Stay or Leave

“So when are you going to marry me Akmal?” Nadia asked Akmal who was in his apartment. today is the weekend so Akmal doesn’t go to work, and early in the morning Akmal has a guest who is none other than a woman who is currently collecting the promise Akmal made at the lake at that time.

Akmal sighed before answering the question of the girl sitting in front of him. Actually it is very difficult for Akmal to keep his promise, but he has no other choice.

“What exactly do you want from me?” asked Akmal looking at Nadia with a look that is difficult to interpret.

“Do you have anything of value?” instead of answering Nadia, she turned to ask if there was Akmal.

“You already know that I don’t have anything of value, then why do you insist on wanting me to marry you?” Akmal asked again by raising an eyebrow and looking directly at Nadia’s eyes, Nadia who was being looked at like that became nervous.

“Love, because I love you from the past until now” Nadia replied after a moment of silence.

“Then what about this man?” Akmal asked while showing Nadia a photo of a man and a woman through his cellphone. The portrait of the woman next to the man doesn’t need to be explained anymore, because it’s a photo of Nadia.

Nadia saw a photo of herself with a man that Akmal showed with a surprised look, but Nadia immediately changed her surprise. Nadia tries to calmly answer Akmal’s question who asks about the photo of the man on his cellphone.

“No one, he’s just my friend” replied Nadia as casually as possible, but Akmal could see that Nadia was nervous.

“I know you set me up first, you worked with David to make Ayunda and me separate. David managed to get Ayunda, but you still hope for me. I admit you are beautiful and smart, but the heart can’t be forced. I also know your relationship with that man was real. Even though I have to risk my happiness, but I will still marry you. However, you must first decide on your lover,” Akmal said as his eyes did not leave Nadia’s eyes.

Nadia is quite surprised by Akmal’s confession who knows everything what he has planned.

“I,,, I…” Nadia was about to say something to Akmal stammering, but was interrupted by Akmal.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“You don’t need to tell me anything, I just ask you to decide on your lover, if you still want me to marry you. However, if you haven’t decided yet, I’m sorry I can’t marry youoh yes, I also thank you because you have helped Ayunda” said Akmal which instantly made Nadia silent. Nadia could no longer lie to Akmal because Akmal already knew all his plans. Nadia does love Akmal, but if she wants to let go of the man who posed with her on Akmal’s cellphone earlier, Nadia can’t. Nadia still needs his help, it’s okay, the man is very generous to Nadia, whatever Nadia asks for will definitely be fulfilled. the only thing that Nadia couldn’t get from that man was marriage, for some reason he didn’t want to marry Nadia. Nadia didn’t know the reason either.

“Okay,” Nadia said briefly and then got up from her seat and left Akmal’s apartment without saying goodbye to the host who just stared at Nadia, without rebuking her.

Akmal rubbed the bridge of his nose while closing his eyes for a moment after Nadia was out of sight.

“Mom, when Nana grows up, she wants to be a doctor, so that she can treat Mother and Mother not to be sick anymore,” said Leona, who is usually called Nana, talking to Ayunda in her child’s typical voice.

“Of course dear, not only the mother who must be treated, but everyone who needs Nana’s help too” Ayunda said while stroking her niece’s hair.

“Yes mom. Mamah, Papa, Nana wants to go to school that is diligent and active so that she becomes a great doctor” Nana said while facing Leo and Lisa who were sitting not far from Ayunda and Leona.

“Yes, that’s why Nana studies diligently,” said Leo.

In the midst of their laughter, Ayunda actually still feels sadness. Will he be able to become a responsible parent, if his child is born? Then what if his son asked the figure of a papa.

“I noticed you’ve been out of the house a lot lately,” David said to Bella. Currently David and Bella are also at home together, David is holding his little daughter while Bella is sitting next to him.

“I’m also bored, mas, if I stay at home all the timeI also want to hang out with other friends,” Bella said casually.

“You are already married, already have children, why do you still want to be freeIf you still want to be free with your friends, don’t get married yet.” David spoke to Bella by raising his voice, causing Bianca who was on his lap to gasp in surprise.

“Sir, take it slow.. Besides, in the past, Ms. Ayunda was also rarely at home, always working and working,” Bella said as she grabbed her daughter and handed it over to the nurse who took care of her.

“Bring Bianca to play, sis,” Bella said to the nurse.

“Ayunda is not at home because of Bell’s work, while youAfter all, Ayunda always comes home before I go home and Ayunda always welcomes me when I come home from work,” said David, holding back the roar of anger that was ready to be exploded.

“Why are you comparing me to Ms. Ayu, bro, then why are you divorcing Ms. Ayu?” snapped Bella.

“You’re the one who started comparing yourself to Ayunda” replied David

“Well, why don’t you just refer to Ms. Ayu if you want to always be welcomed when you come home from work,” Bella said.

“I’ve chosen you, you should feel lucky because you’ve become my only wife. Instead of just being out of the house without saying goodbye and coming home late at night,” David said breathlessly.

“Come on, mas, I’m tired of arguing with you all the time” after saying that, Bella walked away leaving David who was holding back his anger.

“You don’t know yourself,” David growled.
