Husband For Keara
First Love is Over

Today is the first day Keara started working at Firstlove Cafe. In the morning, he was excited. Humming every moment. He was cutting himself in front of the mirror for longer than usual. Wearing makeup is different than usual. And don't forget, eat more than usual. Because work requires energy, right..? Hehee..

He wears a black collared shirt with embroidery inscribed 'Firslove member' on his right chest. Marsya mbak gift uniform. Combined with bright blue jeans and tosca green sneakers. He tied his hair back. And wear enough perfume. Okay, ready to figure..

Arriving at the cafe, he was introduced directly by Marsya's mother to all employees. Also in Bu Ijah, people trust mbak Marsya who doubles as a Quality Controller on the taste, hygiene, and presentation of cakes, food and drinks orders customer. The cafe that blends with the bakery also serves an inter-message system and serves large quantities of cake reservations. Wow. the more exciting it becomes..

Keara immediately blends in with the others. She learned deftly what she should do. Memorize the menu and recommend to customers, record customer orders, deliver customer orders to the table, clean the table that has been left by the customer. All she can handle so far.

The next customer who came made Keara surprised. Mix happy. Keara glanced at the circular watch on her left arm. Hours 16.30. Yaps. his friends came close to Keara's working hours. Muthia and Ocha.

Keara did tell of her meeting with Muthia on Ocha. Also about him working in the cafe owned by Muthia's sister. But seeing Ocha coming with Muthia, it was quite surprising to him. As well as making him excited to quickly clean up his shift.

While in the locker about to pick up his bag and jacket, someone patted Keara on the shoulder from behind. It turns out that Juna. Staff coordinator, whose job is to organize the shift division of all waitresses until kithcen. In order for the number of staff entering the morning and afternoon to be balanced, nothing is unequal.

"Yes, I'm Juna.."

"Your first day is good."

"Hehe. thanks to Juna.."

"Keep the spirit, yes.."

"Ready... Juna.." Keara smiled broadly as she raised her hand and placed it on the temple signifying a gesture of respect.

"Oiya K's.. Tomorrow you go in the afternoon.. 3 P.m to 10 p.m. You don't mind, do you?"

"Ready mas. No objection at all.."

"OKAY. Sip if that. Marsya said you are also flexible to enter at what time, just have to confirm first."

"Yes mas Juna.I really okay to enter at what time." said Keara. "Maklum mas. I am a final semester student who has no classes. Continue to work thesis also can only be done and get inspiration if it works at midnight only. Be all day long I'm unemployed. hehehehee..."

"Yes K. I hope it's okay to do the script." Mas Juna sounded wise. And handsome... uh!

"Yes already there.You have been waiting for your friends right in front.. Samperin's manger."

"Okay mas Juna.." Keara made a symbol okay with her fingers. Then immediately grabbed a bag and ran small towards the front of the cafe where Ocha and Muthia were waiting for him from half an hour ago.

Keara approached Ocha and Muthia. They were busy chatting and occasionally interspersed with crisp laughter. Filling the cafe in the afternoon. Connected with the music played as a backsound that narrates the story and chat cafe visitors who come.

They sat at a round table closest to the entrance. Keara sits in the middle, between Ocha and Muthia. Muthia thrust lemon tea ice at him, which Muthia had ordered for her a while ago.

"Oii.: what is the first day of work? Pegel pegel huh?" seloroh Ocha as Keara takes a deep sip of her lemon tea. Refreshing the thirst that attacked his throat.

"Lumayan.." he answered while continuing to suck lemon tea, now his suction is more relaxed. Enjoying every drop.

"The work and his friends are cool and exciting.."

"Your sister's cafe doesn't have your sepsis.. Every minute there's something coming." Keara put down her lemon tea glass. Then lean his back against the chair while pulling the stiff back muscles.

"Go one, come another thousand." he added.

"Hehe. yes Alhamdulillah.." said Muthia kalem.

Muthia ordered a steamed siomay that after landing on their desk was still puffing smoke.

