Bondage of Love

Sorry, I'm Still Angry at You

It didn't feel like Axel had been in the hospital for three days. His wounds had dried up and today his plan was to go home. While Kyara according to information from mbok Sri decided to stay at her friend's house.

Kamisha tidied up Axel's clothes and all the things he had brought to the hospital.

"Mbok Sri"

"Yes to mbak."

"Please put this bag of clothes in the car."

"Njih mbak." mbok Sri immediately brought two bags with a size not too big to put in the car.

"Mommy."

"Yes dear."

"Did Xander know I was sick?"

"You know, but right now Xander's busy. He's out of town. So I haven't seen you yet."

"Oh, fine." Axel said in a disappointed tone.

"Maybe if you've come home from out of town, it'll definitely see you."

"really?"

"Right, um Xander's a good man." Kamisha rubbed Axel's head gently. "Eat first yuk, after that mommy will take care of his administration and we can go home."

"Yeayy, I can go to school again."

Kamisha immediately fed Axel. His eyes were glazed - the glass saw the look of Axel's happy face. Forgive mommy, Axel. Mommy had to lie to you. Mommy believes that Xander is still angry at Kamisha's inner mommy.

"Mommy crying?"

"No dear, these are happy tears. Because you're healed and you can go home. Mommy doesn't know what to do if something happens to you."

"It's okay mommy, I'm a strong boy. I promise I won't leave mommy."

"Thank you dear." Kamisha hugged her beloved son. "Oya Axel, mommy will take care of his administration, you dare mommy stay alone."

"Don't worry mommy, I'll wait here."

"Smart kid."

Kamisha took his wallet and left Axel alone. He had called mbok Sri to quickly return from putting the bag in the car, so that Axel was not alone for too long.

Turns out the place of payment queued long enough. After completing the administration. Kamisha to the dispensary section to take the medicine. After that he immediately returned to Axel's room. But his steps stopped when he saw a figure standing outside Axel's room.

"Sir Alex."

"Good morning Misha."

"For Alex." answered Misha. "Want to see Axel? why stand outside, let's go inside."

"Sorry Misha, Mr. Xander is inside."

"Oh, then I'll meet him inside."

"Sorry Mbak Misha, can you accompany me here."

"Oh, alright." Kamisha replied with a disappointed look. "I know she definitely won't see me."

"Please forgive Misha, as long as I know her, Mr. Xander is indeed a person who does not like lies."

"I understand, Alex doesn't have to worry about me. I'm guilty of this."

The two of them sat in silence until Xander finally came out.

"Come on Alex."

"Xander wait." said Kamisha.

"It's working hours, please respect me as your boss."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xander." said Kamisha lowered his head. "Can I talk to you for a minute."

"No need, I'm full of you lying."

"I have a reason, please listen to my explanation, just for a moment."

"I'm busy." replied Xander. "Come on Alex."

"Good sir."

"Okay, don't get used to lying to kids."

"I mean father?"

"What do you mean I'm out of town?"

"Sorry, I don't know what to answer when Axel keeps asking you."

"Tell me frankly, I'm sure he'll understand. Or is that your habit? I like to lie."

"I'm sorry." That's the only word that came out of Kamisha's mouth. The words Xander are true. But the rice has become porridge. Xander now considers him a liar. Suppose she refused Kyara to follow her lie.

Xander leaves the pensive Kamisha alone.

"Sir."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I feel sorry for Misha."

"Why?"

"It's not just his fault. I think Kyara should be responsible for this."

"I know Alex, you don't have to teach me."

"So what makes you angry with Misha?"

"Don't know, I'm just still angry with their lies" Xander replied. "Don't ask too many questions, just concentrate on driving."

"Good, sir."

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Kamisha put her car in front of the house. The arrival of Axel was welcomed by Saints and Sukma ma'am. Luckily they were surrounded by loving people.

"Hatur nohun bu Sukma has come to see Axel."

"Punten mbak Misha, I just found out yesterday that Axel was in an accident. I went to Tasikmalaya my parents were sick."

"It's okay ma'am, thank God Axel can survive" said Kamisha. "Let's go inside the ma'am, we'll eat cake together."

