"Let's Menta, we go home, it's going to rain" Runi stroked the back of his faithful friend sitting in front of the son's belly button. After a long battle Menta for nine months more, finally fate said another, he was forced to accept the bitter reality of losing his son whom he had been fighting for.
"Yes" only a soft answer could be heard from Menta's mouth. A week has passed since his son Junior died, and almost every day the baby's mother always comes to his tomb which is not far from the family home complex in the capital, Indonesia, just to stare at the tiny headstone bearing Junior's name, his son with Raf.
"Runi," Menta looked at her best friend.
"Yes?" the answer.
"I want to watch a movie in the cinema" she said with a trembling voice holding back her cries.
"Okay, let's go to the mall" Runi who understands that her best friend is just trying to divert her sad thoughts and then drives her car to Anderson's mall.
"What do you want to see?" Runy asked.
"Fororor alone, find the seat that is the most in the back corner yes" Menta replied.
"OK" despite the fact that Runi is afraid of horror films, but to make his best friend happy he also bought tickets for both of them.
"This is it" he showed Menta two tickets.
"Let's go in" Menta walked quickly without any concern for the surroundings at all, while Runi just followed from behind.
"Hiks hiks hyks" sobs broke out as the horror film showed scenes of horrific scenes.
"This" Runi thrust a tissue to Menta. He had suspected that Menta did not really want to watch, but just wanted to cry with satisfaction without being seen and heard by anyone but himself.
"Thank you" Menta took the tissue pack from Runi's hand.
The gripping atmosphere due to the spooky scenes and the screams of the spectators did not scare the two of them at all. Menta who was busy with her sadness and Runi who was busy paying attention to Menta, did not even stare at the cinema screen for a second. Even if under normal conditions, both of them will scream hysterically and close their eyes so afraid.
..........
"Is it better?" Runi held Menta's hand as they came out of the cinema.
"Yes, thank you" Menta smiled with relief after all of her sad emotions spilled for almost two hours inside the performance building.
"How about we have lunch now? crying must be reported? I'm the only one who doesn't cry so hungry!" Runi held her stomach.
"Okay, let's eat to have the energy to live!" Menta who has committed to move on then nodded optimistically.
"Yumoo!!" the two of them walked to their favorite place to eat at High School.
"What do you want to eat?" Runy asked.
"Regulate" replied Menta.
"OK" because they both already have their favorite menu, then Runi oun then order it.
"Woahhhhhh was delicious" either because of hunger or because they were in an emotional state, both of them ate without regard for their surroundings.
"I want to go dong!" I ordered the same menu a second time. Sadness and stress enough to make the energy disappear a lot.
"Okay, I ordered ya" Runi then ordered again for her best friend, while herself was full.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten so well" Menta seemed to have thrown away all her bad memories in the cinema.
"Slow down, no one asked" Runi was happy to see his best friend could return to eating greedily after all this time he always could not eat well because pregnant and giving birth and losing his baby.
"I'm going to go to the toilet for a second" and then he stands up.
"OK" nodded Menta without taking her eyes off her food.
..........
BRUKK...
"Awwwww" Runi grimaced in pain as she hit someone walking from the opposite direction.
"Sorry miss, I didn't accidentally" the person said as he held onto Runi's nearly fallen body.
"Yes no ap," his sentence stopped when he found out the person who hit him was Rich.
"Are you okay?" Rich stared at the familiar face of Runi but forgot where he had met.
"Yes I'm fine, excuse me" prepare to leave to dodge.
"Hey miss wait, have we met before?" Rich held onto Runi's arm.
"No, you may be the wrong person" is still evasive.
"But I seem to know your face very well, but where do you?" Rich thought quickly.
"No way, I'm not a person here" then took a thousand steps turning around and left quickly.
"Hey miss wait!!" casanova was about to catch up but was restrained by Raf who suddenly appeared from inside the toilet.
"Who are you calling to?" Raf dyed because Runi had disappeared.
"That's a girl I seem to know very well, but I don't know where!" Rich is still very curious.
"Ck, of course you forgot, your girl is already uncountable!" Raf sneered cynically.
"No, she's not one of them, I'm sure it is, but I forgot who she is, but her face is so familiar, but I don't have a clue!" Rich is like a fool.
"But, but, but it's just, ah don't keep bullshit!" Raf, who is upset with his cousin's attitude, then walks away without caring about Rich again.
"Heyyy, you fucking cousin, just play stay!" finally followed with a grumbling mouth.
..........
"Why are you such a man of infidelity?" Menta who saw Runi back with a panicked face asked.
"Have you finished eating?" ask her without answering the question asked by her best friend.
"Already" while pointing at two clean food portions.
"Then let's go home!" he stood towards the cashier's table.
"You why the hell? why is that his attitude suddenly?" Menta.
"Later I tell you" rushed to his car.
After his car walked away from Anderson mall and felt quite safe, then Runi told all the chronology of the incident to Menta. He who still hates Rich promised not to say hello to the man until anytime, even if he had to meet, then he would as much as possible give distance to him.
