Chapter 47

"How, Bun?"

Hastari shook her head, "Dian's phone hasn't been in contact since last night"

"Have you tried calling her home?"

"It has. They said Dian didn't come home last night. Even this morning Dian had not gone back. Mother is worried"

"Dian is an independent woman, Bun. He can also defend himself. I'm sure he'll be fine. Maybe the phone's out of battery"

"Well, you're right. Then, Mother will leave now for her office. Hope you can meet Dian. And may Dian be generous. You will also go visit Vika, right? Be prepared"

Saka nodded, after driving Mommy to the front porch and into an online taxi. Saka went back inside the house. Vika's husband prepares to visit his wife. Now she has no car, so Saka has to use the vehicle online wherever she goes.

Finished locking the door, Saka waited for the online taxi she just ordered in front of the house. There are many things that this man thinks. It's not just Vika's problem. But also he who does not have a job now. Spending every month is certain. Saka has no income. While busy daydreaming with his mind, the ringing of his cellphone made Saka aware of daydreams.

[Camp]

[Good morning, are you really Avika Saraswati's sister's husband?]

[Yes, right, myself]

[We're from the police, sir. Wanted to tell him that your wife got into a fight with another prisoner. At the moment, he is in the hospital]

Saka's heart was beating so fast. His body was limp for a moment.

[L-then how's the condition now? What about the contents? And which hospital is my wife in?]

[Your wife is in hospital X. For his condition now, we don't know yet. The doctor is still checking it]

[Alright, thanks for the information sir. I'll be there soon]

Once the online taxi that was ordered arrived, not wasting time, Saka immediately got into the car.

"Sir, we're not going to the police station. We're going to hospital X"

"Good, Mas"

Hopefully Vika and her content are good - fine

Saka was constantly praying that his wife and son would be okay. "Sir, faster a little yes"

"Well, it's hard. Working hours like this the streets are crowded"

"Is there no other way to the hospital, sir?"

"Only the main road, Mas"

Saka was only able to sigh violently. In addition to the traffic, the car was forced to stop several times because of the red light. Saka wanted to curse, but he held back. He sometimes stared at the clock in his hand.

"Sir, go a little faster" he asked again

The driver glanced at Saka through the rearview mirror, then nodded. The journey felt so long for Saka. If the distance of the hospital was not far, Saka would rather run than wait like this.

🍀🍀🍀

"Thank you, sir" Saka immediately ran inside after giving the driver a fare. He asked the receptionist and searched his wife's room for treatment. Seeing the police on guard, Saka believes that's where Vika is.

"Sorry, Sir. I'm Avika Saraswati's husband"

"Then, please come in"

Saka stepped in a hurry, as soon as he passed the door, he could see his wife's body lying weakly on the bed. Some bruises can be a clear massage on the wife's face. But Saka's first concern is Vika's stomach. The woman's stomach is still swollen, meaning Vika content is good - fine. It makes Saka relieved and grateful.

"You're the patient's husband?" ask the nurse who is guarding Vika

"How's my wife doing, sus?"

"The patient had several wounds on his face and body. Luckily the content did not suffer a collision. Her fetus is healthy and strong"

"Thank you for taking care of my wife, sus"

"Same - same, sir. Since you're here, excuse me"

After the sister's departure, Saka sat on the chair beside her bed. The man was paying close attention to Vika's condition now. The temples, under the nose and also Vika's cheeks were bruised. His left arm was also scratched and suffered a blister.

"Our kids are okay, aren't they?" ask Vika

"He's fine. She's strong"

Vika stroked her stomach which still felt big.

"What's really going on, Vik?"

Vika looked at Saka. There was anger, annoyance and emotion because Vika felt, her husband ignored her. Since yesterday Saka has not visited him at all. Fear began to hurt him. He's in jail, and Vika doesn't know what's going on out there. Diandra could have used this to take Saka back.

"Vik, are you okay?"

"How can you ask that, Mom! Where there is good - fine when in custody! You think it's good to live in a prison?! I even slept on a mat!"

"-I mean not like that? I'm asking you about your condition now"

Vika looked at Saka sharply, "What have you done to help me be free?!"

Saka was silent, there was nothing the man did but beg for Diandra's mercy. And if Vika finds out, Saka is sure, his wife will be very angry.

"Why silence? You must have done nothing - what?" Vika laughed blandly, "You must be happy because I'm in jail!"

"Vik, why are you saying that?"

"If you care, you'll try to set me free, Mom! You will fight for my freedom! But what is the evidence? You're like a fool now! You just keep quiet without doing anything! Or ... You deliberately kept me quiet because you wished you could go back to that damn woman! Right?!"

"That's not true! I've been trying! I even threw away my pride just for the sake of being able to set you free! But you're accusing me of not - no!"

Vika laughed again, "You think I believe?"

"That's the truth, Vik. Even Mother is trying to help you even if you always piss her off!"

"Wah - whoa. So you two are trying to get me out of jail? In what way? Hiring lawyers? Or apply for a detention hold for me? What have you done?"

Saka looked at Vika doubtfully, he was not sure to tell Vika what Dian wanted.

"Again you are silent. How can I believe what you say! Even to prove it you can't!"

"I begged Diandra to let him set you free! Today Mother also met Dian to beg the same thing!"

Deg

Vika looked at her husband in disbelief. Instead of hiring a lawyer or finding money to release her, Saka dropped her self-esteem in front of Diandra. A woman who has made her life hell.

"You begged Diandra?"

Saka lowered his head weakly, "I have no other choice, Vik"

Vika clenched her hands, "Mas! You are a great contractor! You have great people! You can also apply for a loan from the bank! Why even beg the fucking woman! You're just making him laugh at us more, Mas!!" vika shouted furiously

"Everyone is avoiding me because of our scandal! Even if I borrow money in the bank, what can I make collateral? The cost of hiring a lawyer is expensive Vik. Moreover, your case could be related to premeditated murder!"

"Now I know how far you're going for me, Mom! You are too calculating and do not want to try!"

Saka is frustrated at Vika's attitude, "You've always never appreciated what I did Vik!"

"How can I appreciate your efforts if you beg my enemies!" Vika looked so emotional, "Then what did the woman ask for instead? I'm sure Dian wouldn't give her a hand with just - just right?!"

"You sure you want to know?"

"Wind to know doesn't mean I agree you're begging her, Mas. I just want to know what that fucking woman wants?" Vika looked at the agitated-looking Saka, "He wants to exchange you for my freedom?"

Saka looked at Vika in shock, and it made Vika laugh, "She is indeed a demonic woman! He deliberately took advantage of this opportunity to reclaim you!!"

"But I don't approve, Vik"

"Why? You still care about me? Don't you want to go back to him? Why don't you agree to his wishes?!" ask Vika coldly

Saka did not answer, "Listen to me well, Mas! I'd rather stay in jail for a lifetime than exchange your freedom for mine!"
