Stay or Leave

Yesterday’s debate between David and Bella reached Mrs. Ratih’s ears. Early in the morning, Mrs. Ratih came to David’s house. Since David chose to divorce Ayunda, Mrs. Ratih rarely stays at her son’s house, not because she is sad that Ayunda doesn’t live in her son’s house, but because there is nothing to talk about according to Mrs. Ratih.

“David, you shouldn’t compare Bella with your ex-wife. Bella is much better than him,” said Mrs. Ratih while having breakfast together at the dinner table.

“It’s okay, there’s no need to talk about it anymoreDavid wants to go first” David said then got up from his seat to immediately go to the office. Judging from the look on David’s face, it seemed that David was very lazy to discuss things that didn’t need to be discussed anymore.

Bella who saw her husband walk away without saying goodbye to him, stomped the spoon he was holding.

“That’s right, Mas David is always like that with me,” Bella argued with Mrs. Ratih.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Never mind, don’t think about it, David will definitely not be angry with you anymoreYou are also a wife, you should serve your husband well,” said Mrs. Ratih casually as she continued to feed the food on her plate into her mouth.

Bella, who did not get any defense from her mother-in-law, quickly finished her breakfast.

In the morning, Ayunda was walking in the park not far from her sister’s residence with Leona and the baby nurse who helped look after Leona.

The three of them stopped in their tracks and sat on a park bench and chatted a little.

“Are you not sick anymore?” Leona asked Ayunda who she called Mother. The call, Ayunda asked for it herself.

“No dear, Mother is not sick anymore. Pray for mother, so that you can choose as soon as possible and then you can play with Leona,” said Ayunda.

“Mama said, in your stomach there is a baby Dede, right?” Leona asked again with a childlike style that made everyone who saw it excited, including Ayunda and the nurse.

“Yes, in mother’s stomach there is Dedenya, later when it comes out, Nana invites Dede to play, right?” Ayunda said with a smile.

“Surely mother” Leona quickly answered Ayunda’s words.

After they wandered around and sat in the garden for a while, they decided to go home. Walk slowly, because Ayunda is still in the recovery stage and is definitely pregnant.

Ayunda is determined to live her days with enthusiasm, without having to think about the past. let it be like this, after all, it was David who didn’t want it anymore. Even if later there is a man who wants it, then he must also accept his child.

Afternoon at Leo’s office

Currently, Akmal is reporting the details of the meeting that just ended to Leo. Leo sat in his oversized chair and Akmal sat in front of Leo, which was only separated from Leo’s desk. Having finished reporting everything to Leo, Akmal intends to resign to return to his room.

“It’s over, then I’ll excuse myself, sir,” Akmal said to Leo professionally as a superior and a subordinate.

“Wait a minute” Leo stopped when Akmal was about to step out towards the door.

“What is it?” Akmal asked Leo.

“Sit down Malrelax first, I want to ask you something” Leo said to Akmal then Akmal sat back down in the chair he was sitting in.

“What about your wedding plans?” Leo asked Akmal. Well Leo already knows about the agreement between Akmal and Nadia, if Nadia is suitable to be a donor for Ayunda, then Akmal will marry her.

“Wait for the right time” Akmal answered quickly.

“What do you mean?” Leo, who did not understand Akmal’s words, asked again for an explanation.

“He already has a girlfriend and I don’t want to get married before he finishes his relationship with his girlfriend,” Akmal said.

“You already have a lover, why ask you to marry him?” Leo asked confused and Akmal didn’t answer, just shrugged his shoulders as a sign that he didn’t know.

“Hmm,,, yes already. I hope you too will have a family soon. Thank you, because you are willing to sacrifice your happiness for Ayunda. I don’t know what to reply to you with. I can only second you, I hope you also find your happiness as soon as possible” said Leo getting up from his oversized chair and then approached Akmal and patted him on the shoulder.

“There’s no need to reply to me anythingI should be the one thanking you because thanks to your help, I can finally survive,” Akmal said.

“I already consider you like a brother, so don’t hesitate” Leo said.

Well, Akmal is from an ordinary family. both of his parents are also gone, his brothers don’t care about him anymore. Then came Leo, extending his hand to help Akmal until now. It was all thanks to Leo and Leo’s parents that Akmal was finally able to get back on his feet and determined to work hard to help Leo. Akmal feels indebted to Leo’s family and Akmal decides to work as Leo’s assistant.
