"This is what Uda asked. Where'd you see Uda with the other women from?"
Unwilling to make any pleasantries, Safa pointed her phone at the nightstand. "Ambiland!"
Edzar said he took the phone and handed it to Safa. For a moment Safa fiddled with the flat object, then handed it to Edzar again with the screen on.
A photo was posted there. Edzar stared closely at the picture.
"Where did you get this from?"
"Why? You want to be angry with that guy? Want to blame someone else for cheating?" safa replied fiercely.
Edzar sighed, his eyes still fixed on Safa's flaming phone.
"Can't answer, right?"
"Safa's disappointed. Safa thinks A Uda's a loyal person. Safa was wrong."
Safa started crying.
"A Uda still remember? Safa used to say, if Uda failed Safa just once, Safa would not want to continue our relationship."
"Hiks, A Uda is evil...."
"Have you?" ask Edzar calmly. "So this is what bothered your mind from yesterday?"
Edzar looked at Safa who was teary-eyed. His body moved to the edge of the patient's bed, right next to Safa who was lying with sobs that tried to be held, albeit for free.
Edzar's hand lifted shrinking the water with his fingers.
"Don't you really misunderstand me, baby."
Safa brushed off Edzar's hand. "A Uda's cheating, right"
"What do you mean by cheating?"
"This photo?"
"Who exactly gave you this photo? Uda's upset now. Because of him, you get overwhelmed and think no-no."
"Safa gak-"
"Shut up" Edzar said, but in a soft voice.
"You see this."
Safa tried to dodge, she could not afford to stare at Edzar's affection with the woman.
"Don...."
"No way!"
Edzar pushed a little forcefully beside Safa's head to look at the screen of the phone he was holding.
"Look! This is what you mean by cheating, right?"
Safa fell silent with her pursed lips shaking. Trying to escape his eyeballs to and fro, as long as not in the photo.
"Obviously, the one who took this photo doesn't know Uda very well."
"If he knew Uda, he wouldn't have immediately sent this photo and said Uda was cheating."
"You want to know who this woman you call cheating is?"
"Ai, this is Uda's nephew."
"What?"
"Name Eris. He is the son of Uda's cousin in Sumatra. To Jakarta because there is a student exchange."
"She lives with Mom in Depok, because her school is near from there."
"Sorry Uda did not have time to say the same to you, because after that Uda called the Chief, he said there was an urgent. Uda's intention to contact you again is hindered."
"When Uda is very upset and wants to hear your voice."
Safa was still gulping in her cries. He refused as Edzar turned his head to look at the man.
"Ai, believe me, Uda never messes around about feelings. Once Uda's heart falls on you, you will forever choose."
"You still don't believe it? Need Uda call Eris right now?"
"Make what?" ketus Safa powder.
"To prove everything. To solve our problems lest you continue to dissolve into bad thoughts."
As the atmosphere became silent, Edzar waited for Safa's answer that never spoke.
"alright. If you don't want to see Eris. Uda will call Reno or Tirta. Those who know who Eris is" Edzar breaks up.
This is better. It seemed that Safa was still overwhelmed with jealousy. Edzar did not want to aggravate it.
Since Reno did not pick up the call, Edzar turned to Tirta's contact. Incidentally, in the ring the three men instantly received a Video Call from him.
Tirta's face frowned at the sight of Safa who was sobbing. Then he looked at Edzar, "What's up, Bang? Safa why?"
Since Edzar attended the circumcision of Uwa Nining's granddaughter last time, everyone has known about Safa's relationship with him. The news quickly spread, even Tirta who was not present could tell.
"Ta, you want to ask for help, and your answer is your life and death now."
Tirta frowned, "What, anyway, Bang? Since when did Bang Edzar become more like Bang Reno?"
Edzar's face slightly slashed, "It's not the time to ask that."
"Please help me explain, who is the woman in this photo?" Edzar shows Safa's phone showing a photo of Edzar and the woman he calls Eris.
"That's Eris, right? I remember because of the veil I bought last week."
Edzar breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded, slightly glancing at Safa who slowly started to stop sobbing.
"really. And who is Eris?"
"Kok Brother even nanya? Don't you know your own nephew?"
Edzar nodded, "Know. The problem is that Safa is not familiar. She thinks you're cheating on her own niece." His eyes again glanced at Safa who scowled wrongly.
Edzar snorted, smiling amusedly at his behavior. So adorable.
Tirta who understood nodded in understanding. Voluntarily he explained who Eris was with Edzar the other day. He said Eris was their nephew from a cousin in Sumatra, their late father's family who was Minang.
Eris is still in school, in the eleventh grade of High School. His posture was indeed high, even far beyond Safa. The girl looked as good as Edzar if side by side. Just like Safa saw in the photo.
Even now Eris lives in the house of Aunt Dyah in Depok, as Edzar told her. Tirta who still lives with her mother certainly knows. Even now he wants to go to Eris' school to pick up the girl. Poor, he said Eris is still a new person, afraid not to know the address and lead to stray.
While riding an ojek or taxi online, Tirta strictly prohibited because he had heard the incident that hit Safa yesterday. The man became more aware of himself in the people closest to him.
"If anything happens to Eris, we die, Bang, be silent to her mother who was like Godzilla gave birth to it," Tirta said at the end of his explanation.
Edzar snorted amusedly, turning to Safa who had suddenly been mute since earlier. "Where? What do you believe now? Still want to be suspicious of Uda?"
Safa did not answer, the girl played her fingers in an abstract motion on Edzar's chest wrapped in a white T-shirt.
Of course Edzar was anxious not playing, pinned Safa's nose is tiny, then he kissed the former pinch. Edzar smiled as Safa hit him weakly.
Both of them dissolved in their own world, unaware of Tirta who turned his panted eyes across there.
The fate of the person who is only called upon when needed, his inner self.
Without waiting for a long time, Tirta disconnected the video unilaterally. It doesn't matter if Edzar still wants to talk or not. For sure he was not willing to witness the ridiculous behavior of the two newly official lovebirds.
