A Little Hope For Ashma
48. Buildings without foundation

Ashma sighed heavily, she waited for Adam's return at what time he would arrive but Ashma was impatient,

He waited in front of the terrace while looking at the beautiful scenery in front of this small, very quiet house.

He thought about everything that had happened lately to him, there were many things that were unexpected and he had never thought of getting this far.

Ashma stared at her growing belly, she had already decided to be patient and wait again, until their separation had actually happened and until that day came she would not glance back again.

Ashma knew that even though she tried to be strong and look okay, it was not enough to relieve her loneliness.

Ashma also knew Adam was always with her, her body, she also gave attention and took good care of her but Ashma never got satisfaction for all her gifts, he doesn't need such compassion he just wants to be loved by Adam just wants to be loved sincerely.

Their marriage worship from the beginning was not in line, the foundation that was being built from the beginning never wanted to stand because the support could never be resolved to make, it was the parable of their marriage.

Ashma had to admit that she was too naive to expect genuine love from Adam, she was indeed that naive, but for God's sake she was trying to cultivate Adam's feelings for him. Ashma never forgot to ask the almighty for the good of her marriage, she kept trying. I don't know what the ending will be like, but Ashma always believes that God's destiny is better than all the plans he made, it will certainly be very beautiful.

“Five months,” his whisky on the bright sky that blinds his eyes.

He recalled the first time he met Adam, never expecting the cold-faced man he had met on the plane at that time with all his turmoil turned out to be the way God brought them together.

Adam is now a part of Ashma's destiny, so how could Ashma just give up on Adam. No, that's the answer. He will try to crack down on the stubbornness of the man against the pseudo-love of the Woman who does not want him, for the sake of the Lord Ashma will do all he can, about the result let God determine.

“Nona..”

A sizable baritone voice releases Ashma from her reverie. Jhon stood between the stairs with a face slightly guessing what was wrong with Nonanya.

“Ah sorry Jhon.” He said with a slight bow because the man's eyes saw him so intensely, Ashma was just trying to keep his eyes on him.

“Are you okay Miss?” jhon asked worriedly, he called Ashma's name but she was too cool to play with her own mind so she did not hear her voice calling.

Ashma shook her head small with a thin smile. “ I'm fine, just just got carried away by this incredible sight.”

Jhon breathed a sigh of relief, after which he did not want to ask the others. His arrival was to retrieve the files in Adam's study.

“Sorry Miss, I would like to ask permission for the lady to retrieve the file in master Adam's workspace,” She said asking for permission, Ashma immediately gave her a way.

“Ya, please Jhon.”

Jhon moved from his place to enter Adam's workspace, he took the papers for his work.

Before returning to his place, Jhon thought for a moment about Ashma. Nona seemed not excited, Jhon thought Adam made his heart chaotic again in the midst of his departure.

Actually this is really not her realm but seeing a woman as good as Ashma continue to be depressed like that where could she let him be.

John stepped his foot out of Adam's study, his eyes fixed on Ashma. Jhon still felt the look of that sad face.

“I'm done taking the file miss, so thank you,” Ashma gave a small nod she was thinking about what she wanted to ask Jhon but Ashma hesitated.

“Looks like miss wants to say something?” guess what, Jhon thinks it's like that.

Ashma blinked her eyes, Jhon seemed to be reading her guts. “Hmm, yes. If it doesn't make your work interrupted because of me.”

Jhon immediately shook his head, where maybe he rejected this opportunity, “ no, I have free time. So what do you want to ask?”

Ashma twisted the tip of her hijab, she seemed hesitant but curious if not asked.

“It-about my husband.” He said subtly to make Jhon amused to hear the word confession of a husband like Adam from a wife as good as Ashma.

“Of course, I will listen or maybe answer what the lady wants to ask.” John published a smile.

Ashma saw their chatting atmosphere that was a little uncomfortable, so Ashma asked Jhon to sit across the table that became the barrier between them.

Jhon also followed Ashma's generosity, he sat quietly and a bit of a feeling of happiness.

Ashma took air to breathe, she was a little unsure but still wanted to ask.

“It's about him, I just hope you'll tell me a little. Maybe this seems inappropriate but I can never understand the contents of Adam's head or his feelings.” It was a poor remark that he managed to make to Jhon, Adam's bodyguard and somehow Ashma was eager to ask him.

“If that's what Miss wants then I'll tell you a little, nothing more and let it be your personal affair.” He said he still put his politeness.

Ashma certainly understood, she thanked him, at least Jhon had proven that he held his loyalty to Adam.

“So what do you want Miss to ask?”

“Actually this is just an unimportant question but I need an answer from another point of view,” He said with a serious face.

“Jhon do you think Adam really loved Lily?”

John chuckles softly, “He loves him very much but he is a man who has feelings for his own half-sister and I think it is inappropriate. In short his love clapped one hand.” Jhon was so sad when he said that fact.

Ashma looks like she has hope, she wonders in her does she still have hope?

Jhon saw Ashma's slightly discouraged look on the face, “Does anyone want to give up just like that to shift Miss Liliy's position in her heart? Besides, I don't think they'll ever be together, because Lily already has a husband. Isn't that included in the affair?"

Ashma fell silent, Jhon's words were right. He was too ignorant of the truth even though he had also sinned because he let it.

"Oh Allah.." - She looked down with a grim face.

Jhon rose from his seat and said to Ashma to return to his place.

"But if Miss wants to give up, I can help Miss escape. It's just that it's not a good decision for the current situation. Miss must know that Miss's life is under threat so I hope Miss can hold on any minute." It was the last words from Jhon before he left to return to his study.

Ashma certainly will not be rash again in acting, this is also for the safety of her unborn child, for the sake of the prospective baby she will try to survive.

...•••...

"It sucks!"

Lily throws her cell phone on the bed, she's so upset with Adam. The man made it even more difficult now to meet with Edward, it was all because his bodyguard Jhon was replaced with another bodyguard who was more indifferent than Jhon, Lily was sick of seeing Gerald the arrogant bodyguard's face.

He had no wiggle room to meet Edward because of Gerald, and he was so angry at Adam that he called back emotionally.

Amidst the turmoil of his emotions that suddenly Lily's phone rang, there was a phone coming in from Edward just as Lily picked it up.

"Hallo Ed," he said with a parched face.

"Baby are you okay? Your breath sounds irregular." asked Edward from behind the phone with an anxious look on his face.

Lily sighed heavily, "no Ed. I'm not good, it's all because of Adam!"

Edward pulled his forehead until it wrinkled. "What's he doing?" edward's tone of voice turned cold.

"He replaced Jhon with another bodyguard. My wiggle room to meet you is getting harder Ed!" His grunts are so upset.

Edward swooped a smile behind the phone, "are you angry just because it's baby?"

Lily scrunched her forehead confused, "of course Ed, can't we meet again?"

Edward laughed off it made Lily confused and annoyed. "What's Ed, don't you piss me off!"

Edward stopped laughing he refocused on his conversation with Lily. "You just need to calm down and wait baby, we'll always be able to meet."

Lily ber oh ria, "really? Is that easy for you?" Lily underestimated Edward.

"There are many roads to Rome, baby!" He said with complete confidence.

Lily clucked in annoyance, "huh I forgot that you're a smart guy."

"Sure." (Sure)

"Stay calm my Lily, you don't have to worry about not being able to see your husband again, because that's never going to let happen!" Edward was so confident and Lily loved his courage and self-confidence.
