REIJI

I went up a little bit when Lia sneered at me saying,

“Best friends.... Whoa!.... Where there is a man who just loves his best friend 300 million if there is no frills behind him..”.

I know what Lia said, but still three question words about the meaning of Lia's words triggered spontaneously from my mouth.

With Avi still among us, Lia emphasized again the sentence was about no man who freely gave money to his best friend if there was no frills behind him.

The concubine!

That's what Lia emphasized at the end of her sentence about me helping Shirly by giving her money every month all this time and the 300 million I meant for Argan.

And me?

My blood was boiling hearing Lia's accusations that were so demeaning to me.

Has she forgotten how much I fought for her love for me all this time?

Turn my brain around how I can so he can love me as much as I love him.

But she lightly accused me of keeping Irly as my mistress. Just incredible!

“Jaga your greeting Lia!”

I thrust out sharply quickly Lia's words that humbled me earlier.

My emotions began to crank.

Avi may be surprised, because for the rest of his life he just heard me exclaim furiously. Plus I also spontaneously pointed my index finger at Lia with a piercing and sharp gaze. Which I thought, if after that Lia would turn around and go into the room while slamming the door.

But my guess is wrong.

***

It was wrong with Reiji.

Instead of doing what Reiji thought, or at least Malia quietly-Malia even more repulsed and targeted Reiji and led to a harsh affirmation that asked Reiji to immediately divorce him.

Towed Reiji it felt, hearing the words of Malia who forced to divorce his wife immediately. Reiji was silent later.

Malia was not silent either. Even continue to make urgent remarks other than continuing to search for Reiji. It was as if Malia had deliberately ignited Reiji's anger that Malia was enveloping her husband.

Because Malia was also quite aware, for her rude and slightly degrading words Reiji had said before.

Emotions are the cause.

And on the basis of emotion, Malia thought Reiji would be triggered-shrunk out of his emotions, until Reiji said, “OK if it wants you. We're divorced!”

But not.

The words did not come out of Reiji's mouth.

The man was indeed emotional, but Reiji had enough control over him.

Besides Reiji was quite shocked with Malia's fiery attitude asking him to divorce his wife.

Reiji remained silent. Stuck in his place. Staring at Malia with a gripping feeling, with her emotions starting to drop. Replacing with sadness.

Even the regret in Reiji's heart, why he could get ignited like that by snapping while pointing his index finger at Malia who Reiji was terribly offended by what he did.

Because Malia's words about her that had already twice banged on her because of Shirly, were imprinted on Reiji's mind. And if I'm honest, actually when he yelled at Malia while in Shirly's apartment, Reiji did it unconsciously. Spontaneous, over her panic at Shirly's boy whose head was stumbling violently on Shirly's bedwood.

***

Reiji who was silent as he looked at Malia with a stare and heart that drowned in shock, then was startled by the sound of Avi's snapping. Which is next, Malia immediately silenced.

Reiji was still glued to his place, when Avi had gently persuaded Malia. But Reiji's heart was broken once again by Malia, when his wife told Avi not to stay at her apartment and Malia then said that Malia would go with Avi.

Then Avi persuades Malia again to go to her room and Reiji.

And Malia nodded her head in agreement and then immediately turned around, stepping towards her room and Reiji.

REIJI

I was about to chase after Lia who came into our room in the apartment.

But Avi coded me with his arm and his hand which were directed at me.

Short, and without words. But I understand Avi's code.

As if to say, “Lo here only first, cool the same head heart.”

Although my head and heart were no longer hot because of the emotions that had risen due to Lia's accusations that I valued was quite demeaning to me, but I know what Avi meant if it would be free if I approached Lia right now.

Where I'm sure, Lia's still rolling emotions at me. And Avi will try to make Lia drown out, maybe even get rid of her emotions on me that-hopefully. Lia's expression when asking for my talaq has made me shocked by her so dangerous.

Then told Avi not to stay in our apartment, but Lia went with Avi. And if that happens, then my marriage to Lia will be on the edge. Nah!

That can't happen!

I will do anything to save my marriage to Lia.

Because our marriage involves feelings, especially my feelings. I didn't want my marriage to run aground, and then I lost the woman I loved. And for that, I can do anything.

