The Not A Dream Marriage

Part 41 (REAL GIO)

It did not feel five days Salsa treated, his condition has gradually recovered. This afternoon, Salsa's parents came to visit. Mamah sat on the lip of the hospital bed while Papah was busy sitting on the sofa.

“Mah, have you met Reza?” salsa asked suddenly.

Mamah looked at her daughter as if she did not like the name Reza.

“What's up?” ask mamah back with as amiable an expression as possible.

“It wasn't Reza who was always waiting for me in the waiting room?”

Salsa speech this time managed to stop the activity of mamahnya who was peeling orange peel.

Reza's? How could? Even her mother never saw Reza come to see her daughter.

What kind of misunderstanding is this? Like something's not right.

Before long the door to Salsa's nursery was open. The figure they had just talked about was now standing in the doorway.

Reza walked to greet Papah and mamah Salsa alternately.

“How are you and the Reza family?” ask Papah to remove the awkwardness between them.

“Good reward. Pah, Reza's arrival here in addition to visiting Salsa there is also an important thing that I will talk to you guys.” Reza adjusted his breathing, he saw Salsa's eyeballs that began to redden slightly.

“Speak. What do you want to talk about?” papah put his ears wide and stretched out his heart to try to hear and accept all the explanations from Reza.

Sure enough, Reza began to open up and be honest about the problems that are happening to his relationship. The tightness becomes so, Reza does not care if Salsa will hate him more but the truth must be revealed soon. The mistake was not only Reza's fault but April was equally guilty. Not that Reza does not want to be responsible but Reza has been steady to choose Salsa and only Salsa will be his wife.

With all humility Reza pleaded with Salsa to keep their marriage going as it should.

He glanced at Salsa repeatedly but his lips still did not flinch no word of rejection or anything all hanging.

Mamah and Papah leave the decision entirely to Salsa because it is all about life and the future they both certainly Salsa more know which path is best.

“A—aku forgave you Ja and our marriage will continue.” Her speech.

With a heavy heart Salsa decided to resume the marriage they were going to title next week. Their time was only less than a week left to spread out wedding invitations even though for other events Reza had managed to overcome before.

All is done Reza because Reza believes Salsa will not be easy to cancel the marriage, especially the love of Salsa will never succeed to turn it into hate to Reza even if only a fingernail.

The clock is over, they're out leaving Salsa alone again. Salsa was again swept away in his mind. The hope at this time is that he will not take the wrong step.

Every afternoon Gio always routinely came to visit Salsa even though he did not enter the room. Sam and Anna are sitting in the waiting room waiting for Gio to arrive. They both intend to take Gio to see Salsa.

“Hei bro, how is it?” Sam hugged his old friend.

“Good. Why aren't you guys in?” ask Gio.

“We are waiting for you.” Said Sam while pulling Gio's arm to go with him.

There's Gio, it looks like Anna's presence was forgotten by Sam.

Anna followed these two men in the back. They entered the room where Salsa was resting. Salsa was happy finally after a while her brother and best friend appeared together.

Gio did not express anything but deep down he felt happy because of Salsa's cheerful condition.

“You're done?” Salsa asked in a loud voice.

Hah, you two are really confused.

“So that is true already or not?” ask Salsa to make sure.

Now the two are just silent to each other does not answer seems better, if answered only makes each other hurt.

Salsa switched the conversation, enthusiastically telling her what Reza had done and the decision she had taken.

Salsa does not realize that there is currently one heart that tries not to be disappointed.

The second peak was spent by two women gossiping with each other while two men were only loyal listeners. Gio really felt misplaced. Waiting in the waiting room was much better than being next to Salsa.

He could not deny his heart a little disappointed not because Salsa chose to return with Reza but he was thinking about what the fate of April ahead. Sooner or later this rumor will certainly spread because it is still unknown who the perpetrators behind this all so it is likely that the spread will be back he did.

After hours Sam and Anna leave the Hospital but not with Gio. Just like yesterday Gio was still waiting for Salsa in the waiting room.

Salsabila's last check, all have returned to normal and improved he can return home tomorrow.

How happy to hear the words of the faithful nurse accompany and examine him.

Salsa calls a nurse who every night gives a blanket to Reza aka Gio.

This time Salsa asked the nurse to drop off the blanket and she also headed for the waiting room.

“Come on Sus, deliver me too yeah? tomorrow I'm home.”pintanya.

With all due consideration, Nurse was willing to push her wheelchair and take her patients to the waiting room.

Arriving in the waiting room as usual, the nurse went inside giving the recipient a blanket every night.

***********

His body feels stiff where all he sees is the figure of Gio who looks very happy to receive a blanket given Salsa.

Is he crazy? So all this time?

Wanting to feel he ran over to hit Gio, asked what he meant by Reza. Salsa's suspicions proved to be.

Salsa noticed Reza, he looks fresh fit unlike people who look tired because all night can not sleep soundly because waiting for him.

What possible? Salsa tried to shake off her worst thoughts. He believes Reza can definitely get enough rest thanks to a blanket.

“Ja, thank you well for waiting for me every night.” Salsa was sincere.

Reza just nodded with a smile that he himself could not understand.

Why didn't he thank you for the blanket? Salsa felt like Reza was forgetting one topic that should have been the most interesting.

There is no other option Salsa tries to forget and dismiss the awkwardness that began to evaporate. Although the awkwardness re-emerged when Gio came with a neat look but with a tired face and blackened eye bags signify his lack of sleep.

What possible?

Again Salsa could only guess and decided to know directly on his last night.
