Husband's Taste Friend
Chapter 16's

Seno took a sip of his coffee which stayed a little. From an hour ago he sat in front of the laptop looking at the still empty body of email. He was confused about what to write while in his heart and head he wanted to reveal a lot to Nisa. Yes ... Seno will send an email to Nisa.

Finally Seno just wrote, 'Nis, you are fine, right? Oh yeah, you got a greeting from Castlefield the nicest park in Manchester in my opinion. Sometimes you come here dong, later I take you around the UK until tempor.'

Seno let out a long sigh, all this time he had never been far with Nisa, then now they were far apart it felt very strange and_tortured for longing. But does the woman feel the same way?

Seno got up and walked to the balcony of the apartment. From where it stands it is clear how crowded it is down there, the apartment Seno lives in is located in the city center and quite close to the campus.

Modern, Contemporary, Georgian, Roman, and Gothic themed building architecture is present in the city. Now Manchester is a bona fide metropolis, understanding how to perpetuate its ancient and modern buildings. Also understand how to preserve the harmonious atmosphere so that Manchester does not forget the past.







Of the many good buildings, the John Rylands library is the place that Seno likes the most. Anyone who saw the dark brown building, would not have thought that it was a library, either, because of the appearance of neo-gothic style buildings that have existed from the time of Queen Victoria is like a castle or at a glance similar to a luxurious Cathedral. There Seno can spend his free time reading whatever he wants. Since 1972 the John Rylands library has been part of the University of Manchester.

Here quite a lot of Indonesian people who are mostly students. A month in Manchester, Seno already has some Indonesian friends from students to Travel Bloggers. Seno also has a cousin named Niken who has long settled in the UK.

The cold weather sipped in through the knit sweeter Seno was wearing. Autumn is over now winter has come. Seno hopes to adjust, although usually the cold temperatures here are not too extreme as in other cities.

Winter is synonymous with Christmas, in Manchester this is really felt. In shopping centers began to crowded selling Christmas trinkets. And do not miss also the neighbors Seno has frenzied from now preparing for Christmas when it is still a month away.

There is one neighbor Seno who is good not kelulungan. Mr. Armand and Mrs. Armand. They were a couple in their sixty who had just lost their son. He said his son was the same age as Seno, he died in an accident. For some reason when they saw Seno they always remembered his son.

"You remember us of our son" he said.

Seno has been invited to dinner three times to their apartment, and at Christmas the family has also prepared a chair for Seno. Even though Seno has said he does not celebrate Christmas like they do.

His days in Manchester were not so bad because there was that family, but Seno would be very happy if the woman he loved was beside him and accompanied him at any time.

I don't know, because it's very difficult and__impossible.

At half-six in the morning Nisa was ready to go to the office, because before going to the office she wanted to stop by first to the hospital to see Viko. Before leaving, the girl prepared breakfast for Angga, the spoiled child could not do anything even to cook instant noodles. Not forgetting Nisa wrote a message on a piece of paper.

'Ga, let's go to work first, breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Be careful if you want to go, call if there's anything. The code of the apartment door is still old.'

Nisa put the message on the edge of Angga's phone so it can be read immediately.

Nisa leaves in a taxi she ordered from dawn.

"Cipto hospital yes, sir," Nisa told the taxi driver after she sat in the back seat.

"Good, Ma'am."

This morning the city of Jakarta is still very quiet, from which Nisa arrived at the hospital faster. Nisa pays argo and goes straight inside. Previously Nisa had been intercepted by one of the security guards because now it is not a big clock. But Nisa says that she's a patient's family for the turn to keep watch. He was finally allowed in.

When Nisa walks into the room, Viko is not in bed. Then there was the sound of water in the bathroom. Nisa exclaimed from behind the door. "Viko .. are you inside?"

"Yes .. Have you come, my dear? Wait a minute, I'm peeing. My mom went downstairs to buy breakfast, she said."

"Oh ...."

A few minutes later, Viko came out of the toilet. She smiled brightly seeing Nisa already sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Nisa got up and pushed Viko back to the bed and put the infusion bottle to the iron pole.

