EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
104. Decisions

With a leisurely pitch, Nadine continued her activity shopping for all the needs of the baby. He bought a lot of cute dresses, baby pajamas, even complementary accessories like headbands, shoes and socks. The tiny things made him anxious and furious as if he wanted to buy everything.

Lucky has not dared to comment on the actions that Nadine is doing, it's just that, he also paid attention to what Nadine bought.

From Lucky's vision, which Nadine bought it was mostly equipment for baby girls.

"Who do you want to buy it for baby, anyway?"

Not strong enough to hold back his curiosity, finally Lucky again asked.

"Make baby Elara" answered Nadine honestly.

"The baby's name is Elara?"

"Yes, is something wrong?" Nadine looked at Lucky with a thin grin.

Lucky put on a surprised face, of course, the baby's name is the same as the last name belongs to his wife, until finally Lucky's eyes patterned as if he had just realized something.

"Nad, don't tell me that in Indonesia you adopted a baby without my consent."

Nadine smiled bitterly. "If so, why? Don't ban positive things I do unless I'm breaking the norms of being a wife, ma'am."

Lucky took a long breath. "So, have you really adopted a child?" tanyakanya.

"The intention is that, but I haven't realized it yet."

"Why didn't you tell me that, Nad?"

"Emang everything should I say to you first, Mas? You moved my room just-not with my permission, right? Throw away my stuff, too."

Lucky wanted to answer that all of it was Firda's actions and not him, but eventually Lucky chose not to say, because there was no commotion between him and Nadine there.

Until finally, Nadine came out of the babyshop and Lucky followed her with a calm attitude in silence.

"We had lunch together, yeah. At your favorite restaurant."

"No need, Mas. Thanks." Thanks." Nadine walks first, leaving Lucky behind her.

Lucky pursues Nadine's steps, trying to match their position so she can walk side by side with the woman. But, Nadine continued to move dodge, as if she did not want Lucky to be right beside her.

"Nad, don't do this. Like a kid, you know!" Lucky ran out of patience, since he had tried to be patient and persuaded Nadine to want to think it existed, in fact the woman was even colder.

"Udah I said, you don't need to bring me here. And yes, I am childish, I can't keep up with your maturity" she said.

Lucky wants to re-persuade Nadine, when they are in a fairly quiet area, Lucky with his stronger power, it deliberately makes Nadine's body turn to face him, so that she can face him, then he also held both shoulders of the wife-in order to look at the woman.

"Nad, I love you so much... please don't be like this!" the man was sharp.

Nadine stared at the look of earnestness in Lucky's eyes. It seems like he lost and inevitably had to give up again. His love is too big for that man. But, just now Nadine wanted to answer Lucky's words with an action that would hold the man's fingers, apparently the husband's cellphone first rang loudly.

Lucky looked at Nadine with a look of gloating eyes and there was Nadine's pity as if reappearing.

"Firda?" ask the woman who can guess the situation.

Lucky simply replied with a lethargic nod.

"Yes, pick up the phone."

Lucky shook his head, then rejected the call from his young wife.

"This day, I want to be with you." Lucky said sure.

Actually Nadine wants to cheer happy now, finally Lucky can determine the attitude and want to choose it - even though occasionally. But, of course, he did not want to show such a reaction in front of the husband.

"Come, we'll have lunch together at your favorite restaurant, or do you have any other referrals for us?"

This time Nadine replied with excitement. "OK, if this is what you want," he said.

Lucky curled his lips, he was happy that Nadine finally agreed. However, having just had their hands linked to each other - in a matter of seconds, Lucky's phone roared back at the sign asking to be answered immediately his call.

"Well, who knows how important it is."

Inevitably Lucky received the call because he was also afraid of something happening with the content of Firda.

"Huh-"

"Mas, where are you? Why would anyone pick me up even Mr Didi? You said you wanted to pick me up. Why did you tell the driver?"

Firda nagged from across there, leaving Lucky a little surprised and reflexively keeping the phone away from his ears.

"Sorry, I'm outside and busy."

