Aini's Heart Journey

Interrogation Part 2

"What's up, Mr Adit? You must have recognized the voice of the little boy earlier, right?" Trifling Ardi.

"Summer!" Adit muttered softly, with tears slowly dripping down.

Ardi grinned satisfied to see Adit's reaction. The call from Umar was not in his plan. But, it really completes his plan to make Adit regret every action he used to do.

"Yes. It was the voice of your first son, with my son. Umar and Kenzo." Replied Ardi proudly.

Adit's heart was so sad to hear what he had heard. Umar so lightly called Ardi papa, and in fact, he sounded so spoiled to Ardi.

Adit recalled, before Umar was brought by Aini's lawyer that day, Umar had not been so spoiled for a long time. Umar looked even more like a child who was terrified of his father. The boy rarely even greeted or chatted with his father when he was home. Umar spent more time with his grandfather.

"Why, Mr Adit? Don't you think Kenzo is my son? Or, you might, miss your first son that?"

Adit then remembered something. How he forbade Umar to associate with Kenzo, because of Kenzo's unclear background, and even, he was a little sickly.

"That kid, Mr Ardi's son?" Inner Ardi did not believe.

"Thank you, Mr. Adit. For giving a son as good as Umar to me. I didn't even think, in just a matter of days, he asked my permission, so he could call me papa, like my son Kenzo."

"Summer!" Mumbled Adit again.

"I obviously asked him why he wanted to call me that. And you know, how's the answer?"

Ardi paused his sentence, while recalling the events some time ago.

"Umar said he missed his old father. Who always pamper and care for him. Not his present father, who often scolded him for trivial and even, often vilifying his mother before him. That's what Umar said."

"What?" Lirih Adit can't believe it.

"Umar is still a child who misses the integrity of his family, Mr. Adit. He said, that you spend more time with your second son, after you bring him to Surabaya. Is that really your goal? Making Umar as an outlet of your hatred for Aini. You're cruel, Mr. Adit." The end of Ardi was upset.

Adit can't answer anything. His heart was too sore, remembering what he had done indirectly to Umar first. Which turned out, made Umar slowly move away from him.

Initially, Adit did want to keep Umar away from Aini, so that he did not follow in the footsteps of Aini who was spied by Adit, so bad attitude. But slowly, his hatred for Aini, was revealed to Umar who did not know anything. Eventually, Umar moved away from Adit and was close to his grandfather.

"Actually, I want to put an end to all of this. But unfortunately, my two sons are waiting for me right now. They miss their beloved mother and want to see her soon. And I'm sure, Aini must have missed all three of us too." Imbuh Ardi standing up.

"Just calm! Tomorrow, I'll get on with it. I also feel sorry for the police, who are looking for your whereabouts right now. So, I have to get my business done with you guys, before you enjoy the cold of the prison room." The end of Ardi was triumphant.

Ardi then turned around and immediately left the room without saying anything more. He set foot for sure to go home to the two boys waiting for him.

If anyone asks, how does Ardi know so much about Aini's painful past? The answer is because of Imron and Ratna. They had told a little story of Aini's past to Ardi yesterday.

Until Ardi immediately asked his men to collect information related to it as soon as possible. And for this, Ardi did just that. For the sake of clearing Aini's name in the eyes of some people.

Adit was really devastated to hear everything Ardi said just now. From the fact that Aini was not having an affair, his mother and wife stabbed him indirectly, to Umar who could effectively call Ardi papa.

"Why have I been blind all this time?" Guman Adit pilu's.

Adit just cried, for the sake of vaporizing all the feelings in his heart. Be ill. Grievous. Piteously. Everything feels so devastating. Blaming is useless, because everything has happened. So, he could only regret and continue to regret what he had done.

"I'm sorry, Ni! Sorry!" Adit muttered in between his cries.

"Basic! Women don't know themselves!" Umbat Reni, while looking down at Ratri who was crying.

Yep. Ratri also deeply regretted everything he did to Aini first. It is like a bean that forgets its skin. So that easily, hurt people who have been very good and contributed greatly to him first.

Regret is always present after everything has happened. Until sometimes, the word sorry alone will not be able to replace everything that so hurt others.

In the hospital.

Aini was chatting casually with Imron and Ratna while enjoying the afternoon. As before, they tell each other a lot of things to let go of longing, even though it has been since yesterday they met.

"Don!" Call Ratna in doubt.

"Yes, Mommy." Answer Aini friendly.

Aini could see clearly, the look on Ratna's face that turned a little serious at this moment. Suddenly, a feeling of unease came to Aini's heart.

"Tell me, Mom'! Aini's condition has improved, right." Sela Imron suddenly.

Aini and Ratna immediately turned to Imron, who was sleeping on another bed in the room.

