The Albert residence.
Shakila went to the balcony on the second floor. He recalled the words Geo just now.
How could Geo love me? Didn't she always say she loved Dawiyah and wanted to marry her. Then..why does he say he loves me now?
If he really loved me. He wouldn't let me go, would he? Aren't you?
He recalled the words Geo always said to continue his marriage and did not want to let go.
If he really loves me. That means his words all this time are true! Nah! I can't be with him! I'm still going to get divorced from Geo and marry Sardin, the man I love.
”Before Geo loved me more, I had to make him walk and quickly leave this house. Finish the deal and go!” muttered.
In Geo's room.
Geo locked the door to his room and took his laptop. He sat back on the bed.
He turned on his laptop, checked the incoming emails. There are different types of emails that go into his account and it's from important people who work for him.
He read and replied to those emails.
After he finished replying to important emails, he sent an email to Beni.
”Did you allow Marlina out of the central city?” Geo.
Ting! Geo immediately opened and read the chat reply from Beni.
”Iya. He begged me to let him go to city A. He's worried about you and wants to see you. He promised not to hurt Syakila, so I allowed him. Wh why? Did he make a tantrum there?” Beni.
”No! He didn't make a tantrum! It's just that I'm lazy to see his face here.” Geo.
”Hum! I gotcha! I gave him only a week there, after which he returned to the central city. How are you doing?” Beni.
”Why should a week? Why not give him three days! I'm fine now. How's the condition there? Do you need my help to fix the problem there?” Geo.
”No need! You rest fine there. The problem here is almost over. But, I failed to take back the small company that Antonio had manipulated. Beni.
”No problem! Just let him have fun with that insignificant company! Geo.
”Alright, Geo, I've already chatted us this. There's still business to be done.” Beni.
”Hum! You take good care of yourself there. If you need my help, call your mom to talk to me. If not just send me an email.” Geo.
”Ok.” short Beni reply.
”If you are back in town A. Buy me a new phone from there, buy it directly with the card. You immediately save only important contacts related to work in my contacts and other important contact numbers. Geo.
”Oh, ok! Anything else?” Beni.
”No!” reply Geo.
He immediately turned off his laptop and put the laptop back in its place.
He saw Syakila's bag on the table. His hand grabbed the bag and wanted to check it.
Geo pulled back his hand which almost unzipped Syakila's bag. ”Already! No need to check his phone.” he passed from the table.
He reopened his room and lay down on the bed.
Until when will I act paralyzed! I had to think of the right way to walk, but, first I had to make Syakila love me.
Click! The door sounds open.
Geo immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Syakila went into the room. He saw Geo who was asleep. He approached Geo.
”Geo, you can't fall in love with me! Can't!! said slowly. He turned around and went to the sofa.
Geo opened his eyes, looking at Syakila's back. Why did you forbid me to fall in love with you? Because Sardin? Shakila, I'm not giving up! You're mine! his mind.
Syakila laid herself on the sofa chair, sideways, facing the back of the sofa, back to Geo.
It looks like that sofa will be his bed again. Damnit damnit! If only mom hadn't forced that damn couch into the room. Syakila must have slept with me on this bed, Geo thought.
Geo closed his eyes again when he saw Syakila turn around.
Syakila saw Geo, when she woke up, I just talked to her about chemotherapy. I'll ask Aunt Samnia there might be a good recommendation from her.
He closed his eyes, resting himself.
In the family room.
”Marlina, Auntie tell you for your own good. Auntie doesn't want Geo to hate you more.” Rosalina advised Marlina.
”But Aunt, Marlina was just worried about him. Marlina has no intention of making Geo angry or hate Marlina. ” her face is made sad.
Rosalina stroked Marlina's back affectionately, ”Tante knows your intentions are good. Geo's emotions are still unstable. You are patient, if Geo is healed, you are free as before to meet your brother.”
