I'm Not Your Bridge

Chapter 20

Nayyara felt something strange in her heart when Albert had not seen her for days. Something like a hollow feeling.

He looked repeatedly at the door, hoping it would open and reveal Albert behind it. But once the door opened, all that came was for Inah to bring her food.

Nayyara bowed lethargic, refusing to eat. "No, bik, I don't want to eat. Just let him get angry. He doesn't care about me anymore.

Namhn turned out that Nayyara's assumption was wrong. Albert appears behind the door. Apparently he was there and listened to their conversation. "Who said I don't care about you anymore?."

Seeing who was coming, Nayyara came down from the bed and was about to hug him. But Albert stopped him quickly. "Stop there. You stupid girl! Lookyourhand. You want your hands to bleed again?."

Nayyara turned to her wrist which was still stuck with an intravenous needle and then grinned at the horse. "Sorry, I forgot!"

"Now sit back and eat fast. Or I'll go again and never see you forever."

"Bas on the forcible!" nayyara snorted a little annoyed. But even so, he still obeyed Albert's words.

Albert turned to look at Inah and asked for the food box he was holding. "Give me the food box, bik. Let me feed him." Then threw the body on the chair beside Nayyara's bed.

Take a spoonful of food and thrust it in front of Nayyara. "Open your mouth!" said flat.

Nayyara opened her mouth and accepted a bribe from Albert. This time he did not argue anymore.

Slowly he chewed and swallowed the food. He felt the radiance of love so sincere from every spoonful of food that was fed into his mouth.

"Why do you love me" he asked suddenly.

Albert was stunned to hear Nayyara's question. But he soon regained control. "I don't need a reason to fall in love with you. Because the feeling of love arises from the heart, not from the eyes."

Nayyara's heart warmed to Albert's reply. Just this time he felt the sincerity of someone's love. Even when she was with her husband, she never felt this feeling.

There is a contradiction in Nayyara. Between acknowledging the sincerity of Albert's love or denying it. Especially now that she is still a wife.

Albert returned to feed Nayyara until the food box was gone. "Good! Now drink your medicine" he said, handing over the medicine he should drink with a glass of water.

Nayyara returned just like that with Albert's orders. Take the medicine and drink it straight away.

"Good! Now get some rest. I'm gonna go for a second!" albert said as he got up from his seat.

Grepp...Nayyara clasped Albert's hand as if afraid of loss. His eyes look sad. "Where are you going? Why would you leave me again? Didn't you promise not to go again if I wanted to eat?."

Albert smiled shadyly at Nayyara's question. In his heart he was overjoyed to know that Nayyara was bound and afraid of losing her.

"Don't be afraid! I'm just going away for a second. There's something important I need to do. I promise I'll be back as soon as my business is done."

"Promise??" nayyara asked for certainty.

"Yes! I promise."

"Alright, then you can go" he said, letting go of his grasp. "Hurry up and get your business back!."

Albert nodded his head and turned to stare. "I'll take Nayyara for a second, bik. I'll be right back."

"Good, sir. I'll keep non Nayyara as long as master goes."

Albert disappeared behind the door.

...****************...

"Everything is done! I've arranged everything according to what you asked."

"Good! Everything is according to our plan. I want all business done today."

"Have you confirmed Aaron signed the papers?."

"Yes! Even now he's waiting for you in the office."

"All right! we're going to the office now!."

They both get into the car with Arfa acting as the driver.

Driving at medium speed. Albert seemed impatient to meet his rival. Sometimes there is a smile on the lips.

Arfa looked at her best friend from the front view mirror. He was also happy to see the smile that had been lost on the face of the friend has now returned.

He asked, "It seems like you're happy today? What's up?" he asked while glancing towards the rearview mirror.

"How could I not be happy to see Nayyara as if afraid of losing me" Albert replied with a smile continuing to expand on his lips. If someone else saw it, they might think it was crazy to keep smiling.

"really?" tanya Arfa confirmed, who was answered with a nod of the head by Albert.

"Good then. I'm glad to hear it. So I don't need to see you being a sadboy because of love."

"Damn you" said Albert, shaking his best friend's arm. " But this is all thanks to you. If you don't go in and explain to Nayyara, maybe she's still angry with me. Thank you so much for all your help to me. "

Arfa smiled faintly at the thanks from her best friend. "Don't thank me like that. None of this would have happened if you hadn't shown her the sincerity of love."

"Yes, good thing you reminded me!."

A few days ago after Arfa left Nayyara's room, he rushed to find Albert.

"Don't be discouraged, Al. I know that Nayyara has not been able to accept your declaration of love" he said when he managed to find his best friend.

Albert, who was contemplating alone on a hospital park bench, immediately turned his eyes when he heard the voice of his best friend.

"Where do you know that I just declared my love for Nayyara?."

Arfa smiled slightly at her best friend's question and threw her body beside him, saying, "what the hell don't I know about you?" with a funny face intended to entertain the heart of his best friend.

"I asked seriously, Fa. No kidding!" albert was a little upset.

"Who is kidding? I'm also being serious about you."

"All right, listen to me! Nayyara told me that herself. Seen a doubt from his tone."

"Then what do I have to do now?" ask Albert with a sad face.

"You are so stupid. For a long time I could be an expert on love because of the frequent carelessness of your sweetness," shebik Arfa was a little upset. "This is your love story. You alone must decide. If you're sure of your decision, then fight for it."

Albert was silent, trying to think about the words of his best friend. Then he did not say for long. "Apply Nayyara's divorce to the religious court now. I want them both to separate as soon as possible."

Arfa smiled happily at the determination her best friend had returned. "I'll take care of everything!."
