Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
The Former Main

In the morning, Salma was acting normal. He had made his determination not to bother thinking about Azzura in the middle of his household. Salma still saw Azzura who was asleep on the sofa hugging Askara. The nurse who was guarding Azzura also just woke up, when going to wake Azzura, Salma forbid it, and told the sister to clean up because it would alternate with the other sister.

“Mbak Zura .. wake up early.” Salma with the pain in her heart, she had to awaken Azzura, and all of them woke Askara up.

“Mbak, Mas, wake up early,” whispered Salma.

Askara blinked her eyes. She looked at the already beautiful looking Salma, and smiled in front of her. Askara looked at Azzura who was still hugging her. The look on her face became awkward, especially until Salma woke her up.

“Mbak Zura, wake up in the morning,” said Salma.

Azzura let go of her embrace, she stretched her stiff muscles, and it was a shock that she saw Salma in front of her. Azzura's position was still half-leaning on Askara's body.

“Mbak, to the room huh? I check first, because I have a seminar later at seven must have left,” Salma said casually.

“Ah, yes, Sal,” Azzura replied.

Askara is still not feeling well with his wife. He remained silent, saying nothing. He was also confused as to why Azzura could sleep in his arms, and there was a blanket as well.

Salma was already in Azzura's room. He checked the state of Azzura in detail. “Maybe tomorrow or the day after, there's Doctor Elizabeth who'll be checking. Tomorrow or the day after, I have to get out of town. There is also a seminar. Two days in Semarang,” said Salma.

“Oh yes,” Azzura replied briefly.

Azzura sees Salma as nothing like her usual judes and puts on a hateful face full of anger as she gets close to Askara. This morning, Salma was just plain. He was still friendly, still willing to talk to Azzura as well.

“Sus, tomorrow or the day after, anyway two days Ms Zura will be handled Doctor Elizabeth huh? I want a seminar. Today there is also a seminar maybe until the afternoon or evening,” said Salma.

“Good, Doc. The medicine's been prepared till night, right, Doc?” ask the sister.

“Already, Sus. If there is any phone I yes, Sus,” said Salma.

“Good, Doc,” answer.

Salma came out of Azzura's room after checking on Azzura's state. Pretty good this morning. Probably because I slept with Askara.

“Do I have to give them a chance? Do I have to make Mas Aska marry Azzura? Ah no! I can't! But, Azzura today is better. Right, all he needs is Askara, not medicine. He needs his last moments with Mas Aska. So, do I have the heart if I'm too hard and selfish? Azzura only wanted to spend his last time with Mas Aska. That's it, not wanting to snatch Mas Aska from me,” Salma muttered.

Salma returned to her room after examining Azzura. She prepared her husband's work clothes. Although last night Askara did not sleep in the room, and chose to sleep on the sofa, Salma did not mind him, she did not care. She no longer wanted to argue with her husband about Azzura. He will accept the situation as well as possible even if it is not good for him.

“Mas, I came home tonight like,” said gentle Salma.

“Why, angry? I slept outside, and Zura hugged me? Want to get angry again, keep not coming home until night? Don't be childish, Sal!”

“Kok you said that, Mas? This is no seminar.” Salma gave a letter of assignment for today's seminar, and the schedule was completed until five in the afternoon.

“You left alone?” ask Ask Askara.

“You want me to drop off, Sal?”

“No need, I'm used to it myself, Mom? Poor Fifah, later go home there is no you,” replied Salma.

Actually Salma wanted to be angry when Askara said that. Sounds so bad, it hurts so much. Askara thinks of himself as being very selfish. But, Salma responded to her normally, even though her heart ached, and wanted to cry. Just this time Salma heard Askara speak in such a tone and cornered Salma, thinking Salma was seemingly very selfish.

“You sure you left alone, Sal? It's into the area that's up and winding its way, Sal. Five hours have gone down the fog usually,” said Askara worried.

“It's okay, I'm alone,” Salma said. “Oh yes mas, maybe tomorrow I also want another seminar. In Semarang, two or three days, this is the invitation.” Salma gave evidence that he would also go to Semarang, for a seminar.

“I'll take you tomorrow, huh?”

“From the hospital is ready for the car, do not need to be delivered, Mas. There's a lot of work, too, right? I'm alone, besides I'm ordinary myself, Mas,” Salma said. “Oh yes this clothes mas, I say yes, Mas?”pamit Salma by kissing Askara's hand. There was no kiss from Askara, maybe he forgot, because it had been disappointed since this morning with him.

Salma came straight out of the room, waiting for Askara to kiss him or hug him free too. After Salma kissed Askara's hand, Askara immediately took a work shirt and put it on. Salma hoped that Askara would embrace her, and kiss her forehead.

“Funny, yesterday you held me back from leaving, now that you are disappointed I am too jealous, you are no longer as romantic as yesterday. Am I wrong to be jealous?” salma Mumbles.

Salma saw Afifa being with Azzura on the terrace. The school uniform is ready.

“Honey, have you had breakfast?” ask Salma.

“Not yet mother, later together mother,” replied Afifah. “Mother is leaving?” ask Afifah.

“Yes, this is leaving. Mommy has a seminar, so you have to leave in the morning, sorry can not take you,” said Salma.

“Yes, the same father will go to school. Or the same driver, he said mom wants to take me to school, “ Afifah replied.

“Oh yes already. Mother's leaving, huh? You're a smart school, huh?” salma said then kissed Afifah's cheek right left.

“Dah, mom leaving, huh?” Salma waved her hand at Afifa.

“Mbak I'm leaving, huh?” salma's pamphlet was also on Azzura.

“Iya, Sal. Careful,” said Azzura.

Salma opened the car door. Before getting into his car, he sees Askara coming out from inside. Salma simply smiled at Askara, then waved her hand at Askara. He did not expect that Askara forgot about what he did every morning, before he left for work or Salma would go to work.

“Get out of Mas Aska's house, I felt like I had to get out of there. His family is back intact, and I? I am a new person in his life. Still, even though Azzura was once guilty of her, Askara will be easy to forgive, even though the mistake is very big. While me? I was just jealous, angry, overflowing because I was jealous, I was inhabited, I was accused of leaving the house, even though I wanted a seminar, and he immediately forgot the little things he did to me every day. Although it was just a short hug, and a short kiss, it was my mood booster. And, this morning I didn't get it,” Salma muttered.

“Now I know, the former is more important than prioritizing his wife now,” Salma said with a smile interspersed with tears dripping on her cheeks.
