The Bride Who Didn't Miss

CHAPTER 24

It was getting late in the afternoon, Annisa and Dedi were now out of the cafe.

" I'll take you with me " said Dedi to Annisa.

" No, sister, Nisa can go home by herself" Annisa said gently.

" You can't refuse, after all, I can't possibly let an old friend and the wife of my best friend go home alone. " Say Dedi.

Annisa did not answer.

" You don't have to worry, Rafka won't be mad if I take you home." Said Dedi again.

" Okay, brother.." Eventually Annisa agrees to get into Dedi's car again and she is willing to be driven home by him.

Dedi was already preparing at the wheel, while Annisa was already sitting comfortably in the back seat, somehow Annisa likes to sit in the back seat. Maybe it's because he hasn't or isn't used to sitting side by side with men even more so who aren't his muhrim.

For the second time Dedi noticed Annisa through her front rearview mirror.

"You're still as innocent as Nisa used to be

He then runs his car at medium speed leaving the cafe.

" Nis.. Where do you live now? at your parents' house or at Rafka's parents' house?" Ask Dedi while driving her car.

" We're now living in our own home, brother." Annisa.

" Oya.. Which area? I'll take you there." Dedi said casually.

" Housing in the center of town's sister on XX street." Annisa told Dedi the address of her new home.

"Isn't that the address of Rafka's new home she bought while still in love with Maya. Even some of the interior of his room Maya herself who designed it.

Mumbled Dedi.

" Oh. yaudah, I went straight there." Said Dedi who is now increasingly advancing the wheel of his car.

***

After a few minutes have passed. Finally they arrived in front of Rafka's house.

Annisa then got out of the car while taking out the groceries she had bought just now. Also helped with Dedi who carries some of the groceries from Annisa.

After arriving at the front porch of the house, Annisa then stopped and turned towards Dedi.

" Sister, get here. Thank you for helping Nisa and taking Nisa home." Gentle Annisa.

" Yes, I'm also glad I got you here." Dedi.

" Eh. by the way I wasn't told to stop by." Said Dedi again with a slightly joking tone.

" I'm sorry, brother, maybe for today not first. Because there was nobody in the house. Nisa's husband hasn't come home yet, sister." Annisa.

" The next time, sister if Nisa's husband is in the new house, brother Dedi stopped by here. If now nisa is afraid later can arise slander." His words explained gently.

Dedi smiled gently at the words of the girl in front of him.

"It's lucky you Rafka. You can marry a girl who keeps her honor only for her husband.

" Thank you again, brother.." Annisa is back to thank you.

Dedi nodded slowly. Then he threw his smile and then passed away leaving Annisa on the porch of his house.

With a medium speed Dedi then left the Rafka residence towards the road towards his house. Because at that time there was nothing else he needed to do.

All the way back to his house. He was constantly thinking about Annisa. I don't know why the shadow of the innocent girl's face always comes to his mind. Moreover, now that they have met again, Dwdi becomes increasingly unable to brush off the shadow of the girl in his mind.

The car was walking through the city that afternoon. But when Dedi was looking seriously staring at the traffic of his vehicle. Suddenly he stopped his car and stared intently at the corner of the road.

He then frowned at the extension of a fist that had hardened. There he caught a man and woman sitting on the side of the road while eating street food.

They looked so friendly, with a hue of happiness so radiated from both of their faces.

"Rafka, how could you betray Nisa. While Annisa keeps her marwah as a wife, here you are even preoccupied with the woman who has clearly betrayed you.

Mumbled Dedi.

He now returns his car, because he does not want to linger looking at his friends there. He was afraid that later he could not control his emotions if he continued to look at their affection.

Arriving at his residence.

Dedi walked quickly into his house. He went through every room that was there until the end he arrived in front of his room.

Kreeks!

The door sounds open.

Dedi then stepped into the room and walked slowly towards his bed.

In open his suit attached to his body and then he threw his to the sofa not far from his bed.

Now Dedi opened three buttons shirt tops, then he dropped his body on the big size bed.

Dedi stared at the ceiling of his room, with both palms joined together he held his head from behind despite having covered the pillow.

Dedi.

Annisa's face was again clearly visible in her mind. Although they have not met for a long time, and Dedi who has long carried his feelings away from there. But Dedi could not deny that all his feelings for the little girl was still neatly stored in his heart.

" If you had known, I'd already put my feelings on you Nisa. Maybe it's my fault for never being honest about how I feel about you. Until finally now after all this time we have met again but you have become the property of others."

Lirih.

"Annisa, even though I can't have you. But I wouldn't be willing to see you suffer like this, and you're Rafka even though you're my best friend. I'm still not willing to see you hurt Annisa's feelings" She said again.

After a long daydream. Dedi got out of bed, took his cell phone before he put it on the table next to his bed.

Dedi was looking for something on his cell phone but unfortunately, what he was looking for was not found.

"Damn! why could I forget to ask for Annisa's phone number!

He threw his cell phone into the corner of the bed and then passed away to the bathroom in his room.