"Don't tell me you're busy with Nadine now, Mas!"

"Sorry, Firda."

Nadine can hear the cellular conversation quite clearly, but she doesn't want to chim in Lucky's chat with Firda - who seems to be upset there.

Lucky immediately disconnected his call right then and there, even disabling his phone.

"Mass?" Nadine looked at Lucky as if she could not believe her husband's actions. Should he be happy now that Lucky is doing this?

"Udah, don't you think, now we go to lunch."

...~~~...

"You actually still love me, don't you, Nad?"

Lucky's question after their lunch ended - it makes Nadine confused to answer. It was not that he had no answer to that question, but rather that he felt that such a question was not very important to question again when their relationship was like this.

Lucky rubbed his own face rough, looking frustrated because Nadine never visited him.

"Nad, is it hard for you to answer? I just want to know, if you still love me, why did you ask for a divorce from me, honey?"

"Mas, even though I still love you so much. But I'm gonna let go of something that doesn't want me. its hurt, you know!"

Lucky breathed a heavy breath. "I know I hurt you. But now everything is happening. I also married Firda on your wish as well, right?"

Nadine closed her eyes for a moment. Then he said regularly.

"I did approve of your marriage, Mas. But I didn't expect Firda to make me the enemy I am today."

"No! Firda doesn't consider you an enemy, you misjudged him, Nad."

"I think you're not blind. You're not blind, are you, Mom?" tanya Nadine emphasized. "You're not deaf either. You're smart, you can judge everything that's happened to this day. Can't you think? I was the one who misjudged Firda or you were blinded by the same situation?" nadine was very sad.

Lucky massaged his temple. He and Nadine always end up with a debate even a fairly fierce quarrel when discussing this matter.

"And one more, my. You need to know, because I don't want to cover this up anymore. I already know that you guys were in a relationship behind me long before I gave you my blessing to get married."

Hearing that, Lucky's face immediately pias. In fact, he was increasingly frustrated because Nadine showed a slanted smile to him.

"Nad, you're accusing me---"

"Not accusing, Mum!" cut Nadine. "But I'm telling you the truth. Go ahead, don't dodge anymore. I know your betrayal, Mom."

"But, Nad...."

"Then don't ask me why I'm demanding a divorce now. Because no matter how much love I love you, it doesn't mean anything when I'm sick of living with traitors."

Nadine's words are like daggers piercing right into Lucky's heart. It's painful, but Nadine's feeling of knowing everything must have hurt a lot more than this, Lucky thought.

"So, what do you want now, Nad?" ask Lucky pasrah.

"I stick to my decision, Mommy." Nadine tried to strengthen her heart when she said this again - to the man she still loved. "I want you to take care of our divorce!" repelled.

"But, Nad. I can't do that kind of thing!"

"Why not? Betray me only you can, Mom. Lying to me all this time you can too. Why can't a divorce?"

"How many times have I told you, I still love you so much, Nadine!"

Nadine took her breath. Trying to hold the patience that has been drained almost completely.

"If it's true that you love me so much, then let me go for my happiness! Don't be selfish and force things because this is hurting me. You must know that the true definition of love is not to have, but to make our partner happy."

"And your happiness is to be divorced from me? That so?"

"Yes," said Nadine steadily make Lucky increasingly massage his own forehead.

"On assets, I won't master them, Mas. I'll return everything to you including boutiques and bridal."

"You're this serious? Divorce until you return the assets? Where do you want to live without my help and without that effort, Nad?"

Nadine did not like the words of Lucky once, impressed to underestimate him.

"Rezeki can come from anywhere, mas. If the edges of the asset will ensnare me and make me unhappy, I'm willing to give up everything that has to do with you."

"Nadine!"

"I'm sorry, Mas. I'm waiting for your decision as soon as possible!"

Nadine moved out of her chair, leaving Lucky with a sense of relief - because she was being candid about everything she knew.

Although Nadine still loves her husband, but somehow after their conversation just now, it makes her chest feel plong.

The burden on his shoulders seemed to fall, to make him not have to bear the problem anymore.
