The Time Limit (40)

" 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.

***

Dance is very happy. He managed to invite Sakha over for dinner. The reason is certainly as a welcome to his business partner. He did make the project a tool to approach Sakha.

Business-wise, the project was profitable. But personally also provide a lot of benefits because it can always be close to Sakha.

Dance was not inexhaustible, when many people approached her, Sakha seemed to not care. He hates that Lisa has always been the center of Sakha's attention even when Lisa's family is poor, Sakha's attitude remains unchanged.

" Now, you will be mine, Sakha", muttered Tari as she looked at the dishes that were already available on the table.

After a few minutes passed, someone came over to Tari.

" You...?" , Dance glared at the person who came instead of Sakha.

" Sorry miss, regarding your invitation in the framework of our cooperation project, then from now on anything related to this project, please contact me. I am the representative chosen by Mr. Sakha", Satria explained politely.

Yes, the one who came was Satria. Sakha bestows everything related to this project to Satria. He wants to minimize something unexpected that will happen in the future.

He realized it was all just Dance wits. Therefore, he will only follow the Dance game by still running this project but trying not to get caught up in it.

Finally, as Mr. Arman did, he did the same. Not breaking the agreement at all.

Dance phone beeped.

" Sakha, what do you mean?" , Dance kept trying to ask in the lowest possible tone. Don't let Sakha hear her irritated tone.

" As Mr. Arman did, I made Satria my representative. So, for something related to this project, please contact Satria only", explained Sakha to the point.

" But.."

Tutt.. Tutt.. Tutt..

Sakha turned off the phone before Tari finished speaking.

Dance just held her phone tightly. He was upset but could not do anything. There is no prohibition in the agreement to represent this project.

Dance only regretted her keb0d0hannya who was unaware of it.

" How about miss?", asked Satria later.

" Let's continue with his dinner", although upset, he doesn't want his original purpose discovered.

They eat quietly. After finishing eating the dishes served, they just started a chat. It sounds just a small talk according to Satria. But, he just listen.

Sakha now drives her car back to the town of J. After Tari called her to take her dinner, the mother called her to inform her of Adel's conscious condition of the coma.

Do not want to lose the moment in waiting, without a second thought Sakha soon home. The project has a solution. So, Sakha can be at ease.

It was very late at night, when Sakha arrived at the hospital.

" Sakha, have you arrived, son?" asked Mama Ria who just came out of the bathroom.

" Yes, Ma", answered Sakha who was sitting on the bedside chair.

" Adel's sleeping again".

" Yes, Ma. I'm actually impatient to talk to him. But, I also don't want to disturb his rest" explained Sakha as she clasped Adel's hand.

" Did she ask about the content?", asked Sakha later.

" yes. But, mama has not had time to explain anything because the doctor came to do an examination and finally mama switched the conversation until she fell asleep again due to the influence of drugs.

Sakha sighed.

" You explain slowly. Mama thinks you are more entitled to explain everything" said Mama Ria while rubbing Sakha's shoulder.

***

Dancing in her hotel room. Dari is only staying in a hotel room, like Sakha, she also lives in the city of J. But it has been a year living in country A because of the request of the grandmother who did live there.

However, the words of Satria after finishing dinner last night were ringing in his head.

The flashback

" Miss, may I ask you something outside of work?," asked Satria politely.

" May," replied Tari after thinking for a moment.

" You seem to know Lisa too. Do you know what happened to him?", asked Satria trying to figure it out.

"....", Dance is silent.

" He's in jail for deliberately bumping into someone..," Satria hung up her speech and observed Dance's facial expression.

Satria smiled, it was obvious that Tari was not surprised at all, which meant that Tari already knew the news.

" Looking at your facial expression, it seems you already know", shut up for a moment. " Do you also know who he hit and who reported it?", asked Satria later.

" Who?", asked the suddenly curious Dance.

" The person who was hit by Lisa was Adel Sakha's wife and the person who reported it was Mr Sakha himself".

Stupefied dance. I really don't believe Sakha can do that.

" You know what Lisa's reason is?"

" Certainly jealous because Sakha chose to marry someone else" replied Tari confidently.

" right. Lisa doesn't accept Sakha can forget her. Moreover, Mr. Sakha's wife can make him turn away in just a matter of months".

Dancing was shocked by what he heard. But, then he was confused why Satria told him all that.

" What do you mean tell me all that?".

" I know you like Mr. Sakha. It is clear from your attitude"

"What?", Dance became misbehaved.

" You're beautiful, from a respectable family too, it's not appropriate to aspire to be a p3lakor"

Silent dance.

" I just don't want you to be the same fate as Lisa. Doing various ways to get back to Pak Sakha",

" Sakha sir loved his wife very much and even became the vanguard when his wife was injured. Lisa who had loved so much alone was not able to shake his love for Bu Adel let alone the person he did not even love at all. Rather than wasting time it is better to find another love" Satria added.

Flashback off

***

Sakha awakens when she senses Adel's hand movements. Adel awakens and tries to drink.

" Dear, you're thirsty" asked Sakha.

Adel just nodded.

" Let me get you ", Sakha took the water on the nightstand and helped Adel to drink.

Once done, Sakha saves it back to the top of the nightstand.

" It's three in the morning. You sleep again huh", pinta Sakha however, Adel just shook his head.

" She, I want nanya. Please answer honestly?!", asked Adel.

Sakha sighed. He could guess what Adel would ask him.

" Well, God willing, I will answer honestly"

" How am I?"
