The Former

IDIOT

After Ardi's departure, Nindy looked back at the blob of letters that had been thrown away by him and slowly stepped up to retrieve the paper. Nindy returned to reading word by word that was written in black ink slowly. And for the umpteenth time his heart felt pain, his heart ached because it had to return to feel the path of destiny that was not according to his wishes.

"Stupid!" Aspersion.

"Why do you make a decision without asking me first and asking my opinion. You asked me to give you a chance but why did you choose to leave".

Ardi said that one of his bodyguards had seen Rafael come to the cafe when he met Haikal at that time and that meant Rafael again misunderstood him. Nindy realized that he had been letting the problem drag on for too long, until finally misunderstanding again occurred.

If only Nindy knew that Rafael had also come to the cafe, he would have explained everything at that moment. But unfortunately he was late to know it until finally a decision made by Rafael unilaterally.

Had Rafael known what was going on between him and Haikal, could he have left anyway?

The Flashback

Haikal looked at the beautiful woman who was sitting opposite him, honestly his heart was so sick when he was about to say his decision at that time.

"I'll be back tomorrow and today I need answers from you" Haikal said.

"Who will you choose? Me or your husband?" Ask.

Nindy looked at Haikal, hesitating to answer him.

"If you can't choose between me and your husband, then I'll stand down".

"Mas!" Nindy was shocked to hear Haikal's words.

"I want us to break up" Haikal said loudly.

Haikal's decision was beyond Nindy's expectations. He never thought Haikal would make that decision.

"Our relationship is no good, Nin. We're in the wrong relationship".

"I know" Sahut Nindy.

"I don't want this to happen either".

Haikal clasped Nindy's hand on the table.

"You still love your husband?" Ask Haikal.

Nindy was silent, she did not want to answer because she was worried that Haikal would get hurt even more.

"You don't have to answer, because I already know the answer".

Haikal looked at the bowed Nindy.

"Two years of time we spent together were unable to strengthen our love. The fact is you still have feelings for your husband".

"I know if you are in a dilemma right now to make a choice, you must have trouble choosing between the two of us. So let me back off, I realize that your love for me is not as great as your love for your husband".

"I'm sorry mas" Lirih Nindy.

"You don't have to apologize, maybe we are not a match" Haikal said.

"From now on I'll let you go back to be with your husband. Come back to him, because I know he loves you so much even though I'm not sure if his love is as big as my love for you".

Nindy starts sobbing, this is what she fears is hurting the heart of one of the men who loves her. Haikal was a good man and now he has hurt the man.

"Before I leave, may I ask you something?" Ask Haikal.

Nindy raised her face and looked at Haikal.

"What!" Ask.

"May I hold you one last time?" Pinta Haikal's.

Nindy nodded with tears beginning to flow.

"Of course I can. Are you going to leave without saying goodbye first" he replied.

Haikal smiled, he immediately got up and approached Nindy, while Nindy also did the same. Now the two are standing facing each other. Haikal's hand stretched out forward asking that Nindy come to his arms. Nindy who understood the meaning of Haikal immediately approached and gave a hug to the man who had now become his former lover.

"I love you so much" I'm Haikal with the voice of his gang.

"Yes, I know" Nindy replied in a hoarse-sounding tone.

Finally the love triangle found its end, Haikal chose to retreat because he realized that his position would never win from Rafael who was clearly still the legal husband of Nindy.

Flashback Off

Nindy's daydream withers away instantly as Ardi enters her room without knocking on the door first.

"The ardi!" Nindy was annoyed.

Ardi bowed to apologize.

"I'm sorry Miss Nindy, I was in such a hurry to get the important news to you that I forgot to knock on the door" Kilah Ardi said.

"What news? Have you found Rafael's whereabouts" asked Nindy.

"True ma'am, we have found the whereabouts of Mr. Rafael" replied Ardi.

"Are you serious?" Ask to make sure.

"Yes ma'am, I'm serious" Ardi said.

The smile on Nindy's lips instantly burst open, he hurried to get up and approached the assistant.

"Take me to meet him" Pinta Nindy.

"Good ma'am" Sahut Ardi.

Without waiting for long, Nindy immediately stepped out of her room. He must soon meet the man who has been missing for several days without news.

.

Ms. Linda looked at Rafael who was packing, trying to keep the son from leaving. Not enough surprise when Rafael informed about his decision to release LJ Group and also Nindy, he had to be surprised again by the decision Rafael who suddenly decided to leave his home.

"Why are you doing this, Rafa? Why you should go".

Rafael did not reply, he was still busy with the goods he was going to pack.

"Rapha!" Madam Linda pulled Rafael's hand to look at him.

"What the hell, ma" said Rafael.

"Explain to mom, why are you doing all this? Why did you make this decision without talking about it first to mama".

"There is nothing to talk about anymore ma, all this is the best way for all of us" Rafael said.

"Best for whom is Rafa? For yuu? Or for Nindy? Your decision is not the best one" Linda said.

"Have you talked about this with Nindy? Does Nindy agree with your decision?".

"He would have agreed" Sahut Rafael.

"Where do you know? Did you tell Nindy?".

"Ma!" Rafael looked at his mother.

"Please don't discuss this matter anymore" he asked.

Madam Linda was silent, she saw the wound from Rafael's eyes.

"Aren't you supposed to keep Nindy and get her back but why are you letting go?" Ask Linda again in a slower voice.

"I can't keep hold of Nindy, ma. Nindy deserves to be happy" replied Rafael.

"Well how about you baby, are you happy after you let go of your wife?".

Rafael fell silent.

"At least I didn't make Nindy suffer even more by keeping her by my side" he replied.

"If you ask me about my heart, I don't care. I no longer care about this heart and this taste anymore. For me, Nindy's happiness is far more important than my own".

"Why do you have to lie to your heart baby, you know if your heart hurts. Mama knows that you love your wife so much".

"I really love Nindy, ma. But do I have to force him to stay by my side while there are other men he loves" Rafael said in a high tone.

"I've forced him to make his life suffer and now I won't do it again. I will no longer hold Nindy to remain by my side ma, no longer will"

"Mama doesn't have to worry about my situation. I will try to make peace with this situation".

"Are you sure Nindy loves him more than you do? It's possible that Nindy's love is greater for you than that man" Linda said.

"No ma, I know that he loves that man very much. He saw that there was only one name, and that name was not my name" Rafael said.

"Know what you know about my heart!".

Rafael and Linda were shocked when they heard a voice from behind them, both looking away at someone who had just appeared from behind the door.
