Sharing Love: The First Wife's Pilu Story
Opinions

The clock has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. Sabrina was forced to open her eyes as the ringing of the phone echoed in her ears. 

Sabrina turned her head towards Mahesa, from the moment she returned home, Mahesa looked exhausted. Moreover, all the orphanage children were unceasingly inviting him to play. 

Sabrina tidied her hair and rubbed her eyes and grabbed the phone on the nightstand. 

"Arum, what's the night like this call?"

Sabrina got off the bed towards the balcony of her room. Afraid Mahesa was disturbed by his chatter. 

"Assalamualaikum.." said Sabrina in a hoarse voice, while looking at the star that was twinkling beautifully at the end of the dark sky. 

"Waalaikumsalam," replied from across there in a soft voice.

Sabrina's eyes so wide open heard there was an oddity with Arum's tone. 

"Tumben you're on the phone tonight? What's up?" Still a pleasantry tone.

There was a sound of a long breath coming from behind the phone.  

"I can't sleep, Sab. I need you, and I can't hold back until tomorrow."

Actually, Arum was also confused with Sabrina, but how else, Sesil was still lacking to be asked for an opinion. 

"Nothing Rum, twenty-four hours I'm ready for you and Sesil." 

"For me too" a whisper came from the other ear. 

Not surprised anymore, it was Mahesa who just came to turn on the lights to light. Sabrina pulled her husband's arm and sat him down.

Sabrina sat on Mahesa's lap, stroking her sturdy jaw after it landed her finger on Mahesa's lips giving the code to silence. 

"What do you want to tell?" sabrina asked, this time turning on the loudspeaker mode. 

"Sab, Mr. Randu proposed to me this afternoon." 

Sabrina gaping, shocked not dumbstruck to hear Arum's words, her heart was also happy. But it was also sad to remember the name of Aya, the woman who was once present at the side of Randu. 

While Mahesa continued to tidy up his wife's hair and smiled. But in fact Mahesa was also surprised by Randu's quick steps, but how else, it was also his advice, and Mahesa was the first supporter for Randu. 

"You sure?" asked Sabrina enthusiastically. 

"Yes Sab, but I don't give you an answer yet."

Arum's voice is getting weaker. 

As a long-time friend, Sabrina knew, surely Arum also thought like him. 

"Sab, what do you think?" ask Arum seriously. Even Arum thinks Sabrina's answer is a determination for the future. 

Sabrina looked at Mahesa, as if she needed Mahesa's opinion for the happiness of her best friend. 

"Rum, you take it easy, now close first I'll call you again." 

After her connection was cut off, Sabrina wrapped her hands around Mahesa's neck until the two looked at each other.

"Mas heard it for himself, didn't you, what did Arum say?"

Hem. Mahesa replied lightly. 

"Why indeed?" Still with a cranky tone. 

"Mas, you can't be serious once in a while. I'm not kidding anymore,"

Sabrina was getting angry.

Mahesa smiled and pinched Sabrina's cheek. 

"Thank you, anyway Randu never played with his words, he was good, well established, just a little stiff."

"Less romantic."

"It's not you, too, why should mas Randu," Sabrina quipped. 

Basic burping yells maling. 

Mahesa cupped Sabrina's cheeks and kissed her lips long and softly. 

I don't know how many times Sabrina let down and couldn't escape.

"Teach me! How can I be romantic" whispered Mahesa. Her hand still held onto both of Sabrina's cheeks without wanting to let go. 

The discussion about Arum and Randu paused for a moment when Mahesa was serious about his request. 

Sabrina kept smiling. Actually he himself does not know, but he himself is fishing Mahesa.

Gawat, I don't know either. 

After a few seconds of wandering with her brain, Sabrina finally opened her voice. 

"The romantic, should be gentle with the couple, always say sweet words, give a gift that is liked, and take her to a very beautiful place. That's all I know."

Sabrina shrugged both of her shoulders, noah, it was true or not that surely a little she could explain to Mahesa. 

"If this is romantic, isn't it?" This time Mahesa was more serious with her kiss, she did not even give the slightest pause for Sabrina to breathe. 

God what dream I had, why could this be so. 

Sabrina could only scream in her heart when Mahesa did not let go of her kiss.

Sabrina finally patted Mahesa's arm as her breathing felt almost exhausted. 

"Mas gonna kill me?" snapped Sabrina. The woman managed to catch her breath which had been choked because of Mahesa's gluttony. 

Mahesa smilingly rubbed Sabrina's lips with her thumb. One hand pulled Sabrina's waist down to scrape the distance. 

"Dear, I just want to prove that I can be romantic too."

Back to the Arum and Randu problem. Sabrina was really serious about asking Mahesa about her next steps. 

"How about Aya?"

Mahesa recalls the story of Randu the other day. And he did not forget the struggle of Randu who had sought Aya out of the city, even how many cities he explored just to find Aya. 

"There's no news, me and Randu can only pray that he's okay. Before his mother died, Randu had promised to give a daughter-in-law who was good for her mother." Mahesa paused her speech for a moment considering the problem that once entwined her to have to involve Randu soan with Aya. 

"And the word Randu is in Arum," he added. 

"That means mas Randu married Arum for fulfilling his mother's wishes, not love."

Again Mahesa could not answer Sabrina's question. 

"Then what if Aya will come when mas Randu and Arum are made? What if Mas Randu still keeps the flavor for Aya?  I don't want my best friend to feel what I feel, it hurts, Mas. It hurts even more than having to scratch a sword for real." 

Sabrina held onto his chest. I still remember how it felt to love without being loved. Sabrina vented what was urgent in her chest, because she did not want it to happen to her best friend. 

Mahesa silently digested every inch of Sabrina's words. He himself felt the pain when he remembered the story of Sabrina a year ago. 

"I'm sorry for everything. And for Arum I promise he won't hurt like you, I will make sure that Arum will be happy living with Randu. 

Sabrina smiled and leaned her head against Mahesa's chest. 

"But I have no regrets about marrying you, because in the end I can feel happiness like a wife out there, and I will not stop thanking God for bringing you into my life." Sabrina kissed Mahesa's cheek. "Don't walk away from me and Devan, without Mas, I can't get on with my life anymore."

Mahesa tightened her embrace. His tongue felt faint and unable to speak. 

Enjoy what else I deny. O God, may You give a straight path to Randu.
