Expelling Hilman was the right way to avoid the question the man was about to ask. The longer he's here, the less Yasmin can stand to see his face.
Hilman advanced his body, wanting to corner Yasmin. “In a moment, we forget about the barren problem. Yasmin, we've been separated for over five months. Impossible if it's my son, then who has impregnated you, while in the paper it is written content is still six weeks?”
“I said go, Mas! Don't interfere in my affairs!” Yasmin raised her voice.
Two people who were outside of–Suci and Galang could hear it. They throw one another in their eyes out of curiosity as to what really happened.
“Yasmin, don't rush to expel me. Your pregnancy news, it seems interesting. Don't you want to share your story with me?” Hilman smirked, a sneaky idea flashed through his head. “Are you afraid I will spread this to the general public? Take it easy, I'll keep this a secret, safe. Assume ...”
Hilman then walked closer towards Yasmin, the woman only looked nervous and confused. Balancing his hunting breath. Reason whatever seems to be free. Hilman already knew everything, he was only able to grieve his stupidity due to being bored and not being careful.
“You know Yasmin, if anyone knows about this. Then I'm sure your name will be smeared. Just imagine, a doctor and also a lecturer at a famous university who is a widow, turns out to be pregnant. It's terrible, you'll definitely receive something bad after this. But, I can guarantee this thing will be safe and no one knows. As long as you follow my request. Of course you know, right, what do I want?” The man showed his cunning.
Yasmin fell silent, she let out a rough sigh. Inevitably, he was forced to obey Hilman's orders because of a threat that was indeed frightening for him. She could not imagine that her pregnancy would be heard on the campus and the area where she lived. It was certain that his image as a doctor would be ugly, and the worst possibility was that he would be expelled from the village.
“Alright, I will put you again in the company. But not as a chief director. There is no bargaining. This is fair enough.”
Although Yasmin reluctantly accepted Hilman's offer, but for her it was not comparable to what she could later imagine the worst to happen to her. His life in the village had made him very comfortable and reluctant to leave him. Moreover, he can channel satisfaction by opening a clinic aimed at helping the surrounding community. Yasmin did not want her career to be ruined if her pregnancy was spread and heard by the citizens.
After the agreement made by Yasmin and Hilman, the man finally decided to leave Yasmin's residence. A laughter of satisfaction was etched on the man's lips. He then walked out and only nodded at Galang and Saints who were still sitting in the middle room.
The two people heard a bit of Yasmin's chatter with Hilman. Suci and Galang then followed Yasmin to his room. Feeling close and worried about Yasmin's situation, Suci then approached, stroking Yasmin's shoulder while saying, “Yasmin, who was it? Is he your ex-husband?”
“Iya, Ma'am,” replied yasmin still with a face of shock.
“Mbak Yasmin is fine, right? Did he hurt, Ma'am?” tanya Galang seemed worried because there was a debate.
Yasmin smiled blandly looking at Galang. “I'm okay, really. Thank you, Galang.”
“Have you told me everything about your pregnancy? Then does he want to be referred to?” ask the holy curious.
Saints who do not know the problem are just the origin of speech. In fact, he did not know who the father of the child Yasmin conceived. “Pity of your son, Yasmin, he needs a father later.”
But Yasmin did not tell the truth. Suddenly Eza came into the room and heard everything.
“Loh, Za? Since when did you come?” asked Galang who was standing in the corner of the room.
“Senja, what does this all mean?" tanya Eza seemed devastated to hear Yasmin who was about to refer to her ex-husband.
“What do you mean, Sky? Why are you here?”
The relationship between the two increasingly feels ordinary and open between Saints and Galang because they also already know everything.
“Who was that guy? I passed him in front. Is he ... Why don't you tell me everything, Dusk? Why didn't you tell me that your ex-husband came and about the reference ... is that true?” Eza's question was as if what he heard was true.
“Sky, listen first, can't want to sit?” Yasmin massaged her painful temples.
Without hearing Yasmin's words, Eza immediately came out of the room again and intended to pursue Hilman. Seeing Eza walking with a thousand steps, Galang quickly tried to follow while shouting to stop Eza. But shit, Eza has passed away going forward his motorbike at high speed so that his voice is not heard.
Eza also caught up with Hilman's car which had not been away from the village for a long time, the possibility of the man still in the alley because the narrow road did need to be careful to pass through it. Eza still remembers the black sedan parked in the yard of Yasmin's house a moment ago. Especially when Eza crossed paths with Hilman had noticed his face. He saw the man get into the car.
Eza stopped his motorbike right in front of Hilman's slow-moving car. He told the man to get out of his car. Hilman who felt strange with the young man immediately came out because he was curious about what his purpose was to tell him to stop suddenly, even though they did not know each other.
“Whose you?” hilman asked, closing the car door.
"No need to know who I am. I just want to convey. You should never expect to go back to Yasmin. Because he will soon be mine. Understand?” Eza intended to stop Hilman's intention to refer to Yasmin.
Hilman who heard Eza's words gasped and smiled wryly and looked at Eza from bottom to top. “May also be your mistress as a man! Looks like you don't deserve to line up with Yasmin! Excuse me, I have to go, my time will be wasted if it serves a snot boy like you.”
After saying this, Hilman rushed back to the car and shook his head. Eza approached with a heated heart.
“I warn, never call me a snot boy. And one more! Get away from Yasmin's life, never mess with her life!”
