The Heart that Chose

The Heart that Chose
Farewell



Today is Khalid's last day at his house, today he's leaving his house. Because all her property has been Sherina's. Last night he had not told Syafina that this morning they were leaving the house, Khalid was afraid that his wife could not sleep well because of it.


After dawn, Shafina greeted and kissed the back of her husband's hand.


"Fina, someone wants you to tell me"


"What is bang? "


"Dendi has finished taking care of all the transfer of all assets belonging to brother to Sherina. And today we're gonna leave this house, sorry brother told you arrived."


"Oh, it's okay. Then we pack. I'll go with brother anywhere".


"Later pack it up, brother wants to cook for everyone in this house. Later be afraid first bi Lastri"


"I'm helping bang"


They both went down to the kitchen and cooked together, soy sauce chicken. Saute kale, and chili sauce a simple menu cooked Khalid.


"Sir Khalid, let the aunt cook. Same mom Syafina just watch tv"


"For this time let me cook bi, it's almost done as well. Aunty just do the other one"


"Oh that, aunt nyuci only" In the heart of bi Lastri wonder why his boss arrived today to cook. Is it non-Syafina's birthday, or Mr. Khalid's own birthday.


After finishing cooking, Khalid called Mr. Udin and bi Lastri to eat together. Incidentally Linda Heru and Ridho have also come they are also invited to have breakfast together. While Fatimah's mother in the hospital awaits Sherina.


"Ehm, are we eating the same Miss Shafina and Mr Khalid too? "Ask Linda to the lastri bi sitting next to her. Linda's a little awkward having to eat with her boss. Usually the three of her Heru and Ridho eat after the boss is done.


"Today's special, even this is the boss who's cooking". Bi Lastri replied.


"Of all, we have breakfast." ordered Khalid, making all who surround the dinner table start their breakfast.


After breakfast, Khalid held everything back so as not to leave the dining table. Everyone is still around the dining table wondering what announcement to make Mr. Khalid.


"Today Shafina and I will leave this house. This house is no longer ours"


All those who were there were shocked and could not believe what they were hearing, but dared not ask what exactly was the matter. They were just waiting for Khalid to continue his words.


"All my possessions have been Sherina's, maybe you already know the problems that befell our household this late. I can't marry Sherina. I better give all the possessions I have to Sherina"


Everyone is shocked by their boss's decision, but they are also amazed and moved by Khalid's affection for his wife.


"Pardon me and Syafina if things go wrong, and if any harsh words come out of our mouths. Maybe we can still be friends."


It does not feel like Lastri drops his tears, Mr. Udin is also glassy. They were both the longest, and they both witnessed Khalid and Syafina's affection.


There was never any harsh word out of the mouth of Khalid or Syafina. Not expecting only six months together they were in the house, now they have to watch their boss leave their own house.


"i'd rather be fired than have to watch Mr. Khalid and Ms. Syafina leave this house. "bi Lastri ventured to speak on the sidelines of her cries.


"There are no harsh words from the mouths of the boss and Miss Syafina, we should apologize. Couldn't work better yet, but we're paid handsomely." Mr. Udin came to talk by holding back his cries.


"I've been paid a lot, but only a few times to support Miss Syafina. I'm the one who should apologize" said Linda, whose eyes were red.


"I've both been paid for six months. So I decided to keep Miss Syafina."


"Me too, we will go where boss and miss Syafina go, let us do our job well" Heru chimed in.


"I appreciate your decision, Heru and Ridho. If you don't continue with your duties, it doesn't matter to me either"


"Today Ridho and I will carry out our promise with Miss Syafina yesterday, we will immediately notify you if there is important information. "


Syafina felt moved to get bodyguards like Ridho and Heru who were very responsible. They even want to go where he goes.


"Thank you sir, my emm and bang Khalid should pack up. We go up first". Syafina said goodbye to her room, she did not forget to always smile at 5 former employees even though in her heart was very painful, wanted to cry.