---

As long as Avi was inside my room and Lia, I was overwhelmed by the thought of many things - especially how I apologized to Lia.

She wanted to share with Avi, but my sister was with Lia. And I have to find a way before Avi finishes talking to Lia.

I was offended by some of the words that Lia pointed at me, but a little bit I realized if the harm was in me if it was related to Irly. So my feelings for Lia I just buried it.

Remember when Lia was looking for me because I was carrying traces of my past with Irly, and I immediately remembered the early days of my marriage and Lia when she found my box where there was my photo album and it contained photos of my and Irly's closeness.

Then I found a close-up photo of Irly on one of the collection novels, which I had even forgotten about. And the photo album that I brought and then Lia saw also not uplek all just a photo of Irly or a picture of me alone just a woman who would now be called as a former friend.

But in fact, Lia was having a problem with that.

The problem that I had clarified, and Lia also agreed to consider the problem traces my past was resolved - but in fact Lia revealed again.

Okay I was wrong. In this case I am less sensitive.

Then about me giving money to Irly all this time, I reneged on a promise to stay away from Irly, but even though it wasn't Irly who was the main reason I disavowed and lied to Lia but Argan-for this, I realized I was wrong.

Too naive to help a best friend, and hide it from Lia.

Then Lia's hunch about me yelling at her because of Irly. Let's just say I was wrong.

Even though I had a spontaneous clash of surprise and panic over Argan and I didn't even bother.

All my mistakes Lia dictated, including my earlier snaps.

The one Lia thinks I'm snapping at her because of her condescending words to Irly.

Though that was what I meant to myself, so that Lia would not look so low on me.

But Lia concluded things differently. And whatever it is, I'm cornered right now - a little depressed because I remember how Lia asked for a divorce from me earlier. What Lia said out loud and fiery.

That's what's weighing on me right now, and waiting for Avi and Lia in my room and Lia it makes me very nervous.

Afraid that Lia would still insist on getting divorced from me, though I'm sure Avi commented on her disapproval if Lia and I divorced.

And Oh Tuhaan, I didn't cheat until adultery!

Why would Lia have to come after me to divorce her like that?

It was easy for divorce to come out of her mouth.

He said he loved me?!

But with so much ease Lia asked me to drop the talaq on her just because the things I felt were not as fatal as betraying our marriage.

Don't you think Lia's statement that she said she loved me was just from her mouth, hasn't come from her heart?

Hhh....

---

But whatever it is, it's not really Lia who loves me.

All I thought about was one, that I wouldn't be willing to divorce her.

I won't let my marriage break down because of my insensitivity or because of Lia's ego and emotions.

Anything I would do to make a divorce between me and Lia, including if I had to kneel apologizing to her.

I'll hold on as hard as I can, even if I have to drag Lia into our room and lock myself in there with her. Quoting one word that Lia had said earlier,

“Fuck with everything!”

Lia I won't divorce, nor will I let her go from our apartment now even with an alibi—Lia that needs to calm down.

And now I was waiting anxiously for the door of my room and Lia opened, and was impatient. It had only been a few minutes that Avi and Lia were in my room and Lia had the door closed, but it was like I had been waiting for a century.

---

And when a few dozen minutes passed, my ear which I sharpened in my seat while propping up my head—heard the sound of the door of my room knob that was about to be opened.

Where I quickly stood straight from my seat and stared focused towards my room with Lia. Then if Lia looks out with a suitcase, then I'll immediately drag her back to the room.

Please if Lia wants to run amok all by throwing me using the things in our room because I do not accept that I prevent her from leaving. Leaking this head later I don't care.

Yeah who knew Lia threw me in with her big laptop?

Pretty heavy.

So sure it leaks like it's my head if Lia hits me with it.

But luckily my silly shadow didn't happen, because all I saw came out of my room and Lia was Avi.

“Vi...”.

“Lia is okay if you want to go samperin.”

“Still Yes Vi?—“

“Ya equally” Avi. “But if your emotions are still nyisa even a little mending do not.”

I smiled at Avi's warning just now. “Udah no small item...” replied me.

Avi then smiled as well. “Good if that...” said Avi then while patting my arm softly. “Gue knows there are words Lia who offended your feelings. But position yourself so she is now. And I know, your mind is able to reduce your emotions now.”

