Sardin's residence, at the family table.
”Mama...!!” snapped Sardin.
”Pa, look at your spoiled child, here! He dared to yell at Mama! Though Mama only suggested things for her good!” nesa complains to Alimin, her husband.
”Sardin, never repeat yelling at your Mama! Your mother's words are very true, your age is now entering the age to get married. Nita is a good girl, she also sincerely loves you, open your heart to receive her by your side!” alimin.
Their conversation was heard by Nita who stepped inside the house, she stopped her steps and smiled happily.
Let's see! Can you still resist the wishes of your parents now, Sardin? his mind.
He still faithfully stood in his place, hearing further the talk of the Sardin family. Syakila was still speechless in her seat, regulating her mood and thoughts.
Am I being so selfish? Right, I've married someone else. Aunt Nesa and Om Alimin want to see their child happy. There's no way Sardin would tell his parents about my marriage to Geo. Then, will he wait for me until when? I also don't know when Geo will be cured. Have I taken away Sardin's happiness? Is it time to let go of this love? And let Sardin have his own happiness.
He took off Sardin's hand slowly.
”Sister, you must not speak rudely to your parents. Syakila does not want to hear a second time.” he said slowly.
”Ka.you listen to your parents. Auntie's words are right, your parents just want to see you happy. Ka...you marry, meet your happiness.” he said again. On his face was engraved a smile looking at Sardin, but his gaze, saying otherwise. ”I..I tell you first, I've been here too long.”
Sardin was speechless, staring in disbelief at Syakila, had Syakila given up on her love? Does Syakila not want to marry her again? Think Sardin.
”Iya, baby! Thank you, for advising this flat man! You be careful on the road!” nesa Sahut.
”Yes, Auntie!” Syakila smiled.
Sardin held the hand of Syakila who was about to stand up. Syakila turned her head, looking at Sardin, the man's face revealed a disassociation.
Syakila smiled, she took off Sardin's hand which held her hand gently. ”Dear yourself brother, much rest! Don't think too much of a no-no! Please go home first!” said advising.
He stood up and stepped out of Sardin's house. Nita smiled happily, she continued to step in and sat on the bench where Syakila had sat before, next to Sardin.
”Mah, Pa, Sardin wants a break! Sardin goes to the room first.” said Sardin. Without waiting for an answer from his parents, he stood up and stepped away to his room with a face full of annoyance and disappointment.
”Sardin..ka...you Nesa stopped her own words, her son had already disappeared behind the door of the room. He breathed and saw Nita. ”Sorry, Sardin is still being indifferent to you!” said it.
”It's okay, Auntie. Didn't I tell you, I already know the character of that man! Oh yeah, Auntie, who was that woman? Looks familiar with Sardin.”
”He's Syakila, he's a friend of Sardin's since childhood. They were once in a romantic relationship, only.they were not a match. Syakila is married to another man. But, the flat man.until now does not want to get married.” said Nesa, his face was sad to see the closed Sardin room.
”Tante, Auntie don't have to feel so sad...Sardin will definitely marry me sooner or later.” Nita said.
”Hopefully so, Auntie and Om are eager to see her get married and live happily. Om and Aunt are sure you can make our son happy with your sincere love.” Nesa saw her husband, ”Iya right, Pa?”
Alimin just nodded in response, knowing that his son did not love Nita. He also knew that his son still had hope in Syakila. How did Sardin marry Nita?
”God willing, Aunt. Nita will make Sardin happy.” said Nesa. He saw the door to Sardin's room.
Turns out he's your ex-boyfriend! Is that the kind of woman you want? Sardin, my name is not Nita if I can't conquer you!! in his mind, he smiled cunningly.
”Em... Auntie, Om, Nita's coming home first! Nita's been here a while. Later Nita will come here again to visit Aunt, Om and Sardin.” he said again.
”Yes, be careful on the road, Nak.” Nesa said.
”Yes, Auntie!” Nita steps out of Sardin's house.
Nesa was still very sad to think about the child. If he wanted to force Sardin to marry, it could. However, he does not want Sardin out of the house again as he used to, as he forces his will to tell Sardin to get engaged.
