Sharing Love: TWO RINGS
Post-Parture (1)

...This part has been revised....

...***...

The sun has already revealed itself. A cold morning wind blows through the leaves.

The two eyes that had been closed began to open slowly. Graze slowly to adjust the light that is starting to bright.

“Emh ..” The shrill voice broke the silence within the light blue room.

Ayu squirms stretching her body muscles. Turn her position into sitting on her bed. Pick up the phone that is on the table. There were several incoming messages, but he had not intended to reply to them. Ayu just checked what time it was now and it was still quite early in the morning, nine o'clock in the morning more precisely.

He got out of bed and made it all up. After walking to the bathroom, she rolled her hair. Wash your face and brush your teeth. After finishing the ritual in the bathroom, Ayu went down to the first floor to the dining room and kitchen.

“Mothers.” a sapanya kisses Bu Ningrum—'s cheek.

“August, Dear.”

“Tumbenan, misadventure. Usually get up early to jog.” asked Bu Ningrum his hand still stirring coffee.

“Nothing, really. Ayu again not in the mood for jogging this morning.”

“Owalah, yes already. Breakfast first if so.”

Ayu nodded her head.

Ms. Ningrum put the coffee on the tray she had made.

“Still in the morning already guest?”

“Your husband is coming, he says he wants to make sure you go.”

“Hah?”

“Mas-you didn't tell you?”

Ayu shook her head.

“Mau love surprise times, because he also did not say the same mother want to make it to where. But he said to an exciting place.”

“Let Ayu alone bring it to the front.”

“Let's just mom, you have breakfast first. After that shower, only later to the front.”

Ayu nodded her head. He stepped his foot over the bread and put his favorite hazelnut peanut butter on the bread. Coincidentally his mother had cooked hot water, Ayu just poured to make tea.

After finishing his breakfast he stepped into the bathroom to take a bath. After that, I just met my cousin.

...***...

“Trongly, Ay. I'm up to the moss waiting for you.” Raihan—cousin– protest.

“All who comes does not say.” Ayu throttled at the protest of her cousin's sister.

“Hemh, quality later. The uglier you are, Ay.”

“Ish, the habit of talking about” his hand pinches Raihan's waist.

“Awww! Pain, Ay.” Raihan grimaced in pain.

“Where are we going?” ask Ayu curiously.

“There, come with me. Later you will love, just stay with it do not fuss. Okay.”

“OK. Beware if not cool, Ayu do’ future wife Raihan chatty same as Ayu or even similar to Budhe.”

“Jeez, Ay. You have the heart of bener.” Raihan stroked his chest.

Ayu giggles at seeing a cousin who turns melas.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Ayu and Raihan get into the car and start driving.

“Where are we going, anyway, Mas actually?” tanyanya.

“Let me tell you it's close. Anyway important just come along, don't bring.”

Ayu just shook her head and sat quietly following the orders of her cousin Brother.

His eyes were straight ahead, enjoying the view of vehicles and houses as well as tall skyscrapers.

Usually the weekend is the time he spends with Danu, but that was it. When the two are still living together without a third person, especially when Danu decided to divorce and their marriage ended up running aground a few months ago.

Ayu recalled telling all her parents and extended family about the condition of her household before deciding to accept her ex-husband's decision.

No one judges Ayu. At least in front of him, whether behind Ayu.

At first Raihan and his father were so angry when they heard Ayu being slapped by Danu, but Ayu said she was okay. Since that incident, neither Danu nor his family had any good faith to come to his house.

Only Mr. Gunawan, his former father-in-law who came despite one week after the hammer beat rang. He came and said an apology for failing to look after his son-in-law, while his mother-in-law and Danu themselves were completely invisible to his nose.

Ayu sighed.

His mind floated back when he remembered the trial in court at that time.

When the day of the trial came, Ayu strengthened her heart to listen to the judge's decision.

And when he had crossed paths with Danu, and Ayu was surprised to see Danu's face was bruised.

Geck!

Geck!

Geck!

The judge knocked three times the hammer he was holding. Marking, if everything has ended for him and also Danu.

Before she leaves the courtroom, Ayu asks her parents for permission to approach Danu. They nod their heads and wait in the lobby.

“Mas, can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Aparticularly?” answer Danu with a tinge.

Ayu's heart cringed at the answer and saw the look on the face of the man who had lived with her. The person who had spent time with him in a marriage bond, now seemed to spread an aura of hostility and hatred printed in his eyes.

“I just want to say, I want to apologize if as long as being a wife has not been able to do the best, or serve you well. I'm also sorry that I ever made a mistake when we were together. Thanks for everything. May you be happy, I'm sorry.”

Without waiting for a response from Danu, Ayu's body turned away leaving behind the man who had been a priest in her life.

He moved his legs without looking back. There, in front of him was a family who had been waiting for him. Ayu did not want to make them, people who were so fond of her worry or wait too long and see herself looking so pitiful in front of them.

“Ay, Ayu...”.

Raihan's voice roused him from the daydream.

“Eh, yes Mas. Why?”

“Yey, called-call not answer even daydreaming. Come on, hunt down. We have arrived.”

Oh, my God, it's even longer than he thought. Ayu only realized, if she did not go into the open like this.

Since when? Seems like since he got married.

With Danu, Ayu will only spend her time walking in the park, having a romantic dinner at a restaurant, watching a movie at the cinema or just walking around the mall.

