The Second Lead Fate
The Hundred and Fourteen

Ambar is in two options. He looked towards the delivery design on the left and then the right. The left one is very simple with white flower decoration inside the box. The right is more luxurious and elegant at the same time.

"So which one is my brother?" ask employee.

"Our client this time likes something that smells of gold. But her future husband likes something simple. Should we obey the taste of the bride or the groom? But this is a delivery for the bride. So we'd better use the right one"

"Good brother"

All is going well for Ambar stores these days. Its store customers have increased nearly fifty percent since the SME exhibition event in Senayan last month. He should be much grateful to be chosen to attend the exhibition. His phone suddenly rang as he began to busy determining the color theme of one of his customers' wedding invitations for the next four months.

"Hello. Assalamualaikum"

There was no answer to the greeting he said. Then came the voice of ****** a woman. Ambar saw the name on his phone screen and was shocked. It was Feli who contacted him.

"Flu. How are you?" ask her cheerfully. Just this time his best friend was in touch since the wedding a few months ago.

"You ... in Jakarta?"

"Yes. Fel, I want to apologize for not congratulating you on your pregnancy ... . Congratulations huh?"

"I think you should apologize also about the other Mbar"

"What?"

Why does Ambar feel like Feli is angry right now? His voice sounded annoyed.

"I want to see you" said Feli firmly.

"In Bali?"

"Yes. I can't go anywhere about being pregnant with Adhi's child"

"Oh. Okay. I was busy today until Friday. What about Saturday tomorrow?"

"okay"

"See you ... " Not done talking Feli has hung up. It seems that his best friend is having problems but Ambar has no premonition.

Ambar continued his work as usual and went home around ten p.m. He immediately took a bath and ate at the request of his sensitive mother as well. Why is she dealing with such a sensitive woman today? Mother because of her father. And Feli with her pregnancy. After eating, he opened the curtain and looked towards the dark sky of Jakarta.

"There are no stars at all" he commented, then sat in front of the window for a while and enjoyed his solitude. Ambar had no idea someone was watching him from the alley. Stand there and hold a deepening longing for her.

In the morning Ambar was again preoccupied by the work in his shop. He left early in the morning and came home late at night, not having the chance to meet anyone. And Saturday came. From the night before, Ambar had already prepared for his departure. He also told his mother and father.

"Greetings to Feli from mom"

"Yes Ma'am"

Ambar finally leaves for Bali and promises to meet with Feli in the afternoon at the hotel restaurant that he will stay until tomorrow. He did not forget to bring something to his best friend who might be craving it. Without knowing that his arrival might hurt his heart.

"Fel" he said when he saw Feli coming to the restaurant. His best friend was wearing a short, knee-length white dress. Feli looked beautiful as usual, despite being pregnant. But his best friend's stomach didn't seem too big. Probably because this was Feli's first pregnancy.

"Don't pretend anymore!" said Feli surprising Ambar. He came here in hopes of making a friendship that had been tenuous since the marriage of Feli. But, he was immediately reviled with various accusations from his best friend's mouth.

"You can betray your best friend. How can you cheat with Adhi? He's my husband, Mbar. We'll have kids too. Do you have a lot of heart, Mbar?"

Ambar could only be stunned to hear all of Feli's accusations of not wanting to fight in front of this many people.

"You ... hide behind the hijab but dare to tease your own best friend's husband. Where is your relationship? Are you guys making love behind my back? Did you sleep with my husband?" continued Feli with a tone of voice that was getting higher. It seems that Ambar can no longer tolerate Feli's accusations. He had to fight because his best friend had brought his father with him.

"Flu. I ... "

It's not over yet that he wants to defend himself. A woman came to his side and slapped Feli hard.

"You said that too, Fel. I don't know if you're the one who thinks you are!"

"Rea! You know" Ambar was very surprised by the presence of Rea that he never suspected.

"Ambar never cheated on your husband. Don't blame Ambar for a marriage that doesn't live up to your expectations!"

"So you're fighting Ambar Re? You're my best friend too"

"What friend? You were caged when I insulted Adhi in front of a lot of people. You are also just smiling like a fool, there is no intention to defend me"

"That's another problem Re. Ambar has cheated on Adhi. They cheated on me behind my back!"

"When?? I dare guarantee Ambar never cheated on Adhi. Because what? Because Ambar refused Adhi who was not married to you at that time!!"

Ambar took a long breath. Since when did Rea know what happened that night? He never said anything about it to anyone. Hearing Rea's story, made Feli a little calm. Now the three of them sat quietly in the middle of the restaurant which was likely to immediately throw the three away for making a fuss.

"Flu. I ... never cheated on your husband. Never have. I can't swear but I'm .. I'll never do that"

Feli still threw away his face. I don't want to look at him at all.

"Ambar likes Adhi. But what is he doing? There's nothing. He even supports Adhi in love with you. Take you out of Danial's hand. Marry you. Then how can you think that Ambar is cheating with Adhi?"

"You like my husband? Since when?" asked Feli as if he was still accusing her. Ambar has to straighten things out. He didn't want Feli to feel tormented by this. Especially her best friend is pregnant young.

"Sorry Fel. I liked Adhi at the time. Not anymore. I know the limits and you also understand that I will not do anything with my best friend's husband. You can hold my words Fel" explained Ambar trying to make Feli understand.

"Don't consider yourself holy Fel. You also love Adhi even though he is engaged to his brother" added Rea. Rea's words seemed to have really reached the house of Feli's ears. Her pregnant friend was crying. It's sad to see Feli like that. What exactly did that guy do to make his wife like this? Did Boss Kenzo have an affair with another woman? Is it possible that the guy did it after they met a few months ago? Ambar does not understand the married life that is now being lived by Feli. Though he was happy when he saw Feli happy. Now Feli did not look happy at all. Especially with tears that continuously slid down his cheeks.

Ambar looked towards Rea and then hugged Feli's thin body which was getting thinner.