Syafina and Khalid walked into her room, five of her former employees staring at them in amazement, still unable to believe their boss was about to leave the mansion.


In his heart Ridho and Heru promised to always protect Khalid and Shafina. They had both been paid handsomely for 6 months, which was enough to meet the needs of their daughters for a year.

"Where are we going? "


"Maybe we just contract, find a simple contract is okay, right? "


"Ehmm, bang why don't you just go home? "


"Shame on mom and dad"


"But what will you do in the village, if here you can apply for a job"


"While I can help you, papa told me once, he's tired of having to do all the work."


"Ehm if that's what you're gonna try, we're just in the village"


"Yes bang," Syafina looked at her husband. Before long they had finished packing, Khalid did not bring his suit, if it had to be a village for what expensive suit stelan.


Khalid held up the suitcase and Syafina went down the stairs. While Syafina carries a shopping bag during the holiday season which contains by those who have not been shared. The plan today will be shared all alone with his friends.


Khalid's footsteps felt heavy leaving the house not because he had to leave the luxury, but because there were so many memories of him and Syafina in the house. The house witnesses his struggle to get the love of his wife, the house is the place to go home, a warm place because it was washed up his wife was waiting for him to come home from work.


Bi lastri stands on the porch of the house, udin sir and Linda too. Heru and Ridho had already left.


"Bi, before aunt comes home please water my houseplants beside, oh yes this by by for you guys I buy vacation time. Kemaren forgot to share it. "


Syafina gave some bags of yam chips to bi Lastri and a knitting purse.


"Thank you miss" Bi Lastri accepted it with pleasure


"This knitting sling bag is for Linda's sister" she gave it to Linda, Linda accepted it with a smile.


"It's so pretty, lady, I'll wear it"


"And here's your bonus for this month, for Linda, bi Lastri and Mr. Udin" Khalid handed three envelopes to udin.


"No Khalid sir" refused, udin.


"Take it, udin sir, I don't want my gift rejected. Give it to bi Lastri and linda too. I gave you the name of the envelope"


"Alright sir" udin nodded as he received the envelope.


"If we excuse you now" said Khalid, he would not stay there for long.


"Waityou!" bi Lastri half-screeched, he ran to embrace Syafina. Lastri hugged Syafina tightly her tears dripping down Syafina's clothes, she cried a mouthful. Linda saw it with glass.


Syafina pushed a little bit of Lastri's body, she wiped the tears on her former ART's cheek.


"Bi, I didn't go far, aunty can visit me. I'm just as bang Khalid can also visit all of you. It's just you don't work with us anymore."


"Where are Miss and Mr Khalid? " ask Lastri.


"We went home, village,


Linda approached Syafina, and she hugged Syafina.


"Miss take care of my young master yes, I'll come see him later if he's born"


"Young master? "


"Yes lady, he's my young master"


"Yes I will take care of him, I will tell you if I'm the baby, don't cry. Okay?"


Linda nodded she wiped the clear water on her cheeks.


Khalid and Udin embraced, and they all shook hands.


"You guys go with what, let me drop you off" Linda offered.


"We went with Syafina's car, that was the only item I bought in Syafina's name. Besides, everything in my name belongs to Sherina. "


Linda nodded, "Let me do my last duty sir, I want to know where Miss Syafina's village is.".


"But you will have trouble finding a ride home later" replied Khalid.


"What's wrong, I can ride an ojek"


"I'll catch up on a motorcycle, Linda can go home with me. I also want to carry out my last task" said Mr. Udin.


"Okey, it's up to you." Khalid finally gave up.


Udin and Lastri helped put suitcases and other items in the car. Minutes later the car rolled away from the house, the house Khalid had built for his wife. Before getting married he had planned to take his wife later to the house and grow old together in the house. But no more than six months he was with his wife happy at home that was built with his own sweat.
