RUSTING BOAT
Chapters. 57

I don't answer Syafrie anymore. Without saying thank you I passed from before Syafrie.

" Remember Asthma, heart - heart. And don't be too tired. Remember, you're pregnant." Ah....I think I want to quickly - quickly fly away from my mother's house so as not to hear the sound of 'duck' Syafrie.

There was doubt on Saniah's face when I put Syafrie's car keys in Syafrie's car keys.

" Can you really bring a car? "

I'm slitting my shoulders. " I am an independent woman. Don't drive a car, make money to eat alone, I can. "

And so we ended up laughing together. Saniah my best friend has returned to be my best friend. Just like that, without any stale words, we just made up.

Last night, I sent him a message. I ask for help accompanied by looking for baby clothes in Bontang. And she happily escorted and accompanied me wherever I wanted.

And here we both got stranded. After being tired and satisfied around, a cafe located on the sea side of Bontang Koala became our choice.

I sipped the avocado juice I ordered earlier, while waiting for the meat coto order I ordered. It felt so tired after we went in and out of some baby clothing stores just to find one that suits my taste.

" Does Syafrie mind if you use the car? " ask Saniah.

" Want to mind? How dare he? I fisted his neck, just nyahok."

Saniah chuckled until his tears fell.

" Kualat, you're Asma. Hate that, but it's also you."

I chuckled at her words.

" How not to dam up. He's making him take sleeping pills."

" Hahaha, sleeping pills but you're good too. That's why I'm lying."

" Commission.. najaiss.... I hate the same Syafrie to the burrow. If I had been conscious back then, I would have wanted to be with him. "

" Istighfar, Asthma. Noted same angel, new nyaho. "

" Halah, it doesn't seem like an exaggeration if I hate Syafrie. If only you were in my position, then would you also be able to forgive him. We met again after a few years apart. The last time we met, it was in a bad mood. So after meeting again, can you immediately forgive, even though that person has made up for all his mistakes. Tell me, can you? "

Saniah. Then then smiled faintly.

" You see through your own glasses of sadness, without wanting to see what is happening around you. "

" Oh, yeah. Then how am I supposed to look? "

" cc, humans have a story about their own version of pain, Asthma. Now, you might judge me or Marina to live a happy and happy life, right? " Saniah sighed. " Then your thoughts, Asthma. You are clearly wrong. In fact, we also have the same fate, which is no less painful than you."

" Hmm, how sad, anyway, lara y'all. Have you ever been betrayed and stayed married again when you were pregnant? Have you ever been almost crazy because at the same time, you have to lose people you love so much? All I see is that you always live in comfort and smile of happiness. Where ever have you guys experienced near death, for slicing your own pulse with razor."

" If the level of pain you set is that high, it is very difficult for you to accept the words of others. You always think you are right. Because what? Because you have set your own standards. High and definitely right."

" You won't understand, Niah. In the past, when it became an innocent and gentle Asthma. The hammer of suffering and sorrow always falls on me. So at this time, I no longer want to be an innocent Asthma and can be fooled. I need to be able to build that bulkhead so that no one else can step on - step on my pride"

Saniah mangosteen. "is not the world turning, Asthma. Everything must have changed. Even Syafrie and Marina, too. Sorry, I didn't mean to hunt you down. I didn't mean to interfere in your business."

" The world has changed. And I also know that things will change too. But my story can never change. My father and my son cannot live again. And I can't get rid of the grudge in my heart . I can't take away the pain of my heart and the sorrow of my nests when I think back to my Father and my son."

" So what happened a while ago was revenge?" ask Saniah.

" Hmm, I don't know... "

" What are you, satisfied? "

" I guess, not yet. You see, I haven't yet grabbed your best friend's hair, hahaha, "I said that made Saniah tickle - a head bobble with bulging eyes.

" You're crazy. I'm sorry, I slipped "he said, laughing out loud.

