Grace of Love
Don't Wipe Tears

The grueling monthly meeting was over, Mariska leaned her head on the shoulder of Nindi who was sitting next to her in the cafeteria, waiting for the food they ordered to come.

Mariska was wriggling Nindi's long unraveling hair. Occasionally sticking it on Mariska's nose enjoyed the fragrant aroma of shampoo from Nindi's hair.

“You have an abnormality!” Reproved Son who was upset to see Mariska's behavior. “Remove your head from Nindi's shoulders before this spoon drifts into your head.” Threaten him while lifting the spoon.

“Ka, it's okay. I also like Sister Mariska sticking like this.” Nindi replied smiling, Space stuck out her tongue feeling victorious. He was lazy to argue because the results of the meeting made him depressed. He has to team up with Nindi and Zein to finish the project this time.

Happy to be a team with Nindi, but what happens when she is united with the woman she hates the most in this universe. Mariska threw out her rough breath in annoyance.

“Basic kekanakan.” Kesal Putra's.

“This gate is, just get angry at his work. Later cepet old Bang.” Ledek Kenzo who was comforted by the behavior of the two who liked to argue.

“Indeed he's old Ken, you don't have to explain.” Mariska makes Putra smile. The son is not the type who gets angry easily at his friends, he just likes to disturb and joke so that the atmosphere is exciting.

“You won't help me if I can't finish your work.”Threaten her to defend herself while smiling wryly.

“Yaaahhhhh!!!!” Shouted Mariska who felt cheated. “Why carry around work. You are not cool at all!. My head is getting hot.” She cried out in annoyance and sat back down to hug Nindi's hand.

“Already mbak and mas-mas, do not fuss. Please eat first so that the liver adem.” The canteen guards who were familiar with them served very kindly.

“Whisper Yes Ma if we come?” Tanya Nindi felt bad.

“Malah exciting mbak Nindi, so cool. Oh yes yesterday Mbak Nindi fainted yet Mbak?” Nindi held back in shame.

“Hehehehe...iya Bu.” Answer irent.

“Don't be tired Ma'am. This is Mama making Avocado Juice, free no need to pay.” Pointing forward Nindi.

“Yahhhh...Mother...I'm not in love for free too?” Mariska teased the cafeteria mother she was already familiar with.

“Fainting first new in love free!!!!” The son replied with a satisfied laugh.

“Look at it, there will be a prince who brings free Avocado Juice secretly.” Hayalan Mariska's.

“Which way possible! Your girlfriend is far away.” Mariska's face changed instantly.

“I go to the toilet for a while.” Run with his own face.

“Why? Are my words exaggerated? Is he offended?” Tanya Putra felt guilty seeing the look on Mariska's sad face.

“I followed up for a moment. Looks like he's having problems, he's been two days looking moody.” Nindi walked slowly holding her stomach, her stomach was a little cramp inexplicably.

Tok.dok....

Nini knocked on the toilet door, there was no answer. I just heard a squeak coming from the toilet. Nindi waited patiently until Mariska came out of the toilet. His eyes looked a little red, of course he was crying.

Nindi stretched out her arms, pulling Mariska into her arms. Mariska again sobbed in Nindi's arms.

“Ni...nnnn” His speech stammered. “My future husband cheated on Nin.” Mariska is crying hysterically.

He had been in a relationship for 2 years and decided to get married, but on the sidelines of their wedding preparations. Mariska finds her future husband in a relationship with his co-worker at the office. Mariska decides to end her unhealthy relationship, for her betrayal is inexcusable.

Nindi was speechless, she was confused because Mariska looked very bad. She is a very cheerful person and rarely looks sad, this time Nindi really saw the other side of her best friend.

Braaakk......

Kenzo broke down the closed toilet door. Mariska and Nindi were astonished by what was going on. His eyes glared creepily. Nindi and Mariska stepped back in fear.

Kenzo clutches Mariska's rough hand, Mariska flicks her hand trying to untangle Kenzo's extremely strong but unsuccessful hand grip.

“Kak Ken...remove Kak...ada what Sis...” Nindi tries to help Mariska escape from Kenzo. Ouch..what Kak Ken possessed well. Inner Nindi.

“Delete......!!!!!” Kenzo rubbed the remains of Mariska's tears violently. His eyes are still glaring sharply. “Do not waste tears for men brengs*k like him.” Pull Mariska out of the toilet. Nindi tailed behind him while holding onto his increasingly unpleasant stomach.

What did Kenzo actually hear, what made him so angry? Is he mad because Mariska's boyfriend cheated on her? Nindi guessed what really happened. Kenzo had been so sweet and kind, his attitude just now made Nindi shudder in horror.

