ELECTORAL MAN
Advice from Reyna

"You're crazy....Really outrageous of you. I didn't think you could be that bad. I don't think the same about you." Reyna looked at me. His emotions seemed to go up and down.

This afternoon I went to Reyna. Accompanied by Rocky and Anwar, I set off for Senandung Cafe. My goal was to ask him for advice about Ninis.

With hesitation and a trembling voice, I told her everything. I knew he would be surprised and angry with me.

Reyna looked at me. The look in his eyes showed how much he was disgusted at me.

"You're the same as harassing the legal terms of marriage, ma'am. Astagfirulah....And you also demean the dignity of women. You married her only to be made a condition of your ex-wife.....Crazy, totally crazy."

"As a woman, I can't imagine what it would be like if I were in the Ninis position" she said.

"I know Rey....Now what am I supposed to do? I'm really confused."

"If I were Ninis, I wouldn't forgive you. I'll sue you. I'll post this matter to social media, let you and Meylan get social sanctions."

"Now I ask you, do you regret doing all this? for the sake of your soul-sick love and ambition, you have committed a fatal painful act."

"And finally what do you get? Meylan threw away all your sacrifices and just left you. You had an accident like this. Don't you realize that this is God's recompense for all your crimes against Ninis." Reyna pointed at my feet that were still resting on the wheelchair.

"It's dong, Rey. Don't blame me continue. I'm here to ask you for advice. What am I supposed to do now?" the facial expression looks more sour. He seems to hate me so much.

"Come, Ninis and apologize to her. Learn to love him. I'm sure she's a good woman and right for you" Reyna replied softly.

"But, Rey..."

"No word but. If you fight to regain Meylan's love, you can definitely fight to regain Ninis' love. Learn loving...Love will grow because it gets used to it"

...****************...

Reyna's words this afternoon kept ringing in my ears. Learn love? can I? phone's beeping. Mama called.

"Dear, how are you? did you learn the way? you must remain eager to heal. Poor Ninis if you keep getting sick. Oh yes, hape Ninis is not active from yesterday? Mama wants to talk to him, Rid!"

Pimply. I have to answer what. No way, I told Mama that Ninis ran away from home, could be more runyam later."

"Ninis again shower Mah. Hapeya is broken Mah. Ninis hasn't had time to fix it."

"Mommy's going there next week, son. All right, Brother Ferin and her husband have a project in Jakarta."

Aaah this is even worse. Where should I find Ninis? my mind is dead-end. Should I ask Ms Endang about Ninis' whereabouts? or do I have to go to her parents' house? an equally heavy choice for me. Both of them would pose a great risk that would lead me to the sickle seat.

Ninist

I looked around this room. Still hasn't changed. Exactly, like the time I lived before before marriage. The position of the goods, also the wall paint that has been peeled a lot here and there. The atmosphere is the same. This room is a witness to my grief in the course of the day. Being a comfortable place for me to crochet dreams, release tired and also sad heart.

Aaah, so many stories that I have passed, and now I return to this room, bringing a new story that is no less poignant and incisive.

To my Father and Mother I will say that Bald is going to Singapore to undergo further treatment. I can't go, because I'm doing a lot of work, and the Bald One doesn't want me to be too tired either. She felt sorry for seeing me who was too tired to take care of her while in the hospital.

Either Mom and Dad believe it or not...Hopefully they don't suspect. The Baldman isn't here either. Hmmm, how dare he ask my whereabouts to Mom and Dad?

Seriate.
