Sidewalk

Chapter 106 Romi

That person turned towards the Shafi, a smile was engraved on his face.

"Thank you, ladies, I'll excuse you first, there's business with my friend's wife." The man immediately spurred his steps towards the Shafi.

Shafi stared intently at the person walking towards him. Wanting to curse the man, then his aunt and neighbor would know that he was here for staying away from Dirga.

"Do you know me?" The man immediately asked a question.

"It doesn't seem like it" answered the Shafi briefly.

"But I know you very well, it's just that we never met." The man without asking permission from the Shafi he immediately sat on the porch of the house of the Shafi grandmother made of ulin wood board.

"If you come here, just to ask me back to Dirga, your efforts fail."

"I'm not persuading you to come back, just want to tell a story." The man tried to throw a smile at the eyes of neighbors across the house Shafi who kept on pointing towards him.

"If only to tell a story Dirga is sad to suffer blah blah blah, I will not pity."

"Yes ... Dirga is indeed very changed, not a cheerful figure, even now-"

"Gue doesn't care!" Cut the Shafi fast.

"I'm Dirga's best friend, my name is Romi, you know I'm recovering, to open your eyes that are still closed, I'm determined to take a 3-hour air trip, a 4-hour road trip. Just to make amends!" Romi can no longer afford to be sweet.

"This is my wedding invitation for you, you want to come or not up!" Romi gave the envelope to the Shafi. "5 Months to go, may your brain and heart function properly."

The Shafi received the envelope from Romi and slowly opened it, clearly visible the name 'Romi & Wayla' and the woman in the photo was very familiar.

"I think you already know the woman in the invitation, her name is Wayla, familiarly called Lala, she is my lover and my future wife. I'm the biological father of Lala's son."

The two syafi eyeballs are perfectly rounded.

"That night, my extended family meeting, my grandfather wanted to determine who was the successor to the leadership of my family's company, but because of my depraved behavior, my grandfather and other families did not agree that I occupied that position. The length of the story, until finally the reins of leadership will be determined by Qida's son my cousin, or my son, the problem is that me and Qida are both unmarried, so that grandfather will give temporary power to om Fablo." Romi drew so in his breath. Prepare to tell more.

"I can catch my mother's grief, because you know, if I don't want to get married, because I don't believe in commitment, it is certain that the next leader is from the family om Fablo, mama's sad not because of the loss of office, but the way om Fablo runs the company is very inhumane."

"I don't want the way the company's performance has changed, I'm finally telling you the dilemma I saved the last 3 months."

"My meeting with Lala wasn't a beautiful thing for Lala, I raped Lala, but I ended up falling in love with Lala when I found out Lala was 2 months pregnant."

"3 months passed, I kept promising to marry her, but I haven't proven it yet. 3 months I was confused how I told my family, if Romi who is naughty and will not want to get married is in love and wants to marry his lover who has been pregnant for 5 months."

"That night, I thought this was my chance, I said that I had a lover who was 5 months pregnant, I wanted to marry her, but I was confused how to tell you all."

"All my family was happy, I was finally asked to pick up my future wife, but as soon as I traveled, I felt that someone was following me, until I went to my best friend Ayu's house, I forgot that Ayu's overseas, I finally left a letter there."

"I continued on my way, but not to Lala's house, I'm sure the one who followed me must have been after my flesh and blood."

"I was desperate, until I accidentally saw Dirga from a distance, I called her, asked her to pick up my future wife, I didn't want Lala to be disappointed, because I had promised her, if tonight's gonna pick her up, and marry her tonight."

"However, my stalker realized that I was trying to escape from them, until that night finally my last chance opened my eyes, after that night, I was lying in the Hospital for almost 7 months."

Shafi was increasingly surprised to hear the story of the man in front of his eyes.

"I only realized 2 weeks ago, before I realized in my subconscious, I saw Lala and my mother crying and blaming me, because Dirga was rowing his own boat, said the mother, it was my fault, my guilt allowed me to wake up from my subconscious."

"When I came to my senses, Lala told me everything. If the night of the tragedy happened, Dirga was framed by Lala's sister." Romi told Getra what he had done until the wedding.

"In that bond, Dirga is only a victim, do you still have the heart to punish a helper like this?"

"Shafi, come back …." Persuad Romi's. 

"If my story you consider only my hallucinations to attract your pity for Dirga, this is proof of everything." Romi gave me some other envelopes.

One by one the Shafi opened, the first envelope containing the results of DNA tests Romi and Fattah, the second envelope of divorce Dirga and Lala, the third envelope information about Romi Hospital.

"If Dirga's good ends in suffering, do not blame other people if good is destroyed from the face of the earth, because people will be deterred from doing good, if only the sap sticks to their hands after helping."

"I'm sorry, I can't forgive Dirga's lies, you better go home, whoever comes won't change my current stance."

"Advertise, I have come to open your eyes to Dirga's love which is only for you. I'm saying goodbye." Romi spurred his footsteps away from the house of the Shafi.

"Who was Fiy?"

Her aunt's question made Shafi aware of her daydream.

"Friends brother Dirga bi, he came to our house, said my maid here, he did not ask if I went home alone whether the two are the same there, mbak, he came straight here to see Dirga, he wants to give us an invitation directly bi." Shafi shows Romi and Lala's wedding invitation to his aunt.

"Why not get in?"

"Idihih aunty, if invited in, in the house only two, danger. He's only been for a while, anyway, I'd like to make him drink."

"Dirga must be a very nice person, imagine from across the ocean there, his friend came just for Dirga."

Shafi was silent at his aunt's words.

*****

Flash back Romi's.

Karla is very frustrated, just to help Romi, Dirga lost everything. "When you keep going like this!" Karla screamed as much as she could towards Romi.

"You know Dirga loves his wife very much, if you can't get up, it also doesn't rule out Dirga will die too! Because no one saved the house!" 

Plakkkp!

The exposure was so harsh that Karla landed on Romi's right cheek. Suddenly it made everyone surprised by Karla's actions just now.

Not surprised because Karla slaps Romi, but surprised Karla's actions make both eyes open Romi.

"Rome!" Everyone was so happy to see Romi sober.

"Mama, please protect Lala, Lala and our child in danger" Romi lamented, Romi's voice sounded so weak.

"My son and I are fine, soon our 7-month-old son."

Romi was surprised to see Lala, Ayu, Qida, also in front of his eyes.

"Silver in a coma for 7 months" Qida said.

Karla began to tell what happened during these 7 months, including the marriage of Lala and Dirga, to make the household that Dirga built for 3 years destroyed instantly.

"I'm going to Kalimantan ma, I want to help my best friend, he has saved children and women I love besides mama, it's time I help my best friend who lost his love."

"May dear, and mama be proud of your intentions, but recover your health first."

Day after day passed, feeling his body really healthy, Romi flew to Kalimantan armed with the address he got from Sam.