Food as if stuck in Mariska's throat did not want to go down, a tablespoon of food has made himself gulp one glass of water so that food down into his stomach. Stole occasional glances at Kenzo sitting next to him. His hands were still trembling slightly from his fear.

“What's up?” Tanya Putra lirih in Nindi's ear. Nindi just shook her head. The son scratched his head which did not itch felt a very awkward atmosphere.

“Cute me for a minute.” Invite Kenzo to extend his hand, his tone has returned soft as the Kenzo they know. Mariska glanced at Nindi who also did not know how to. “I won't hurt you. Trust me.” Space stood up but did not want to reach Kenzo. His hand is still clutching.

“What's Nindi? Why is Kenzo so angry at Nin?” Ask the Son after Ken and Mariska leave. Nindi was still adjusting her heavy breathing.

“I honestly don't know Brother, Brother Ken suddenly just went into the toilet like an outcast and dragged Kak Mariska out of the toilet.” The son narrowed his eyes in confusion.

“What are you guys talking about?” Nindi whispered in the ear The son explained, afraid that others would hear so Nindi whispered.

Hmmmm......

Gunar's deliberate coughing sound made Nindi flinch in shock. “Siang Sir.” Sapa Nindi and Putra were friendly together.

“Please join Pak.” Invite the Son who saw Gunar walking alone.

“No need!” Ketus answer. “I've had lunch, please continue.” Gunar passed leaving the two, there was a hint of jealous spark enveloping at Nindi's closeness with the Son.

“Basic Boss bizarre world...Sometimes good rich angel, sometimes so.” Nindi held back a smile seeing Putra cursing Gunar who was already far away.

“Just as Ken was angry with Nin, he must have remembered his childhood. He is very upset if he sees an unfaithful partner.” It was obviously what made Nindi not understand.

“What are both parents Brother?” Guess Nindi who answered the nod of the head by the Son. “Really?” The son smiled bitterly.

“He never saw the figure of his father as beautiful as that. He looks after his mother who is currently sick Nin.” The son rests his head. “After the event Her father never returned, Her mother was depressed and to date did not remember who she was.”

Hearing Kenzo's story, Nindi tears up. Kenzo is very gentle and kind to women. She must have loved her mother very much. He must be angry to hear his best friend's girlfriend cheating. Nindi wiped her tears repeatedly, sobbing making Putra laugh at Nindi.

“Why are you sobbing Nin?” The son hugged Nindi soothingly. “Already, Ken is now a strong man, you calm down.” Nindi is still emotional despite Putra trying to laugh at her.

***

Mariska was standing a short distance away from Kenzo, squeezing her hand in fear of not wanting to see Kenzo's face.

Mariska reflexes backwards when Ken wants to touch her. “Sorry Brother Ken.” Mariska smiled but still looked down.

“I hurt you Mar?” Mariska shakes. “Why are you so scared?” Mariska was also confused as to why she was suddenly frightened. “Please forgive my attitude earlier. I lost control.” Kenzo spoke so softly.

“I also don't know why I saw you earlier so...” Mariska did not continue her sentence.

“Of course you're scared, I even broke down the door like crazy.” Kenzo laughed considering his strange demeanor.

Mariska stared fixedly into Kenzo's eyes, thinking about why she was so angry and pulling him so hard. “Why are you behaving like that? What makes you angry?”

“I can't see my loved ones being hurt like this, I beg you not to be stupid and go back to the self-didn't know men like him.” Kenzo turned his face away.

Mariska knows how the dark story of Kenzo's past, it's no secret how Kenzo grew up to be a gentle man because of his past. Mariska let out a long sigh, surely she was very afraid of Mariska fared the same as her mother. But his attitude is excessive, they have no ties except friends.

“You think I'm stupid!” Mariska pulled Kenzo's hand tightly. “I've let him go to the woman of his choice. I don't want men who easily put their hearts on other women.”

The two reconcile and return to the workspace continuing the pending work as the break hours are up. Mariska was shocked to see Nindi shaking and saw tissue strewn across her desk.

“You why Nin?” Mariska was sitting next to Nindi who Cindy was calming down. “Why are you so sad?”

“She cried because of Ken.” Obviously Son while laughing. Ken glared in disbelief approaching on Nindi.

“Why Nin? What makes you sad?” Nindi shook her head, wanting to laugh your tears would not stop flowing.

“I do not ta...hu Ka...k, I tid..ak can stop..ti.” Saying between sobs makes everyone laugh.
