The Delayed Soul
Chapter 68

Adel could see Varel's face changing as he asked Andini. The man did not immediately answer, making Adel curious.

Suddenly, Tristan jumps into Adel's lap.

"Tristan, here! Don't flirt!" Varel.

"It's okay, om" said Adel. He just confirmed the position of Tristan who sat on his lap.

He looked back at Varel, he was waiting for an answer to his question earlier.

"Andini, he... Fine, very good. Even now he's not sick anymore" Varel replied later.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that, um," said Adel.

"I mean she... God loves him more" Varel explained. Which surprised Adel.

"Sorry, I guess.. I'm so sorry for Andini's departure, um. The stoic om, huh?" Adel suddenly pity Tristan. The little boy had to lose his mother, Adel thought.

Maybe that's why Tristan looks immediately interested in him, maybe because the child misses the figure of a mother, Adel thought again.

He also felt sorry for Varel, raising a child alone must have been very difficult.

Seeing the look on Adel's face, Varel felt he had to straighten something. However, before he spoke again, Adel turned his head as his name was called.

"That's my order ready!" said Adel. It turned out that the waitress of the restaurant could not be cooperated with any longer by Varel.

Adel immediately lowered Trista and stood up to take her order.

"I go first, om!" adel said after taking his order. Because he ingay Shahila was waiting for him in the car. Not forgetting he rubbed Tristan's cheeks gently and smiled before he left.

"Awen...." Varel blocked Adel's wrist. The woman stopped and looked.

"When can we meet again?" ask Varel. I think this meeting was too short. He still wanted to discuss many rights with the woman.

"If fate wills, we will meet again" Adelia smiled.

"Where are you staying now?" asked Varel again, still not willing to take his hand off.

"I'm staying with Shahila, sorry I have to go now, om!" Adel looked at Varel's hand that was still holding his wrist, the man immediately took it off with a heavy heart.

"Sister prett!" exclaimed Tristan, he also did not want to see Adel go.

Adel rubbed his cheek again, "Later if there is a chance for us to meet again, we go to your mama's grave, huh?" he said then gently rubbed the boy's head before he actually left.

Tristan only agreed even though he did not understand what was meant by the woman who always adorned the screen of the brother's phone.

Varel saw it unwillingly, but there were still many questions he asked and waited, Adel said he lived with Shahila? Does that mean he lives with the echo too? Don't-don't... Varel's mind became completely unsettled.

Suddenly he panicked and was afraid. He had to go home immediately and urged Lidya to contact Syafira, he wanted the woman to tell him what happened. During this time, Syafira never once wanted to tell her where Adelia even her phone number was never loved.

Syafira is actually sprained and disappointed with Varel so he does not want his sister to return to contact with Varel in any form. He did not want Adelia to be hurt and disappointed again. To that end, Syafira chose to hide any facts from Adel and Varel that he knew. Enough to reach him, he never forwarded to others including when Andini died on the day of his wedding with Varel.

Syafira deliberately did not give Adel taju, he wanted his brother to achieve his happiness elsewhere. Adel had suffered enough all this time, Syafira thought.

"It's been a long time, Del. Maghku's hunt is down!" namel Shahila shortly after Adel got into his car.

"It's been a long time" replied Adel.

Shahila drove her car straight to her house.

His ignorance during these three years about the man who even now still occupies his heart, really makes him not know anything, including about the death of Andini.

Undeniably, there is a certain amount of disappointment in him because it turns out that from their marriage there is a child. That means that the man is really trying to be a good husband like a husband to Andini during his life.

Although sincere, but it turns out jealousy still scratches him.

"So I met Varel when I took this away," said Adel later. He felt the need to share his story with his friend.

"Seriously, lo?"

Adel nodded.

"Certainly? You guys got a chance to talk? How's the wedding, still going?" ask Shahila curious.

"Andini is dead" said Adel.

"Good! Ops! I mean innallahi wainnailaihi rojiun," said Shahila keceplosan pointed to his excitement. How not, because Andini's selfishness makes him have to take care of the boutique alone all this time. Yes, although Adel actually still works through online, but still Shahila feels overwhelmed. Especially after his brother, Gema decided to settle in this last two-know country quarter.

"Two dong ya, now om om lo, really already om-om now. Still cool isn't it? Duren didn't?" ask Shahila who is getting curious.

Adel did not answer, because for him Varel looks still the same, even now looks more mature, let alone the status of the man who he thought as a young papa or can be said hot daddy, especially now, the aura is getting more and more unsettling. Adel did not deny that right.

"Look up, definitely think about the duren again, huh? Cool widower!"

"What the hell, no, who else thinks about Varel,"

"Well, did I mention a name? Duren isn't just a doang, Del," Shahila's god.

Adel chuckled, "You haven't really seen Om Varel, Sha? As long as I'm gone, don't you hear about his wife's death?" ask Adel curious.

"No, since you left, I blocked the people who were close to him, including Rasel, I feel hurt. Because of him you so go, but already in belain nyiain my brother who is sincere same lo, like upset myself I tuh. So mending I avoid them" replied Shahila.

Once Shahila almost passed Rasel somewhere, but he immediately dodged by staring back at Rasel first from a distance.

" Apes-apes, what am I wrong, why is ShaShaku so antipathy like me" Rasel murmured at the time. He ventured after Shahila and questioned her attitude.

"Because of Rasel's friends, my best friend suffered. So better mas Rasel do not need to show face in front of me again, fearing you become the ingredients of my tantrums if again tired because of the work that I have to handle myself!"

"But Sha, now Varel..."

"Go! Or I'll hate Rasel forever!" cut Shahila, but Rasel wants to tell about the status of Varel's widower. But seeing Shahila's frustration and anger over what happened to Adel, Rasel relented and left. Since then they have never met again. Maybe it wasn't their fate to be fooled.

In the end they are busy with their respective affairs, Shahila with a rapidly growing boutique that can not be separated from the hard work of Adelia in far away as well. Rasel who is also getting busy after his position rose to become a deputy General Manager and also his cafe which now has several branches.

"So you don't know about Tristan?"

Adel's question disperse Shahila's daydreams.

"Tristan? Which guy is it? The guy you made a runaway again? Udah deh, if you have not been able to move on, mending honest aja. Duda is fine too!" celoteh Shahila's.

"Ck, Tristan was his son about Varel with Andini" said Adel.

"What's? So, widower son one? Ck, you have to raise a bad girl's son dong if you go back with Varel?"

"Sssst, it can't be. It's not good to know someone who doesn't exist,"

"Eventually like to be upset if you remember how selfish the same you used to be. Not expect it, he said Varel love lo lo, but for children also the same Andini. That guy!"

Adel fell silent, which Shahila said. But, it's just fine, isn't it? They're a couple, where's the fault if you have children? He also asked Varel to try to accept Andini as his wife.
