The Fading Love
Complicated

"I'm going to have lunch at home"

"want me to masakin what?"

"whatever you cook, I eat. All your cooking I like" maybe now my teeth are dry because of the frequent smile. Zidan's been calling since Aska and I got into the cab, it's almost home but Zidan hasn't decided on a call yet. Zidan also said that he wanted to have lunch at home, a rare moment in our household life, I would not waste this and I would make a menu of Zidan's favorite dishes.

"are you resting, Zi?"

"no, I checked the report again. Asks sleeping again?" I turned, Aska did not sleep but looked tired once my son's face, I wiped the sweat that was still left on my son's face.

"no ko, he's sitting in a henchman, it's really soy sauce"

"i don't want to hear his singing. How did you meet Khansa?"

"her daughter is a girl, she is very beautiful, Zi. I was really nervous, but just now in sleep, I couldn't hold it" I pursed my lips.

"want to make one that's funnier than Khansa's?" I coughed instantly, Zidan's words just made me choke on my own saliva.

"honey, you're not papa" maybe a cough that doesn't stop also makes Zidan worried. I reached for the Aska mineral bottled water that was in her bag pocket, thankfully there was still the rest.

"honey drink first, you cough that way" my phone still put in my ear, so I can still hear Zidan's voice.

"for your sake" I put down another bottle of Aska's drink.

"ko me anyway"

"you said that to make me choke on it" Zidan laughed sinlessly across the street, if he were in front of me right now, maybe I'd have covered his mouth with my hands, it sucks her behavior.

"sad..why laugh anyway"

"you're funny baby, the time in Ajakin makes the child so cough-cough that, rich newlyweds only you" the taxi stopped right in front of my house. The bag that I had missed put on my shoulder.

'i've arrived, I died in the first call of Assalamualaikum"

"waalaikumsallam, get ready to go home later we make baby girls more beautiful than Khansa's"

"whatever" I answered tightly before disconnecting the call.

Zidan smiled at the screen of his cellphone that was no longer connected to the wife across there. Reports piling up zidan shut down.

"I've hurt the feelings of my wife and son, I've marred my marriage with Inayah. I betrayed my wife by giving love to Karina. What I've done in the past has stuck me between Karina and Inayah" Zidan loosened his tie, which had further strangled his neck. He rests his tired body on the back of the chair. Zidan rubbed his face in frustration.

"what should I do now, my God, I love my son and my wife, but I also have the responsibility of being a jerk who ruined a woman's life in the past, I have to what god, I don't want to lose Inayah and Aska, I love them more than anything, I love my wife, I can never live without her..." Zidan said softly.

Past mistakes have left her stuck in a marriage she never wanted at all, the jealousy of seeing his beloved wife share a laugh with another man actually made him entangled on a long night with his own good friend.

Zidan never intended to betray Inayah, his heartfelt love for a wife, but somehow he lost control of seeing the wife very happy with another man made him spend a long night with Karina, and it ends with a demand for responsibility from Karina for the child in her birth.

"sorry Aya, all this time I continue to feel guilty for marrying Karina, I thought I would end my relationship with her after my son with Karina was old enough, without involving feelings in it. But in fact I was wrong Aya, I lost to my own lust, I reneged on the promise not to bring love to Karina..." The man was very frustrated with his own household situation, presenting two loves without Inayah's knowledge was the most wrong thing in his life.

"Zidan I'm pregnant!"

Zidan stood up instantly from his seat, the phone in his hand that was still in his hand just crashed "don't be crazy you're Karina!"

"I'M NOT CRAZY! I'M PREGNANT ZIDAN, I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD" Zidan rubbed his face of frustration, one hand resting on the corner of the table.

"gugurin" orders Zidan firmly, Karina immediately stood up, at the pull of Zidan's arm forcibly.

"WE'RE CRAZY HUH! YOU ASKED ME TO KILL OUR SON, THIS IS YOUR SON ZIDAN!"

"BUT I NEVER WANTED THE BOY, KARINA! " one slap landed on Zidan's left cheek.

Karina pointed at the face of Zidan who was looking at her sharply.

"you made me pregnant with Zidan, and now you're asking me to kill my son, ARE YOU CRAZY!"

"CONTINUE KSMU WANT APA HAH, WHAT KSMU EXPECT FROM ME" ornamental flowers on the table floated with emotion, thankfully the room was modified in such a way that it became a soundproof room.

"Married me" Zidan shook his head with a small smile.

"don't be crazy you're Karina, I'm married and my wife is pregnant big at home, I won't marry you" Zidan turned his back on Karina, Karina again moved to stand in front of Zidan, pull the suit that man was wearing.

"you fucked me, Zidan, you wreaked those jealous emotions on me, you took away my future, you ruined my life Zidan..." Karina was crying with her face against Zidan's chest, her hands banging on the chest of the field.

"my life is ruined Zidan, my life is a mess, who will marry a dirty woman like me, my parents' good names will be ruined, their big names will be ruined...." Zidan turned his face away, not wanting him to stare at the woman who was none other than his best friend was crying bitterly.

"sorry Karina, I can't marry you"

zidan's daydreams fell apart instantly as the door of his room was knocked.

"get in" a woman with a file in hand served as Zidan's private secretary.

"sir, I need your signature here" Zidan posted the signature in the area that his secretary showed

"anyone more?"

"it's over, sir"

"is there still an important schedule today"

"somewhere sir, I check first" the adult woman opened the tablet to check her boss's schedule.

"there is no sir, just a field check that you have to lead later in the afternoon"

"cancel that schedule, move it in another heart, I want to go home early today"

"well sir, excuse me"
