MALIA

“If I had known, that I would love this same Lia and if I hadn't been so naive as to make me feel responsible to lo and Argan—even until I married Lia. Until I stepped over his head. Related to that, I'm sorry. Hugely. So I ask the same lo, from now on far away from my life including do not you take Argan again in front of me, because I will not care.”

I was speechless in amazement at Rei after I heard the long sentence he had pointed at Shirly. And somehow the expressions of the other four people who were with me and Rei at this time aside from Shirly's son who was still crying in her mother's arms, were, what was clear was that I was astonished after Rei said after his long speech just now to Shirly earlier. And Shirly looks pias. In addition to his eyes that previously only glazed, now it looks wet.

After Rei who was still talking to Shirly focused on looking at the woman said,

“What do you realize, with the presence of lo now following your attitude?  you don't look like a friend. From the last chat until your presence and attitude now, you even impressed like a woman who has no self-esteem by using your child to get my attention.”.

“Ji—“

“Last time before I've said the same lo, my wife has expressed her dislike of my friendship and lo and I choose to follow her, why? Because I love him. I'm bucin mampus according to you? whatever! I really don’t care. Obviously I don't want to lose Lia..”.

I heard that Abbas and Aldo were going to ambush Rei after they saw Shirly shed her tears— maybe not the heart of their female friend who seemed really depressed by Rei's words, because it sounded like the words that came out of my husband's mouth to Shirly.

But Abbas and Aldo did not continue to talk, when Rei who returned to voice while looking at one by one his friends quickly. Then Rei turned to look at Shirly again. Even Irfan who previously seemed to be defending Shirly, now just shut up. After that—before Rei threw his booing words at Shirly, Rei first let out the words that he addressed to Irfan.

***

“Yes I just do not willing if Reiji mutusin his friendship with me including him being cruel with Argan who has been too late to love him, just because—“

“By the way ugly again about my wife, I ripped the mouth lo—“

“Rei...”

“Ji...”.

“Lo, Fan. Why do you have to interfere too dalem about me and Irly when Babas already tell you about my affirmation regarding my friendship relationship with Irly? – consider lo care with him and Argan. Is it the same as lo care Qilla? – do not answer. Care lo on Irly more or less the same as I used to be. Excessive for the size of a friend and it is wrong when you have chosen a partner in your life. Qilla may not be your wife yet, but most of all when I have chosen Lia I can still decide to make her a priority in the end even though lately I was able to forget it because of Argan. Ga appreciate his efforts in making me happy because I was too worried about Argan's condition at that time.”.

“....”

“But most excited, if at the same time Lia got the same thing on Qilla on the day Argan angfal, I would choose to accompany her in the hospital. But lo? ... lo ninggalin Qilla who just finished the accident was quite serious at that time just because Irly had a fever. Sorry if you didn't know about it, La—“

“Gue know, Rei.”

“Qilla and Lia are more or less the same. Both still want to survive with their partners who even devote attention to other women who even though the context is only friends. Sorry, if I want to share myself with you. But it's better to be bucin slumped than to be an insensitive couple. Better—make me, lose friends than lose the woman I love and love me because when I am old, Lia who will certainly be on my side to take care and care of me. Although I believe that you will all help me manage and care for me in the name of friendship. But it's not possible, if lo-Babas or Aldo will be 24 hours to take care of me when I'm sick or I'm old? Of course, because you all have your own life—“

“....”

“But Lia, I'm sure he'll always be there for me when I'm sick and when I'm old. 24/7, and I'm not gonna squander on that, he won't risk losing her. And my friendship with Irly has a big risk I lost the woman I love who even married, of course I choose the woman I love and love me the same. Understand lo?—“

REIJI

Although Lia is sometimes stubborn, or true as Irly and Irfan say that Lia is jealous blindly of Irly – still I can not accept if someone says bad things about Lia. Even if it's my own best friend.

I never told Lia about her stubbornness for keeping the feelings of the wife and the woman I loved. So how could I let someone else just drop Lia like that in front of my eyes?

Want someone else who has nothing to do with me or I don't know, or my best friend - the title is I don't accept if they say bad things about Lia who though not insulted him very much. But still, I'm Not Going to Accept That.

“Dan lo...” after I reposted Irfan, I immediately turned to Irly while I pointed my index finger spontaneously at her because I was already furious enough to be made by Irly.

Yeah how am I not mad?

I have confirmed to him directly and via chat that for Lia's sake I have to decide my friendship with him.

But Irly seemed to take it lightly.

Well, there's a lot of my fault with Irly's attitude.