Hearing Saniah's words, I wasn't angry. But even follow her up like her. So we laughed out loud - bahak together. Until - until visitors at the cafe was staring in wonder at us.

" By the way, have you met her husband Marina? " Saniah diverted the conversation. I'm shaking. What do I care about her husband Marina?

" Well what? What's in it for me? "

" Well, .. who knows, after meeting her husband Marina, your heartache lessened."

" What's the connection? Are you saying that I'm the one who caused his leg to limp next door."

" Aih.

" Loh, it's limping, isn't it? I should talk, what? "

" Astma, Marina is just as much suffering as you are."

I leaned my face towards Saniah. Grabbing salt and also sambel place near Saniah. I poured a little salt and a few spoonfuls of sambel into the bowl of Coto meat that was in front of me. Saniah's eyes glared at the amount of sambel I poured into my bowl.

" Crazy, Asthma. You want to poison the child in your stomach? Sambel that much. Get a stomachache, just got stuck." Saniah pulled my bowl and intended to throw away the half-sambel that was hanging in my cotoku.

" stop! Don't try - try to throw the sauce away. I won't forgive you, if that's what you did." Saniah stopped doing what she wanted to do because she heard my threat.

" I'm surprised you didn't like spicy food. You always protest that I eat too spicy. But now, look at it. You eat so much sambel. "

" I love what I used to hate and hate what I used to love.

Oh, ja. You said the same suffering. Did he lose his father? All of his children are healthy. Or because of her disabled husband? If that's why it's her fault, why she wants to be with him. " I said cynically as I re-added the sauce to the bowl.

Saniah's eyes glared. " Astma, if you don't like us talking about Marina's problem, don't go on."

he said with an anxious look while grabbing one of my hands.

A pull from my lips I managed to give it to my best friend.

" It's okay. Just continue. You are an ambassador of peace to them. Oh yes, sorry if my words are too harsh" I said

Saniah smiled and clasped my hand. " Don't be mad, dong. We're all better."

I pulled my hand from his grasp. I looked at my friend with sharp eyes. " What happened to that woman until - until now you turned around to defend her."

Honestly, I didn't like it when Saniah defended Syafrie's ex-wife. I want him to defend me and always support me.

" As you already know, his father is now old. Husband's disabled. Three children, still small. Who do you think is the backbone of that family now? Who will feed the seven mouths of the family? Who, Asthma? "

I just shut up. Not responding to Saniah's question. Feeling that I was silent, Saniah replied to himself. " Yes Marina, Asthma."

For God's sake I'm in shock. I just know this news now.

" You want to know what he's working for? " Saniah asked again.

Oh my God, no.. Please don't say it again. I don't want my hatred for that woman to go away. But you fucking Saniah...

" He worked as a laundry laborer in Anisa's laudry. That's loh, the laundry is located close to the entrance gate to our village."

" He was paid a daily salary just enough to eat them once." Damn Saniah.

I hate the theme of this talk, because suddenly there was a feeling of ameh that gave birth to tightness in my chest.

" But his father, the village chief. And Marina's a graduate."

" Hellow Asma Basrie, still not aware of where you are. A college degree does not guarantee a person will live a good life. He was married and had children, three more. "

I'm speechless. Yes, Saniah is right. A diploma alone does not guarantee that one's life will prosper. Because nowadays, finding a job is very difficult. Especially if the target is a good position and a large salary. It is difficult if there is no connection and experience.

" But they are rich, they have land everywhere. Where the hell is all that? Poor time just like that? "

Saniah laughed while patting my cheek. " Mbak, if you run away remember - remember to go home. Let's know the news."

" Hey Asthma, horrified ya. Ambo Tahang served as the village chief for two terms. But in the seventh year, he was temporarily deactivated as the village chief. At that time there were rumors that he was involved in a case of buying and selling positions and corruption of village funds. "

My mouth is wide open. Oh my......
