" Sakha's fast, that's the car that Lisa's looking like. Hurry up before it's too late ", there's someone's voice on the phone.

The deg!

"I'm sorry, I'm going first. Assalamu'alaikum ", Sakha immediately hung up.

" Wa'alaikumsalam" Adel replied despite the disconnection of his phone.

Drop by drop Adel's tears flowed from the corner of his eye. For a while he let the tears flow until the tightness in his chest evaporated.

Once satisfied, Adel removed it with a handkerchief that he took from his sling bag. He immediately contacted Andini. His online ojek subscription.

" Assalamu'alaikum. Din, can we take you to the hospital now?. I'm at the cake shop", asked Adel via chat.

" Aaikumsalam . Ready, tea. Directly otw. about 10 minutes God willing until", answered Andini briefly.

Since living in City B, Adel used to use an online motorcycle taxi that his driver was a woman. Adel is more comfortable than using the services of an online motorcycle taxi driver. Therefore when deciding to stay in City J, he immediately sought information about the ojol that his drivers were female. Grateful finally he got the contact number of Andini who until now became his subscription if he went without his husband.

After almost ten minutes, Andini really arrived. Without much ado, they immediately slid into the hospital.

While Sakha who failed to chase the car that was allegedly on board Lisa immediately returned to her Cafe.

" If we hadn't caught the red light, we would have been able to catch the car" Sakha said.

" Lagian, told to break through, even obeying the same lights. As a result of missing it", Yudi grumbled annoyed at his suggestion to break through the red light, ignored by Sakha.

" If I follow your advice, instead of being able to catch up with Lisa's car, we go to the afterlife" Sakha replied no less upset.

" The struggle needs sacrifice", Yudi did not want to lose.

" But you don't have to die in vain, do you?!". It's growling." " Once it is, discussing it is endless" Sakha ended the discussion about his failure earlier.

" Sat, get people to bring drinks and food up", Sakha pinta to Satria who is in charge of business in the Cafe kitchen.

"Ready!" satria replied briefly and directly told people to deliver the Boss' order upstairs.

" But you're sure it's Lisa? " , Yudi began to doubt Sakha's vision. " So she looks like she's got a big pregnancy" she added.

" I'm sure. One hundred percent sure. " replied Sakha. " That's exactly what, I'm also curious about ".

Yes, Lisa who he saw was pregnant.

" If it really was Lisa, what would you do?", asked Yudi curiously. " You're gonna leave your wife?".

Not without reason Yudi asked like that. Yudi is one of Sakha's best friends who knows of Sakha's plan to divorce her if Lisa is found. However, when he saw the person he expected was Lisa was actually pregnant, Yudi became curious. Will Sakha continue with her intentions?

" I don't know. I'm getting confused. Finding Lisa in her pregnant condition was unimaginable before. Moreover, want to see it anyway, I'm absolutely sure that the woman was Lisa", explained Sakha dilemma.

" You know, I feel sorry for your wife. She's nice, even after knowing you still love Lisa and looking for her whereabouts. In fact, I don't see a change in his attitude that you know you'll double down on if you manage to find Lisa ", Yudi explained as she is.

Suddenly he remembered Adel who asked him to accompany him to the hospital to see his friend who had just given birth. Sakha immediately calls Adel to find out where she is. Because he wanted to follow to the hospital, he did not know which hospital Adel went to.

When he opened the phone, it turned out that there were a lot of missed calls from Adel. Finally, Sakha decided to call back.

" The number you're going to is off..."

Sakha hung up on me.

" Why?", asked Yudi who saw Sakha was upset when she turned off her phone.

" I actually have an appointment with Adel today. But, since we were chasing Lisa, I canceled it. Now, the number is off" explained Sakha, leaning her back against the sofa.

" Maybe he turned off his phone on purpose because he was annoyed at you for cancelling a promise"

" Adel never did that. No matter how bad he is, he never turns off his phone" explained Sakha.

Yudi who was fun to enjoy his dinner which was delivered by the service also stopped his meal.

" You know, I actually don't agree that you're still after Lisa when you have a wife. Moreover, the wife you have is much better when compared to Lisa", Yudi expressed his opinion. " As your best friend, I don't want you to regret it. Moreover, Lisa's not as good as you think. The proof you see for yourself the condition of him now?!", Yudi reminded.

" Not you, not my mom, you said Lisa wasn't good. Though as long as I walk with him, he is never strange" Sakha began to growl.

" It's not weird in front of you, who knows how Lisa is behind you" Yudi said. " You should think again. Neither I nor Aunt Ria, do you want to regret it. We don't mean to vilify. But, just want you to open your eyes so as not to be blinded by love. " Yudi ended his words and went back to enjoying his dinner.

" Have you called your husband for permission?", asked Aisyah to Adel who was now in the guest room at Aisyah's house.

" He seems busy. On the phone many times but not picked up." replied Adel. " But I called my mother-in-law so as not to worry" Adel explained

" What did your mother-in-law say?"

" He said it was better for me to stay over to see the conditions outside were raining heavily",

" Your mother-in-law is understanding. Hopefully I can also be understanding in-laws like your in-laws", hope Syifa who was busy playing games on her phone.

" Aamiin", they compactly guarantee.

" Yes, if Tia is done in the bathroom, you go straight to the dining table. It was time for dinner", pinta Aisyah while going outside from the room.

Adel, Aisha, Syifa and Fathiya were friends. They were close to studying at the same campus. As for Syifa herself, Adel has known her since High School only they were not as close as now.

Syifa and Tia had come from City B to see their newborn niece. They also plan to stay. While Adel, only intended to look, but the heavy rain conditions made him not dare to go home.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. This is where Adel is now. Lying her body on a mattress in a fire by Syifa and Tia.

" It's been a while, haven't we been this? staying together!", cried Tia happily while hugging the arm of Adel who was at her side.

" yes. Approximately after we graduate and start busy with their respective affairs. Not to mention Adel and Aisyah who are married" Syifa explained. " Oh yeah, how's your relationship with Sakha now?" asked Syifa curiously.

Adel always told his best friend about anything. Including her marriage to Sakha.

" My relationship with Sakha...."
