At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 63 (Great Secret )

Rendi, who had exchanged phone numbers with Zahira, tried to send a message to Zahira, but Zahira did not reply to a message from Rendi.

"Why didn't Zahira return a message from me huh? though I sincerely want to be friends with him," muttered Rendi.

Rendi decides to call Zahira, but Zahira does not pick him up.

"Why didn't Zahira pick up my phone too? Hopefully nothing bad happens to him" muttered Rendi.

Moments later, Grandma Puspa knocked on Rendi's room door because she wanted to ask Nabila and Ken.

"Ren, how are Nabila and Ken? why don't they ever pick up a video call from Grandma? even on the phone they didn't pick it up, but Grandma missed them once."

"Maybe they're busy right now, Grandma, Rendi will try to call them." Sorry Rendi Nek, Rendi can not tell the truth, because at this time Nabila's condition is not good, so Ken covers everything from us so that Grandma does not feel anxious, continued Rendi in his heart.

Rendi tries to find out information about Zahira from Granny Puspa, because Rendi wants to know more about Zahira.

"Miss, is Grandma close to Zahira's twin Aira?" ask Rendi.

"Why indeed? do you like Zahira?" Grandma Puspa asked back.

"Rendi was just sorry for her poor fate, but Zahira was a good girl."

"Yes Ren, Grandma also has pity on Zahira, but Grandma can't help anything, because Indra always keeps her locked up, not even allowing Zahira to meet anyone, including Grandma."

"Actually Zahira has long worked in the organization of life encouragement as a resource person, and Rendi was very impressed with his passion and persistence in encouraging the lives of others."

"Alhamdulillah then, maybe Risa deliberately put Zahira into the organization so that Zahira has confidence and is grateful for his shortcomings."

"Yes Nek, but Zahira and Mama covered everything from Om Indra, and they went out secretly."

"If Indra knew, he would be very angry. From the time Zahira and Aira were small, they both had different characters, especially Indra always pampered Aira, while Zahira never got the affection of her own biological father, even Indra always felt embarrassed when there were people who knew if Zahira was his daughter. Indra always celebrated Aira's birthday lavishly, but Zahira was not allowed to go outside from inside her room during the birthday party."

"Good pity Zahira's fate" said Rendi.

"When Grandma was able to walk, Grandma and Ken secretly gave Zahira birthday cakes and gifts, but when Grandma wanted to adopt Zahira, Indra strictly forbids because she is ashamed if anyone finds out that she has a disabled child."

"Don't Om Indra ever offer Aira to be adopted by Grandma?"

"Yes Ren, but Grandma does not like the personality of Aira who has a proud and arrogant character from childhood, so Grandma prefers Zahira, and so she is very happy, but Indra gives the condition if Ken must marry her if Grandma wants to adopt Zahira and keep the identity of Zahira as her daughter, Indra also continues to give a proposal to match Aira, who is not a woman, but Ken doesn't like Aira nor Zahira, even though Ken has pity on Zahira and wants to free her from the Hell her own father created."

Rendi seems to think, if Rendi marries Zahira, maybe she can help release Zahira from her suffering during this time.

"Sir, did Rendi marry Zahira?"

"Ren, marriage is not a game, Grandma knows that you only feel sorry for Zahira, but Grandma doesn't want you to feel forced, because Grandma knows very well if you still love Nabila."

"Nabila is now happy with Ken, so Rendi must try to move on, who knows by marrying Zahira, Rendi can free Zahira from the suffering she is experiencing at this time, he said, and Rendi could forget Nabila too."

"While it's like that, you have to think about it, Zahira does have a good heart but she has flaws."

"Everyone has the advantages and disadvantages of Nek, after we get married, Rendi will take Zahira abroad to perform prosthetic foot surgery."

"If it's your decision, Grandma will support it."

Rendi and Grandma Puspa had thought that Daddy Indra brought Aira to be betrothed, but it turned out that Daddy Indra brought Zahira, making Granny Puspa and Rendi feel surprised.

Zahira looks gloomy when Rendi and Grandma Puspa approach him, and Daddy Indra has threatened Zahira to get Rendi.

"Dear Zahira, how are you, son?" asked Grandma Puspa by hugging Zahira's body.

"Alhamdulillah, good news of Aunt Zahira, how is Auntie?"

"Alhamdulillah, Aunt is also good. It's been a while since we met, now Zahira is getting pretty," said Grandma Puspa, and Zahira just smiled at Grandma Puspa's words.

"Zahira, did I send you a message why it wasn't answered? I didn't pick up the phone either?" ask Rendi, and Daddy Indra just answered Rendi's question.

"So Zahira forgot to put the phone, didn't she, baby?" ask Daddy Indra with a sharp look at Zahira so that Zahira agrees with his father's words.

"I_iya Mas, Zahira forgot her phone nyimpen," said Zahira who looked frightened.

Rendi finds out that there is something that Zahira is hiding, and Rendi decides to invite Zahira to chat alone.

"Om, can Rendi invite Zahira to chat in the park? there's something Rendi wants to show Zahira."

"Of course you can," said Daddy Indra who was happy if his plan to bring Zahira and Rendi closer had succeeded, even Rendi himself who took the initiative to invite Zahira to chat.

Rendi pushes Zahira's wheelchair towards the park, then Rendi invites Zahira to speak.

"Zahira, I know if there's something you're hiding, I hope you'll share it with me" Rendi said.

"Stay away from me Mas, I don't want it until Daddy makes use of our closeness. I don't want Daddy to hurt Mas Rendi, it's enough Daddy to commit a crime to harm both of Mas Rendi's parents" Zahira said in tears.

Deg

Rendi was so surprised because it turned out that the cause of Nabila's parents' death was Daddy Indra.

"A_what do you mean Zahira? so the cause of my parents' car accident was your Daddy?" ask Rendi who just learned a big secret that has been covered by Daddy Indra.

"So Mas Rendi didn't know all the truth?"

"I just found out now? and I didn't think that Om Indra would be that nice."

"When Mama Risa said if Mas Rendi approached Zahira just because he wanted to avenge the death of both parents Mas Rendi, so Zahira thought Mas Rendi already knew everything."

"For God's sake I just found out everything now, and I never thought that the mastermind behind everything was Om Indra."

"How is this Mas? Daddy would be furious if he found out that Zahira had leaked the crime he had been covering up."

"You take it easy, I'll keep it a secret if you tell me this information. You want to help me find evidence of all the crimes Om Indra has committed?"

"God willing Zahira will help Mas Rendi, because Daddy must get the punishment that is worth all his crimes. Does Mas Rendi hate Zahira because he already knows that Zahira is the son of Mas Rendi's parents' second killer?"

"You're innocent in this matter Zahira, so there's no reason for me to hate you," moreover I'm not Mr. Airlangga's son, sorry if I've lied to you Zahira, because I have not been able to tell all the truth, continued Rendi in his heart.
