The Story of Dara

CHAPTER 96. Contrition

Dara sat pensively in front of her porch, letting the gusts of wind dry the remaining tears that had soaked her smooth cheeks.

Directing his gaze straight ahead, thinking about the problems that befell his household, trying to eliminate the pain that had spread in his heart.

While Erfan was still sitting leaning on his bed, with his blank gaze rethinking every sentence he had just said.

Can I really let go of my wife? Can I see him going with another man? all of those questions seemed to keep spinning in his head, making him even more depressed.

"Aahhhhhh" Frustrated Erfan screamed at the hair with both hands.

"Aahhh," Erfan groaned touching his injured stomach, before turning his gaze towards his mobile phone that was shaking on the nightstand.

Erfan reached out his hand, trying to grab his phone.

"Hello," Erfan replied receiving a call from Nathan.

"How are you? tonight I'm the same Clara will see you at home." Nathan's voice from inside the cell phone.

"Bad," answered Erfan flatly.

"Why? did the wound get worse?"

"When you took the test results yesterday? is there a message from Doctor Nisa for me?" erfan asked, not answering Nathan's question.

"Cindy said there's no message for you guys."

"A moment.... a moment...You said who? Cindy?" ask Erfan to make sure.

"Yes Cindy, I asked Cindy to take your test results."

"B* once you, why did you ask him to take it?" erfan's jolt surprised Nathan.

"I forgot that I had an important meeting at ten, why? what the hell is your problem? how angry is that?" nathan was confused.

"Cindy's a cunning woman, you should have told me that you can't come to the hospital!" namel Erfan is getting upset.

"Where do I know that she's a cunning woman, you're the one who b*doh! do you know that sneaky woman why you hired her in the company?"

"They asked for it, if it wasn't for Dara I would have thrown it away long ago." Erfan replied annoyed.

"Is there a problem with the test results?" ask Nathan.

"I'm troubled, do you know how depressed I am right now?"

"Can't you?" nathan was surprised.

"Have you done a retest? there might be a mistake." Nathan asked again.

"I'm too scared Than, I'm afraid I'm gonna convince myself that I'm weak." Answer Erfan lirih.

"Do you think I should give up Dara for God huh Than? maybe my wife can be happy, because God is healthy, not like me who can't give him offspring." Erfan said again.

"Crazy for you? why don't you just let Dara go for me? I'm also healthy." Nathan replied gasped at his best friend's words.

"Br*have you? do you want to take my wife?" erfan was back upset.

"Jeez...why b*doh once you are Fan...you yourself are not the one who said that you want to give up Dara? instead of you giving Dara to the God, mending you give it to me, you don't have to embarrass yourself.".

Erfan was speechless hearing every sentence that came out of his best friend's lips.

"Don't you remember how you fought for Dara? jotos at the party just because she said that Dara was her lover! and now you want to give Dara to him? just because of your weakness? Oh my God.... I didn't expect you to be Fan..." Nathan added at length.

Erfan was still silent, increasingly regretting his actions. "I was too frustrated Than, it was almost crazy to hear my own in-laws say they regretted marrying my son to me! I was compared to God, my pride was hurt, making me feel weaker as if I was a useless man in my in-laws' eyes.

"I almost wanted to call God out of my madness, and I even told my wife that God was going to pick her up." Erfan said with regret.

"It's almost, right? haven't you called the god yet?" nathan asked to make sure.

"Not yet,"

"Thank God, at least you didn't embarrass yourself in front of that man."

"But Dara is angry with me."

"Yes obviously, you think Dara is a ball, you pass here and there! if you don't want it, you can give it to me."

"Br*you are.." said Erfan to make Nathan laugh.

"Just send me a picture of your test results, I'll check it at the hospital" Nathan said.

Erfan tried to get out of bed touching his stomach which was still painful to take the test results that were still in his wife's bag.

Ckrek Erfan photographed his test results before sending them to Nathan.

Meanwhile at a cafe, Cindy was waiting for Rania at the back table on the west side of the cafe, drinking the juice she had just ordered while playing the phone in her hand.

"Sorry Cin, the road is jammed," said Rania just arrived before sitting in the chair opposite Cindy.

"Is there no problem if you're out at this hour?" ask Rania.

"Sir Erfan is on leave, not working, so it's safe." Cindy replied before taking something out of her bag.

"This is the original test result of Mr. Erfan" Cindy said again giving a white envelope with hospital envelope.

Rania takes over the envelope from Cindy's hand. "As a man you are perfect Fan" said Rania with a smile on her face reading the contents of the test of the man she loved.

"Why don't you fake Dara's test results? why the Erfan test?" rania asked curiously folding the paper she was holding before putting it back into the envelope.

"I see Mr. Erfan loves Dara very much, he must be depressed when he finds himself in trouble, because his wife really wants a child, not necessarily Dara would accept the weakness of her husband, while Mr. Erfan, who wants a child, is not necessarily also willing to accept the weakness of her husband, I'm sure I can take his wife's shortcomings."

Rania further developed her smile looking at Cindy, "You are indeed my best friend Cin, I hope to hear good news about their separation." Rania was happy.

Dara's room clock needle has pointed to the number seven, the sky is already dark with the decoration of the moonlight.

After finishing her Isya's Prayer Dara returned to the kitchen, continuing her cooking show that she had done from three in the afternoon.

Dara wants to vent her anger and disappointment in the kitchen, by cooking all the food ingredients in the refrigerator, from chicken, shrimp, meat, fish he has cooked all.

Erfan went out of the room, down the stairs looking for the whereabouts of his wife who had not yet entered the room.

Erfan's gaze fell towards the dining table, staring at the various kinds of food menus that are very abundant and abundant and neatly arranged on the dining table, before turning his eyes towards his wife who was still struggling in the kitchen.

"It's over" said Dara Lirih with a sad look at his frezeer refrigerator that looks empty.

Dara closed it off slowly before being surprised by the presence of her husband who suddenly hugged her from behind.

"Sorry," said Erfan softly in his wife's ear, making Dara glued in place.

Dara was silent, not scaring her husband's apology.

Erfan let go of his embrace, twisting his wife's body to face her.

"I'm wrong Ra, I'm sorry," said Erfan Lirih making Dara's tears back up before throwing her face to the side, avoiding her husband's gaze.

"We'd better eat now." Said Dara flatly stepping closer to the dining table.

"God has plenty of food...." Inner Dara stopped moving, as she looked at all the food on her table.

Erfan hugged his wife from behind, buried his face in his wife's shoulder,

made Dara close her eyes.

"I'm wrong Ra, I'm not supposed to let go of you, I love you, I'll do everything I can to heal, I just want to love you and live with you." Erfan's words further smooth the flow of his wife's tears.

"Mas Erfan himself made me promise, never say a word of separation when facing any problem in our household." Dara answered her tears.

"In fact you yourself deny it Mas, Mas Erfan toying with my feelings, as if I were an item that could be given and taken over as anyone who wanted me." Dara further broke her cries.

"I'm sorry, honey,..." Erfan said again increasingly tightened his embrace, closing his eyes for a moment to endure the pain in his stomach wound.

Dara wiped her tears back, letting go of her husband's embrace gently. "Sit down first Mas" said Dara helping Erfan sit on the dining table chair.

"Do you forgive me?" erfan asked after sitting on the chair staring inside his wife.

Dara nodded her head slowly, "I just want to live happily with you Mas, I will accompany Mas Erfan's struggle to heal." Dara hugged her husband.

Seriate.
