500 Million Men
Chapter 42. Too Blind


For a long time the two were silent to each other while warming through a grasp. Soon enough, the attention of the two is diverted as the meatball seller delivers the order to their table.


"It's been a while not seeing you two. How many kids are you now?" ask the meatball seller.


In the past, both of them often visited this place. So the seller was very familiar with the faces of Aldo and Sifa.


"It's still in the process stage, sir. Pray as soon as possible" said Aldo.


"Amiinu. Yes already, then please enjoy the meatballs. It will be cold" said the seller.


"Yes, sir."


Aldo blew the meat slowly, then put the food in his mouth.


"How does it feel? Is it still good?" ask the seller.


"For taste it is just a little different. This time it's more delicious," said Aldo who is good at taking the seller's heart. Sifa and the seller immediately chuckled after stinging Aldo's words.


"Yes already. Then please enjoy, you want to serve others first," he said, who then left the two people.


Sifa and Aldo ate their food in peace. Sometimes both of them throw guyonan while enjoying the bowl of meatballs.


Elsewhere, Arumi just came out of the bathroom. Dressed in a bathrobe and wrapped in a towel, the girl checked her phone. See if there's a reply to a message from Fahri. However, after seeing the screen of the phone, Arumi was quite disappointed because the man did not respond to the message.


"Huh? He didn't return my message?" muttered Arumi with a frown.


"It's hard to believe. He's ignoring me?"


"A lot of guys out there are chasing me. But, she easily ignored me just like that? Really shitty guy! If only I didn't like it, I might have made it difficult for me" grumbled Arumi who had been monologuing. The girl chose to put her cell phone away, then walked to the closet, and took her pajamas for her to wear.


....


The car that Aldo was driving arrived in front of the apartment where Sifa lived. "Be careful on the road" Sifa said as she opened her seatbelt.


Just as his hand was moved opening the door, Aldo suddenly pulled Sifa. Then then scooped the woman's jaw and kissed her lover's lips briefly.


Sifa hit Aldo's arm because of the mischievous actions of his lover. "You're the one who steals kisses from me the most" Sifa grumbled.


"Just take advantage of the opportunity a little bit" Aldo said easily.


"Yes already. Then I'll go home first. Be careful on the road" Sifa said.


"Ready, Honey."


After Sifa got out of the car, Aldo started driving. When Aldo's car had gone far enough, Sifa immediately went up to the top using the elevator.


Upon arrival at the door, Sifa entered the house access code. And then, into his dwelling.


Sifa walked towards the room. He was surprised to find Fahri who was sleeping on the mattress. The man looked very good in his sleep.


Sifa walked closer to the bed. He sat on the side of the bed. As Sifa approached, Fahri seemed to be aware of Sifa's whereabouts. The man immediately got up from his bed. Carry a pillow and roll it to get away from the place.


"Where are you going, Mom?" ask Sifa who saw Fahri leave just like that.


"If you want to sleep in the room, go to bed! I'll sleep outside" Fahri said.


"You're not working?" ask Sifa.


"Why don't you work in the office anymore?" Sifa asked again which made Fahri bored enough to answer these questions.


"I don't have to work hard anymore, because soon my responsibility to you is done. Wait until the trial, temporarily let me hitch a ride here. It won't be long, just for a moment" Fahri said.


Fahri leaves Sifa alone. While Sifa, she somehow returned to shed her tears. Even though he wanted this farewell, it was impossible for him to forget the two months they had gone through so easily.


There were times when the memories remained in his memory. Sifa looked at the door that had just closed with a blank look. His tears grew stronger with Fahri's departure.


"What's this about? Isn't this what I want? Why do I still endure the pain? I should be happy for this farewell," Sifa muttered as she held onto her chest.


On the other hand, Fahri was currently staring out the window. His mind was withering, he also remembered the memories with Sifa. If asked who was most hurt by this separation, the answer is Fahri.


This is the man who fought a lot for their marriage. Withholding all sorts of pain incised by his wife. Trying to keep her marriage.


But he chose to give up. Instead of seeing his wife increasing his sin of sleeping with another man, Fahri chose to let go of his marriage even if it was a difficult thing.


"Sifa, if you knew. My love is infinite to you. But honey, you're too stupid to notice it, too blind to see it, and too deaf to hear it" Fahri glared at the night sky.


...----------------...


The next day, Fahri was preparing to go to meet Arumi. To pick up the money that would be his. In return for her marriage to the woman.


Upon arriving there, Fahri sees Arumi who has come before him. Usually, it was Fahri who arrived first.


Today Arumi looks a little different. The girl seemed to change her originally straight hairstyle to slightly wavy. Yet, still. The beauty of Arumi can not melt the love of Fahri towards the wife, who will soon be pinned into an ex-wife.


Fahri sees that Arumi is not alone there. A handsome man who always stood by him was also in that place.


Fahri went into the restaurant, then walked to the table filled by Arumi and Samuel.


"Please sit down" said Samuel stood up and invited Fahri to sit opposite Arumi.


Fahri dropped his ass. He saw a big bag next to Arumi. The man guessed that the contents of the bag were five hundred million dollars, as promised yesterday.


Shortly after, the waiter came. Samuel quickly picked up the menu book. Because after all, that man never missed an opportunity. Fill her stomach while Arumi pays for everything.


"It's good if we fill our stomachs first before discussing the deal" Samuel said.


Arumi smiled, because Samuel was very good at reading situations. The girl thought Samuel was saying that because he supported her.


"I ordered this one, this one, and this one. Oh yeah, don't forget this one, too. " Samuel pointed to some menu for himself.


Arumi closed her eyes. Inwardly, he snorted in annoyance at Samuel's behavior.


"It seems not because it supports me, but rather that he took the opportunity in narrowness," Arumi grumbled inwardly.


"You guys, please order what you want to eat," Samuel said while giving the menu list book to Arumi.


"It looks like you need a table for yourself" Arumi said slowly. How not? The table will certainly be full of menus ordered by Samuel only.


"Good idea!" samuel said. The man pulled back the menu list in Arumi's hands, then added the food he would order again.
