"Mba, Joya!" Seeing Joya. Ayenir did not want to waste the opportunity to talk to her ex-husband.
"Yes" Joya still does not accept Ayenir's presence to take Hamdan from her. But, realizing that now between him and Hamdan was nothing, Joya could not be selfish and still maintain her dislike.
Joya published a smile as sweet as possible. Even though his heart was still insincere.
Joya POV
"Joya MBA!" I was surprised to see Ayenir running towards me. He took my hand. I was so excited to see her tears falling.
"Mba joya, I'm sorry." His voice choked hoarsely and his shoulders trembled. He looked like he was unwell. Oh, I forgot. Obviously she wasn't well just a few weeks ago this woman miscarried.
Her face is sad. It doesn't look like the first time we met. No more beaming faces that sometimes make me jealous because of youthfulness and in his acceptance as a daughter-in-law by Mother. This flower has now withered.
"I've forgiven you" I replied, not wanting us to be the center of attention.
I pulled him back to sit down. Forced me and Bang Rian to sit at the same table as them.
Ayenir still clasping my fingers, I don't know what's wrong with this woman?
It's not that I don't know if Hamdan always steals my eyes, but I try not to care. My eyes were still looking towards the pitiful-looking Ayenir. Oh, why would I look at it?
"Mba Joya, I'm sorry for ruining your happiness. All this time I've been consumed by Mother's words, Mother lied if the marriage mas Hamdan and mba Joya are not happy."
His words are so innocent. Too bad, he should have been able to have a better future, had he not met my mother-in-law.
"Everything's happened. There is nothing to regret!" I try to remind.
"But, what used to be natural mba, now I am also experiencing. Mom always presses me!"
I'm surprised not to be a bitch. I looked at his sad face. He should look tired. But isn't she Mom's daughter-in-law of choice?
Now I throw my eyes at Hamdan. The man just looked down, not defending his mother as he had. Does that mean right?
What is this feeling? Why did I pity Ayenir? I should have hated him.
"Then, think about what steps you will take. Remember, women should have self-respect, talk this over to your husband, if you feel you've done something wrong in the past, try not to repeat it in the future"
I stopped talking after Soto's order was placed on the table.
This time I was silent. Just focus on my food. Let those three pairs of eyes keep stealing my eyes, I don't want to care. And the Household of Hamdan and Ayenir. Let it be, whatever happens, it's none of my business.
Ayenir POV
I stared at Mba Joya's calm face enjoying the bowl of soto, with guilt. Their divorce made me a little happy. Because I can stay with Hamdan, my baby father. But after the breakup it was real. I regret. In my eyes, mba Joya is an angel . All the words that came out of his lips touched me to the bottom of my heart.
The woman had never even gone berserk, could keep her pride and also hold back the anger that might be so much. His heart must have been in excruciating pain when Mas Hamdan had to marry me.
But Mba Joya can hold him back. Farewell to Hamdan did not necessarily make him ignore us. Makes me even more amazed at his figure.
I got nothing. Besides regrets.
Why is Mba Joya now in control of my heart?
In the past, even though his eyes were wet because of my presence, he was still polite.
No screaming, no making. Although her feelings are deeply hurt by the presence of other women in her husband's life. They've been together for two years. Even though I haven't gotten any offspring, I can see that they don't bother about it. It was my fault for being blinded by love. It's my fault for trusting Budhe Rubiah too much. If it can still be repaired, I would be willing to step back and return Hamdan mas to mba Joya. Even though I don't know if Joya still wants to take Hamdan back.
"It feels good!" my daydream broke hearing the voice of the man who came with Mba Joya. The man looked handsome, his appearance was also scoffing, looking not an ordinary man. Ah, maybe Mba Joya has found a replacement mas Hamdan? heart's sad. I'm late if I want to give up.
Throughout meal. Mas Hamdan never opened his voice, even though I caught him staring at Mba Joya several times. A look full of longing. While Mba Joya's gaze on Hamdan I can't read.
I begged Mba Joya to let me hold her. The woman was kind, she agreed and opened both her hands.
"Sorry, Mba, I'm sorry, can I still put you together?" I whispered. Mba Joya fell thinly as she stretched our arms.
"Ayenir, if only you had not gone the wrong way. I'm sure you're a good woman"
I was surprised at her words how she could say that to the woman who had taken her Husband.
"Yes, sometime we talk again, we're in a hurry"
Though there is still a lot I want to talk to mba Joya. But it turns out he left first.
After Mba Joya the atmosphere became quiet. Mas Hamdan also directly paid the soto of our order. But apparently Mba Joya has paid for it. Oh God, that's as good as the woman I hurt.
"Let's go home."
POV Author
Hamdan rode his motorbike, splitting the crowded looking streets. His longing for Joya is treated by their encounter.
Hamdan was jealous to see another man shift his position. Position to accompany the woman's time.
Hamdan thought, Joya will go directly to the neighboring country, it turns out that Joya is still alive around her. Hamdan was grateful for that. Because it can still stare at the face that misses him even from a distance.
Hamdan and Ayenir went into the house, the house looked lonely, somewhere Rubiah. Hamdan and Ayenir went into the kitchen to put down their groceries. But how surprised they found Rubiah already lying on the floor with his pulse cut off.
"Mother....
Like a knife stabbed in the heart. Hamdan found his mother dying. Not thinking about anything else, Hamdan immediately asked his neighbor for help.
***
Hamdan drowned at the Puskesmas where his mother fled. Rubiah's been treated, but still asleep because of the dope.
"Mother must be fine, Mas "Hibur Ayenir.
"If anything happens to Mom, I won't be able to forgive myself!" lirih Hamdan's.
Hamdan felt negligent, although he should be angry that he did not ignore his mother. Rubiah just had it, ignored surely the woman was desperate.
Different from Hamdan. Ayenir was worried. Ayenir felt this incident was a drama that Rubiah made to make Hamdan feel guilty. Is his thinking right???
