ENFOLDMENT
CHAPTER 20

Shani sat quietly looking at herself in front of the dressing glass of her room. His gaze was empty with a feeling of regret. Lowly woman, 2 words as if continuing to rumble in her eardrum.

"So it was fun. Thank you, Shani," said Darren smiling as he rubbed and then peeped the girl's crown.

Shani was silent. Darren starts to roll his hand over Shani's neck, then puts his chin on the girl's right shoulder. "After this we will get married. So we can do it often" Darren added.

Shani's tears suddenly sagged, flowing down both of her cheeks. Darren who was staring at him from the glass continued to rub the clear liquid. Then landed a short kiss on Shani's right cheek.

"Go from here" Shani tells Darren suddenly. Darren hush. "Go!!!" Shani yelled as he stood up quickly.

The two men looked at each other. Tears came out again from the corners of Shani's eyes. As for Darren, he did not end up thinking about the girl.

"Fucking men! I hate you, Darren! I hate you!!!" Shani snapped at the last sentence.

Darren chuckled grinning. "Now can you say that after everything we've done?"

"What are we doing? Not us, but you! What have you done to me?"

Darren is further confused by Shani's attitude. Obviously the girl was also enjoying the heat with him. And why now does Shani deny it?

"I don't know if you're this hypocritical. Are you disappointed now? I should have been disappointed."

Shani cried a little sobbing. He lowered. And then sat down to the place where it was in that vanity glass chair.

Darren still stood looking at Shani with disappointment, but also pity. "Everything's happened. We can't blame each other. I'll take responsibility. And if you're pregnant"

"I'm not going to get pregnant" Shani cuts off, then looks up at Darren. "I will do anything so that I do not conceive your child" she said with sharp eyes.

Darren was stunned for a moment. "So you want to kill our future son?" la chuckles miris.

"I didn't kill. But I prevented him from attending. I don't want him to exist or even be born into the world and know how his father's depraved."

Once again, Shani's speech makes Darren numb. His heart was broken into pieces. Shani's stance to stay away from Darren and reject his love makes the man very hurt.

"okay." Darren. "Okay, if you want that. I'll try to stop" Darren hesitated. "I'll try to stop feeling."

"That's great. Now you can go," tell Shani to expel Darren.

Darren leaves Shani's house. He has decided to end his love for Shani. Even if he doesn't know if he can do it or not.

After Darren's departure, Shani can only cry. His mouth was very easy to say something that was contrary to his heart. As a result, Shani only felt suffering.

In between her cries, Shani's postel suddenly rang. Shani starts grabbing and seeing who's calling her in the middle of the night. Shani quickly wipes away the tears, normalizes her voice so as not to impress the raucous, then she picks up the phone from Rumi, her aunt who is in the village.

"Hello, Bi," Shani said to Rumi.

After the voice of a stranger spoke from there, Shani immediately widened her eyes. His neighbor in the village called his aunt's cell phone and informed her that Rumi was sick at this time. It has been running for 2 days Rumi lay on a mattress with a high fever.

Shani panics. And after the call ended Shani immediately packed.he put some clothes into a small suitcase and the needs he currently thought of carrying.

Without thinking long Shani immediately ordered a taxi to return to his hometown. The one Shani was worried about right now was Rumi. Shani does not want anything bad to happen to Rumi and make her lose the woman. Enough of the people around him gone. But Rumi, he is more than anything to Shani.

Ms. Sandra brought a stack of files to Darren's room. He knocked on the door of the room and opened it slowly. "Excuse me, sir," he said to Darren.

"These are files that need to be followed up" Ms Sandra said as she put a stack of HVS on Darren's desk.

"Why did Miss Sandra bring her here? Where is Shani?" asked Darren who felt confused because Shani's work was done by Ms. Sandra.

"Shani took a week off, sir. Said her aunt in the village was sick." Answer Ms. Sandra.

Darren pensive. It's only fitting that he hasn't seen Shani's nose since this morning. The girl did not go to work. But, is it true that Shani came home and took a leave of absence because her aunt was sick? Or is this simply Shani doing to avoid it for a while?

"I'll excuse you, sir." Ms. Sandra continued to talk when she began to find Darren daydreaming.

"Ah, yes." Darren replied a little surprised.

Ms. Sandra also left the room leaving Darren who was still raging with his thoughts about Shani.

"Jia!" call Darren when he finds that Jia has just come out of the pantry, and then approaches him.

"Yes, Sir. What's up?" jia asked Darren.

"I heard that Shani is coming home for the next 1 week. Why?"

"Oh yes, sir. Her aunt is sick, she says she has a high fever. Shani just whatsapp me that if her aunt has to be hospitalized, her aunt has typhoid."

Darren is silent for a while trying to believe Jia's remarks about the reason Shani took a week off from the office.

"Is there anything else to ask, sir?" jia asked Darren to make sure.

"none. You can go."

"Yes, Sir. Excuse me." And Jia also left Darren who was still staring near the pantry door.

"Auntie misses you, Sha" said Rumi, who was lying weakly on a hospital bed.

Shani smiled with tears staring at her aunt's face. "Sorry Shani yes, Bi. Shani can't take care of Auntie every day. Shani is too busy in the city and so ungodly as Bibi," he said, clutching Rumi's right hand.

Rumi wiped the girl's tears with her other hand. "Who said you were being disobedient with Auntie? You're a niece and nephew that Aunt has always been proud of." Rumi smiled sincerely looking so fond of Shani.

Shani looked down on Rumi's back. He cried out all the emotions he had been harboring lately. Everything, about her pitiful self, about Darren, and about Rumi's current state.

"Shani," called Rumi sure to make Shani slowly look at her. "Do you have a problem?" tanyanya began to feel if her adopted daughter was in a situation that was not okay.

Shani smiled briefly even though her eyes and cheeks were already very wet. "No, Bi. Shani's just guilty of seeing Auntie like this."

"Auntie is not pa-pa. Auntie is sick like this is not your fault" said Rumi stroked Shani's head to calm her down.
