Forgive Me, Love

86. Sorry Boby

The day keeps changing. It has been five days since the departure of Novia, Boby just returned from Surabaya. When he arrived home, he felt strange. The house feels empty. He walked into his room and put the suitcase he was carrying. Then he came back out.

" bi.bi Susi." call Boby.

Bi Susi entered the main house. Then he approached Boby.

" Eh, Boby's gone home. Sorry, aunt doesn't know. "

" It's not pa-pa bi. Bi, can you please make warm ginger bi. My body feels tired. "

" Yes mas. Hold on, auntie makein. "

Then the aunt went to the kitchen. Boby walked into the living room. It's quiet, like no one's set foot in there. Then go back to the kitchen, sit in the dining chair. He's spreading his eyes. Lastly, his eyes were fixed on Novia's room. The room looks very closed.

Does he not know that I am coming home? Why didn't he leave the room? Ask Boby in my heart. Boby was busy with his own thoughts when bi Susi came with a glass of warm ginger.

Bi Susi looked at Boby's point of view. What his employer actually thought. Does his wife miss his wife? He's just a head-scalp.

" This is mas yahenya. "

Boby was a little surprised. " Yes, thanks. " Boby sipped his god.

" Did anything happen while I was away bi? " ask Boby.

" No mas. " said aunt lied.

Aunty won't tell Boby that Novia's not home now. Because Boby is still tired after traveling. He'll wait for the right time.

" Aunty to the back again. If you need anything, call aunt again. "

Boby nodded while drinking his ginger. Boby's heart really misses Novia. He wanted to see the beautiful face of his wife.

Boby got up from his seat, walking towards Novia's room. At the door, he stopped. He hesitated to open the door. Was his wife still angry about the incident at that time? That's why he didn't come out when Boby came home.

Finally he returned to his seat. He abandoned his intention to see his wife. He finished the ginger, then went to the room and rested.

••••

It's been almost a week Boby's at home. And during that time, she never met Novia at home. During that time he also did not meet with Karell. Even he reportedly did not get.

Boby decides to contact Karell first. He's worried that Karell might get sick. Because Karell never disappears without news except when he accidentally leaves Boby first.

Boby called Karell many times but was not picked up. Not even messages are read. Boby went to Karell's house.

Tok...tok..tok..beep the door on the tap.

" Eh, Boby. "greet the maid at Karell's house.

" Karell is bi? " ask Boby

" There's a mas. Please enter the mas. Auntie call non Karell for a second. "

Boby went into the house. Aunt went to call Karell. Not long after, Karell arrived at the living room.

" Boby..."

" Hey, Rell. "

Karell sat on the long sofa in front of Boby sitting down.

" You're healthy, right? "

Karell nodded without looking at Boby.

" Why not pick up my phone? "

" No pa-pa. " answered Karell briefly.

" Am I doing you wrong? "

" What do you want to ask? I will answer as honestly as possible. "

Karell took a deep breath before talking back to Boby.

" Is Novia really your cousin? "

Deg. Boby was surprised by Karell's question. He became misbehaved.

" l-iya. He's my cousin " replied Boby.

" really? Is she pregnant? "

Boby spontaneously looked towards Karell. He was surprised to return with Karell's question.

" Who said it? "

" I'm not blind. I saw for myself that she was pregnant at your house. Where is her husband? Why is he staying with you? "

Boby took a deep breath and then exhaled it rough.

" What do you really want to know? Why is your question like interrogating me? "

" I told you in the beginning, so that you can be honest, so that I can be honest with you. Again I ask. Who exactly is Novia? "

Boby was silent and did not answer and bowed.

" He's your wife, right? And she's pregnant with your child too? "

Twice the shock Boby felt. Where did Karell know he was married.

" Why haven't you been honest from the beginning. If I had known that you were married and your wife was pregnant, I would not have entered your household. I feel like I am the worst person. "

Karell took a breath before continuing his words. Boby could only quietly listen to Karell's words.

" I'll be honest with you now. I should have told you this later after I actually had you. But it seems impossible. Actually I was once in your wife's position. " Karell stopped the story.

" You mean? "

" Your wife's condition is not good. Just like my condition at the time. I was, in fact, pregnant too. "

" What? " Boby was surprised.

" I'm sorry Bob if you think I'm tricking you. You know what life is like outside. Moreover, my job is to be a model, meet many various kinds of men. There ...I was entangled by the love of a fellow model friend. I was consumed by his seduction so I gave my kindness to him. " Karell started shedding tears.

Boby can only be silent without knowing how to express his current feelings.

" Because of that relationship, I got pregnant. But after I found out I was pregnant, the man left me. He married another woman. Due to severe stress, I ended up losing the baby that was still in my womb. I was so devastated after that incident. Losing a child is painful, Boby. "

" So.have you really betrayed me? Not just leaving me? " ask Boby in a cynical tone.

" I'm sorry Boby. It's up to you now if you want to hate me. Because I deserve to be hated. No problem for me. " Karell wiped his tears.

" I beg you, return to your wife and child. Don't let you lose them. You will be truly sorry if something happens to your prospective child. "

" What's wrong with my son-in-law? "

" I've already said it. Your wife's condition was the same as mine at the time. You certainly do not know that your wife was treated in the hospital twice because of great inner pressure. That makes the content disturbed. Don't lose your child because of your mistakes. "

" What? " Boby is again surprised by the words of Karell.

He really did not know if his wife had ever been hospitalized. His heart seemed to be out of place. He got up from his seat and walked out of Karell's house just like that. All she had in mind right now was Novia and her child-to-be.
