Bondage of Love

That Cloudy Afternoon

"I'm sorry to Mr. Amir's family." the nurse's call made Kamisha and Mr. Yanti's bulik end the conversation.

"Yes sister." - sahut Kamisha.

"The doctor wants to talk to Mr. Amir's family."

"All right." answered Kamisha. "Sheep, I'll go to the doctor's office first."

"Go, I'll wait in your room."

Kamisha followed the nurse into the doctor's office. He was very lucky when looking after his sick father, the content is good - fine. He no longer felt dizzy and vomited. The baby in the womb is actually actively moving.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you doctor."

"You're Amir's family."

"Yes my daughter. My name is Kamisha."

"Alright Mr. Kamisha, I will here explain about Mr. Amir's last condition."

"Please doctor."

"Some time ago Mr. Amir was hospitalized because of a fall, right?"

"Doctor's needle."

"I'm very sorry about this but I have to say it. The effects of falling once had an effect on his current health. Some of Mr. Amir's blood vessels broke. Then there is also peptic ulcer disease so that the stomach irritation and inflammation. All this time maybe he did not say anything to the family so he did not know his condition."

Kamisha shed tears when she heard her father's condition which was very severe. Her chest feels tight.

"We have tried our best, but because of Mr. Amir's advanced age, many existing treatments were rejected by his body and his reaction was very slow."

"Will my father be able to heal the doctor?"

"Just a miracle and a prayer from Kamisha's mother's family. Mr. Amir's life depends on tools."

Kamisha was eager to hug the father at this time. Hugging the man he left behind. He wanted to apologize to my father again.

"Okay doctor, thank you very much for the help of the doctor. Excuse me."

"Please."

Kamisha came out of the doctor's office. His footsteps led him to a garden in the hospital. He sat on a wooden bench facing a fountain.

God, why your sickness can be so bad. What I should do. I need to get her to a better hospital. But seeing the condition and age of the father seems impossible. Many thoughts and questions raged on his chest. Had he been with Xander right now, it would not have been this heavy.

Drrtt.

"Hello bulik."

"Where areyou? I keep looking for you."

"Yes, I'll be there."

Rushed Kamisha towards the room where the father was being treated. Before entering he took a deep breath not forgetting to wipe his tears and tried to smile.

"Sir." said

"Where have you been?"

"So from the doctor's office."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Father don't worry, you will recover" said Kamisha while stroking Mr. Amir's hand. "Kamisha bribe huh?"

Mr. Amir shook his head. "Sha, you don't have to lie. Father's condition is getting lower."

Kamisha was silent, her eyes were glazed. "Father must be excited, do you not want to see your grandson born" said Kamisha while rubbing his stomach.

"Sha." call Mr. Amir in a soft voice.

"Yes sir." Kamisha approached because she barely heard her father's voice.

"Father wants to see you happy, do not always sacrifice your happiness for the sake of others" said Mr. Amir. "Promise me that if you leave one day, don't be sad. You have to continue your life happily for the sake of the children. I'm sure Xander will always take care of you."

"What is this father talking about? I'm sure you'll be healed. Don't talk weird." Kamisha sobbed helplessly to endure the grief.

"Father wes kesel nduk (father is tired). I want to calm down because your mother ning kono (Bapak wants to be calm with your mother there)."

The cry of Kamisha was unstoppable again. "Sir, please don't talk like that, don't leave Kamisha" Kamisha said. "I'm sorry and I promise I won't leave you again."

"Sir, I always forgive all your mistakes. Let me rest, I'm really tired. Remember after this you must live happily."

Kamisha hugged Mr. Amir as well as the bulik Yanti. Until the breath of Mr. Amir long - slow and then calm.

"Sir. sir.." call Kamisha repeatedly but Mr. Amir is silent. Kamisha immediately called the nurse.

A few nurses and doctors came in to check on her. "Sorry, Mr. Kamisha and Ms. Yanti, Mr. Amir is dead."

Kamisha was sitting limp, her heart was completely broken, the person she loved had left her. He could not say anything - he just fell silent with a blank look. His tears continued to flow. Bulik Yanti hugged him tightly. They are equally grieving for the death of Mr. Amir.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

That morning Kamisha began to take care of the funeral of Mr. Amir. He was waiting for his second brother from Medan. During their stay they rarely returned to Java. They communicate only by phone.

Mama Attalia came with Harvey and Zeline. They gave their encouragement and support to Kamisha. But the one he had longed for did not come, the one who would have willingly given a shoulder to him lean on at this moment did not appear at all.

Xander I need you, Kamisha said in her heart.

"Sha, you just rest first."

"Later on, ma. I'm still waiting for mbak__.."

"Pity your baby, you haven't eaten yet."

"I'm not hungry yet."

"Eat a little."

Kamisha shook his head weakly.

Shortly after, her second sister and husband arrived. They hugged each other and cried. Because they lost someone they loved.

After all was ready, the funeral began and all the families drove Mr. Amir to his final contest. Axel was always beside Kamisha with a firm hold of his mommy hand. Kamisha was very lucky to have him.

Cloudy that afternoon ushered in the departure of Mr. Amir.

"Mommy I'll always be by your side."

"Thank you dear."

"I will take care of you" he said, hugging Kamisha.

"I'm sorry mommy, Axel because of the end of this mommy paid less attention to you. Mommy loves you." whispered Kamisha.

After Mr. Amir's funeral, all the family went home. Mama Attalia accompanied him for two days because Xander had to be treated. He couldn't leave Xander that long.

"How are you?"

"Very good ma, he's very active."

