Sorry I Love You, Friend!

Thresholds

"illness?"

Aldi frowned in horror while gluing the gauze that had been soaked in alcohol liquid to the corner of Aska's lips.

"Slightly," Aska cringed the pain as soon as the cold accompanied the pain sting attacked the wound and the surrounding skin.

Ten minutes ago, Aldi parked his car in front of a pharmacy just a few turns away from home. Although Aska showed no signs of pain but saw a blue rash that began to be dark in the corner of Aska's lips made Aldi shudder in horror. You can imagine how Mama's expression was so see her beloved daughter had a scar let alone the mark was printed clearly on her face, in guarantee Mama must be angry.

"Some of you go to that jerk's house," hissed Aldi. His hand continued to move tidying up the medicines and disposing of the pieces of gauze he had finished using.

Aska sniffed her shoulders. "Come," he said.

There was a lingering feeling in her heart every time a question came out from the people around her, why did Aska hold up next to Carly? Aska obviously did not love the man but she also did not deny Carly's presence by his side. In the corner of Aska's heart, there was a sense in the word that was hard to express. Every time she looked at Carly, Aska felt like she was standing in front of a mirror reflecting her image in Carly's form. A lonely mane hidden behind a tough and strong attitude plus a fake smile.

Aldi gave a long sigh. "What's your plan now?"

"Come on," said Aska, back in a resigned tone and blank stare splitting the scenery outside the car glass.

Aldi was tired. "Sleep," she broke up before she drove back. He was lost in regret, had it been two years ago that he prevented Aska from accepting this engagement, Aldi was sure his sister would never have experienced what happened today.

...***...

"Aska!" Nirmala immediately greeted Aska who had just got off the car. Nirmala's breath was restrained as soon as she saw the blue print and a red rash forming fingers on her daughter's cheeks.

"What's going on?" Panicked calling.

Aska simply shook her head then rushed away from the crowd that greeted her.

"Loh Ka's? Where you going?" Ela immediately chased after Aska. Ela needs an accurate explanation or tonight she's going back to the field out of curiosity.

"Aldi?" Nirmala turned to urging her son because Aska refused to speak.

"Where is Ma?" Instead Aldi.

He was also confused as to where to begin. Aska didn't tell me anything that happened during her time with Carly. Aldi can only explain the last scene he saw in person but he thinks Papa is the first person to know what Carly has done to his daughter.

"In the workspace."

"We met Papa first yuk Ma," asked Aldi.

Nirmala was confused. He followed his son up the stairs to the room that was farthest from the stairs, a space specifically designed as a workspace.

Aldi knocked on the door twice, waiting for a few seconds before hearing the answer from inside the room.

"Why Al?" Agus asked as soon as he saw Aldi appear with a tense face and Nirmala beside him accompanied with an anxious look.

"Pa, we need to talk about Carly."

Aldi sat on a nearby sofa, waiting for Papa's reaction. Agus glanced at his wife, asking for support.

Nirmala approached her husband, patting gently on the shoulder of the man who had not slept all night thinking about his daughter's condition. Nirmala invited Agus to sit down with her.

"Papa must cancel Aska's engagement" shoot Aldi directly. This time he would not hesitate to block Aska's engagement with Carly.

Agus breathed a heavy sigh. "Al, we need to talk to Aska and Carly first."

"Talk?!" Aldi is angry. "Do you know what Carly did? Aldi saw himself Pa, Carly was rough with Aska even he mukulin Aska until bloody," demanded Aldi emotion. He even described the events he saw more dramatically to add to the effects of hyperbole.

"Papa knows you mean Al, but-"

"Why the hell? Why are you so afraid that Aska broke up with Carly?"

Agus rubbed his stiff nape. "That's not what Papa Al meant, at first Papa also sentin to end this engagement but Aska's relationship with Carly was too far away. Papa's just scared, Aska's condition gets worse later."

"What's so bad about Pa?" Sergey Aldi is confused. "Papa can see for himself. I'm not interested in this relationship at all. He's just maxing himself out because he doesn't want to let Papa down."