”Pa, how is the fate of our child? Mama wants to see him happy for the rest of his life. Mama wants to carry the grandchildren of her descendants. Is Mama wrong to have this wish, Pa?” his weakness.
”Mama's wishes are not wrong! Every parent has the same thoughts and desires as their mother. It's just, our child is recovering from his illness, don't push him too much. Give her time to think.” Alimin said.
Nesa sighed, ”Alright, Pa. If she still doesn't listen to us, Syakila's the only last place Mama could ask for help to convince Sardin to marry Nita.”
”Serah, Mama.” Alimin said.
Sardin did not want to get married, because he still had hope in Syakila. They both still love each other until now. It will be complicated for Sardin. Alimin thought.
He embraced and gently stroked his wife's back.
.. ..
On the way to Rivaldi's residence.
Syakila's mind was not calm, the woman was still thinking the words of Nesa, Sardin's mother. He and Sardin still love each other. How could he hand over his beloved man to another woman? Let alone seeing the man living a happy life, joking with laughter with other women! Just thinking about it had already made him jealous and unhappy.
But what should he do? This was the request of Nesa, Sardin's own mother who asked her to convince and persuade Sardin to marry. How could he ignore Nesa's request? If you want to refuse, how can you refuse? Did she have to tell Nesa about her marriage agreement with Geo? And tell Nesa why Sardin refused to marry someone else because of her? That is very unlikely and absurd! What will Sardin's parents respond to him? Cheap lady? Selfish woman? Or worse than that?
Syakila sighed, she closed her eyes, massaging both the bases of her nose.
Sardin, what should I do? I'm not willing to let you go. I'm not willing to let you be in another woman's arms. Just thinking about you being happy with another woman only I was jealous, I wasn't calm, what if it was true!? his mind.
”Neng, we have arrived in front of host Rivaldi. Does Neng not want to go down?” said the driver.
Shakila opened her eyes, looking around the window.
”Oh, we've arrived well! Sorry, I daydreamed.” sahut. He took out a piece of money to pay for his taxi. ”Thank you, Bang.”
He got out of the car, saw the gate of Rivaldi's house. ”A long time ago I left Geo in there. How is he doing now?” He pushed the fence, stepped inside.
”Mistress, you've come?” greet Ijan who is outside.
”Iya, how is Geo? Em, have you two eaten?”
”Already Madam, sir is fine. Mr. Rivaldi has just finished giving treatment to Mr. Geo.”
”Oh, the two of them got along as long as I was gone?”
”Iya, Mistress. They're both fine.”
”Good, I went inside first.” Syakila said. Ijan nodded, Syakila opened the door of Rivaldi clinic, stepping inside.
He saw Geo sitting in a wheelchair while looking at the phone facing the window. While Rivaldi, he was seriously looking back at the X-rays of Geo's leg bones and back.
”Sorry, I just got home.” he said.
Rivaldi and Geo both saw Syakila who was closing the door to the clinic.
”Oh, how, has Sardin been discharged from the hospital?” ask Geo. He pushed his wheelchair towards Syakila who was still standing by the door. Rivaldi only saw the two at a glance, then, he again observed the photo in his hand.
”Iya, already out of earlier.” replied Syakila. He walked towards the chair, until he passed Geo in front of the chair.
”What's up?” tanyakanya.
”What is it like to enjoy a meal in a restaurant? What's fresh after sipping fragrant flowers in the garden?” Geo answered Syakila with a question.
Rivaldi looked towards the two of them, Is Geo being jealous and angry? His tone sounded ordinary, but, the content of his meaning.
He still looked at the two men.
”You pecked me?”
”Your safety..Isn't it my responsibility? Isn't that what you told your mother? So, your pecking language does not match, what is suitable is to take care of you secretly!”
”But you don't have to spy on me everything!”
”Don't make me angry, Syakila! I haven't punished you for being negligent with your responsibilities as a wife! You ignored me and let me starve in people's homes, while you! You even enjoy eating meatballs with a man in the restaurant. After that, you sat alone in the garden, without thinking about how I am here!!” geo said angrily.
