The Time Limit (39)

" You remember about someone who intends to work with me. The plan is I'll be out of town a few days to review the place. As long as I'm gone Mama will take care of you. I also asked Fitri to take turns with mama while still paying her even if she does not go to the store" explained Sakha while cleaning Adel's body.

Sakha immediately cleaned the cloth she used after finishing cleaning Adel's body. Sakha did it without the help of the sisters. He wants him to do all that himself. Because he did not want Adel's body seen by others even though it was a woman. Thankful that the doctor who handled Adel was a woman.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Sakha was preparing to go out of town for a few days. He did not go alone but with Satria. Satria was already his confidant. Meanwhile, for a while, the cafe was handled by a person who had been prepared by Satria far away.

As for Adel, Sakha had already surrendered completely to her mother.

"Sat, later when there you have to continue with me yes", Pinta Sakha.

" Why sir?", asked Satria confusedly.

" It's not too formal if it's just the two of you" Sakha pinta. Sakha does ask Satria not to be too formal if there is no one else.

"Ready", he said chuckling.

" Don't know, you don't feel good?", honestly Sakha. I don't know what hunch this is. But, if I may feel better not to just go. However, he also could not arbitrarily cancel the agreement he had signed.

" Is it because of Brother Adel?", asked Satria carefully.

" I don't know either", Sakha really doesn't know. It's just that the feeling is not good.

" Yes, take it easy. I'll be the same brother when I'm there"

Sakha just nodded.

This is Sakha's last night accompanying Adel. Tomorrow, he's going out of town. As usual, Sakha would complain Adel spoke.

" Dear, I'm going out of town tomorrow. From tomorrow you will be accompanied by your mother", said Sakha.

" I'll hurry up and finish my business there so I can go home soon. Hopefully when I get home I can see your smile again." hope Sakha.

" Wake up, he said he wanted to be nostalgic to city B. Even though we're not baby moon, we can be honeymoon".

Sakha finally has to leave too. Although heavy leaving Adel in this condition, but he also should not ignore the other affairs.

" Dear, I'm leaving first", Sakha kissed Adel's forehead. " Assalamu'alaikum".

" Of course, go there! Not long" Mama Ria pulled Sakha's arm and held her. " If you keep saying goodbye, when will it go? Kasian Satria is waiting for you from earlier", Mama Ria is not the heart. But, how else.

"Yes, yes." Sakha finally obeyed her mother's words." Titip Adel yes, Ma. If there's anything call me right away" Pinta Sakha.

" Yes", replied Mama Ria. " You're the one who drove Satria?"

" Yes, Bu".

" I'm sorry about ngerepotin. But, worry if Sakha is the one who brought the car. Especially this is a long trip".

" that's okay. This is indeed my duty" explained Satria briefly.

Sakha and Satria are also happy. Mama Ria returned to Adel's room.

The actual journey of just a few hours feels long for Sakha. He wants to finish his business immediately and accompany Adel in the hospital. The doctor said his condition was stable. Just waiting for Adel to wake up.

" We focus on the same job. Let the business be finished soon and we can go home soon", Satria realized, Sakha's body is with him but not with his mind.

Sakha just nodded.

The morning finally arrived, Sakha immediately prepared for today's meeting. So is Satria who is ready and waiting for Sakha while replying to a message from her family.

They went to the restaurant where the meeting was held.

When she arrived, Sakha was shocked to see a woman who was no stranger to her.

" Sakha sir, this is my nephew. For this business of cooperation I will hand it over to him. You see, I'm going to have a business trip out of town for a while" explained Mr. Arman, Sakha's business partner.

Sakha just nodded. To refuse is not even possible. He does not want to be considered unprofessional just because it mixes personal affairs and work affairs.

" Hey Sakha, how are you?", asked Tari trying to smile. Although initially upset because Sakha refused his hand and only replied by clenching his hands, until finally Satria returned his hand.

" good. You how are you?", asked Sakha in pleasantries.

" I'm good. Even very good after finally being able to see you again" he said happily.

Now, they are only three. Mr. Arman himself has resigned because suddenly there was a phone call.

" So, how about we just survey the place. I can't stay in this town for long" explained Sakha flatly.

" It must be because I miss Lisa" said Tari, pretending not to know. Though he knew Lisa was in jail for hitting someone intentionally. However, he did not know who the victim was and what the reason was.

The shocked Satria look towards the dance and Sakha turns. He was wondering, actually, what was the relationship between them. Because Tari looks like a jealous person when she mentions Lisa by name.

"Me and Lisa have nothing to do anymore. I'm married to another woman. I miss my wife" explained Sakha.

Sakha just wants to tell Tari that she is married but not Lisa. He doesn't want Dance to approach him anymore. Although he is not sure, because in the past when he was with Lisa alone, Dance always looking for opportunities.

" Why?"

" I don't think it's any of your business. Your current business is to show the location we will survey" Sakha replied flatly.

" You're still just as sniffy as that", annoyed Tari even though she's used to Sakha.

" So?", asked Sakha no matter what Tari said.

" Alright, alright. We go now", Dance moved from her seat followed by Sakha and Satria.

" I'm just in your car, okay? to make time more efficient", Dance immediately sneaked in and sat in the passenger seat in Sakha's car.

Sakha who was lazy to serve directly closed the car door sitting next to the driver's seat.

Dance back upset. He thought Sakha would sit next to him thinking Satria was Sakha's driver.

Satria just stumbled on a smile looking at Tari's annoyed expression.

This woman really.inner Satria while shaking her head.

***

Sakha is back at the hotel. The survey of the place went well even though Tari tried to always approach Sakha, but Satria was always one step ahead.

" Satria, in the future you will take care of this project, right?. I'm lazy if I have to deal with Dance again. You see for yourself he's busy looking for attention rather than watching us talk about this project", Pinta Sakha sat his body on the couch.

" all right. The woman does seem to be unyielding", replied Satria along with piety.

Suddenly Sakha's phone rang. There was a call from an unknown number.

" Assalamu'alaikum", hail Sakha.
