RUSTING BOAT
Chapters. 16

I was silent, aware of my immortality. Mas Haris is still waiting for my silence. I don't know what to say to her.

" Astma, how are you quiet? by the way, dong..! " Mas Haris broke the silence between us.

" Mad, I love you." Finally came out also the sacred words. I know, I was wrong to make Mas Haris an outlet for my anger. However, my irritation towards Syafrie showing off her and her son's happiness made me incredibly upset. Does he not know, my lover Mas Haris is amazing unfortunately he is to me. So I guess our scores are the same. However, why does it feel like I'm the one who suffered a crushing defeat, huh.

" I know that you love me, even if you don't say it. But I'm glad you said it. Thank you, you made me happy tonight." said Mas Haris while blushing in embarrassment, he covered his face with both hands. It seems Mas Haris wanted to laugh but was arrested.

" So because of that, you're acting weird like this. Asthma.... Asthma. You are so funny. I think what caused you to behave like this, it turns out just because you want to say that sacred sentence, anyway. So it takes distance and time first, then you realize that you love me very much, hahahaha...! " Mas Haris laughed out loud - bahak.

I snorted in annoyance. Why does he find my love statement funny.

" Astma, don't sulk dong, dear. You know that? This is the most beautiful gift we have had together. Thank you, yes. Asthma.... hey..! You hear that, honey? "

" What? " my mouth was bored while circulating my gaze around there.

" Denger, right? "

" Hm.. " I was lazy to respond, returning my focus to the screen of my hape.

" Dag.g... dug...dag.g...dug.." he said.

" What..? " i don't understand.

" The sound of my heart, Asthma. Not very sensitive...! "

" Oh...! " i just mean ria, meant to tease her.

" Why oh, hell!" Mas Haris pura - pura angrily. " Astma, you don't understand yes, it's the sound of my heart beating that's so happy to hear a statement of love from you." Mas Haris patted - pat his chest.

I rolled my eyes. " Mommy, stop teasing me! " i put on a sulking mode. Honestly, the words of Kak Mansyah still ring in my ear. And it filled my head. My mind wandered, tracing the worst possibility that would occur due to the threat of words, said Kak Mansyah.

Mas Haris was happy, it was very clear from his face that was always smiling during our video call. He told me a lot of things that happened during the few days of my return. He also explained why he was always slow to call me. Mas Haris also apologized, for not being able to decide when he would follow me here. After a while we engaged in chat, we finally decided to stop the chat, because Mas Haris was also sleepy and he also needed a rest. I hung up the phone shortly after Mas Haris said his greetings and gave a goodnight kiss from afar.

I love Mas Haris. So it's okay even though Syafrie turned upside down showing off her happiness with the woman. I obviously don't get dizzy. So please do whatever it takes, I assure you, I am ready to receive all the delicious bait to start our quarrel and blow up my anger, O traitor Syafrie.

Hem, how's Syafrie doing. Although I tried to ignore him, but honestly there are dozens of questions that surround my mind such as, why is he in my mother's house, since when is he here. And why my family doesn't seem to hate him. What I clearly caught was the fact that my family all liked Syafrie.

Where, then, is his wife. Why isn't he here and accompanying Syafrie. Maybe they split up? The reason why they separated and why not his wife who took care of their son.

However, all those questions just stay in my brain, if I don't intend to ask anyone who knows.

However, one question that so intrigued me to immediately find out the answer was why was it so easy for Mr Mansyah to tell us to refer back? If it's true, Syafrie the fucking guy has separated from his wife, then me... ?? ?

No. They can't be separated. And my family..? There's no way they're doing it. Do they have the heart to ask me to be a regular mother to the son of Syafrie. Where do I.... I, who had just been in this village for a day, would not be able to go back to that Durjana man. Why do they have the heart, to make me a victim.

I sent my head to the wall hoping my drowsiness would be present.

I looked up and found his hand first. I immediately showered him with a sharp look.

" Do you want to come see me again.? " I'm mocking Syafrie. " You know, that you who are silent leave your son and come here and see me, look like the one who cheated on him behind his wife." I smiled cynically.

" Not really, he'd be happy if it was you" she said, cutting off her eye contact with me, and choosing to sit next to me.

I ignored him because there was not enough strength to fight him. " Why not sleep yet. Not sleepy? " the question I didn't ask.

Silent.

" Is he used to you like this? " let me break the silence created.

" you mean? " he changed his position facing me.

" You who can't be loyal, does he know..? "

" I'm loyal, Asthma. The proof is that I've been waiting for you for ten years. You're not pretending to forget, are you?" Syafrie's hand pulled down the collar of her jacket.

" How's it going? "

" who? " he asked me not to understand

" Wife... "

Back silence.

Curious, I glanced at the passing tail of my eyes. His gaze was sad as if he was staring at something in the distance.

The sound of the wind rustling blew the cold air that made the whole house pull tightly to their blankets. The sound of coughing is sometimes heard from one of the residents of the house.

Syafrie turned to the side, looking at me. "Asma, do you think... Can we still reunite together? " he asked doubtfully

I answered simultaneously, "no! " my answer is quick.

" reason? "

" You already know, Syafrie." I replied sharply.

" Asthma, why don't we try it first? "

" Syafrie, let's be happy. Happy not to be back together. You know, my hatred for you is deep. Very deep down to the joints and cells in my blood. Seeing you just made me burn to the ground. " Look at how sadistic my mouth is to remove the poison. I smiled realizing how my words were so sharp that they plunged into Syafrie's heart.

However, Syafrie only smiled. Half-dead I refrained from slapping his mouth. " Don't forget, baby. Inside someone's body flows the blood of both of us. Your blood and mine. So don't hate me so much..! " said Syafrie looked at me fixedly.

Thank you to Syafrie for making me nauseous.