"I don't need to be swept, Nis. I've been snuffing, really. I hope Dr. Vanesh lets me go home today."

"I think you should get more rest here, Ko. Until you are completely healed. I'm so worried about you." Viko looked at Nisa with reverence while squeezing Nisa's fingers gently.

"Thank you, yeah ...."

"For what?" Nisa's forehead is wrinkled.

"To stay by my side" said Viko. Nisa gnashing. "To always love me for who I am" he continued. Nisa gulps bitterly. Viko's eyeballs are clear because of happiness even though the dark circles under her eyes are clearly visible.

Is Nisa so evil for lying about her feelings? Viko thinks Nisa loves her, but every breath she takes, love and unfortunately, is on someone else.

Viko laid her body on the patient's bed, then she spoke again, "After I get out of here, I want us to be more serious, Nis." Nisa was stunned to look at Viko who continued to smile happily. "M__you mean?" Nisa said a little trembling. "I want us to get married. Last night I was thinking, after getting out of here I was planning to propose to you officially, Nis. You want to, marry me?"

For whatever sake when Nisa heard word for word coming out of Viko's mouth, it felt like she was struck by lightning in the morning blind. He wanted to run as far as possible but his feet stuck firmly on the floor he was on. Can't move a bit.

Nisa looked again at Viko's happy sparkling eyeballs. Nisa's heart is memeos, how could she hurt Viko with this kind of situation? Nisa is unable to hurt Viko by saying no.

At that time all Nisa could do was try to launch a smile and nod faintly, although her heart might now be out of shape.

"I love you ..," said Viko.

"Ko, I'm sorry I have to go to the toilet." That's all Nisa can say. Then as quickly as possible he avoided Viko. From her gaze that made Nisa feel guilty.

Behind the toilet door, Nisa held back her cries with all her might. He hit his chest slowly hoping that his tightness would decrease slightly.

Triiit ....

Nisa's phone is ringing. Nisa reached into the bag she had placed on the edge of the sink to pick up the phone. One email in. Nisa opened the email. It was from Seno.

'No, you're fine, right? Oh yeah, you got a greeting from Castlefield the nicest park in Manchester in my opinion. Sometimes you come here dong, later I take you around the UK until tempor.'

Nisa held her phone tightly to her chest. He was no longer strong, finally a small river had decayed from his eyes.

***

Nisa doesn't know where fate will take her. But whatever it is, he will accept it even if he has to sacrifice. Eleven years is a very long time, he and Viko have suffered, so has the Gita. At least out of those three people there should be one who is happy. And according to Nisa one of those people is Viko.

He did not care if he was unhappy, because eleven years was enough to teach him. Nisa has a healthy body, good job, abundant materials, and is loved by one man, Viko. What else is lacking? Did God not give everything? Why isn't he grateful?

Sacrificing love for the happiness of others isn't that a good deed? Especially if the person is sick. Very severe pain.

It's been a week since Viko left the hospital, and the plan to apply for Nisa officially also seems to be no joke. Viko began to prepare it, from the ring to other items. Viko's family in Sukabumi has been informed of this plan. Now it's Nisa's turn. Actually Nisa is a bit hesitant to tell about this plan, because Viko has a bad track record in the eyes of Nisa's parents because of the tragedy eleven years ago. Nisa's family knows that Nisa was hit by a car because of being chased by Viko, they also know about their love triangle.

Nisa leaned her back against the back of the chair in her study. His fingers lightly rubbed his forehead. Really this has made him dizzy and unable to sleep for a few days.

Lena slowly approached Nisa's room. He hesitantly approached Nisa and asked, "Mom, is Mommy sick?" Nisa looked slowly while opening her eyes.

"Eh, you're Len. No, I'm not sick, just a lack of sleep."

"Oh that's it, I'm worried about you looking pale. Do I want to have Mang Yanto make an angel sweet tea? Let the body go."

"Yes, thank you, Len."

"It's the same, Ma'am."

Lena exits Nisa's room into the kitchen looking for Office Boy named Yanto.

Nisa speechless. He thought of something. Usually the one who pays attention like this is Seno. Now that the guy isn't around, Nisa's really lost.

