Salimah went to work in a doldrums. I don't know when the general will start living in his house. But honestly, he will never be ready.
Alawiyah who picked up her best friend was amazed by Salimah's attitude this morning.
"You why Sal? Mr Darmono is still weak?" guess Alawiyah who thinks if the sadness of her best friend because of the condition of her former in-laws is declining.
"Udah is stable anyway" replied Salimah weakly.
"Certainly? Is there anything else? You fought with Fitria?" cecar Alawiyah's.
They stopped at a cafe that was open in the morning with a menu of coffee and bread.
Alawiyah used to invite pregnant women to talk if there is still free time before entering office hours.
"What else is it? Oh come on Sal, you're pregnant, you can't calm your mind, Fitria's problem is what it's up to her anyway!"
Salimah pointed the menu at the servant rather than answering the babble of her best friend.
"It's not Fitria, but it's about the same General Afnan Al, I'm confused" he explained.
"General? The afnan? Why the same them?"
"First, mas General would like to ask for help to stay while at home I—"
"WHAT?! Crazy, can't be in the house, it's your home right why so he's murmuring?" pekik Alawiyah emotions.
"Shuuut, calm down, why Sal, you're so shy!" salimah grumbled as he looked around in panic.
"ok ... Okay sorry."
"She didn't want to take the house, just wanted to stay for a while. You know, it turned out that the accident was due to Triya's negligence so the General had to want compensation for his actions. He was planning to sell their house. It is also less he said. So he asked for help to stay while at home," explained Salimah lethargic.
"So you're justin' that? Ckc ... Sal, Sal, can't do that either. Time to contract doesn't exist? I suspect he may have some ulterior intentions. Why not refuse? You are very easy to pity and do not make it easy so gini is definitely the same people who do not know themselves," mocked Alawiyah who was upset with the attitude of her best friend.
"It's not Al, I'm confused as well. He also gave a reasonable reason, he wanted to be a standby father, he said. You know, in the house of all women, he thinks fearfully that I want the birth of the night."
Alawiyah thought, the reason expressed by the General does make sense. But his instinct as a lawyer said there was something that his best friend's ex-husband hoped for.
"Either why do I feel that maybe the General is planning to refer you, because maybe Triya has no hope of life," he said.
Salimah patted his best friend's arm, "you are careless when you say. Do’ Triya is good not even talking non-no," grumbled Salimah.
"Who knows, even if the reference is also not wrong, right? Who knows."
"What else does Afnan have?"
Salimah then told about Afnan's request to get back together. Alawiyah who was sipping coffee even immediately spouted it after hearing the story of Salimah.
"What's? Referral?"
Anxious with the mouth of Alawiyah who always screamed, Salimah had to shut his best friend's mouth.
"Obsolutely Al! You are a big lebai! Just be ashamed."
"Yes sorry, the end of the news today makes a dizzy head as well. You look frustrated."
"What do you think I should do, Al?" salimah asked weakly.
"I know Afnan's a good guy Sal. I also see that he still loves you very much. But households are not enough to just love each other. But also there is a sense of security and comfort in it—" Alawiyah pause.
"You know for yourself, no matter how much you love, your barrier is too high. Afnan will never be able to choose between you or his mother, because you are not an option."
"You and Afnan's mother should be side by side with Afnan. But truth? Afnan's mom always tries to get rid of you."
"You've been pretty happy lately with no distractions or pressure from your mother-in-law. Are you ready to let go of everything and go back to living in fear?" cecar Alawiyah at length.
Alawiyah knew exactly what kind of figure Afnan was. He is a good and responsible man. He also loved his best friend.
But one that is loved from Afnan, which must be born from the womb of a woman named Sri who is very cruel.
Women are greedy and cruel. Saying deeply in love with her son but in the wrong way. So according to the view of Alawiyah towards the figure of Sri.
"Mas Afnan said he would try to protect us Al" Salimah replied.
Lying if she does not feel happy with the invitation of her ex-husband who is still very loved.
But he knew very well what Alawiyah said was also true. He must not underestimate the fortress created by his mother-in-law.
Alawiyah chuckled at Salimah's reply. He felt his best friend was again stupid because of Afnan's persuasion.
"Protect you how? Hiding you and Rino? Leave her mother and flee abroad? So that all the Afnan family will hate him and you too? Until when?"
"Think carefully, Sal. Love can, but stupid can't. You have to stay sane. If you can't be together as a couple, why don't you and Afnan just learn to be good parents for Rino?"
"Remember Sal, Rino, whose mother Afnan's granddaughter is sick of what else now you are pregnant with someone else's child. Are you ready to take the risk?"
“Life in anxiety and fear all the time you sure?”
Salimah's shoulders slumped. He did not deny what his best friend said was true. Even since yesterday his mind filled that mind without explanation Alawiyah now.
But sometimes his little heart wants to re-knit love with Afnan. The man who still reigns in his heart.
"Especially the big family of the Afnan is also a lot of arrogant as well—" Alawiyah sighed.
"Therefore I was also a bit hesitant to accept Heri, because of his creepy extended family," said Alawiyah suddenly.
Salimah nodded in disbelief at the words of her best friend. Did he not mishear if two people who had always been feuding suddenly had feelings? Bati wonders.
"Did Mr. Heri express his feelings for you Al?" salimah asked with a smile.
He knew very well Heri liked Alawiyah. It's just that the best friend is always sniffling at their boss, even though according to Salimah Heri is a good man and his family is good.
"Yes. But I don't know what to answer. Honestly see how your household is the same Afnan, make me reluctant to accept him."
Salimah looked at the friend while holding the hand of Alawiyah.
"Sir Heri's a good person Al's family is good too. All you have to think about is your relationship with Mr. Hari and his core family. The affairs of his extended family I'm sure Mr. Heri knows how to protect you" Salimah explained.
"really?"
Salimah smiled and nodded. He did not expect his best friend who was always thin and famous bar-bar can also be conquered by men.
