DBW 45 Honeymoon is Getting Closer

The Time Limit (45)

" Not to think about it, brother. Mama was just kidding", Nela felt bad about the words of her mother.

" How kidding? Mom seriously. So the contract employee is a decent salary, especially if it can be a permanent employee or even rise in office".

" What's the status? Not married yet?" ask Lastri again.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

" Mom, that's enough!", Anton wasn't feeling well.

" What the hell is ,pa?", Lastri doesn't like.

" I'm sorry, sister", Nela represents her mother's apology.

" Why should I apologize?" Lastri was upset by the attitude of her son and husband.

" Look.", Sakha finally spoke up to mediate.

" Yudi and I know each other very well. We never interfere in each other's work. Everyone has to go through the stages that should be.", explained Sakha. " If Nela has the ability, without Bibi asking for anything, she must be a permanent employee maybe even up in office" explained Sakha at length.

Mama Ria does not believe in the attitude of her Aunt Adel. Anton and Nela are embarrassed.

Time passed too. Today is Adel's schedule for the check-ups. After doing X-rays and listening to the explanation from the doctor, both are grateful that the condition of Adel's legs is getting better.

Adel was able to move his legs slowly as well as the pain and swelling had begun to decrease. However, doctors advise to remain cautious. Adel should avoid strenuous activities that overload his legs such as standing and walking for too long.

With happy faces both of them came out of the hospital. As the doctor advises that she should not walk for too long, Sakha keeps telling Adel to use a wheelchair.

" It seems like our plan will be able to materialize soon. Just waiting for some more time to get off the wheel", Sakha honestly happy.

Their efforts yielded results.

" Yes, thank God" said Adel.

" Want to buy something first before going home?", bargained Sakha who was preparing to drive her car.

" Just go home" replied Adel.

" Okay, "Sakha went straight to the gas.

They were driving at speed heading home. Suddenly, Sakha's phone rang. Adel helped get it.

" From Satria" said Adel while showing a mobile phone screen where Satria's name was listed there.

Sakha's looking for a place to park her car for a while to pick up the phone.

He calls Satria back because his call is dead.

" Ashalamu'alaikum, Sat. What's the matter?", asked Sakha.

Satria also explains her intention of calling Sakha. After a few calls, Sakha hung up.

" We stopped by the cafe first, is it okay?", Sakha asked Adel's opinion before making a decision.

" It's okay. After all, I haven't been there for a long time" Adel replied.

Adel never again set foot in Sakha cafe after the incident he caught Sakha and Lisa. After that, many events they experienced.

Not long after, they arrived at the cafe.

Sakha slowly accompanies Adel to the table where he and Satria will speak.

Sakha chose to speak in a chair that was downstairs close to the entrance. This is certainly so that Adel can reach him by walking because the distance is not too far.

Until there, there was Satria and Tari who immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of the two.

" Thank God. So, Ms Adel, can you walk?", Satria was shocked to see it.

Sakha pulls the chair and helps Adel sit down. After that, he pulled out a chair for himself.

All Sakha's treatment of Adel did not go unnoticed by Tari.

" Tari, meet Adel, my wife", Adel put his hand out.

" Adel"

" Dance "

The two shake hands with each other.

" Dear, it's Dance. A representative of the company I worked with" explained Sakha.

" It was nice to meet his wife Sakha" Tari said later.

" What are you doing with Sakha?", seeing how Dance Speaks, she seems to know Sakha not just a coworker.

" Yes, we're college friends" replied Tari smiling.

" Ough means to know Yudi too, yes?", asked Adel later. He wanted to call her Lisa. However, he broke it. Adel did not want the conversation to be long-tailed. It means he will open his heart.

" Yes, the same Lisa is also familiar", replied Tari keceplosan. " I'm sorry not the intent.." . Dancing is not good enough to mention Lisa's name. In fact, Satria had warned not to mention that name. But, the name is not intentionally planned.

" It's okay" Adel replied trying to smile. Although I don't know how to remember Lisa, she remembers how she lost her baby.

Adel's right hand held his stomach. Seeing that, Sakha immediately clasped Adel's left hand.

Sakha looked at Adel, where Adel looked at Sakha. Salah's eyes looked as if saying 'It's okay, everything' is fine '. Adel just nodded smiling as if he understood the meaning of Sakha's eyes.

While Satria glared at Tari a little because she was upset, but was reminded. Dance only grimaced at Satria while saying sorry but only lip movements, without sound.

" Let's start the conversation" Sakha told Satria and Tari. While Adel only focus on food that is newly served on his desk.

The finished Adel enjoys the food, opens the phone and starts opening the chat app. One by one he replied to the incoming message. Sakha finally breaks Adel's concentration.

" Dear, I'll go to the toilet for a second, yeah. Is it okay for me to stay?", he asked.

" Yes, it's okay", Sakha immediately stood up and went to the toilet. But still had time to stroke the top of Adel's head before leaving.

Again, Sakha's mabis attitude did not escape the attention of Dance

The dance that still felt bad again apologized.

" Adel, about that, I'm really sorry. I don't mean to remind you of what happened to you", honestly Dance.

Adel smiled, "It's okay. Don't think about it".

" But I'm not good with you and Sakha".

" Of course, forget it. It's over anyway. Although I had to lose the fetus that I was carrying, Thank God God still gave me salvation", although the destiny that God set it looks bad in his eyes as a human being, but he believes it is the best.

Dance just nodded. He was impressed by Adel's attitude. It felt like he would still lose if he continued his original goal.

Seeing all Sakha's treatment of Adel as well as Adel's attitude, he believes in what Satria once said that Sakha loves his wife very much. His wife deserves to be loved. If you have to compete with Adel, Tari is not confident. Not like when he was competing with Lisa.

" Mrs Adel want to order more food?", bargained Satria diverted the conversation.

" It's been , Sat. Thanks though. This is more than enough" replied Adel who was already full enough.

" If Bu Adel can walk, it means going to the city of B will not be long dong?", asked Satria. Because that means the task of managing the Cafe during Sakha's departure will shift to him.

" Waiting some more time it seems. Let it be more free" replied Adel. Because if you still change in a wheelchair, it feels uncomfortable because the movement becomes limited.

" Would you like a honeymoon?", guess Dance.