Marlina fell silent, She's not my older sister. He's just my stepbrother and the man I love. If it wasn't for Syakila... Geo must have been captivated by me.
”Why is your face pouting?” rosalina asked, as she looked at Marlina's pouting face. ”You just came, you ate?” ask Rosalina again.
”Aunty.” Reply Marlina.
”If you want to rest, you go to your usual room, yes. Auntie stay upstairs. Aunt wants a break. You rest also well.”
”Iya, Aunt.”
Rosalina stood up and stepped towards her room upstairs.
Marlina was still sitting with her pouting face on the chair. A few minutes later, he stood up and went to his room.
Before Rosalina went to her room, she took the time to look at Geo in her son's private room.
He opens the door. Rosalina was surprised, her face turned sad to see Syakila and Geo who separated her bed.
Do they always sleep apart? This can't be left alone! Their relationship would not have developed if this continued! his mind.
He stepped into the room, approaching Syakila. He crouched down and lightly hit Syakila's cheek without making a sound.
Syakila's sleep was disturbed, slowly she opened her eyes. He was surprised to see Rosalina standing in front of him.
He hurried to get up and sit down. Syakila was so nervous looking at Rosalina and glanced at Geo who was still asleep in bed.
I forgot to lock the door when I entered! Damnit damnit! Now mama knows me and Geo sleep in different places.
”Every night you sleep apart?” Rosalina played down her voice so as not to disturb her child's sleep.
However, Geo had already woken up and was looking at and hearing Syakila and Rosalina's conversation.
Syakila's getting nervous. His mouth was tightly shut looking at Rosalina.
”Mama thinks your relationship has really improved! But Mama was fooled by your romantic attitude in front of Mama! Mama disappointed!”
”Ma..bu..not so! Syakila..”.
”Mama is wrong, Mama has misunderstood the romantic attitude of the two of you over the past few months! Is it Mama who expects more of you? At your wedding?” trim Rosalina.
”Ma..sorry, Syakila... Geo..”
”What? The accord? A treaty? Then what does it mean that your words will continue to be by my son's side? What does your words mean, you and Geo already trust and accept each other? Huh uh?! What!?” although her tone sounded angry, however, Rosalina still shrank her voice. He did not want Geo disturbed his sleep.
Geo also wanted to hear what answer Syakila would give to that question. He listened silently to Syakila and her mother.
Syakila lowered her head, she had indeed spoken like that to Rosalina as well in front of Geo. But, he only wanted to calm Rosalina down at that time.
When Rosalina was worried, agitated, about Geo when her illness recurred. Did he have to tell the real reason he spoke so back then? Or having to make up a new excuse to cover up the lie?
”Ma.sorry. At that time, Mama was sick and her feelings were not calm. Mama was so worried about Geo. Syakila didn't mean to disappoint Mama.”.
”Do not mean to disappoint Mama? Then do you think now Mama doesn't look disappointed? My mother was very disappointed with Syakila! Mama disappointed!” Rosalina stepped away from Geo's room with deep disappointment.
”Mah..” Shakila stood up and held him.
”Mama doesn't want to hear your lying excuses anymore! Mama doesn't have much hope for your marriage to my son! Whatever you want, just do as you like.” Rosalina passed away from Geo's room.
He deliberately makes Syakila feel guilty for herself and also for Geo. That way, Syakila can appreciate Geo and his marriage.
Syakila was silent, her body suddenly limp, she sat on the floor. Sorry I'm Mah! Excuse me. Maybe this is better. I can't love your son.
Geo looked at Syakila flatly. He also did not know what to talk about right now. He looked sad and breathed heavily many times
He felt the distance between the two of them getting further away. Should he give up on his love?
”Sorry, Mah. Sorry..” lirih said from Syakila's lips. Her tears represented guilt.
He wiped his tears, stood up, walked closer to the table. He took his cell phone out of his bag. He saw Geo, the man was still asleep. He sat back on the sofa. He called Sardin.