"Eh bumil nyemil mulu.." Ocha shook his head inexhaustibly. "When it's just a gigabisin dessert box.."

"It's natural that Cha.. That's two people." Keara defends Muthia.

"Siomay made by my brother is very good to know.. Here's cicipin.." Muthia pushed her siomay plate into the middle of the table. So that his two friends can freely pluck siomay.

They like to talk about trivial things interspersed with crisp laughter. About how ridiculous it was when Ocha applied for a job at a private bank. About how he finally got accepted to work as an accounting at a zamaha motorcycle dealer. Followed by the story of Muthia's husband, Muthia's pregnancy, and her baby who began to actively give small kicks in Muthia's stomach.

Ocha touched Keara's hand while calling her name. Hunch Keara certainly can guess that the conversation this time will be more serious than before. Keara just cleared her throat, without stopping her activities picking up snacks at the table and eating them.

"Eng.. It's about Mayra, K.." Ocha sounded very cautious in speaking.

"Why him?" asked Keara in a lazy tone. Muthia seemed to be silent. It was as if giving Ocha and Keara some space to talk seriously. He is not close to the three, Keara, Mayra, and Ocha. But the matter that entangled them, more precisely between Keara and Mayra, a little bit of Muthia had heard her story.

"Mayra asks for your Whatsapp number.."

"Don't be loved.." interrupted Keara.

"He said he wanted to apologize to you, K.." continued Ocha.

"Tell him, I'm sorry. But to communicate with each other again..." Keara breathed a long breath. "I'm sorry I can't."

"What is he? Is not his life calm and happy? Why are you looking for my number again.." continued Keara.

Ocha is seen rummaging through his drink. As if looking for the right word choice to say. "Mayra has heard of Rizky's death..."

"So she wants to know my number to make me worry about it? For failing marriage twice.." Keara laughed bitterly.

"Don't dong K... I'm so sad when you say that.."

"Yes, K.." This time Muthia also spoke. "The soul mate has been outlined with God.. It has become His decree also if you are not paired with Nico and Rizky mas. It's just the way Nico and Mayra hurt you was wrong. Moreover, you and Mayra are close friends. Even you and Nico have been dating for a long time, even had a fiancee."

"Yes Mu.. I don't hold grudges against both of them." Keara smiled. Shaky again. He had to take a few long breaths. In fact, considering that the adoration of Nico was never a regular discussion for him. Still suffocating. It was as if he was still wet. Although it has been years.

"I don't have any feelings for Nico either. But if to communicate again with Nico or Mayra, ummmm.. I'm still so hard on you.."

"Yes K.. I know you." Ocha said softly while bowing his head.

"Cha, you don't get burdened with my problems." Keara grasps Ocha fingers. "We were friends with three. Me, you, Mayra. Now that I have a problem with Mayra, it doesn't mean I'm forcing you to stay away from Mayra. You can be friends without me.."

Keara took another long breath. Discussion of his past always ended with his mood free-falling into the steep ravine.

🌹 Flashback 4 year ago

The day Keara gets engaged to Nico. In a few hours, Nico and his family will come to his home to propose to Keara. To determine the date of their wedding.

This is the happiest day for Keara. The day he was looking forward to after dating for more than four and a half years.

There are many things they have been through together. Their sweet memories were both many beautifully engraved. Even to the point of being painful. Although Nico had been on several trips with other girls, behind Keara. Betraying Keara's trust. However, proof of Nico's love for Keara with the act of application, in the end make Keara melt.

At that time, both were twenty years old. But maturity is not measured by age, is it? Nico is still studying while working part time at a Malaysian restaurant. While Keara works in a minimarket.

All the things related to this engagement event made her very exciting. Starting from looking for souvenir items, looking for kebaya couple for events on day H, make up, shoes, nail art, decorations, cakes and catering food for events, and other spin-offs.

