Stay or Leave

After David and his mother left, now Erwin sat back in the chair that David used to occupy. Erwin pinched his temples.

“I’m sorry, I have to take back what should be mine,” Erwin muttered, looking down and taking a photo of his mother from his wallet.

After several months of not seeing each other, Akmal and Ayunda finally meet again at Leo’s residence. Leo deliberately invites Akmal to have dinner at his house after previously reasoning about work.

dinner went on in silence, only occasionally Leo opened up a conversation with Akmal, and Akmal only responded modestly. Meanwhile Ayunda and Lisa were silent and listened to the conversation of the two men who occasionally discussed work.

“I’m done Sis, I’ll go to the room first, Sis?” Ayunda said goodbye to Leo when he finished his meal.

“Can we talk for a minute?” Akmal holds Ayunda.

“Please!’ Ayunda said briefly.

“I’m done too. Honey, let’s go to our room!” invite Leo to Lisa- his wife which Lisa nodded.

It seems that Leo and Lisa understand what Akmal means, who wants to talk privately with Ayunda. Therefore, Leo and Lisa immediately left the dining table after finishing their meal leaving Akmal and Ayunda alone.

“So? What do you want to talk about?” Ayunda asked Akmal after the departure of his brother and sister-in-law.

“Don’t you want to take me back? I’m ready to be the next father for the baby you’re carrying” Akmal said matter-of-factly.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Why until now, you still expect meYou know what I’m like right now, right?”

“From the past until now, I still have feelings of love for you Ayy. The more I try to forget you, the more I remember our togetherness” Akmal said as it is.

“But I’m a woman who lacks a lot mas, especially with my current status, won’t you be ashamed later with your friends? you can still get much better than me and of course with the status of never married” Ayunda said who immediately got a shake of the head from Akmal.

“I’ve never had a problem with it, I also lack a lot. we will complement each other with our respective shortcomings” said Akmal. Ayunda who heard Akmal’s narrative was touched, because it turned out that Akmal was really loyal to him. Ayunda did not think that Akmal still loves him to this day.

As many people say, regret always comes at the end. It’s the same with Ayunda, who used to not listen to Akmal’s reasons and prefers to marry David, whose parents always interfere in their children’s household matters. Akmal is a man who is loyal, patient and always a support for Ayunda when he was still dating. His quiet and mature figure made Ayunda fall in love with her brother’s best friend.

“So how?” Asked Akmal who interrupted Ayunda’s daydream. Ayunda who heard Akmal’s voice asking him, suddenly turned around and without saying anything else, Ayunda nodded her head.

Akmal who saw Ayunda just nodded his head, intending to ask again but before his lips spoke, Ayunda said something first.

“I want to marry you. However, I ask you one thing. Please! Treat my son as your own,” Ayunda said with pleading eyes.

“I told you no, I’m willing to be his father. So don’t worry, okay!” said Akmal.

“Hmm, thank you,” Ayunda said slowly, nodding her head.

“I will marry you after this baby is born,” said Akmal.

After repeatedly asking Ayunda to come back to him, Akmal finally realized Akmal’s wish, although not completely because he still had to wait until Ayunda gave birth.

The next day at David’s residence, Bella returned to her husband’s house. but apparently not well received by Mrs. Ratih.

“I’m sorry ma’am” Bella said looking down, because she did feel guilty.

“What a coincidence you came here, here’s an autograph and get out of my life!” said David, who had just arrived at his house and handed something to Bella.

“What is this sir?” Bella asked David.

“Divorce papers,” David replied casually as he strolled past Bella and sat down on the couch.

“But mas, I” Bella’s words were cut off by David.

“Come on, hurry up and signor do you want me to throw you in jail on charges of theft” snapped David in a high voice making Bella surprised and without wasting time Bella immediately signed the divorce papers.

“Come out!” David ordered after Bella handed the file to David.

“Huft” David sighed after Bella left.

“How is it Dav, have you found a client you want to work with?” Mrs. Ratih asked David.

“Not yet, David is dizzy. Please mom, don’t make David more dizzy,” said David.

Well, it turned out that in the branch company, all investors withdrew their shares and David had to find a client who he wanted to work with, but there wasn’t a client that David wanted to work with because the company was still small.
