Princess Reunion Cost
Sri's Advice to Butet

"Where do you feel now, Sri?" Butet asked, as he was about to say goodbye to Sri.

Sri, who walked beside Butet, just smiled and looked at her best friend.

"Thank God, Tet." Reply Sri.

"Where's alhamdulillah cake? Pinch it.." Pinta Butet's.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah. How else, Tet.. Tet.. " Sri shook her head while looking at Butet closely.

"Who are you all the same?" Ask Butet again.

"God willing, I'm ready." Reply Sri.

Butet stopped his footsteps right in front of his car, then he looked at Sri closely.

"If I could be honest, Sri... I'm sure, bang God just became a victim of him. Maybe in seeing the female, the God bang there is her paok paok. So take advantage of him" Butet said, half-whispering. He was afraid that his words were heard by the God who had just appeared together with Moan, on the porch of Sri's house.

Sri looked at the God who was conversing with Moan. Then he looked back at Butet carefully.

"Hopefully, Tet," Sri said.

"Kalok ya.. This tarok lah, for example.. kalok bang God just became a victim, what do you do Grazia?" Ask Butet, curious.

Sri was silent for a moment. Then he seemed to think hard.

"For example?" Ask Sri.

"Yeahaaaa.." Butet looked impatiently waiting for an answer from Sri.

"Hmmmm," Sri seemed to be still thinking.

"Over a pound you think! What are you doing to him? You sue. Or are you a jambak?" Urge Butet.

"I told you, I'm going to take God's mas again." Reply Sri.

"Gee! This kid is! I mean, what consequences do you want to cast on that female!" Butet looks anxious with Sri who was impressed very slow in thinking.

"I get it, Tet. But I want to hand it over to God. He was the victim. It's up to the gods." Reply Sri.

"But you're the same kid you're a victim! Long ago kind of like you, Sri. Same cake bang God!" Butet looks increasingly anxious.

Sri looked at Butet closely. Then he smiled thinly.

"Tet, I'm the legal wife of God. The first and most entitled wife of God. Surely I'll take God's mas again from him."

"Trus?" Butet's getting impatient.

"To grab her? Wh-wh-what for? I don't need to dirty my heart and hands for a lowly woman like her. My pride is too high for that."

Butet was silent to Sri's words.

"Tet, all I can do is forgive the past. Cleanse your mind and heart, then run the household from scratch again. Grazia's problem, let God decide. Whether he sues legally or what he does, it's up to him to solve the problem." Sri Terang.

Butet continued to look at Sri's face which looked so legowo. Butet shook his head in disbelief.

"You were too good, Sri" Butet said.

Sri chuckled and held onto both Butet's shoulders.

"Tet, there is no loss of patience. There is no loss in being forgiving and sincere. What matters to me is my mental state. Holding grudges and heartache only affected my heart and mind. So, what for? Dissolving also saves the problem, will only cause new problems. I'm tired of always being. I better go through my days until death to pick me up with a sincere and happy feeling. That way, the lucky ones are Ardi, Tet."

Butet was silent. He knows very well the nature of Sri who is always sincere in dealing with whatever happens in his life. Precisely Butet was hit with the speech of Sri who was so sincere. He felt he had failed to become a man who always believed in whatever God's plan. He also felt that he failed to become a human being who has a sincere heart and tries to clean from negative things that pollute the mind and heart, so that his own children became victims of his problems with Moan.

"Now, I'm asking you, Tet. You can find the facts about your friends' problems in a smart way. Then, why don't you try to find the facts of your problem? I think yo, Tet... I'm sorry about this earlier.."

"We're adults, Tet. We can see the honesty and dishonesty of the eyes of our interlocutors, right?" Ask Sri.

"Yes" Sahut Butet.

"Well, I think bang Moan is honest, Tet."

Butet frowned and looked at Sri closely.

