Geo left the kitchen after Syakila's departure. He went ahead, he did not see Syakila there, he went to the room, Syakila was not there either.
”Where did he go? Is she in the flower garden?”
Geo went to the flower garden, although it was a bit difficult to get there, he still went there carefully pushing his own wheelchair. He saw Syakila sitting daydreaming looking at the flowers in front of him.
”What are you daydreaming about right?” tanyakanya.
He is now behind Syakila. Syakila turned, looking at Geo.
”Geo, why are you here? You know the road to this is not good. Aren't you afraid of falling down later?”
Geo smiled faintly, ”Are you worried about your husband? Calm down, I can be careful, this road is not so troublesome for me.”
”What do you think?” ask her again to Syakila.
”No!”
Geo sighed, ”What is this like our friendship? Didn't we agreed last night to share as friends? Or have you forgotten our conversation last night?”
Syakila snorted, ”We are friends, but, there are things I can talk to you about and there are also things I can't talk to you about. For my personal, it is enough that I alone know.”
”Do you also limit Sardines like that?”
Syakila looked at Geo who was looking at her seriously.
What does that look mean? His face looks flat but sad. Does he think the place I share everything is Sardin? The man who is not my husband? Yes, if Sardin was my husband or whoever would be my husband, I would lean on him and make him the place where I share everything. Does Geo expect him to be where I share? No, I can't, he's not our husband just tied up with a wedding rope, but, we're not real married men. After all, we both didn't love each other.
”Iya,” answer instantly.
Geo fell silent, Syakila turned her face away.
As Hardin said, Syakila is closed to his personal affairs to others. The place where he tells free stories about his life without any doubt is only Halim, his late father. Syakila, can I be the lucky guy that you can make a place to share your hard and happy?
”Syakila, if you need a place to share, feel free to come to me. I'll listen to you. Don't you limit yourself because of our fake husband and wife status.” said Geo
Unaware by Syakila and Geo, Fatma, who was also on the other side of the flower garden, heard their conversation.
Whahuh? So, Syakila and Geo's relationship is just a fake couple!! What's the matter? Was it true that their marriage a few months ago was fake? No, this is not true!!
Fatma was completely shocked to learn of the status of the marriage between her sister, Syakila and Geo. He remains in his position to continue hearing their talks.
Syakila turned to look at Geo, she smiled faintly.
”Yes, if I feel comfortable to share with you, then I will share.” He looked back at the flowers again.
Since we've been here. Geo's attitude has changed for me, he shows his affection for me as well as his concern for me. He also spoke more softly and controlled his emotions, was he sincere? Or is it just because he fulfilled my request?
Syakila sighed, she closed her eyes.
But I couldn't return her gentle attention to me. I will only pay attention to my lover. My attitude towards her all this time was just an attitude because my status was his wife.
”Geo, if you want a sculpture, just say, I will take you to the room.” he said later.
”I do want to rest, but, I want you to accompany me in my room.”
”Alright,” Syakila according.
He pushed Geo's wheelchair home. Fatma looked at the backs of the two of them who were walking away from the park with a confused look, pity, as well as a look of disbelief.
”Then, what is the meaning of the affection that the two of them showed these few days? Are the two of them just acting happily in front of the family? How could they both live like that? Doesn't their heart hurt to have a fake marriage like that? Does Geo's mother know of their marriage like this? In fact, we didn't even know they were having a fake wedding, if I missed their conversation, I wouldn't know about this either. Should I tell mama?” muttered.

The city hotel S.
”Hum, the atmosphere in this city can be too. I want to explore this city first. Want to feel the wind, the air in this city.” murmured Antonio.
He got out of the hotel, he rented a car for him to drive himself from the services of car renters.
He really took the time to go around and learn the streets in the city of S and the interesting tourist attractions of the city of S.
”Disini is fun, just deserve Geo build a villa here.”
Trrtrrt
His phone rang, he grabbed his hape, glancing at the screen. Brow shriveling.
”Vian? Why did he call me? Does he know where I am?”
