Stuck With My First Love

Stuck With My First Love
EXTRA PART (5) Eating Soto Berlima


All the way home, I kept thinking about Oline's words about the possibility of me getting pregnant. But maybe so soon? Because usually after curettage it takes time to restore the uterus to be ready to get pregnant again. Although that possibility could. Because indeed the recovery of the uterus of each woman varies depending on the age of miscarriage.


My early pregnancy, with an empty pregnancy (blighted ovum), may have recovered for my uterus sooner than expected.


But if I'm really pregnant, am I really ready?


I'm not sure about myself. The experience of losing our future baby, made my mentality really drop. I'm also very sensitive when I see a cute little boy.


I looked at the sight of traffic passing vehicles. At the red light, I stared at the sight of a small family riding a motorcycle. A couple with their two children. The eldest sat in the front seat of the motorcycle, in front of his father. While a young child who is still a baby in the carrying of his mother while covered with a blanket.


A very simple sight. Moreover, they look very happy, even though they have to heat up under the afternoon sun, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Solo city traffic. I smiled and looked at the little family. Especially when the eldest who is less than five years old looks at the glass of my car with a smile and then waves at me. Made me smile and return the small hand.


When the light was green, and our vehicle was separated, I confronted my body forward. I occasionally look towards Coco who stroked my head gently. Then hold my hand.


Drowning in my daydreams about a small family made me momentarily forget about Rena's troubles. As soon as I remembered, I immediately contacted Rena on her phone. Incidentally after the disappearance of Rena the other day made me finally ask for Rena's phone number.


“You call who love?”ask Coco to me


“Phone Rena. Want to ask how the journey? Have you got the cost yet?”I answered while waiting for my phone to be picked up by Rena.


But Rena didn't answer my phone calls either.


“Kok ga lifted ya?”


“Maybe he's just busy”


“Busy why try? Nih the cook's son was busy until he never picked up my phone”gerutuku because Rena did not also answer my phone call


A few minutes after my phone call to Rena, it was Rena's turn to call. Rena video call me.


“Where is Ren?”much


“Sorry yes sis.tadi ga tau kak Vivi telepon”replies Rena


“Halo kak Vivi”sapa Dila to me


How come there's Dila?


I saw Rena moving her phone to the side so that Dila and Rena's faces were on the screen.


The feeling I did not give Dila's number to Rena, how now they can do that.


“Halo Dila”


Loincloth..Coco why are you staring at me like that? Because I said hello to Dila.


“Kok you can together?”much


“So I happened to go to campus to take care of KRS continue to meet Rena in front of the rectorate. So now we can together” Dila replied


Rena moved her phone until I could see Aldi's face on the screen. Aldi was driving the car.


“There's brother Aldi also”ucap Rena


This is why Rena should tell me if Aldi is also coming? Does he not know if now the aura in my car suddenly becomes sultry?


I did not dare to look at Coco who was focused on driving because Coco's face was suddenly very serious.


“So you're home now Rena? Have you got the cost yet?”ask me to shift the worry in my heart because I don't want to talk about Aldi in front of Coco, my husband whose face is now holding back anger.


“Udah brother.kak Vivi is calm. I'm kos with Dila”


“Ya already.ati-ati on the road ya”


“Kak Vivi also ati-ati ya”


Finally Rena ended our video call.


The AC feeling of my car is still normal but why do I feel hot?


“Emm..Co..we stopped by eating yuk” take me to Coco


“Why? You are laper”


“Iya”


“What do you eat?”


“Yang seger-seger aja.soto kayaknya deh”


Imagine a bowl of hot soto with small slices of meat and sprouts. The boiling gravy after being heated in a furnace, made my saliva pingin netes..How fresh is soto. Plus a squeeze of lime and soy sauce and a small spoon of sambal. My mouth is full of saliva.


We also stopped by a famous soto stall on the side of the road. Legendary soto warung that has many branches around Solo residency. Soto stall with a traditional joglo building model with a large parking lot.


Even though it was late afternoon, there were many visitors. I see from the license plate that is parked, indeed many from outside the area.


As always, Coco always opens the car door for me. Although our marriage has been going for almost two years, Coco's attention and affection for me is still the same as it was when we were dating. I feel like the newlyweds are just like Coco.


I'm so grateful, Coco's love and affection for me has never diminished in the past. Makes me feel like the happiest woman in the world because I have a husband as perfect and as good as Coco.


“Makasih”ucapku while putting on the face as blank as possible


Coco just smiled and held my hand. Not yet entered the stall, a very familiar voice shouted my name.


“Kak Vivi?”


Coco and I turned together toward the source of the sound.


Oh my God, why does it fit?


