Regrets After the Farewell

Chapter 49.

As Saka said yesterday, today he and Safia really did not come to the hospital. Salman, curious, then asked Safia whereabouts to the nurse who took care of her.

The nurse said that today Safia and Alex are taking a leave of absence together, the second task has been entrusted to another doctor.

Salman smiled bitterly after hearing the sister's words, it turns out that Saka and Safia really want to spend time with Alex her best friend.

After the nurse left the room, Salman got up from the bed. His energy had already accumulated and the wound on his waist had also started to dry up.

Salman then retracted the infusion and got down from the gurney. Before leaving the hospital, he washed his face first and quickly changed his clothes and went to the administration desk.

Salman asked her how much she should spend, but one nurse said the hospital bill was paid. Salman was surprised, he believed Safia had done it.

Then Salman continued his steps towards the gate, he stood on the sidewalk and stopped a taxi.

After Salman sat in the taxi, he asked the driver to take him to the sorum where he worked. Salman wants to meet the head of leadership and resign from his job.

Salman has decided, he can no longer be in the same city as Safia and Saka, he will not be able to see Safia owned by another man, he said, staying away would be better than destroying himself.

After successfully speaking with the head of the leadership, Salman again boarded a taxi. He asked the driver to drive him home, he had to pack, tomorrow morning he had to disappear from the city.

While on his way, Salman saw a cake shop. Suddenly he exclaimed that the driver pulled over at the place and went down and bought a birthday cake, whatever was on his mind at the moment.

After getting the cake he wanted, Salman re-entered the taxi and told the driver to continue the journey.

Upon arrival at home, Salman placed the cake on the table. He sat on the floor and opened the cake alone and lit a candle.

"Happy birthday, Safia. My only hope is to see you and our son happy."

After saying that, Salman closed his eyes for a moment and blew the candle away by himself. His mood grew increasingly chaotic imagining Saka's words yesterday.

Salman knows Safia, Saka and Alex are celebrating this special day together, the three of them must be very happy and having fun, unlike him who must be back in a lonely storm.

Unable to imagine all that, Salman finally got carried away with emotion. He punched the cake and scrambled it to shreds and then walked into the room.

Then Salman went into the bathroom, turned on the shower faucet and stood under the splashing water that fell soaked his body.

"Well..."

Salman shouted hysterically and was stunned on the bathroom floor. Salman bent and scrambled his hair in frustration.

"I am useless." cried Salman loudly filled the bathroom.

Just after an hour of self-harm, Salman got up and turned off the faucet. He grabbed a towel and undressed and wrapped the towel around his waist.

Salman then walked out of the bathroom and opened the closet door.

After putting on new clothes, Salman lowered the suitcase from the top of the closet. He quickly packed his belongings and closed the zipper immediately.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep my promise to stay here. I don't want to ruin your happiness, I have to go."

Salman dragged the suitcase and stepped out of the room. However, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt as he caught the whereabouts of Safia and Saka standing before him.

"We should have asked you. Where are you going?" ask Safia back.

"It's none of your business" Salman said coldly, throwing his eyes in the other direction.

"Hm... You're right, I don't deserve to know anything about you, but what about Saka? Doesn't he deserve to know?" safia hatch.

Salman fell silent then turned his neck towards Saka and looked at her intensely. Slowly his feet moved towards Saka who was still glued to where he stood.

Salman then squatted to align himself with Saka. "I'm sorry, Dad. Papa has to go, Papa's business here is done. Papa can't stay here, Papa-"

"Papa left me once. If you leave again this time, I won't forbid it. Go, but never come back let alone think of me as Papa's son. Let's just say I'm dead!" cut Saka.

"Saka, don't talk like that. Papa"

"Well, you never loved me, did you mean Papa?" saka hose with a sharp gaze of killing.

"No, son, it's not that. Papa loves you very much. But things are different, Papa can't be with Saka. Papa"

"Why can't it? Will a coward always run away when he can't get what he wants?" cerca Saka again cut off Salman's words.

Salman smiled bitterly. "Yes, Papa is indeed a coward, Papa cannot face reality." nodding Salman lowered his head.

Salman could not defend himself, he felt that what Saka said was true. He was indeed nothing more than a coward who had always run away from reality.

"Growing up to be a strong and brave boy, Saka must be the best among the best. Take care of Mama and protect her, Papa is sure Saka can." added Salman then hugged Saka tightly and kissed her cheek.

Satisfied with letting go of Saka's longing, Salman then let go of his embrace and rose from his squat. He picked up the suitcase and dragged it to the door.

Safia who saw that was just silently shedding tears, she wanted to prevent but her tongue was very heavily moved.

"When Papa decides to leave Saka, Saka will return to the hospital. Saka will ask Uncle Alex to remove the spinal cord that Papa has given to Saka, Saka does not want cowardly limbs like Papa embedded in Saka's body."

Degs...

Salman's footsteps were restrained in the doorway when he heard his son's words. Salman turned around and looked at Saka lirih.

"Saka does not want to live as Papa wants, Saka will die and Mama will suffer alone." said Saka firmly and loudly.

"No kid, please don't do that!" lirih Salman shed tears.

"The choice is in Papa's hands, Saka is not kidding, today also Saka will return to the hospital." Saka threw away his face and clasped Safia's hand. "Come, Ma!"

As Saka drew Safia's hand about to leave, Salman quickly closed the door and locked it. "Until any moment, Papa won't let you do that stupidity." pressurized Salman locked the two in the house.

"Saka doesn't care. Remember, it was not Saka who kicked Papa out, but Papa himself who decided to leave. Then why lock us up now? Quickly open the door! Saka doesn't want to linger here!"

Saka took off Safia's hand and tried to snatch the key child that was in Salman's grasp, he did not even hesitate to hit Salman's arm and bite his hand.

"Even if you kill Papa, Papa will never allow you to do that stupid thing" said Salman, who is fighting to defend himself against Saka's attack. Both of them fell on the floor and rolled around fighting over the small object.
