ENDLESS HALLWAY
Chapter 101: HARD-HEARTED

Means that all that time Balqis was still a virgin of her chastity that took only one Cevin. How strange the life of Balqis after conceiving his son Cevin he then married Sigit who due to an accident was unable to do as a normal man. So who is really guilty of this? Ranti could not find the answer. For a moment they were pensive with each other. Mutually raging in their minds various thoughts. But their berserk are not the same. And a beautiful woman was already standing in the doorway. Ranti looked at the presence of the woman. She was blindfolded when she found out that the person sitting in the guest chair was Ranti.

"Good night, Qis. Just got home from work?" rati SAPa.

Balqis nodded as she stepped in. Then she sat down to accompany Ranti in the guest chair. Restless and nervous it seems. While Sigit rolled his wheelchair into the inner room. Ranti stared deeply at Balqis moody face.

Fidgety...!!!

"Where do you work now?" ask Ranti lirih. He feared his question until Sigit heard.

Balqis just shook her head. Both eyes glazed.

"You haven't got a job?"

Ask Ranti.

Smell again.

"I'm looking for a job?"

Ask Randy again.

Still shaking.

Ranti took a heavy breath. The walls of his heart were touched with compassion on this woman whose life was full of turmoil. He took a long breath.

"You came here for Cevin?"

Ask Balqis.

"Yes." Yeah."

Reply Ranti.

"Tell him, forget me."

Balqis.

"But he's expecting you."

Ranti.

"Now, of course, you already know my true condition, right? And there's no way I'm leaving my husband in need of loving care."

Balqis.

"I know."

Reply Ranti.

"I don't want to ruin the happiness of others."

Balqis.

"But you don't know Cevin's situation."

Ranti.

"I don't want to know how she is."

Balqis Reply.

"So you really want to forget it?"

Ask Ranti.

Rosalina nodded.

"Keep about the baby in your womb?"

Ask Randy back.

"She's my one-on-one wish in old age. Even if what happened, I don't care. Because I want this kid."

Balqis lirih.

"Okey, if you insist on forgetting Cevin, I can't force you. But what about your living expenses? If you don't work."

Reply Ranti asked.

"I have my own way, Ranti. That's why you don't think about me too much. Surely there are many other things you need to think about for your life."

Balqis lirih.

Ranti watched Balqis who was looking out. Outside the deserted house Balqis's view was so hollow. And Ranti could feel the emptiness of the woman's life. Her vegetation. But the violence of women is difficult to overcome.

"So you won't accept my help?" Ask Ranti.

"Thank you, Ran. You are a good friend. It's hard to think I'm taking your help."

Answer Balqis.

Randy looks disappointed.

"Your principles can't be changed anymore?"

Ranti.

"No."

Balqis Reply.

"alright. Excuse me, Qis." Ranti finally said.

"Sorry, yes, Ranti. Perhaps there are words that are not pleasing to your heart. It's all because I don't want to hurt the feelings of my people and my husband. Let what happens I'll take care of myself."

Balqis again.

Ranti got up from her seat, then escorted by Balqis to the yard.

"Don't want to send Cevin any greetings?"

Ask Ranti before she actually leaves.

"Tell him to forget me."

Balqis.

Ranti got in the car.

"okkey. Next time I'll come again."

Ranti.

"Origin wasn't told by Cevin."

Balqis Reply.

Ranti laughed, then ran away her car. Balqis accompanied Ranti's departure with a wave of hands. A cold wind blew over Balqis who stepped into the door of the house. The door of the house closed from inside.

The house became quiet and gloomy again...!!!

"Why haven't you been telling me about Balqis' life?" ketus Ranti while sitting with Cevib at a restaurant.

"Initially he hid his life. Of course you remember, every time I asked her how she was after her refusal when I eloped, she kept it a secret. Even though I have taken away her chastity, my sense of responsibility has always been denied."

Reply Cevin.

"Because she's married now."

Reply Ranti.

"But he still loves me, the proof is that I've often taken him away, he never refused."

Reply Cevin.

"Is that not because it's just an escape?"

Ask Ranti.

"Descenders?" muttered Cevin while smiling bitterly. "No. He has always loved me so much. Just because she didn't want to leave her husband, her heart was like steel. Staunch...!!! But actually behind it, his heart screamed. Which woman could survive in such a life."

Cevin.

"I'm sure he's asking you to forget it now."

Obviously Ranti.

"That's just his word. His heart is another."

Cevin said again.

"He just needs his son Vin's status."

Reply Ranti.

"I knew. Because when she married Sigit, her husband now could not give children."

Cevin.

"His husband's impotent?" Ask Ranti.

Cevin nodded. He took a cigarette and lit it.

"After the incident her pregnancy was not approved by my mother, the plan I will invite Balqis eloped. But the arrogance of Mamahki and Balqis makes all those plans not happen Ran. Then to cover Aib for her pregnancy, Balqis accepts Sigit as her husband with the current circumstances!" Cevin. "Sigit was my brother Irfan's best friend who loved Balqis so much before her tragic death. Then a few months later Sigit had an accident, his motorbike crashed into a truck into a coma and Alhamdulillah he can still survive even with the current circumstances Ran!" Cevin continued explaining. "Oh yeah, where does he work now?"

Cevin.

"Don't tell."

Reply Ranti who was previously silent listening to the story described by Cevin.

"Maybe he's a prankster?"

Ask Cevin.

Reply Ranti.

Cevin held her hair, then squeezed it.

"Aren't you offering a job?"

Ask Cevin.

"He would not accept my help in the form of

anything." anything."

