Chapter 26 Misunderstanding

Storm and Rara are already crowded on one of their conversation group apps. Since then the notification sounds bombed Dea's phone. Uncomfortable with Azka seriously driving next to him, his phone is finally made into silent mode.

No different from Azka, her phone did not stop vibrating behind her pocket. When in the red lamou, he checks and turns out it is from Chyntia, but ignored Azka, he sets his phone to silent mode.

They had clashed with eyes because of the busyness of their respective phones received notifications. Dea was so lazy to discuss it, she cut off their eye contact first then turned her gaze outside the car glass window.

Arriving at home, Dea immediately rushed to the room and then set up the Isya prayer after which he was busy with his cellphone.

Dea had to super patiently climb up to all the conversations she missed.

"Woi Dea... Where??? Dea Ali!!!  Appear first!" Rara's Message.

"For the time busy playing ball, what time is it but it doesn't show up?" Complaining Storm.

"Hadir.hadir.hadir! So stormy!" Dea began to respond.

"Now clear to us, earlier why can the same Mr. Azka to the apartment trus why until everything in his house?" Ask the storm urgently.

"Ok, I'm clear, but you have to promise first, enough of you know. No matter what happens, you will never connect your mouth to anyone else!"

"okay!" Rara's.

"okay!" Storms.

"I married Azka!"

"What?" Storms.

"What do you think, Dea?" Rara's.

"Yes, swear! Yesterday night it was."

"Wah. wicked lo Dea. Big news like this but we don't know at all." Rara's.

"I'm disappointed in you, Dea. What are we you assuming? Big news like this and we don't know." Storms.

"Bro.sis! Pardon me! Everything just happens. Suddenly Mother Aya and om Arga plan to marry us. I was asked in the afternoon, Isya finished. You don't know how shocked I was then. I don't know and remember anything anymore. I was too scared, I was confused as to what to do. You know for yourself, for me, Arga and Aya's mother, I have considered like my own parents, there is no way I can go against their will. I don't want to hurt them. So, please. I really beg you to understand my current position. You guys are my best friends, please, don't get mad!" Dea has started to tear up. He was worried that Rara and Storm were disappointed in him.

"I really don't mind if it's like that, but are you happy with Azka?"

Rara's question so pierced into Dea's heart.

Be happy? Dea forgets that everyone who marries one of her goals is to be happy.

"Yes, if you're happy, we're happy too. But if Mr. Azka hurts you, says it to me, I will definitely make the same calculation with him." Reply to the fiery Storm.

"Thanks guys, I love you both! I'm doing fine. I just need your prayers and support!"

*****

Azka went straight to her parents' room when she arrived home. It has been a habit of Azka since her mother fell ill, not calm if she did not see her mother's face first.

Azka's phone kept blinking making her unable to focus while chatting with her bundle.

"Obdominal bun, Chyntia!" Answer Azka lazily.

"Ka, mother, remind you. This is not good for your relationship with Dea going forward. Don't make Chyntia hope for you!"

"No, bun. Our deal was clear from the start. Just friends, nothing more. Even if she's Azka's boyfriend, it doesn't matter as long as I'm not bullied. He is Aldo's girlfriend. I'm not a male female usurper, bun. Especially now that there's Dea."

"Yes, mother knows. But as a woman, you can feel that Chyntia does not consider you her friend or best friend, she already has a taste for you, Ka. Mother doesn't want you to be stuck here. Poor Chyntia who wishes more to you, more pity Dea as your rightful wife. After you are healthy, you will carry out your wedding reception, you do not want any misunderstandings in the community. Moreover, Chyntia is a model and artist who is on the rise, must have a lot of fans, lest these fans bully Dea. Aren't you thinking about how Dea feels?"

"There's no way Chyntia's like that. We are just a friends of benefit. More no!" Azka Assertive.

"Mother just reminded. There is a feeling of your wife that you must take care of here. As a married man, you should have your own boundaries with other women, even though it is your best friend. Your wife's interests are paramount above your other interests. Mother does not want you to ignore or leave Dea when Chyntia needs you to attend this event. Although Dea has not loved you, but as a wife, her pride will be greatly hurt. Where there's a wife who accepts her husband being recognized by another woman out there while her husband is as if he's a fugitive."

Azka's heart melos, what about Chyntia who still needs her fake status with her?

"Mother affirm to you, Ka. Once you say out there that you are single or do not admit that you are a married man, then you have dropped the talak to your wife. Remember, the talak is only 3 times, if you deny your marriage even though only joking, still it has been declared to fall talak. Talaak one! For example, there are more different people who ask if you are married or not then you answer yet, talak two has fallen! Then once in a while you joke with your friend that Dea is not your wife then that's already counted three talaq! So don't mess around here. Your status should be clear, Chyntia's status should be clear, as well as Dea."

Azka clasped her mother's hands tightly, they stared at each other deep into each other's beads, diving into each other's feelings.

"Yes mother. Pray that Azka can take Dea's heart back. Azka doesn't want to lose Dea anymore. For Chyntia's business, I'll be firm. Thank you for being reminded. Azka dear mother."

They hugged haru.  Azka was really grateful to her mother who never tired of giving him soothing tips when she was in a strange problem like this.

Azka would not waste this opportunity, it was enough that she was given trust by her mother. He remembered how angry his mother was when she found out what she had done to Dea at school. He was almost crossed out of the family card list. Luckily Yudha and Aunt Winny defended him at that time. Too bad, Azka was too shy and cowardly to ever apologize to both of Dea's parents. Azka is so sorry!

Azka is currently in the library at her home. Azka wondered why Chyntia called him continuously. He sent a message to Chyntia and Aldo shortly after the decision of his parents to marry them that night. Only Aldo came, while Chyntia was shooting in Bandung and could not be reached.

There were 110 missed calls from Chyntia. Azka then called back.

"Hallo Azka, elo really mean to me. How can you marry someone else? What do I have to do now, Ka? Want to put where my face, one Indonesian knows elo it's my girlfriend. You think about it?" Without further ado Chyntia flocked Azka with all her anxiety and sobbing tears.

"Chyne! Wasn't it clear from the beginning? We cannot interfere in each other's lives. I have my own life, so do you. Now I'm married, and I don't think it's any of your business!" Azka Assertive.

"Can't do it, Ka! People out there know we're dating. What about my fans who really hope our relationship lasts, my parents are also very hopeful, Ka! I beg you, Ka. You can't come to me."

"Wait.wait a minute! What do you mean by your parents hoping for our relationship? Don't your parents know that you've been with Aldo for a long time? And anyway, do we have talked about this long before that our status is only a relationship of mutual use and does not apply when each of us already does not need this relationship. Now, I don't need it, I'm married and I don't want to be linked to your business with your fans!"

"Lo is so evil, Ka. I like you, Ka. From the beginning, we were still in school. I love you the same. Why you never understand my feelings. Why, Ka?"

Instantly, Azka's knee joint felt weak. It turned out to be true, Chyntia liked it. Already many friends who remind him first, even his mother as well. Chyntia only used Aldo to get close to her.

"Gue's sorry, Chyn! You know for yourself that I never considered you more than a friend. Forget that feeling and from now on I hope we don't get in touch with each other anymore. I assume it's done. Sorry!"

Azka immediately disconnected her phone. He leaned his body against the wall, staring at the ceiling of the library room where he was currently. This was completely beyond her expectations.

How could Chyntia do this to herself and Aldo? Does Aldo know about this?

Arrhghhhh!!!

Azka grabbed her own hair. This is what he hated most about being friendly with women. At the end of the day there is more feeling and wanting more from him.