Ocha, Keara's best friend since High School, participated in the task of being a busy secretary and accompanied Keara shopping for needed needs. But her other best friend, Mayra, always reasoned to be busy doing college assignments and could not help Keara starting from preparation until the day of his engagement. Keara had scorned her best friend, but finally she understood the busyness of Mayra.

Long story short, the engagement event went smoothly. With a date set in December they will get married. That means in six months they will officially become husband and wife. Keara's dream to marry a young man she loves will be realized in the near future.

But the dream did not come alone. There was a thunderbolt snatching following behind it. That night, when all of Nico's extended family had gone home, leaving Nico who said he still wanted to stay a little longer at Keara's house. Mayra came with a restless look that could not be defined. And escaping Keara's attention, Nico's frantic face attempts to code Mayra to remain silent and not speak.

"Mayra.....!! I'm glad you came, even though it's too late.. I understand that the mother-to-be of this lawyer is busy asking for forgiveness.. " Keara greeted Mayra cheerfully. He clasped his best friend's fingers, pulling them in.

But the gloomy face of Mayra was caught also by Netra Keara. Mayra stays in the middle of the living room. Keara and Ocha looked at each other. Nico, looks nervous and panicked in the corner of the room. But as if there was nothing he could do. Nico stays unmoved.

Mayra knelt in front of Keara. Both of his arms stretched out, clutching Keara's legs tightly. "R.. Why are you Ra? Don't do this..."

Mayra flinching. He was crying bitterly. Keara and Ocha are getting confused. While Nico furiously tried to remove Mayra's finger link from Keara's leg.

"Deliver! Don't fuck with you! Don't ruin my happy day with K !!" hardik Nico's.

Mayra's crying is getting louder. More and more sounds slashing. But instead of worrying, Nico repeatedly rebuked Mayra and continued to try to remove the link of his hand.

"You better go home now! Get out of here!!" Nico continued to be angry and said rudely to Mayra.

"Don't ruin my happy day!!"

Mother and Mas Arman until fixated staring at the confusing scene that occurred after the engagement of his daughter. Keara continues to persuade Mayra, but is not convinced.

"Don't be angry, Nic. We don't know what the problem is with Mayra."

"Mayras.. Awake first. Don't cry, and the story slowly has a problem what it really is." said Keara.

I persuaded Mayra. Until Mayra calms down and wants to sit on the couch. Mother took him water to calm Mayra who was still sobbing. Keara and Ocha sat flanking Mayra while rubbing her best friend's back. Trying to relieve tightness that they also do not know what causes it.

As Mayra calmed down, she inched down from the sofa and rested at Keara's feet. Mayra drowned her face in Keara's lap. Trying to catch his breath before expressing his heart.

"I-I'm pregnant K..!" with Mayra saying it. While continuing to sob in Keara's lap. In front of many people. Keara, Nico, Ocha, Keara's mother, Arman's mother, and several of Keara's cousins whom he did not know before.

Nico was sitting on the floor. His face was flushed red holding the remains in his mind.

But all the attention was on Mayra.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim.."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Can we?!"

"Where's the story, Ra??"

Various reactions pop into Mayra's ears. But he doesn't care.

Mayra raised her face towards Keara. His friend looked at him bitterly. Full of empathy and concern.

"I'm ha-pregnant a-nak N-Nico..." Mayra was no longer able to hear how rowdy the atmosphere created in the narrow living room.

"I'm pregnant with Nico's son! I'm sorry K...!" mayra's tears were breaking.

Especially Keara. Her tears flowed the river. Keara felt the roof of her house suddenly collapsed on her head and chest. Suffocate. Stabbing so painfully. Not giving her space to just ask 'why?'. He felt his neck suffocated by a fact that his conscience was hard to accept.

In the blink of an eye, her happy day suddenly darkened. Dingy.

And that night, the last time Keara saw the faces of Mayra and Nico.

When Mayra and Nico got married two months later, Keara closed her eyes and ears. Even though the news reached him.

His lover and best friend, married in 5 months pregnant.