“In addition I do not want to lose your friend,” reply me to Avi's speech, where Avi smiled amusedly later.

“Bucin my brother now“ Avi is snorting and I snort amusedly respond to him.

“Mending bucin than so miserable widower.”

My reply was to the teased smiling Avi then.

***

“Gue stay to room Yes Vi?—“

“Take your time—“

“Thanks,” Reiji who previously said goodbye to Avi to approach Malia in their room, do not hesitate to say thank you to his sister.

“Do not exit before bail—“

“OK,” Reiji said while nodding and smiling at Avi.

Then Reiji hastened his steps towards his room and Malia.

Open the door slowly, which Avi did not close.

Then Reiji closed the door after he entered his room and Malia.

Then Reiji was momentarily silent in place, looking at Malia who was lying on her side towards the window of their room.

***

‘Lia sleep?’

Reiji asked in his heart.

‘But Avi said it was okay if I wanted Samperin Lia. Does Lia not sleep mean?-’

Then Reiji answered the question in his own heart, staying in his mind.

‘It looks like Lia is not sleeping..’ whispered Reiji when he saw a little movement Malia who seemed to massage one side of her head.

Then Reiji steadied his steps slowly, to approach Malia who was lying on her side on their bed.

‘I don't want to lose you, Yang.’

Reiji whispered again in his heart and looked at Malia with a grievous feeling.

“I'm sorry, Yang.... Sorry...any punishment I receive. but please.... Yang.... don't...”.

***

“Hhh....” heard Malia's rather heavy breathing, after Reiji's shrill voice sounded in her ear. Along with Reiji who hugged her from behind. But Malia did not try to let go of Reiji's embrace.

“I didn't mean to snap at you, Yang. No, not before.... Everything is spontaneous I do without any rough intention with you. And not—sorry if I call her name—not because of Irly if I snapped you earlier. Except because I don't accept the accusation that you think that I've been playing with Irly all this time. There isn't, Yang. There's not.... No one ever did that senista thing, even before I married you. Ga with Irly or any woman, especially after we marry—“

“....”

“And sorry, if I'm still insensitive in your eyes. Ga honest and disavow the same promise I made awayin Irly—“

“Quite once you name him,” sambar Malia. “Get me horrified.”

“Iya, sorry.”

Reiji answered quickly.

“Now freelance.”

“Engga Yang, I don't want—“

“I know ya? Want to kill me You hit me this tight?” malia half sewot.

“Eh, sorry Yang, sorry. I thought you released what you meant let you go from I—“

“That's the one I want—“

“Yang—“

“Tast.”

***

“You maafin me, Yang. Want to give me a second chance to fix my mistake to you this?..” lick Reiji.

Malia took a long breath later. “Ya beware first! I'm gonna sit down...”

“Oh yes, sorry sorry.”

Reiji immediately released his embrace from Malia.

“Sorry to me, Yang—“

“Hhh.

Malia mend**h again rather heavily after she sat leaning on the bed\, and Reiji immediately clasped her hands while glancing softly and looked at her hoping for pity.

“You know me, you want what—don't divorce but. Besides that anyway. Don't divorce, don't leave. Separate rooms I can still accept. Any condition Which, I sell to make my mistake to kamu—“

“Yakin you can lacquer the terms I love?”

Malia asked Reiji a question.

“God willing is sure, if it has nothing to do with the separation between us—“

“OK—“

***

Malia then looked at Reiji who was waiting for her to say again, saying the condition that Malia wanted Reiji to do as proof that Reiji could do anything as long as Malia forgave him.

Reiji himself was a bit worried waiting for Malia to say what conditions would his wife give for a proof.

Because honestly, though, at this time Reiji was not able to think much and guess what was in his wife's head was—walau Malia had said ‘oke’ if the condition was no relationship with the name of separation between them.

“What are your terms, Yang?” reiji asked while one hand was still holding Malia's hand, and another one was holding some Malia's hair which Reiji then slipped behind her ear. “If I could do it now, I wouldn't delay. As much as I live...”.

“One time only my conditions..”.

Malia answered Reiji's words quickly.

“Request all the money you ever gave back to the masked pelacor seed of that friend.”
