After Parting Five Years

Nothing is Free In This World

Alin and Naufal are at the side of Santi's tomb. The two visited the tomb after returning from the hospital.

"Mother, forgive Alin who has not been able to make Mom happy. It often makes you tired," said Alin slowly.

The woman felt very sorry because during her life had not had time to make Santi proud of her.

To be honest, if time could be turned back, Alin would choose to live alone with Santi, and not accept a proposal from Kenzi.

But at that moment, love blinded his eyes. Alin's love for Kenzi used to beat logic. In fact, Santi had warned not to get in touch with Kenzi because Kenzi was the son of a rich man while he was only the son of a widow.

At that time Alin was lulled by the promises of Kenzi who would take care of him. Makes the happiest woman. In fact, their marriage was not more than six months long.

Flashbacks

Alin ran through the people who swarmed the accident site. The twenty-two-year-old girl got word that her best friend had an accident while delivering orders.

At that time Alin was working part-time as a pizza deliveryman.

"please move! My friend, my friend got hit. Please move!"

Alin felt angry because of the attitude of people who were busy filming the incident, instead of helping the victim first.

Those people got out of the way and left the place. There were no casualties, only injuries, one of them said.

Alin screamed hysterically when he saw Dinda sitting on the ground with orders strewn about. By his side, a handsome young man looked even more miserable. His hands and feet were injured, even his forehead was bleeding.

Alin immediately approached Dinda and hugged the girl.

"Oh my goodness, Din. Who hit you? Anyway he has to take responsibility! Geez, the pizza's all ruined!" shout Alin.

Dinda grimaced at Alin's voice.

"Lin, you calm down. I'm gapapa. But the man I hit got hit by injuries. The motor was also badly damaged" Dinda whispered to Alin. Alin stared while covering his mouth with both hands.

"Wow, continues? Who hit you? You weren't the one who got hit?" ask Alin.

Dinda nodded lethargicly. "No, the guy I hit," said Dinda, pointing at the handsome young man who was none other than Kenzi.

Alin's eyes glared at Kenzi. He knew this man, this man was a popular student at his college.

"That's .. that's it," said Alin stuttering. He approached Kenzi and apologized to the young man for representing Dinda. Kenzi was not interested in Alin. He didn't press Alin, nor did he ask for any compensation because he was a rich kid.

But after that incident. They often meet on campus. Often accidentally passed in the canteen. Even Kenzi accidentally ordered a pizza that was delivered by Alin.

Kenzi who was feeling the loss of Hania felt a little amazed at the simple and sweet figure of Alin. Until finally, in the following months Kenzi felt an excessive interest in the girl.

According to him, Alin is a simple figure who might be able to love himself sincerely. Not because of popularity and not because of wealth.

They dated not so long because Kenzi didn't want to ruin a girl like Alin. He immediately applied for Alin when they had just graduated from college.

Alin and Kenzi are married. Both of them lived a quiet and happy life until finally the figure of Rendy who messed up.

Flashback off

"Mommy, there's Dad" Naufal said as he watched Kenzi walk towards them.

Kenzi was told by the hospital that Alin had gone home. He went to Alin's house, but the woman wasn't there. And sure enough, Alin went to the tomb.

To be honest, Alin was eager to reject the man's invitation. However, Naufal looked extremely exhausted. He was already asleep in Kenzi's arms at this moment.

"You sit in the back" said Kenzi. He held Naufal in the back, while in front of Alex was driving.

Alin felt bad sitting next to Kenzi.

"I'm just up ahead" said Alin, opening the front door.

"If you sit in front, I'll take this kid back to my apartment" Kenzi said.

Alin glared and clucked. "Basic of mengan ngancam!" yells. However, he ended up sitting in the backseat with Kenzi and his son.

The car also split the road.

"Alin, Naufal's weekend will be operative. Please take care of his health, so that the operation goes well" Kenzi said breaking the silence in the car.

Alin nodded. "Thank you" said Alin.

"Alin, nothing is free in this world." Kenzi began to express his wishes.

"What-you mean?" ask Alin not to think.

However, Kenzi was silent and did not want to answer, until finally the car stopped in front of his house. He carried Naufal into Alin's house and laid the child's body on the bed.

"Say what you mean?" ask Alin who is impatient. Now, the two spoke in front of Alin's house.

"Alin, you're unconscious? Now your mother is dead. So no one can look after Nau. You're busy working. So, I want to donate this spinal cord as long as .. As long as Naufal lives with me."

Plaque!

Alin immediately slapped Kenzi's cheek tightly. His chest rose and fell with emotion, his eyes reddened then shortly afterwards cried loudly.

Kenzi's face now looked very angry. He stroked her hot cheek from receiving Alin's slap.

"Based on a fucking woman!" kenzi Ogat.

"You're a jerk, Kenzi! Nau my son, don't expect you to be able to separate me from him!" shout Alin.

Kenzi drew closer to the woman, his right hand holding Alin's chin and pinching him hard.

"You think you can bring happiness to Naufal? You're not worthy!"

Kenzi's words deeply pierced Alin's feelings.

"Kenzi, you bastard! I hate you, I hate you!" Alin yelled increasingly hysterically, but Kenzi did not care. He left the house without looking back.

He walked towards the car. While Alex who had heard the chatter of his boss could only shake his head.

"Where else are we going, boss?" ask Alex.

"To my parents' second home" Kenzi said. He had decided to tell his father and mother about Naufal.

"Boss, may I give you a little advice?" alex asked doubtfully. Actually he never dared to argue and give advice to Kenzi. However, this time he felt .. Kenzi's decision was very cruel.

"What?" asked Kenzi while frowning.

"On Miss Alin. Boss, he just lost his mother. Does Boss have the heart to separate him from his son too?" ask Alex. The man hoped that he would change his mind.