Antonio picked up his phone.
”Halo,” sweep.
”Where are you? Pick me up at hotel xxx.”
”What? You are in S?” city antonio was surprised.
”Go get me!”
”Ok, wait.”
Telephone disconnected. Antonio turned around, he returned to the hotel he himself occupied.
What the hell is he doing here? Is he following me here? Oh, whoa! Did he come here to eliminate Geo? No, Geo must die in my hands!”
A few minutes later, he arrived at the hotel. He parked his car in the parking lot of the hotel. He was still in the car, he grabbed someone's phone.
”Where are you? I was already in the hotel.” parking lot he said.
”Ok, wait, I'm there.” says Vian.
Antonio's waiting for Vian in the parking lot. Not long after, he saw Vian coming out of the hotel entrance. He got out of the car, stood on the side of the car.
”Vian,” call him while raising his hand up. Let Vian know where he is.
Vian looked at Antonio as he called out to him. He accelerated his approach to Antonio.
”You drive,” said Antonio after Vian was in front of him. He turned around the car and opened the door of the other car and went inside.
Vian gets in the car, he sits at the wheel. Vian starts the engine of the car, slowly he runs the car out of the parking lot.
”What are you looking for here? There is no way you throw away your money for a vacation here?” ask Antonio.
”I'm here for syakila.”
Antonio's forehead shriveled, ”Syakila? Syakila, that girl you told me about?”
”Iya, he's here, with Geo. You're here for Geo, right? Syakila is with him, I don't want you to help eliminate Syakila when you kill Geo.”
”You are very interested in the woman, I became curious about her shape. To make my only uncle crazy about him.”
Vian chuckles small, ”You better not have to meet or see it. I don't want a woman like her to be fooled by a playboy guy who likes to play with women, like you here.”
”You lotus me? I didn't play them, but they threw themselves at me. I'm a man who can't resist that pleasure. Anyway, I paid them, isn't that worth it?”
”Successful lah.”
”Ngawur you! Where could Geo be interested in short women. If Syakila stood with Geo, at the very least, Syakila was on Geo's chest only. As for Geo, you know that he dislikes women the least, his standards, his woman's height up on his shoulders and on his chin.”
”Yes too anyway!” sahut Antonio's.
”The most important thing is, you do not try to approach Syakila, Syakila is mine!”
Antonio chuckled, ”Hahaha, we'll see later, can the charm he has make me pay attention to him or not? After all, she must be the same as the women I've met, they're just cheap women who want money.”
”You should not judge Syakila the same as your cheap lady!” vian said angrily.
”Already, don't talk about my Syakila. Tell me, where is the most delicious and popular restaurant in the city. I'm hungry.” he said again.
”You just run the car, later I direct the way.”
Vian did not mention the words of his nephew. Focus on driving a car.
.. ..
The city hospital S.
After returning from the office, Sarmi stopped at the hospital where Sardin was treated.
”How's Sardin doing now, Nesa?” ask Sarmi.
He was sitting in a long chair in front of the door of Sardin's ward accompanying Nesa. After he reached Sardin's room in the hospital, he saw Nesa sitting alone there sadly.
”There has been no change since yesterday when Syakila visited him.” replied Nesa, her voice was slow, sounding sad.
”With the presence of Syakila, he shows signs to live, he deliriously once mentioned the name Kila slowly. After that, he did not move or delirious again.” he said again.
Sarmi was silent looking at the door of Sardin's closed room.
The relationship between Syakila and Sardin has been established since childhood. Must have been a very deep relationship, did I wrongly forbid Syakila to visit Sardin? They are friends since childhood apart from dating.
”You are patient, Sardin will definitely recover as before. Sorry, Syakila has not had time to visit him.” he said then slowly.
”Thank you, Sarmi. No need to apologize, I know what status Syakila is now. There was something more important he noticed besides Sardin. Syakila came to see him, I was happy. Syakila is the girl who always makes her excited. He has never been close to another woman other than Syakila.”, Nesa said.
Sarmi was silent again.
