At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 64 (First Hugs )

Rendi who already knows about all the crimes of Daddy Indra feels sorry for Zahira, and Rendi can already guess if Daddy Indra's arrival to the house of the Airlangga family to match Zahira with Rendi.

"Zahira, did Daddy Indra come here to match us?" ask Rendi.

"Yes Mas, but Zahira was sure that Mas Rendi would not be able to accept this matchmaking."

"Why are you talking like that?" ask Rendi.

"Because Zahira is self-conscious about the flaws that Zahira has, no man will want to marry a disabled Zahira."

"Everyone has flaws and advantages, and behind your shortcomings, many advantages that you have," said Rendi with a smile.

"Zahira had absolutely no advantage, and only a foolish man would marry Zahira."

"Then I will be a foolish man, because I will marry you," said Rendi, and Zahira rounded her eyes to hear Rendi's words.

"Don't joke Mas, there's no way a man as perfect as Mas Rendi intends to marry a disabled woman like me."

"I'm not kidding, maybe at this time I can't love you, because in my heart there are still other women, but are you willing to help me forget the woman I love?"

"Why would Mas Reni want to forget that woman?"

"Because that woman I could never have. Right now she's happy with her husband, and I don't want to be a Pebinor."

"But Zahira wasn't sure that he could help Mas Rendi, because Mas Rendi would never be in love with Zahira."

"We'll never know if we don't try" Rendi said.

Zahira seemed pensive, because she wanted to get out of her suffering, and maybe if she married Rendi, Zahira could get out of Daddy Indra's house.

"Why did Mas Rendi not choose Aira?" asked Zahira who was astonished, even though Aira had a normal physique, and Aira was much prettier than her, because Aira was diligent in doing the treatment.

"I don't need a woman who is just beautiful in her face, but I need a woman who is also beautiful in her heart, and that's all I find in you" replied Rendi.

Zahira just kept quiet, because she really felt unworthy to be with Rendi, because there would be many people who scoffed at her.

"Have it, you don't need much thought, if you can't decide everything now, you can think about it first, which is important now that we have to pretend in front of Om Indra, so that he doesn't scold you" said Rendi by pushing Zahira's wheelchair.

Zahira felt touched because Rendi had already treated her very well, and Rendi understood her very well.

Rendi and Zahira, approaching Grandma Puspa and Daddy Indra who were chatting.

"Nek, Om Indra, Rendi had intended to marry Zahira," said Rendi, so suddenly Daddy Indra rounded his eyes because he did not believe the words of Rendi.

"I'm not dreaming, right?" ask Daddy Indra with sparkling eyes.

"Actually Rendi was already in love with Zahira at first sight, and Rendi wanted to make Zahira as the wife and Mother of the Rendi Children."

Daddy Indra is so happy because his dream to master the Airlangga family property will be realized.

Finally my dream all this time will soon be realized as well, it turns out this disabled child brings good luck to me, said Daddy Indra in his heart, then hugged Zahira's body so happy.

Zahira was surprised, because it was the first hug that Daddy Indra had made to him since he was born into this World, let alone to hug him, even seeing the face of Zahira Daddy Indra never wanted to.

So this is what a father's hug feels like? inner Zahira with teary eyes.

"It's up to you Ren, Om will always support your decision." Maybe it is better that way, if Zahira did the installation of prosthetic legs before marrying Rendi, I will not be ashamed to admit her as my Daughter, continued Daddy Indra in his heart.

Grandma Puspa felt doubt if Rendi really wanted to marry Zahira, until finally Grandma Puspa tried to test Rendi.

"Ren, don't you want to take Zahira overseas? how about you marry Zahira religiously first so that there will be no slander if you both have become muhrim, and later after the new operation you have a wedding in the State and also hold a reception."

Without thinking long, Rendi immediately agreed to Granny Puspa's proposal.

"A good capsule is also Nek, then Rendi will soon marry Zahira religiously first," said Rendi, and Grandma Puspa was surprised because it turns out that Rendi is really serious about marrying Zahira.

Prang

So surprised to hear the news of Rendi and Zahira's marriage, Aira who heard it until she was unconscious had nudged the urn that was beside her.

"No, no way, you're kidding me. Ren, you can't marry a disabled woman like Zahira, right?" aira.

"Never insult my future wife, you should know Aira, if Zahira is better than you."

"You will definitely regret that you would prefer Zahira over me."

Daddy Indra, who was afraid that Aira would divulge her crimes in front of Rendi and Granny Puspa, immediately snapped at Aira.

"Shut your mouth Aira, don't let Daddy's patience run out. Now you come with Daddy home, too" said Daddy Indra by pulling Aira's hand.

"No Dad, Aira does not want to go home, Aira does not want Rendi to marry Zahira. If Aira could not marry Rendi, Zahira also could not marry Rendi," cried Aira, and Daddy Indra was already annoyed to hear the words of Aira that had become more and more so, and Daddy Indra would love to slap Aira, if only there were no Granny Puspa and Rendi.

"Mbak Puspa, Rendi, apologize for Aira's bad attitude. Then Om will take Aira home first. Om tipped Zahira here, because Om was afraid Aira would hurt him," said Daddy Indra by continuing to smother Aira's mouth, then out of the Airlangga residence.

Everyone took a deep breath looking at Aira's behavior, after Daddy Indra and Aira left, Grandma Puspa invited Zahira and Rendi to chat.

"Zahira, has Indra been rude to you and Risa all this time?" ask Grandma Puspa.

"Yes Aunty, but Daddy is still Zahira's father, hopefully one day Daddy's eyes can be open, and Daddy can sincerely love Zahira," said Zahira who was in Amini by Rendi and Grandma Puspa.

......................

At this time the condition of Nabila is very alarming, because Nabila has often fainted, even after eating Nabila immediately vomit his food, but Ken remained faithful to accompany Nabila.

Nabila's body is getting thinner and thinner, even his head now does not have a single hair.

"Honey, Mommy should be admitted to the Hospital only so that Mother is infused to get additional food," said Ken by continuing to hug the body of Nabila who is currently lying weakly beside him.

"Not Well, Mommy wants to always be next to Dad. If we are in the Hospital, the Doctor will often check the condition of Mother," said Nabila by turning his body to face Ken.

"Did Dad cry?" ask Nabila by wiping the tears on Ken's cheek.

"Dad was just a flick," Ken said, trying to smile.

"Well, if one day Mommy leaves, Mommy tipped Granny and Rendra yes, I have to promise that Dad will always be happy even though Mommy is no longer beside you."

"No dear, Mother must be strong, because Father will not be able to live without Mother," said Ken by tightening his arms, then shed his tears in the arms of Nabila.
