Chapters 17. Erlan's disappearance
Melia was agitated as she watched Fahri step closer to her. Erlan was even stunned when she realized Fahri's presence.
"Erlan, don't just shut up. Get out of here, I don't want any more trouble!" banish Melia while shaking Erlan's body.
Erlan frowned. "So right my guess is, if you've started falling in love with my brother. Where's your promise, Lia! I regret apologizing to you, maybe my decision not to come to your family home at that time was right. May you be happy!"
"Erlan, my relationship with Mr. Fahri is not what you thought it would be." Melia blocked Erlan's steps that were already preparing to leave.
"Huh! Move, I'm gonna go through." Erlan turned rough and even pushed Melia to the side of the table.
*****
Finally, after Erlan's departure, now turns Fahri who steps closer to Melia. As usual, there was no smile of happiness on his face.
"Eating well, husband not invited. If there is no cooking at home nyariin husband," ketus Fahri while dropping his body in the soft chair opposite Melia.
Melia snorted in annoyance. "I'm not in the mood for a fight, sir. My intention is to eat here to avoid Mr. Fahri. I am tired of this pretend marriage. My girlfriend's upset, sir."
Fahri is shocked to see Melia has already flooded with tears. He who had scooped up the dishes on Melia's plate and wanted to taste it, immediately undo his intentions.
Fahri's eyes dimmed immediately. The sinister aura instantly faded from the look on his face. Slowly. He reached for his wife's leek-a-finger book. He held it tightly and placed it in front of his chest.
"So, you really still love your boyfriend?" Fahri stared fixedly at his wife who slowly began to lift her face.
Melia nodded in response. For some reason, the gesture of the answer actually makes Fahri feel pain in the heart. Bak was stabbed by a dagger, suddenly his chest felt tight.
"You really don't want our wedding?" Fahri asked back, either it was possible to just make sure that he would not make the wrong decision or either, no one knew what the question meant.
Again. Melia shook her head in response.
"Uh, yeah. So our marriage doesn't change anything." Fahri is heavy.
For a moment Fahri stared in annoyance at his wife. Then he realized his phone was ringing.
The look on his face was shocked when he received a phone call from someone. I don't know who, and what news that person shared. Fahri got out of his seat and away from Melia.
"Who? What what?" melia asked with an anxious face.
Fahri continued to step away without giving an answer. Even so, Melia chose to sit and wait.
Until time rolled so fast. And it was time for Fahri to come back to Melia after he went to talk to someone for a while.
"Melia, look ...." Fahri's sentence is paused. As if he was thinking carefully.
"What?" Melia's forehead wrinkled as if curious when asking.
"We go home now, your father fell ill again" said Fahri while stroking the back of his wife's palm, as if to give a calm effect.
"Then, come on!" melia was surprised and excited.
"I promise, after this will help you meet your boyfriend. And if you say he's angry, I'd give him an explanation if our marriage is just a game. And we have never really had a husband-and-wife relationship, don't worry" Fahri said as he stroked the top of Melia's head despite the fact that she looked sad.
Melia looked at her husband.
"Look, can I take an hour? I want to meet someone before I go home," Melia asked with a wailing look.
"May, I'll drive you" said Fahri, who responded quickly.
"Oh no need. But, sir, we need to eat too, right? Because Mr. Fahri today is being kind and different from usual, then I will accompany you until you finish eating" said Melia.
Fahri smiled a little. "Go, meet the person you want to meet, and the city rushes home. I'm worried about Mr. Haris."
"Well" said Melia to get out of her seat and leave.
*****
The girl is getting more agitated. But he kept trying to leave a message.
Melia saw the writing online, on the homepage of the message. He also knew that Erlan had actually read the message. Surprisingly, the young man still did not reply to his message.
Shortly thereafter, Melia is shocked to read the status created by Erlan on her social media homepage.
A message was written by the young man. "Good Lebi I stayed away and disappeared. If I'm present there's nothing more than a wound."
Just read it, Melia's heart is not careless. She even forgot about her relationship with Fahri, if she is currently the wife of her lover's sister.
"Sir, to the road Cendrawasih no 04, yes!" melia orders the online taxi driver.
The driver also responded, then the car sped at medium speed to the intended address.
However, Melia was getting more agitated. "Please go a little faster, sir. I have important business!"
"Yes, Non. I'm working on. But we also still have to be careful, so please be patient too" said the taxi driver while paying attention to the road he passed.
Melia finally chose to give up.
Fifteen minutes passed, and he finally arrived at his destination. There, he met his mother-in-law.
There was an awkward look created on Melia's face. Not without reason, she came alone without her husband. Of course he endured his overwhelming fear.
What's more, reportedly it was notoriously fierce Fahri in some people. Yep. Melia did listen to the news that was circulating about her husband's family.
"Excuse me, Erlan is?" melia asked with trembling legs, without further ado.
Fahri's mother's forehead looks wrinkled. For a moment, he was thinking hard.
"Erlan, this is Melia, right? Wife Fahri?" Fahri's mother asked, just to make sure.
"Yes, Aunt. But Erlan was also my friend," Melia replied that death restrained her fear.
"Erlan is gone. He was assigned to complete a new project. Maybe he won't be back anytime soon" Melia's mother-in-law said.
The woman who was ayu glared. His feet even felt weak.
"What's the matter, son? Let's go in first." Fahri's mother tried to hold her daughter-in-law's arm.
I don't know what Melia thought until she broke through to come to her husband's family home, to just look for Erlan. His girlfriend in the past.
"No, Aunt. Only Erlan ever borrowed my book. And not been returned. Can I ask for the address of the place where he will live?"
Fahri's mother shook her head quickly. "He said he didn't want anyone to know."
"When is he going, Auntie?"
"Just half an hour ago" said Fahri's mother.
Hearing that somewhat disappointing answer, Melia rushed to say goodbye under the pretext Fahri was waiting for her at home.
After getting out of the big house, Melia's legs ran into the street. He vented all his sorrow with tears.
In fact, along the way he did not stop checking the contents of his message. Niente. Not a single message entered his phone.
Melia was agitated all the way home.
'Erlan, where are you? Let's settle this unfinished relationship. Then, let's start the new sheet calmly.' Inner Melia was crying.