Mama Attalia stroked Kamisha's already bloated stomach. "Well, good, Oma's granddaughter."

Kamisha smiled at Attalia's mama who was happy with her pregnancy. He is still grateful to be surrounded by people who love him.

It doesn't feel like it's been a week since Mr. Amir's departure. His second brother had returned to Medan, they were only given three days off. That afternoon after the prayer together, Kamisha met a yanti bulik.

"Belk."

"Sheep, after this I'll move house."

"Why, Sha? this is your home too."

"There's a reason, I'd be sad if I stayed here. There are memories of father and father Ayu here. The second one if I want to start my new life I'd better stay in a bull town. My only skill is baking, if I apply for office work I'm afraid that my pregnancy will interfere with my work."

"You didn't leave because you weren't comfortable with the bulik, did you?"

"Not bulik, I just take the strategic and practical side. If I were to sell cakes in the city the results would be different."

"Didn't your in-laws always give you money? why are you still working so hard?"

"Bulik will know I'm not a money person likes to hang life with others" replied Kamisha. "Bulik just stay here, keep your father's house."

"You don't mind?"

"No, I don't mind at all. Later bulik accompanied by mbak Ajeng. Let mbok Sri come with me to town."

"Well, if that's your decision."

"Please take care of your father's house, bulik."

"Well, Bulik will take care of my father's house."

Kamisha hugged tightly the bulik Yanti.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

After returning home from Jogja, Attalia's mother gets word that Alex has met with Norman. His two weeks in Medan finally paid off. That's because Norman and his family often move because they are often monitored by people.

This time Attalia's mama insists on being able to talk to the stubborn Xander. Although later he could have been injured due to Xander's rampage.

"Xander! open the door, Mama want to talk?"

"Go, ma! I want to be alone!"

"Wind itself? till when?!" yelled mama Attalia irritated. He called some male servants. "Bring the door down!" his orders.

Braakk! braakk! braakk! duueerr! finally the door opened.

"Get out of you before I throw these things!"

"Throw away! mama's fed up with your childlike behavior!"

"I don't like mama interfering with my decisions."

"Whatever! you like it or don't like mama to talk to you."

"I don't want to hurt my mom!"

"You think yesterday - yesterday you didn't hurt Mom? With your attitude like this you don't think you hurt Mama? With you driving out Kamisha in a pregnant state you didn't hurt mama?!"

"Pregnant? Kamisha pregnant ma?"

"Yes she's pregnant and now lives alone with Axel because of you!"

"But he cheated ma."

"Open your eyes, son. On what basis did you accuse Kamisha of cheating? on the basis of photos?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"The photo was Kyara's engineering! He made all of that. And you need to know that Kyara killed Dimas and embezzled the company's money." mama Attalia gave Xander all the evidence. "Mama was sorry for Kamisha, one week ago her father died. Where were you when you needed someone to strengthen it."

"Sir's father died?"

"Yes, and I have to wake you up so soon to stop hurting yourself and Kamisha. You know Kamisha loves you, she's also traumatized by infidelity. How can you accuse him."

"Mama, I. I was confused and angry at my current condition. I. I. can't think clearly."

Mama approached Xander who was in a wheelchair. "Look at you Xander, you're skinny, shabby, unkempt. Mama please rise up son, for your wife and child."

Xander cried

"Wicked woman, how could she hurt Kamisha. Lucky you didn't love him. Turns out he was treated in a mental hospital."

"What! I really didn't expect."

"Open your heart and mind, son. Let's go get some medicine, so you can walk again soon." mama Attalia hugged her only son.

"Did Kamisha Maj forgive me? I'm disabled and me5e5became an unreliable man."

e0w

"Of course you want, Kamisha's a good wife. Don't be discouraged, son. We all love you." mama Attalia cheered. "Look at these results of the ultrasound of Kamisha, your son Xander."

Xander looked at the USG results with wet eyes. His hands trembled withstanding the turmoil that was in his heart. "I'm sorry, baby."

Mama Attalia took care of her son with some servants. Starting from bathing, shaving hair - hair on his face that grows thick and cut his hair. Xander ate voraciously, making Attalia's mama happy.

"I want to go to Jogja, ma."

"really? oh my god mama is very happy dear." said mama Attalia. "Wait for Alex to come home from the field."

"Alex to Medan?"

"Yes he's going to meet Norman. Let's just wait to hear from him."

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Alex is at Nirman's new house. He supported his wife's children with money given from Heny.

"What's wrong, Alex?"

"Heny is dead Norman. Looks like he was killed."

"Deceased? Killed?" asked Norman. He didn't think Heny's age was so short.

"Well, that's right, and the killer is Kyara."

"Kyara?" norman's face turned deathly pale for a moment. He soon found out that Alex must have found evidence - evidence of his involvement with Kyara from Heny.

"And don't rule out the possibility that the next target is you."

Norman was silent.

"Work with me Norman. I will protect you and your family. I can guarantee your safety."

"But I'm going to jail."

"Family Mr. Xander will attract⁷an best lawyer. They will try to ease your punishment. Is that not the consequence you have to pay. Poor family oak Dimas."

Nirman bowed, his hands trembling. "Well, it's true it's a consequence that I have to accept" said Notman. "Some time ago there was an unknown phone number terrorizing me often."

"Is that Kyara?"

"Maybe."

"Now you come with me to Bandung. We lure Kyara out of hiding."

"How is it?"

"Let's set a strategy if we get to Bandung and meet with Mr. Xander."

"Well I'll come to Bandung but please protect my family in Medan."

"That's for sure."
