I Can Without You

52. Surprising News

⁇ ️: Assalamu'alaikum, baby. Unfortunately there is a little problem with the raw material supplier in the cafe. Today also Mas must be finished-in and datengin directly there. It's in a hilly area on the outskirts of town. No pa-pa, right, baby? Oh yes, I have asked Hamzah to invite you when you come home from work later. If for Keinan, Mas also asked Adit to help him come home later. Sorry, yeah, honey. Very sad about it.

Shofi reads the message the Cloud sent to him. Shofi smiled then immediately typed in a reply message for her husband.

⁇ ️: Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas. Yes, Mas. Not a pa-pa. Mas's responsibility to solve the cafe's problems is more important. Mas Clouds be careful on the road, yeah. I pray that his business will run smoothly later and Mas can go home safely soon.

After sending a reply message to Awan, shortly afterwards a reply message from Cloud went back to Shofi's phone.

️: Aamiin Ya robbal 'aalamiin 🤲. Thanks for the prayer, baby. Be careful too, yeah. Take care of our baby. After the business is done, we will be home soon. I love you Shofi's. Lovely love you 😘.

Shofi scrunched his forehead as he chuckled at the reply to the message from the Cloud. The clouds don't usually send messages like this. Clouds usually reveal it more directly. Either when they were together or over the phone.

As far as Shofi can remember, this was the first time her husband had sent such a romantic message.

Not wanting her husband to wait too long, Shofi then typed in her reply again.

⁇ ️: Love you too Mas Awan. Shofi is also very fond of the Cloud. Cepet home, yes. Me, Keinan, and our future baby are waiting for Mas at home.

️: Ready, my dear.

Shofi smiled again. After that, Shofi continued his work.

☘️☘️☘️

Shofi, Billa, Hana, and Tari had just returned from their lunch. The four beauties stopped and chatted for a moment near Shofi and Hana's workbench. The rest hour was still around ten minutes away at this time.

"Cieee, who wants to get married, from then on a smile while playing HP," led Tari to Hana who was smiling herself while playing her phone.

"Iiihhh, Ma'am Dance mah. Just another balesin WA aja really," said Hana a little misbehavior while saving his phone back.

"WA from the future husband, right?" ask Billa who teased Hana too.

"Mbak Billa," exclaimed Hana increasingly embarrassed and misbehaved.

Laughter Dance and Billa instantly broke apart. Shofi who had sat himself in his work chair was also a little laugh at the behavior of his friends.

All of a sudden, though,

And prang!!!

Shofi's hand accidentally nudged the family photo on Shofi's desk so that it fell and broke.

"Astaghfirullah hal adziim," shocked Shofi while holding his chest.

Shofi, Billa, Hana, and Tari were immediately shocked.

"You're not pa-pa, are you, Shofi?" billa asked worriedly who came straight to Shofi and held his shoulder.

"I-I'm not pa-pa anyway, Ma'am," Shofi replied, still trying to normalize his sudden heartbeat palpitating in shock.

"Yes, Ma'am Dance. Thanks, yes," Shofi replied.

Dari nodded her head then crouched down to collect the broken glass from the broken picture frame.

Hana took the picture frame that fell and handed it back to Shofi.

"This is the picture" said Hana.

"Thank you, Hana," said Shofi while receiving a picture frame that had no glass from Hana.

Dance immediately threw the glass shards she had collected into the trash. While Billa and Hana stand on the right and left of Shofi while holding Shofi's shoulder.

Shofi looked at the family photo in his hand. Photos of him, the Cloud, and Keinan. For some reason, Shofi suddenly felt very worried at this time. Shofi felt like something had happened.

"Why did it fall anyway, Ma'am?" ask Hana carefully.

"No idea, Han. I think the reluctance of Mbak's hand accidentally," replied Shofi still with a look of anxiety.

"Yes already. Just a broken picture frame, we can change it again. What matters is that you're okay, Shof," Billa said.

"But suddenly my feelings become not very good, Ma'am," said Shofi.

"Don't think too much, Shofi. The picture frame fell and broke because it was unintentionally a nudge with you, that's all right," said Tari who had just returned after throwing broken glass into the trash.

"Yes, Shofi. Don't think anything like that. It was just an unintentional incident" added Billa.

"Yes, Mother. I hope so," replied Shofi, softly.

And suddenly,

"There has been an accident in a hilly area on the outskirts of the city. A truck carrying fruit and vegetables had a brake blong and hit several vehicles in front of it. A silver Av*nza with police number B 4488 AD fell into a ravine on the side of the road. Several motorcycles also involved in the accident also suffered considerable damage. The evacuation and identification process is still ongoing from the police."

There was a loud news from the television hanging on the wall of the office near the pantry, which was usually turned on when the break was in progress as it is today.

Shofi rounded his eyes.

"A 4488 AD? That's Mas Awan's car," Shofi chanted suddenly.

Billa, Hana, Tari, and also some of their coworkers who had already returned from their breaks immediately turned to Shofi in surprise.

Shofi immediately stood up from his seat in panic.

"That's Mas Awan's car, Ma'am. And earlier Mas Awan said to me if he wanted to go to the hills on the outskirts of the city to go to the raw material supplier in his cafe," shofi said in a panic while holding Billa's hand beside him.

"Shofi, you calm down, Shofi. Don't panic yet. We confirm the truth of the news. Okay?" said Billa was trying to calm the panicked Shofi.

Hana and Tari also try to calm Shofi down. Both embrace and rub the back and arms of Shofi to be able to calm the pregnant woman who looks very panicked.
