After 10 Years of Marriage
Chapter 47
“Mas,” call Yana slowly.
Yana was about to get out of her seat, but unexpectedly her hand was held by her father-in-law.
Yana looked at her father-in-law, the old man shook his head slowly so that Yana would not have to be afraid of her husband and remained silent in his place.
“What did you say? You can't interfere?! Of course I interfered, is that how you treat your wife?!” sentak.
Even Alex and Damar are surprised to see his father who turns out to defend Yana.
Damar did not stay silent, he continued the drama.
“Dad, this is my household! Father not entitled ...”
Plaque!
A pretty hard slap landed right on Alex's left cheek.
Yana covered her mouth with her hands, because in front of her own eyes her father-in-law slapped her husband.
“You have really changed Damar! You should be thanking your wife, but why are you scolding her without first hearing her explanation!” looking at the son.
“Dad ...”
His father-in-law seemed to throw his face in the other direction, because he could not understand Damar's attitude.
“Mas, I'm sorry, Mas. I was wrong, because without telling you I came here. Don't blame Daddy!” yana's voice began to tremble withstanding the cries.
Afraid to see her father-in-law's anger toward her husband, it all started with her stubborn self never hearing his words this morning.
Yana hugged her husband tightly, with a sobbing cry. Tears were so swift that they soaked her husband's white shirt.
Damar was silent, wanting to make a show to prank his wife, but instead felt guilty after seeing his sobbing wife crying in his arms.
Damar returned the embrace of his wife, then repeatedly kissed the head of his wife.
“Darling, I'm sorry. I was just kidding earlier,” whispered Damar in his wife's ear.
At once the cry of Yana immediately stopped, releasing her husband's embrace and then looked at the husband's face with nanar.
“Mas, you ...”
Damar nodded while smiling at his wife.
Out of annoyance, Yana immediately pinched her husband's stomach until he complained of pain.
While the father stared at the two as he hugged warmly, he recalled his long-gone wife leaving him for good.
Damar let go of his wife's hand, then stepped closer to his father.
“Dad, forgive me. Father, punish me for being a useless child to you! Dad, I ...”
Damar lowered his head in front of his father, not daring to look at the old man.
Father's silent.
His father's eyes seemed to be reddened, holding back tears, so without hesitation he pulled his son into his arms.
For years they never hugged each other, because their egos were too high to say they missed each other due to past mistakes that only misunderstood.
They pressed their arms together, Damar sobbed in his father's arms.
“I'm sorry, Damar's Dad. Forgive Dad,” he said in a sad voice.
Damar shook his head in his father's arms.
“I'm the one who should be apologizing,” said Damar lirih.
As if they could no longer express words, to let go of their longing further tightened their embrace.
Yana looked at the father and son, she did not expect it would happen so soon.
Likewise with Alex, he wiped the tears that almost fell.
He witnessed for himself the beginning of the dispute between the father and the child, thanks to which the son and the father were able to hug each other.
“What Mr. Damar said last night is true, if Mrs Yana has a big influence on her life. Just this time I was happy to see them able to hug each other again,” Alex said in his heart.
Slowly Alex stepped out of the house, not wanting to interrupt their happy moment.
“Master, you are very lucky to have a Wife like Lady Yana. God, leave one for me a woman like Yana,” muttered in my heart after leaving the house, repeatedly Alex heaved a sigh of relief then got into his car and started leaving the mansion.
Inside the house, they let go of each other.
While his father kissed his son's cheeks, the same as he did when Damar was a child.
“I'm sorry Dad, Son. Because of Father's selfishness ...”
“Sstt .. don't apologize, Dad. Now we start all over again,”.
Damar repeatedly kissed his father's wrinkled hands, and Damar hugged his father again.
“I miss Dad so much,” he said again.
The words of Damar who was always waiting for his father from a long time ago, made the man's face look happy.
“Dad missed you so much too,” back patted his son softly on the back.
His net was fixed on Yana who was still standing staring at them, even Yana's eyes seemed to look swollen from crying earlier.
Plaque!
He thought it was just a dream to hug his father, because without cause his father hit him hard enough.
“It's so rude of you to make my daughter-in-law cry!” he pushed slowly on Damar's shoulder, then stepped closer to Yana.
