224. Regret Plus Shame

Rex drives his father's car quickly to pick up Lanni and Mira who are in a cafe. The two mothers had just attended a friend's birthday invitation. They stared with horror gazes as they saw Rex arrive in front of the cafe.

" Came at last. How long is Rex..," protested Mira.

" I'm sorry Ma, overslept..," Rex said with a grin.

" So when Mama called you were sleeping...?!" ask Mira not to believe it.

" No longer sleeping Mama, but sleeping..," said Rex tried to rectify the speech of Gama's mother.

" Ngeles mulu nih rich bajaj..," muttered Mira while pouting to make Lanni and Rex laugh.

" How come there's only Mama here. Where are the other mothers...?" rex asked as he spread his gaze around the corner.

" This is because you are late to pick up!, so Mama and the last Mother come home. Thankfully, the cafe is not closed. Mama could be the same Mother is suspected of security cafe because sitting outside rich gini...!" mira said ketus to make Rex laugh amusedly.

" You're not sorry, you're laughing Rex...!" lanni's jolt was upset while pinching Rex's arm until the child grimaced in pain.

" Yes, I'm sorry, beautiful mothers" Rex said, cupping his palms in front of his chest.

Lanni and Mira snorted in annoyance then got into the car quickly leaving Rex who was still standing observing his surroundings as if he was looking for something.

Apparently at that time Rex heard the sound of female screams in the distance that made him curious. But the mother's call keeps Rex from finding out.

" Come on Rex, wait a minute...?!" ask Lanni.

" Well, Mom...!" sahut Rex then rushed to sit behind the wheel.

Rex drove off at a moderate pace while listening to Lanni and Mira chat. When the car was speeding suddenly Rex was surprised by the arrival of a woman who stood in front of the car. Luckily Rex managed to stop the car in time so as not to hit the woman. Rex was stunned for a moment for recognizing the woman.

" Tolooonngg...!, please help me...!" itje said in a panic while looking back many times.

" What's up Auntie...?" rex asked while opening the car door.

Itje seemed surprised to learn that the person she asked for help was Rex, the man she always despised with hurtful words. But at that time Itje dismissed his shame because the fear that dominated his heart was more important.

" What's up Auntie...?" repeat Rex while touching the woman's shoulder to make Itje aware of his daydream.

" To. please Aunt Rex. Ak... Aksara.. she was beaten in sa... there...!" sahut Itje with a stammering voice and tears flooded his face.

Itje's speech surprised Rex. He hurried to close the door after telling Lanni and Mira to stay in the car.

Rex ran after Itje who ran first. From a distance Rex can see Aksara being persecuted by a man who is none other than Melvin. Together with them were two other men who just silently watched the persecution.

Then Rex pushed forward to pull Aksara as well as lift a kick into Melvin's stomach. Rex's actions caused Melvin to fall into a stranglehold to the surprise of two men who were standing watching earlier.

Aksara was immediately pulled over by the mother and cried there. While Rex appears to face two Melvin bodyguards who turned to attack him with a violent.

But in an instant the two bodyguards sprawled over the pavement with bruises on his face and body. Melvin curses in annoyance and orders both bodyguards into the car. A moment later, the car quickly left the place.

" Let's take me to Auntie's Hospital." said Rex.

" No need. We just go home, Ma..," sela Aksara while looking at the Mama.

" But your wounds need to be treated Sa..," Rex warned.

" Rex's right. We go to the hospital first Sa. We go to the Hospital where Papa was treated just so Mama did not bother..," persuaded Itje to make the script powerless to refuse.

After that Rex helped to get Aksara into the car. Lanni and Mira are surprised to see Rex return with the injured Aksara.

Lanni went down and helped open the car door for Aksara and her mother. After making sure everyone was sitting comfortably, Rex drove to Sentosa Hospital.

Both of Itje's eyes looked puffy because most of them were crying. She was in her husband's hospital room. There was also Aksara lying on another bed beside Azam.

" Udah Ma, do not cry continuously..," said Azam Lirih.

" Why Mama ga nangis Pa. Melvin Mukulin Sara is so rich. If Rex doesn't come, maybe our Son died earlier." said Itje in between his tears.

" What's the matter. Why is Melvin sampe mukulin Sara...?" azam asked with a trembling voice holding back the anger.

" Mama doesn't know Pa. Initially Melvin ngajak Sara met. Because the feeling of Mama is not good, so Mama Maksa joined Sara earlier.Mama deliberately joined them and ngamatin aja from afar. But Mama was shocked when she squirmed Melvin mukul Sara. Mama wants to nolongin but is scared because Melvin brought two bodyguards Pa. Keep them maksa Sara come and it makes Mama panic. So Mama ran for help and met Rex..," said Itje while rubbing her wet face.

" It's Ma's criminal. We have to call the police...!" azam was angry.

" Yes Pa. Sara had been diagnosed and tomorrow Mama's intention was to report the news to the police.., ." said Itje quickly.

" good. By the way Rex where's Ma...?" ask Azam.

" After we went to the Hospital he went straight home with his mother Pa..," said Itje while bowing his head to make Azam smile.

" Why Ma, mrs...?" asked Azam while looking at his wife.

" Yes Pa, Mama nyesel plus shy. The man Mama Proud of even hurt Sara. But the person who has been humiliated by Mama all out is precisely he who helps us. Not just once, but a few times. Mama ga abis thought why Mama used to be evil and hate the same Rex..," said Itje while shedding tears.

" Related always comes too late Ma. Consider this the best lesson for Mama. Honestly Papa was not able to teach Mama to be a good person. Because every time Papa ingetin Mama always angry and angry. Hopefully after this Mama can be more careful in acting. Don't forget to apologize to Rex ya Ma..," Azam said in a raucous voice to make Itje's cry even more.

" Yes Pa, Mama's gonna apologize to Rex. Mama also apologized to Papa for never hearing Papa's advice. Sorry..," said Itje while hugging her husband.

" Yes, Papa Maafin Mama kok..," said Azam while rubbing the wife's back gently.

Next to Azam and Itje, Aksara smiled as her parents hugged each other.

Tears seemed to flow from the corner of Aksara's eyes. Although Aksara is happy because the mother finally knows how Melvin really is. Aksara hopes that after this his life can return to normal as before.