"Al," Nirmala called her son, asking Aldi to lower the intensity of her voice. How Agus is Aska's father and her husband definitely wants the best for his daughter.

Aldi rubbed his face in a huff. "Pa, it's not too late for us to keep Aska out of harm's way. Aldi is sure, Carly will harm Aska if we do not act immediately," he said.

The only problem she still considered keeping Carly was the man's promise to accept Aska as she was. Before the engagement day, Carly comes to see him and gives Aska's medical records in his presence. Not many people who know the mental health history of Aska, Agus closed it deeply including asking the hospital where Aska underwent rehabilitation to keep Aska's condition secret from anyone. Only Nirmala, the only person nearby, knows.

Carly did not threaten him directly just that every sentence he threw brought a nightmare for Agus. He could not imagine Aska's condition that had gradually normalized had to return at the lowest point of return.

At the beginning of Agus heard the news about the death of Bima, the first thing that came to his mind was the psychiatric condition of Aska. Is his daughter able to survive the news of the departure of the best friend in his life? Will Aska's soul return to the labile.

Miraculously, what Agus feared did not happen. I don't know what force made Aska managed to rise from his slump. Although the reason Aska sounded ridiculous to him, but Agus tried to tolerate to see his daughter still strong to live life.

Seeing the condition of his daughter, Agus began to doubt Carly's every word. Aska a strong child, Agus believes Aska's soul condition is strong to survive any conditions that occur to him so that Agus decided to support whatever decision Aska if his daughter intends to end her relationship with Carly.

However, a few days ago Carly came and firmly said Aska was pregnant with her child and she would do anything to maintain this relationship including taking Aska away and forgetting her family. Instantly Agus was shaken, he could not afford to lose his beloved daughter. Agus again doubted his decision and chose to withdraw to see where this relationship was headed.

If Aska is really pregnant with Carly's child then Agus must immediately marry the two. If not, Agus will not interfere too far. Aska must end her relationship with Carly or her own wishes without coercion from any party.

...***...

"Are you really pregnant?"

Aska glanced at Ela sharply. Since entering the room, Ela kept repeating the same question many times to make Aska tired of hearing it.

"What the hell is that?" Urge Ela. Ignoring Aska's silent actions.

"Huh," Aska let out a long sigh. "Stop asking the same thing" he said.

Ela poked her lips a few inches. "I'm curious Aska," he whined.

"You're curious about kepo."

"Please Ka, replied dong. What really isn't?"

"No," said Aska firmly without taking his eyes off the contract that was being read before signing him. "Is this everything?"

Ela was speechless confused, "what?"

Aska flicked one of the sheets of paper from inside the map.

"Oh, you know," Ela responded, she's back in professional fashion. Grabbing a ballpoint pen on the nightstand and handing it to Aska.

Ela scrutinized every sheet that Aska had signed so that there was no mistake before tomorrow was handed over to the prosecutor's office.

"Then?" Ela returns to kepo mode once she makes sure all the work is done. He sat down and folded his legs. Putting a flirtatious pose.

"Sovernight doing so until bonyok. Like Carly's a masochist?"

Ela danced her fingers on Aska's upper thigh, seducing the woman. It is very difficult to make Aska open, even to this day Aska never once told the condition of the family even her sexuality relationship with any man. Only the name Bima often appears from his lips.

Aska mengos lazy, "stop doing that. Let's discuss if the work is already done," he said.

Ela snatched the resignation. He pulled his foot off the bed.

"Oh yeah, did you see Areta back in her office?" Remember Aska. "She said something?"

Ela shook her head quickly. "I just met Hani, he said Areta again outside the city service."

Aska nodded her head, it felt like she was putting too high expectations on Areta. Where maybe the busy woman will help him further to find Bima.

"Tomorrow I'll go out. You go to the prosecutor's office and notary to take care of the legality of all the new office checks, yes" said Aska. He tidied the pile of paper on the bed and handed it to Ela.

"Who? Are you not the story?" Ela protested as soon as she saw Aska pull a blanket high up to cover her face.

"Sleepy, a little if you still remember," Aska argued.

She turned her body around to Ela. Leaving the woman with curiosity still soaring sky-high.
