The Imperfect Story
Chapter 19

Finished calming Zayn down and putting the child to sleep, Vita returned home. He entered the room where the lights were already dim, Ismail turned out to have closed his eyes on his bed.

Vita immediately cleaned herself and went up on the soft mattress. Ishmael, who felt movement on his bed, opened his eyes and smiled when he saw a loved one coming home.

"Just come home, honey?" asked Ismail with a distinctive voice just waking up.

"Hm." Vita's voice without a throb. She immediately went into the blanket and turned her back to her husband.

"You're still mad at me?" ask Ismail with the body that began to stand and lean on the pile of pillows.

"Yes, I'm so angry. Why can you do that to Kia?" bentak.

"I'm doing this because of you, honey. If it wasn't for you forcing me to marry him, this would never have happened." Ismail said by wiping his hair's mane backwards.

"Can't you just love her a little?" vita turned around and looked into her husband's eyes.

"I've tried so hard, but his attitude makes it hard to love him. You should understand, right?" ismail said while bowing his gaze.

"Yes, right. Even until now I have not fully loved you." said Vita with a flat expression.

Seven years ago~

A few months after graduation, in a cafe held a reunion of their class. Zaskia and Devita attended the event together, not to forget Ismail and Reyhan also attended.

The show went well, because there was a microphone and some other musical electronic equipment, so not a few who enlivened by donating songs, now it was Reyhan's turn to present a song.

"Good night guys, I want to sing for you guys" Reyhan said.

"Duet dong, let's exclaim!" said one of them.

"Kia, let's get a duet! Your voice is melodious." Reyhan said using a microphone in his hand until everyone present heard.

Kia crossed her arms in front of her face a sign of not wanting to. But everyone increasingly called out to accept Reyhan's offer.

"Duet, duet, duet!" exclaiming everyone made Kia forced to stand up to respond to the invitation.

"All right, one song, huh?" kia said.

"Singing was first. If they ask again, it's out of my control." Reyhan's tease makes Kia tick.

"Good, everybody. We will perform a song called 'Terlukis Indah', special for people who are very 'Special" Reyhan said as he glanced at Devita. But Devita is not so attentive because it is cool with her phone which has received many incoming notifications from her phone.

Music began to play, everyone fell silent and noticed the two people standing on the small stage available.

"When I first met him, there was a different taste." The first lyrics were sung by Reyhan. Sound that sounds comfortable in the ear.

"I look at your face without hesitation ... I began to blush." boisterous sounds started to be heard because Zaskia's voice was so melodious, there were even some people who felt goosebumps because of the beautiful voice.

"Oh, this is my first love, oh ... No one's gonna be able to change, all this to you." Reyhan and Zaskia sang together facing each other, making the audience feel there was a chemistry between them.

"I began to feel a sense of love, a Love that grows in every moment ... I painted a true story, so that it wouldn't end." the sound of applause was so echoing, it felt like they were watching a concert by a famous artist.

Hearing all forms of praise given by his friends, Devita felt uncomfortable and jealous. He began to switch seats next to Ishmael, who was sitting alone.

"You bored?" tanya Ismail opened the conversation.

"Yes, that's it. I also want to go home." said Devita while staring at Zaskia and Reyhan who still continue his impromptu concert.

"Come, I'll take you." Ishmael offered himself nervously, afraid of being pushed back.

"Come on!" Devita also stood up and spurred his pace quickly to get out of the cafe.

Ishmael opens the door for Devita. The woman felt a little awkward because it felt too privileged. Reyhan never did that because if they walk together, they only use a motorcycle.

"Thank you." said Devita smiling.

"Your welcome, Baby." said Ismail with a sweet smile, then run his car left the cafe.

"I don't want to go home yet, how about we go to a karaoke place?" the proposal Devita and Ismail also who got the opportunity did not want to waste it.

When cooking in there, Devita immediately sang a song, the song she chose was all themed breakup.

Ismail just listened and did not want to disturb, he decided to go to the toilet for a while. Soon a waiter came with a bottle of wine.

Thirsty from the amount of sound and energy wasted, Devita grabbed the bottle and took a sip.

Devita felt dizzy, her eyesight cast a shadow, walking staggered. Ismail who just came to see the strangeness of Devita took the initiative to check it. Who would have thought that the incident brought destruction to Devita.

Meanwhile at the cafe, Zaskia and Reyhan had just finished his concert session. When they returned to their seats, they did not find Ishmael and Devita there.

"Is Vita home, huh?" ask Kia while trying to call her best friend's number.

"No lift" he added after the voice of the connected operator's woman.

"Hallo. Where are you, Mail?" rey asked after Ismail picked up his phone number.

"I've come home, Devita also I have delivered to her house." said Ismail from across the street.

"OK, thank you for dropping him off and sorry to bother you" Reyhan said without any suspicion. So did Zaskia who breathed a sigh of relief.

Three months later~

"I have to how, I'm pregnant now!" devita looks frustrated.

"You calm down, I'll take responsibility, I'll marry you." Ishmael tries to calm the crying Vita, when they meet in a city park.

"I can't, Mail! I can't take you away from Zaskia who likes you so much! I will abort this baby." said Vita lirih accompanied by a rush of tears.

"I love you, Vita. Not Zaskia! Please do not kill our flesh and blood. I'll marry you, I'll take responsibility."

"But-"

"I'll do anything you want to marry me and keep this child." Ishmael bowed at Vita's feet.

"Well, marry Zaskia first." pinta Vita with a flat face whose eyes are still pooled.

"I don't love him!" cetus Ishmael.

"Well, I'll drop it."

"Okay, okay. For your sake I would marry her. But I will not guarantee to live happily with him. There will be a time when we will be apart." Ishmael responded with a heavy heart to receive.

"I don't care, at least you're actually marrying her."

"I'll see Reyhan one last time" he asked after a moment of silence.

"Okay, I'll drive you."

Now that Reyhan and Devita meet, Reyhan initially smiles very sweetly. But that smile was slowly erased from his handsome face upon hearing the decision from his Beloved.

"Let's break up!" Devita.

"Decap? Did I make a mistake until you wanted our relationship to end?" reyhan asked with reddened eyes and a little glazed over.

"I'm tired. I don't think we're fools." said Devita.

"What kind of reason is that? If I'm wrong, say it. Let me fix it." Reyhan held Vita's hand but the woman brushed him off.

"I'm sick of you. So I hope, get away from me and respect my last decision." Devita leaves Reyhan without waiting for an answer.

"Well, I'll respect your decision." Reyhan murmured inwardly. Disappointed, sick and curious filled her but she also could not be selfish to ask her lover back.

After severing his relationship with Reyhan, Vita asks Ismail to immediately propose to Zaskia. Even Vita who prepared everything for the success of the proposal.

A week after marrying Zaskia, Ismail married Devita without Zaskia's knowledge. As for Reyhan, he chose to go abroad.
