Father's Choice of Sort

Gilang Visit to Boutique

Nurul arrived at Sandra's apartment half an hour later. When he got there, he still found Sandra crying on the floor.

" So let him rest in the room." Pinta Dias opened the door for her.

" But what happened ? Why did the house get like this ?" Nurul asked a little whisper.

" Later he will tell it himself. I'm going back to the office. Sorry for interrupting the time, I'm confused about how it was." Reply Dias.

" Well, that's okay, I'm just grateful that you're telling me."

" Alright, I have to go now, I still have a lot of work in the office. Sorry I won't be able to drive you home. Oya, I've had people come to clean up all this. Please open the door. Alfian is in his study, but I suggest that no one approach him first." Dias explained everything before leaving.

Nurul nodded in understanding, while Dias patted Nurul's shoulder once then passed away.

" Sandra, let's go to the room. Sitting on the floor is very cold... Your asthma could recur." Nurul begins to persuade Sandra.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry...." Sandra said.

Nurul doesn't understand, Sandra apologizes for what ?

" Yes, let me help you get up." Nurul then helps Sandra stand up and breaks her into the room. It turns out that even in the room it makes no difference. I don't know what happened because the room was so messy.

" You sit here for a minute, I'll get you a drink."

Nurul then goes out to get some drinking water for Sandra.

A few minutes later he came back and gave the water to Sandra.

" Okay, now take a deep breath.. Blow it slowly." Pinta Nurul after putting Sandra's glass on the nightstand.

" It's quieter ?" Tanya Nurul later.

Sandra nodded small. Remnants of tears were still flowing in both corners of his eyes.

" What happened to San ? Why are you guys fighting like this ?" Ask Nurul slowly.

Sandra shook her head and started crying again.

Nurul patiently waits for her to calm down while holding Sandra's hand tightly so that Sandra does not feel that she is alone.

" I'm wrong, Rul, I'm wrong... I deserve all this. " Said Sandra.

" Yes, it's Sandra... Make this a lesson if you are guilty. Do not hesitate to apologize to your husband. But if I may know exactly what happened ?" Ask Nurul again.

Sandra then told the truth honestly.

Finished telling me Sandra covered her face with both palms.

Nurul was sad to hear that. If he had known that, he would have banned Sandra from doing so. But the rice has become porridge. She knows very well how Sandra's situation when she married first, but she also did not expect if Sandra could get to think that far by taking contraceptive pills every day.

" What do you really think San... The name of the drug, there must be side effects. Don't you care about the health of your uterus ?" Ask Nurul.

Sandra nodded again. He never thought of getting there. All she ever thought about was getting rid of the fear if Alfian touched her and she got pregnant. Because he was still very young and did not love Alfian at all. Who would have thought, now his stupidity actually backfired for himself.

" Tomorrow you'll come with me. We check with the obstetrician, it has been more than a year you consume the pill. Sandra OMG...... Why are you so stupid ? But yes, it's all done... It's just that we regret it." Nurul said in no way.

" I'm afraid of Rul... Al is very angry.."

" Face the anger San. As a husband, it was natural that he was angry... Just try it, admit your mistake, and talk about what's going on in your heart so that you do just that.But for now, let your husband put his temper down first." Nurul advised.

Nurul accompanied Sandra until the afternoon. As Sandra was exhausted from crying and fell asleep, Dias's men came to clean the apartment. Then Arkha also came while carrying food. Fortunately the man was so sensitive that they did not starve. By night Nurul and Arkha pamit. But they had not met Alfian at all because Alfian was still at home in his study. They did not dare to enter because Dias had also warned them not to disturb him. Only when they wanted to eat did they offer Alfian. However Alfian still did not want to join them.

" Don't think too much, just do what I said earlier, apologize and be honest with how you feel. I believe Lord Alfian can definitely understand if you explain it well." Nurul said before leaving.

" yes. Stop crying because it will just make you tired." Arkha Imbuh.

Sandra smiled faintly hearing her best friend and sister-in-law.

" Don't worry... I'm better now. Thank you for keeping me company and entertaining me.." Sandra said sincerely.

Arkha and Nurul then left the apartment feeling sad. It was sad to see her best friend and sister experiencing problems in their household.

" I think Sandra's a very brave woman. From the beginning he knew how arrogant my sister's character was, but he could recklessly do things that I might not dare to do." Arkha said as he walked down the corridor.

" I know, Sandra's been brave since childhood." Nurul responded with a smile.

" You're still worried about him ?" Arkha asked to see Nurul's look of concern .

" Of course. Now she must be very scared, very sad but pretending to be okay in front of us." Nurul.

" Be calm, my brother will not do anything stupid that can harm him. Sandra is the wife she loves dear sister." Arkha's words calm Nurul who worries Sandra.

***

In apartment.

Sandra finished cleaning herself up when she finally saw Alfian enter the room.

Alfian passed by her just like that then took a pillow from the bed then slept on the sofa.

Sandra's heart hurts so much to see it. Never had she seen Alfian to the point of avoiding him like that, not even willing to sleep a single bed with him.

In the morning, Sandra no longer found Alfian in the room. It was only six in the morning but Alfian had already left for the office. Sandra's heart grew increasingly claustrophobic considering that yesterday she still enjoyed Alfian's breakfast, but now her husband blatantly avoided her.

Sandra went to college and worked without passion. Even his eyes were clearly very swollen. Every time asked by friends and employees Sandra always said if she was okay.

The second night after the commotion, Alfian still chose to sleep on the sofa and ignored the existence of Sandra. Sandra took the initiative to ask her to sleep in bed with him, but Alfian refused her out of fear that Sandra would get pregnant if she got close to him.

Sandra's heart was as if pierced by thorns upon hearing Alfian's words insinuating her.

