The Delayed Soul
Chapter 49

In the afternoon, Andini really came to the boutique. As much as possible Adel remained professional. In his heart he felt really bad. Wholeheartedly make a dream dress of women who are now looking at the results of her work with sparkling eyes because satisfied with the results.

But, behind the woman, Adel keeps a big secret about his feelings that might just shatter Andini's current smile.

"It's really good, Del. As I wish. Pas, perfect! Mas Varel will definitely like it a lot when I wear this later. So can't wait to wear it on our wedding day" exclaimed Andini, currently he was looking at the image of himself trying on the dress in front of his big mirror in front of him.

Unknowingly, a single tear fell from the corner of Adel's eye. Does it destroy the happiness of the woman. But, he also did not want Varel to be tormented by the marriage. If the marriage happens, not only will she and Varel suffer, but Andini will suffer. In a hurry he wiped his tears.

Adel smiled and approached Andini, "You will definitely be very beautiful in this dress" she said.

Adel keeps looking at the screen of his phone, because today Varel will return from out of town. But, the man since last night had no news, really making him fret.

"Del, don't you want to go back yet? It's afternoon! The children have also come home" said Shahila, who only poked her head from behind the door.

"Oh, this is getting ready to go home. Go ahead," replied Ade

"Don't want to take me?" tawar Shahila who brought her own car gift from her brother.

"No, I ordered a taxi. Just come back,"

"Oh, if so, I'll go first. Uh, ntar night out yuk! Ever since I got back we haven't hung out together,"

"By," said Adel.

"Okay, I'll pick you up at eight, bye beb!" Shahila disappeared behind the door.

Adel hurriedly packed his things. Then leave the room. He'll be waiting for his online taxi to be booked downstairs.

Up home, Adel was a little surprised because the door was not locked," Has Varel come home yet? But the lights are not on, it's dark gini," he muttered as he stepped in and turned on the living room lights. On the sofa he saw Varel's suit lying just like that, he thought. Usually the man dislikes messing up the most.

Adel went straight to the kitchen for a drink.

As he was about to step on the stairs, he turned his head, looking towards Varel's room. The door was slightly open, it seemed like the man had really gone home. He decided to continue his steps to his room. Ignoring his curiosity. Although in his heart he was disappointed, if it was true that the man had gone home why not greet him. Didn't miss him, he thought.

Until nightfall, when Adel was preparing to wait for Shahila to come pick him up, he did not see the nose of the man who two days ago declared his feelings.

Adel who was sitting on the living room sofa continued to look towards Varel's room, but the man did not come out too even though his neck was sore because he had to turn his head. He took his phone from the bag, still no chat or call from Varel.

In his heart he began to worry and fear. Afraid that Varel would cancel his intention to talk to Andini. What the man should have done this afternoon according to his promise to meet Andini when he came home. There is a fear that Varel will abandon his decision and will remain married to Andini. But, he could be anything but resigned and accepted.

Feeling unsettled, Adel finally chose to see the man in his room because the door was not locked. He was astonished that the man's room lamp was also not on, "Om, inside? How come the lights aren't on?" he said as he felt the wall next to the door to look for a switch.

Adel was surprised that Varel was sleeping curled up in his bed, "Gosh, um.." he immediately approached and touched the man's forehead, very hot, "Om fever? Since when? Why don't you call me, anyway?" said Adel. But Varel did not answer.

"I called the doctor, the demon was this high," Adel was about to call Rasel to call the doctor home, but Varel prevented him by holding his hand, "No need, I'm fine," he said half conscious of the heat.

Varel shook his head, "I don't like to take medicine" he said, "Please," he continued pleading.

Finally Adel undoes his intention to contact Rasel. He called Shahila and cancelled his plans to leave with his best friend.

He went to the kitchen to get a small basin and water to compress Varel.

The day is getting late, but the heat of the varel has not yet come down. Precisely the man was getting higher fever until unconscious delirious. He pulled the hand of Adel who wanted to put the basin where the water in the nightstand because he had just changed the Varel compress.

"Del, don't go, don't stay with me. Don't go, I love you, but why you go, you have the heart. You don't love me?" rancau Varel was unconscious.

Adel sat back on the edge of the bed and held Varel's hand which gripped him firmly. He did not expect that the man in front of him was so hurt by his passing first,"Sorry me, om. Excuse me. I also love the same om, since long ago until now, and maybe in the future this will accumulate more," he said. I don't feel her tears just dripping.

"Where will this complicated story end, I can't be sure we can be together, um. If we are selfish in staying together, then there will be another woman who gets hurt, Andini will get hurt. But, if I were to leave again, the three of us would be equally injured in the end. Which one should I choose?" inner Adel.

Last night Adel took care of Varel, did not feel he fell asleep on the side of the man who still did not open his eyes.

Adel blinked his eyes many times until his consciousness recovered, "Geez, I fell asleep" he murmured. His hand picked up the towel that was stuck to Varel's forehead and at the man's touch, "The heat has gone down, but why hasn't he woken up yet?" his inner.

Adel went into the bathroom in Varel's room to urinate and wash his face. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Andini was already in Varel's room. He sat down and held the man's hand. It was obvious that Andini was also worried about Varel.

" Andini?" greet Adel. He was quite surprised to see Andini who was already there. If their relationship is still fine, it means that there have been no serious talks between Varel and Andini about their marriage. Maybe Varel hasn't had time to say it yet, Adel thought trying to stay calm.

Andini turned and smiled, but the smile was uncomfortable for Adel, "Thank you for taking care of Mas Varel, but you should have been my hububgi last night, let me take care of my future husband," said Andini.

Adel felt, Andini's tone was a little different, more cynical, but the woman's lips kept smiling.

"You can go now, let me take care of Varel," continued Andini before Adel could explain anything.

"Well then, excuse me!" pamit Adel's.

"Hem," said Andini briefly. He ignored Adel who passed behind him.

Adel paused for a moment at the door before exiting, then turned, "Chealing fast, om" his inner self.

Moments after Adel came out, Varel began to open his eyes.

"Mas, you're awake?" andini.

Varel did not reply, he spread his gaze to look for Adel. Not finding the figure, he was staring at Andini.

"You were here last night?" ask Varel.

Andini nodded, "Of course, I took care of you all night, mas. Who else?" said.

Varel only smiled faintly and nodded, he stared at the door, "See, did I just dream of you here last night, Del?" his inner.