"What's up, Ma'am?" Ask Aini curiously.

Ratna sighed while bowing. Convincing his heart to say what had stuck in his heart since yesterday. He then raised his face and looked at Aini doubtfully.

"What is your relationship with Mr. Ardi? Do you have a special relationship with him?" Ask Ratna immediately.

"That's,,"

Aini has trouble answering her only question. He who was just looking at his brother's face relaxed, suddenly became nervous immeasurably.

"Jawab Ma'am, Ni!" Pinta Ratna was a little strict.

"Me, I don't have a special relationship with Mas Ardi, Ma'am." Answer Aini confused.

"Then, why did Mr. Ardi call you with a call dear?"

Aini swallowed her saliva nervously. Cold sweat began to wet some parts of his body. The cold weather was increasingly greeting his skin. He was like a suspect being interrogated by such a disciplined investigator.

Aini looked at Imron. A sister-in-law who had loved him so much since they met. So attentive and understanding it very gently.

"I have no special relationship with Mas Ardi, Mas, Ma'am. Indeed, Ardi once told me that he fell in love with me. But, I haven't given you any answers." Honest Aini.

"When did he say it?" Ratna asked curiously.

"When we went to Madura yesterday."

"Have you ever been on vacation? Both?" Ratna's question didn't take it.

"No, Ma'am. We went on vacation with a lot of people. Mas Ardi invited mbok Sri and Pak Prapto, as well as the family of Mr. Joko. In fact, the family of Mr. Dika and and doctor Gilang also participated at that time."

"Then, how do you feel about her? You like it too, right?"

"That's you,,"

"Not Ma'am willing to forbid you from falling in love or liking someone, Ni. It's just, Ma'am does not want, you will be disappointed and feel what you went through first in your previous marriage." Said Ratna of attention.

"It doesn't want you either, if it's." Tweet Aini.

"Pak Ardi is even richer than Adit. You're afraid, your past is repeating itself, Ni."

Aini speechless.

"It's not bad to think with the family of Mr. Ardi, it's just, Ma'am really can't see you like it just yet, Ni."

Aini nodded in understanding.

"You, since when do you live in Mr. Ardi's house? You moved to work, why don't you tell me Mommy?"

"I, not Ma'am's work, at Ardi's house." Honest Aini.

"Then? You guys,,,"

"Don't think about it, Ma'am!"

"Continue?"

"I met Ardi at Umar's school. And incidentally, Kenzo was a close friend of Umar. He also always went with Umar, if Umar found me in school."

"At first, I didn't know that Kenzo was the son of the foundation owner who oversaw Umar's school. Until that day, mas Ardi came to the house of Dewi ma'am, giving me an offer."

"Offer?"

"Mas Ardi nawarin I'm custody of Umar, in return, I should be able to be a donor to Kenzo."

"Donor?"

"Yes. Kenzo had leukemia as a child. His mother went to pursue a career, and did not even want to be a donor to Kenzo. So, Ardi's trying to find a suitable donor for Kenzo, as his condition worsens."

"Then? You, fit?"

"After undergoing the test, it turned out that the results matched. So, mas Ardi fulfilled his words to take Umar from the Adit mas, in order to return to me."

"Have you donated it?"

"It has. A few days before,,"

"It should have been as bad as you were yesterday. You just had surgery."

Aini smiled a little.

"So Ni, how do you feel about Mr Ardi?" Ask Imron again.

"Emm, I don't know, Mom. All I know is that I feel comfortable around him. I am happy to meet him too. Even yesterday, I had a dream about him, before Ardi finally found me somewhere." Honest Aini.

"Stupid! You're almost thirty years old, Ni. Cook that you don't understand?" Cibir Ratna's.

"It's the second pubescent, ma'am'." Imron Timpal.

"Mas Imron the same brother Ratna said what the hell?" Aini is ashamed.

"That look! Her cheeks are red, aren't they, Mom'?" Imron Temptation.

Aini also reflexively held both cheeks. "Where is it, Mas?"

Ratna smiled slightly at Aini's behavior. In his little heart, he was relieved. Because Aini was slowly finding her happiness again. Being with someone who is possible, can really accept and make her happy.

"Mbak does not forbid you to establish a relationship with anyone, including Mr. Ardi. It's just, Ma'am does not want, if you later until you feel what you feel first, Ni."

"We are now just two. Ma'am does not want, father same mother until sad and turn on Ma'am in a dream, because it can not take care of you properly, if until your past repeats itself." Said Ratna.

"It's Mbak's understanding, I mean Mrs Ratna. Aini also does not want Mbak, which is like it repeated again." Answer Aini sadly.

"So you want to continue your relationship with Mr Ardi?" Ratna asked doubtfully.

"Do you approve of it, if I continue?" Ask Aino worriedly.
