The Time Limit (12)
Adel, honey, are you not finished in the bathroom?", asked Sakha.
" A minute, Mommy", replied Adel
" Please put on my tie", Sakha slightly shouted.
Adel immediately approached Sakha and put away the testpack that has not seen the results.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Sakha was talking to someone on the phone. He sounds like he's talking about work. His left hand held a black tie.
Adel took the tie and immediately paired it. Seeing Adel on his tiptoes, Sakha immediately bent her body to be easily reached by his wife.
After a while passed, finally the tie was finished in pairs.
" Thank you" said Sakha, with a brief kiss on Adel's lips.
Adel's face was red. From yesterday much of Sakha's attitude was getting sweeter and warmer. It was seen that he really realized his words. Accept this marriage.
" Together", Adel smiled sweetly.
" Let's have lunch later" Sakha asked. " You go straight to the cafe, because I have a meeting with people who want to rent a cafe first. So, can't pick it up" explained Sakha.
" okay"
" Yes, I'm leaving right away. Sorry I can't have breakfast with you "
" It's okay" Adel answered while kissing Sakha's hand, then Sakha kissed Adel's forehead.
" Assalamu'alaikum "
" Wa'alaikumsalam "
Suddenly Adel's phone rang. Fitri called him to tell him that someone would come to the store to order a cake this morning. Finally, Adel immediately changed clothes and went to the store.
***
Adel had just finished meeting with the person who was going to order the cake. Notes regarding customer requests, he noted in detail after confirmation again so that the order is not wrong. Adel will hand over the task to his employees whom he has trained.
Adel looked at the clock which turned out to be almost lunchtime. He quickly cleaned his desk and picked up Sakha's cake. Sakha asks for her rainbow cake. Strange according to Adel, because Sakha does not really like sweet foods.
With Sakha's order, Adel goes to the Cafe, he goes straight to Sakha's private room. A place to receive important guests as well as a place where Sakha rests. There is a room with a bed next to it.
However, his steps came to a halt when he faintly heard the sound of a woman crying.
" Don't cry! Everything's gonna be okay!". Adel clearly heard that it was Sakha's voice.
"Can you still accept me? You still love me?", asked the woman.
"I love you no matter what your condition",
The deg!
Adel sculpting. Who is the woman inside? Is that Lisa? Did Mas Sakha come back to Lisa?. Adel wondered in his heart.
Gathering courage, Adel opened the door slowly. Until finally he could see Sakha who was hugging a woman tightly. Even kissed the woman.
"You just calm down. I'll always be by your side, baby".
Jimbb!!
Sakha's words were clearly heard in Adel's ears. Heart menceos. True to his expectations, that somehow he will lose to Lisa when he returns in Sakha's life. Crystal grains flowed down Adel's cheeks.
Adel immediately left without wanting to see and hear more drama in front of him.
If I have found her again, then at that very moment this marriage is over.
Suddenly Adel remembered Sakha's words a few hours after they got married.
Is this the time? The deadline you set? In fact, at first I wanted to talk about this matter so that everything was clear. Especially when you invite us to start from the beginning of our relationship. But I guess now it's not necessary. You obviously still love her. While my position means nothing to you, it's just the new wife you want to try to love. Yeah, just wanted to try. Adel smiled bitterly.
After washing his face to look fresher, Adel went to the cashier.
" Titip this for Pak Sakha yes", Adel handed the package of cakes to Satria he met.
" I don't think. Sakha sir has a guest. It's not good to disturb. Titip order only. Please tell Mr. Sakha, I'm sorry I couldn't keep my lunch promise today. There is a sudden business", Adel replied immediately went from there because he did not want to be caught by Sakha that he was already in the cafe.
After Adel came out and was still in the cafe parking lot, he saw Sakha running while holding a woman with an anxious face. However, Adel frowned when he saw that she was pregnant.
The deg!
Adel and Sakha look at each other. However, I don't know if Sakha is conscious or not. Because not long after, Sakha's car passed by.

In the afternoon, Sakha returned to the cafe. With a tired face he stepped into the cafe.
" Sir, this is a day from Ms. Adel, he said Bu Adel apologized for not being able to keep his promise to have lunch together because there was a sudden affair", explained Satria who stopped Sakha's steps.
Sakha. Lisa's affairs make her forget her lunchtime appointment with Adel.
" thank you"
"Either. Excuse me", Sakha just nodded and continued her steps.
Arriving in her room, Sakha opened the package containing her ordered rainbow cake. Cake wrapped in a cardboard box with the words Dandelion Cake Shop, Adel's cake shop.
Sakha momentarily fell silent and took out the memo paper inside.
...Sorry I couldn't accompany you to lunch. Thank you for giving me such wonderful memories yesterday, for letting me feel loved by my own husband....
...But, seeing today's surprise I realized, it's time....
...Enjoy the cake....
...Your Ex-wife...
...Dandelion...
The deg!
Ex-wife? Whatdoes thatmean?. Sakha's mind glared. Suddenly he felt something bad was going to happen. His chest throbbed pain.
" Tuutt's.... Tutt.... Tuutt" Sakha tries to call Adel. But, his call was not raised.
Sakha tried again.
" The number you are going to is not active" , suddenly Adel's phone is not active.
Sakha started to worry. He ran out not forgetting to bring a packet of cookies in his hand. He wondered what really happened. Thinking as hard as he could, he found no answer.
" Satria, what time was my wife here?", asked Sakha to approach Satria.
" Hmm, that must have been before you brought Miss Lisa to the hospital" Satria replied confidently.
The deg!
Did Adel see me with Lisa earlier? ask Sakha in my heart.
" Did he get to my room?", asked Sakha, beginning to be alarmed.
" I know less. But, if you hear what Ms. Adel said, it looks like she had gone to your room ", explained Satria.
" sthat mean?"
" Abu Adel said not to give directly because he did not want to disturb you who are receiving guests" replied Satria.
So, Adel really saw me with Lisa? Did she also see me holding Lisa while she was being taken to the hospital?
O Allah, Sakha rubbed her face violently. That was really Adel, not my hallucination. Sakha was getting worried. It was like seeing Adel when he was going to take Lisa to the hospital. But he thought it was just a hallucination.
" Are you okay?", asked Satria worriedly.
"It's okay. You can go".
Sakha's phone rang, indicating the mother's name. With a pounding heart, Sakha picked up the phone.
" I'm home now!. Wa'alaikumsalam".