”Halo darling.” Sardin received a phone call from Syakila.
”Kak..kak Sardin.” his voice sounds sad.
”Syakila, what's wrong? You were crying? What the hell's going on? Tell brother!” Sardin was worried.
Geo deliberately closed his eyes to eavesdrop on Syakila's conversation with Sardin.
”Kakkak an. Mama Rosalina caught me sleeping separately with Geo, in room.” Syakila said.
”How can it?”
”Syakila forgot to lock the room door when entering. And Mama Rosalina also suddenly went into the room. Finally he knew Syakila was sleeping on the sofa and Geo was sleeping in bed alone.”
I can feel if Syakila is sorry. Is it regretful that he started to like Geo or just his guilt for Rosalina?
”Syakila. Are you afraid your aunt is disappointed in you?” ask Sardin.
”Iya. Syakila didn't want to let Rosalina's mom down. But now, mama was even disappointed in me.” tears flowed back on her cheeks.
Sardin sighed, ”Then, what do you want to do now? Syakila, aunty really hopes for your marriage like any other couple. Syakila, sister can give up for you, for your wedding.”
”Sister, brother is aware of what this brother is talking about?” Syakila was not happy.
Sardin. Brother is very conscious, Kila. Brother knows you are the fastest person sympathy and empathy for people. Fearing, because of your empathy, your heart is broken and follows the wishes of Rosalina.
Syakila wiped her tears. ”So, maybe this is the beginning of our farewell. Syakila did not want Mama Rosalina to wish on Syakila. Syakila did not want to make Mama Rosalina disappointed, but, Syakila more do not want to give up and give up on Syakila.”
Geo was so sad to hear Syakila's words just now. Syakila really loves Sardin. He could do anything for Sardin. And that was the thing that Geo envied Sardin. Love.the attention he does not get from Syakila.
Sardin breathed. ”What tomorrow Ade go teach?” he deliberately changed the topic.
”Iya, Brother. Brother, don't change the topic! Sis, promise Syakila, you will not give up on Syakila. Wait for Syakila, not long. Ok?”
Sardin smiled thinly, ”Ok. Brother promised. Don't worry about your brother's heart and love. Sister always loves you.. forever.”
Syakila smiled, ”Thank you, sis. Syakila loves you.”
”Kakak knows. Um... Kila, brother has the phone? Brother wants to help uncle first.”
”Iya, sis. Carefully working.”
”Iya, dear.” tut tut tut! Sardin decided to call.
Syakila put the phone back in the bag and went to the bathroom. He washes his face.
Let's wash his face, but, it still looks clearly in his eyes and face if he just cried.
He came out of the bathroom. He saw Geo was awake. His gaze met Geo's gaze.
”Syakila? Are you crying?” ask Geo. He pretended not to know anything.
”Geo, you're up.” Syakila walked over to Geo. He sat on the lip of the bed.
”What's up? Why crying?” ask Geo again.
”Syakila is okay. There was only dust in my eyes. I'm fine.” replied Syakila, lying.
You never were honest with me about your feelings. Is it uncomfortable for you to share your feelings with me? mind Geo.
”True, is it okay? I'm sure it wasn't because of the dust, but, you did just cry.” Geo wished for Syakila to be open to him.
Syakila nodded, ”It's okay. Geo, come with me for chemotherapy. You must train your feet to walk.”
Geo looked gloomy, he smiled wryly. ”Hum, I follow your words. Why are you crying?” again Geo asked about what made Syakila cry.
Syakila smiled as forced. ”I'm not crying. I told you, my eyes were dusting. And I rubbed my eyes until my tears came out and looked crying.”
Geo fell silent, sighing.
”Em... well.tomorrow, after Syakila came home from teaching, Syakila will stop by Samnia's aunt and ask her to find me the best chemotherapy place. Ok?” syakila.
Geo smiled wryly, ”Ok.”
