The Former
MAKE A CHOICE

Haikal looks fun playing his phone, he is waiting for a phone call from a lover who has not been able to meet for two days. After the incident that night, Haikal had several times wanted to meet Nindy but his efforts always failed because the men in uniform always blocked his way.

"He hasn't called you yet?" Sarah asked as she put down a cup of tea for Haikal.

Haikal shook his head.

Sarah sighed, she really did not like being in this triangle of love relationship.

"When are you going back to town x?" Ask Sarah again.

"Tomorrow the day after tomorrow" Sahut Haikal slowly.

"My retirement is over tomorrow, so I have to be right back".

"Are you going home empty-handed without any results?" Sarah asked back.

"What do you mean?".

Sarah chose to sit next to Haikal, as if she also had to give an extra lecture to the stupid man sitting in front of her.

"You came to the capital must have a purpose. Has your goal been realized?".

Haikal did not answer.

"I know your arrival here was for Anin's sake, and now I want to ask if you managed to get what you wanted?".

Sarah's question again disturbs Haikal's mind.

"I don't know, it looks like this matter is more complicated than I thought" he said.

"I thought that coming here could help Anin to solve the problems between her and her husband, but it turned out that things didn't go as I expected. Until now I have not received any certainty from Anin, both about the status of her marriage and the status of our relationship".

Haikal lowered his head, his mind so in a frenzy as he thought about his problem with Anin who did not yet have clarity.

"Are you going to keep Anin by your side even though you already know that Anin is still a wife?" Ask Sarah back.

"Am I wrong if I want to keep Anin by my side?" Answer Haikal.

"I love him and he loves me too, so what's wrong with us fighting for our relationship?".

Sarah smiled her cynical smile, she really did not get out of thought with the current Haikal mind path.

"There's nothing wrong at all, but did you forget that the woman you love already has a husband and can't you see that Anin is still putting her heart on her husband?" Sarah was full of emphasis.

"I don't understand what you mean?" Haikal did not like to hear Sarah's words.

"Your relationship wouldn't be this complicated if Anin didn't have a heart for her husband" Sarah said.

"Anin is here for a month but you can see that until now there is no definite clarity between your relationships. If Anin had no heart for her husband, she would have been separated from the marriage. But the truth is, until now Anin is still the wife of Mr. Rafael and she also became your pacarm".

"Not this relationship crazy, how can you put logic aside for the sake of an ego alone".

"Love! Heh! You are quibbling in the name of love but you yourself cannot interpret the meaning of love itself".

"Love gives happiness not pain that is not brimless like this. Love means an affectionate relationship, not hurting each other's feelings".

"Well, what kind of love are you currently living? Love that brings happiness or love that leads you to disappointment".

Haikal.

"Your relationship will continue like this if one of you is not willing to give up. Until whenever Anin still will not be able to make her choice because she loves you both at the same time" Sarah said again.

"Anin still loves Rafael that's why he can't bear to leave her, don't you realize that".

"Now that the choice is in your hands, you still want to fight for Anin or just let her go. And if you look at it from any side, your current position is wrong because you are between a husband and wife relationship that is still legally valid and also religious".

Sarah's words made Haikal's heart rumble, he must admit if all Sarah's words were true. Haikal was slapped when he realized his current position in the marriage relationship between a couple.

"And one more thing, try to think about whether your parents can accept Anin if they find out about this matter? Maybe at this time they do not know anything, but do not rule out the possibility if someday they will find out about this problem. You know exactly how your parents are, right? So you should also consider the matter".

"I go home first, and think well of my words. Think about how much opportunity you have right now. Maybe you can survive if indeed your chances are the greatest but if otherwise, I suggest you take a good step back and let Anin go back to her husband".

"Remember, love doesn't always have to have".

Sarah grabs her bag and decides to leave, giving Haikal time to think through all of her words. Sarah smiled bitterly as she realized what she had done these few days. Two days ago he had just advised Anin and today he also had to advise Haikal.

'Heh! Why do I feel like a really great romance consultant, when my own relationship never went smoothly'.

Haikal looked at Sarah's departure with a difficult to interpret, some of his heart admitted if Sarah's speech was true but some of his ego was still tight at his initial desire to keep his relationship with Anin.

.

Meanwhile, in a different place, Nindy was peering out to see the neighbor who lived next door. He repeatedly knocked on the door of Rafael's apartment but got no answer.

Last afternoon, Ardi said Rafael was out of town to control a project being handled by the company so he would be there for a few days.

"Am I on the phone" Nindy muttered to herself.

"Shall I ask him when he's coming home? But what if he won't answer my phone".

Concern began to enter his mind, even though Nindy still tried to reach his phone intending to contact the husband but he again canceled his intention.

"ah! Never mind, I better wait till he gets home. Besides, this thing can't be talked on the phone, I need to talk to her directly".

"I have to solve this problem before it gets any more complicated".

For several days Nindy was too focused on all the files given by her assistant, so she had no time to contact Rafael. Even Nindy herself had also forgotten that she had not given news to Haikal since the incident that night.

Time goes on and Nindy cannot continue to ignore the problems that are entangling her relationship, he must immediately make his choice before the time limit that the universe gives runs out until finally leaving a regret in his life. No one can guess the fate line in his life because it has been arranged by the owner of the universe.
