GRACEFUL
Chapters 18. Unhappy

While waiting for his wife to be moved to the nursery, Firhan checks his phone. There were replies to messages from Cakra and foreign numbers that had been terrorizing him since morning.

Firhan's eyes rounded perfectly when he knew the contents of the message from the foreign number.

"Mas, come to my kost. If you don't come, right after lunch, you'll find my body lying stiff. I'm not kidding, Mas. Jihan."

Firhan was made a mess by that woman. What if Jihan really ended her life? What will be said to everyone? Ah, Firhan is very much in a dilemma. His human spirit goes against the instinct to wait for his wife. On the other hand, his wife was much more important. While Jihan is a stranger who has ruined everything.

"I can't possibly leave my wife, but I won't let anyone else end their life the wrong way either!"

Firhan hurriedly headed to the parking lot. He ignored the call of the nun who said that his wife had awakened. Let after this people will sneer or insult him because they prefer to save the life of another woman rather than waiting for his wife.

Firhan drove his car at high speed to get to Jihan's place. Although the distance is not too far, but to reach there it takes more than 20 minutes. If it was too late, Firhan would have been the first person to be accused as the cause of Jihan's death.

Firhan rushed down from the car and ran towards the wide open door.

"Damn! The jihan! Where are you?" shouted Firhan.

The closed door of the room made Firhan try to break it. Jihan is lying inside. Next to him was a knife and his hand which he had hurt.

Firhan's not taking Jihan out of there. He tries to convince himself that Jihan is still breathing and there is a chance to live again.

After Firhan was convinced that Jihan was still breathing, he hurriedly lifted the woman up without thinking about what the risk would be. He took Jihan to the hospital where Anggun was treated because it was the closest one.

As before, Firhan put the car in the same place. Sister was a bit surprised because the man who had brought patients on behalf of Anggun instead brought another woman who seemed to be trying to commit suicide.

Because it must be treated immediately, Jihan's gurney is pushed in along with Anggun's gurney who came out to move the ward.

Graceful who was conscious, but still in a weakened state could see Jihan coming in and her husband being there.

The gaze of Anggun and Firhan's eyes clashed. It seemed like Anggun no longer had a peaceful word for the misunderstanding of the two. Firhan was stunned on the spot then followed Anggun to his nursery regardless of the car that was still parked origin in front.

"Ggun, this is a misunderstanding" Firhan said after the sister who delivered Anggun out.

Gracefully silent. He did not respond at all because what he saw was definitely not a coincidence.

"Better to get out now. Just meet your second woman!"

Gracefully tired. He doesn't want to argue. While Firhan felt guilty for all the events that befell Anggun and his household.

Just getting out of the Anggun nursery, a man stopped him. Though Firhan did not know the man at all, but he knew Firhan.

"Agely Old?" ask Witha.

Yes, Witha today went to the hospital to simply take the results of her sick mother's examination. Actually, Witha knew that Firhan had just come out and entered again with Jihan. Vitha was still confused by the situation and tried to digest it.

"Yes. You who?" ask Firhan.

"I'm Witha. Anggun's friend," replied Witha lying. If she confessed to Anggun's ex-girlfriend, obviously Firhan would not allow her to swipe Anggun. This is a rare opportunity and should be put to the best use possible.

"Oh, Witha. I'm Firhan. Yes, Grace is inside."

"Just tired."

"May I take a look?" Asking for her husband's permission isn't a problem, is it? Instead of Witha barging in and being expelled.

Firhan could not resist. Perhaps by meeting his friends, Anggun began to subside. However, the blame still rests on Firhan. It was as if the universe had set up a grueling scenario like this.

"Please come in, but I can't accompany you. Maybe something's talked about, go ahead."

Firhan also just remembered that his car must be disturbing other people in front of the IGD. There was no time left but to quickly leave his wife's inpatient ward.

Witha had just opened the door and was immediately presented with a voice of Graceful anger that sounded explosive.

"Otherwise, Mas?" ask gracefully without seeing who is coming.

"Ggun, it's me" said Witha then closed the door again.

"Witha?" Gracefully surprised then turned to the source of the voice.

"What are you sick with?" Witha looked for a seat to be close to Anggun again.

"I'm just exhausted. Why do you know I'm here?"

Witha told me that she saw Firhan. Actually he did not remember much, but when he found out he was holding Jihan who had just got out of the man's car, Witha tried to find information.

"You have a household problem? Just tell! I still want to listen, Nggun. Don't save your own grief!"

Already once left to marry another woman, now comes the pretentious caring on the life of Graceful. It feels so lazy to serve it. Moreover, this incident followed after Witha took him away while in the villa.

"Are you secretly working with Jihan?" ask Anggun.

It happened like a coincidence. Witha took her away, and her husband and Jihan were in the room that Anggun and her husband were supposed to be in.

"Work together how? Jihan and I have never communicated. I do know Jihan from you, but Jihan's cell phone number or life, I don't know at all!"

It was clear that Witha dodged accusations that had never been made at all. However, given this talk about Jihan as well as her, Witha draws the conclusion that there is a special relationship between Firhan and Jihan.

"Your husband is having an affair?" ask Witha at last.

Silent. Graceful eyes began to glaze over. From the corner of his eyes that were unable to withstand the greatest turmoil during his life it finally flooded. Yes, Graceful crying. She couldn't possibly open her husband's disgrace, but Whitha's words instantly made Anggun unable to contain himself.

"Geel, don't cry! I'm sorry if I made you sad. I know you're strong, but please don't use your feelings to cry over a depraved man like him."

If Firhan had heard, there would have been a fistfight between the two. Both Anggun and Witha both thought that Firhan had a special relationship with Jihan.

"I-I don't know, Witha. Please out! Don't make me feel overwhelmed by all my problems!"

Instead of entertaining, the presence of Witha even adds weight to the problem. The reason, the man had already said that his own marriage was as unhappy as Anggun's marriage. Will the two of them be in a relationship that had broken up? Or, both choose to survive with their respective marriages that are equally destroyed?
