"Sometimes we have to let go of things not because we give up, but understand that there are some things that cannot be forced."
***
Nindy ran, through the corridors and the long hallway of the hospital. Her tears did not stop washing her cheeks. He wiped the tears violently. His feet only knew how to move quickly, but were confused where to end up.
He's been trying. He gave me a chance. However, if that was indeed what Yang Pou Han wanted, what would he have to do?
Nindy could not imagine having to share a husband with Emelie - the woman who managed to win the heart of Yang Pou Han-. Or perhaps, the man who was too infatuated with Emelie, to whatever Nindy did, as hard as Nindy's efforts to win her heart, he said, it would not be able to replace the name Emelie in Yang Pou Han's heart.
The net felt foggy, so unable to stay focused. Until when a body accidentally blocks its way, Nindy's forehead hits someone's chest.
"Sorry, Sir. I was not intentional."
He looked down, not wanting his tears to be seen by others. Until a hand touched his shoulder, Nindy looked up for a moment.
"Nindy! You why? What's going on?"
Nindy let go of the hand that was still on her shoulder, apologizing again. "Sorry, Zang Nan. I'm going to go." That man was Zang Nan. Why do they always meet at unexpected times.
"You're not okay. I'd better take you."
Nindy shook her head, as the clear hair seeped back into her eyes. "I'm going to take a taxi. Thank you for your help."
The man blocked Nindy's path with his body, not following the woman's request to go home alone.
"Zang Nan, I'm leaving. Move over!" Nindy finds a way, but the man again blocks her, making Nindy even more upset.
Until a voice startled him, it made Nindy and Zang Nan startled instantly.
"Get out of there. Don't come near my wife!"
It appeared that Yang Pou Han came hurriedly stepping over, approaching towards Nindy as well as Zang Nan. His face was furious at the man who had dared to approach Nindy.
"Where are you going?" The man dragged Nindy's hand away from Zang Nan.
Nindy tried to throw a check on her arm, but the grip felt stronger. "Let go, Yang! I'm going home." Nindy yelling.
"With him? You want to cheat?"
"You're the one who cheated. I hate you." Nindy pushed on the man's chest with her hands free, but her strength was too weak to do so. He was upset, angry, mixed with disappointment because of Yang Pou Han's attitude towards him.
"I'm not cheating on you."
"You ignored me, but hugged him. Then you calmly accepted the wedding. I'm disappointed in you, Yang. I hate you."
He cried, wanting to leave in front of the man immediately. However, the hand that was still blocked by Yang Pou Han made him unable to go anywhere.
The man hugged Nindy's body which was shaking from crying, but Nindy rebelled. He did not want to be withered because of the man's sweet attitude towards him. He needs reassurance, not just half-effort.
"Don't touch me! I don't want to be hugged by a man who hugs another woman. Just go back to him! Don't give me any more hope."
Just when Nindy finished saying that, Emelie yelled out to Yang Pou Han. That voice had managed to get everyone's attention distracted.
"Yes ...! Grandma Bay .. died."
***
The groaning of the human child of grief is heard echoing, when accompanying the beloved family to the last resting place. The heartbreaking sound was heard from the lips of one person, Emelie.
The woman wept bitterly, as if shedding all regrets about herself that could never make loved ones happy.
Nindy could see that. The woman is alone, no relatives or relatives are owned. Not much different from Nindy, they are both kara.
Nindy could only stare bitterly as the woman spilled sorrow onto her husband. Yes, Nindy couldn't do much, because only Yang Pou Han was the only person closest to Emelie. Yang Pou Han stood next to Emelie, positioning himself as a crutch as he clasped the hand of the woman who had now buried a cry in her chest.
However, Nindy could not deny the pain in the recesses of her heart, when she realized that she had turned into a fragile figure who needed mercy, nindy is seen as an evil human who is antipathy towards Emelie.
How could she separate Emelie from her husband?
Would Nindy be too outrageous to forbid Yang Pou Han to be indifferent to Emelie, even though she was being bullied?
"I'm waiting at home. I hope you can get home soon." Nindy glanced briefly at the shameless Emelie still hugging her husband. "I'm home first." He stretched out his hand, grabbing Yang Pou Han's hand to put on his forehead. "Assalamualaikum," said Nindy greeting.
Without waiting for a greeting answer from the man, Nindy immediately stepped away by taking wide strides as well quickly.
He didn't look back, let what was going on there without needing to know. Enough of that soul-stifling sight alone. Nindy couldn't see the others anymore.
Expecting pursuit? Sure oes. Nindy wishes the man a chase, holding back his departure. However, it seems to exist only in his imagination. Nindy didn't see anyone chasing her, except ... Zang Nan's.
