The Fading Love
a different kind of warmth

We tell stories at length, about marriage, family, career, and more. We both really let go of the longing that years did not meet.

the funny thing is, Kansa instead married his arch-nemesis while at school, our former classmate, his name is Fakhri. Kansa hates Fakhri, Kansa considers Fakhri a lot of talk, but now they will soon be gifted children. Funny to remember when Kansa and Fakhri fought in class.

Kansa will stay in Jakarta again, he said, because Fakhri was transferred, we also exchanged phone numbers, we could meet often later, I was very happy, I was very happy, at least I have a close friend now.

We had to split because Kansa had a schedule for the gynaecology check, Aska my son was also tired and sleepy, sure enough when he arrived home, Aska immediately ran into the room and went to sleep as well, while I arranged the groceries I had bought.

I'd like to rest for a while, it's quite tiring today, but it's also happy. Aska and I had a good time together, and I was reunited with my old High School friend Kansa.

In the room I checked my phone again, hoping for news from Zidan, but there was not a single call coming from Zidan, but I was so hoping Zidan called even to just tell me.

....

One week has passed, until this second, not once Zidan raised my call, neither did Zidan contact me, be it a call or a short message from him.

"you're so busy, Zi, that you don't have time to tell me, I'm worried about you Zi" I don't have a number to call right now, I don't know a single number of people who work in Zidan's office.

I've decided that if Zidan doesn't hear back tomorrow, I'll go to my in-laws' house to just ask, Zidan's dad must know about Zidan.

I know I'll be expelled like before, but Zidan's father doesn't really mind my relationship with his son, although he doesn't approve of it either, but at least, Zidan's father isn't as hard on Zidan.

I'll wait until tomorrow, and I hope Zidan has news.

Whichever wife does not worry about her husband leaving for work but until now there is no news he got, I am afraid something happened, or Zidan was sick for example.

POV Author

Elsewhere, Zidan, who is so worried about Inayah, has fun with Karina and their daughter.

The three of them are enjoying the remaining one week by taking a walk, buying souvenirs, enjoying the natural scenery in Lombok is soothing.

They had just returned to the villa after being tired all day playing at the beach. Nesha who was too happy did not want to be invited home, this was Karina had to be angry first Nesha according to.

Zidan dried his hair with a towel, he looked at Karina who was doing facial treatment from afar, the corner of Zidan's lips lifted into a smile, her hands folded in front of her chest.

"why dear, it's beautiful so it's not necessary to see Napa" Zidan threw the towel he held earlier on the sofa, Zidan stepped closer to the wife who looked moody ever since they entered the villa.

Zidan pulled out a chair and he put it behind Karina, Zidan sat on the chair, Zidan wrapped his hands around Karina's slender waist, Zidan stacked his head on the neck of the wife.

"why the hell, hm?"

"my face is scorched, ayyhh"

"whichever is the gap, no tuh, still pretty tuh"

"for your son, you don't want to go home" Zidan laughed, his hair was still a little wet back, a kiss landed on Karina's left cheek.

"why is it that I'm guilty of my son?"

"your child does not want to be brought home, my face becomes a hanker" Karina tried to release Zidan's embrace, but the man actually tightened his embrace.

"you who invited me to play with Nesha to the beach, so don't blame Nesha who finally won't go home because our son never played on the beach, baby" said Zidan so softly.

"just hold on your child, just keep fighting" Karina managed to break away from Zidan, with her face still bent, Karina towards the table not far from the window, there Karina lit a candle of soothing therapeutic scent. While Zidan went up to the bed, Zidan saw many incoming calls from Inayah that he refused, not only calls, but incoming messages as well, it was all on Karina's orders. Karina who was done with her business also joined Zidan, in the lyrics sharp Zidan who focuses on his phone.

"just watch out for you to dare to call him" Zidan immediately put his phone on Nakas, he turned to hug Karina, the woman who had managed to seize the place of Inayah in his heart.

"no, baby, no. Now that I'm time for you guys, I won't spoil our precious time by contacting Inayah" Karina smiled proudly, she rubbed Zidan's face.

"thank you darling"

"iya" silent for a moment, the two couples just hugged each other, Zidan actually really wanted to contact Inayah, Zidan knew Inayah must have been very waiting for news, but he does not want his precious vacation with Karina and Nesha to be broken if Karina knows Zidan breaks his promise.

"honey, call Karina with her head up.

"Hem, why?"

"tomorrow we're shopping for souvenirs that many yes" Zidan nodded.

"i don't want you to buy something for the woman or for the child" Karina said firmly.

"loh why honey, I buy souvenirs for them also can not?"

"the shop can't! it's the holidays of the three of us, me, you, Nesha. I don't want to remember those two people, I don't want to ruin our vacation, I don't want to!" Karina emphasized her last sentence. Zidan was completely out of thought with this woman in front of him, but if not followed, Karina would continue to discuss it until they came home later, later, even their parents can interfere because Karina complains and ends up in a fight that Zidan does not want.

"promise, don't have anything to do with those two people on our vacation" Zidan was finally able to nod obediently, agreeing with his second wife's words.

"thank you" Inayah then kissed Zidan's lips, a sign of his gratitude and victory.

Two different circumstances from both wife and son-ana Zidan, one sleeping soundly in Zidan's arms, are, while the other one must continue to feel anxiety because until now has not received any news from the beloved husband.

Inayah does not know if at this time, the man she believes is enjoying warmth with other women in different places.
