Miss Your Hugs

Chapter 57

During the day, Nisa had just finished praying. Sounding from his room, someone pressed the doorbell. It indicates someone is coming.

“Who's visiting?” Inner Nisa.

He rushed out of his room, heading downstairs.

At the door, Nisa did not open the door. He first peeked behind the curtains of his window.

“Uncle,” said Nisa was surprised by the arrival of uncle Ridwan, while she already knew if Bara was still working.

Nisa opened the door, with a smile on her face.

“Uncle,” call Nisa.

“Nisa,” says Uncle Ridwan.

“Please enter uncle.”

Uncle Ridwan unhesitatingly entered the house.

“Nisa. Sorry if uncle bothers you.”

“Yes uncle, not at all. But mas Bara is currently working,” said Nisa.

“Nisa. Uncle's coming here, don't want to meet Bara. But, want to meet you,” said Uncle Ridwan.

“With me?” sahut felt astonished.

“What's uncle? It looks serious once.”

Nisa feels something is wrong with Ridwan's uncle.

Uncle Ridwan, opened his bag full of money neatly arranged.

“This is for you,” said his uncle put the money on the table.

“Forku? I don't understand what uncle is talking about.”

“We go straight to the point only, it doesn't need a lot of stale bases!”

Makes Nisa even more curious.

“Leave Bara!” uncle said.

As soon as Nisa's heart stopped beating, the earth seemed to stop spinning hearing Ridwan's uncle's words.

“Uncle. Uncle's kidding right?” nisa said to make sure that what her uncle said was a joke.

“I'm not kidding Nisa!”

“Uncle, this is impossible!”

Tears that just escaped.

“Nisa. I'll guarantee you your living expenses, you don't have to worry about any of that. But please leave Bara,” he said pleading.

“Why is it like this uncle? Wasn't it before, uncle there was no problem with our relationship! But why is my uncle asking me to leave my husband? I can't uncle! Can't!” nisa shook her head.

“Do you want a child to be born without a father!? You are a woman!” snapped uncle.

For a moment, Nisa was silent. Still digesting what Uncle Ridwan said.

“What mak-sud uncle?” nisa is confused.

“I know you're not a stupid woman! You must understand what I said!”

“Nisa. Before marrying you, Bara had married Siri to her lover. Bara was forced to marry Siri, because it was not approved by his father Bara. At that time the uncle himself was a witness to their marriage. And at this time, his wife is pregnant big,” said Uncle Ridwan lying.

“Then why did you marry me to him? What is dad on purpose?” nisa could no longer hold back her tears.

“Previous, Bara introduced her lover to your father. However, your father-in-law disagreed and a few months later, your father-in-law asked Bara to marry you. But before that, Bara had married the series without the knowledge of your father-in-law.”

“Nisa, you as a woman! Can you let that child be born without a father?” added again.

Nisa fell silent, unable to say another word. Silence was mute in her seat, with tears flowing nonstop.

“Doctor's estimate, the baby will be born three weeks away.”

“Uncle please, you are considering uncle's offer. Don't be a selfish woman! what if that woman is in your position?” said uncle Ridwan.

“Uncle,” call Nisa.

Uncle Ridwan turned around, looking at Nisa who was looking at him seriously.

“Bring uncle money! I don't need that money!”

“What is this less? I will give you as you requested,” said Uncle Ridwan.

“I don't want a penny uncle's money! I just want to hear a confession from Bara's own mouth!” firmly Nisa.

“You don't be stupid!” exclaimed Uncle there was a little panic on his face, but he tried to hide it.

“Bara won't say that! It will even harm the fetus in the womb of his wife!” snapped uncle Ridwan.

“Why? I didn't touch that baby! I just want a confession from my own husband,” said Nisa did not want to lose.

“If you want Bara's confession, she definitely won't admit it. He will choose you! Stupid fool!” snapped uncle.

“You want proof? Wasn't it! Tomorrow come to the restaurant xx at 9.00 am, I will give the proof.”

Uncle Ridwan passed away, carrying a bag containing the money.

Nisa was sitting on the floor, as if her legs were no longer able to stand on foot, the world seemed to collapse.

He had not expected, his fate would suffer like this.

“Uncle must be lying right? It must be just a dream,” said Nisa.

Tok, tok, “Excuse me Bara sir,” call Zaky sir who directly entered.

“Iya sir,” sahut Bara.

“Already sir,” sahutnya short.

“Do you already know?” asked Mr. Zaky, making Bara frown in wonder with Mr. Zaky's question.

“Know what sir? Sumedang,” said Bara while chuckling.

“You are! Could have been making jokes,” said Mr. Zaky who also chuckled to hear Bara's joke.

“I just saw the news. Is your father's company on the verge of bankruptcy?” ask Mr. Zaky without further ado.

The hand that was busy pressing the Alphabet instantly stopped, hearing the question that Mr. Zaky was asking.

“I don't know sir,” says short then come back with his busyness.

“OK well,” said Mr. Zaky saw the face of Bara who was less friendly.

“Oh I almost forgot. We have an important meeting later in the afternoon, your working hours will increase. You don't have to worry, the company will pay you overtime, if you manage to get this contract.”

“I try sir,” said Bara saw Mr. Zaky.

“Good. I'm sorry,” said Zaky.

Seeing the departure of Mr. Zaky, Bara gave a rough breath.

“It turns out this news has spread,”.
