A Wife's Escape

Hard to Forget

KLAAK!

"I'm home." Unknowingly Keyran said that as he opened the door of his room. It was a habit when he came home from work he was given a warm welcome from his wife.

But now everything is different. There is no longer a figure that always welcomes him with a smile, no more a figure that always gives him a longing-release hug, and no more a figure he loves in a room that now feels full of emptiness.

Keyran is still there, his feelings are now very chaotic. He still can't believe that the Nisa he loves so much has betrayed him. Even throughout the day while working the same, his mind kept wondering why all this had to happen to him.

He stepped in with heavy footsteps, in every step he took flashed every sweet memory that was imprinted in every corner of the room. However, he tried to strengthen himself to no longer cry even though the wound in his heart was deep enough.

Keyran continued his routine as usual. When dinner time came, she again remembered Nisa even though the only person there, Rinn's aunt, had nothing to say about Nisa.

He didn't eat because he wasn't tasteful at all. After that he immediately returned to the room, laying down his exhausted self both soul and body.

"The day I went through without you" Keyran murmured as he stared at a pillow beside him.

"Actually why are you doing all this? Why out of so many people do you have to choose my own half-sister? Am I lacking for you?"

Tears suddenly flowed out, as Keyran turned his back just facing the other direction. He tries desperately to remove Nisa from his mind. Hoping he will be freed from the shadows of Nisa who always haunts him.

***

The day changed, today was the second day where Nisa seemed to disappear from Keyran's life. Every time Keyran opens a news blog on the internet, surely news about Nisa becomes a topic that ranks first in search.

However, all the news only contains bad things that either Nisa did or not. Among all the news was absolutely no one loading how Nisa is now.

Journalists also often try to ask for information from Keyran directly. But Keyran completely shut himself off from the public, receiving none of the interview requests even though it came from a well-known news agency.

The day passed again, on the third day it was still no different from the day before. Days that seemed meaningless quickly passed. It has been 10 days since Nisa's departure from Keyran.

Again like the previous silent night, Keyran lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling of the room blankly. He then glanced to the side, noticing a long-out of touch pillow.

"Nisa .." muttered the tearful one.

Suddenly he grabbed the pillow and held it tightly. For the 10 days he had been through, he was filled with a madness that could not be vented to anyone. But all of that could no longer hold him back.

The scent left on the pillow made him even more reminded, as if the figure he had always longed for was like he was in his deckap at the moment.

"Where are you ...? I thought you'd come back .. explain and prove to me if it wasn't true ...."

"I thought I'd get used to it without you, but .. The more it feels the more tormented if you don't exist ...."

Keyran hugged the pillow. All feelings such as disappointment, anger, hatred, sadness and also longing. That feeling made him even more frustrated with the circumstances that befell him at the moment.

...At the same time, the central hospital...

...•••••...

Currently a surgeon was on duty in the hospital, he was none other than Aslan. But right now he's not in his own room, he's in the workspace of another doctor who is none other than the current chair of the Medical Association, Ricky.

"Rick, I'm asking for water. You see, what's in my room is gone" said Aslan, who was standing next to the water dispenser.

"Yes, whatever. Just spend it all," replied Ricky indifferently as he was still busy with his laptop.

Aslan stared in surprise, he immediately drank as necessary to quench his thirst. After that he approached Ricky and stood next to him, he was shocked to find out what Ricky was doing with the laptop.

"Oi, are you serious? Did all this since? Not even home yet even though your work hours are over?" asked Aslan while glaring.

"Be quiet! Don't bother me!" ricky snapped without taking his eyes off the laptop screen.

"Jeez, Ricky ... Ricky ... why care about Nisa to get like this? You're wasting your time replying to the comments of those who blasphemed Nisa one by one! That won't change anything!"

"Ck, I said shut up! You don't know shit! I'm doing a good deed!"

Suddenly Ricky stopped his activities and looked at Aslan with an annoyed look. "I'm not doing all this hoping to be appreciated by Nisa, but I'm trying to save these people!"

"You mean?" ask Aslan in confusion.

"These people don't know who they're really offending. Moreover, who made things worse by making false statements about Nisa's ugliness, they intend to seek attention but do not know the consequences."

