The Forsaken Heart Flakes
Chapter 9

Emma and Nadira talk long enough, or rather Emma who tells about the bad behavior of Danu, Nadira's husband. The young lady several times let out a long sigh as. He did not expect that Emma would be the first to know about the poor nature of Danu behind Nadira.

Oh God ... What exactly is it that Mas Danu has been hiding from me? Why did I get to this kind of a miss? nadira's inner self-tightened. He who used to be willing to leave his family and not listen to the words of his parents because he loved and trusted Danu so much, so he chose his own way. But now he himself is disappointed with his choice.

"Nad, are you okay?" emma asked, holding Nadira's hand.

"I don't know, Em. I can't say that I'm okay. But ...." Nadira took a deep breath. He did not want to show his disappointment in front of others. So, Nadira just bowed lethargic.

"Nad, I understand how you feel. Nor do I intend to make your household ruined, but .. I also cannot close my eyes when I know my friend's husband is secretly playing behind her."

"You don't have to feel guilty, Em. Instead, I should be thanking you for telling me something important like this, before more people know about it" Nadira replied, forcing herself to smile. He did not want others to see the destruction of his heart at this moment.

Emma looked at Nadira with teary eyes. He himself could not help Nadira any further if the woman did not want him. However, he will be ready if one day Nadira comes and asks for his help.

"Hopefully the problem you are facing can be resolved soon, Nad." Emma patted Nadira on the shoulder to give her support. "Whenever you need my help, just come, Nad. Don't hold it yourself" he continued.

"Thank you, Em. At least now I know what is going on in my household" Nadira said with a bitter smile.

"Nadira ...." Emma looked at Nadira with an unusual look. Although the woman before him was currently smiling, she knew that it was just a fake smile covering the wound.

"Nad, I'm really sorry. Because of me, you–"

"You don't have to apologize, Em. I don't blame you at all for what happened to my household." Nadira immediately understood Emma's words. She didn't want to make Emma feel bad for her.

"Yes already. We better get home now. I don't want your husband to wait too long!" cut off Nadira while standing from her seat.

Emma nodded and got up. Afterwards, the two women walked towards the factory gate. The atmosphere that afternoon was still jammed and very crowded vehicles. Actually Nadira did not expect Danu to come pick her up. For some reason, she feels sanctions for the attitude Danu showed her.

As usual, Nadira will walk to the shop first, in addition to there where Danu used to wait for him, in that place also many cars are stopping waiting for passengers. Nadira walks half-dreaming, he does not pay attention to the surroundings and is only focused forward or on the cars lined up there. But when passing through the shophouse, Nadira's ear accidentally heard someone calling his name.

"Nad, Nadira!"

The woman stopped her steps and turned to the origin of the voice.

"Mas Danu?" muttered Nadira while frowning his forehead. She was a little surprised by her husband's presence. In fact, Nadira previously thought that Danu would not pick him up, especially after this morning he left him on the side of the road just like that.

"Why are you quiet, Nad? I've been calling you!" namel Danu while pulling the hand of Nadira who was still silent looking at him.

"Huh? Oh, no ... Mas. Sorry, I was not focused, maybe because of the soy sauce again," replied Nadira bluntly.

"Ck. I didn't ask you how you were." Danu clucked while turning his face away. "You cape or not, I don't care" he said, instantly flattening Nadira's face.

Huh, what am I thinking? There's no way that Mas Danu will suddenly notice? After all, she had also not cared about my feelings, Nadira's mind when she saw her husband's reaction.

"I'm sorry for making you wait so long." Nadira was about to grab the helmet on the motorcycle seat. However, his movements suddenly stopped because of the sound of Danu's phone ringing and attracting his attention.

Danu seemed to turn her head towards Nadira as she was about to answer the call. The man's facial features instantly changed as he read the newly-entered message on his phone, right after Danu missed the call.

"Why is the look on your face so tense, Mas?" ask Nadira. It was undeniable that his heart suddenly felt hot and upset. Remembering Emma's words, Nadira again felt hurt and upset. Her husband dared to play tricks on her.

"Mmmh, anu, Nad–" Danu looks confused.

"Why?"

"Mmm, I can't seem to take you home. I suddenly had some business. So, you go home by yourself, huh?" ask Danu.

"You got a sudden order so you can't take me home yet, Mom?" nadira asked in a stifled annoyed voice.

"Akh, you won't understand. Anyway I can't drive you. You go home alone!" Without waiting for the rejection from Nadira again, Danu immediately put on his helmet and turned on the bike, before finally he left Nadira who was still standing there alone.

"Again?" nadira asked herself.

Again Mas Danu left me like a gini? muttered. Too bad for you, Mas! continue Nadira again while clenching her hands.

Today Nadira has twice been disappointed by her husband. However, at least this time he was able to go home without worrying because he had money for the cost of going home. In addition, Nadira can also be a little more relaxed and do not need to rush like this morning.

Now Nadira chooses not to think too much about what Danu did to her. Disappointment and pain were of course in his heart, but he also had to think about Tiara, his little daughter whom he had sacrificed for the sake of Danu's desire to tell him to work.
