The Beautiful Doll of the Judge
Unforgettably

"I'm just getting hungry." The man suddenly hugged his wife's arm. "Let me be like this, to be able to hold hunger," he said.

Hearing that Khati only shook her head while holding back a laugh. "Maybe the movie is over soon. Just wait, okay?" He was a little excited to see the man start to starve.

"Mk." The man had his head on his wife's shoulder.

"Mas," warns Khati.

"Cold, Julia." Jun was still asking to be understood.

The woman was forced to hold back her anger with a slight frown and changed to tidying the scarf that coiled around the husband's neck. He cares too. "Makanya ... fortunately Mas wear this scarf, so not cold."

The rest, Jun enjoyed being able to hug the wife's arm for a while. He deliberately leaned his head because then he seemed to have, even if only for a moment.

The movie is over. The light was turned on and right then and there, the man had to take off his embrace. Khati put a popcorn container on an empty chair next to her so she could tidy up her clothes from the scraps of the falling food. Jun drank the rest of his colleagues.

They then join at the end on the queue to exit the cinema. The two put on their sunglasses before stepping in search of a restaurant for dinner.

Damar was still glued to his eyes at the campaign glass he held on the table. Since losing Julia nearly two months ago, she started drinking hard. But he began to stop her when he heard the woman's return, even by hearing unpleasant news. That woman married someone else.

He diligently finds out, even though he ends up disappointed. Julia was indeed married to the judge, but she attempted to meet. He tried to find out from the woman's mouth the reason but she always avoided it. He was confused how to get his wife back.

The time he took to meet the woman, because of the inevitable longing. But when he saw the two together, his heart broke. He really can't lose Julia.

Filled again the glass that had been empty with a bottle of illegal drink that was next to it, but it turned out that the bottle was empty. He put the bottle back down in annoyance. "Servant!"

A young man dressed as a barmaid, came to him.

"I'm asking for one more, one!" yelled Damar with an irregular tone. His eyes began to turn red. No one knew he was drunk except when he spoke.

"I'm sorry, sir, but you've finished 2 big bottles. It's impossible for you to drink the third one, because you're already sober."

"What order are you stopping me from drinking here, huh! I pay, not debt!" said the bespectacled man fiery from where he sat.

"Yes, Sir." The man's servant began to speak softly by persuading him. "Would you please go home? Do I want to take you back to the room?"

Damar looks confused. The waiter took the initiative by pulling him up from the chair and taking him to the payment stand with great difficulty. There, the waiter took himself out of a pocket of Damar pants, a wallet and completed the payment. After that, take him away.

Damar was a customer at the bar so he was used to such service. When he was drunk, he checked into the hotel where the bar was.

-----------+++---------

Khati was just about to leave for gymnastics when her phone rang. As expected, Damar called her. "Julia .. help me." There was a loud voice from the other end.

The woman scrunched her forehead. "Why are you, Damar?" Khati had not gotten used to calling the man by his name like he used to be in college.

"My head is dizzy."

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the hotel."

"Hotel?"

Careful confusion. She does not want to help her ex-husband but she is now a wife. Helping the man at the hotel can be slanderous, especially now that he has become the wife of a famous judge. If anyone recognizes it, this can be cheap gossip on various social media. "Don't you have anyone to help you?"

"none. My parents moved to Jogja following my sister who attended college there. So my house is empty. Please Julia, I can't wake up and my stomach's sick of vomiting."

"Eh, but .. what do people say if I go there myself? I don't want any rumors to ruin my husband's good name."

"Julio ...." At that time Damar's tears dripped slowly through his ears. He lay helpless on the bed. "Please ...."

"Where are you, Damar?" With a focus, Khati tried to remember the name of the hotel and the room number. He then switched off the phone and called his husband.

Jun is shocked to learn his wife called. He pulled the car over because he was worried. "Darling, what's wrong?"

Khati then told him what happened.

"You should call the hotel and say that the guest is sick so they can be sent to the hospital. Just meet Damar at the hospital."

"Eh, yes, Mas."

While hanging up the phone, Jun's worries were actually lessened but other concerns were raised. Hearing the wife panic about her ex-husband makes Jun jealous. Actually, if there was still love left for her ex-husband, she was a little restless.

I obeyed her husband's message. He then went to the hospital where Damar was treated.

"Julia," called Damar as she walked into her treatment room.

The woman approached. The man's face was so pale. Doctors said he had to empty his stomach because the man had not eaten since yesterday and only filled his stomach with alcoholic beverages.

Khati is so pitying. He could feel the man must have lost his lover just like he lost Damar. But he realized he was strong because he could finish everything before leaving the man.

Even after that they can still meet at the office. She even had to sacrifice herself to teach her ex-husband how to do business in order to work in his company, while his heart was deeply hurt. He's willing to do that.

Unlike Damar who was immediately destroyed when his former lover married someone else. He even drowned himself with liquor. Khati believes, since Julia disappeared, the man has been drinking liquor because there is no way the man fell ill just because of drinking alcohol only overnight.

"Julia." The man immediately grabbed the woman's hand.

Khati surprised. When he tried to pull his hand, Damar would not let go.

"Julia, just for a second. I miss you."

"But Damar. I'm o—'s wife"

"Fuck your husband!"

Khati shock! In a weakened state, the man still tried to maintain his ego.

Damar realized the woman was so shocked that he tried to get back soft on her. "Eh, Julia. Justjust please. I don't have anybody. Don't leave me," she almost cried. He still holds the woman's hand.

Kati is confused. Iba was at once surprised by the change of Damar which sometimes exploded every time he met him. The man had changed, not as he knew it. Or is he the one who doesn't know Damar?

In the past, when he found out that the best husband was cheating, did he not feel cheated? There was something else she didn't know about her ex-husband. Now after seeing Damar who often changes, he is sure he does not know who Damar really is.
