Hello, Ex

Chapter 42

Long distance Marriage is not easy! It is hard to love without meeting. Only a voice that actually makes the desire of both increasingly passionate.

And now, their trust is being tested. Salma admitted wrong for directly accusing Sabda of doing the obvious thing she knew, the man did not.

Just imagine, the man was able to hold his jaw for years. Not to talk nonsense, first when the two were about to start unification, Salma had asked first to the Word. With anyone he has sex. And the Word answered, if he did last time with her.

At that time, Salma regretted asking the Word. He should have been able to hold back his curiosity. With whom the Word did it it was none of his business. Because it's part of the past of the Word. She should be like the Word who can accept her marriage to Endra.

“Why the hell, Ma'am? From there, we did not focus on serving customers. If you are tired of rest!” Biyan who had noticed Salma began to suspect that she was not well.

“Biyan, if someone accuses you, but you don't do it. How did you respond?”

“Agry, Ma'am!” sahut Biyan, loud. "Obviously I'll defend myself" he added, further affirming his answer.

Right, that means the Word is angry at me right now? The proof until this moment there was no incoming message from the man. Unlike usual who almost every hour sent me a message.

“Again ya mas Sabda?” asked Biyan curiously.

Salma nodded. "I'm wrong!" I'm Salma, without shame.

“Diemin first, Ma'am! wait until the emotions subside. Men can not be invited to chat if they are experiencing emotions.”

Salma tried to follow Biyan's advice. "I'll try it."

The two compactly turned their heads towards the stairs, when they heard the sound of footsteps. Finally Aruni came out of the nest.

The woman's face looked pale, her body was lax. Salma was concerned about what was happening to Aruni. He knew it was hard for him. A sense of hesitation to just ask who the father of the fetus in his stomach was also appearing. Salma could only wait until Aruni was ready to tell her.

“Mbak Salma, realize that your face is also pale, rich people lack blood that is!” chirped Biyan, when he realized the faces of the two were almost as pale.

“O, yes? my body feels weak, my head is a little dizzy,” he lamented while laughing.

“Mbak Ma ...” suddenly Aruni made a sound, he clasped Salma's hands, then shook his head slowly as if he was telling something. In Aruni's mind, maybe Salma was like this as a result of thinking about her conjecture this morning. “Not! Not Mas Sabda the biological father of the fetus in my womb.”

Biyan's eyes fumbled, hearing what Aruni said. So this is what kept them quiet for most of the day? Aruni's pregnant? Then with who? Who's the guy? Various questions just popped into Biyan's head. As much as his energy held his lips to not throw a question.

Unlike Salma, she was relieved to hear Aruni's reply. Fear changes with guilt. Yes, he's getting more guilty of the Word.

“Dia—dia, .. she, the man was ex-husband of Salma.”

Now it was Salma's turn to be surprised to hear Aruni's confession. That means, Endra did it already?! “Run?!” snapped Salma, as if reluctant to believe what Aruni threw. The figure of Endra will definitely think twice about doing that, right?

Aruni's tears flowed back. The woman was crying again. "Hug me, Ma'am! I am not strong in this! I can get pregnant without a husband!" Aruni said in between tears that still sounded heartbreaking.

Aruni seemed to satisfy himself crying in the arms of Salma. His body trembled violently, but amazingly, again, as hard as he cried it did not change things. She remained pregnant, the seed of the depraved man who snatched away her crown that night.

After starting to calm down, slowly Aruni told the chronology of the events of the dark night. Aruni explained in detail the events that he never wanted in his life.

It all started when Salma left, at that time Sabda took them to stay at the hotel, then at night they continued to go to Semarang. Without Salma knowing, Endra came to the store drunk.

Endra searches for Salma's whereabouts, but is unable to find Salma. Endra instead attacked Aruni who happened to be in the tavern. The bastard thought Aruni was Salma, so the terrible incident was inevitable. No one could help Aruni that night, since the afternoon he was alone in the tavern. Biyan had already returned home, coincidentally the man had come home early because his mother had fallen ill. While Mr. Farhan himself is still in Malang, and the next day just returned.

Originally Aruni wanted to hide all of this, he could still pretend without anything happening by covering everything up. But beyond prediction, she was pregnant. Nothing else can be covered because surely the stomach will be enlarged.

“I'm confused how to explain to mom, Ma'am. He must be disappointed with me. I hate myself who can't take care of myself.” After the incident the disappointed face of his mother always haunts Aruni's nights. He couldn't see it. "Did I die, Ma'am! This fetus was the result of an accident. Definitely legalized!"

"Don't, Run! Don't be a cruel mother to your own flesh and blood!" Salma remembered the incident earlier this morning, Word alone might currently want a second child. But why should the child-given Aruni be eliminated?

“I can marry you, Run! I'm ready to take responsibility. I will acknowledge the baby as our child.” Biyan interrupted, she also calmed Aruni. As if to tell, if everything will be okay.

While Aruni just stared pettyly at Biyan, covering up his inability to love the man. “Why are you so stupid, Yan! I'm pregnant not your flesh and blood, but you still want to accept me? You are a good man, there are still many women out there who deserve you. I won't get you into this.”

Biyan bowed his head, there was a sense of resentment that was harbored, repeatedly he tried to enter the life of Aruni but was always rejected outright. And now, in this kind of situation, he was still rejected, what was wrong with him?

“I'll call Endra I'll ask him for responsibility.” Salma interrupts, the best path to Aruni's troubles is to tell the man.

“He won't remember anything, Ma! He's drunk too much! All he knows is that I'm you, ma'am! I don't want to marry him anyway! i hateit. All my life I hated him! He's ruined my future.” Aruni's cry broke again making Salma more tightly embrace Aruni's body.

They were silent, as if busy looking for the right solution for Aruni. “Whatever your decision I will support you, Run! Remember, the world is not over. There's a new life in your womb. We can take care of him together. But for a while, you should be able to maintain the condition so that your baby is healthy. Tomorrow I'll take you to check! We can see his condition.”

“If you don't want to marry me. I'll protect you, we can coexist. I can play the role of a father to your son, do not worry Run, you are not alone.” finally the sincerity of Biyan's love eliminates his frustration. Whatever Aruni's condition is like this, he will always be there for him.

Aruni sobbed in Salma's arms. “I'm scared, Ma'am! I'm afraid I can't handle all this.”

Hearing Aruni's every complaint, Salma suddenly worried about leaving the store. Is she able to change her decision, at least wait until Aruni gives birth. “We will always be there for you, Run! We are family, we will always protect you! We'll take care of your son together!”

Their conversation ended when a visitor came to the store. They return to serve customers while enduring the grief that is plaguing them.

The store closed early tonight. At eight o'clock in the night, Salma had already entered the room, to be honest her body was also not okay. A little carefree, maybe because her period has not been so smooth. So his stomach still feels cramping.

Plus there's no notification of Ody's father's number. Want to persuade Aundy to call too, the girl was asleep. There was no other way, Salma decided to send a short message to the Word number.

Salma: I'm not ready to go to Tabalong yet, let me stay here any longer.
