Regrets After the Farewell

Chapters 16.

After Mika calmed down and stopped crying, Alex let go of her embrace and gently wiped the woman's cheeks. "Here you go, it's all happening" Alex said, helping Mika stand up and bringing her down.

Mika who feels guilty can only be silent while following Alex's steps. The two returned to the apartment unit owned by the man.

Arriving inside, Alex takes Mika to the room. She was forced to let Mika rest until her mind regained its composure. "Sleep, I'll wait outside!" alex said after helping Mika lay on the bed.

Just as Alex was about to step away, Mika held her hand and pulled her to get closer. ”Don't go!" with dry eyes after crying.

Alex seems awkward to be in the same room with the woman, she is afraid she can not control herself like that night. He didn't want to make the same mistake a second time. "It's okay, just sleep!" he said while wiping Mika's hair.

"Don't go, I don't want to be alone!" pinta Mika with water face.

"I'm not leaving, I'm just going to sit outside" explains Alex, who is losing her mind. It was hard for him to resist Mika's wishes at times like this.

Honestly, Alex still can't forget Mika completely. However he was the first man to touch the woman for the first time, it was not easy for her to forget the beautiful memories that had been created between them. Mika is her first love.

If Alex can ask, she'd love Mika to open her heart to him. She did not even care if Mika had done the same relationship with Salman, for her Mika was still the first woman who was able to melt her heart, even destroying it so easily.

"I hurt Alex, my heart broke from Salman's betrayal. I'm disappointed, why would she hurt my feelings so much?" lirih Mika who returned shed tears.

Alex who heard that immediately smiled bitterly. "It's not just you who's hurt, we all feel the same way. You, me, Salman, even Safia were hurt. There's nothing happy between these relationships" Alex says.

Hearing Safia's name mentioned, Mika swept her face quickly and pegged Alex intensely. "You know Safia?" Mika knitted her eyebrows to find out the truth.

"Yes, we're both colleagues of the same profession." nodded Alex agreed.

"Is Safia a doctor?" ask Mika again.

"Hmm.." muttered Alex who again nodded his head.

"But while in the house" Mika was silent for a while. She did not know Safia before, but she found out about the woman from the marriage book she found and the small photo that was displayed inside.

Mika remembers very well that the woman was a servant she had seen at Salman's house. The man even placed her in the servant's room.

"I think he's just a waiter" Mika added.

"Servant?" Alex is shocked to hear Mika. His eyes were rounded with jaws growling in annoyance.

"mmm... The day I arrived, Safia welcomed me. He also prepared food and cleaned Salman's room. He said the woman was the new servant in his house." explained Mika.

Alex who heard that instantly clenched his hands with reddened eyes filled with anger.

Just as Alex was about to leave the room, Mika quickly chased after him. The woman hugged him from behind, she did not want to be left alone.

"Mika, please let me go! I have to go" he asked in a high voice.

"No Alex, you can't go." Mika does not want to let Alex go, she even more tightened her embrace.

"Mika, please understand! I-"

"If you leave, I'll make sure only my body will you get when you return." threatened Mika who made Alex unable to wiggle. His head was pulsating at the thought of this strange situation, he was in a dilemma to choose between Mika and Safia. Both are women he once loved.

Inevitably, Alex was forced to give up and turn around. She takes Mika to bed and helps her lie down. "I won't go, now go to sleep!" he said with a heavy heart.

"Hmm.." muttered Mika according, her hands still faithfully grasped Alex's hands tightly. She was afraid Alex cheated on her and left while she was asleep.

While waiting for Mika to fall asleep, Alex grabbed the phone lying on the nightstand. He tried to contact Salman but his call was not answered at all.

Worried about Safia's situation, she contacted Lia that very second. He needs to know how things are going there. He hopes Salman has not arrived at his home, so he can ask the mother to hide Safia's whereabouts.

However, Alex's efforts were not in line with her wishes, Lia said that Salman had just entered Safia's room after asking for permission.

At first Lia was surprised to see the appearance of the man. She had no idea that Safia was Salman's wife, she had known him for a long time and there was no reason for her to refuse the young businessman.

Alex who heard the mother's explanation instantly fell silent without a sound. It seemed that it was all too late, he could do nothing but wait for the latest news from Lia.

In the room occupied by Safia, Salman stared at the plain face of his wife who was very soothing. His eyes immediately glazed over with an irregular heartbeat.

Not long after, Salman ventured to approach his wife. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared intimately at Safia, the sense of regret growing stronger binding his heart. He was stupid because he had the heart to waste his beautiful wife Safia and treat her badly.

Slowly Salman got closer, he eroded the distance and gently kissed Safia's forehead.

Feeling that someone touched her forehead, Safia squirmed with a little village*han that escaped her mouth. She unconsciously hugged Salman's arm and held him tightly. Salman himself was shocked and had trouble distancing himself. His body was trapped above his wife's frail body.

Not wanting to disturb Safia's sleep, Salman finally chose to lie down next to his wife. Let Safia hug him and lean on his chest.

As Safia's warm breath made Salman's heart thump, he himself did not understand what was happening to him.

Salman raised Safia's head slowly and stretched out one hand. He made his armpits to support Safia's head and held her tightly.

Salman does not care how Safia reacts upon waking up, which is clear he only wants to take advantage of this opportunity to be close to his wife. Trying to make up for the time that was wasted.