I saw Rena, Dila and Aldi who turned out to also stop by the soto stall we were headed.


I can only smile at Rena's words.


“I also did not expect to see Vivi's sister here”ucap Dila


Aldi walked towards me and Coco.


Coco immediately stood in front of me. Coco and Aldi face each other. I saw the face of Coco who was starting to be unfriendly to see the presence of Aldi.


“You guys just came too?”ask Aldi


“Let's go in.we eat now.I dah laper”ucap Rena.


I saw Rena and Dila walk first inside. Then Coco pulled my hand. Aldi's walking behind me.


The five of us sat together in one corner of the soto stall. The model of the chair in the stall elongated shape facing each other with a long table in front of him. I sat down next to Coco. Dila, Rena and Aldi are sitting in front of me. The atmosphere of our dining table was very gripping. As I glanced at Coco, I saw her looking at Aldi with a very unfriendly look. I just smiled looking at Rena and Dila who held back a few times.


At the table I saw a variety of snacks and fried foods served. Each in a plastic plate with a transparent plate lid. There are various satay such as soy sauce sweet quail egg satay, shellfish satay, intestinal satay, pulmonary satay, kikil satay. There are also tempe mendoan, fried bakwan, tofu and fried tempeh, and fried chicken. There are also other snacks such as rambak crackers, pulley crackers and shrimp crackers.


Seeing so many snacks, I who was already hungry, immediately ate one of the snacks. I ate the still warm tempeh mendoan, which was just served. I took a piece of tissue to wrap the still-warm tempe mendoan.


“Plan-elan dear”ucap Coco to me saw me who was impatient eating tempe mendoan it.


I move my fingers hot because of the tempeh mendoan.


While waiting for our order to come, I chatted with Dila and Rena about their college matters.


“Where's Rena? Are you studying at U*M?”


“Udah dong kak..has been very steady anyway”ucap Rena while glancing towards Aldi.


“I titip Rena ya Dila”


“Iya kak.tenang aja”


“Oya, Brother Oline how are you? I haven't been looking forward to Rena


“Caroline and her baby are healthy” Coco replied


“The girl is the baby? Wahh.it must be funny. Brother Oline same brother Rafael if combined baby his must be very gesin”


“Iya.baby is so funny”answerku enthusiast


“Baby we later also definitely gemesin”ucap Coco while smiling at me


This is his smile why is it like gini? You're not a manas-manasin Aldi right Co?


“Iihh.so sweet”seru Rena with sparkling eyes.


I saw Dila expressionlessly glancing towards Aldi. Aldi I see also staring in the other direction.


Finally the soto we ordered came too. My saliva is filling my mouth more and more. I took the soy sauce and the bowl of sambal that was in front of me. As I was about to spoon a spoonful of sambal, my hand was held by Coco.


“Do not eat sambal much, dikit aja”ucap Coco to me.


The spoon was also reduced in content. Makes me grunt annoyed.


“A little bit.ga kerasalah later sambali”gerutuku because Coco poured back the liquid sambal back into the bowl of sambal.


“Udah little.Its important there is a link kan”


“But how good is this?”my grumbling again


“Coco really Vi.don't eat sambal much. You are not strong pedes”ucap Aldi to me


Why would Aldi follow my concerns anyway? Al.. You realize? Next to me is my husband. Why are you so worried about that..


I was really shocked to hear Aldi's words. I saw Coco stop her activity and stared intently at Aldi.


“Thank you Vivi.but I don't like anyone worrying about my wife” said Coco Ketus


Loincloth..Coco's angry..Aduhh.why is this so anyway? Want to eat soto really complicated..


“Udah yes.we eat only yuk”myajak on Coco and Aldi.


Rena who is sitting in front of me now even looks not as excited as before. Maybe Rena is sad because Aldi followed my worry just now.


Oh Allah.Why am I always faced with this situation anyway?


We finally ate soto quietly. It was very quiet because none of us spoke during the meal. I always look at my husband. Who ate his soto with an expression like restraining anger. I saw Rena also become quiet, I don't know what she thought after hearing Aldi's words earlier. Dila who had been cheerful had also become quiet after seeing the atmosphere of our dining table that turned gripping.


After finishing all the food, we paid to the cashier. Then we came out of the stall together with Coco who kept holding my hand.


“Rena you come with us what with them?”I asked Rena


“I come with you aja” replied Rena with a soft look


“Still Yes Dila..kak Aldi.I went home with brother Vivi same Coco aja”pamit Rena on Dila and Aldi


“Let me call again if you want to go to Jogja”ucap Dila


“Oke”answer Rena


“We first yes kak”ucap Dila to me


“We first ya”ucap Aldi to me


I just nodded.


The five of us went home separately.
