Don't Be Hurt

"I know it's not easy to forget first love, Daf. I understand that," said Almira, cutting Daffa's words.

"It's not like that, Al. Actually I also don't know how I really feel. I don't know how to explain it to you. I don't know if I still love him or not? But what is clear, the anger, disappointment, and hatred in my heart are bigger for him," said Daffa with a heavy sigh..

"Did you know, Daph? People say, love and hate is only blocked by a wall that is so thin. Sometimes, people can't tell if the feeling they have is really hate or the opposite. Daf, I've been hurt because of Rian's betrayal. I am also disappointed and hate what he has done to me. I just don't want that to happen again. My heart is not strong enough to accept it," said Almira with a heavy sigh.

"What do you mean, Al?" Daffa asked uncertainly.

"I want you to make sure how you really feel. If you really still love Anjani, go back to her now. I don't want to, when I've completely surrendered my heart to you. You gave me that wound. Hurt because you prefer her, the woman in your past," Almira whispered at the end of her words.

Daphne took a deep breath. He didn't even know how he felt. There was no way he could deduce who his heart really wanted. Is it Almira? Or is it Anjani?

Daphne was silent for a long time. Trying to dive into the deepest desires of his heart. Anjani now comes at a time when he has tried the relationship with Almira. Tearing back the wounds that once existed.

Even if there is a woman that Daffa has to defend, shouldn't it be Almira? But Daffa couldn't really conclude that he had more feelings for his wife. Their one week together made Daffa get used to Almira. However, can it be directly called love?

"Think carefully, Daph! Don't let there be wounds between us," said Almira, leaving Daffa.

Daffa just stared blankly at his wife's slender back which was slowly disappearing behind the bathroom door. Really, he couldn't determine anything at the moment.

Tok …. Tok …. Tok ….

"Excuse me sir. This is the food that Master asked Auntie to prepare," said Bik Marni bringing food for Daffa's lunch.

"Thank you, Bik. Keep it there first, because Almira is going to the bathroom first!" Daffa asked, pointing to the small table in her room.

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Marni immediately served the food on the table. After everything was ready, Bi Marni immediately withdrew out of Daffa's room.

Ceklek.

Almira came out with a fresh face. However, the woman's red nose couldn't cover if Almira had just cried.

"Let's have lunch first, Al," said Daffa and was immediately answered by a silent nod by his wife.

Almira immediately sat on the sofa, took her food and ate without looking at her husband.

Daphne could only exhale roughly. Maybe they really need time to just calm each other's heart.

The man began to enjoy his meal. The silence between the two was clearly quite uncomfortable.

Usually, there are always small fights between the two of them. Even if it's a trivial thing.

"Daf, after this I'm allowed to leave. I want to spend time with Violla," said Almira breaking the silence between them.

"Do I need to take you?" Daffa asked while looking at his wife's face.

Almira shook her head in response.

"No need. I'm not coming home late, okay? I just want to enjoy a little time outside, it won't be long," Almira refused because she really needed to calm her heart.

"Fine, but if there's anything, please call me," Daffa asked and Almira nodded her head.

Even though the love is not there yet, but anyone will be sad if the relationship that has only been established for a few days is faced with a fairly complicated test.

Daffa doesn't want to be selfish, so that's why she allows Almira to spend time with her friends.

Maybe that's what Daffa will do later. At least, with the presence of people who really understand how he is, it will make you feel calmer. Daffa also wanted to ask for the best solution she had to take. After all, marriage isn't a commitment that can be toyed with at will.

***

After their lunch was over, Almira immediately got ready to leave. Incidentally, it will be time to come home from work so he can immediately pick up Violla at his company.

"Al, I'm also going out to meet my friends. Later, if you want to go home, you can call me, yes, so we can go home together," said Daffa making Almira stop her makeup activities.

"All right, I'll let you know where I'm going. You see, Violla hasn't said where we're going to spend our time," Almira answered plainly.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower first. You have to remember to call me if you want to go home," Daffa repeated before actually going to the bathroom.

"Yes, I will."

Daffa smiled a little at his wife then immediately went into the bathroom. Almira could only stare at her husband's straight back with an uncertain feeling.

"Hopefully whatever happens, it's for the best. I hope, we're both happy in the end," Almira muttered when her husband's body was out of sight.

Because her appearance was neat, Almira immediately went to get her bag and cellphone. He turned once more towards the bathroom door before actually leaving.

Arriving at the gate, coincidentally the taxi he ordered was waiting. That made Almira not take long to immediately slide out of the courtyard of her husband's luxurious house.

Along the way, his thoughts kept on Daffa and the fate of their relationship in the future. I don't know what it will be like, and whether they can pass all the tests, Almira doesn't know either.

Only goodness and all goodness are always recited in his heart. Hopefully no one will get hurt later.

The sound of an incoming message notification on her cellphone, distracted Almira's focus. The woman immediately saw who had texted her.

In fact, it was Violla who asked her whereabouts because it turned out that the woman had already left the office.

Almira chose to ignore the message from her best friend, because she happened to be close.

Until a few moments later, Almira's taxi stopped in front of a luxurious office that actually belonged to Almira's own family.

After giving him a red bill, Almira immediately got out of the car. Seen if his friend was waiting not far from there.

However, just as Almira was about to take a step, the grip on her hand made the woman turn around.

"You?"

"We have to talk Almira!"