Nisa threw her head on the table with her arms as the base, then she could let out her tears freely before Yanto came to bring her a warm sweet tea.

"Assalamualaikum Dad ...," exclaimed Nisa behind the phone. The plan is now Nisa will tell her parents about Viko's proposal. Inevitably Nisa had to convey this matter to them.

"Goddessalam ... Nisa's? What's up with the phone? You're not busy?" Nisa is a little flustered to hear her father say 'tumben' because Nisa's son who very rarely contacts her parents on busy grounds.

"Yes, I'm not busy anymore ... Well, which mother?"

"There's a factory. Want me to call you?"

"Yes Well, please call ya .. because I want to talk seriously with you guys."

"Oh, okay. I'll call your mother first ...."

Dodi__ayah Nisa__ went looking for his wife to the factory located behind the house. The Nisa family does have a food business that is mochi, souvenirs typical of Sukabumi, which is managed by Rita, Nisa's mother. Dodi manages the farm business. It has some rice milling, buying and selling grain and seedlings.

Nisa's family is well off, but they teach her children to live a simple life. Even when Nisa went to college in Singapore, they gave her a mediocre allowance, and a small contract.

Now, since Nisa already has her own income, she can do whatever she likes including buying some fancy handbags. Not without reason, he did it to show his nemesis, Nadya, that he was better than him.

Dodi calls Rita who is working with her employees.

"Mom, this is Nisa's phone, she said she's got something she wants to talk to us about."

"Oh, Nisa? My son has been calling us for almost a month again. Don't know that parents miss their girls."

Nisa grimaced hearing her mother talk like that.

"Hello Nis ...." Now Rita's taking over the phone.

"Hello, Ma'am ... Healthy mom?"

"Yes healthy. You how? You don't like to relapse anymore, do you?"

"No, Mom."

"Thank God. By the way Angga doesn't bother you, does he?"

"Hhh ... I know for myself how the boy is. Even for the cleanliness of clothes, he can't be alone. Once he did it himself, he didn't really."

"Patience to you, Nis. Your sister that one is too late. Oh yeah, you said he said someone wanted to talk?"

"Yes ma'am, please have it on the loadspiker yes, so I can be horrified too."

Rita presses tombil spiker.

"It."

"Bus ... Well ... plan my girlfriend and her family will come to the house next week to sleep."

Rita and Dodi were instantly excited and moved to hear what their daughter had just said. Eventually the girl they love will get married too. Previously they were a little worried that Nisa did not want to get married because she was too happy to work and_trauma to her past.

"So you're serious?" ask Dodi with passion.

"Yes, Dad."

"Alhamdulillah .. Who is your future husband, Nis?" ask Rita.

Nisa gulped, worried that her parents wouldn't approve. "Viko, Mom. My girlfriend was in high school first," said Nisa slowly.

Dodi and Rita's face immediately turned sad.

"K__You're serious, Viko caused you the accident?" ask Rita to make sure that her son-in-law is not the Viko.

"Yes, Mom."

"You sure?" Rita repeated to make sure again.

"Yes. I'm sure, Mom."

Dodi looked down sad. He recalled how his most beloved daughter had been in a coma and almost gone. When she wakes up from a coma, Nisa does not recognize her parents and even herself for several weeks due to dissociative amnesia.

Dodi found out his daughter was like that because of a man named Viko. Then he found out that Gita who had been considered like his own daughter participated in the tragedy. Because of that love triangle, Dodi almost lost his daughter.

Finally to release Nisa from Viko and Gita, Dodi accidentally sends Nisa far to Singapore. Hope Nisa can heal her wounded heart. And now what? Nisa is going to marry that guy.

"If you're sure, I agree with you." With the weight of Rita. Without Rita noticing a drop of her tears fell, but Rita quickly wiped her with the hijab she was wearing.

"Thank you, Dad ... Ms. .. please prepare everything, I returned to Sukabumi on Friday afternoon already home from work. Assalamualaikum." Nisa hung up the phone with trembling hands. He knew even though his parents said that but in his heart they were sad. Nisa knows because her father did not say a word after knowing the man who would propose to Nisa is Viko.