"I don't want to defend bang Moan, Tet. There's no benefit to me. Because you're my best friend, Tet. But, if I may be honest, from our first meeting at the house of bang Rozi, the time of bang Moan at the trial and bringing his friend, I can see in the eyes of bang Moan, I can see in the eyes of bang Moan, if he is honest and desperate. Hence the commotion ended, as he felt there was no chance. Just try to calm your heart first, Tet. Think Moana psychology. He'll be the victim if his mom and dad keep making a fuss in front of him."

What Sri said is very real about what is happening with Moana right now. Now Butet and Moan separated from the residence, if met always quarrel with a tone so high, to make Moana feel disturbed and sad. The way Sri who still looks okay with the Gods in front of Ardi, can exemplify Butet, how to keep the feelings of children in their growth and development. Ardi still looks happy while being with his father and his mother. But inversely proportional to Moana who now looks moody.

Butet dropped his gaze, he really felt embarrassed by his attitude all along with Moana. The regret continued to disturb his mind that began to be able to think, if what he did all this time was a big mistake.

"So how, Tet? Do you want to find out the truth too?" Ask Sri.

Butet looked at Sri closely, then he smiled thinly and then looked at Moan who was saying goodbye to God.

"Tet, I beg you, give Moan a chance. Men are great con men, Tet. But, if it's honest, that's what it's all about."

Butet looked back at Sri closely.

"Tet, let's create a familiar and familial atmosphere like before. My dream right now is just one, Tet."

"What?" Ask Butet.

"I want everyone to find their bright spot. Everything is fine, you and I get along with each other. Other friends are also avoided from the problems that lead to divorce. I just want us to regroup like we used to. At the cafe Moan, laughing together, funny stories, seeing the children running to and fro happily. Or. we travel together, enjoy the natural scenery."

"Tet, to be honest, I miss those days. We all have no blood relation, even a drop. But it feels more than that. You are all family to me. The first family I knew when I set foot in Jakarta. I love all of you. I don't want to see each one of us stutter. If we can unite, if we can grow old together, why not, Tet?" Connect Sri.

Butet speaks a thousand languages.

"Tet, I know you're smart. I also believe that you and Moan can solve this problem, without divorce. I support you, Tet, if Moan is guilty. But he also deserves a second chance. Life is just a minute, Tet. From the time we were born, to this day, it didn't feel so fast anyway?"

"Tet, twenty years down the line, we're all old. There is nothing we can be proud of ourselves. We're wrinkled, we're not powered anymore. What we can be proud of is, living successfully and getting along. Only then can we set an example for our children as well as those around us, Tet." Connect Sri.

Butet remained silent in front of Sri. Both of his eyes seemed to hold back the tears that were about to break into his defenses.

"Sorry yo, Tet. I'm not patronizing you. I'm just saying what's on my mind. I'm doing this the same reason you are, too, Tet. Because you love me, you help me solve problems by looking for facts. I can't help much. This is all I can do for you, Tet. If for example you need my help, I'm willing, Tet. Let's look for facts too." Sri tried to convince Butet.

"Udah ready? Let's go home, we've got Moana waiting for us" said Moan, who was walking towards Butet and Sri.

"Np.. Sri lank.. Make up yes, we should talk again, " Butet said, smiling and hugging Sri tightly.

"Come, Tet. Bang Moan's.. Be careful on the road" Sri said.

"Ready Sri.." Sahut Moan, smiling at his wife's friend.

"Thank you Sri, bang Dewa" Butet said, before he got into his car.

"Together, Tet, Moan. Be careful on the road," God said, waving his hand.

Now Sri and Dewa are standing on the porch of their house. Staring at Butet and Moan's departure and letting go of the two of them with a smile. After Butet and Moan left their yard, the god went to the gate of his house and closed the gate. After that he went back to Sri who was still standing on the porch of the house.

The god looked at Sri carefully, then he smiled at his wife. With hesitation, Sri also returned the smile of the Gods and also the sincere gaze of the Gods.

"Let's get started. Tonight, I'm going there to get Kimberly's hair" God said.

Sri nodded in agreement. Then he let out a long sigh and gently rubbed the arms of the Gods.

"Thank you, mas. May there be a bright spot in our problems" Sri said.

"Aamiin's." God with such great hope.
