Ballad First Wife
The Past Part 2

Salman is already lulled in a dream but Fira is still awake. Many times Fira turned her body back.

Ck. He's sleeping again. I still wonder what the next story is. Is it built, huh? But if you wake up and ask for more power, I am also tired. He is a lot of mode. His mind is always there to achieve his wishes.

"Ah, just get out. Thirsty too" Fira muttered. He got down and walked out to the kitchen. Fira walked lazily. Just a few steps away, he squeaked in surprise when he saw someone curled up in a corner of the living room.

"Who?!" ask Fira a little scared.

There's no answer. Fira gulped to relieve her heart tension.

Who her? Ryan or Ardi. Where the light is dim again.

"Ryan?!" Fira slowly approached with a cautious attitude.

"Hiks.hiks.."

Uh the crying sound.

"The ardi? You Ardi?" Fira immediately approached the curled body as soon as he could recognize it.

"Darling, what's wrong?" Fira crouched down and touched Ardi's shoulder.

Ardi brushed off Fira's hand. "Sway from me!"

Wha what??He rejected me again.

Fira was silent.

"I've cleaned up !" another voice sounded.

Fira looked up and she saw Ryan.

"Mother." Ryan's voice shook.

Ardi woke up and immediately ran to his room making Fira confused.

Fira looked back at Ryan.

"Ryan, can you explain what's going on!" fira's voice was firm.

Ryan took a breath.

"Mother, Ryan is sorry. Ryan promised Ardi wouldn't tell. If you want to know, Mommy can ask Ardi." replied Ryan then turned his body and went into the room.

What's the matter? Why are their attitudes strange.

Fira twitched her throbbing temple at the thought of Ardi's change in attitude. He then proceeded to the kitchen for a drink.

In room

Salman woke up as he felt an empty spot next to him.

Where's Fira.

Salman got up and sat down as fast as he went down and checked the bathroom looking for Fira.

Where's she.

Salman opened the door about to exit but was shocked when Fira was already standing in front of their bedroom door.

"Where are you going?"

"Eh, I should be the one. Where'd you come from?"

"Drink into the kitchen. What's up?"

"No papa."

Salman pulls Fira's hand in.

"Come in! Keep me asleep and don't leave me again!"

Fira's in. Salman closed and locked the door.

Fira threw her body on the bed while exhaling a long breath.

"What's wrong?" Salman lay down next to Fira.

"Ary."

"What's wrong with Ardi? Is he back on his feet?" Salman moved his head to Fira's lap.

"Not only is his attitude strange. Ryan too. They both seem to be hiding something from us." Fira rubbed Salman's head gently.

"Leave it first. I'll find out later. If he doesn't want to tell you don't be forced. Let's just observe." Salman caught Fira's hand and grabbed it.

"Congratulations?" ask Salman.

Fira shakes.

A typical smile rose on Salman's lips looking at Fira's answer. He immediately woke up.

"Do you want to sleep?" Salman lowered his eyebrows.

"No. I couldn't sleep because I was curious about the story. The existence of Ardi. Let's tell you again."

"But baby..."

"Don't say lowbat and ask for a charge again! This power bank is also lowbat. If you ask for a charge, tomorrow fasting a week. I have to charge it to full. Want some?!" cut Fira before Salman issues his mode.

Salman pouting. His lips tightly shut. His eyes glared sharply but long ago.

"Honey. Cruelest. Look at this!" Salman pointed to the part of his body that was ready to fight.

"Bodo ah!" Fira immediately laid down her body and pulled the blanket up to the neck.

"Dear." Salman whining. He shakes Fira's shoulder.

Fira flinching.

Salman is out of his mind. He doesn't usually lose.

Salmana was lying down while hugging Fira from behind. He glued his whole body and sniffed Fira's neck.

Fira persists.

I should be able to.

Fira strengthened her resolve.

Hm. How capable you are of withstanding my attacks, dear, while I know your weak points.

Seeing Fira flinch without reaction, Salman did not despair. He continues to explore Fira's weaknesses.

"You cheated." shrieked Fira as she spread her body welcoming the triumphant smiling Salman.

"After this I will continue my story. So you won't lose either, dear."

Fira pursed his lips back.Salman just laughed enjoying his victory.

An hour later the two lay hugging.

"Time to keep your promise." Fira pinched Salman's stomach.

"What I'm going to tell you is what I know. Detailed events only Elsa can tell."

"After passing S1, Elsa's family collected my promise. I was reluctant because I felt I didn't. I finally decided to get engaged first because I wanted to continue S2. Elsa agrees to it even though her family is against."

"Because the decision to get married is in our hands so they ultimately obey our will. I'm relieved to be able to delay time for two, three more years."

"Leaving S2 I was struck by the news that made my dreams crumble." Salman then kept silent not continuing his story. His hands clenched tightly Fira's body as if afraid of losing his wife.

"What news?" Fira asked as she could not wait for Salman to return.

"Well guess what the news is about?" ask Salman again.

"Eh, how do I know."

