“Aku iri ih dia punya pacar yang kayak gitu. Padahal orangnya jelek loh.”

Tapi kenapa ya, kita nggak pernah bilang….

“Aku iri masa, pacarnya itu sudah punya pasangan legal.”

Rasa iri itu memang hal lumrah yang sulit sekali dimengerti ya.

“I am jealous of that scum. How could such a partner be attended with such an upbringing?”

In a retrospect, why do not we ask….

“I am jealous of that person. The partnership they share, is being shared with one more legally recognized spouse.”

Jealousy is indeed such a common, yet complicated emotion to comprehend, no?
