The Hijra Bunga Desa
Perturbed

The two men who were past and the Rose husband of today were still facing each other. Unlike Simba who was able to stand with puffed up chest and sharp gaze full of confidence, Fandi was not able to look at Simba for long. He kept looking around like a thief.

"What do you think of when you meet a married woman?" ask Simba.

"Don't big head, Before the Rose became your wife, She was once my wife and loved me so much, Even I'm sure her love is still there for me to this day, That's why he's currently standing here to see me." Fandi's confidence re-emerged when he heard what Simba said.

Simba smilingly shook his head and extended his hand to the Rose. Without hesitation, Roses grabbed Simba's hand and stepped forward parallel to Simba.

Seeing the grip of his hand made Fandi burn with jealousy and disbelief if Roses had completely forgotten her and loved her husband.

"You're too confident Pendi."

"Fandi." protest Fandi.

"Yes Pandi."

"Fandy! I said Fandi!"

"Yes yes... I don't care if your name is Pandi Pendi or anything, which is clear you are too confident to think Ana came here on her own Will, Just so you know, Ana came here on my wish, I forced him to meet you one last time. So tell me what you want to say right now!".

Looking at Simba's hand that kept on Rose's shoulder. Making Fandi increasingly burned flames of jealousy and protesting the act.

"Watching out in public what else is in front of her ex-husband does not signify that you are living happily."

Simba turned his head towards the Rose, looking for answers to what Fandi said. And so is Fandi who is also waiting for the same answer.

"I don't have to explain it to Mr. Fandi I'm happy or not. I'm so grateful to have a husband like her."

"I thought you'd never be able to say love other than me." Fandi puffed his chest to Simba who looked silent staring at the Rose.

"Now do you believe that the Rose loves me?"

"There's nothing like it! My feelings for Mr. Fandi are long over, If I say thank you for having a husband like him, It means I not only love him but I love him so much."

Fandi was stunned to hear what the Rose had to say. Simba does not seem to believe what he hears.

"His love is not just words, but his love along with actions. He knows how bad my past was with you, but he accepted me unconditionally, and most importantly his whole family accepted me well. What could be happier than that?"

Fandi fell silent, It was very inversely proportional to her that there was no struggle to make her parents accept their love.

"Our relationship is long over, and during that time we can live each of our lives so just continue like that. There was no need to contact me anymore." With a smile hidden behind his veil, Rose reached out her hand to Simba, then took her away from there while leaning her head on Simba's shoulder all the way to their car.

Fandi could only stare at the back of the spoiled Rose in Simba's arms in regret. The woman who used to love him so sincerely, has now gone to take with her his love for another man.

Seriate...
