The body has been stiffened by the net finding something heart-wrenching. Trying to stay strong standing at her feet, Calina said when Mereen asked her to leave. Stay away from a couple who love each other.
But as the feet step, move away from the bitter reality. The faint voice of Naura from a distance made Calina almost stop.
"China!"
Calina refused to stop at that moment. Trying to pretend not to listen to the call.
"China!"
The voice was getting closer, inevitably making Calina and Mereen stop stepping. But the two did not look back immediately.
A pair of eyes had been soaked by the rest of the tears. Looking back is not the same as showing her fragile side?
"You're a strong woman!" mereen whispered.
Calina rubbed both eyes, then turned her body. Right one meter in front of him, Naura and Zio stood up. Naura with her sweet and elegant smile.
Zio seemed to be grasping the possessive fingers of Naura's left hand. In his right hand was a medium-sized white paper bag. You can guess it's a paper bag containing whose belongings.
Naura uses a long-sleeved black knee-length dress. Thin makeup that looks so neat. Wavy black hair in neat booths, with a small hairpin behind the ears. A small bag with a long strap hung on his left shoulder.
' Despite coming home from work like this, Naura still looks beautiful and elegant.it deserves Mas Zio crazy for her. Not like I've been random - randomize! '
Calina felt insecure about herself. Who is now in work clothes, trousers and a small backpack. Black hair is tied up so as not to fall apart. The makeup is not as smooth as it was this morning.
"Oh, Naura!" greet Calina pura - pura did not know before, without looking at Zio's eyes.
"Hi!" Naura smiled kindly. "This is your friend?" mereen pointing.
"Yes, her name is Mereen!" calina answered, embracing Mereen's arm.
"Hi, Mereen!" naura reached out to Mereen. "Include me Naura!"
Visible smile Naura is a smile of sincerity. But somehow Mereen will later interpret Naura's smile.
"Greetings, Naura!" welcome Mereen smile smirk.
"What shopping?" naura asked looking at the small black paper bag in Calina's hand.
"Oh.." Calina lifted her paper bag. "My watch is broken, so I bought a new one!" calina is lying. There's no way he's saying that it's not a watch. Because clearly - clearly on both sides of the paper bag there is a screen printing watch brand that is quite famous.
"Oh.." Naura nodded. "Eh, we're in a crowded mall - crowded, how about we watch together?" tawar Naura's. "Or have dinner together?"
"Lt..."
Calina was worried. Dining together? will you see the two feeding each other? It was mesmerizing, as he had seen several times if Naura was playing to his house with Zio.
If so, the world could be turned upside down in front of Calina. Because it's a public place, and Mereen knows that Zio is her husband. Her best friend will hate her husband even more.
"But Cal, you said you wanted me to buy Mama's clothes!" sahut Mereen. Because previously there was no event for Mereen to buy her Mama clothes.
"Yes.iyaa! i know!" calina answered Mereen. "I'm sorry, Ra! Mereen must have been waiting for her mom!" calina answered Naura.
"Oh..." Naura looked disappointed. "When do we go together, then?"
"Hopefully!" sahut Mereen was spontaneous when Calina could not answer Naura's invitation.
Calina glanced at Mereen at a glance, because Mereen's authentic tone was a little tidy.
"Yes yes, Ra! we..go first!" pamit Calina on Naura.
"Yes, Cal! see you!" naura replied waving with a smile.
Zio himself who was treated like that, just kept quiet. Staring flatly at his second wife. There was not the slightest feeling of being touched by anything Calina did.
Mereen pulled Calina's hand to immediately move away from before Zio and Naura. He was also hot to see Zio's attitude is very unfair to his best friend.
Calina walks away leaving her husband with his first wife. His gaze was blank forward, his head could not stand straight. He kept holding Mereen's arm. If not, maybe he will stray or hit something. Mereen understands that.
Occasionally his head wanted to look back, seeing how they looked as he left carrying an invisible veneer. Bringing envy that cannot be expressed. But he knew, only the wound he would get if he looked back.
"If it wasn't for Naura inviting, I'm sure Mas Zio wouldn't have come to me!" grumbled Calina then.
"I know!" sahut Mereen ketus's.
Sighing, "he even looked at me like he wasn't his wife!"
"I know!" sahut Mereen again.
"When can I feel what Naura is feeling, Mer?" ask Calina limp. "The company of the shopping husband.given a beautiful smile every day and every time!"
"If you divorce your husband, then marry another man who loves you!" mereen answered quickly, firmly and without caring about her best friend's feelings. Maybe because Mereen was too tired to see her poor best friend.
Calina smiled bitterly. Divorce is something she doesn't want. Her dream in marriage was to marry once in a lifetime. All he still thinks about until now is how to get the love of the husband.

"Mas, don't you want to, occasionally accompany Calina shopping?" ask Naura to Zio.
"For what?" ask Zio cuek.
"Mas... Calina is also your wife.."
"You know, honey! I married her because I had to. Let Papa be happy!"
"But Mas! he has rights over you too. He deserves a happy marriage..."
"I didn't force her to marry me!" zio replied flatly as he continued to drive his car.
"Tie him, Mas!" Naura. "I'm sure he's survived this far because he was forced to. For the sake of your family relationship stay good!"
"I don't care!" answer Zio indifferently.
"Mas, can you learn to love him too?" asked Naura doubtfully. She was afraid of losing her husband, of course.
"I can't, honey!" zio answered looking at Naura at a glance. "I just love you, where might I share it for another woman!"
"She's not another woman, Mom! She's your wife! your legal wife!" naura keukeh. "The woman you are obligated to give happiness to!"
"I have given him money equal to his salary! Without asking for my rights as a husband. Isn't that already very beneficial for him?" ask Zio. "He just has to pretend to be sweet to me in front of Papa and Mama!"
"Do you never think, he needs to be happy too. She was also a woman that her husband wanted to love!" Naura. "If you're like this, he'll be like in prison! she can't accept another man's love because she's your wife!"
"I freed him to fall in love with anyone, I don't care! any man who wants to approach her I don't care either!" answer Zio lightly. "As long as our family doesn't know, it doesn't matter!" zio pinched his wife's cheek.
"But they won't be able to get married, if Calina stays married to you!" Naura. "They'll be like cheating spouses!"
"Alright, Honey! don't talk about the girl if we're both. I don't like it!"
Naura sighed. Zio is a stubborn man. What he wants he has to get. No matter how others feel.
