A Friend from Malaysia

A Friend from Malaysia
You Can Only Choose One



Yola flinched getting that sudden hug from Hafiz. His position sitting on the chair, while Hafiz who was standing while looking down hugged Yola, made Yola's head sink into the chest of the field.


Long Hafiz hugged Yola trying to hold back the roar in her heart given the cruelness of the way of life that was not in favor of her love for Yola. Not only did the woman return to Inspiration, but Hafiz was now trapped by Yuri.


"Yola, don't you ever leave me, hmm?" ask the man again.


Yola returned the hug, pulling Hafiz's body tighter and hugging him so that his head was now on Hafiz's shoulders. For some reason now he felt pity for Hafiz, but as Ilham always said he should not be weak.


"I will never leave you, Ndut," Yola said in Hafiz's ear. "You matter to me, you mean to me, I love you as a friend ...."


"Tak ... don't go on that, Yola. I don't want to hear what you want next" Hafiz said.


Yola took off her embrace from Hafiz.


"You should keep hearing it, Ndut. I promise I'll never leave you, but this Ndut of our wedding plans can no longer go on. I'm sorry .. but I have to be honest with you. I have talked to brother. I think you already know that, right? That night when we were at the Green House, you followed me there, right? I don't want to lie to you much longer, Ndut. Please understand my situation," Yola pleaded.


Yola noticed that this morning when she checked her dresser drawer.The keys to the Green House were no longer in place. The key to the house had never touched Yola before because indeed Yola had no interest whatsoever to come alone to it. All this time if Yola goes with Inspiration, then the key in the hand of Inspiration they use to open the house. That means someone took the key in the dresser drawer. And only Hafiz was free to go in and out of his apartment.


Hafiz knelt down before Yola who was sitting on the dining chair. He grabbed both of Yola's hands and grabbed them.


"Don't say that, please ... He doesn't deserve you, Yola! I know you're still very fond of him, but .. You don't have to go back with die. You don't remember where die hurt you 7 years ago? Forget him, Yola! Not mase mase ni you do not love me, I will be patient waiting, you want pending planning wedding kite was okay. But please come back with him. I can't bear to watch him hurt you all the time" said Hafiz.


Yola took a deep breath looking at the persistence of Hafiz who wanted to maintain their relationship. There is no other way but to admit that she is pregnant at this time.


"I'm pregnant, Ndut!" akuny.


Yola noticed Hafiz's expression which looked not surprised at all.


"You know that too?" ask Yola wonder.


Hafiz nodded.


"I'm sorry, Ndut. You might think I'm cheap. Yes of course, even Mama thinks I'm a slacker. But my brother and I did that before he told me. So when you proposed to me, actually without me knowing, I was already pregnant with my brother's son. That means that the talaq he said to me was illegitimate. Until now I was still his wife's brother, Ndut," Yola said trying to explain.


Hafiz was stunned to hear Yola's words. He didn't expect it to be like this. He still wants to fight for his love for Yola regardless of whether Yola reciprocates or not. That's why he sent Diana here to help him mend his relationship with Yola. Although they ended up having an argument this afternoon, Diana decided to return to Johor because Hafiz insisted on not leaving Yola.


"No Yola. I can't go back with him. He has ade Sonia anyway. Kite continues kite's wedding planning alone. If you're pregnant, you don't have to worry. Is there me hmm? I'll be his dad. I'll take care of him and take care of him like my own son. Hmmm .... Please don't tell me you want to leave me, Yola!"


Yola cupped Hafiz's face with both hands. Hafiz looked pitiful when the moemohon on Yola was like that. Yola felt sorry to see her best friend.


"Hafiz, I will never leave you. You're mybest friend. You have a very special position in my heart. Even for this, my brother would not be able to shift that position. When I was in my downturn, you were always there to accompany me. When everyone bullies me and insults me you put up a body to protect me. How could I leave you? I don't want to lose you either, Ndut."


Yola is crying now.


"But the heart problem I can't control either. I love brother. Seven years I think it's going to diminish on its own. Butno. I still love him very much. I want to be happy with that feeling too. I loved her at such a small age since she married me. Four years, I held her in my heart thinking my love would never be reciprocated forever. I was happy when one day he came to pick me up at our school, asking permission to Mama and Papa to take me to KL. He said he loved me, I was so happy. Can you imagine my happiness at that time? It was as if the whole world was in my grasp," Yola said with her eyes still glazed over.


"Yelins ...."


"Wait a minute, Ndut. I'm not done yet. Then in those three short days he promised to build a real household ark with me. But you know what? Shortly after that I was devastated when he married Sonia. No, not because I gave myself to him. Because I felt lied to by him. Why did you say that she loved me when she loved Sonia? Why give me hope as high as the sky if he will eventually drop me from that height? That's how I felt at the time. That's hurtful. And right now I don't want you to feel the same, Ndut. I don't want to lie to you and you don't lie to yourself either. I don't want you to suffer. I am a very selfish person indeed. I don't want to lose you as my best friend, but I won't let go of my brother as the one I love. Can you understand my selfishness this time, Ndut?"


Hafiz breathed heavily upon hearing all the outpouring of Yola's heart. Then slowly he took off Yola's hand which cupped his face. Then he got up from his crouching position before Yola.


"No. I can't understand. You can only choose one between me and brother."