They all went into the house. For a while Kamisha told Axel to rest in the room, while the women chatted casually in the living room.

"How the story goes, Axel could have been in an accident."

"I was negligent in looking after Axel ma'am, so time crossed someone grazed him."

"I used to be like that, too, mbak, my number one son ever fell into the gutter when he was two years old. Fortunately, someone knew it could be helped."

"Yes mother Sukma, we as parents are still many shortcomings."

"Mbak Misha does not need to be discouraged, the name of disaster can happen to anyone" said Bu Sukma. "Yes, Kyara is invisible."

"Have moved Sukma's mother."

"Why? are you afraid of the scout."

"No, he said he wanted to find a place closer to the hotel."

"Oh, that's it." said Ms. Sukma. "Yes, I've been relieved to see Axel's condition is fine. Then I'll go home first."

"Thank you for your visit, Mrs Sukma."

Kamisha escorted Sukma out.

"Mbak, why don't you tell me the exact same incident, Ms. Sukma. If it's Kyara who's caused all this."

"I want it to be so mbok, just I remember the words - said the late mother. So that we always keep the good name of the family. Conflicts between families must be resolved within the family itself without others needing to know and interfere."

"Mak Misha is too good, finally can be misunderstood by others."

"Hahahahhh. already mbok. Let others judge us how. Sometimes we do good in the eyes of people is still wrong, especially if we do bad. Don't make people's judgments the standard in our lives" Kamisha said.

"Jih, leres niku (that's what) mbak."

It was just Kamisha and mbok Sri wanted to enter suddenly there was someone coming.

"Misha...!"

"Mak Ayu."

Ma'am Ayu immediately entered and approached Kamisha. Plaak...!!! a pretty loud slap imprinted on Kamisha's cheek.

"What is this mbak?"

"Where is your pride until you can snatch a lover from your own niece."

"Bak go inside first. We finish it inside." said Kamisha trying to calm down.

Ayu's mom wants to go inside. They sit in the living room.

"Mbok Sri put Ayu's mbak bag in Kyara's room and make her warm tea."

"More mbak."

Kamisha took a deep breath - deep.

"Where did you hear the news?"

"What story is he?"

"A few days ago he called me crying. He said Xander broke off with him."

"I don't know if I know anything."

"All because you exposed our family secrets in front of him. And you even went all night with the lover of your own niece."

"Wow... Kyara is very smart to make up stories, schools where she can make scenes as beautiful as this." said Kamisha who had begun to get bored with the attitude of her nephew.

"Don't insult my son. Now because of you he left my life again. You know the reason why I left it to you, so that by your upbringing he could accept me again."

"Bak is too big to pin that hope on me. Why mbak himself as his mother did not try to get closer to him. If I'm the only one trying, I'll make sure it's worth it."

"Misha, please persuade Xander to come back to Kyara."

"I'm sorry, this time I can't. Xander's still mad at me."

"Must be Misha!" yell mbak Ayu. "You're also the cause of the breakdown of their relationship."

"Sir, may I tell you a moment."

"What?"

"Didn't know Axel was in an accident?"

"Accident? where's my grandson now?"

"She's fine now after four days in hospital. That's why I'm exposing who Kyara really is. Axel needs a blood donor and can't tell for sure my blood won't match him. I begged Kyara to give her blood. And Xander was there. I did it for Axel."

"You should be able to speak quietly."

"Yes, I said that to me. I wish I had been in my position at the time. How panicked I was to see a child I loved so much in such a critical condition."

"Sorry, Sha."

"Kyara told mbak, if the one who donated blood to Axel was his biological father."

"His biological father? no__"

"I already knew Axel's real father a month ago. And I'm sure Kyara didn't tell her about it."

"No, he never told me."

"It turns out there's a lot he's hiding from mbak. Axel's real father was Harvey and he was Xander's cousin's brother."

"Oh my god, why is it a coincidence like this?"

"So try to think how Xander doesn't know everything. And now he thinks I conspired to lie to him. I resigned if he would fire me." Kamisha took a breath and then continued her story again. "And due to Kyara's negligence, Axel could have an accident. Doesn't she feel responsible as a mother."