“Tsk, mostly daydream you, Ay. Come on, hunt down. Already awaited the same others.” Raihan clucked to see his cousin still faithfully silent in the passenger seat.

After Ayu came out, she followed Raihan's footsteps from behind.

“Mas Raihan, mas—” call him.

“Why, again Ay? You kebelet. Hold on first, then just there. There is also a toilet there. Some of us are already late, others have been waiting from earlier.” Raihan walked in a hurry.

“Ih, who wants to go to the restroom.”

“Ya continue?”

“Mas where will you take me? And who is that other?”

“Aduh, later you also know. Anyway just follow—nah, tuh, they are there.” replied Raihan showed in one direction with his index finger.

Mata Ayu followed Raihan's hand. His eyes immediately broke.

Geez, that was his coworker while working at Raka's place. He also saw Raka there.

“Sorry long, wait for Princess Keraton first which is mostly dumb. So long ago," Raihan told his delay to his friends there.

Ayu hit his cousin's brother's arm.

“Aduh!” Raihan screeched in agony, whereas the others just laughed looking at it.

“How are you, mbak?” ask Jemi—anak IT division to Ayu.

“Good, Jem. How are you, did Ratna come?” he looked around looking for the whereabouts of the person he called.

Jemi scratched her non-itchy nape.

“Diputusin him, Ay.” said Ika—Financial part— Seeing Jemi just silently did not answer his question.

“Yeah, you don't know. Sorry yes, Jem.” He said because he felt bad for Jemi.

“It’s okay, mbak. Relax, maybe it's not your soul mate yet. So now join the holidays together, when Pak Raka nawarin very happy. Pretty, free stuff. When else try to be treated the same boss.” after saying that he chuckles.

Just contact Jemi words greeted with laughter and cheers by his colleagues. All those present there are employees who rarely have free time to vacation in the last few months, because they have to overtime due to a successful project Raka submitted together with investors from foreign companies. Ayu knew very well, because she herself arranged all the schedules and important documents belonging to Raka.

“Bener, Jem. I agree, after ‘torture’ yesterday. Now it's time we relax.”

“If the proverb says, assemble upstream, swim-swim to the edge. Be sick first—”

“Happy then!” shout them at the same time.

Everyone seemed to be laughing happily enjoying the holidays today. Including with Ayu himself, for a moment he forgot his wound. Go and talk with them. Ask each other the news and tell stories about various things, sometimes interspersed with laughter.

Raka and Raihan who were watching from a distance were relieved to see Ayu again, even though they knew it all took a while. Because it must have taken a long time for him to heal from the wounds that were incised so deeply.

“Awas, tuh eyes out,” whispered Raihan in Raka's ear.

“Damn it!” aspir Raka then pushed Raihan's shoulder. He was embarrassed to be caught looking at his best friend's cousin's sister.

Raka then sighed.

“He's much better now, hopefully so on. Hopefully sincere.

“Gue please do too. Niesel, tuh, shucks. It's made my cousin's sister miserable.”

Raka just chuckled at Raihan's words. He certainly knows for sure how Raihan really loves Ayu, although Ayu is not the only cousin but Raihan was the closest to Ayu since they were small.

Raka also recalled the incident the day before the divorce trial between Ayu and Danu. He and Raihan come to Danu's office to give the man a lesson worth having slapped Ayu.

Bugh!

A single blow was lodged in Danu's face when Raihan first entered Danu's office.

“Sick? That's not how much. Here, I add more.”

Raihan hits Danu's heart and the man falls on the floor.

“What-you guys!” he said he did not accept Raihan's treatment.

“Epe-epeen kelen–” Raihan repeats Danu's words in a mocking manner.

“—Eh, shucks. You have dared to marry without her knowledge, continue to bring it cheating you to your home, and you also mukul Ayu. Hmh! Sissy base.”

Danu got up and still held her stomach.

“I was wrong for marrying without Ayu's knowledge, but I didn't cheat. I am not the one who cheated with another man!” said Danu loudly.

Bugh!

This time Raka who had been holding back her anger, raised a fist at Danu.

“You should reflect on your disgusting behavior, do not twist the facts. One day you will regret, because it has hurt his heart and choose a cheap woman like your affair.

“Never! For what regret someone who has betrayed our marriage and the woman I chose now is much better than Ayu.”

The words of Danu invite laughter Raihan and Raka. The two laughed.

“Already if it is already bego, want to be advised anything will not work. Unplug, Br!. Later follow bego also us, like him.” His words scorned Danu.

Raihan embraces Raka dead Danu whose face is battered by the two.

“Lah, stress nih, people. Convinced to chat even smile for themselves, possessed by demons waiting for the beach lo?”

Raka wakes up from her daydream, at first she is upset to hear Raihan's words but suddenly she has an idea in her head. Raka's lips grinned, her feet stepping closer to Raihan.

“Honey, you're coming. I miss,” said Raka with a tone made as marih as possible and hugged Raihan tightly.

Raihan is surprised to find Raka acting strange, especially suddenly struggling spoiled to him.

“Emak, Ayu, please! The Raka is crazy, because he hasn't married!”

All eyes were on them. They saw Raihan who was thrashing in Raka's arms. Their mouths are open.

“It looks like Mr. Raka is too frustrated, because of the slowness of jomlo.”

“Yes, yes pity. Uh, but, right, now Bu Ayu is single. So Pak Raka can go ahead. dong”

“Iya, yes.”

They all laugh at the same time. In contrast to Ayu who only shook his head without the intention of chiming in the temptation directed at him.
