Stay or Leave

After a long time, Akmal finally arrived at Leo’s office, which was none other than Ayunda’s older sister.

Akmal immediately entered his superior’s room after first knocking on the door and his boss allowing him to enter.

“Sorry I’m late, sir,” Akmal said to Leo, who was none other than his boss.

“Where are you from?” Leo asked.

“From…” Akmal’s words were cut off by Leo.

“Come on,” Leo cut in.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Leo continued, staring intently at Akmal.

“Nothing,” replied Akmal.

“Hmmm, maybe right now my sister’s household is in a bad condition. But you also don’t look for opportunities to return to Ayunda because after all, Ayunda has a husband,” said Leo, who seemed to already know his brother’s past with his best friend.

“Do you know?” asked Akmal who was now starting to talk like a friend, not a superior and a subordinate.

“I just found out about you guys but I don’t want to interfere because it’s just the past, I’m just reminding you as my best friend, don’t complicate the problem Ayu is facing now. because later it will add to the problem for Ayu in front of her husband’s family,” said Leo.

“Thank you for reminding me,” said Akmal.

“You also have the right to be happy Mal, find another woman to accompany your lifeIt’s not that I pray for my sister’s household to fail, but even if Ayunda separates from David later, I don’t want to let Ayunda experience times like this again. Moreover, Ayunda has shortcomings that are not trivial, so I hope you also understand. Do you understand what I mean? Leo said at length.

However, Leo didn’t want his sister to remarry to experience the same thing as this time, which was ridiculed for not having children.

“I have let go of my past with Ayunda and for the problem of my soul mate, I just leave it to GodI also don’t have hope for Ayunda anymore, because I already know that we are not matched,” said Akmal.

After that, they returned to their professional work as usual.

David arrived at his office with a disheveled appearance and it made the employees who saw him feel strange, because so far his boss had always looked neat, masculine and charismatic.

David immediately entered his room and called his assistant to come to his room via an intercom call.

“Excuse me sir” Miko said to her boss.

“Please order breakfast for me” said DavidThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“You have two wives, why is your appearance now so messy?” Miko said boldly rebuking her boss.

“I’m dizzy, Ayunda didn’t come home last night,” said David.

Well, they’re used to talking to each other, so Miko isn’t too awkward either.

“Where is Mrs. Ayu?” asked Miko curiously.

“I don’t know, better hurry up and order breakfast, I’m hungry,” said David again, which was nodded by Miko.

During the day in an apartment a woman wriggled her body and slowly opened her eyes. Yes, it’s Ayunda who just woke up, because Ayunda just closed her eyes before morning.

Ayunda got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to clean herself.

Thirty minutes passed, Ayunda came out of the bathroom already fully clothed. After that, Ayunda walked out of the room to the kitchen to find groceries because she was hungry.

but his intention was stopped when he saw something on the dining table, Ayunda walked to the table collar and opened the food cover, apparently there was already food that Akmal put this morning. Ayunda took the paper beside her and read it.

“You can warm it up before you eat it,” the paper said.

Even without a name listed there, Ayunda already knows who sent the food, who else if not Akmal. Because it’s only him and Akmal who know the apartment.

“Why does Akmal still care about me, even though I have disappointed him by not wanting to listen to his explanation at that time and I actually married a close friend too?” Ayunda muttered while eating the food that was already on the table without warming it first.

After finishing her meal, Ayunda returned to her room.

“Looks like I have to go home, I don’t want to bother Akmal if I’m still here. Does David miss me?” Ayunda said to herself while facing the mirror.

“Of course not, doesn’t your husband have another wife now. Don’t expect too much, Ayunda” Ayunda answered in her own monologue

“I want to have children, I have to be able to fight this disease. I’m sure I can, whatever happens I will be strong. If later God doesn’t give me a long life, at least I can give birth to a child for Mas David. Surely Mas David will still love me if I can conceive” Ayunda continued while wiping the tears that were dripping down her cheeks.

After a long monologue alone, Ayunda decides to consult a gynecologist after Ayunda previously sent a message to Akmal not to come here again because he was going home.

Now Ayunda has arrived at the hospital for a consultation. After waiting for a while, Ayunda’s name finally got a call.

“Good afternoon ma’am, please have a seat” the doctor greeted Ayunda when Ayunda entered his room.

“Thank you doc” Ayunda replied with a smile on her lips.

“Can I help you ma’am?” asked the Doctor with the tag name Sari.

“I want to consult about pregnancy, doc, what if I have a history of this disease can I get pregnant until I give birth later?” Ayunda asked while handing an envelope with a hospital logo stating that Ayunda was seriously ill.

then the doctor opened the envelope and read it carefully. After understanding it, the doctor gave Ayunda an answer.

“Are you sure about this decision?” Doctor Sari asked Ayunda.

“Yes doc, I’m very sure” Ayunda answered for sure.

“Has it been discussed with your husband before?” asked the doctor again.

“He’em” Ayunda replied nodding her head.

“I can’t decide for myself Ma’am, I also have to discuss this with the doctor who treats your illness,” said Doctor Sari.

“Yes, doc, I will wait for the doctor’s decision” Ayunda replied.

“Okay, I’ll call you later if the doctor who treats you has given an answer,” said the doctor.

“Yes, thank you, doc,” replied Ayunda, who was nodded by Doctor Sari who looked at Ayunda with pity.
