The atmosphere that afternoon was quite rame at the residence of Faisal, the twins who had just returned from campus, headed straight to the living room. It just so happened that her parents were talking there. "Assalamualaikum Father, Mother!" greet them both.
"Waalaikumussalam," replied the two simultaneously. Fatan immediately struggled in the hands of his mother, choosing to sit beside Yulia. While Fatin, the man went straight to his room with a sultry excuse, wanting to take a bath.
"Well, did Doctor Hanif come here earlier?" ask Fatan to Faisal. The question of his son made Faisal a little surprised.
"No, why Tan?" faisal replied, asking again. Fatan thought a little, after which he shook his head.
"So Fatan saw Doctor Hanif's car just come out of the fence of our house. Yes, he didn't come here?" tanya Fatan convinced Faisal.
Yulia who heard Fatan's car was around her house. He remembered the white MPV car that stopped in front of the fence of his house this afternoon. "Is the car white, baby?"
"Yes, honey. Was Hanif here?"
"No, but the car stopped in front of our fence, Mas. Earlier, when Yulia delivered food to the post security guard, ahead. Yulia did see that car stop there!" They were silent, busy with their own thoughts.
"Is it possible that doctor Hanif would come here, but he is ashamed or afraid" Fatan said.
"Why should I be ashamed?" ask Yulia plain. He thought, Hanif already knows everything, and chose not to return with Sisi.
"Mother, right doctor Hanif thought Sisi was married to Brother Iqbal. Now that he knew the truth, he kept coming here and apologizing with Sisi's brother," Fatan explained, Faisal's tail glanced at his son.
"Honey, we don't have to think no. Maybe he has business with someone. Don't talk about it anymore!" lerai Faisal who deliberately did not tell about his meeting with Hanif some time ago. And he thought the same as what Fatan thought.
Almost three hours Hanif's car was parked in front of the fence of Faisal's house, now he drove his car to somewhere. The man had not dared to meet Sisi and his family. Therefore, Hanif just observed from inside his car Faisal's house. He also did not know that Sisi is now no longer living in Indonesia and has been discharged from the Sejahtera hospital. He still thinks everything is the same. The car continued until it stopped in front of his house. Hanif parked his car in the garage. Then he got out of his car and went into the house.
"Nif, how did you come home, baby?" tanya Bu Dari to Hanif who looks tangled. Several times, she got a call from Veronika because Hanif's number was off at the time.
Hanif stared at the nanar of his round face, after which he bumped into his round, hugging him very tightly. "Dumb Hanif Bun, stupid!!!!" his bow in his mother's arms. "Hanif has hurt Sisi, Bun. Stupid Hanif," his cry broke, his chest tight.
Bu Tari knew at this time, what his son was going through. "Do you know everything?" ask Bu Tari. Hanif was speechless, and still tightly hugged his mother's body. After that, "it's Nif, it's all happened. You can't regret it right now," continued Bu Tari, further destroying Hanif.
After releasing his embrace from his mother's body. Hanif, sitting limp on the sofa in the middle room. He stared blankly at the aluminum ornamental fish. The man constantly condemned his stupidity, and regretted his actions. But he wasn't brave enough to say that in front of Sisi or his family.
"Keep, what are you going to do now?" tanya Bu Tari broke the silence. Hanif turned his head towards his mother, he shook his head slowly.
"Hanif doesn't know Bun!"
Until the ringing of Ms. Tari's phone rang again. And guess who is contacting him right now. "Veronica." Hearing the name, Hanif ruffled his hair. Right now he is in a difficult choice. "Bless, first!" Bu Tari gave Hanif his cell phone, but was immediately rejected by the man.
"Nif, until when will you avoid Veronika. You should talk to him. Moreover, tonight is the engagement night of the two of you."
"Hanif can't Bun, can't continue Hanif's engagement with Veronika!" exclaim Hanif with a heavy tone. "Hanif doesn't love her" he continued.
"If you don't love her, why do you give her hope. And now, when you want to commit to him. You said you didn't love. You're evil, Nif!" said Bu dance with a slightly elevated tone.
"Bun, but Hanif doesn't love. Hanif only loves Sisi. Please, Bun... Understand Hanif's current state!" Ms. Tari shook her head.
"You're selfish Nif, you're only concerned about your feelings. But do you know how Veronika feels, until you cancel this engagement. You've hurt two women at once." The words of Bu Tari bak slapped Hanif's face.
True what Miss Tari said, she was indeed selfish thinking only of herself. Now he's hurt, having learned the truth. Then, where he was when Sisi begged to give him time so he could explain everything. And now that he had given Veronika hope, she would repeat her selfishness again. Under the pretext, not loving the woman.
"Mother just wants the best for you. Maybe now you don't love Veronika. But, if she's a good woman, you're sure you'll love her, gradually!"
In a house that has been decorated with white flowers, and a small stage, the top of which has been decorated very beautifully. Two chairs as the throne of a couple who will sit there.
"Ve, how? Hanif can't be contacted yet?" ask Ms. Sandra, to Veronika.
"No, Ma! Where is it, her? Since the mall, I could not be contacted. The mother, too, did not know where she was going" said Veronica, who was already visibly agitated.
"Keep how this is, Ve. It's almost night, you know! If Hanif doesn't come, what?" Ms. Sandra just made Veronika feel panicked.
"Ve, try calling again, deh Ma!" Veronica again took her phone to contact Hanif again. But the answer is still the same. Out of range. "Hufftt, where the hell are you!!!" he cursed with annoyance.
One by one, the guests began to arrive. Veronika has also appeared beautiful with a peach-colored dress, with a little ornament around her chest. Her hair was let loose. Make the beauty of the woman radiate. All eyes looked in admiration, with the woman.
One by one the invited guests congratulated Veronika. They also asked Hanif, who had not been next to Veronika, making the woman a little embarrassed because of Hanif's delay. Until he had to lie a little to his guests, so they did not ask much.
"Where's Doctor Hanif, Doc? How come you haven't come till now?" ask one of the nurses invited to the party.
"Ehmmm maybe ma..." Veronika's speech came to a halt as her eyeballs caught a man in a light green shirt suit, and wrapped in a white suit, walking towards her.
