Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Happy Changed Pilu
While enjoying a bowl of Soto Ayam Lamongan at the tent stall, apparently it can be a little familiarizing Radit and Khaira. Various topics of conversation just flowed, even though Radit was more domineering to wonder to Khaira.
From the chat, it turns out that both of them like to eat cat rice in Angkringan. Really, an unexpected similarity.
"Where else to eat? Can I anterin keep me on vacation?" ask Radit to Khaira.
"I follow you, Mas. Wherever it doesn't matter." replied Khaira.
"Naek a bike bentar in front of it would not? Rent a bicycle means, muter-muter region here. Want no?"
"Yes, I can..."
Finally after eating, the two returned to walk to rent a bicycle that was rented to surround the Old City area. Renters simply pay the rent according to the package they can choose.
"We rent one bike, yes, I can fuck you." he bargained.
Khaira seems confused, even though they can rent a bicycle by themselves. Though they are actually not that close to be able to shake each other on a bicycle.
"Eh, is Radit sure? Why not just hire two?" Khaira is still trying to get Radit to rent two bikes.
"It's okay, I'm a hick. Wanna wear that round hat?" this time Radit laughed at the round hat that was rented along with his bike.
"No ah, my. Apaan. Don't wear all hats." replied Khaira a little ketus.
"Yes, but let's go on the hunt." Radit once again asked Khaira to immediately piggyback on him.
With hesitation, Khaira finally hugged the bicycle. Even though he wears jeans, but he chose to piggyback on the style of women who wear skirts or dresses.
Radit pedaled the white bicycle and then circled the Old City area, Radit chose the route from Fatahillah to the Morning Market and Old Market. Radit even seemed excited to pedal his bike. Who would have thought Radit was once so thin, now the man even laughed so much and talked a lot together with Khaira.
When he reached the Kota Intan Bridge, Radit stopped his bike. "We take a photo first, make a memento. This is a good place because. Does it feel like in Europe?" radit said as he watched his surroundings.
Then, Radit took the phone out of his pants pocket and asked one of the visitors who was there to take a picture of them.
"Mas, can you please take a picture of us?" radit said asking for help to a man who appeared to be jogging in the area.
"Bby Mas... I photographed it." The man prepares to take a picture of Radit and Khaira. "Maknya smile dong Mbak, same grip Masnya to look romantic."
Khaira panicked to hear the direction of the man who was taking the picture, Khaira smiled stiffly but she did not dare to hold on, meaning to hold Radit's waist.
Seeing Khaira who seemed to not react to anything actually made Radit take Khaira's hand suddenly and land it to circle to his waist.
"See here, Ma'am... One... Two... Three..." Instructions from the man who was taking the picture.
"Smiling at the camera. Let the picture be good." he said softly.
Czechkk...
"Once again Mas and Mbak." again the man gave instructions to take a portrait of both of them once again.
After the impromptu photo action was completed, Radit thanked the man who had helped him. The man then observed the shots in the gallery of his phone, a smile just appeared from Radit's face while wiping the screen of his phone.
"Try looking at this. Is it good for the picture? I sent it to your phone." he said smiling happily while showing the phone screen to Khaira.
"Yes, great. Thanks Mas." Khaira replied while nodding her head.
In addition to the wedding photos, this time the photo became a photo of the two together after marriage. After four months passed, Khaira did not expect to return to take pictures with her own husband. Kota Intan Bridge became a historic place for Khaira, because this is where the two of them took pictures together after becoming husband and wife.
After that, the two of them continued their journey on a bicycle. And, Radit is still in the spirit of pedaling his bike.
"Capek is not Mas? If we're tired of walking, let me take the bike." asked Khaira who was still piggybacking behind Radit.
"No, I'm not tired. Will arrive again too. How's it going?" he asked while his feet were still pedaling the bike and looked back at Khaira.
"Yes, exciting. Thank you" said Khaira. "Mas, stop by the minimarket for a while, yes, I bought a drink, must be thirsty." while Khaira's finger pointed at the minimarket in front of him.
Radit stopped his bike in front of the minimarket, then followed Khaira inside. The man took 1 liter of mineral water, because pedaling the bike far enough certainly makes him thirsty. Khaira only takes small bottled mineral water.
"Let me pay for it, Mas." Khaira said as soon as they were about to head to the cashier to pay.
"Don't, I'm just. I'm a guy anyway, I'm your husband. I'm just." Radit immediately paid for the two bottles of mineral water and then came back out of the minimarket.
Only he drank it for a while and intended to return to cycling, the phone rang and apparently it was from Felly.
Khaira who saw Radit will receive a call, she took distance from Radit so that the man could speak freely on the phone.
[Hello, yes Yang.] Radit said as soon as he received the call. And somehow Khaira felt like her heart was being pinched. Just a moment ago, he was so happy that he didn't think about Felly, but now Felly is contacting Radit.
[Yes, I'm back home, Yang. Hmm, yes.] Radit spoke again and ended the call.
Hearing Radit's soft words when receiving a phone call from Felly, in fact, was very impactful for Khaira. Making Khaira aware of who she is, what her position in Radit's life is, as sweet as Radit treats her but the love that man has is just that of Felly. Khaira calmed her own heart, that it was okay. But why was his heart hurting more than before? Did he start opening his heart to Radit? Is it wrong if Khaira also wants to be accepted and loved by her own husband?
Happiness that Khaira experienced in fact tipped bitter. However, Khaira tries to hide it but she cannot ignore that her heart feels bitter.
If my husband loved me, there was no other woman in his life, I would truly be a happy woman.
His mind in the heart while again hinting Radit with his hand holding a bottle of mineral water owned by both.