"You know. Very know." Salman tilted his body. He lifted Fira's chin so that their eyes could look.

"Try counting. From the year we graduated, then I attended S1 for four years, continuing S2 for two years. So the sixth year after we graduated, there was an event that brought me back down because my hopes ran aground for the second time."

"Sixth year." muttered Fira while trying to remember.

The sixth year is the year I got married. Is my marriage what he meant.

"My wedding." guess Fira in a soft voice.

"You're right. Your marriage. I was still hoping to have you when I found out you guys had nothing to do."

"I'm planning on solving my problem with Elsa just when I come to you."

"Year six, Mas hasn't.married Elsa?"

Salman shakes.

"But I got word from Elsa that you were married when you graduated from college. Even Elsa sent you your wedding photos. That's why I accepted Mas Andre." Fira explained.

Salman kissed Fira.

"Indeed, our path must be winding. I'll continue."

"Heard you were married, my hopes were dashed. When Elsa's family came back, I also agreed. We're finally married."

Salman took a breath. The pain he had once felt, burst out. Salman is holding Fira close.

"Don't go again." whispered Salman.

"Mas, where can I go? In my body is the fruit of our love." Fira replied as she wrapped her arms around Salman.

"The ardi?" Fira reminded that Salman has not told Ardi about it.

"Arm. Ardi could be there because of my mistake too. I can't deny that. Despite my status as Elsa's husband, I still find it hard to forget you. Our first night took place under my consciousness."

"meaning? She drunk?"

"Eitherway. I don't drink but I'm lost consciousness. I don't remember what I did. Vaguer. All I know is, after waking up and coming to my senses, I saw Elsa in my arms."

"The following days I busied myself with work. Opening a new business. Because of that busyness, a little bit I can distract me from remembering you. I even neglected Elsa. I went to England to open a business there."

"Elsa coming?"

"No. But once he visited me. That's where he met Raul. At a banquet with my co-workers."

"After meeting Raul, Elsa rarely contacted me. I don't blame that. Even I feel calm. Until one day, when I came home, I was greeted with joy. Everyone congratulated me."

"I was confused, even so I welcomed their words. Later that night, Elsa makes a confession. That she's pregnant with Raul's child but Raul doesn't want to take responsibility."

"Mas must have been very sick." murmured Fira. He imagined the pain he felt when he knew Andre was cheating.

"More to feel humiliated than hurt. I have no feelings for Elsa, but I am a husband and a man. My pride is like being stepped on."

"Then?"

"I originally wanted to divorce her but when her mother asked me to take her to the womb, I was told by the doctor that Elsa's pregnancy could not continue. It had to be removed because it put Elsa's life at risk."

"Oh!"

"Elsa kekeh defended it. He said that he would not commit any more sins by killing his own son. She also said she was willing to die for the baby's life."

"Looking at her determination, I held back from divorcing her. It's the same for me. Even though I am divorced, I will not be able to achieve my dreams. Ye. So I accepted Elsa and her son."

"During her pregnancy, Elsa suffered greatly. He fought against his illness and kept his body. Until Ardi was born. Elsa's condition is starting to stabilize. He had to go through treatment. His life depends on drugs."

"I kept her company while taking care of Ardi. An outsider who sees me will judge me as a faithful husband and love his wife very much. Our relationship is not like that."

"When I met you guys first, I saw your affection." murmured Fira.

Salman smiled. "The pretenses we were showing. I love Elsa but I don't love her. I promised myself to support him through difficult times. That's all I can do. His affair with Raul, also because of my indifference to him."

"Huh.so that's the story. Already satisfied?!"Salman breathed a sigh of relief.

Fira nodded.

"Mas, why do I feel so guilty about Elsa? I also feel guilty for what happened to Anita." murmured Fira lirih.

"Don't blame yourself. We were wrong. Me and Alan were wrong." Salman peaked Fira's head.

"Didn't you also have a hard time with Andre?"

"Mas Salman knows?" Fira.

"Know. I'm always watching you" Salman said, ending with a kiss on Fira's forehead.

"Why am I weak?" Salman dropped his body to the side.

"Mas, aren't you papa?" ask Fira worriedly. He woke up and examined Salman.

Salman looked at Fira sayu, "Dear help me!" he groaned while grimacing.

"Mas. Mas why? What can I help you with?" Fira was getting anxious because Salman looked increasingly limp.

Salman glanced at Fira's panicked face.

Honey, why are you so easily seduced. Makes me addicted to teasing you.

"Please, my breath is tight. It seems like my heart is in trouble." Salman said stammered. His hand touched his left chest.

"Have you hurt? Do I need to take medication?"

Salman shakes. He then grabbed Fira's nape and pulled her up close to their faces.

"I don't need medicine. Accounts just need artificial breath."

Finished saying, Salman pressed Fira's nape until their lips clashed. Fira's eyes bully because again he was bullied by Salman.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The author apologizes if the up is late because it is worth the time with real-world work that is old.

Hopefully entertained.

Don't forget to give spirit!