"Where are you going?"
The man was seen running, approaching Nindy who had been near the seat on the funeral court. Nindy landed her ass on the iron seat, while resting her body for a while.
Zang Nan sat down next to Nindy, watching the tired and desperate look on her face.
"What's going on?" A little twisting the body facing Nindy, the man put on a serious face. "Did Master hurt you?" She clucked, rubbing her hair rough. "I've guessed if this will happen," he added later.
Nindy looked towards the man. Looking at the question mark of the words that Zang Nan had just uttered. "What do you mean?"
"I knew Mr. Yang long ago, before 'The Miracle Ocean Garden' stood up. He has many mistresses. There have been many women he has hurt, including the woman who insulted you at that time, Danisha."
"Danisha?" Nindy parroted, mimicking the name that Zang Nan had just called.
"Yes, she was one of Mr. Yang's favorite women, before being knocked out by a woman named ... Salwa's."
Deg.
"W-what? You didn't say anyone's name wrong, did you?"
The man shook his head. He said with certainty. "He's obsessed with that woman, who looks just like you. Maybe, because of that he chose you to be his wife. Did he ever express love to you?"
Nindy simply fell silent, not responding to Zang Nan's question. His heart had been torn apart hearing one by one the truth about Yang Pou Han, which even he as his wife knew nothing about.
"Enoughly interesting. You can be friends with a woman like her. You should have learned so much from her, how to be a woman of strong attraction, not just ask her for mercy so she can help you."
Yang Pou Han said at that time, when they first talked about Salwa. Nindy should have understood, if the compliment was thrown from the heart. He's nothing compared to that woman. The woman who has now been paired with Mr. Paderson, who turned out to first attract the attention of Yang Pou Han. Yeah, he can't compete with Salwa, never can.
Nindy's mood was excruciating, at a time when her confidence was declining after knowing the truth. Not only was Emelie in Yang Pou Han's heart, but there was another female name who had a kind personality with a gentle heart, Salwa. Why should Salwa?
Until a voice shouted at him, Nindy straightened up the body instantly. "What are you doing here with him?" The man's face looked furious, staring intently at Nindy as well as Zang Nan.
Nindy advanced a step, slightly approaching towards the man, Yang Pou Han. "Is your business done? Are you going home with me?" nindy asked, ignoring Yang Pou Han's previous question.
"Not yet, I'll take Emelie to her house. You should come too!"
Nindy laughed foolishly, biting her lower lip with one eye closed. "You want me to come?" The cynical smile she showed, "to see the affection of the two of you? Do you want me to be a portraitist to capture your intimate moments? Thank you, .. I'm not interested, Yang. I'm home." Nindy turned around after saying that, but quickly Yang Pou Han held back his arm.
"Come home! You can't go anywhere!"
"No! You can't force me. I'm going home now. Zang Nan, you want to take me, right?" nindy said with a gaze towards Zang Nan, ignoring the pain in the wrist from Yang Pou Han's hand grip.
The man nodded happily. However, it was different from Yang Pou Han. He looked so cold and sinister, staring intently at Zang Nan, as if he wanted to swallow the man alive.
"I warned you not to see him. Why are you still meeting him? You're a married woman. Aren't you ashamed to do such a lowly thing with your current status?"
"So, of course I'm embarrassed. I can't take good care of myself. I am a lowly. Are you satisfied?" Nindy seemed to be challenging when she said that. His heart was quite hot hearing Yang Pou Han's words that lowered his attitude.
The one who looked even more furious, saw how Nindy was fighting him in front of others. "You want to fight the husband? Why don't you be like Salwa, she never goes against what her husband says?"
"Yes, because I'm not Salwa, Yang. I'm Nindy." His eyes were heating up, unable to resist the crying. "I understand now. You married me out of curiosity with a woman who looked like me, right? Just like Emelie said. You liked Salwa, but she chose Mr. Paderson over you. So you treat your curiosity by marrying me." He paused his sentence, took a breath for a while then exhaled slowly. "Yes, it's lucky that Salwa didn't pick you. Because he will always feel the pain of what you have done to me. You said you loved me and would never do anything that could hurt me. So, what are you doing now?"
Nindy smacked the man's chest with her hands free, venting out the emotions that poked inside the chest. "Yes, I'm a stupid woman. You often say that to me. I was a fool for believing in you. I was stupid to wait for you, and I was stupid to love you."
He threw down Yang Pou Han's hand checks with all his might until he missed, "Just accompany him all you want. I'm not banning you. I'm waiting for you at home. I hope you still have a heart for not coming home late."
