PASSION OF MY WIFE'S FRIEND
Disappointment

"It's okay, miss Ayu. Don't feel guilty like that, there's nothing between us. We are just friends and miss Ayu does not need to feel guilty" Aruna replied.

The small smile on Haikal's lips slowly faded, but Aruna still considered him a friend. Not more.

"I happen to want to go home too, Aruna. Because I still have other needs. For Mr. Haikal, hopefully get well soon, yes. Excuse me."

Miss Ayu left politely. Now there is only awkwardness between Aruna and Haikal.

"Ah yes uncle Haikal, I brought some fruit for uncle. Mother, please give the fruit to uncle," pinta Elona.

"Yes, baby."

Aruna also put the fruit parcel on the nightstand. "I put it here, yeah."

"Yes" Haikal answered briefly.

"Ah yeah this is her food hasn't, run out. You should take your medicine soon. I continued to bribe ya," bargained Aruna.

"No, I'm full."

Haikal's reply undoes Aruna's intention of taking the bowl next to the fruit parcel. Haikal's tone sounded unusual. Aruna felt that there was something strange about the man. Did he speak wrong?

Aruna tried not to care about it, maybe Haikal was in need of a lot of rest.

"I came here for-"

"Because I'm your friend, right?" crop Haikal. "Because I'm your friend, you've come to see me."

Haikal's sentence seemed to insinuate his words earlier on miss Ayu. Is it possible that Haikal was offended?

"Graddle-"

"Thank you, Aruna. Thank you for always taking the time to come here. Although I know, you came here because you feel you owe me, right? That's why you always come. But you take it easy, Aruna. I do all this sincerely. Sincerely, Aruna."

Haikal silently heard the sentence that Aruna uttered. Right, if he was sincere he should not have expected anything. Maybe because his love is too big, so he feels a little disappointed so Aruna always considers her just a friend.

"Why silence, Haikal? Didn't I say it before. If I'm afraid to misrepresent your kindness. I'm afraid if you don't get the equivalent of your kindness for me. I just got divorced, it took me a long time to heal my wounds. So, if you keep expecting more from me, then only disappointment will you get."

"You'll recover soon, Aruna. I'll try to be the cure of your wound. I'll make sure of that" Haikal replied.

Aruna budging. He no longer knew what to say. Haikal was very kind, even the man was willing to sacrifice his life to save his daughter. But unfortunately he has not been able to receive more than Haikal's kindness. He is not ready for a relationship any time soon. He still needs space to himself.

"Mother, why is mother angry at uncle Haikal?"

Elona's question resuscitates Aruna if her daughter is there. It was inappropriate for him to talk to Haikal in front of Elona. Her daughter is very small to hear things that adults talk about.

Aruna tried to smile.

"Mom's not angry, baby. For just now, Elona forget it, yeah. There was no need for Elona to remember the conversation between Haikal's mother and uncle just now. Ok!?"

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

"Here you go, just listen to what mom says."

Elona also nodded. "Yes, mother."

Because the time is also running out, Aruna decided to go home soon. He said goodbye to Haikal before he really left.

Haikal regretted that he had behaved like that to Aruna. He should not rush and still make room for Aruna to have the woman recover from her injuries.

"I'm sorry, Aruna. If my feelings for you make you feel uncomfortable" Haikal said.
