Bound Other Love

Episode 23's. Prospective husband and friend

The pleasure of eating a meal with Satya this time Anyelir felt, after he gave an answer to Satya's request at least now he can be a little relieved, calm living life in the city because it has freed his parents from the entanglement of loan sharks and according to Satya's promise that will give some money to his parents in order to buy rice fields, he said, fields and buffalo so that they no longer need to work as farm laborers in the fields and fields of others.

Satya and Anye have now finished eating their ordered chicken steak. Although without rice but their stomachs feel full because there are additional french fries and vegetable stews as a substitute for rice that also contains carbohydrates.

After they finished, the waiter came to clean the table, he took away dirty dishes and glasses so that guests were more comfortable relaxing after eating without being hindered by dirty dishes and glasses.

While the waitress completed her task, Satya invited Anye to stand to see the view of Jakarta at night from the height where they stood. Indeed, the place that Satya ordered is very strategically located on the 9th floor so it makes them freely look down to see the beauty of flickering lights in office buildings and residential residents who are below them.

Satya re-opens the conversation to break the silence,

"Nye.sorry yes".

"Haahh.., why are you apologizing Sat".

"Yes, I want to apologize".

" Ooh.....".

" Nye...at this time my grandfather is being treated in the hospital, is tomorrow after work you can come with me to visit grandfather? I want to introduce you to him who knows by introducing you can make him back healthy because all this time my marriage is always burdening his mind".

" Okay, Sat.Whatever you are, I'll follow you. So I have to wait for you where is Sat ?"

" Satya was confused by the Carnation question".

" Why are you asking like that?, you're done working tomorrow right out of my room, we're leaving from there".

" Oooh.", replied Carnations.

" Why Nye, you're ashamed to walk with me".

" It's not that you're the one who's embarrassed, if until your employees know we're together or we have a relationship".

" Why are you talking like that Nye? I'm never ashamed, even though my employees will finally know that we have a relationship. I've told you that you will never hide your identity from anyone as a second wife and as the mother of my children" Satya continued.

" And the reason I couldn't pick you up at dinner was because I had a job, so to be more efficient I asked Mr. Edi to come get you and drive you here".

" If you are not ashamed why when I come home, you make the excuse that I am sick instead of telling the truth if I leave because I finish the business that concerns you".

"Ooh that. At that time I was in a hurry because I got word that Grandpa was hospitalized. So let's not ask too many questions, which will just waste my time so I'm just saying you've excused me for being sick. So you thought I was deliberately covering up our relationship".

Anye nodded.

" I'm sorry if that's Nye, and you want to know why I don't want our wedding?".

" Yes", replied the Carnation.

Then he continued saying, "I know Nye how his suffering, his physical and mental suffering. Although she always pushed me and gave me permission to remarry but I knew how her heart felt, her heart must have cried. No woman wants to share her husband's love with someone else, right Nye? He is sincere because of his inability and he does not want to be selfishly happy over the distress of my family's heart", Satya continued.

" The sacrifice is so great, that I always tell you I can't promise you love but I also know how our Sharia is, I must be fair to my wives and not waste you or Nadia. It's all up to you Nye, whether you're patient about going through a household like this with me or you're going to leave me".

Then Satya clasped both hands and momentarily stopped her speech, Anyelir who never thought it would be done Satya felt surprised and his heart pounded as if to be dislodged from his place.

Satya continued, "The one I beg of you", and then she let go of Carnation's hand and clenched her hands in front of her chest, "Please give happiness to my grandfather, please, I love him more than I love myself".

After saying his request, Satya can only be subdued, he realized what he asked also seemed selfish, he asked Anye could provide happiness for his family but he himself could not promise to make Anyelir happy.

Anyelir tried to brave himself, he grasped both hands Satya and Satyapun raised his face to the eyes of Anyelir.

Then Anyelir said "God willing I will try to make my grandfather happy and I will fight and be patient to get your love Sat, even if only a little".

Carnations went silent, putting aside their shame, and then saying again, "If God wills I will also remain with you until death do us part, even if there is or is no love for me in your heart. Maybe in other people's eyes I look very stupid but the end goal of my life is my husband's desire until God is pleased with me to get his paradise later".

Satya's heart was so relieved to hear the words of Carnation, he promised in his heart would try to be fair to Anye and Nadia later. Perhaps time will answer whether he can share his love for Carnations or not.

" Thank you Nye, thank you for your willingness. From today I beg to treat me as a future husband as well as your best friend. I want to get to know you Nye without awkwardness, without fear, without any distance between subordinates and superiors, I want you to be open about your life and I will try to do the same".

Anye also nodded her head in agreement, now they can open each other as well as a friend.

" So I was envious you know Nye saw your closeness with Mr. Edi, why you can smile and laugh when he was with her and why can't it be like that when with me, there is always awkwardness between us".

" You know Nye, actually I was watching you from a distance somehow my heart ached and not willing to see you smile and laugh for others even if it was only for Mr. Edi".

Anye just smiled hearing Satya tell her the truth.

"For a while, keep smiling like that, hold on!", Satya immediately pulled out a hand-held phone from her pocket and then walked a little away to direct her camera to take a photo of the smiling Carnation.

Carnations that could not bear to see Satya's behavior finally he laughed. Satya who saw this rare moment immediately immortalized it, without shame with the people around him he also throttled his camera phone colleagues from all directions as if he was a photographer and Carnations as his model.

Carnations are more embarrassed by Satya's behavior then he hides his face behind his palms. Satya who saw it tried to tease Anyelir, he threatened to kiss Carnation if he did not remove his fist from his face.

" Take off the Carnation, take your hand off your face, I'm not satisfied looking at your smile and laughter and I haven't finished taking your picture" then Satya approached Carnation and whispered a threat near her ear.

" If you don't get that hand out of your face don't blame me right now if it's right in front of them I'll kiss you".

Anye is so afraid of Satya's threats, she will definitely feel very embarrassed if Satya really does, then she removes her hands from her face and the opportunity is used by Satya to take photos of them both.

Their photo looks very close, Satya in the photo is laughing while Anyelir with a plain face, surprised face is not ready to receive a shot from the camera mobile Satya. Then Satya took a photo of the two of them as a profile photo on his phone and showed it to Anyelir.

Anyelir tried to take the phone from Satya's hand, he did not want Satya to make the ugly photos of them both into a profile photo on his phone, but his efforts failed because Satya directly put the phone into his pants pocket. With a sullen face Anye returned to where they were sitting and Satya tried to seduce him until Anyelir smiled back.
