"Stop!!" nando shouted as he passed by pedestrians who happened to be crossing the zebra cross as the red light flashed. Of course Sofia flinched over it. It was only a moment ago that her husband was acting spoiled, now it had turned frantic like a chick lost its mother.
"Mas..where are you going?" sofia choked when her husband had opened the car door and ran over to a woman walking among other pedestrians. The handsome man pulled his hand and forced him to come to the side of the road.
"Fernando." The woman's words were loud enough that Sofia who was right behind Nando could hear her. The doctor's eyes fiddled, trying to figure out who the woman was dressed in shabby and pathetic clothes with the woven hat that her husband pulled.
"Emma...are you..are you still alive??" it felt like Sofia's knee was squeezing. Emma's? isn't that Emma smith? The woman was her husband's ex-wife who had not even been divorced because she was claimed to have died.
Again and again Sofia was stunned when her husband had embraced and smelled the woman's forehead with all his longing. And the woman.he also hugged Fernando no less than his message. There was a pain in the corner of Sofia's heart.
"You.why are you like this baby. What.what happened to you?" ask Nando. Darling?? Nando even pinned the call on his ex-wife. Just hearing it made Sofia nauseous.
"the story is long Fer. I.." and that woman named Emma was crying. Nando, who doesn't want to be a street user, takes Emma to his car. The man was so shocked when he realized Sofia was already behind him as he turned around.
"Sofia.aku.ahh..ayo to the car." said Nando who immediately took Emma to the car, leaving Sofia who was staring at him gently. The young woman bit her lips. Keep him from shaking. Even her husband also ignored her and placed more importance on the woman than on her.
"Sofia come!!" nando shouted among the noise of the traffic. Sofia sighed then approached and entered the car on Nando's left side.
"I'm sorry Fer.all this is my fault." lamented the woman. Nando who was originally a man who did not like dirty things became changed to forget his habit by hugging Emma tightly. The smell of the woman's sweat, which somehow did not last long, was gone with her longing.
"Stop there." Nando pointed to the hotel he was going to visit with Sofia. They went down three and checked this.
"Band. I've ordered you clothes and food" said Nando softly. Emma nodded, carrying the paper bag towards the bathroom.
The gaze of Nando who had originally noticed Emma turned to Sofia who was also still standing waiting for her.
"Take the madam home" she ordered firmly to the bodyguards who followed them. Sofia who wanted to protest stopped when the door to the room was suddenly locked. He wanted to knock, but the tears were about to fall. She's an educated woman who knows enough how to behave and carry herself. But does all that apply if her husband is alone in a hotel room with his ex-wife? heart raging.
"Let's madam." take the bodyguard politely. Sofia was forced to step ahead of him, not wanting to fight in public even though she had full rights to it. He'll wait for Nando to come home and talk to him.
"Where is Rafa Fi?" asked her mother as soon as she appeared on the doorstep alone. Sofia tried to smile. He didn't want his parents to worry.
"Mas Nando met his business partner ma'am, maybe went home a little late" he said. Ms. Arif then handed Rafa who had fallen asleep to Sofia who immediately accepted and kissed her lovingly. His tears poured down the cheeks of the son. He hurriedly covered her without a word. He looked at the puffed up boy while stroking his stomach which was still flat. His crying broke again to sleep because he was tired of mourning life.
The sound of a cell phone rang, resuscitating Sofia from the pain of her heart. There was a slight sense of relief at seeing who the caller was. Bella´s.
"Sister how are you? So go home tomorrow, right? the day after we go to Elle and Aling's school. There's an event there." Cerocos the sister-in-law made Sofia's crying again broke even though held back. But Bella is a sensitive person.
"What's wrong with you, brother? You had a fight with Nando's brother? Sis..answer me!!" bella insisted. She knew something was wrong with her sister.
"Emma? what's wrong with her, brother?"
"He is alive and Nando is with him." Sofia told him about their meeting on the street. Bella was silent listening to every sentence that slid from Sofia's lips meticulously.
"This is all impossible brother. Obviously I saw Emma buried. Even though her face was ruined I could tell she was Emma. There's no way that the dead can live anymore." he sis Bella thought hard.
"Don't think too much. Remember your babies. I'll talk to mom and sister Karin."
"Don't Bell." stop Sofia, but it's too late. Bella's already closed her call. I tried to call a few times, but the number was always busy. Maybe Bella actually called her in-laws. Sofia sighed in annoyance. If he hadn't told everything to the brother-in-law....
It was almost midnight when the sound of footsteps approached his room. Sofia immediately sat down and stood up from her bed. Right, the door opened, displaying the figure of Nando standing there.
"I'm sorry for foiling our Sofia plan. This is all outside my plan. I'm afraid El's looking for you." Lirih Nando flat. There is no remorse there.
"When did El look for me? or maybe this is just your excuse to be alone with your ex-wife?" reply Sofia smooth yet piercing. Nando's face flushed.
"She's still my wife. We're not divorced yet." he said with a strong angry accent. It's been too long that even Sofia has never seen Nando this angry at her.
"I'm sorry if I forgot to marry someone's husband." Sofia said spicyly. Her heart was already too sore because it was ignored Moreover, the pregnancy hormone greatly affected her emotions to rise and fall uncontrollably.
"It's time you learned to share Sofia's husband." her his hisses made Sofia's face harden. Approaching the man.
"From the beginning I told you I don't like sharing husbands."
"But you're the second person in our marriage Sofia."
"I entered your life also because of your compulsion."
"forced? ha...ha..isn't it you who fell in love? and I. This lonely me fell in your entrapment, doctor." Sofia. His self-esteem is broken. Is this the kind of Fernando he's admired all along?
"Do you still love her?" soft Sofia with a trembling voice. Nando looked down at him.
"Very. Until anytime he will not be replaced by anyone" he said firmly. Sofia freezes. If she knew that Emma did not really die.It is better to be a spinster than to be pitted and have the status of actor like her now.
"Then let me go." lunglai. Weak and almost giving up, that was what Sofia felt at the moment.
"Tonight I'll accompany Emma at the hotel. Tomorrow you can go home with the troupe because I'm going home with Emma. There are some things we have to take care of. Go home or I'll embarrass your parents tomorrow morning." threatened Nando before walking straight away from his room.