"We both know that Nisa's a gangster, even her boss. I was certain that he was now observing everything secretly from the headquarters. Maybe now Nisa is silent and shows no resistance, or trying to prove her innocence. But after this he will make a big fuss. I'm sure because I know him well, so I know exactly how he's going to act."

"I still don't understand" said Aslan.

"Hahh .. I don't fully understand either, I'm just thinking about what is likely to happen. Basically we can never understand the mind of a gangster like that. But I understand Nisa, she's not the type to take care of people one by one, but she'll choose to clean things up at once. Including this later on, he would definitely make a big fuss!"

"What kind of commotion?" ask Aslan again.

"Hey, with the IQ you have you should understand this situation!" ricky starts to lose his patience.

"Huh, how can I understand? I don't know a gangster as close as you. It's only natural that I don't know" said Aslan, seeking a plea.

"Take a good look at this! Nisa's the gangster leader, now she's getting into trouble and there's a lot of people blaspheming her. Most likely those people will not just survive! I know Ivan, he's one of the top brass who's very loyal to Nisa, moreover he's a great hacker! And in a mafia group of that size it's impossible if there's only one hacker!"

"Ivan must have many other people who are also hackers the same as it seems. Although not as good as him, but they also need to watch out. At this moment they must be furious because their boss is being attacked by many people. If Nisa gave the order, then right then surely all the accounts belonging to these blasphemous people would be stolen her personal data!"

"-You mean their personal data will be leaked?!" Aslan.

"Just right! It would be fatal if that happened! Their personal data can be misused, the worst of which is phone number data or even account numbers! If that happens it will definitely make them lose money in just a few seconds!"

"Gnup ..." Aslan swallowed. "If many people are experiencing data leaks simultaneously .. there will certainly be many complaints filed with the Ministry of Information Communication. The matter of this accusation of infidelity may well spill over into politics, what a danger your ex poses ...."

"That's why I'm trying to counsel these people who don't know anything! But unfortunately they still remain stubborn, instead some accuse me of being a fanatical fan of Nisa."

"That's right" Aslan said.

"Hey, what do you mean?!" asked Ricky while glaring.

"On you that's a fanatic . I think they're right. You should know that you did all this, even though your account name wasn't special, but Nisa must have realized that it was you. Maybe he'll be moved when you do all this for him. Are you planning on taking her back?"

A moment Ricky was stunned, then he smiled bitterly. "Of course .. My relationship with Nisa has completely ended, and Nisa no longer loves me. I don't want to be too hopeful and it makes me even more hurt. I gave it to that man to make Nisa happy. I didn't think this would be the case."

"Hey, now the door of opportunity is wide open for you! I'm not praying for anything bad, but I think Nisa will soon be a widow! When that comes I will support you to get it again!" aslan said enthusiastically.

Ricky smiled thinly. "I don't know, As. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with Nisa. Even though when dating me he had left the dark world and then turned out to be kind and softer. All that I did over 2 years to make it melt."

"What I'm worried about is Nisa's only one, she's got a generalized anxiety disorder. He must have been shaken by all these events that were completely impartial to him. I intend to see how Nisa is doing, will you come?"

"Hei-hei ... You mean to the gangster headquarters!? You crazy?! What if when we get back we just stay the name?!" aslan asked with a look of disbelief.

"If you're afraid it's okay, I'll go there myself."

"Don't be reckless, Ricky! You don't feel sorry for your mother's father if something bad happens to you?! Anyway do you know where their headquarters is?"

"Maybe you're right, it's risky enough because I realize that Nisa's men hate me. But .. I have a feeling that Nisa will definitely not let them mess with me. And as for the place, I already know because Nisa took me there once. I'm sure that hasn't changed until now."

Aslan then rubbed his own face violently. "Hahh .. whatever! The important thing is to come back safe! When are you going to be there?"

"Tonight, too, but I have to go home first to change my clothes to make it look appropriate."

"Eh, you have to think about appearance as well. Where's the gangster's headquarters?"

Ricky closes his laptop and puts a faint smile on Aslan. "Later I'll tell you when I get back, so pray that I survive haha ...."

"Yes, okay! After you come back, I'll definitely brainwash you to stop thinking about Nisa!"
