Hello, Ex

Chapter 31

The two look at each other. "Mas Farhan's answer determined my decision. So, please be honest!” Salma.

From Farhan's current gaze, Salma could already see the look of doubt the man showed. How could he accept a man who does not love him.

“Salma, can we talk four eyes?!”

Salma smiled wryly. Seeing Farhan's pleading gaze, Salma finally gave Farhan a chance. "Sir, let's talk to Mas Farhan." Salma whispered next to Arif's ear. He led Farhan straight to the kitchen, after receiving permission from the man.

Currently, the two of them were already in the kitchen area leaving their parents behind. A minute passed by and only silence was on the air.

Salma was waiting for Farhan's answer to the question that had been thrown. But, right now he seemed to have no answer whatsoever from Farhan. The man nodded while bowing his head.

“So, yes or no, Mas?” salma asked, not wanting to linger with Farhan and making their families wait. “Mas Farhan still loves Astrid, right? The proof was not able to answer directly.”

A pair of Farhan's palms clenched tightly, and Salma could witness that. He only laughed discordantly, responding to Farhan's current attitude.

“Didn't you still love the Word?" farhan asked, as if finding a break-even situation between the two. "Salma, we can help each other, just like I told you before. Not to forget the ex we have to start with a new person. And I feel like you're the right person. We both can't forget the former.”

“I don't think so, Mas!” Salma tried to calm down. “The person I love is still alive, while Astrid's mother is dead. It should be underlined that we still love each other. I'm sure I can live with him. Until this very moment, no one has been able to expel the Mas Sabda from my heart. I fell in love with her. B-nyebelin whatever that guy is! I feel happy when I see him.” Salma's face looks frustrated, it feels really hard to say honestly about his feelings. Especially someone concerned does not know it.

“Salma, but your relationship cannot continue! You're aware of his mother's nature, right?”

“Yes, we're working on that! Got his mother's blessing.” Salma explained. “Sorry, Mom. I learned from my marriage to Mas Endra. My relationship with her is over because her heart has not run away from the past. And I don't want that to happen again. Astrid cannot be cheated on, but I cannot have your heart either. Isn't that much more painful? It's the same as lying to yourself.”

There was a sense of disbelief that Farhan showed after Salma told him that. But whatever power Salma spoke was true. Perhaps, all this time he was worried about Salma. worried that the fragile woman would be hurt even more.

“Salma prayed that in the future, Mas Farhan could find a good woman, who could accept Farhan mas. Time goes on, Mom. Losing it is certain, but we also have to move on. Astrid will be sad to see you like this. He loved you, until the end of his breath. He'll be so angry to see you slumped in his memories. Moreover, using me as a tool to forget about it! He must be pissed at me too.”

Farhan wanted to confirm again Salma's answer. “You sure, Sal? Are you sure you don't want to marry me?”

Salma shook her head slowly. “Sorry, Mas.”

“Do you want to marry Sabda again?” Farhan was curious about what Salma wanted to do about his relationship with the Word.

“Doain is best for us, Mas. In addition to our feelings of still love, all for Ody, we want to see Ody grow up among the people he loves.”

Farhan smiled wryly. “Sorry if my arrival bothers you,” murmured.

“Ah, no. I was just surprised to see Mas Farhan bring Pak Eko and bu Andini to Semarang.”

It was time for Farhan to surrender. Accept with grace the decision chosen by Salma. “God willing, I can accept your decision, Sal! You're right, he loved me until the end of his breath. I should have done it too. Maybe, all this time I've only been sympathetic to you.”

“Thank you, Mas. But my advice is, you are still young! So look for a woman who can make Mas Farhan's heart comfortable.”

Farhan nodded his head again. “But, I ask one thing for you!”

“What?”

“Stay back to store yes. Do not let because of this incident, our relationship is broken. I promise I'll know the limits of our relationship. Let's just say there's no incident today that will result in our relationship getting awkward.”

They both laughed a little.

“After this, I will go straight home to Malang, take care of my work there. The shop! send the kids too!” farhan's Message.

“Live? Don't want to walk—jalan first in Semarang?” ask Salma. "Enjoy the hot air here. Mommy and dad are tired too, right?!"

“I don't really know Semarang area. Unless you want to be her tour guide.”

“Try!” Salma smiled brightly, until her smile caused a misunderstanding of a man who had just entered the house through the kitchen door.

“Papa Farhan!” aundy's blaring cry distracted the two of them.

“Hai, Aundy! Papa has souvenirs for you.” Farhan approached Aundy and hugged her tightly. It is like sowing affection on his own daughter.

"Why is this here?" looking at Aundy so curious, feeling uneasy she unraveled her embrace.

Their voices accompanied Salma and the Word who exchanged glances. Salma tried to say hello with a smile, another case with the Word that displays a disappointed look.

"Mother, can I have a picnic?"

The voice shifted Salma's focus. He then nodded making the Word even more misunderstood.

"So you accepted it?" tanya Sabda lirih, after seeing the two people pass from the kitchen area.

"What net?"

"Five Farhan's proposal, he came to propose to you, didn't he?"

"Yes, you're right. He proposed to me." Salma chuckled, as if to show her heart that was now blooming.

"You want to marry him?"

"I haven't answered anything." Salma smiled knot. He deliberately lied hoping that the Word would believe his words. "just go on a picnic, yuk!"

"No, I don't want to interrupt your show with your man!"

Salma stepped forward towards the Word. He whispered right in front of the face of the Word. "This is a chance that you can melt again, Mom! I love you, for me nothing can replace your position in my heart. And again, there is no man worthy of you to be the father of our son! Sorry for my attitude this morning, I'm too demanding of you to do what I want."

"So, no matter what happens you will stay beside me?!"

"Hm?"

"All right! I'll be fine if you're by my side! I hope you won't forget this."

"So, you wanna go on a picnic?"

"Yes. That man won't tease you!"