“My daughter, did that man hurt you earlier? Tell Dad to teach him a lesson!” he said to Yana.
Yana smiled without hesitation hugging her father-in-law.
Likewise with Damar who breathed a sigh of relief, because what he felt today was not a dream.
Satisfied to let go of longing with his son, now they chat in the living room.
Damar seemed reluctant to release his wife's hand from his grasp, occasionally tucking the back of his wife's hand.
“Ekhem ..” deham his father.
“How long have you guys been married?” ask father.
“Newly a few months ago,” said Damar looking at his father who looked nodding.
“Yana, can I borrow your Husband for a moment?” ask his father-in-law.
Yana smiled.
“Of course, Dad. Why ask for permission?”
“Alright, Damar come to Dad's office for a moment. Yana, I'd love to eat your cooking, can you make it for Dad?” queried.
Because before, he had seen Damar immortalize his wife's cooking on his social media page.
“Of course, Father.” Yana seemed pleased with her father-in-law's request, because Yana was also the first to cook food for her father.
After saying that, Damar and his father moved from his seat to the workroom.
“What's up, Dad? Looks like this is very serious,” guess Damar.
Damar was afraid that the change in his father's current attitude was just a charade.
His father sat in his great chair, and took a file.
“Damar, earlier Dad apologized to you. Actually ...” his father seemed to give a pause for him to restart his words, even sighing first.
Damar seemed patiently waiting for his father to continue his talk again.
“Actually ... Daddy's business is fine, Dad deliberately spread the word if Dad's business is in bankruptcy. Because there are enemies who want to cheat, and the age of Dad also can no longer take care of the company. In addition, Father also deliberately, so that you can come to see Father, because that way also Father can meet you.” His face seemed sad to say that, looks a look of a face that is so guilty on his son.
“And about wanting to match you with Dad's best friend's son, that's a lie too. I just want to be able to get together with you, want to see you longer in the office even though only through the office cctv. Forgive Dad, Nak.”
Damar rounded his eyes to hear his father's statement, Damar again felt a deep sense of guilt. So ungodly he made the father miss him, but he was insensitive to it and always thought that his father did not miss him.
“Dad, why didn't Dad say it straight away? Dad, I feel so guilty about Dad.”
“Nak, at that time my father's ego was too high. Dad should thank Yana a lot, thanks to him Dad can lower Egi Father himself.”
“I was curious, what did Yana My wife say that Dad has been praising her since?” ask Damar curiously.
He already knows the true nature of his wife, it is not in doubt if the wife is very good at taking his father's heart.
Not only that, even many important colleagues who want to work with companies in the country thanks to the cleverness of his wife in speaking.
“This is the secret of Father-in-law and son-in-law. So, you don't need to know!”
Makes Damar chuckle.
“This is the business I gave you and half of it belongs to your son Kevin. Dad can no longer take care of it, Dad is tired.”
“Dad, Damar wants Dad to come with us to live in the country. Damar is very sure, Dad will never be lonely, every day Dad will definitely hear stories from the grandkids of Dad.”
Dad looked confused, because Damar only had one child.
Damar perfectly understood what was on his father's mind at this moment.
“I married a widow with two children, Father. I don't need to worry, Yana comes from a good family. It's just, Yana was not lucky with her first marriage made her have to divorce her first husband.”
His father seemed to understand.
“Seeing from the way she talks, Yana is indeed a good woman. I hope you can be fair with them, her son Yana is your responsibility now,”.
His father's words just made him full, his father had not said softly to him for a long time.
Damar nodded.
“I've become a poor man, Dad. I only work for my wife and children. All my business I give in the name of my wife, all that I do because of so much love and dear to my wife.”
“Daddy is proud of you, son. Again forgive Dad, son.”
“How? Are you willing to come with us?” ask Damar again.
“For that I will think of later tonight, it is difficult to leave a house full of memories with your mother.”
“Dad, Mom will always be in your heart, wherever you go and stay. I also want to spend time with my father, son and wife. I can't choose between Dad and my little family.”
Father nodded.
“Dad smelled the fragrance of your wife's cooking, Dad got hungry. We continue later, now we fill the stomach first,” take him.
Damar chuckled, because when he was seriously talking his father instead invited him to eat.
