Ballad First Wife
Avoiding Raul

Elsa's body immediately tensed up. He hurriedly put down the glass and stepped closer to Salman.

"Man." call him half-whispering.

Salman looked.

"Rul." Elsa points to the guarantee where Raul is congratulating Alan and Anita.

"We're home!" Salman immediately pulled Fira's hand.

"What's up, Mom?"  Fira looks at the panicked Elsa and turns to Salman.

"Let me tell you. What's clear is we shouldn't be here right now."

Without asking much, Fira followed Salman's quick footsteps. They're headed for the parking lot. Salman opens the door for Fira while Elsa opens the back door and enters. He sat down while adjusting his breath.

"Sa, are you okay?" Fira looked up and looked at Elsa worriedly.

Elsa nodded. "I'm fine."

Salman immediately spurred his car out of Alan's reception.

Alan who had seen the departure of the three people looked confused.

Why are they in such a hurry? And Elsa? Why did Salman ask her too? What's the matter?

"Congratulations Nit." Raul hugs and hugs Anita.

"Thank you, Bang. When's brother coming? Don't be alone for long, Bang!"

"Abang is trying, soon to catch up with you."

"Mother."

Raul approached Alan."Congratuations. Nitip Anita's. If you hurt her, you'll face me."

Alan only smiled faintly as he shook Raul's hand.

After taking a picture, Raul comes down and joins Anita's family.

"Now you must tell!" Fira looked at Elsa who was in front of him and Salman who was sitting next to her alternately.

"Sa!" Salman asked Elsa to tell him.

"The man who was Ardi's birth father."

Fira surprise. He turned to Salman.

"You know why Ardi's sick? He was depressed when he found out he wasn't my son."

"Oh."

"Raul came to Ardi's school with a letter of endorsement. He showed it to the school. All of Ardi's friends became aware that Ardi wasn't my biological child so they bullied him."

"Oh pity Ardi." muttered Fira as she looked down at Elsa.

"All my fault." Elsa's voice shrieked.

"Then if he's Ardi's biological father why should we avoid him?"

"Raul doesn't know that I brought Ardi. If he finds out he'll come to Ardi again." Salman explained the reason.

"But isn't it wrong that we separate father and son?" Fira looked back at Elsa and Salman alternately.

"I don't intend to separate them. At least until Ardi's condition is good and can accept this reality. I will slowly give him understanding. You help me, baby" replied Salman and then clasped Fira's hand.

Fira nodded while returning Salman's hand.

"Ra, before I left for treatment that day, I asked you to promise me one thing." Elsa raised her face that had lowered. He looked at Fira expectantly.

Fira nodded, "Yes. I recall. "

"You promised you'd fulfill my request."

Fira nodded back. "I won't break my promise."

Salman tightened his hand. He was worried if Elsa asked for something strange.

"Sa, Fira is now my wife. Whatever he decides later must seek my approval." Salman reminds Elsa to be on guard if Elsa asks for anything unreasonable.

"I know." answered Elsa bitterly.

At first I wanted to ask you to allow me to be Salman's second wife, but seeing the strength of Salman's love for you, I would only dig my own pit of suffering if I saw your affection every day. And Ardi, he needs your promise more than I do.

"Ra, I'm picking up Ardi. Promise me you'll educate her like your own son. Even if your baby is born later, promise me you won't differentiate your treatment of Ardi. Although Ardi will be able to accept Raul, please do not give Ardi to him because I am not sure Ardi will grow well in the care of Raul and his family. Can you keep your promise first, Ra?"

Fira looked at Salman. Salman's remarks reminded her that whatever she does must seek her husband's approval.

Salman nodded.

"I promise, Sa. I promise."

"Thank you, Fir.I know you're very good. Forgive my mistake first." Elsa is crying sadly. Unbeknownst to him, blood melted from his nose.

"Sa, you're bleeding." Fira immediately took the tissue in front of her and wiped the blood coming out of Elsa's nose.

"I'm fine." Elsa takes a tissue from Fira's hand.

"We'll just go home. The night air doesn't seem good for your health." Salman stands. He reached out to help Fira.

Salman's attention to Fira did not escape Elsa's eyes.

Everything you do to her is very natural, from the heart and there is no compulsion at all. It turns out your love for her is huge, man. I'm the one who's sick here, but it's Fira you've always protected and guarded.

"Sa, these nights?" Fira does not believe Elsa's request.

"The sooner I get back to Jakarta the better. If I delay I'm afraid Raul knows where I am and thinks Ardi is here too."

"All right." Salman confirms Elsa's request.

Fira no longer said. If Salman has made a decision, then it is better for him to be quiet and to obey.

***

"Be careful. Give my regards to mom." Fira hugged Elsa.

"Yes. Nitip Ardi's." Elsa stroked Fira's back. "I'm sorry, maybe when your baby is born, I can't congratulate you." Elsa let go of her embrace. His hand stroked Fira's stomach.

You're lucky Fir, it could contain Salman's seed.

"Why is that? You should come when I give birth! I'll wait for you." Fira holds Elsa's hand.

Salman was silent about the interaction of the two women. He realized what Elsa said, different from Fira.

"Man. Thanks, and sorry." Elsa looked at Salman.

Salman nodded.

"Ra, may I hug Salman one last time?" pinta Elsa while looking at Fira's face expectantly.

"Sorry Sa, that's not good." Salman immediately replied. He knew Fira would allow Elsa's request because Fira's heart was very soft.

Elsa laughing. "Yes already. Those who wanted to be hugged turned out to be objections. I'm leaving."

Elsa waved her hand and went inside the airport to check in.

"Bag.."

"What's? You want me to be hugged by another woman? Don't expect." Salman rubbed Fira's head and grabbed his wife's shoulder and took her to their car.

"Mas. We've been gone a long time, are the kids okay?"

"They're fine." Salman showed me the video on his phone.

"This what?"

"I installed a cctv at home and I connected it to my phone. So whenever I can see things at home."

"Since when?"

Salman did not answer. He just smiled mysteriously.

"Since when?" fira wants to know.

"Secret." Salman's whisper then kissed Fira's cheek. The one who was caught even pouted annoyed.

***

In hotel.

Raul keeps watching every guest of Alan. He was looking for a familiar figure. But until the show ended, he did not find either Salman or Elsa.

"Did they both not come? Isn't it from the info I got, Anita's husband is their schoolmate."

Raul then approached Alan who was sitting entertaining Anita's family. It's been down from the sewer.

"It was a very festive party. You seem to be inviting all your friends." Raul sat down next to Alan.

"Not everyone. Just my best friend."

Are the two of them not Alan's best friends so they're not invited? Is the information that says they are friendly is wrong. I guess I should ask Alan.

"Do you know Salman?"

Alan was shocked when Raul mentioned Salman's name.

Was Salman in a hurry to leave earlier because he saw this man? Inner Alan.

"Which salman?"

"The Salman, who owns a publishing company. Husband Elsa. Uh Elsa's ex-husband. Aren't you guys friends in school?"

"Oh, that Salman. Yes, I know him." Alan answered just that.

"Don't you invite them both."

"I invited them."

"But why didn't they come?'

"They came earlier. But go straight back to Jakarta like that." Alan replied lying. He felt something strange as Raul kept asking for information about Salman.

What's going on between them? I'll call Salman after this.
