Akad Undereviled

Chapter.58 Continues to Be Down

Fatih brought them to eat at a restaurant with a typical solo menu. Along the way Arsya, Jimmy, and Alisha were both silent. It felt awkward as if filling the void between the three of them.

"Please sit down, and order whatever you want" Fatih told everyone.

"Ready, Boss," answered Salwa enthusiastically. Fatih's sister did not forget to be invited when Fatih brought his friends to eat.

Arsya and Jimmy pulled up the bench and sat down in a row. Followed by Salwa who took a seat opposite to two guests Fatih from Jakarta.

As a potential husband, Fatih showed an attitude of concern by pulling a bench for Alisha. Right in front of Arsya.

"Thank you" said Alisha. The woman immediately bowed, not daring to look at the face in front of her.

"Order whatever you like. I don't want you to be skinny when we get married" teased Fatih by touching Alisha's shoulder.

Sontak Alisha brushed off Fatih's hand. Surprised by the man's touch.

"Sorry .. sorry," Fatih said awkwardly.

Alisha's heart was beating fast. Twice the normal heart rate. Fear was immediately evident on her beautiful face.

"Malisa ...." Salwa who noticed the change in face Alisha tried to calm down. "It's okay." Fatih's sister shook her head.

Alisha nodded. Take a deep breath and try to calm down. Here he is, still the same as before. Fear of male touch.

He has stopped therapy since leaving Jakarta. He thought his trauma would heal on its own, but today Fatih proved that Alisha still harbors fear from past wounds.

"Sorry," Fatih said once again before he sat down to take a bench at the end of the table.

Despite not making a sound, Arsya continued to pay attention to Alisha. Even his gaze did not change for a second since Alisha's shadow was captured by her sense of sight.

Jimmy, who was aware of Arsya's attitude, tried to distract the man's mind by asking, "Yes, you pesen what?"

"Samain is kayak lo" answered Arsya. Still keeping nailing eyes on the downcast Alisha. There was sweat on his ex-wife's forehead.

"Gue pesen strait Solo, you want?" continued Jimmy.

"Yes" answered Arsya.

Jimmy can only stop. He could not have reprimanded Arsya in front of Fatih. He has yet to find out if Fatih knows the relationship between Arsya and Alisha. He chose to talk to Fatih by asking about the development of the man's showroom business.

Previously Salwa had told Fatih about the condition of Alisha who was not easily familiar with men due to trauma with her ex-husband. Salwa had also warned Fatih to be patient with the attitude of Alisha if she wanted to marry him. But this time due to the negligence he forgot to keep all, Fatih thought it was just a touch on the shoulder.

"I'll drive you first, and then I'll drive Jimmy to the hotel" Fatih said in the car.

"No need, deliver Mas Jimmy first" replied Alisha.

"No ... deliver him first. Let him rest" Arsya said.

Of course Fatih immediately glanced at the man he just knew earlier.

"Yes, deliver your future wife first. Arsya and I are still going for a walk. Don't want to go back to the hotel." Jimmy chimed. Of course he wants to save Arsya from Fatih's suspicious attitude.

"Right, Mas, take us to Alisha's house first. Let's Niken take care of Lina's shop." Salwa.

"Antar to the store only," said Alisha.

"You should rest, better go home. Already, Mas, just go home." Salwa insisted.

The car drove as Salwa wished. Towards the house of Alisha. The woman immediately got out of the car.

Arsya's gaze still faithfully accompanied Alisha until her ex-wife disappeared behind the door followed by Salwa in the back.

"We're going to Solo Grand Mall, I have an appointment with someone" Jimmy asked. Of course he lied to Fatih.

Following what Jimmy wants, Fatih gets back to running his car. Leaving Jimmy and Arsya in the shopping mall.

At the house she rented, Alisha kept on being restless. The more his mind dissolved the more indifferent to the presence of real Arsya.

Solitude makes the wish even further to avoid. I think about Arsya and her. Also about Fatih. How she'll be honest about her ex-husband.

Not yet found an answer, Alisha seemed to be pulled from daydreams. The voice of the guest knocking on the door obliges him to rise to know who is coming.

"Mas Arsya?" Bak was thrown into reality. Alisha's eyes bulldozed to see her ex-husband standing at the door.

"Can I come in?"