Because of my attitude later after Irly returned to the midst of me, Babas, Aldo and Irfan—a little bit I still pay my attention to him even though I actually more accurately said to pay attention to Argan.

But still, Irly's getting here to be so annoying and now it's upsetting me so much.

The series of sentences in the last chat had provoked Lia so much that we had a big fight.

I've reaffirmed through Babas other than I blocked the number, but Irly just keeps trying to corner me, and now?.... he even brought Argan to my residence and Lia— - even outside the lobby of the building. But still Irly was like carrying gasoline ready to ignite a fire between me and Lia that had not been extinguished long ago.

Even on the way to the apartment, Lia and I had a bit of a fight. And just now I started to improve Lia who fortunately did not baper because she had a dispute with me, because Lia would welcome my hand and walk with meandering L—eh instead Irly nongol and let Argan just come to me, because she wanted to welcome me, and try to heat up Lia with her words—which I caught with my eyes and ears.

“What do you realize, with the presence of lo now following your attitude?  you don't look like a friend. From the last chat until your presence and attitude now, you even impressed like a woman who has no self-esteem by using your child to get my attention.”.

So sorry, if finally my words include a sentence that seems to demean Irly. But yes, I just voiced my opinion honestly—besides being so annoyed at Irly who just kept putting herself as a victim of Lia, again—by including Argan, who, which makes me lose respect for Irly who previously had admired as a single parent tough.

But with Irly's attitude as it is now, my admiration evaporated already on her. There I became so annoyed at Irly, the last one he said was still trying to blame Lia other than to corner me. So sorry Ir, if I can't bear to demean you with my words—plus you continue to urge me to use Argan, which in fact I can't give sympathy anymore. Because—indeed Argan there is no harm in the affairs of friendship that broke up, but a little presence of the child and his call to me related to the harmony of my household and Lia who still did not return as before.

“On your attention to the Shirly emang already do not want me to think again.”

“But the relationship of his son to you, that still makes my heart uncomfortable.”

“Because for me he has stepped in our child candidates who do not even exist.”

“Yes he considers you his father?”

“I ga rela.”

“Still not willing, the right of my child who should first pin the call ‘Papi’ to you in advance with other girls...”.

Because this.

Lia's words on the way from her parents' house to our apartment, which made me and Lia had a little tense.

Which may be childish, but I still try to understand Lia's feelings like that with how my relationship and Argan's all along I have to respect the wishes of the wife who is the woman I love.

Where I really want a child born from the belly of Lia, and for that sake of—tentunya I have to take seriously Lia's remarks related to Argan that makes him still kekeh not to continue the promil that is already half way, even the success rate is positive.

---

“Yuk, Yang...” my words that I felt hurtful to Irly became the cover of my conversation with her, including with my three best friends. I immediately grabbed Lia's hand more tightly I held it to immediately invite her to leave from where we are now.

It's up to me to say I have no ethics or no heart.

Or maybe after this, not only my friendship and Irly ended—but also with Babas and Aldo, and with Irfan who was so defending Irly earlier.

“Once again—“

Instead of wanting to quickly take her away from where we are now and stay away from my three best friends including Irly and Argan as well as Qilla who is Irfan's fiance, Irfan, I paused— because I remembered about my friendship with Irly. What I really want to affirm once again, all in front of many witnesses, including Lia.

“Friendship lo and I, I assume it's over. It's not just that. From now on, I don't want any business with you and anything related to your life. Far-away from me, far-away from my wife, far-away from our life—“

“Tetep lo have the same Argan, Ji?...” Once again Irly recited my words, with her teary-eyed self looking at me with compassion. And once again, he brought Argan—entah to persuade or corner me.

But really, I don't care.

“Stop. Ir. Lo more and make me sick,” I mukas fast Irly say then, “Don't ever come here again, because I won't hesitate to make the security guard this building for ngusir lo. Don't ever show up with me again, if you don't want me to embarrass you more than this without or with Argan. I will not hesitate to humiliate you if you still try to harass me and my wife.”

I spoke again to Irly flatly, but full of emphasis and affirmation.

And I'm serious about my words.  It is up to me to be judged outrageous, heartless and cruel.

I just want to live quietly with my wife and the woman I love, without any more challenges from her to divorce.

Besides I hope, if after this - after seeing my antipathy directly on Irly with her eyes, Lia will change her decision to stop the program in we have a baby.

Which is the opposite, Lia wants to run the promil again.

It's okay to repeat from the beginning. The important thing is that I can have the fruit of my love and Lia in our marriage.

And it will be as harmonious as the marriage of our parents.
