TRUE LOVE For MAYA
MY FAULT REDEEMER

Lendra left the caffe one hour after Lingga's departure. The young man was very understanding of the heart shock that was being experienced by Linga. Some days do not meet and send messages, do not close the reality that exists, he also misses Maya, longing that he must be able to break. He would only take Maya if Lingga wasted it.

Lendra's two hands are holding two handlebars with the body firmly on top of the sport bike. Through the dusty streets by noon. His heart is broken, his heart is in the middle of an intersection. As he releases Maya to the Linga, he slashes it out, a love that is just about to grow. But the root is still there and has not died out completely.

Until at the junction of the red light, Lendra turned his motor speed to the right towards the rose alley where he had lowered Maya. Arriving right in front of the alley, he turned off his roaring motor sport engine.

Spending 50 thousand, Lendra left the motorbike in front of a roadside stall not far from the alley.

"Titip yes sir.."

"Yes, take it easy. Aman.." a thin-bodied gentlemen with gray hair smiled happily as he received a piece of blue paper while his wares were still quiet.

Choosing to walk, Lendra began to step into the alley of the village. His eyes could not help but notice the tenement house lined up along the road. The environment is quite crowded, the road that can only be passed by two-wheeled vehicles is filled with children who are playing ball.

Up to 50 meters about he walked, he saw a mother who had just come out of the house. Lendra greeted him, and asked where the house was in maya.

"Fifth number." the mother pointed at the very end of the house in line with the house in place.

"Thank you Ma'am." Before Lendra left, the mother spoke again.

"But it's been 3 days, the house is deserted Mas."

"Where is Mom?"

"Well! I don't know Mas.. Only, from what the neighbors heard, three days ago there seemed to be a commotion. The sound of things breaking with the sound of Neng Maya's screams. Her husband just came home.."

The mother smoothly recounted the events she heard and Haris's departure until her return.

"That's what you know, Mom."

There was a sense of worry that Lendra felt. Filing it felt, something was wrong that happened with Maya. Leaving the mother who had not finished talking, Lendra stepped her feet towards the house with the number five.

Lendra tried to look inside through the glass covered in brown curtains. And the mother came closer, suddenly already behind Lendra's body.

Somehow Lendra wanted to enter the house, he wanted to make sure what happened.

"Will you come in?" the mother asked when she saw the young man pull out a tool from his bag.

"I'm worried about my friend Ma'am, it's been a few days that there's been no news. Do you believe in love? I'm not an empty house thief, ma'am." Lendra understood the gaze of the mother who was a little suspicious of him.

"Where are there handsome-faced thieves like me Mom?" Lendra gave her sweetest smile.

"Yes, I believe. Just lock the door." the mother smiled

Using only a small tool in his possession, Linga easily turned the door lock. Clamps. The door opened without having to be broken.

Lendra went inside, the house was empty. He walked into the kitchen and was quite surprised. Followed by the mother who was also surprised to see broken pieces of household items scattered, broken rice cooker, cutlery which was also on the floor.

Taking out the phone, Lendra took some pictures of the situation.

"Mas.." the mother called from the door. "here.."

Lendra approached, along with seeing the condition of the room with the floor filled with many broken glass.

"Astaghfirullahalazi.. What is this Mas?"

°°°°°

After meeting with Maya in the afternoon before evening, Haris went out to meet one of his fellow journalists to find out who the owner of the gold card he was carrying.

By leaving Maya still curled up on the bed. Not to forget, Haris locked the room so that Maya did not leave the house.

Around 10pm the man returned home and invited Maya to talk.

"Come, May.. Let's talk."

Change clothes, with moist eyes and reddened face. Maya exits the room and sits on the sofa. With Haris also sitting not far from him.

A few moments of silence until I finally speak.

"Sorry.. I'm sorry for hurting you. I have spoken harshly to you." Haris was stunned to cry in front of Maya and continued to talk.

"Anger gets me out of control. I'm angry because I'm disappointed in you, May. You have betrayed me.

But I realized that I was lacking as a husband. I'm aware of my mistake of ignoring you."

"Sorry, if I prefer my family. Must have hurt you a lot, right? And I was insensitive and forgot how Mama treated you all this time. And it must be very heavy for you."

"I can't choose between you and Mama. I still love you May. But I love Mama too. I also realize that our relationship has been unhealthy for the past 3 years. I tried to close my eyes."

Maya listens to Haris by wiping her tears.

"I'm sure my name in your heart has been replaced with that guy, right?"

Haris laughed softly, with a sad face, considering Lingga was a man close to Maya. The man who became his friend while in the field. And the man had already turned into a successful man with a new position, and as the son of the owner of the News Group where he used to work.

"When has May been?"

Maya did not answer. He chose to shut up.

"Alright, I won't ask you again, your meeting with Lingga must be because I asked you to deliver the file. And I won't ask how it goes.."

"But I will ask you for justice May. As a redeemer for your betrayal of me. I'll give you a choice."

"Leave the Linga, forget the man. We continue our household. And I'll close my eyes to what you've done. If you're pregnant, I'll acknowledge her as my son."

"And you may choose the Linga and leave me. With the risk you have to bear. I will expose in front of the press, if the gentleman has fucked my wife, and I will also reveal the secrets she has been hiding all this time. About the Alisa scandal, the woman who is still legally his wife."

"Or disappear from the life of Lingga, never appear before him, go as far as possible until he cannot find you. And I'll let you go if that's what you want. I will also close the scandalous meeting of his wife and her affair with you. It's punishment for you Maya."

Instead of apologizing and talking to Maya, with an ego that still dominates her, or defeat that can not be acknowledged. The man gave Maya a difficult choice. But unexpectedly, Maya chooses the one she does not suspect.

To tear for the umpteenth time. Maya answered without hesitation and clearly. He knew what Haris wanted. He accepted and chose the choice as a form of justice that Haris asked of him. Maya does not defend herself, Maya also does not regret what has happened, she does it in a conscious state with great love.

"I did not choose you, nor did I choose Linga. I'll go as I please. May I be my fault-redeemer."

"Drop my talaq right now, Amar Maulana Haris."
