After finishing lunch together, finally the two friends who had not met each other for a long time. There was a little awkwardness and not as usual anymore, so the beginning of their conversation also still felt bland.
"Ris, why were you in that place and carrying a backpack? What the hell is going on? Are you running away from home?" pawpak Steven.
Before answering a question from her best friend, Marisa could only sigh deeply while leaning her back against the wall.
"I was cast out by my husband and in-law, Stev. Because secretly my husband turned out to have another woman, and they've been playing with fire for a long time behind me." Marisa explained.
Steven was shocked when he heard the answer from his best friend. It turns out true, if his best friend already has a lover or rather already married.
"Then, are you still maintaining your relationship?" ask Steven again.
The girl was now staring directly at the face of her old friend. Actually the girl was a little embarrassed, because she had failed to build her household with the man she desperately stood behind.
And again Marisa let out a long sigh while smiling bitterly. The girl is currently like a Bodooh person who must accept the bitter reality, that her household was destroyed exactly one month of her marriage.
"No, Stev. For me a household that has been ignited by fire, will definitely burn and eventually scorch as well. So it's useless if I defend my household with a guy like him. And if I did, I'd be a really good woman." Marisa explained.
Steven immediately smiled slightly when he heard the explanation from his best friend. The man seemed to be keeping something from the girl in front of him.
'Meaning after this, I still have hope of approaching you, Risa. And I also hope that someday, you will receive me. Because it's very hard for me to keep harboring this feeling that has been for years.' Steven's inner.
Marisa who was still staring at her best friend, now directly lowered her head. To be honest he felt ashamed, because of the failure in building the household of his dreams.
'Surely now Steven has become my ilfil, because I will be a widow at my age who is still very young.' Marisa's mind.
Now only the silence in the room nuanced all white bone. Marisa who is still busy with her thoughts, as well as Steven who is still thinking about ways, to approach the girl who has been his target since long ago.
"Stev's?"
"Riss?"
The silence was immediately split apart, as the two of them called each other out simultaneously.
"You go first" they said simultaneously.
They finally chuckled together, as the two exchanged calls.
"Haha... Ladies first, Marisa!" steven said with a sweet smile.
"alright. Thank you, frog prince." Marisa replied with a chuckle.
Steven chuckles when he hears a new call for him. Whatever the call from the girl, for her would not be a problem for him.
"Ep... I'm sorry if I told you about my privacy earlier, Stev. Maybe at this time you also think of me like a bodooh girl, who is very easily fooled by the figure of a man I have not known for a long time. And maybe you feel ilfil too, right? When I hear an explanation from me. Because soon my status will be a widow at my young age." explained Marisa with a bitter smile.
"Just calm down, Ris. No matter what your circumstances may be, I will always be by your side. I will also be your best friend" Steven said sincerely.
'And I will also be the first person who will always put up a body for you, Risa. For me, the status of the widow is not important. The most important thing is that you can be released from the man immediately, so that I can get close to you. Whether you accept me or not, it will be his business later. Most importantly I will convince you, if I am not the same as the man you mean.
Marisa who saw sincerity from the eyes of her best friend. Slowly the girl just nodded her head.
"Hopefully you won't leave me again, Stev. Because you are the best friend I have." said Marisa with a bitter smile.
The girl is still holding a clear circle that has filled her eyes. Even the man who was currently still in front of her, could also see the dew that was almost dripping from both corners of the young girl's eyes.
"Cry, if it can make you feel relieved! Because after this, I promise there will be no crying of sorrow in your life. Because then I'll make you cry with happiness." Steven said.
Just finished Steven said that, Marisa's crying finally broke. Then the girl directly covered her face with both her hands.
At first Steven just let Marisa vent all her emotions and pain. But all of that did not last long, as the man directly approached the girl and immediately hugged her.
"Get out all that pain, Ris. And then replace that pain with happiness. Aren't you a strong and tough girl? So you should be able to get up immediately and not be too long slumped in this sadness." said Steven.
Marisa who had felt a little calm, now immediately raised her head. Right at that moment their gazes met each other and locked for a moment.
'Beautiful, sweet and adorable.' Steven's inner.
'It turns out that when viewed from this close, Steven looks very handsome and perfect.' Marisa's inner self.
However, Marisa was instantly awakened. Now immediately push Steven's burly body and all that makes Steven feel a little surprised.
"Ris, why are you suddenly pushing me? I almost fell, if only I wasn't on standby." protested Steven.
Marisa, who felt guilty for pushing the man's body, was now only able to curse herself with a faint smile.
Instantly the cry immediately stopped, when he saw Steven's sullen face that looked very funny. At least Marisa was a little relieved, because when she was down there were still people who cared about her besides her parents.
"Thank you, Stev. Due to your presence, it slightly alleviates this pain. Yes, at least your silly behavior and attention, a little can cheer me up." said Marisa while displaying a row of white teeth.
Steven who again saw the sweet smile of the girl in front of him, now immediately returned with a sweet smile as well.
"Together, Ris. I'll always be ready to be your clown, so I can always see this sweet smile" Steven said.
"Huh? What Stev? Your last words were not heard by me. Try repeating it again!" marisa Pinta.
Steven was immediately shocked. Because her last sentence was deliberately not said clearly, so that Marisa could not hear it.
"What's? I didn't say anything, Risa. Maybe you heard it wrong." Steven.
