"It seems I'm no stranger to your wife's face, Rud!" murmured aunt Marlina.
Anne frowned when she heard Aunt Marlina's words. He was curious about the statement of his husband's friend. Curiosity increasingly whack because aunt Marlina never continued her speech.
"Your wife looks like someone, but who does?" Aunt Marlina was still observing Anne, trying to remember where she had met Anne. The beautiful woman seemed to have seen Anne, but nowhere.
"It seems, I often see photos of your wife, but I forget where," continued aunt Marlina.
"This wife of mine is Sekar's daughter, our classmate, Lin!" answer Rudi firmly.
Of course, all who were there were surprised to hear Rudi's confession. Likewise with aunt Marlina, the beautiful woman was really surprised to hear the answer of Rudi.
"Lu crazy, Rud! Not even got his mother to get his son! OMG, you really are!" Unknowingly Aunt Marlina blurted out that sentence.
What Aunt Marlina said certainly made Anne uncomfortable. He still smiles even if he has to. The reality uttered by Aunt Marlina in fact managed to make a rumble in the heart. The feeling that had been long gone was now coming back. However, as much as Anne could suppress all that, because she had promised to forget whatever happened in the past.
"God! Sorry, sorry, darling! Auntie didn't mean to offend you" said aunt Marlina as she looked overcast in Anne's eyes.
Aunty Marlina hugged Anne for a few seconds, she developed her smile while rubbing Anne's cheek for a while. Anne's beautiful face successfully reminded her of the figure of a friend who had accompanied her while in college.
"God is so fair, Lin, for sending him in my life. Every day I feel young because I am happy with him" said Rudi with a calm attitude.
"Yes, yeah, yeah, I get it! Having young leaves was indeed a joy, Rud!" aunty Marlina replied with a small laugh.
"Trust dong ya! Ahem, who likes to flock must be always young!" another woman who was there.
"Yes! Marlina and Rudi are the same! The young lover! Duh, we're losing! Ye right?" said another friend of Rudi.
Everyone chuckled at the jokes of the few people who were there. They chat and reminisce about memories of college.
"You're married again, Lin?" ask Rudi after knowing that Marlina's husband died.
"He's not married, Rud! Likes to mess around with brondong!" Hijab aunt also answered Rudi's question.
"Now! I am married, yes! Just be careful if you're interested in my husband later!" said aunt Marlina.
Om Rudi just smiled at the jokes of his friends. So did Anne, she really enjoyed the atmosphere there, because it turns out that friends om Rudi is not like those in her shadow.
"Good morning,"
There was the baritone voice of a man who had just arrived behind Rudi and Anne. The voice made an uncomfortable feeling in Anne's heart, as it was so familiar to her sense of hearing.
"Hay, Honey! I'm here to tell you!" said aunt Marlina.
Deg. Anne's heart stopped beating after seeing the man standing next to her aunt Marlina. A man who used to mean a lot in Anne's life, now joined in there.
"Good." Anne muttered softly as her eyeballs collided with the man at the side of Aunt Marlina.
The expression on Rudi's face suddenly changed when he saw the presence of Bagus there. He did not expect if the ex-lover of the wife turned out to be in a relationship with his classmates first.
"I live there! I'm going to see Darto first!" say hello to Aunt Marlina and her friend, "Come, baby!" said Rudi while looking at Anne at a glance.
Going somewhere else seemed much better than having to be there with Good. Rudi asked Anne to meet another friend. Now, the couple joined the om-om who brought a couple.
After saying goodbye to his friends. Om Rudi brought Anne to the venue reserved for later events. Om Rudi chose a place in the corner of the room, quite comfortable to relax because it was a bit far from the crowd.
"But I'm hungry!" anne said after sitting in her chair. He sat down with Rudi and left the other two seats empty.
"Honey, why call papi again?" ask Rudi while looking at his wife.
"So it's just pretending in front of Papi's friends" Anne said as she looked at her husband.
"But Papi likes loh if you want to call Papi with the name 'Mas' and use ordinary language. It feels like a real husband and wife" said om Rudi while looking at Anne.
Anne threw her face the other way, embarrassed to hear her husband's request. It would not hurt to switch the call to 'Mas', but Anne felt strange because she was not used to calling it.
"Udah ah! Don't want to discuss it again," said Anne while pinching the back of the hand of om Rudi.
"You want?"
"Darling .. want yes, yes, yes, yes!" Om Rudi is teasing Anne. He does not care about the situation around.
"Ih! That's really naughty!" Anne was upset to see her husband's behavior, "already ah! That show has already started! Shutup!" anne said after hearing the voice of the woman who instructed the invitees to sit in their respective places.
Everyone is looking for a place before the event actually starts. An uncomfortable feeling began to creep up inside Anne when she saw Aunt Marlina walking towards her. Seen once if the woman is confused looking for a seat because everything is full.
"Rud, can I join you here? Not some place!" ask aunt Marlina.
"Please, Lin." Om Rudi was forced to let aunt Marlina sit because it was not pleasant to refuse.
The air atmosphere in the corner of the room suddenly turned uncomfortable when aunt Marlina and Bagus were sitting there. It's true, Anne doesn't love Good anymore. However, being close to someone who was once a special figure is certainly not easy. There is still a sense of awkwardness and discomfort.
"Duh! Hope you don't think weird!" anne's inner self without taking her eyes off the performers standing on stage.
Anne knew that Good would occasionally steal a glance at her. That's what makes him uncomfortable. Anne was afraid that Rudi was angry because of this unimportant matter. Moreover, after the event took place, the committee called Rudi and Aunt Marlina forward to convey a speech as outstanding alumni.
Really, Anne was getting uncomfortable when she was just alone with Nice. He just kept quiet without looking in the good direction. I want him to run away from this place because the more the situation makes him uncomfortable.
"How are you, An?" tanya Good after a few minutes of silence.
"I'm fine" said Anne, looking at Good at a glance, "what are you?" Anne had to ask for a little talk.
"As you can see, An," said Good without taking a look from Anne. He behaved normally in front of Anne, as if nothing had happened in the past.
The conversation continues even if it is just a pleasantries. Anne became increasingly uncomfortable as Bagus tried to accustom himself to her. Anne was only scared when she saw the supervisor standing on the stage.
"God! It feels like CCTV!" anne's inner self after her black bead meets Rudi's eye.
