My husband never loved me
Meet with former in-laws
Three months have passed. Everything is going as it should. Bilqis has returned to Jogja, he has also been declared cured by doctors who handle it in Singapore. For about two months, he underwent a routine check-up. And the results stated that the cancer cells in his body stayed 3%, it was the same as he had fully recovered from the deadly disease.
He and Iqbal are getting married. Although he still had to control every month, did not discourage Bilqis to continue his delayed activities during his illness. He has returned with his studies again, although it must be limited by Iqbal.
While Hanif, the man was now closer to Veronika. Veronica was able to patch up the heartache hole Hanif felt after breaking up with Sisi. In various ways, Veronika did it to get the attention of Hanif. Even though it was all just camouflage. He didn't really love that guy. He just wants to live with Hanif. Plus, his mother has a lot of debt. It would easily drain Hanif's money. Although Hanif is not a rich man, but the man has several cafe assets managed by his father's confidant. His father bequeathed some valuable assets to him. And Veronika already knew that, from the first moment she met Hanif.
That afternoon, at work. Hanif is asked to pick up Veronika at the place she works. Hanif granted his request. They are not officially made, Hanif also has not expressed his love for the woman. But, she was so comfortable while being with Veronika. Perhaps for Hanif, the woman could comfort him when his heart was hurt by being betrayed by Sisi. And until now, Hanif did not know that Sisi did not get married to Iqbal. But Veronika knows. The woman accidentally doesn't tell Hanif, because she doesn't want Hanif to come back with Sisi. And his efforts approaching Hanif would be in vain.
By driving his car, he reached the prosperous hospital. The hospital, led by Faisal. After perfectly parked his car, the man got down and stepped into Veronika's room. The woman had not yet come out of her room. Hanif continued to walk through several rooms until he reached Veronica's room. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and was opened by the woman inside. Incidentally, her job was ready and she was already about to walk out of her room.
"Have you?" ask Hanif briefly. The woman smiled happily to see her lover coming to pick her up. And immediately wrestled spoiled in Hanif's hands.
"Here you go, let's go home!" answer the woman, and take her home.
They went hand in hand, Veronika did not let the slightest item slip from Hanif's arm. Until they meet with Faisal who happens to be out of the hospital.
"Doctor Hanif," he said kindly to his former employees. Hanif and Veronika stopped their steps. They looked mediocre, when they met Faisal. Even Veronika was not awkward to release her hand from Hanif's arm. As if to show Faisal, that he is the successor to his daughter.
"Doctor Faisal," Hanif replied with a faint smile at Faisal.
"Seneng can see you again, how are you?" ask Faisal.
"As you can see, I can still live without your daughter" he replied, smiling broadly at Faisal.
Faisal could only sigh, hearing Hanif's reply. The change in the man is so significant. A gentle, polite, and loving man. Now the man turned cold, arrogant, and a little devoid of good ethics. It's just because it's blinded by its own assumptions. Without hearing any explanation from others.
"You go first, Doc!" hanif exclaimed at Faisal who was still dumbfounded to see him. Faisal just shook his head.
"Lucky you baby, can get away with a guy like Hanif. Astaghfirullah," he murmured and then took a stand.
On the way to his house, Hanif was satisfied. Because he can show Faisal that he's okay after breaking up with his daughter. The man turned his lips, driving his car. Veronica who saw that, became curious.
"When what, dear? Smile for yourself?" tanyanya grabbed Hanif's arm.
"Oh, if I may know, what makes you happy?" Not giving up Veronika who wants to know, what makes Hanif happy.
"Here you go, don't talk about it anymore!" exclaimed Hanif, Veronika was a little disappointed.
"Oh, yes. When do you want to know me to your mother? I can't wait to know your mother!" veronika complained to Hanif.
"Yes, we go home now" Hanif said.
Veronica soared happily, she did not expect Hanif to respond to her words. The woman smiled with satisfaction, as little more would she be able to become Hanif's wife. "Are you serious, honey?" tanyanya pretended to be shocked. Answered a nod by Hanif. "Thank you, baby!"
Fifteen minutes later, they reached Hanif's house. His car stopped right in the courtyard of a white-fenced house. Seen there, Miss Tari who was reading a book on the terrace. That woman has been lonely lately. In addition to the cold attitude of his son, sometimes feel uncomfortable at home. But how else. He had already given up on the circumstances and chose to let everything happen like running water. He had given up on making Hanif believe Sisi was innocent. Let alone time make Hanif know the truth.
"Bun, know this Veronika!" said Hanif introduced Veronika to Bu Tari.
Bu Tari caught a glimpse of the woman who had already extended her hand to him. After that reply to Veronika's hand. But somehow his heart refused with the presence of the woman. Like something was in his heart. "Let's go in!" Then he invited them both to come inside.
After sitting in the living room. Hanif left her bundle with Veronika both. The man chose to clean himself first. Because soon adzan magrib reverberated.
"I think I've seen you before!" terka Bu Tari seemed to remember.
"Yes Bun, I've been here before. When Hanif's grandmother arrived, oh yes, when Sisi's doctor returned her engagement ring to Hanif," Veronika replied honestly. Ms. Tari remembered the figure she missed so much. If only, he was not ashamed of his son's attitude. It felt like he wanted to see Sisi, and apologize to the woman.
"Have you known Hanif?" asked Ms. Tari again, she seemed to be interrogating the woman.
"It's been almost a year, Bun!"
Shortly after, the phone from inside her bag Veronika rang. Either out of nervousness or did he drop his bag right in front of Hanif's bundle. Since the bag was open, it made all the contents inside the bag come out strewn on the floor. One of them is a picture of his real father. "Sorry, Bun!" veronika exclaimed as she cleaned up her falling belongings. As the phone kept ringing, Veronika hurriedly stuffed her belongings until leaving a photo of her father slightly under the sofa in the room, thus escaping her sight.
