The Time Limit (26)

" Just Ma, if Mas Sakha's attitude to Lisa first, it's just a bucin" explained Adel without sin. Mama Ria and Sakha looked directly at Adel.

" What's the difference?" mama Ria asked at last.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

" Don't you know what Mas Sakha's attitude was to Lisa all along?", Mama Ria simply nodded. " He was willing to do anything for Lisa even if he had to harm himself. Can't even resist Lisa's desire, whatever Lisa wants her to do" Adel begins to explain.

Adel did not hear for herself how her husband treated the ex. But, Mama Ria told me everything. What is Sakha's attitude that always obeys Lisa's wishes. From the start of the shuttle, willing to come at any time in any condition even if it brings losses. Even cancelling an appointment with a client who was going to rent his cafe to meet Lisa resulted in the client canceling his intention because he felt Sakha was unprofessional. Lisa just wanted to watch. Not because of urgent matters.

If Mama Ria enthusiastically listened to Adel, Sakha just did not want to hear it at all.

" Yes, as the saying goes, love is blind . The bucins do too, Ma. He saw his good partner was also perfect in his eyes, there was no reproach. So, he will not listen to the words of those who say bad things to those he loves and listen more to the words of the idol", Adel emphasized his last words. Sakha was silent, not daring to deny that everything Adel said was true.

" Right as well", Mama Ria nodded her head. " Sakha did believe more in the woman's words than her birth mother ", Mama Ria glanced sharply at the child.

" But, thankfully, the bucin is not too severe either. The proof can still be made aware of ", Adel chuckled. " If bucin is bad. Definitely will still accept despite the myriad of mistakes", added Adel.

" Yes, my mother is also grateful, Sakha can still realize that her choice was wrong"

Sakha just sighed. Is this what it feels like to be gossiped in plain sight?.

" Had his blessing?", Sakha snorted annoyedly.

Two different women of that generation were just chuckling.

" Sorry, mas. I don't mean anything".

" This part is a fact", Mama Ria defended herself.

" That's why Sakha said ghibah. Because what Mama and Adel were talking about was a fact. If Mama and Adel talk about a lie it's slander" explained Sakha.

" Yes, my mother apologized if you were offended ", said Mama Ria at last. " Mama to the room first. Take a break. My mom finished eating. You guys just finish your food" Mama Ria left the two. Escape avoiding the child.

" Have you been content to talk about my ugliness?", asked Sakha after Mama Ria was not seen again.

" I'm sorry, don't be mad" Adel sat in the chair that Mama Ria had been sitting in. " I just explained that mas is indeed the same bucin Lisa" explained Adel, despite repeatedly mentioning the name of her husband's ex-boyfriend. Sakha doesn't like to hear that name anymore. Reminds me of my mistakes in the past.

" Don't repeat it again" Sakha's pinta finally. " Every name is called, it reminds me of my great keb0d0han and mistake with you", Sakha held Adel's hands together. " Aren't we promised to forget the past and start a new chapter?", Sakha reminded.

" Yes, God willing, I promise not to repeat" replied Adel. "Help . Let's eat some more, it's just a little bit more", Adel took the plate that was just a little more and spooned the food and pointed it towards Sakha. " Now I'm the bribe" Sakha opened her mouth happily.

" So you were embarrassed when I was a bribe", surprised Sakha.

" There was a mother, if now it was just the two of us" Adel explained after swallowing food in his mouth.

" Do we eat alone every day so that I can always be in a bribe?", sakha teased.

" Not so is the concept, Mas", Adel annoyed. "Pity Mama if you have to eat alone".

" I'm just kidding", said Sakha.

They ended up spending their dinner interspersed with chatter.

Sakha turned her position towards Adel. " Aren't you sleepy yet?", he asked, enjoying his wife's face from the side.

" No" Adel replied, changing his position towards Sakha.

Sakha raised her hand rubbing Adel's cheek. " Why?" ask again.

Adel also nodded. He himself does not know.

" Come here!", Sakha pulled Adel to sleep in her arms. His hand was a pillow for Adel.

" Tell me how can you have those photos?", asked Adel curiously.

Sakha knows, what Adel means is the photos that now adorn the walls of his room. There are wedding photos of them as well as photos of their togetherness. Also a photo of Adel which is quite large in the ceiling of the room.

" Other than the photo you sent, I took from your social media. Also from your friends' social media" explained Sakha briefly.

Although Sakha does not know Adel's best friend very well, but by looking on social media, she can find him. Although enough to spend time and energy.

" Are you happy?"

" Yes, I'm very happy. Thanks for the surprise", Adel tightened his embrace.

" I just want to show you my sincerity that wants to start a new chapter with you and throw away everything related to my past including my relationship with him" Sakha explained. " I'm sorry I just started doing it. I feel so evil that I still let pictures of my ex decorate the walls of my room while I'm married to you. I must have hurt your feelings". Sakha does make the decision to throw away all the photos of herself and Lisa until none of them are left behind. His room is now decorated only by his picture and the picture of his wife.

" It's okay. Forget "

The flashback

A few hours earlier.

"Czech", Sakha opened the door to her room.

" come inside. Ladies first", he said, letting Adel into his room first.

" thank you". Adel went in first. However, just entering a few steps, Adel was stunned. A large photo hangs right on the bed.

" Welcome back. How, do you like it?", asked Sakha hugging Adel from behind after closing the room door.

" When has it been there?", asked Adel curiously without answering Sakha's question.

"The day after your departure. I'm starting to collect your pictures and ours. I'm grateful I had a picture of our wedding that you sent that day" Sakha explained.

Their marriage is only a Qabul ijab alone while in the nursery of his father-in-law made Adel perpetuate the moment only through his cellphone. He sent the pictures to Sakha. However, he does not believe Sakha still keeps it when he believes Sakha must immediately remove it after knowing why Sakha is willing to marry him.

Realizing the husband said to collect photos that mean more than one, Adel also circulated his gaze through every corner of the room that turned out there was no photo of Lisa. Change her picture and Sakha's.

" This, how can it be?", he asked to find many photos of himself.

" Later I tell you, let's pray Maghrib first, later the time is up", Sakha invites Adel to carry out their obligations as Muslims first. Adel followed her husband's invitation while still looking at the photos of the two of them.
