“Ka-you?—“


“Hai, Lia...” greet a man standing smiling at Malia, where Reiji's wife was visibly surprised by the man's whereabouts.


The man smiled amiably, but Malia held her breath.


Because the man wasn't a waitress delivering his order - as Malia had previously thought.


“How are you?..”


“Why, you can be here... Irsyad?.”


“Destiny,” answered him, and Malia was momentarily silent.


“You, not... have you left Jakarta?” malia said later, asking a little nervously.


The man who was Irsyad did not answer immediately, but he smiled at Malia. “Can I sit?—“


“A—“


“I saw you log in earlier—“


“I don't invite you to take your place here, Irsyad..” Malia said to Irsyad who has sat beside Malia.


“I welcome myself..”.


“But this is my table, and I reserve the right not to give you permission to join me—“


“Why are you so sentiments with me now, Li?”


Irsyad recited Malia's words.


Unlike Malia who looks uncomfortable, Irsyad looks relaxed.


“Ka—“


“Excuse me, Sister..”


Malia's speech, which was about to respond to Irsyad's previous question, was interrupted by the arrival of a restaurant waiter who brought Malia's order.


“You guys ask bill yes, mba?” malia said as the waiter placed Malia's drink.


Where the waiter of the restaurant immediately nodded in agreement with Malia's request just now.


“All my bills too yes?” irsyad then spoke. “So I already info if moved table.”


“Oh Yes, Brother..”


“Dan Bill this friend of mine, just unite with mine.”


“Eh ga—“


“I wait ya?”


Malia who was about to give her rejection to Irsyad's speech was not until she continued her sentence, because Irsyad slightly raised her hand before Malia, as if to prevent Malia from speaking.

REIJI


“Maybe Lia is already in the apartment, so you just go there. I've slept, so your phone is not answered.”


The words my parents and my in-laws said, which they said more or less the same. And that's why I decided to go back to my apartment and Lia even when I called them, I had already confirmed Lia's whereabouts in our apartment and she wasn't there.


And I had no choice but to go back to my apartment and Lia's, because I didn't find her at the hotel I thought Lia was there.


“Yang?”


I tried calling Lia again when I arrived.


Hope, if Lia is already in our apartment unit.


But not yet.


Even the signs that Lia might stop for a while and leave are not there.


And I exhaled once again my breath with weight, for some time today.


***


But once Reiji suggested to stay patient and calm, the reality was that Reiji's heart could not be that calm, with him starting to have difficulty contacting Malia-because after a few hours after Reiji had time to send a chat and try to contact Malia, the wife's phone is no longer active.


‘Duh, Liaa... you really want to make me worry gini anyway??...’


The heart monologue Reiji believes Malia has disabled her cell phone.


‘Where to try I should find him this?!..’ Reiji nodded again. ‘Gue contact Avi aja what?...’


***


‘Kalo Avi has not contacted me until now, Lia means he has not told me about the incident. And if I call Avi nanyain does Lia contact him, tuh son must be kepo not kepalang!... or I tell the same story Avi?... maybe he can give you a solution, maybe he can give you a solution, but he will not be a kepalang, or know about where Lia is hiding.. eeuumm..


Reiji. But then Reiji shook his head slowly.


‘*But if I tell you, y*ang there I sprayed abis-out with the Avi!.’


Reiji monologued again in his heart.


Then Reiji grabbed his phone again, and checked the liveliness of Malia's phone again.


Yang, please go home. We need to talk.


Argan's not my son and Shirly's. Nor is my son of any woman.


I apologize again for snapping you earlier. If you want to snatch me back please. I'm in the apartment. You want to slap me, please. But please, go home.


“CK!” decak Reiji, because all the chat he sent was still the same status. Tick one. “Tomorrow I must nyamperin again Lia to his office???.” muttered Reiji.


Then he placed his cell phone on the living room table of his apartment unit and Lia, and Reiji moved to clean up the pilot's uniform.


***


Somewhere else...


“Dan Bill this friend of mine, just unite with mine.”


“Eh ga—“


“I wait ya?”


“Good, Kak—“


“Eh—“


“Ga need to be enlarged Lia,” said Irsyad.


“Oke, I accept your treat. But now you can stay with me alone?”


“Can. But I want to stay here..” said Irsyad.


***


Malia is made wary by Irsyad, who sounds forced to be by her side. ‘Kalo gini, I hope Rei can find me here than I have to nanggepin the Irsyad, which seems more cool gini?—“


“Sorry, if I sound maksa. But like you again need a chat friend to share your disappointment, Lia—“


‘Eh?..’


Malia had just gasped, after she heard Irsyad speak.


Then Malia caught Irsyad's sentence that sounded ambiguous in her ear.


But Malia's incomplete study, Irsyad has spoken again.


“Aren't you currently disappointed, Lia?..“


“You mean?—“


“You just found out that your husband is cheating, don't you?—“


“You—“


“You should choose me, Lia—“


“So you, the mysterious person who sent the photos???..”


“Iya.”
