My Bow to the Destiny of Love

Chasing him won't bring him back to you

Husein chuckled a few times laughing at his stupidity. Kate who sat with him could only swallow her saliva looking at the man. He looks like a fool to be deceived.

"You still want to be here? It's nine o'clock in the evening, sir. What if your wife is looking for your whereabouts."

"I'm still at home here. I just want to find out the woman I've been married to all this time."

"Better you don't know, sir."

"I want to know everything. Last morning, I knew a lot about him from Alesha and Tina. One more, from her graceful friend who wears the veil. It was so soothing to look at that woman." Husein smiled at Chayra's face.

"I don't have a story about his wife Mr. Husein." Kate tried to evade.

"Don't call me Father. I'm only a year or two apart from you. Just call Husein it sounds more casual and informal."

"But..."

"It's okay, I just need a story from you. I'll give you some money if you want to tell me what that woman's been up to all this time."

"I. I don't know much about him, sir. uh." Kate shut her mouth. It turned out that his tongue was still stiff to talk casually with Husein.

"Lho needs money, right?" Finally, Husein tried to talk more casually. Fishing with money might get the man to open his mouth.

Kate smiled cynically. "Who doesn't need money. You are also looking for money because you need it, right? Don't waste your money trying to find out about Amira. He is already yours. You should be able to educate him and get him to step forward."

"But the problem is. hmmm.." Hussein breathed a rough breath. Kate was not that easy to lure. "I need hard evidence to tie him up again. He's too free right now and I don't know how to prevent it. I'm afraid to make her cry."

"Huh," Kate almost laughed at Husein's confession. "Why should I be afraid to make her cry? If that's the case, it's appropriate that Amira doesn't respect you as her husband." Kate finally opens up a little about Amira to Husein. It turned out that the man heard her carefully until she leaned closer to Kate.

"Now you should go home and rest. Do as I said. Good luck.." Kate thrust her hand to shake hands with Husein who was immediately greeted warmly by the man.

Until home, the time has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. Seeing Amira still sitting in the living room, Husien finally said hello.

"Assalamualaikum." he said without looking at Amira. He immediately walked to the guest room he had been sleeping in the last two nights.

"You're from anywhere, Mom. It's eleven o'clock in the evening and you just got back." Amira immediately asked her husband questions while following Husein's steps from behind.

Husein snorted, stopping his steps without turning around. "Greetings first. You are a habit of never answering greetings. You know, answering greetings is mandatory law."

Amira rolled her eyes irritated. "Don't like to switch the conversation. I asked Mas Husein from where, why even lecture me?"

Husein turned around while smiling bitterly. "I say a greeting in order to get the answer from you. That's mandatory law. If you're just shirking the obligatory, am I obligated to answer your question that I want to answer or not." Husein continued his steps back.

Amira clucked as she followed Husein back. Holding the door that was almost closed by Hussein.

"Whether you follow me in here. I'm gonna take a break, tired." Husein opened his shoes and threw them into the corner of the room.

"Where's Mas Husein from?!"

Husein stared intently at his wife. He finally got up as he walked closer to Amira. "I want to go anywhere it's none of your business. I walk on my feet, not your feet. I'm going to take a picture, it's my money, not yours."

Amira glared at her husband's answer. "I'm getting here more and more confused, with Mas Husein's attitude."

Hussein smiled cynically. "Did I not hear wrong? The one who should be confused is me, Amira. I am married to a woman who has a different person at all times. I'm married to a planless woman, I'm married to a woman who failed to move on."

Amira melengos's. "Who can easily forget the past, let alone the past with the people I love so much."

Hussein's turn is perplexed. He shook his wife's head hard. That made Amira take a few steps back. "Based on stupid women. Chasing him won't get him back at you. He was in love with his wife. It is true what he said yesterday. He's not a madman who's going to trade an angel of heaven for a river stone like you." Husein laid his body on the bed. "For him, you are like a cheap woman chasing after him." Hussein is back up. "Don't expect too much because it could be that hope will make you sicker."

"Sokay know." Amira answered with annoyance. Why did his chest feel pained when he heard himself called the river stone.

"Don't keep me waiting too long because it could be that today is the limit of my patience to follow all your games. Come out, I'm gonna take a break. Don't bother me anymore."

Husien just glanced. I heard a deep breath from him. He remembered Kate's words. Must be brave firmly so as not to be constantly used. "I didn't say that, but Ardian." Ucaonay with a heavy voice. Including the name of the man in the debate might open the eyes of his wife. "That word has a point. His wife is beautiful and Sholehah. Istiqomah again, I think he would really be a madman if he traded it for a bar-bar woman like you."

"Mas.." Amira's tears immediately spilled.

Hussein took a deep breath again. "If I were Ardian, I wouldn't do that either. God has given me a wonderful wife. And I have to be grateful for that. And if I were you, I wouldn't spend time pursuing what wasn't rightfully mine. Why am I trying to achieve what I cannot. I wouldn't be that stupid, spending a lot of money just looking around for other people's mistakes. Maybe if I were you, I'd try to improve my morals. To have my friends see me back and forgive all my mistakes."

Amira stomped her feet while wiping away the tears that continued to flow. Running out of the room and slamming the door violently. He thought Husein would melt when he saw her tears. It turned out that the estimate was wrong and missed far.

"Eh, why are there so many gini?" Tina counted the passengers

the minibus belonged to Santi they were riding.

"You go to the Obstetrician like people want to go demo. Gkgkgk.." Tina giggled while continuing to count.

"We're going to the Mall, son. The smiling Timpal Renata himself heard Tina's words. "Say she wants to go shopping for her baby Adek."

"Hehehe. yes, Mi. But I find it funny.."

"Whispering, here Chay. Don't get too close to Tina. You'll catch a somplak like him."

"Ew. That's very much the same Bini. I'm gini-gini but it's useful a lot for Ayra." Tina glared while leaning her body.

The rest of the journey was filled with silence. Only occasionally was Ardian's voice reprimanding his wife who did not change his sitting position.

Arriving at the Clinic, the Chayra horde that came out of the minibus attracted the attention of many people.

Ardian immediately approached Dodit who was seen waiting for him in the corner of the waiting room. "Have you been called, Dit?"

Dodit glanced towards the entrance. Looking at Mr. Sucipto and Ms. Renata, he looked down with a smile. "No, Sir. Just wait for another one. Out of the inside, another one we just called."

Ardian frowned hearing Dodit speak formally in a public place. Oh, it turns out there was one of the Commissioner who participated, pantesan.. Ardian finally just nodded.

"Please, sit here, sir. I'll find another seat."

"No need, Dit. You can go home now. Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, sir. That's my duty." Dodit slightly bent his body as it passed from before Ardian. After passing by Mr. Sucipto he was seen listening to the old man's words with respect.

Ardian smiled at the sight. What a beautiful sight in the eyes. He's the only one Mr. Sucipto's son has never spoken so politely to his parents.

His daydream was scant when he heard the name of the next patient called. That means after this it's his wife's turn. He pulled Chayra's hand to sit on a closer spot. Alesha and Tina came closer.

"Why are the two of you coming here?" Ardian shifted his body seeing Alesha and Tina sitting crowded.

"You're gonna check on the baby's sister. I want to do it anyway, like there is no work."

"You will not be allowed in. Only the husband can accompany his wife into the room. Only two people can enter."

"There are many reasons. Yesterday also Mother who accompanied Ayra if you are busy working."

"You can ask the nurse if you don't believe me." Ardian pointed towards the nurse who was standing holding the door handle.

Alesha and Tina looked at each other. They hinted at each other to ask.
