Sharing Love "The First Wife's Wait"
Chapter 18
In the afternoon after Fatma came home from the hospital she returned to the food stall of Ibu Esih, he plans to ask for a day's clearance tomorrow because he has to look for a hospital fee loan and Tantri's operation.
"Mom, may I ask permission tomorrow not to work first, because I have to find a loan for my sister's fee" said Fatma when she arrived at the stall then it.
"Is your sister's condition so bad?" ask Esih Ma.
"Yes ma'am, there is a blockage of blood vessels in his brain must immediately perform surgery. I don't have that kind of money right now. Actually I feel confused to find money where that much within twenty-four hours" replied Fatma slowly.
He is not the type of person who is easy to tell the problem to others, but at this time he really needs a place to lean and exchange ideas. Ms. Esih faithfully listened to Fatma's story, sometimes she also rubbed Fatma's hand to give her strength.
"Oh my god, son. I do not think if the burden you carry is very heavy, hopefully one day you will get happiness worth the burden you feel right now" ma'am Esih said after Fatma told him everything she experienced, including about her marriage to Reymond.
"Amin, Ma. Thank you for listening to all my complaints" said Fatma by hugging the middle-aged woman's body.
"Together, son. I'm happy if you can open up like this to Mom" replied Esih's mother while replying to Fatma's embrace.
After their conversation was over, Fatma resigned to return to her apartment. Along the way he seemed unfocused, until several times he stumbled and nearly fell.
"Oh my god, what should I do now" said Fatma as she entered the elevator.

Leandro was staring at a man he trusted a few days ago to look after Fatma, but the man was so edgy that Fatma could be approached by Nadira. And this time he was again upset, because the guard who watched Fatma was late to provide information about his sister who had just had an accident.
"Why did you get so caught off guard like this again?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I really didn't expect the car to go after Miss Tantri"
Leandro took a deep breath, he was confused if suddenly immediately met Fatma and pay the hospital fee of his sister, Fatma will refuse his concern.
"Now you're out of here. Your energy is no longer needed" said Leandro with his emotions.
"But tuan–"
"I don't want to hear your words anymore. Get out of here" Leandro kicked the guy out.
Unable to say anything more, the man left Leandro in his room.

Elsewhere, Nadira was satisfied. He was so happy with what he had done that it made Reymond feel strange to his wife.
"Darling, you seem to be happy right now?" reymond asked curiously.
"Of course, baby, I'm always happy when I'm with you, like now" Nadira said, she's unlikely to say why she's always smiling right now.
"Is that how you love me? Whatever I do in your eyes is never wrong. Too bad for you" said Nadira with a smile on Reymond who did not realize it.
They chatted as usual, like a couple of newlyweds. Ever since Reymond had stayed at Fatma's apartment, Nadira had become more possessive of her. Nadira never allowed Reymond to go far away from him.
Tring.. tring...
Reymond's cell phone rang, the caller ID there was clearly plastered name Fatma. Reymond answered the phone call.
"Hmmm, hello"
"Sorry to interrupt your night time, sir. I– I–"
"Talk right! don't piss me off"
"Master, can I meet you?"
"..."
Silent.
"Sir are you still there?" fatma asked again for not hearing Reymond's voice anymore.
After waiting for the call for three minutes without a sound, Reymond finally answered.
"My master please help, my sister–"
"Tut. tut... tut.." Fatma had not yet expressed her intention, his wife Nadira had snatched Reymond's cell phone.
"Darling, what are you doing?" reymond asked, not liking Nadira's attitude.
"Who's with you it's me, why are you calling with him?" nadira renuk while throwing his face away.
"It's not like that, baby. It's just that it looks like the woman is in need of something" Reymond replied.
"I don't like it when you get close to him, Rey. I'm jealous, I'm hurt because you're treating me like this" Nadira said with a sad mimic (Trust me, it's very effective to make Reymond even worse on him)
"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to make you sad" Reymond replied, hugging Nadira. Nadira who always knew how to control Reymond smiled cynically in the arms of her husband.

Fatma sobbed, the only person she hoped could help her sister turned out to be a bully.
"I regret following secretary Zio's advice, he didn't help me at all" Fatma muttered as she threw her old cell phone on the bed.
Shortly before Fatma called Reymond.
Fatma got out of the elevator with a shaky step, all the way home she kept thinking about how to get the money she needed.
As he was about to enter his unit, he recalled the incident before he married Reymond, which was to contact Zio's secretary. After weighing all the possibilities, Fatma finally boldly started calling Zio's secretary.
"Hello sir"
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"Don't call me madam, sir. I'm just a pretended wife"
"You're a legal wife in the eyes of law and religion, your marriage is also recorded in the country"
"Akh, all right, it's up to you. May I ask you a favor?"
"What does the Lady need?"
"I–"
"Yes?"
"I need money for Tantri's surgery, my sister. He had an accident last afternoon and had to be dealt with immediately"
"How much do you need?"
"50 million"
"..." quiet.
"Sir, can you help me?"
"Sorry Madam, that's a lot of money. You'd better call Mr. Rey first to ask her permission"
Fatma breathed a heavy sigh.
"Alright, thank you secretary Zio. Sorry to bother you"
After saying that, Fatma disconnected her phone, and tried to contact Reymond.
"Now who can I expect?"
DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A TRACE
THANKS 🤗🤗🤗
