Regrets After the Farewell

Chapter 22.

After Anton left his residence, Salman reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his iPhone.

He contacted someone and asked the person to resolve the CCTV issue at the hotel where he and Safia were staying that night.

Then Salman went into his private room and removed the digital traces stored on CCTV in every corner of his house.

Salman remembers how serious Safia was when she spoke to Anton. Before Safia actually got the evidence for her behavior the other day, she chose to act first.

Basically Salman did not want to divorce Safia after knowing what happened. Let Safia remain his wife, as time goes by Salman believes their household will improve like a typical husband-and-wife relationship.

Safia came out of the room in neat clothes. The upper body is wrapped in a knit sweater patterned in a black and white box, while the bottom is wearing black jeans complete with matching white sneakers. A sling bag hung over his shoulder.

"Safia, where are you going?" ask Salman who just came out of his private room. He walked over to Safia and stood before her.

Safia looked at Salman for a moment and then turned her face the other way, she was very lazy to serve her crazy husband.

"Safia, I asked you nicely. Please, don't look at me like this enemy!" salman held back the resentment lodged in his heart. He was really confused how to deal with his wife's stubbornness.

"Why am I talking to you? You forget that I'm just a doll wife to you?" safia replied opening her voice, she looked at Salman with an annoyed look and swung her legs after saying that.

"Safia..." Salman ran after his wife and tried to grab her hand.

Safia who was irritated then jerked Salman's hands violently and then stared at him with a deadly look. "My decision is unanimous, I want to find proof of your affair and file a divorce as soon as possible. Remember, I-"

"Just like Safia, I told people to erase all the evidence in the hotel and in the house. You won't get any proof, I don't want a divorce. I believe this household can still be saved" said Salman clearly with a foggy view, he still hoped Safia would give him another chance.

"Suck!" safia said she hit Salman right in the face. "You're a real bastard Salman, I hate you."

"You're right Safia, I'm a jerk, you have every right to hate me. But as evil as I am, this is all I do because of my love for the woman who has brought me into this world. I felt that there was a discrepancy over Mother's death so that it was wrong to make a decision. I just need one chance to fix everything." Salman said with darkened face. He was well aware of the mistake he had made towards Safia.

Salman does not want the two of them to separate, he will do anything to keep Safia as his wife. He promised his father and he had to keep it.

As Salman fell silent in his thoughts, Safia left the man and ran into the room. He was furious after learning that Salman had already acted behind him.

Upon arrival in the room, Safia threw her body on the bed. He was confused to think of a way to escape the shackles of this dark marriage. For him there is no apology for a traitorous husband like Salman.

Moments after Safia tried to calm herself down, Salman arrived at the room and sat on the edge of the bed. He stared fixedly at Safia who was lying on her back.

"I know it's all my fault. Can't you forgive me just once? I promise I will treat you well, I will end my relationship with Mika. Give me one chance to prove it!" salman said as he touched Safia's shoulder.

"The opportunity was gone, I just wanted to part" Safia replied sobbing and removing Salman's hand from her shoulder, not feeling her tears keep falling considering what Salman had done to her.

No matter why Salman usurped his chastity by force, Safia could still accept that, however Salman was entitled to her.

However, Safia could not accept the moment Salman kissed another woman in front of his eyes. Safia felt very devastated at that time, her pride seemed insignificant in the eyes of Salman.

What's wrong if Safia wants to part from him? Would Safia sin if she rejected Salman as her husband?

Safia does love the man very much, but that does not mean Salman can be arbitrary towards him.

If from the beginning there was no love in Salman's heart for him, then why did this marriage continue?

Safia just wanted to enjoy the remnants of the opportunity she had. He was afraid that one day all those memories would disappear from his mind.

He still wants to be what kind of doctor he aspired to be since childhood. She did not want to be imprisoned in this uncertain marriage.

"Give me a chance for a month, yes a month." Salman asked with confidence.

"For what?" lirih Safia without daring to look at Salman.

"To prove that I deserve to be your husband. To make sure that you do not contain my flesh and blood and to make sure that I love you." replied Salman firmly.

"Heh, a person like you never loved anyone else. You are selfish and love only yourself." Safia replied.

"Hm... For now just think of it that way. You have the right to judge me as you please, I admit that I'm not a good person." - Salman.

"Go, I want to sleep." Safia's gone.

"Okay, I'm leaving. But please don't ever leave this house, I'll be back when my business is done" Salman said.

"I don't promise" Safia said.

"Safia.." sizzled Salman as he gripped Safia's arm slowly and rubbed her gently.

"I know you're going to see that woman, right?" Safia squeezes the bolster and tightly coils it. His tears were pouring down without him being able to stand.

"Why trap me in such a complicated situation? If you love her, then just let go of me. I don't want to be a hindrance to the relationship between the two of you." Safia sobbed, her voice barely audible.

"For now I admit that I love her. Our relationship was long established, even before the two of us met. But in reality I am your husband, you are more worthy of me. Give me some room to solve this!" salman asked for time.

"Unfortunately I don't care, I don't want to know about you two" Safia said.

"Yes, it's up to you. Then I'll go first,"

With a heavy heart, Salman was forced to leave Safia alone. She indeed had to finish her affairs with Mika immediately in order for Safia to trust her.

It's really hard for Salman, he's stuck between two tough choices.

On one side of her lover, the woman she loved so much. While on the other hand was his wife, the woman he had to take care of as per his father's mandate before leaving this mortal world. Salman has to choose even though it is heavy.
