Hito's gaze was more probing, but Dirga seemed to not care. Hito could read the jealous look on Dirga's face. Moreover, after hearing the words of Lula who did not recognize him as a husband.
"Let go of my hand, Mom!" Lula tried to remove Dirga's grip, but instead Dirga clasped it tighter.
"No, you're going home with me."
"Dirga!" Just as Dirga pulled Lula's hand to leave the hospital lobby, the voice of the call from Alika had already stopped her steps.
Dirga and Hito turned to the source of the voice, appearing to be Alika sitting on a wheelchair with a female nurse behind her. While Lula he was silent and reluctant to look at Alika. He pulled his hand which was still in Dirga's grasp.
The nurse pushed the wheelchair to create a distance between Lula and Dirga.
"Where are you going?" alika looked at her husband.
"I gotta get Lula home, Al."
Unable to accept, Alika clasped her husband's hand. A hateful look at Lula.
"You want to leave me just to drive him home? He's healthy, Dirga. I need you more!" peekkik Alika made the gazes of some people who were in the lobby directed at them.
"Alika, I won't be long. I'm just taking Lula home" Dirga said.
Alika shook her head in a sign that she did not agree if Dirga to take her wife home.
"You women don't know yourself. It wasn't you who said you were going to back out. But look now you're trying to get close to Dirga" he said with anger overflowing.
Lula did not reply and chose silence. It makes Alika even more burned with anger.
"What do you want exactly?" Alika shouted out loud.
Lula took a deep breath, then looked at Alika. "That question is actually more worthy of addressing this Mother's husband. What does it really want?"
Upset, Alika looked at Dirga. "You see, Dirga? What's she like."
"Enough, Al!" Dirga looked at the nurse who was behind Alika. "Suster, please take my wife back to her room."
"I don't want to! Anyway if you choose to drive him, don't expect me to take it."
Lula threw her gaze in the other direction, while Hito who was still among them only became a spectator.
Lula pulled the handle of the suitcase from Dirga's hand. Although it must happen to each other.
"It'll be more useful if you take him to his room, than to take me home. Don't let him threaten to kill himself again and make you make another promise."
After saying her sentence, Lula walked back to Alika and Dirga without caring the slightest bit of Dirga's facial expression. The man was about to catch up, but Alika quickly withdrew her hand.
While Hito walked after Lula who had stepped first.
Lula's steps instantly came to a halt and stood in front of the main door. "Sorry, Hito. You should hear inappropriate talk."
Hito just nodded his head. Not able to say a word after the shocking findings.
"So you and that man are actually related?"
"After hearing the talk, you can guess what the relationship is between me and the two people, right?"
Hito nodded back.
"Your guess is right. So please don't ask me anything again."
Lula pulled out the phone from her pocket. Then open the taxi app online.
"What if I just take you home? I'd like to meet you in your new home."
"Sorry, Hito. I can't accept a male guest in my house. I'm still somebody's wife anyway."
****
Lula is on her way home by online taxi. Although Hito continues to persuade him to want to be driven home, but Lula does not allow it at all.
Shortly after, his phone rang an incoming message. Lula's furrowed brows stared at the name on the notification on her phone screen.
Did Dirga send a message? lula wondered.
He was quite surprised, because, this is the first time Dirga sent a message. Though for the past two months married, Dirga never once gave him attention, even though only through a message.
Lula also opened the message that had just entered her phone.
"I'm sorry, Lula. I have no other choice." ~Dirga.
Lula closed her eyes for a moment, then let out a long sigh. He typed a reply message.
"You have no choice, Mom. Life is full of choices. It's your own fault that you chose to get caught up in the wrong choice." ~ Lula.
After sending a reply message, he deactivated the phone. Choose to calm down.
It only took twenty minutes to travel, Lula had arrived home. He dragged the suitcase into the house.
Unbeknownst to Lula, Hito had been following from behind. He sat in the car and stared from a safe distance.
"So you live here, yes," he said staring at the minimalist house.
