The Tears of Shafira
Chapter 19

“Enough!” shafira shouted at once, trying to separate the two men who secretly loved her.

“Please! Don't fight anymore, isn't it enough you guys hurt each other!” Shafira said while crying. He was already docked to the wall in the corner of the room, with a face that was teary-eyed.

Shafira wanted to break up the two men's fight, but her body was still weak so she was worried that she herself was hit by a raw bogem.

Erick turned to Shafira until there was pity in his heart. At the same time his mobile phone vibrated from his suit pocket. He stood up from the floor where he had locked Ardan earlier, looking at the screen of his phone. The name of the caller was Hendra.  

Outside the house, unlike Hendra's previous estimates, they had enough numbers to be able to fight Ardan's bodyguards one-on-one.

At the beginning of the fight looks balanced, over time Ardan's men can be defeated. However, the unavoidable thing was, the reinforcements that came over were unexpected. They have to get them back into a fight.  

Hendra wants to stop Ardan from running into his house, but his steps are stopped by a man who looks like a police officer. They fought with balanced strength.

While inside the villa, Erick already thought that Ardan could enter easily, it meant that his men were desperate out there. However, he ignored the affairs of the men he had entrusted to Hendra.  

Now he has to take care of Shafira, because that was his original goal.

Erick approached his wife and wiped the melted tears on her cheek with his finger. Shafira immediately turned her head back to avoid her husband's actions.

Of course Shafira was nervous about Erick's actions which suddenly turned soft. He was not used to such an attitude because before the husband was always rude, even when in bed, the man seemed to lose his feelings.

“Come home! I don't want your mother's spirit to be mad at me!” erick said with a big smile.  

He knew very well what was Shafira's weakness, that is, by relating everything to the late mother, so surely Shafira would be subject to him.

“Shafira, don't be fooled again by her, you know, right, she won't let go of Wulan just like that!” Ardan was already standing up, he said firmly restoring logic. Shafira should be able to realize the truth if she lives, in a state of a husband who wishes her love.

Ardan hoped that if Shafira would accept him, she would make him his only wife. However, he doubted whether the woman would accept him so easily.

Shafira is a very obedient person, and appreciates the decision of her mother who has passed away. Although Erick is guilty in reality, Shafira's kindness makes her obey her husband's request.

“Ardan, forgive me! Erick really, if I go away from him, then the late Mom can be mad at me because I disobeyed my husband!” shafira said, her voice sounding trembling and slow.

The girl did not not not know if she returned to Erick's house, then she would get oppression from her mother-in-law or from Wulan. However, there was little confidence in her heart and also great hope that her husband would change and would not hurt her like he used to.

“Shafira, Are you sure of your decision?” asked Ardan slightly hesitating, he still wanted to protect the woman because of the affection in his heart.

“Yes, I'm sorry, Ardan! I've been a hassle!”  

“Shafira, no need to apologize for making you happy is not a hassle!”

Suddenly Ardan's words touched Erick's heart, he noticed two people talking before him. The interaction between the two makes his brain think if it is true, between Ardan and Shafira does not have an affair, but just an ordinary friend.

His eyes blinked a few times when he saw Shafira's sparkling face, it was not willing if there was another man who could make her happy.  

A sense of regret suddenly infiltrated Erick's heart, but he tried to brush it off. His heart is flawed even if he has to accept Shafira, what about Wulan. He knew that she would not accept his first wife. Moreover, he had planned to divorce her if he knew Shafira made a mistake.

“Ardan, I still want to be friends with you, but I have to go back to my husband's house because this is a will from my mother! Again forgive me!” shafira said, guiltily.

“Yes, I get it! May you be happy Shafira ..!” Ardan said those words with a choking feeling in his heart. He has redeemed his love for Shafira with the most willing prayer.  

“May happiness be on Shafira's side, and I will be fine,” her inner self.

Erick clasped Shafira's shoulders gently, he raised his head triumphantly. It was selfishness that made him not say thank you or sorry at all, to Ardan. Although, it was obvious that the man saved and made Shafira much better.

“Erick!” said ketus.

“Ardan!” Shafira called out, fearing they would return to fight.

“Quiet!” erick said, he tightened his hand which was holding Shafira's shoulder. He could not fight Ardan this time, because one more hand was holding a mobile phone.

“Remember ...! I gave up this time because Shafira asked for it, but if you do the same thing again, then I won't stay silent! I have the same power as you! Don't be arrogant, you can't underestimate everyone!”

“I know!” Erick said while holding himself back as hard as he could, he was annoyed and jealous of the man before him, but now they had to make peace for Shafira's sake.

Erick could have divorced Shafira easily, as he had already made a big mistake. His wife left the house, it was inappropriate. However, on the other hand, his heart refused to divorce, he just wanted the woman back to his home.

Ardan removed his hand grip from Erick's collar, and let the two of them walk past him.

She saw the departure of the couple with a disappointed heart, because Shafira chose to return to her husband.

Ardan stared at Shafira's back and Erick walked away, as if it was a farewell one last time. However, the expectations are great if Shafira will be much better now. He knew that when he faced Erick, the man's eyes were soft on Shafira. So, chances are the man won't torture his wife again.

Arriving at the courtyard of the villa, Erick looked around where there were some of his men still fighting.

“Please stop your fights!” erick shouted loudly making some people stop their actions.

“Master! Are you okay?” Hendra shouted and ran closer to Erick, as a mainstay of course he was worried about his master. His face was battered but he remained strong and fine.

“I'm good, the mission this time is complete, you can go home!” erick said again, as he continued walking out of the gate and towards his roll royce car.

“Come!” Hendra shouted, gesturing to some of his comrades while waving his hands.

They returned home in their own vehicles, leaving the villa in a mess. Many children, Ardan's fruit breathed in relief, while rubbing the corners of their bleeding lips.

Now that the fight had been stopped, the other party had already gone home.  

The events of the day were similar to those of a war in which one of the parties took out a white flag until they let the other party out of the courtyard quietly.

In the afternoon, Shafira was already at the husband's house, but in the house there was still Wulan who made her very uncomfortable.

“Come! Come in your room, and just rest!” erick said after entering his house, holding Shafira's hand.  

“Can I really rest and sleep?” shafira asked hesitantly, he looked around the house, the situation was still the same as the last time he left.

“Ya!” answer Erick briefly.

Mirna and Wulan looked at the arrival of the two people with a pushy look. They can't believe Erick brought Shafira back to their house.

Previously Mirna and Wulan thought that if after knowing Shafira was at the house of Ardan—the man who became her affair, then Erick would divorce her right then and there.

But who would have thought they showed a different attitude, no hostility at all shown by Erick to his wife.

Wulan did not expect that this would be the end result. He regretted that he had come home first from the villa, after seeing the arrival of Ardan and his men. Erick is in the villa. She thought that Shafira would be scolded by her husband. At that time, he saw a fight between Ardan and Erick's men. He could judge if the strength of Erik's men was stronger and definitely won.

“Honey! Why would you take him home, anyway?” said Wulan, while pouring into Erick's arms.