Reply Ranti.

"Too stubborn," muttered Cevin urgently.

"Not stubborn, but he's got principles."

Ranti.

"From now on, I'm going to explore where he works. I should be able to melt the hardness of his heart."

Reply Cevin.

"Try if you can."

Said Ranti again.

"Why not? The baby she contains remains my flesh and blood. He must submit to me anyway. Otherwise I'll take the child after birth."

Reply Cevin.

"You're ruthless. Nine months later she was carrying the baby. But after birth you'll be asked for it forcibly." Ranti.

"Well, that's the only way I can do it if he keeps pushing me down."

Cevin.

"Conscious, Vin. Your status is not what it used to be. You've become a husband of Nabila. And would you also have the heart to separate Balqis' life from her helpless husband? If you do that, two people will be the victims of your actions. Think about it cooking."

Obviously Ranti.

Ranti's words made the man pensive. He was pervading what Ranti had just said. Am I really that cruel? from his little heart. Will I continue to be this way forever? Keep letting Balqis live a tormented life. Plus my flesh and blood after birth must suffer? While the household life I built with Nabila was always cold and indifferent. How long do I have to endure this?

"You don't know life in my household, Ranti. Every day the house we live in is like hell. I don't feel like an hour's worth of living at home. For between me and Nabila never rebuked. He was always busy with his lectures, his personal affairs and others" said Cevin who looked sad.

Ranti is sad too...!!!

"Does this matter your parents know?"

Ask Ranti.

Cevin shook his head. "We've always been closed off so that no one knows except you. Can you imagine how painful this heart is."

Cevin.

"But your actions should not be too emotional. It will be bad for you."

Reply Ranti.

"Until when should I survive? Tell me when?"

Ask Cevin.

"I can't say it. Everything is in you, so that it can change the situation so harmonious. Nabila beautiful. Nabila also has many advantages. Just maybe he hasn't shown you that advantage. I'm sure one day you'll find out."

Obviously Ranti again.

"Since when did you know the advantages of that woman? Just ask for mercy" Cevin sneered.

"Yeah, maybe because you don't know each other. Mutually explore...! The trauma of knowing that you and Balqis are going to be hard to forget for Nabila, Vin. However arrogant and arrogant a woman, must have advantages. Have tenderness and affection."

Obviously Ranti.

"So you're more inclined if I can live in harmony with Nabila?"

Ask Cevin.

"Clear dong. Why do you keep loving and chasing Balqis, and she insists on forgetting you." Ranti.

"No one can change my will."

Answer Cevin.

"Yaaa is up ..."

Ranti gave up.

"Next time I ask for your help again."

Continue Cevin again.

"To meet Balqis and persuade her?"

Ask Ranti.

"Yes. Besides I want to give money for his needs."

Reply Cevin.

"I don't want to. And don't expect him to accept your gift. He once reminded me that I would never accept my arrival if you told me to."

Obviously Ranti.

Cevin's upset. He hit the table, almost spilled his drink. Some people noticed it. Then Cevin hurriedly took Ranti away from the place.

***

The time has shifted by three weeks. Balqis is now busy being a photo model and the star of advertising films. The income received is quite large. The opportunity was well used. Because he realized, in a few months his stomach already looks bloated. She works day and night to prepare to welcome her child.

Although sometimes worried because the work is too forced, the baby may miscarry in the womb. She only works for her baby.

Until one day on the cover of a popular magazine in the capital carried the face of Balqis. Vani brings the magazine to the office.

"Sir Cevin certainly still remember whose face this is?" said Vani while thrusting the magazine to Cevin.

The dreamy Cevin became flabbergasted. The magazine was immediately taken. With a look at the picture of Balqis on the cover of the magazine.

"When did she become a fashion girl?" cevin muttered in annoyance. Then he slammed the magazine on his desk.

Vani was shocked and frightened.

Cevin briefly stood up as he said, "I went to the publisher of this magazine. Office work."

Her speech.

"Good, sir."

Answer Vani.

Cevin rushed away. I can't wait to know who dares to bring Balqis into fashion. In a hurry he launched his car to a magazine publisher. Then, go straight to the editor-in-chief.

"Sorry to interrupt for a moment, sir."

Sapa Cevin's.

"Can I help you?" ask the editor-in-chief who looks haunted but friendly.

"Where do you get your new magazine cover photo slides from?"

Ask Cevin.

"From Flamboyan Studio ."

Answer the editor-in-chief.

"Flamboyant Studio?" Cevin. "Does the studio belong to Vishnu sir?"

Ask Cevin again.

"true."

Answer the editor-in-chief.

"thank you. Excuse me, sir."

Answer Cevin.

Cevin hurriedly left.

The editor-in-chief was only concerned about Cevin's departure. Because he doesn't know what Cevin's purpose is to ask about a fashion girl who just published in his magazine.

Moments later, Cevin just got out of the car. Now he was in the courtyard of the Flamboyan advertising office. With a raging feeling he stepped into the office. And without wanting to sit waiting in the living room, just go straight into the director's room. Until it makes the reception so troublesome.

"Wait, Sir. There are guests."

"I want to meet Mr. Vishnu," said Cevin continued to smuggle in. The receptionist was just a cry. Vishnu who was talking with his guests became amazed to see the arrival of Cevin. He hurriedly welcomed her.

"Sir Cevin, let's sit down."

Cevin. Guests who have been chatting with Vishnu immediately beg themselves.

"Tumben sir Cevin came here himself, there seems to be serious business?" vishnu said with a smile.

"Yes. Balqis business."

Cevin.

Vishnu termangu...!!!
