The Bitter Three's
Glimmer of Hope

Hanifah dressed up while dumbstruck. Just heard Alwa's story about Raka.

Is falling in love that easy? Think Hanifah.

Alwa told her in flowers, about her turmoil, about her tension. And right now it feels like he always wants to meet Raka.

Hanifah could only advise Alwa not to put too much pressure on Raka. A man's raka is free, needs room for himself, and the less serious kind of responds to something.

Everything serious was made relaxed by Raka.

So, Hanifa proposed that Alwa better speak to Susan who knew Raka better. But just like her, Alwa was sensitive to Susan.

In fact, just like Alwa, Hanifah is also confused about love-love problems.

After carving a little liptint and checking her hijab, Hanifah grabbed her bag and went to work. There is still an hour before the shift starts, Hanifah will stop by first to the gold shop.

And he was surprised when he saw Galuh still in his house, sitting at the security post next to the fence.

"Mas Galuh?" sahut Hanifa.

Galuh just smiled thinly.

"Not coming home yet? What else is there waiting for Susan? I told you, Susan's going home tomorrow,"

"Yes, I'm waiting for Ma'am Hani,"

Hanifah. Then take a long breath.

"What are you talking about?" ask Hanifa ketus.

"I'm taking you?"

"No, I'd like to stop by somewhere else anyway. There's still an hour before my shift starts,"

"Yes, I'll take you wherever you want,"

"I told you not to" Hanifah turned and moved away from Galuh. But the man caught Hanifah's wrist.

"Sir, plis, I'm sorry to offend you,"

"Once again as if to touch me" Hanifah grumbled as she looked at Galuh's hand clasping her wrist.

Galuh immediately released his grip. The man sighed. "Please let me drop off, I told Mr. David just now, too,"

"Why bother Mas David? Can't we finish it by ourselves?!" Hanifah immediately sewot.

"How am I supposed to finish if Madam Haninya is like this?"

"What-like?"

"Rubber against me,"

"Who's way?"

Galuh throbbed, "Yes, because of me," he hissed slowly.

"Yes, I want to go on a transjakarta ride!"

"The feeder is far away, ma'am,"

"I'm used to walking out of the compound,"

Hanifah's feet stepped lightly down the sidewalk along the elite housing located in South Jakarta.

And Galuh accompanied his steps.

"Why still follow me anyway?!"

"I deliver until the cafe, yes, it's up to you if you want to stop by somewhere else first, I still want to accompany,"

"I'm not looking for anyone, right?!"

"Nobody's been after Hani,"

"Then why are you still here?"

Again he took a deep breath. The man immediately stepped faster and confronted Hanifa with a look of compassion.

"Sir, please listen to me this time. If Ms. Hani still doesn't like it, I won't bother her anymore,"

Hanifah stopped her steps and looked at Galuh with a frown. "Yes, please speak faster because we're on the side of the road,"

"I'm sorry for my treatment. Everything reflexes I do because I like the same Mama Hani. And I completely forgot that the position of Mbak Hani is quite difficult because it belongs to someone else. I'm used to vulgar Miss Susan and the women around me all being dynamic, so automatically assume all women are equal. So I hope Hani will forgive me. Next time I'll hold back,"

"I thought Galuh was humbling me,"

Hanifah looked at Galuh while considering the man's sincerity. He also thought of Galuh's hidden intentions towards him

"Mas Galuh,"

"Yes Ma'am?"

"Why do you like me? Aren't many beautiful women milling around Mas Galuh?"

"Why can't you like Hani?"

"I can't control the feelings of others. After all, David did not have any feelings for me even though he married me. But I frankly can't return the feelings Galuh,"

In his heart Hanifah thought that at this time he could not return Galuh's feelings. But perhaps the answer would have been different if she had been a widow. (Dammy)

"Then ..." Galuh rubbed his nape. He often does this when he is nervous. Moreover, he immediately remembered Indra's treatment which was so romantic when approaching Hanifah. Somehow Galuh became so protective of this unpretentious woman in front of him.

And actually, showing love so clearly is not her identity. Right now I am forcing myself. He was trying to slow down because he didn't want to push Hanifa too much, but he expressed his feelings first.

It turns out Galuh is easily provoked if the affairs of feelings.

Moreover, his rivals are more handsome men with attractive eyes, syu lickers, wooing and establishment equivalent to David Yudha.

Obviously I was scared first.

Today, there are rarely angels as attractive as Hanifa. Sometimes insecure but quick to rise, sometimes judes but in fact kind, sometimes his smile is only thin and calm it turns out he has an elegant sense of humor. And again, Galuh quickly fell out with the woman who was 'chosen' by her children.

Besides Susan.

Vini and Vici are familiar with Susan only because they know the woman from birth.

But the twins rarely agree when their father is close to another woman. They must always carry out the action of interrogating and even attacking the woman with a cynical look and blatantly refuse.

However, with Hanifa, they were instantly destroyed even at first sight.

"In that case, can I continue to expect Mbak Hani to be the mother of my children?"

Hanifa was silent for a moment. Then he got it wrong. Whether he wants to smile or just want to run away from Galuh, which he is obviously very embarrassed. He's never been seduced this romantic.

The feeling was strange, his heart was beating and as if a static electricity flow directly spread to the crown of his head.

This is what a veil is for. To avoid temptation like this. Hanifah thought, if he is without a veil like this, how much more will he spread sin to the men who are enamored with him when it is not appropriate to happen.

Hanifah was a married woman, every eye that looked at her, she would burden David with sin. And Hanifa could not bear it when that happened.

"Mas Galuh, if that's what you want, please ask directly to Mas David," said Hanifah finally. "I don't think I can answer that yet,"

Galuh grinned, "Mbak, does that mean Ma'am Hani would accept me if Mr. David said 'can'?"

"It seems like my words just represented everything, Mas," Hanifah said.

Galuh nodded, but he did not move from the presence of Hanifa. "So, can I take care of Ms Hani?"

Hanifah shrugged her shoulders.

"Then, how do we start by offering a ride, so that there are no more ignorant eyes staring at Mbak Hanifah?"

Hanifah sighed and took a step.

After that, while waiting for Galuh to return in his car, Hanifah waited beside the sidewalk while sending a message to David.

Abi,

David, I'm David,

Sorry distracting. Tomorrow morning if I want to talk about something.

Send.

Conteng two, blue, and instantly reply.

Okay, be careful on the way. Later go home with Galuh alone rather than alone ride transjakarta.

That was David's reply.

And that Hanifah considers that David indirectly allowed him to establish a special relationship with Galuh.

Then another notification was heard.

Another whatsap message from David.

Be careful with Indra Yodhayasa.

So said David. The sentence is quite short but Hanifah immediately understood the meaning.
