Let You Sick: Husband Not Considered
Episode 25: Your False Attention Is, I'm Happy
"I'm ready, let's go to the market" said Qadirah who was heading to the man who was waiting.
Seeing the woman he was waiting for heading towards him, his eyes instantly rounded as if seeing something he had never seen before.
"Until when is Aidan gonna look at me like that?" Ask Qadirah after arriving nearby.
"Hmmm, I. let's go" said Aidan who was surprised to hear the question that was uttered Qadirah. I don't know how many times he showed that stupefied look, which must be currently his chest pounding very fast irregularly.
In his heart, Aidan asked why the woman who had a cold nature to him, just wanted to walk with him. Even though to sit with him alone is very difficult for him to invite. What did Miss Hanna just say to him?. He thought as he headed towards the direction where his car was parked.
After a few minutes they were in the car in complete silence, they arrived at a traditional market. There samira bought all necessities such as vegetables, meat, fish, and spices for the purposes of a week. Aidan was swiftly, as if a husband was accompanying his wife to the market, carrying the item with a smile and occasionally grimacing because the luggage was getting heavier. For the sake of Qadirah, Aidan was willing to surround the traditional market for almost an hour longer.
Tired is not a barrier to get the woman he considers the best woman. A woman who can be made her life companion. The woman who has lived the bitterness and harshness of this life, which makes the woman forced to hitch a ride on the lives of others. That reason is what currently makes Aidan willing to do everything to get the woman who was sitting next to him, in the car to the house 'former lover' the woman.

Somewhere else.
"Where are you going?!." asked Rafiq who saw Samira wearing an unusual shirt she wore during her time with him, and it seemed like Samira was going out to meet someone.
"You go to my friend's house" replied Samira. He also does not know where he will be and the friend who invited him to meet, but he is currently waiting for the next notification from his friend, who is now heading somewhere.
Unable to stop Samira from leaving, Rafiq can only let her go. He could only look at his wife until she disappeared from his sight into the front porch of the house. Holding back means he has to fight back against Samira and must be ready to answer the various questions that will come out of Samira's mouth, and that's what he wants to avoid, so Samira feels not depressed.
In his heart, he could only hope and pray. I hope Samira will get pregnant again soon. But with the current conditions, it feels like it would be impossible. He thought, then brushed it off.
During Samira's time in college, only two of her best friends are known by Rafiq, Putri and Ghea. Contacting them Rafiq thought a thousand times, fearing to enter the realm of Samirah's privacy, even though he was his wife, Maybe this is one of the rights Samira had mentioned, it was, the right that he needs and wants to have a space that should not be interfered with by Rafiq, as well as his work. But instead they are pairs of husband and wife, who likes and sorrows of each of them will they bear together together?, and also not the disgrace of the wife is the disgrace of the husband as well, and vice versa?. Thought again.
"If you don't need my attention, at least slowly land you can accept me as your husband. I don't need to be loved by you. False attention was enough to make me very happy" her inner self.
TING!
Notifikaai incoming message from Samirah's cell phone reads. There's a message there.
"Ordinary place 'West Cafe', near the campus" so the message that Samira is currently reading. Immediately, Samira walked out of her house without saying goodbye to her husband. And she felt no need to say goodbye to her husband because he had been asked by her husband earlier and also had been answered. How thought.

"Hi Mir!. Haven't seen you in a long time, just let me know you don't exist. Don't you want to see me anymore?" Ask Putri when Samira is already nearby in 'West Cafe', a place they used to visit after returning home from college.
"It's not so Put. I have to take care of my household and.., I have a lot more to do. Oh right, what's the matter when you just take me to meet?" Clearly the princess and then asked the intention of their sudden meeting.
'Oh, that's Mir. Yesterday I was on the phone with your ex-boyfriend, Dannar"
"What's wrong with him?, is he sick?, how's he doing?" cut Samira in a panicked tone of voice, as if still worrying about her ex-lover.
"No, he's fine. You still worried about him?" Ask princess
There was no answer from his best friend's mouth.
"Keep why don't you marry her if you still love her Mir?" Princess who later felt that Samira still had a sense with her ex-lover.
"If I'm to be honest with you, Put. I really still love him. But, at that time I had to decide on her and.., choose to marry the man my parents chose"
"That time?.. and now what?" Princess asked wanted to clarify Samira's words earlier.
There was no more answer coming out of his best friend's mouth.
"If you still love him, why don't you fight for him?, why don't you convince your parents that your choice is the best?" Samira.
"I've tried Put. As far as I can, I've tried it. But, I had to give up for my parents' sake" explained Samira.
"So far from now you still love her?" Princess asked to be sure.
"I don't know Put either. I'm just trying to live my life"
"Then he arrived, he called me. He said he would love to see you. She misses wanting to see your face" explained the Princess, when she heard what Samira said, she did not get the answer she wanted there.
"I can't Put. What if Rafiq sees me with him, and what if my parents know that I'm seeing him?"
"Then make your choice, your husband or your ex-lover" said the Princess.
"For that matter, it's none of my business. I can tell you enough, and then please think for yourself. This is the number" said the Princess while thrusting a piece of paper with a number on it.
"Was he the one who asked me to call him?, why didn't he just call me?" Samira asked, feeling strange.
"Maybe, he just wants to know, if you call him, that means he can still expect you, and if he doesn't, then he's no longer any hope of coming back with you Mir" obviously Princess.
Between wanting to take a paper that says his ex-girlfriend's number or leave it on the table Cafe. Samira is again faced with the same choice, as she was before marriage. The choice is between sticking with her husband or picking up the paper and contacting her ex-boyfriend. Connecting with her means giving Dannar hope to start a relationship with her again.
