Infidelity
20. Start Rise

Three days Marsha mourned, content to mourn her husband's departure. Now he is trying to get up and the only thing he wants to do is to visit his son in the hospital where his son Al's health is improving.

Al who is busy playing the latest output phone bought by Mr. Excel seems to enjoy the game games in the mobile application.

Marsha, who is currently alone in the hospital, appears to calmly enter her son's room.

Al welcomed his mother's arrival and immediately embraced her mother longingly as her mother approached him.

"Mommy...! Hugo said his mother fell ill when she returned home from France. How's mom doing now?"

"Mami's been quiet and mom's sorry she couldn't take care of Al when she was sick. How are you, baby?" ask Marsha.

"Alhamdulillah! Al is now healthy and wants to go home. Al is bored here. It's a pity that Hugo is tired of waiting for Al in the hospital."

"It's okay Miss Marsha! I'm happy to keep Al because his son isn't so fussy."

Said Hugo while smiling indistinctly looking directly at the face of Marsha who is very beautiful according to him.

"Thank you so much Hugo! I owe you a lot. If one day you want to get married, I'm ready to make a very beautiful wedding dress for your future wife." Marsha said seriously.

"Well! It's a great honor for me to get the opportunity to give a wedding dress to a lover, from a famous designer like you, Miss Marsha." Hugo said it was his own misdeed.

Hugo was ready to go to the cafeteria to give this mother and child a chance to let go of their longing.

"Darling! Whose cell phone is that?"

"In love with uncle Excel."

"Oh yeah! Have you thanked uncle Excel yet?"

"Not met the man, mami." Al said while playing his phone.

"Why not just call her, baby. It is not good to postpone our thanks to someone who has given you a gift."

"Let's call Mami. Oh yeah, how's mommy's dad? Did mommy see dad?"

Degggggs....

Marsha gasped at her son's question which she finally heard. He would not want to have to take the attitude to tell the truth to his son because there is no point in him lying.

"Al! Do you want the better life that God promised His servant when tested with a loss?"

"What do you mean? What does this have to do with dad between testing and losing?" Tanya Al did not understand.

"If Allah takes something from the side of His servant, then Allah will replace it for the better for His servant's life. Similarly, the father who has now left us first.-"

"You mean, Dad's dead? Is that why my mom got sick?" Al asked in a loud voice.

"Dear, forgive mom. When you were seriously ill at the same time, Dad left us for good." Marsha was crying again.

"Yahhhhh...!" Pekik Al crying in his mother's arms.

"Mommy...! Al kangen same father!"

"Mother misses dad too! But God has lifted the pain of father and God loves father more than we love him. Al isn't it just mom who's gonna raise you alone?"

"May you always be healthy and strong. Don't leave Al mother! Al doesn't want to live as an orphan." Al said, still crying.

Marsha let her son cry because he was still sad. It is impossible to forget a loved one for only a short time.

Marsha helps feed the food to her quiet son. Marsha was very sad to see the face of Al who had been cheerful turned moody.

"Al must also be healthy and strong in order to keep mami. If Al is healthy, my mom can focus on working to be able to finance Al's school." Marsha gave her son understanding.

"God willing Mami. I only have my mom. Al will study hard to help you make money." Said Al polo.

Marsha recites the fairy tale for Al even though her son is already in his teens, but Marsha feels his son is still a child. Al finally fell asleep.

...----------------...

Three months on, Marsha intends to reopen her boutique after raising capital from the sale of her designs to the French royal family, especially the queen of Barca.

Marsha who wants to study the market how the current clothing trend in the community, especially teenagers to adults.

He took several portraits each time someone passed in front of him. He was looking for a location commonly visited by young people who like to hang out in cafes, parks and cinemas.

While in the cinema, Marsha who has not seen her favorite movie is an action film. Marsha tries to stand in the queue buying cinema tickets.

He also ordered popcorn and lemon tea. When he wanted to walk to studio three, Marsha's arm touched someone to make him stunned.

"Marsha!" Say hello to Cal with a smile when he could meet again with Marsha.

"What do you want?"

"I want to see Marsha in the same movie. Do you want us to sit down on one bench, so I can ask the same person who is sitting next to you.-"

"I'm not interested in sitting close to you. Get out of my sight or I flush you with this drink!" Threaten Marsha with a dark face.

"Darling! There's something I want to talk to you about. I'm actually divorced from my wife Farah who can't forgive my affair with you even though I've been trying to maintain our household."

"What do I do with your divorce?" Ask Marsha coldly.

"Of course it has something to do with you, Marsha. I want to re-establish our relationship that once ran aground. I want to make amends for you. I may have made you pregnant and you must have aborted it for our common good. You and I both have widow and widower status. So there's no barrier between the two of us to stabbing.

"What's the matter with my future wife, Mr Cal?" Ask Mr. Excel who suddenly appears before Cal and Marsha.

Both are jolted by the presence of Excel and Marsha feels benefited at this time because there is a protector who is ready to do anything to keep her from interference by others.

Actually, ever since Marsha left her apartment, Excel's been tracking Marsha wherever she goes. Because Marsha continued to keep her distance during the Iddah period, Excel refrained from approaching her to avoid skewed gossip about the relationship between those who have not been committed to anything.
