Hello, Ex
Chapter 5
“Sorry, Ma'am I told you the same. But ngeyel said he knows Salma.” Aruni felt guilty for letting Sabda into the tavern, the woman did not know that Sabda was the ex-husband of her partner.
“I want to talk to you!” sela Sabda, dashed Salma's gaze that was fixed towards him. The Word desperately held the spirit of his monk who wanted to immediately pull Salma into the embrace, in order to treat the longing that had been tormenting his mind and body.
“Can't!” Salma immediately refused the request of the Word, because soon it was about to go to the tomb of Astrid.
“Salma ...” long breath sounds clear on the lips of the Word.
“Come next time, I'm having business.” Salma remembered the message that the Word sent last night, there was no benefit to him also constantly avoiding the man. Worried that someday, it would result in Aundy having trouble meeting him.
“Then I will wait here until your business is done.”
Salma took a deep breath, she was eager to get angry at the Word. But it's hard to hate that guy. “Copies today are closed! So you better come back home, come next time.”
“Lagian, what do you want to talk about? Our relationship is over. Don't come just to talk to me, I don't want to be labeled a actor by your wife,”.
The eyeballs of the Word are perfectly rounded, in his heart deepened, since when did I have a wife? he was still at home because all this time no one could be as perfect as Amora.
When the Word wants to clear up misunderstandings. There was a motorcycle horn. As a result, Sabda was forced to delay his intention.
The two now compactly turned their heads towards the door, welcoming the arrival of a man who had just entered the tavern.
“You leaving now, Mas?” Salma greeted Farhan who had just entered the tavern.
The man looked confused, staring at Salma and Sabda alternately. “Did I miss something?” farhan asked, curiosity slowly appearing.
“Ti—no, Mas. Come on if you want to leave!” invite Salma, precede Farhan— did not even say goodbye first to the Word.
“I'll be waiting for you, Sal!” shouted the Word, come out when Arun forced him to leave.
“Run, shop key!”
The cry went on the air, Salma as if he did not care about the Word. He just wants the Word to go. Afraid that the Word will know his heart at this time.
“Ka—you Word?” ask Farhan, Iirih.
The word stared off at Farhan.
“Just relax, Mas.” after patting the shoulder of the Word twice, Farhan then passed, following Salma who was already in the car.
Sabda himself refused to leave the store. He was like an unemployed man basking in the sun, walking back and forth waiting for Salma's return.
“Salma won't be able to get married so soon? But, they live one house!” some speculation arose in the mind of the Word, making his heart even more uneasy.
Almost three hours of the Word waiting for Salma to return, finally the wait was not in vain. The Dakar car driven by the driver stopped right in front of the tavern. The Word welcomes Salma with a smile.
Instead of reciprocating the hospitality that the Word shows. Salma asked in a sharp tone. “You talk where?”
“In that room means—I need more privacy space for both of us, there can be no one.” Sabda glanced at the direction of Farhan's arrival. The man's face looked so pale.
“I don't have much time! Especially to hear your babble that has no benefit.”
“Yes, I'll talk to you right away after it's just the two of us.” Then the Word drew Salma's wrist, leading her away from the tavern.
Salma felt uneasy, she tried to remove the hand link of Sabda, not wanting to have physical contact with the man.
The Word let Salma's hand loose. He walked towards the shoreline, letting Salma follow in his footsteps.
Arriving there, Sabda let Salma sit on the reef on the coast. Deliberately take off his hat, then put it on Salma's head.
“We need to speak four eyes. It seems, all this time you've been mistaken, thinking you're married to Hani. You need to know, Sal— I'm not married to Hani. We are not a match because Hani prefers her lover, until here understand?” whatever Hani did to cancel their marriage, she did not want to open it in front of Salma.
Salma rolled her eyeballs, digesting what the Word had just said, What is her speech to be believed? Fearing that Sabda had divorced Hani, because he wanted to pursue her again. Seeing the attitude of the Word that is so obedient to the mother, it seems impossible if Bu Habibah does not take another path.
“Still not believing? On the night of Midodareni, Hani brings her lover.” Word is busy taking out his wallet.
Salma's first purse was presented when they celebrated their first wedding anniversary. He came to the courier for the sake of the gift arriving on time. And apparently, until this moment the wallet is still used by the Word, although it is no longer clear shape.
“See, my ID is still de - u de-a read, DUDA!” the breath of the Word stinged. “And, I want you to be honest, was that man your husband?”
“Aaan anyway? Don't ask around! None of your business.” Salma's hand removed the hand of the Word.
“That's my business, I have to know the seeds, weights, and bebet that become a father. And according to my judgment, he's not the right guy!”
Salma laughed at the Word. A deliberately made laugh. “Then, what exactly is it like?”
“As me!”
Salma shook her head slowly. “The times have changed, Word! but your over PD hasn't changed, it's becoming.”
“Sal, if he is not your husband—give me a chance to reclaim your heart.” instead of responding to Salma's words, Kekeh says his intentions. There was no time to take Salma's heart. “One year I went crazy because of you, I was looking for information about you. And I'm grateful to find you here, in good condition.”
Salma just stared at the expanse of the open sea in front of him. His mind is getting tangled, like a thread that does not meet the end of which.
“I don't want to promise the grandiose. I just want us to get through the rest of our time in three.”
“Not you know—I never gave a second chance to a traitor. Right now, my life is happy, Sabda! I don't need a guy like you because I can protect myself, just like I used to because you already know I'm here, whenever you can meet Ody.”
Salma took off her hat, then returned the hat to Sabda. He was about to step away from the Word, but was immediately restrained by the Word. Sassy Sabda hugged him tightly, even until Salma had trouble catching her breath.
“Hardheadedness, selfish. Damn why I can't run from your love prison. Salma—aku never cheated, I just try to be a good friend when my friend needs advice,” the Word, maybe this is the right time to explain everything to Salma.
