ENTANGLED IN WIDOW'S PLEA
PROTECTING HERLINA

Zaki was really serious about getting Herlina married. Zaki has now taken care of all the needs of his marriage together with Herlina. Of course, both of them have met their parents. Herlina's extended family and Zaki's extended family have met. The two discussed the marriage of their daughter and son.

Herlina and Zaki's extended family are now in the home of Herlina's parents on the outskirts of the city. It is not the home of Herlina that was once occupied by Herlina in the metropolis. Herlina's house which he left a few months because of the incident he always terrorized by someone and also at the raids by some residents because he acted immoral along with Mr. Leon, he said, RT in the housing of his residence.

As their two extended families meet and chat about their son and daughter's wedding plans, Zaki takes Herlina around and shopping for something. Herlina according to what Zaki wants.

In that car, Herlina was like a princess who was flattered and spoiled by Zaki. All the past and also the disgrace of Herlina closed the Meetings. Zaki and Herlina now focus on the path now without going back to remembering and looking for the ugliness of their respective partners.

Zaki drove his car at moderate speed, splitting the road that started to jam. Unceasingly Herlina stared at Zaki's face which seemed focused on looking at the road ahead.

"Don't keep looking at me, baby! I am really handsome! So, whoever my wife is, she is the luckiest woman in the world" Zaki said confidently. Herlina smiled still unblinking looking at her future husband.

"Really! I am that lucky woman! Are you sure you're gonna marry me, Mom?" ask Herlina.

In her heart she felt sorry for Zaki, her future husband. If she really would marry her already sick self. Until now, Herlina has not told all to Zaki about his disease which is fairly virulent and deadly. But the disease is not a contagious disease. But Herlina already likes Zaki, the man who is currently beside her. Starting from his date with Zaki, Zaki finally seriously wants to marry him. Herlina is a woman who has had several relationships with many men. It's very different with Zaki. Zaki only had that intimate relationship with her.

At the time of the first date with a masked man who is none other than Zaki that, for the first time Zaki had intercourse with the opposite sex. And that was with Herlina. Although Herlina was no longer a virgin when doing that relationship with Zaki, but Zaki felt comfortable and did not mind her.

Still in the car, now Zaki is smiling glancing at Herlina who still can not be separated looking at her.

"What is the matter with you, baby? See me up to that?" ask Zaki.

"It's okay! Oh yeah, how's Akila? I want to meet Akila and tell her we're married" Herlina said.

Indeed, after the incident that resulted in Akila's face being damaged, Akila was no longer working back at Pak Diandra's company. Where the company still works is Herlina and also Zaki. Zaki still gets a good position in the company as an assistant, confidant of Mr. Diandra and also holds the company's finances.

"After we look for something and shop, we will stop by Akila's house. Okay?" said Zaki.

"Thank you, baby! I want to apologize to Akila, because of me he had to have this accident," said Herlina.

"You're not wrong, baby! This was all Akila's fate as well. And maybe also because he has evil intentions towards you, uh finally he himself is exposed directly from his own actions" said Zaki. Herlina frowned.

"What do you mean, baby? I don't understand" said Herlina.

"Later, I will explain it to you. I'm driving again, baby. We'll soon be in the city's shopping center" Zaki said.

"Okay, alright!" sahut Herlina's. Zaki shuffled Herlina's hair in a fit of rage. Herlina feels like a lucky woman right now.

@@@@@@@

"Herlina!" someone shouted his name. Now Herlina and Zaki turned to the source of the voice. Herlina widened her eyes. He was shocked when he saw who called his name.

Of course Herlina was scared and became worried if Zaki knew who the person who had called her name was. While a man came to Zaki and Herlina with a cynical smile.

"Oh so great of you, Herlina! Is there a new man? It's great! It's great!" said the man, clapping his hands. Herlina looked at the man with a look of dislike.

"Meet me Bambang! Herlina's lover" said the man who called himself Bambang. Bambang stretched out his hand to shake Zaki's hand which was now on Herlina's side. Zaki of course welcomed Bambang's hand well. There is no hate there. Only Zaki looked at Bambang and Herlina in turn. Zaki wants to find out who Bambang is who has claimed to be Herlina's lover.

"Darling, we better get out of here! We do not need to serve this man" said Herlina, holding Zaki's hand to get away from Bambang. But Bambang still followed Zaki and Herlina who walked into the shopping center.

"Why did Bambang cause trouble?" inner Herlina in agitation.

"How dear? That guy following us? Who the hell is he?" ask Zaki.

"She..he's my ex! I'll tell you everything, yeah" said Herlina.

"Then we go into that restaurant first! Who knows if the man wants to talk to us," Zaki asked as he pulled Herlina's hand to enter the restaurant. Bambang still followed the two of them. Finally with a friendly attitude Zaki invites Bambang to join together in their seats. Herlina was of course very arrogant and hated Bambang.

"Now what do you want to say! Go ahead! I'll listen" Zaki asked. Bambang now becomes scratching his head that does not itch.

"Round I ask you, you shut up! This Herlina is my future wife, mas! While you said that Herlina is your lover. So, which one is right?" zaki said he was now like a judge between the two defendants. Herlina was silent to let Bambang speak.

"Right, I'm an ex-Herlina! But just so you know, this Herlina has had many times body relations with me. Would you not be disgusted if Herlina had done it with me. And after that, either a few times after me, Herlina flocked to change partners after me" Bambang said with a grin. Herlina blushed her eyes staring intently at Bambang's eyeballs.

Herlina is now resigned if Zaki thwarts marriage with her. Herlina was silent and lowered her head. Herlina did not want to defend herself. In reality, he was right, often changing partners and one of them with Bambang.

"Then, what do you want? I love Herlina! I'm getting married to Herlina. I don't care about Herlina's past! Now get out of here and don't bother us anymore!" said Zaki. Herlina raised her face looking at Zaki. Herlina does not believe that Zaki will defend her. Herlina's tears began to glaze over. The clear crystal in his eyes had now escaped already without him asking.

"Zaki!" said Herlina lirih. Zaki grabbed Herlina's hand and rubbed the back of her hand gently.

While Bambang came out of the restaurant after Zaki said so to him.

"From now on, there'll be nothing to put you down, baby! You are now my woman, my future wife. Soon you will be my wife" said Zaki. Herlina was getting more and more her tears fell. Herlina really did not expect that she would be defended by Zaki.

"Thank you, Mas Zaki! Thanks!" herlina.

"Cup.cup..my dear! Remove your tears! Don't cry anymore Dad! Shame on many people" said Zaki, making Herlina calm and peaceful.