So, this fellow was really angry from jealousy? He knows Syakila's activities out there. The pressure of his tone when angry was terrifying! His cruel aura was visible in his eyes... But.he still held back in front of Syakila. And Syakila looked scared..Has she ever felt Geo's anger before? As far as I know, Syakila is not a person who is afraid of others, Rivaldi thought.
He still watched Geo and Syakila from his seat.
”So, don't arouse my anger!!” said again. He pressed down, further pressing the grip of his hand that held Syakila's wrist firmly without him noticing.
”Ah... Geo..ta..my hands..sa....sick!!” syakila.
Geo looked at Syakila's hand, there was a slight scratch on that wrist, however, not making her loosen the grip of her hand.
”If you know the pain! Why not know your responsibility! I allowed you to meet him just because I remembered your friendship and appreciated your promise with him! And I let you just take her home. But, you..”.
”Ah..sorry! Sorry, Geo! I know I was wrong.... I'm sorry!!” syakila said, while enduring the pain, slashing Geo's speech.
Geo's grip on his wrist grew stronger and tighter. If only he revolted and pulled his hand, of course his thin skin would be injured.
”You better go home now! I want to stay here a few days!” said Geo while smashing the hands of Syakila rough.
”Ta.but..”.
Syakila stopped her speech seeing Geo's hand raised.
”Ijan, take Syakila back to her residence!” said it.
”Good, Master!” sahut Ijan, who suddenly was already on the lips of the door. ”Mistress, please!” he said it was polite to Syakila.
Syakila was sad to see Geo like that.he could feel what the man was feeling. He did not want to leave Geo, but, he did not want to make Geo even more angry to see him. It would be better if he followed Geo's orders.
Rather than him letting Geo's true anger overflow in front of his teacher, it would look unkind.
He retreated slowly while staring at the man's back...
”Guru...i tipped Geo..” he said to Rivaldi.
Rivaldi nodded, Syakila looked back at the man's back.At the moment she was hoping Geo would stop his steps and hold him there. But that didn't happen...
Syakila turned around, she came out of Rivaldi's clinic. Ijan followed behind him.
Rivaldi looked at Geo without daring to ask or speak. He was afraid to open his voice. Geo's aura of ruthlessness was still felt in his room.
.. ..
On the way home.
”Ijan, will Geo be okay there?”
Ijan glanced at Syakila from the rearview mirror. Her mistress's eyes were glazed.
”Iya, Madam take it easy! Sir can adapt to his mood.” he said.
”What time are you guys having lunch?”
”Almost four in the afternoon, Mistress!”
”What?!” Syakila's surprised. He's speechless...
He deserves to be angry. I stayed outside for too long, ignoring her. Geo.sorry! I'm sorry, her mind.
”Ijan,”
”Yes, Mistress!”
”Do you know the location of the cobra building?”
”Iya, Mistress.”
”Antar I'm going there! I still want to not go home.”
”But, Madam..this is almost night..”.
”Stop here, I take a taxi only!” syakila said, cutting Ijan's speech.
”No, I will escort Madam to the cobra.” building Ijan said.
If I let Madam go take a taxi there, if you know.
Ijan turned the direction, running the car towards the cobra building.
What's the madam here for? Ah.hati Madam is not well. He wants to be alone there. Is it because of Mr Geo? mind again.
He saw Syakila from the rearview mirror. Her Madam's face looked sad, her eyes glazed over. I don't know what the madam is thinking!
Ijan turned his car into the building's parking area. The car stopped perfectly.
”Mistress, we've arrived.”
”Hum, I want to be here alone. You come back to Geo, and after coming home from here, buy food for him.” Syakila said.
”Sorry, Mistress. I'm here to accompany Madam. I still want to live and work with you! Please Madam don't make it difficult for me!” Ijan said kindly.
Syakila. He understood Ijan's meaning. ”Alright, it's up to you!” he got out of the car.
He walked, stepped into the cobra building. He continued walking to the back hall.
