The Unused Ex
Calm Yourself

"What do you want to ask, May?" suhan asked with an expression that was difficult for Maya to interpret.

"Where were you last night, Bi? You're not here to accompany Birrul and me. So where exactly did you go? To our house.?? Or.. to another woman's house?!" ask Maya with a full of anger.

Suhan was shocked. Before then a nervousness flashed across his face.

The man immediately lowered his head. There was clearly guilt on her sweet, sweet face.

Maya's heart was inflamed instantly. Without needing an answer from Suhan, the woman immediately said again.

"Go!"

Suhan raised his face to look at his wife. He could hardly believe what had just come out of Maya's mouth.

"Ka..What did you say just now, May?" tanya Suhan stuttered.

"I'm asking you to get out of here, Bi!" pinta Maya is back.

The woman said it without daring to look at Suhan's face.

"Where to go, Um? my home is with you!"

"Hhhh.." Maya suddenly looked so tired as she let out a long sigh.

'Too sweet your words, Bi.. Unfortunately the poison you gave me secretly behind me has really killed my love for you..!' maya's inner scream.

"May.." Suhan called Maya while coming back to her.

"Bie.please..Please let Umi calm down first.. Please stay in Umi first.. Umi wants.."

Those words were stuck in Maya's throat. So that he can no longer continue his sentence until intact.

But Suhan understands. He was well aware of what was going on in Maya's chest right now.

His wife was very angry. And it takes time to think straight back.

Although Suhan still did not know clearly the cause of the commotion between them at this moment. But Suhan knows that Maya is very angry with him.

Among his worries about staying close to Maaya or leaving her, suddenly a thought flashed quickly in Suhan's mind.

'??!!! Do you not-don't Maya know that last night was me..??!' suhan thought quickly.

When the thought began to be fundamental in his mind, Suhan hurriedly said again.

"Mh..Maya! Did you know I was last night.." Suhan seems to have trouble finding the right words for her defense in front of Maya.

"What, Bi..? You were..what was it last night?" reply Maya pretends not to know.

Even so, a flash of anger was evident from his two clear brown eyes.

The glint of anger is what makes Suhan become gamang to step forward again. He could not guess the truth from his wife's eyes at this time.

When Maya's mouth says as if she doesn't know. But somehow Suhan feels that Maya actually knows something.

After quick thinking, Suhan finally decided to explain the reason for his absence last night in Birrul's room.

"Love, it was actually me yesterday.."

"Bii. please! Please go first!" cut Maya so suddenly.

"But, Love, I must explain to you first that yesterday was me.."

"Bii.. Please go first.. Umi.sleep first. Umi's head is a little dizzy. Umi does not want to discuss anything first now.." pinta Maya repeated again.

"Hh.. Alright, Um.. But, we really should talk later once you feel better!" suhan mengptimatum.

"Yes. whatever it is. It's up to you, Bi.." replied Maya with origin.

The woman then immediately laid down beside Birrul's bed. And he also hugged his baby who was now calm again.

Suhan was soon about to return to the place where Maya lay. Maya immediately stops her intentions.

"You go first, Bi.. What time is it? Just do the work, there.." gently push Maya away.

Suhan glanced at the clock on his wrist. Sudha time shows half past ten o'clock. It's still safe if he goes to the office right now. But his heart says to stay here waiting for his wife.

"Abi.abi wants a work permit first, Um.. Abi wants to accompany Umi and Birrul here.. You two will be sick again." Suhan reasoned.

Maya instantly reopened her closed eyes. Then he looked hard at Suhan.

"Just go to work, Bi. I mean ask you to leave so that Umi can calm Umi's heart and mind first. Please understand, Bi!"

Silent...

Suhan and Maya stared back for a few seconds. And after a long time of fighting in silence, Suhan finally gave up on the desire of the wife.

"Alright. yes.. Abi went to work,"

But then Suhan stepped up and approached Maya. And as usual, the man then kissed Maya's forehead, which was left alone by the woman.

Though really, in his heart Maya felt back her heart slashed..

'You're still being sweet like this, Bi..But the sweetness you show is a crushing defeat when compared to the poison in it. You are evil! That's so bad, Bi!!' maya's inner scream that came back pretending to close her eyes.

"If so, Abi goes to work first, Um.. Later in the day Abi bring food to Umi.."

"No need.." Maya refused in a hurry.

"Bu Laksmi will be here by noon. Jenguk Birrul all want to bring food as well," explained Maya further.

"...Oh.. Then we'll have lunch together, okay?" suhan's proposal is back.

"Abi.. Did you promise to give time to Umi to calm down?"

"okay.. Abi will give Umi time. But later in the afternoon Abi came here again huh.. This time Umi can't ban Abi anymore!" pinta Suhan has an ultimatum.

"..." - ".Maya was silent, not answering.

"Hh.. I love you, Um.. Umi knows that, right?" shush Suhan's voice then before leaving.

There was no answer from Maya. Until Suhan finally gave up and passed from his son's room.

After Suhan's long unheard steps, Maya opens her eyes again. His gaze was blankly staring at the whitewashed hospital wall.

Various thoughts and choices were wide in his mind. And Maya is now deciding what she will do in the future.

Should he survive? Or should he fight?

Could he have left all the warmth he had gotten from Suhan? Because after all, the man who had accompanied him over the line of grief after the departure of his mother and father..

Recollecting back to both parents, without being able to be held back, the crying again decayed from both eyes clear Maya.

"Mothers.. Sired.. Maya kangen you guys.." The sound of Maya in between her stuffed stuff.