As with Syakila, she was never close to any man other than Sardin. From the story of Anton, Syakila and Sardin have tied the promise as a child. Do they close their hearts to accept the temptations of other men and women? Oh, my God, give happiness to both of them, even though happiness comes from others.
”Nesa, I'll go home first. My son must have been waiting for me. If time is free, I will come again to visit Sardin.”
He stood up from his seat.
”Yes, be careful on the road, Sarmi. Thank you for visiting my son.”
”Iya,”
Sarmi steps away after confronting Nesa. Nesa breathed a sad sigh.
Syakila, aunt hoping, you came to see Sardin again. You are the one who makes him live his life.
.. ..
The road to Sarmi's residence.
Sarmi sat while daydreaming in a taxi. He thought too much about the relationship between his son, Sardin, and Geo, his son-in-law.
Did I cross the line to forbid Syakila to visit Sardin? Even the hapeenya I confiscated. Sardin, he now does need someone closest to his heart now to re-energize his life. Unfortunately, Geo could not accompany Syakila to the hospital to visit Sardin with her. Nesa, she must be very sad about her son's condition right now.
Sardin was his only son, his only hope. If what Sardine experienced by Syakila, would I do the same with Nesa? Expecting someone so close to her to come encourage Syakila's life? Yes, that's for sure I will do for the sake of my son's recovery. Nesa, Sardin, is in need of Syakila, but Geo also needs Syakila.
So am I being selfish here? L'm...
Sarmi sighed.
I'm just worried about my daughter-in-law's feelings. I'm afraid he's hurt and jealous because Sardin is the ex-fiancee of his wife. I don't want Geo to get hurt because Syakila's attention is focused on her former fiance.
The driver stopped his car in front of an alley of Sarmi's residence.
”Mother, we have reached the alley of the mother's house.” said the driver.
However, the driver's speech was not responded by Sarmi who was still swept away thinking of Sardin, Syakila, and Geo.
”Mother,” call the driver again by hitting the back of his seat slowly.
Sarmi woke up in shock, ”Oh, yes, Mr driver, what is it?” tanyakanya.
”We have arrived, Bu.” replied the driver.
”Oh, yes, sorry. I was thinking about something until unconscious.” Sarmi said later, after he looked around was the location where he lived.
He spent a fair amount of money to pay for the taxi.
”Thank you, bang!”
”Sama-sama, mother.” said the driver while taking his money.
After Sarmi paid him, he got out of the car. He walked from the alley to his house.
He entered the house whose door was not closed.
”Mama, Mama is home?” tanya Fatma was sitting on the sofa chair.
”Yes, have your sisters come home from school? Is lunch ready?”
”Iya, Mah. My sisters have come home from school. The food is ready on the table. It's my husband who hasn't come home yet, but, I'll prepare food for him, so, we don't have to wait for him to come home to eat.”
”Syakila and Geo, are they out of the room yet?”
”Already, Mah. They had just walked into the room an hour and a half ago. After they had breakfast, they sat down to relax in the flower garden.” Fatma said.
Do I have to tell my mom about Syakila and Geo's relationship? But, I'm afraid, mama will get even more angry at Syakila.
”We just eat Mah, Syakila and Geo is restless. If they wake up, then they will eat.” said Fatma again.
”Hum, call your sister to gather at the dinner table, Mama will change clothes first.”
"Yes, Mah.”
Sarmi stood up, he went to his room. Fatma looked at the back of her mother who was already behind the door.
Mama, I'm sorry Fatma, Fatma helped Syakila and Geo hide the truth about their marriage. One day, if you already know that, I hope you can understand why I hid this from you.
He stood up from his seat, calling his sisters to eat. They've gathered at the dinner table. Sarmi started scooping food for herself. The others followed after.
Hardin was silent looking at his family members, as well as his mother. Then he looked towards the kitchen.
Again lunch like this one morning, without Syakila and Geo. I haven't seen them both. Are they okay?
They all ate in silence. Only the sound of the clink of the spoon and the plate rang.
