"This face is exactly the same as the man in the photo. Big photo in the living room of Shofi's house! But ... What does he have to do with this woman in a wheelchair?" raihan monologue.

💔Flashback On

Late in the afternoon, Shofi ramps his Mazdanya up to the house. He soon grabbed the phone in his bag and contacted someone.

📞Assalamu'alaikum, Mass ....

📲Wa'alaikumsalam, tumben you called me, Shof?

📞Mas, I gave someone your number!

📲Who and for what?

📞A friend, he was injured by an accident and paralyzed. I heard that back in America you gave therapy to a similar disorder and it worked.

📲It was Shof, before the accident hit me.

📞Please Mas! I feel sorry, life has been unfair to him.

📲My hands can't provide therapy like they used to.

📞But the science in your brain is not lost, is it? Use Karin to help you!

📲The nurse?

📞Yups.

📲I have to see the condition first.

📞OK, the most important thing is that you want to help him.

📲Oh yes .... How are you, Shof? Is your husband looking after you?

📞You don't have to worry about me, Mas. He's the man in charge.

📲Good. Take good care of yourself.

📞Thank you. Assalamu'alaikum ...

📲Wa'alaikumsalam.

"Dok ... Doctor ...." A call blurs the reverie of Raihan.

"Oh yes, ma-af .. please sit down!" lontar Raihan's.

"Have the doctors come so long? Sorry to keep the doctor waiting" Fura said.

"I just arrived."

"Include me Fura and this is my husband-----

"Shafiq ...," interrupted Syafiq instantly. Raihan looked at Syafiq carefully and thought. "They're husband and wife apparently, but why does this face look like Shofi's husband?" inner Raihan.

"I'm sorry I stayed a while!" Raihan who felt confident with what he saw, felt the need to make sure of something. He stood away from the bodies of Shafiq and Fura. He presses a button in his smart partner. Ask someone's contact from the assistant. Until a few days later ....

📞Halo Karin?

📲I-ya. This who?

📞Raihan.

📲Pak Director?

📞Iya. I need your help!

📲Sa-ya help?

📞Stop asking back! Now answer! What's Doctor Shofi's husband's name?

📲Mbak Doctor? For what, Sir?

📲I-tu ....

📞Who?

📲Syafiq uh, mas Syafiq, sir.

Raihan closed the call. He throttled, pulled one side of his lip up, not liking and not expecting what he heard.

"It turns out the man i-tu! Hahh .. insolent! He just considers Shofi a toy as it turns out! And now Shofi is pregnant! Although I also hurt Shofi .. but all because I was framed by that woman. Damnit damnit! This is not fair to Shofi. But Shofi gave my number to that woman named Fura? Then Shofi knows Fura. How did all this happen? What's the matter?"

Raihan who felt that he had left Syafiq and Fura long enough, headed back to his bench. He caught the eye of Fura's hope.

"This woman ... Why do I feel sorry to see her eyes? Did she know her husband had another woman? Knowing the truth of the man named Syafiq .. I feel very reluctant to help this woman. Liar man!"

"Dok .. So how? You willing not to help my wife?" syafiq swept Fura's shoulder. Raihan shook his eyes at the netra Syafiq.

"It seems like this man loved his wife so much, but why did he cheat on her? What attention is paid to his wife?" Raihan monologue is back.

"Hmm .. Look, it seems like the person who recommended you is wrong. I used to do therapy, but a year ago I was injured. So I don't give therapy anymore, sorry I can't help. You can find another neurologist!" lugas Raihan's. His determination was unanimous not to help Fura or anyone related to Shafiq.

"But Doc! Help me, Doc!" Fura. Shafiq who saw the flat hue of Raihan as if underestimating to be furious, he did not like Fura to cribe to strangers.

"Juriyy already, let's go home! This doctor has no intention of helping you!" Shafiq pushed Fura's wheelchair away from the restaurant. Raihan.

In the car Fura contacted Shofi. "Assalamu'alaikum ... Ma'am," said Fura.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, yes Fura. Can I help you?"

"Mr Friend is not willing to help me. His hand was injured he said!"

"really? I will contact Fura again. Assalamu'alaikum." Without hearing Fura's reply, Shofi disconnected his call and called someone.

Shofi, who was in a hurry, did not realize there was a message coming into his phone. He immediately sought Raihan's contact and called him.

📞Assalamu'alaikum's chat.

**📲**Wa'alaikumsalam. You're Shof?

📞Mass ... You refuse to help my friend? Where's your social soul, Mas?"

📲You haven't opened the message I sent apparently!

📞Message?

📲Open! You'll know why I refused.

Shofi immediately closed his call and opened the green circle-shaped application. His chest instantly tightened. A picture of his beloved man sitting with a woman in a wheelchair.

Yes, just after getting information from Karin, Raihan photographed Syafiq and Fura in the distance. Don't want to assume a message was sent by Shofi to Raihan's number.

📨What do you mean by the photo you sent, Mas?

📩Why are you confused? Isn't that your friend?

📨Yes but the man next to her ....

📩He took her husband to see me.

Shofi's phone landed on the carpet. "Mas Shafiq .. su-a-mi Mba-k Fu-ra? Then I'm ...?"

A chest that a moment ago tightness appeared as if closing the cavity of his lungs. His brain was screwed, his body docked against the wall and pressed against the floor. His eyes were instantly filled with circles that were scrambling to get out of his contest.

Various strange things in his relationship with Syafiq circled his brain .. about him who always held back to just look at his identity card, he who always came home late, he always came home late, he who never introduced his family and friends, also he who now always postponed their legal marriage. Shofi felt very stupid, love had blinded him.

Shofi recalled every Fura story that day, the story of her husband remarrying. Shofi who at that time fooled Fura's behavior, but in fact he was the most stupid. Love made her easily lied to by her husband. Something that he felt was unfair to Fura, but he turned out to be the cause of the injustice. All because Syafiq spent more time with him.

Shofi. As the tightness he felt grew more painful, severe nausea filled his oral cavity. He ran to the bathroom, yellow and bitter liquid started to come out. Many times he pressed his stomach .. his brain rejected the presence of a growing fetus there. Until his body immediately suffocated and he fell down ....
