Between Me, You, And The Past
Among the 2 Choices

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

It took about 1 hour for those who were inside this room to fall silent to each other. There is no sign of any sentence spoken by either Farzan or Nasha. Nasha let out a tired breath and lowered her ego to ask again.

“So what is the offer?” nasha ketus.

“Ekhem..” cleared his throat briefly then Farzan continued his words.

“I have 2 options now, and you can choose one of them,” said Farzan gave a short pause. He soon continued his words

“First, So my temporary wife ..” before Farzan finished with his words, now Nasha interrupts him.

“Actually want Father what HAH?! I told you I'm not that kind of person. What is still unclear too!” said Nasha with a little emphasis on some of her sentences.

“Sstt.. quiet Arfa. I still have an offer, right? And again I never think like you think it is, so do not accuse like that,” said Farzan who still remained calm.

“Oke now switch to second offer. And it looks like you will choose this offer,” Farzan continued back and continued it a few seconds later.

“Second offer. You can fire 100 people from this company. It is up to any part and anyone. I will fire him right now. Looks like here need some more competent new employees, right?” farzan continued with his grin. Seeing Nasha who was surprised to hear the offer earlier, Farzan cheered happily because his plan would soon be achieved.

“Two days know you I know your nature. You will not be that hard to let others accept the consequences of what you do. And it becomes a profitable weakness,” Inner Farzan.

“Why the choice is harder. Was he on purpose? But this is not the time to think about it, now what should I choose? They don't have any faults and they're so good that there are people who don't like me a bit, but that's no excuse. They have no fault whatsoever. How's this?” inner Nasha worried.

“Is there no other option Sir?” said Nasha who was not as old as before. Even his voice this time seemed to be begging for a better choice between the two options.

“There. Last offer. Let me come to your house and tell both your parents if you work in this company as an office girl since 2 years ago without telling them. How?” said Farzan who made Nasha's face pale. Even now Nasha's entire body shook strongly from being too scared.

“Ba like .. hm huh .. how do you know this?” said Nasha with a tone that was so obvious she was scared but tried to cover it up. Farzan had real pity but he also had no other choice, he needed Nasha's help, even with this kind of compulsion.

“Why do I feel like this? As if my heart felt the pain she felt? This is not true, I cannot be like this, do not disappoint him, the inner” Farzan commemorates himself.

“Hem... I can get any information so easily,” except about him, he continued inwardly.

“How so? What's your choice?” urged Farzan because it was almost hours home from work, and he had a small celebration because of the success of Nasha. Without Nasha's knowledge.

“How now? What should I choose? All of those choices are hard. Can't you reduce this burden? Too heavy for me. Can you step back and run from responsibility? No. gabe. No. gabe. You can definitely get through this. Don't despair. You've always been strong. We try to give some lightening time to give a little distance so that I can think more clearly and choose appropriately. Okay. We try,” Nasha muttered inwardly.

“Mm.. Can I think about it first? At least until tomorrow, how?” nasha asked carefully so that her request could be followed.

“I want the answer 1 hour from now. Decision's final. And you can get out of this room temporarily, and come back here 1 hour to come,” break up Farzan final and do not want to be denied. He doesn't want to wait anymore. There are too many threats.

“Good. Excuse me to the pantry first,” said Nasha in the end. At least he can still look for clues even for a moment. And he went there because there was one room that could be used for prayer.

Farzan did the same. Although his nature is like that he also always improve himself so that he can quickly be reunited with someone in his past. Although it looks authoritarian. Actually he's a guy who never even touched liquor or anything else that's forbidden by religion. Just this one business alone might be his silliest decision. Plans that hurt others.

“Punish the servant O Allah, I know that what I am doing now is not to be forgiven, but I have no other way out, I am too tired of all this, forgive me,” Farzan prayer after finished with his prayer and dhikr.

What Nasha did was also almost similar, the difference is that she is now asking for the right instructions for her so as not to misstep. It's all hard, but there's definitely an easier way out.

“Hopefully my decision this time is not wrong, no matter what happens I accept all the consequences,” Inner Nasha.

After remaining silent during the time given by Farzan, Nasha's heart beat irregularly because it was so afraid. Even his chest felt in a strong squeeze by a tool so tight. As hard as it is, humans must have a weak point too, right? So Nasha too, trying not to cry but tears have since just slid, even without being accompanied by a sob. But a stifled cry like this felt even more painful.

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

Time to go back to Farzan's room now. And Nasha refused to go in there. Too scared and stifling. But there's no other choice. The responsibility cannot be simply left

“Bismilbornrahmanirrahim,” muttered Nasha before knocking on the door.

Tok..

After a voice came in, Nasha opened the door and walked over to sit in front of Farzan again.

“How are you doing?” farzan asked directly because he did not want to delay the time continuously. There was a sigh from Nasha before she answered.

“I decided to choose the first offer. But I have a condition for that,” he said directly because he did not want too much drama after that. Farzan frowned, but he replied.

“Alright, I appreciate it, so what's the terms?” farzan said afterwards. Nasha had thought there would be a further drama from her statement, but it turned out that she was wrong, Farzan made things easier.

“First, I want you to ask my parents directly about this and let them answer their decision. And you can't refuse any answer that came out of my parents' mouths,” pause for a while, before Nasha continued her words.

“And the second. For me, marriage is a once in a lifetime. As the father said earlier if this lasts a while according to the Father, but in my opinion not. I don't want it, but I don't want a split word. Whatever happens. Even if it involves the person you are looking for who you really want to be your companion, let me stay with my status in front of my parents. If it's for a business associate or whoever it is, let them just know your companion is that person. If it is time for me to get out of the house myself, but if later I need a play in front of my parents, I ask for help. And lastly, I want to continue my studies, I ask permission not to ask you to finance it, I still have savings for it, I just don't want if after marriage I am not allowed to continue college, I just don't want to,” continued Nasha at the same time ending the conditions he submitted.

“I'm sorry Brother, I can't keep my promise. I always pray that Brother will get happiness with whoever it is not with me,” Nasha murmured in heart.
