LAMHA AND MR. EL
Four Eyes

Novi and Nikcholas were in the guest room, after Nikcholas had asked permission to speak to Mr. El and also Lamha because Nikcholas wanted to speak privately.

"Nov, please listen to my explanation first, please." Nickholas pleaded.

"Novi has heard everything Mas Iko, everyone! mas Iko's past, including the revenge of Mas Iko to Mr. El," said Novi.

"Novi knows everything, Novi thought initially only Novi was the victim, but it turns out that Kak Lamha had already become a victim of Mas Iko's abomination! Novi can't accept all this!" novi said with tears breaking.

"Yes I admit I was wrong for that, and I'm very sorry, but please don't leave me Nov, I can't be away from you" Nickholas said.

"Sorry Mas but this time Mas Iko's mistake can not be tolerated anymore, because it has dropped and demeaned a Muslim woman. This is too cruel, unforgivable. Even if Mas Iko is in prison, it is still not worth the pain and sadness felt by Kak Lamha," Novi said in a hoarse voice.

"And it may leave a trauma in Sister Lamha. Novi could not imagine when Kak Lamha saw the face of Mas Iko, he must have been ringing with the most painful incident. How can we live together? Can't, Mas" he continued.

"Nov, I beg you, I will do anything as long as you do not leave me, if necessary I will bow at Lamha's feet" Nikcholas said.

"Mas Iko doesn't need to do it all, after all for what Mas Iko still wants Novi? Is it because Mas Iko has not been satisfied to take revenge on lord El?" ask Novi.

"No, not for revenge" answered Nikcholas quickly.

"Then for what? What reason?" ask Novi.

"The reason is because I love you Nov, I am not ready to lose the woman I love for the second time" said Nickolas Lirih.

Novi closed his mouth in disbelief at what Nikcholas had just said.

"Ma-Mas Iko was joking, right?" ask Novi with a stammer.

"Did you see me joking?" Nikcholas asked back. He looked into Novi's eyes deeply, then achieved the delicate hand that Nickholas missed so much for a few days. Hope Novi can feel the sincerity of his love.

"This is impossible" Novi said as he removed his hand from Nickholas' hand.

"Why is it impossible?" ask Nickholas.

"Because in Mas Iko's heart there is only Patricia" Novi replied as he turned his face away.

"Novi remains in disbelief, because Mas Iko is still a grudge against Mr. El, that means Mas Iko still loves Patricia," said Novi.

"Nov, if El had only taken Patricia I wouldn't have been this angry, but they took my father Nov, you know, every day my mother cries for Dad's departure, even today. You don't know what kind of suffering I feel because of the El family. Never mind, there is no point in explaining" said Nickolas resigned.

"If you don't want to be with me anymore, it doesn't matter. But I will never divorce you for life" Nickholas said, turning to leave the room.

"Wait For Me!" hold Novi.

"Why?" ask Nickholas who is back to being cold.

"Novi's answer depends on Kak Lamha's answer, if Kak Lamha would forgive Mas Iko and would accept Mas Iko as his Sister-in-law, Novi would return with Mas Iko. But if instead, Novi apologizes, our relationship is finished here, Novi hopes Mas Iko can understand Novi's decision" said Novi.

Nickolas said nothing, he walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of the grudge that has enveloped my heart and my mind" Nickolas told Lamha. They were in a closed room with Asih maam accompanying Lamha. Mr. El himself was not allowed to enter by Lamha, for fear that her husband could not hold back his emotions.

"Then after apologizing to me, what do you expect from me? Getting sorry and taking Novi back to Paris, is that it?" lamha asked with a sharp look.

"I will do anything to make up for all my mistakes" Nickholas said.

"What can you do to remove my pain and trauma from the vile slander you have committed?" ask Lamha.

"I don't know, but whatever your request is, as long as you can remove the pain and forgive me, I will" Nickholas said earnestly.

"Right now I don't want anything, except one thing" Lamha said.

"What?" ask Nickholas.

"Deliver Novi!"
