Who You Choose, My Husband

14. Who You Choose My Husband

"Jeez ... Why do you love to cry?!!"

Arsy jumped in shock at the screeches of the strange man who was already wearing the hospital patient's clothes. Earlier, while still in the treatment room, the man was still wearing a shirt that was dirty and unfit to wear due to blood stains.

"Astaghfiullah!!! Why is it that every time I cry there is always you?!!" Arsy was suddenly upset. Her tears were about to leave. 

"Don't make yourself drag on in grief. Love yourself" said Jo, making Arsy's footsteps stop. 

Then Arsy turned to face Jo. For a while the two's gazes met, Arsy first decided on the view. "Sorry, sir. Housekeeping is not as easy as you say. There is a sacred promise that must be grasped firmly between husband and wife." Arsy leaves Jo but his steps stop when he hears Jo's screams again.

"Hey.. Once again we meet, as if you've had a bath and haven't cried."

Without turning back, Arsy's eyes glared at Jo's screams. Geez, how embarrassed Arsy is right now because he has not taken a shower. He immediately went down to the ground floor, he had to go home first to clean himself and change clothes.

Haris had breakfast sitting next to Laila's gurney. While the three middle-aged mothers were sitting on the floor with fur carpets. 

Haris himself seemed to be unfeeling and silent, making Laila realize this. 

"Go and find Arsy, mas."

Haris straightened his head to look at Laila then turned to look at the three middle-aged mothers, then shook his head. Though, his heart was completely unsettled thinking about Arsy out there. He was sure that his wife was crying because of him.

"I'm okay, mom. There are mama and mama who accompany me" said Laila despite actually wanting Haris to be by her side at all times. He did not want Haris' body with him, but Haris' heart and mind were outside thinking about Arsy. 

Haris looked at Laila closely. Then move on, put the remaining breakfast a lot. He left the room without saying anything to Laila and the three mothers.

Laila stared at Haris' departure, hoping her husband turned around and said something. Turns out, Haris just left. 

Is this what Haris calls love?

Laila or Arsy?

****

Haris looks for Arsy in the hospital garden, no woman looks like his first wife. One thing he was upset about from Arsy, often left the phone. Not only this time, before marrying Laila also Arsy used to leave the phone. 

Feeling frustrated not to find Arsy in the hospital area, Haris decided to look out. He was heading to his car in the parking lot. Slowly search for Arsy along the way. However, he still did not find his first wife.

"Sorry, mas. Sorry, Arsy." 

Finally, Haris decided to go home. I wish Arsy was there.

A few moments later Haris' car arrived home. He entered the house, looking for the whereabouts of his wife. However, Arsy was not seen in the house.

****

While Arsy is confused about what to go home with because his phone and money are not there, at this time.

Tin.. Tin..

Arsy slowed down as the car beside him drove slowly and turned on the horn.

"Hey!!" the strangulation of a man made Arsy stop walking and turn his head towards the man.

Arsy remembers, the man who came to see Jo. "Sorry, what's wrong?"

"Fine. I don't want to see Jo angry."