"Now where is Kyara?"

"Stay at her friend's house." answered Kamisha. "Sir, I never thought of taking Kyara to a psychiatrist."

"You think my son is crazy?"

"No, not like that. I mean when Kyara was pregnant she was very young so psychically and mentally she had to be consulted by an expert. And also we do not know his life when he left home first like what? he hangs out with anybody? where does he get his money for his daily needs? he didn't tell us at all. Instead now even often lie, cover up one lie with another lie."

"No...! Sha. My son is not crazy! Descendant family dewe ora ono sing crazy (Our family descendants are not crazy)."

"I'm not accusing him of being crazy. It's just possible that he might need a psychiatrist to help him solve the problem he's in."

"Moh, I'm ora gelem! Nek your crew koyok ngono luwih neat I'm behind ning Jogja saiki." (No, I don't want. If you're like that, I'd better go back to Jogja now).

"If you want to go home, I'll take you to the terminal tomorrow. Better get some rest in the room."

Kamisha went into the room. Ayu and Kyara are basically the same - just as stubborn. If they have not been stumbling with the stubbornness of the problem they will not realize that they are wrong.

🍁🍁🍁🍁

After taking Ayu to the terminal. Kamisha immediately went to work. For three days he applied for leave. Axel still hasn't entered school because his sewing wounds haven't dried up completely. Kamisha feared that too much of her sewing wound activity could open up.

Today he plans to face Xander no matter what happens and last night he has prepared mentally if Xander will fire him.

After parking his car Kamisha immediately entered the office. Before entering the parking lot, in the front yard he saw Xander's car. That means he's in his room.

Kamisha rushed into the room, put down her bag and immediately went towards Xander's room.

"Good morning, Alex."

"Magi mbak Misha's. How's Axel doing?"

"Okay sir." answered Kamisha. "Sorry Mr. Xander is there?"

"There, just___"

"Help me sir, I'll just be a minute."

Alex seemed to think. "Alright, please come in." break up later.

Kamisha rushed into Xander's room.

"Good morning sir." said Kamisha.

Xander just kept quiet, glanced for a moment and his gaze returned to the laptop.

"I'm sorry I interrupted you for a minute."

"I'm busy."

"I beg you for a moment" Kamisha pleaded. "One minute sir. I just want one minute."

Xander took a long breath. "All right, please."

Kamisha took a deep breath before starting to speak. Actually one minute is too short.

"Your time is fifty seconds."

Xander's words scattered his daydream. "I want to apologize for all my mistakes. And I received all the consequences from the father." finally the sentence came out of his mouth. Want how about fifty seconds you can only say sorry.

"What consequences do you mean?"

"Maybe it's my fault you'll fire me."

"Is that what you think of me? that means you consider me an unjust leader."

"I mean father?"

"The problem between me and your family is a personal one. I never mix personal issues with the office. Your performance at the hotel is good so there's no reason for me to fire you."

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Unless you use your lies in the hotel, it will cause great harm to the company. Of course I won't hesitate to fire you."

"No sir, I promise I'll work fine."

"I hold onto your word. Now get out."

"But sir___"

"Your time is up, please come out."

"Good sir, thank you. Excuse me." Kamisha out. His eyes were glazed with glass because Xander did not want to see them at all.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Let's be the spirit of Kamisha, at least at this time I can still work, that's what I need to be grateful he said in his heart. Finally he can also find out that Kyara may not have been fired. The point now is he will prove that he is not a person who likes to lie.

Meanwhile, in Xander's room.

"He's out."

"Already sir, just___"

"Why, if you talk, don't cut it."

"I just saw Kamisha wipe away the tears before leaving your room, probably crying."

"really?"

"True sir."

"What did I say that hurt her heart? I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

"If you're sorry, just forgive Misha sir. I pity to see it."

"I'm still mad at Alex."

"Well, I'll have a meeting with the client soon."

"All right, you can come out."

After Alex's death, Xander was pensive. Actually he was confused by what he felt at this moment between angry, happy, irritated into one. Sorry Kamisha I need time alone to think about all this inner Xander.
