LOVE IN THE SHADOW

CHAPTRE 22

...***...

His mood at the time was very agitated, as the clock had shown at 22:30 p.m. She prepared everything she wanted to give her husband. But the person who was waiting for has not come?. Many times he tried to contact the person he was waiting for, the number was not also active. Anyone would be agitated if they didn't pick up the phone.

"Actually where are you?. Why haven't you come home yet?. What's really going on in your office?. So I can't figure it out?." In her heart she wondered what was wrong with her husband. "I just wanted to surprise you." In his heart was deeply saddened by what he had received at that moment.

Meanwhile, Ravenska is still with her boyfriend. That night he really enjoyed his time with Salsa.

"There is no end to the happiness I feel when I am with you." With a big smile, he said that.

"Don't always flail to me. I'm afraid I'm gonna melt to death because of that romantic remark of yours."

"This is a saying that just came out of my heart. I couldn't keep this feeling down for too long, so I said whatever was in my heart right now."

At that time they were like very happy lovers in this world. Not only through words, but at that time they seemed to be drunk with romance that could not be reached by anyone.

But at that time there was a short message notification that went to HP Ravenska.

The deg!.

I don't know why at the time she felt so uncomfortable at all. With a nervous feeling he tried to open the notification coming from his mother.

"Happy birthday, my son. May you be healthy always, and may you be happy with your daughter, raya."

In his heart read the message. And what was more thrilling after that was?. Suddenly, her mother contacted her via a video call. Of course he was very panicked by what his mother did at that time.

"I'll pick up first, okay?." With a very fearful feeling he went to step into the bathroom.

"Well?. Who the hell?. It's not usually that he's hiding calling someone." In his heart Salsa began to wonder with your attitude that his lover had shown.

Meanwhile Ravenska tries to pick up the call. With a very fearful feeling he tried to lift the call from his mother. It was a call as if it were called by an angel of death who would never return.

"Yes ma?."

"Happy birthday, son?."

"Thank you mama."

"Where are you?. You're not the same?."

The voice does sound soft but the answer will be deadly if the wrong in speaking.

"Loh?. Are you not at home?. Will the fairies know if you're birthday today?." Suddenly his mother's voice sounded different from the previous one. Surely that makes him even more frightened.

"You know, ma. But I'm outside right now, because all of a sudden, my friends just invited me out to celebrate my birthday." His heart was beating so fast as if he was being struck by a very overwhelming fear.

"Then you go home. If your wife finds out you're having a birthday?. He must be preparing something of a surprise for you right now. So you're coming home soon because it's night, mama won't spare you if you leave her alone at home for too long." The voice was filled with a threat that made Ravenska's heart even more about to jump from its place.

"Okay, I'll be home soon." With a heavy heart he obeyed what his mother had said at that time.

"Yes already. When you return home, don't forget to tell me."

"Yes ma."

"Be careful on the road?. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

After that his call just ended, so did the feeling of Ravenska who seemed to have ended at that very moment. His heart was still racing very fast, as if at that moment he was meeting a death angel.

"Must go home tonight huh?." His mood suddenly confused, it feels he can no longer afford to continue his life if it continues like that. "What should I say to salsa?. If I have to go home tonight?." In his heart was weighing what reason would he tell Salsa about his return that night?.

"Dear?."

From the outside, there was a knock on the door, surprised by what he heard. Slowly he opened the bathroom door.

"What's up, honey?. Who contacted you?." He carefully asked Ravenska who looked very pale.

"Something happened in the office. I have to go back tonight." With a heavy heart he said so.

"Home?. You're going home tonight?. Can't it be tomorrow?." There was a heavy feeling of heart that he showed at that moment.

"I'm sorry, this is so important. I can't just leave the office. That's why I have to go tonight. I hope you understand the situation." He hugged Salsa's body. To this day, he has not been honest with what has happened to him. "I just don't want to lose you. That's all I can do to be with you forever." In his heart he just said that.

"But I hope you come back soon. I actually couldn't afford to part with you for too long." Salsa is certainly in a very long phase to her husband. Moreover, being pregnant makes her even less want to separate from Ravenska.

"I promise I'll be back in no time." That was all he could say at the time.

After that he was forced to leave the house of Salsa with a heavy heart. His heart at that moment was completely cursed with what his mother had said. "Why am I so obedient to my mom?. Why is it that my guts are so sudden when dealing with my mama?." In his heart at that moment was extremely confused after dying. "If you don't listen to your mother's words, then I won't be back tonight." In his heart he still paid respect to his mother. Although in fact he was very unacceptable with his painful condition.
