right person, turned out .…” Chand looked away and did not continue his sentence.

Arsenio thought hard again. The man next to her had already hurt her so badly. However, Chand still acted as if there was nothing between the two of them. “Is this better you, Chand?” chirps Arsenio suddenly.

“What?” Chand frowned in astonishment.

“What is your attitude always as good and warm as this?” he looked at the man again.

“I can't judge myself. It feels too excessive. I just try to do my best every time. One is to make peace with the past, though Ghea becomes an exception. I don't know why I still can't be friendly with him. That's what I regret,” replied Chand in response to Arsenio's question.

“Do not force yourself.” Arsenio patted Chand's shoulder slowly, then stood up. “My advice, make Ghea jealous by bringing my partner to my engagement tomorrow,”.

“That's what I'm going to do,” Chand smiles broadly, "but, I myself am not sure if Ghea would be jealous of me if she was there ...." Chand turned to Arsenio who was standing. "That's it," he said again.

Arsenio went silent for a moment. He knew that Ghea was indeed much more interested in him. “Oh yes. Who are you coming to my party with? Is that girl named Nirmala you called just now?” tanya Arsenio tried to get rid of the bad taste in her heart.

“Yes, you are right. Tomorrow I will introduce Nirmala to you,” replied Chand with sumringah.

“I can’t wait,” said Arsenio while chuckling.

“I go first. My future-in-law was waiting to talk,” said goodbye, then walked away from Chand who still remained pensive in his place. While Arsenio also walked towards the car with a mindless mind.
