Between Two Hearts
Kerok

Prokk... Prokk... Prokk...

A clap shocked the three of them. They turned their heads, looking at someone who had always disturbed the lives of Jiho and Tiara. Yeah, he's Endra. That crackle guy show up again? Then Lina, the woman appeared behind him while smiling mischievously.

Tiara returned terrified, her body trembling. I don't know if the trauma hasn't gone away. Maybe because several times he experienced bitter events because of it. She hid behind her husband's body.

"Hey... We meet again" she said with a small smile.

"What are you doing here again?" ask Ferdi.

"Ohooooo's... Hello, how are you?" Endra still smiled cynically.

Ferdi clenched his hands and prepared to punch the man before him.

"Relax, don't push first. Why should emotions? I greet you all very well." said Endra lightly.

"What are you doing here? So that woman is your man?"

Endra grinning. "Ah unfortunately, my sister has failed to separate them. Just started, got caught first. Haha..."

"What's? That woman is your sister? It is fitting that its nature is not much different.

Endra laughs.

"Sister, but I really like that guy. Can you make it mine?" Lina sulks.

"You mean Jiho?"

"Yaaa, she's very cool" said Lina in a sumringah tone.

"Of course my dear sister. You want that guy? I'll set him up so he can marry you" whispered Endra in the woman's ear.

"How is it?"

"You take it easy, we need a careful plan to complete our mission. But you have to be patient. Let's wait until the Tiara lahiran first" whispered Endra again.

"Huh? Why that long?"

"Yes, I'm afraid that last year's events are repeated. Could've lost her forever."

"Hey! Why are you just whispering?" tukas Ferdi astonishment.

Endra and Lina turned their heads and smiled faintly. "Why brother? If I told you now, would you grant it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want your sister" Endra continued.

Ferdi looked at Jiho and Tiara (who were terrified).

"Over and again you've endangered my sister, aren't you satisfied? First, you almost raped her, second you almost made her lose her life, third you made her lose her baby. Now you're gonna put him in danger again?"

"And you always saved him. You are a good brother! Even though her husband wasn't protecting her."

Hearing Endra's words, Jiho could no longer hold back. He wanted to punch him, but again Tiara held him back.

"A, stay here. Don't listen to him. He did that on purpose" Tiara said softly. Tiara's words made Jiho undo his intentions. He went back silent. It's up to him to say, but anger won't solve the problem.

"Why Jiho? It's true, isn't it? You can't protect your wife?" endra said cynically.

"If you're just here to make a scene, leave. Don't bother us" Ferdi said.

"Yes, okay. We're gonna go. But we'll be back another time" Endra said.

Endra approached Ferdi while whispering. "I know you're not her brother. It's just your wits, isn't it? You love Tiara too, don't you? But you're too cowardly, why don't you just take your best friend's wife?"

Ferdi's eyes are round.

"Why? Are you afraid of Jiho? Or do you feel guilty for loving his wife? If I were you, I would do anything to get my beloved woman. Hah, it turns out you're just a cool guy, but your chances of getting it are bigger than mine. Too bad." whispered Endra again in Ferdi's ear.

Ferdi's face turned a dead red. He was angry to hear Endra's rant. But he could only hold his emotions in his heart.

"If you'll excuse me. Just wait, I will definitely come back with another surprise" Endra said. He took a few steps back.

"I Love You, Tiara." cried Endra. Then they went and disappeared from sight.

Soon Jihopun left them. "Darling you wait here first huh, Aa to the cafe for a while."

Tiara nodded again.

Ferdi rubbed his own face violently. He became annoyed with the word Endra.

"Mas, are you okay?" tanya Tiara nodded at him.

Ferdi did not answer him, he just stared fixedly at Tiara. He wanted to find the answer to why he loved her so deeply.

"Mas, why dumbass?" ask Tiara again.

'yeah! I thought what the hell. Seeing it was okay, that was enough for me. Why be influenced by the words of that jerk!' said Ferdi.

"Mass?" tiara's soft voice was soothing to her heart.

"Ah no, mas is okay, deck" he said with a smile.

Degs... Degs... Degs... Suddenly his heart was beating faster. Duh, even though Ferdi had been trying to hold it and hide it. Why does it have to be like this again?

"Mas, I miss my father and mother." said Tiara, she sat next to him.

Ferdi just turned his head without a word. Just implied a question.

Tiara took a deep breath. "I've been wanting to go home for a long time. If from the phone alone it feels like there is less. I'd love to see you and mom, but...."

"Jiho forbid you?"

Tiara shakes. "No, I never even said anything to her. It's just that we've been wandering around for too long, but haven't been home yet. I feel like a bad boy."

"Patience, you're pregnant now..."

"Yes, I know. I haven't had a chance to go home. After some things that have passed. Especially now that I'm pregnant, it's possible that A Jiho won't let me go home. She must be afraid something will happen to this baby."

"Yes he must be worried about you. But talk to him first."

"Hmmm... I'll say it later."

"If she's forbidding you from coming home, it's definitely because she's worried about you and your baby."

"Yes, um."

"You can be patient, there will be a time when you can go home to see your father and mother"

Tiara nodded.

"You just focus on the baby in your womb. Keep your health and do not mind much. Oh yeah, how old are you?"

"Now seven months, ma'am..."

"Have you prepared for the birth of a baby?"

"I'm not worried about that problem. A Jiho diligently saves for the cost of labor as well as preparing the baby's grandpa."

"Alhamdulillah then. I know he's the responsible husband."

Tiara smiled.

"Yes, later you just talk to your husband about your wishes or your grandparents all this time. Don't keep it alone, if you don't talk your husband won't know."

Tiara nodded back.

"Mas, can I have some tea?" ask Tiara.

"Hmm, yes I can. What are you cooking, deck?"

"I haven't cooked yet. Isn't there food at the cafe?"

"Hahaha, there is indeed a deck. But I don't taste it, I want to eat home cooking."

"Yes, I'm going to cook, we'll eat together, while waiting for A Jiho to come home..."

"okay"