The next morning, Sandra wakes up early and cooks breakfast for Alfian. But Alfian passed by going to the office just like that without seeing Sandra's cooking first. Later that night, Alfian chooses not to go back to the apartment and sleep in the office. Dias told Alfian that there are tasks that can not be left so they have to overtime and stay at the office.

Every night Sandra cries alone in the apartment. Alfian hated her so much now. Even after the commotion, Alfian was never willing to speak nor look him in the face. If asked to speak, Alfian chose to go to his study.

Every day at all times, Sandra was sad to think about her current home. Even in a boutique like now. Without her noticing, Ms. Reisa always loved him from afar while in the boutique.

News of Alfian's anger reached also in Gilang's ear because Dias slipped while drinking coffee together. Tell Sandra's mind that must be very sad at this time. So at lunchtime, Gilang took the initiative to visit Sandra to her boutique.

The lunch hour had arrived, as Gilang planned to meet Sandra to the boutique that day.

" Welcome to our boutique ..." Greet an officer with a friendly.

Gilang replied with a smile.

" Sandra is there ?" Ask Gilang directly.

" Oh, Sandra's mom is in her room, sir." Answer the officer.

" Please tell me if her brother's coming." Cdv Gilang .

The employee was surprised because it turned out that the one who came was the brother of their boss.

" good Sir... Please wait a minute, I'll call Sandra's mother first." Said the officer.

After a few minutes, Sandra emerged from her room with a forced smile on her face.

" Mas Gilang tumben here ?" Say hello Sandra.

" Yes, I miss you." Said Gilang while looking at Sandra with concern.

" Can we talk outside ?" Ask Gilang.

" Come, all of you eat siomay in front of ya mas." Sandra.

" Have you not had lunch ?" Guess Gilang was surprised.

Sandra shook her head while grinning.

" Come, we'll buy lunch first !" Bring Gilang.

Gilang and Sandra ended up buying rice paddies for their lunch. Actually Gilang was full but so that Sandra also wanted to eat, she finally ate the rice field.

Finished eating Gilang and Sandra sat in a park not far from Sandra's boutique.

" How are you doing ?" Ask Gilang.

" Of course it's good "Reply Sandra.

" Don't lie to me San, I've heard it from Dias." Said Gilang staring at Sandra.

Sandra became misbehaved and could not dwell anymore. It's free to hide it again.

" What about Al ? He's still mad at you ??" Ask again.

" Al is still very angry with me.. He won't talk or look at me. Every day he went to the office early in the morning. If I get up early and say hello or serve him as usual, he doesn't even come home with a lot of work at the office." Sandra said.

" uh.. As expected, it was not easy to ease his emotions. He's very stubborn. How about yourself ? Have you been to the doctor ?" Gilang.

Actually Sandra was embarrassed to discuss it with Gilang. It's not good if it's not answered.

" Already, I went to the obstetrician with Nurul yesterday. My doctor said it was fine. The doctor has given fertilizing drugs and vitamins."

" Good, there's nothing you need to worry about then. About Alfian, you have a lot of patience first. Later if his emotions have subsided, he will return to the way he was." Gilang.

" Yes, I have confessed my mistake and apologized. It might still take time for Mas Al to forgive me."

" Don't be so sad, look at those eye bags. So it's not sweet anymore." Gurau Gilang's.

" Ck... not funny mas ...!" Reply Sandra pretended to be upset.

" I'm not funny either... The truth is, you're rich in pandas real to your eyes."

" Haha... Let's just say, pandas are funny." Sandra won't lose.

" Okay, I mean, we don't talk in parks like this, we used to work at Mas Al's restaurant. We often sit in the park and spend time resting." Said Sandra reminiscing about their previous togetherness.

" Do you remember ?" Tanya Gilang happy. She thought Sandra had forgotten all the memories of when they were close.

" Of course. Because I'm so good to me."

" Yes, I know... I'm the nicest and most romantic man in the world !" Gilang responded arrogantly while chuckling softly.

" Oh .. The most romantic in the world ? Whatan ? shoot the girl ended up in the local church because she thought she was perverting in the car near the rice field still remember ??" Sandra asked back scornfully.

" Ah, if that one I don't remember." Sahut Gilang immediately pretended to forget because of embarrassment.

" Haha... Don't remember but why so embarrassed ? Her cheeks are so red.." Sandra Ledek.

" Yes laugh as much.. I'm happier to see you laugh after this even though I'm the laughingstock of you is "Gerrutu Gilang.

" Hehehe, sorry mas .. If you remember it to be funny .. Though it used to be half dead.." Said Sandra again.

" You're right. hehe"I said laughing remembering it.

" Next time, tell me all your problems. Don't get stuck like this. I told you, your brother will always be there for you." Imbuh Gilang with a serious face.

" I'm sorry, I just don't want anyone to worry about me." Sandra.

" For a sister, helping a sister is an obligation. Remember that well. From today on, don't be sad anymore." Said Gilang who now stroked Sandra's head with affection.

Sandra could not help but cry again remembering the tough days she had spent these days. Without hesitation, Sandra spilled her fragile side again in front of Gilang.

With affection as the one who already regarded Sandra as his own sister, Gilang brought Sandra into his arms. Wishing the woman could get some calm after shedding all her sadness these few days.

From a distance, Ms. Reisa who followed them since coming out of the boutique, smiled excitedly as she got another chance to destroy Alfian's household with Sandra.

In the spirit of Bu Reisa took some photos of Sandra's closeness with Gilang. Of course this was interesting for him, because he knew Gilang was a friend of Alfian. What would happen if Alfian knew his wife and best friend were playing with fire behind him ? " It must be very interesting." Thought Miss Reisa.
