The Cost of Trust

The Part 196

"Om.wake up. Don't prostrate like this!", I asked Stevan to get up from before me.

"Daddy, why humble yourself in front of Dian. He'll get bigger head on because Daddy begged like that!", lili snapped at Stevan.

"Silence Lili! You don't know anything?!"

Lili was made silent with just one sentence from her husband.

"Your wife is right. Awake up!"

Despite his slowness, Stevan rose.

"Om.I can't promise if I can bring you guys together. But.. in a few days, the reception fai and Mika. Maybe, after the show is over we can get Hayu to talk."

The expression of Stevan's face that had been grim, now gradually brightened.

"Thank you Ra!", suddenly Stevan hugged me.

"Not mahram Om!", cried Aziz.

Stevan took his arms off me.

"Sorry.om was just too happy. Forgive me Ziz. Please don't get me wrong. Rara's like her own son."

"Helah.search for opportunity! Why don't you just hurt your wife, Stevan??!"

"Udah mas....!" I asked Aziz to be quiet. I know, um Stevan spontaneously hugged me because he was happy I would meet Hayu with him. Not just because of the nap.

"Then I go home to Ra. Ziz. And..please, forgive Lili if all this has disturbed your life!", said Stevan.

"Daddy what the hell?!?" lili sulks. Just like a child sulking at his father.

Now it's just me and Aziz in this room. I was massaging my temples that felt dizzy.

"Darling...!", Aziz rubbed my arm.

"Have I forgiven Stevan? After all, what is my reason for not forgiving her? All has happened. It's fate like this."

I leaned my head against the back of the sofa. But Aziz grabbed me in his arms.

"I know, wife is very nice. Even too good. You are very easy to forgive others."

"I'm not as good as you are.!", I drowned my head in his chest.

"Prepare, soon we have a meeting with PT Xxxx above."

"Ah ..iya yes. I haven't even prepared the ingredients yet. Let alone preparing, study it not yet."

I got up to my desk. Then I open the file that I will use for the meeting with the representative of PT Xxxx.

My eyes began to scrutinize each of those documents.

"Mas...have you prepared it for me?", I asked as I raised my head to him who was beside me.

"Of course, honey, that's all I can do for you."

Spontaneously I hugged his athletic body.

"You always understand me!"

Aziz smiled and rubbed my head.

"Because you're precious to me."

In between our arms, the door of the room was knocked.

Tok....

"Lake in!"

Julian came into my room.

"Excuse me, sir. The meeting will begin soon!"

"Yes, you're going there" I said.

"Not us, but you and Julian."

"Mas....???!"

"Mas here, there's something you have to work on as well."

"Then the presentation?"

Aziz smiled at her smile.

"By just reading a glance, you can understand it. You're very good at deck talk, it's not difficult just a presentation?"

"Mas....!!!", I pinched his waist.

"Sick deck! Shame on Julian! Right there, not going anywhere. There was a report from Bogor. I want to suck!"

"Yes, promise. Don't go anywhere!"

"Yes dear. Good luck with your presentation, boss!!!"

"Every boss sir!", I said with a grin.

Julian was only able to impersonate, how romantic this couple.

"Please Ma'am....!".

As usual, Julian let me go first.

We both walked to the elevator. Occasionally meet with other employees and respond.

"Mas Jul!"

"Yes Ma'am,?"

We were just two in the elevator, because ininloft is special for DWP officials.

"How are the preparations? Are you also ready to help me in case I have trouble?"

"I'm ready to help you Mom!"

After the elevator door opened, it turned out that the party from PT xxx both came out of the elevator next door.

We also started our meeting.

"Are you sure you're moving into Selly's house?", asked papa Umar.

"Yes pa. Mika seneng aja pa. Kan deket same Dian , Imah and Stevi", replied Mika cheerfully.

"And you agree Fai?", asked my father.

"Originally happy pa. If only Mika wanted to, Fai could buy a house for Mika."

Papa Umar smiled. Yes, of course his son-in-law could buy a house for his daughter.

"Yes, it's up to you. The important thing is, if there's anything, don't hesitate to call papa."

"Of course my dear papa!", mika hugged papa umar.

"So, when did you guys move?"

"This morning pa. Coincidentally mika there is practice later in the afternoon. So, we're moving out this morning."

"Must be this morning?", asked papa.

"Yes my dear papa. We want, after the reception we go straight home to our own house."

"Say the newlyweds don't want to be disturbed!", said papa while drinking his coffee.

"That papa knows....!"

The three of us had breakfast together.

"Assynnya!"

"Moskalamic. Ustadzah Syifa????", asked Hayu who was surprised at the guest so early.

"Have you been busy?" asked Ustadzah Syifa, wife of ustadz Zaki.

"No Ustadzah! Let's get in!"

Two women of different ages also entered the simple living room owned by Hayu.

"What's up here? Is it going to take Faiz to the race again?"

Syifa shook her head slowly and smiled.

"Mbak Hayu..can I ask you something personal?"ask Syifa.

"Of course Ustadzah, Why?"

"What...after the departure of the late Royan, Mayu was already close to a man? You mean to marry again?"

"Astagfirullah..sorry Ma'am ustadzah before I answer, can you know why al-Syifa asked like that?"

Ustadzah Syifa took a slow breath.it seemed like he was gathering as much oxygen to be strong to deliver something to Hayu.

"If not yet.I asked my husband, to....to.hitbah mbak Hayu!", said Ustadzah Syifa while shedding tears.

"Astagfirullah, Allahuakbar.!", mayu covered her mouth with both hands.

"Mbak Hayu, my husband likes mbak hayu. I just don't want any misunderstandings going forward. Therefore, I ventured to ask directly to mbak Hayu."

Hayu freezes. So, the kindness of ustadz Zaki all this time?????

Hayu also said bismillah before making a decision.

"I'm sorry about Syifa. I don't have a replacement for Royan. But.not once in my mind, to."

Syifa looked at Hayu with a sad look.

"I mean, I don't want to be the destroyer of your household. My science is still shallow. I accept polygamy. But I don't want to run it. Sorry, I can't if I have to be Zaki's wife. Moreover, Ustadzah Syifa is still healthy and there is no reason for Ustadz Zaki to be polygamous, especially with me. I don't want to get married just because of lust. You know me, right????"

The eyes of Ustadzah Syifa glazed over, then hugged Hayu while stunned.

"Please. I can't accept his proposal."

"Thank you Hayu!"

Syifa hugged Hayu even more.

How can it be like this?

I'm sure Ustadz Zaki will not remain silent. Moreover, he has been too kind to me all this time.

What do I have to be, God???

Damar?!! What...do I need Damar's help???!

What...I have to open my heart to Damar? Rather than me having to hurt Ustadzah Syifa who has been good to me....????

*****

Couldn't you, give me a fresh breeze for Damar?

Dikitttt. May ya????

Eits.but...Damar no struggle dong???? 🤔
