The Time Limit (13)

Sakha's phone rang, indicating the mother's name. With a pounding heart, Sakha picked up the phone.

" I'm home now!. Wa'alaikumsalam".

Meanwhile in the hospital, Lisa is undergoing a cesarean section to remove her baby. This is because Lisa's condition is not possible to give birth normally.

Outside the room where the operation was taking place, a man was sitting in the waiting chair with worry. Worried about Lisa's condition and her son's also worried about his relationship with his best friend. He's Yudi. Yes, it was Yudi who had been hiding Lisa all this time.

She meets Sakha who is waiting for Lisa. Seeing Yudi coming, Sakha left without asking anything. However, from the look in his eyes, there was an aura of disappointment and anger.

Yudi is a womanizer, who always changes women. That day he was accidentally met with Lisa by his coworkers who also have the same hobby. They were both surprised when they met.

The flashback

"You need me to channel hasr@tmu and I need money. Isn't that mutually beneficial?", asked Lisa without burden. The person in front of him is the friend of his lover.

" But you're Sakha's boyfriend? How could I do that with you?", Yudi was confused. He did not want to betray his friend.

" If you shut up, he won't know what we're doing. But, if you don't want to be no problem, your friend has already paid me in full. So, want it or not, I have nothing to lose" Lisa explained, not caring at all.

Yudi was silent, suddenly he remembered the words of his coworkers who praised Lisa's extraordinary work. Work in quotes.

Doesn't that mean I wasn't the first to do that with him? . Means I didn't really betray Sakha, Lisa herself who had betrayed her for offering herself. Inner Yudi.

" Alright", finally Yudi and Lisa did as they planned.

They did it last night without coercion. The hotel room was a witness.

Yudi finally admitted that Lisa was experienced. She's not the innocent woman Sakha thinks she is. There is a sense of pity on Sakha, how could she fall in love with Lisa. But the answer is clear. Sakha doesn't know what Lisa did.

" If you want to be my partner, then I want to pay more than you offer. Just so you serve me. Not accepting anyone else for this month", I don't know what's on Yudi's mind for having this crazy idea.

" Ok", Lisa answered without much thought. That meant that he did not have to wait and look for the person who would use his services this one month. A lucrative offer for Lisa .

Until one night when they went to the Club and got drunk, they did it without the usual safety. Until finally the fetus is present without the expectation of both.

Flashback off

***

In the living room at Sakha's residence, Sakha and Mama Ria were still silent after a while ago Sakha came.

Sakha did not dare to directly ask the mother. Although there were many questions he wanted to ask about Adel, none were spoken. Looking at the mother's eyes and still remaining traces of tears on her face, she became unbearable.

Just two sentences. But, it makes Sakha even more riled up.

" What does mama mean? Adel my wife, let's not go far, just go outside the house she needs my permission", Sakha is not that easy to believe. Hasn't Adel always had permission for her wherever she went?

" Have you forgotten? When you met Lisa this afternoon, Adel was not your wife?!", replied Mama Ria growled.

The deg!

Suddenly he remembered his words after marrying Adel.

If I have found her again, then at that very moment this marriage is over.

Saw Sakha who was just silent. Mama Ria spoke again.

" When you say it like that, you say the word talak. Conscious or not, you Sudak dropped one talak on Adel. The talaq applies because you have found Lisa" explained Mama Ria.

Sakha could not deny anything. Because that statement is true. He himself did not realize that his words were the words of talaq.

" We ask you to marry Adel, because we have in our eyes, Adel has a good person. He will be able to respect you as a husband. You also have known each other for a long time so, it will not be difficult even if there is no love. As for Lisa, in our eyes, she won't be able to respect you as a husband. Mama saw her arrogance and arrogance from being born into a rich family. Not to mention seeing him several times being friendly with different men you said his brother, mama is getting unsure of his personality..."

Sorry, Mom is right. Lisa's not as good as I thought. I've been blinded by love until I don't want to hear what you're saying, Sakha's mind is getting more guilty.

" It's not that Mama hates Lisa, it's just a mother's premonition ". Sakha is getting down on her keb0d0hannya. " I'm sorry I forced you to marry Adel. From now on, Mama will leave all the decisions to you. Mama won't force you to fight for Adel", clear details flow from the corner of Mama Ria's eyes. " If parting will make you both happy, Mama's okay. The late father also understood. Mama realized, this marriage is you who live it. Well according to mama, not necessarily good you think. It's enough you hurt Adel by blatantly looking for and loving another woman. Even though you never said rude or light-handed, you already hurt her" Mama Ria explained with tears.

Sakha approached Mama Ria and kneeled in her arms. Her heart ached when she saw her tears flowing. Especially all because of it.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sakha, Ma", pinta Sakha in a rather hoarse voice.

" Mom doesn't want to be selfish. Now, think carefully, what is your decision. Let Adel calm himself. God willing, she'll be fine wherever she is." Mama Ria gently rubbed the back of her beloved son. " Whatever your decision is, Mama won't interfere. Just so you're happy. Even if you choose to marry Lisa, Mama will approve of her. The important thing is that you must consider it well, lest you regret it", Mama Ria soon passed leaving Sakha alone.

Although Mama Ria wants Adel to remain her daughter-in-law, but she does not want to be selfish.

Tonight, the sky looks clear. A woman sits on a wooden bench breathing the fresh air of the countryside and the sound of crickets.

" This, drink the sweet tea first", someone came from inside the house carrying two glasses of warm sweet tea. " I'm sorry the condition of the house is like this", he added while sitting down.

" It's okay. This is more than enough. Sorry to bother you ", said the blue-hooded girl to her best friend.

" It's okay. Besides, this house has not been occupied since I worked in the city" he replied

" Is it okay to live alone here?", he asked to confirm.

" I'm fine. I do need some calmness", he said with a sweet smile.
