CONFINEMENT

CH 147 - MEETING

"Our daughter is here now, Bin."

"My mothers are here too."

"We came to this place after getting a letter from Gus Aji Putra informing you that you are currently sick" Sariwati said, explaining her arrival with her family.

"I am truly sorry for what Brother Habsari did to you, Bin."

"I really didn't expect that he would do that much to get what he wanted." Pungkas Sariwati who now sits back in front of the bed.

"That's not all Papi's will or mine, what Habsari's doing is his initiative."

"I know it wasn't easy for you to accept it because what my brother did to you was so outrageous." Sariwati said to Muhibbin. Sariwati glared at the sight of what Habsari did to the man beside her.

"It's .. don't need you to explain what your brother has done to me everything."

"What I want to hear, does my son know that I'm his father?" Muhibbin asked the woman sitting next to him.

Sariwati was silent for a moment, breathing deeply.

"I haven't told him who his father is yet."

"All he knows is he doesn't have a father."

"Since I gave birth to her, Seto has divorced me."

"Timoti's father was hit with what I experienced, to make him die."

"Since Timoti's father's departure, we have lived together with my maid."

"When I lay paralyzed, Tiara was nurtured and raised by We Landep and Me Iluh."

"The days we spent were only full of humiliation and insults from my eldest brother."

"And lately after Tiara started growing up, Papi Bendowo and Mami Warika came to the Beach Country, they both settled here with us." Silence Sariwati while wiping her tears.

Muhibbin was silent while looking at the ceiling of his room. There was a sense of guilt in the heart of the man.

"Can you find me with him?" muhibbin said as he looked at Sariwati's face.

The pink-hooded woman nodded her head. A gentle smile touched Muhibbin's cheek before he got out of his seat.

***

Semantara outside the room, it seems that people are still in a group in front of the room, it seems that Resi Giri Waja and Gus Aji Putra are talking seriously with Mr. Bendowo, he said, gung Niang Mirah is seen with Madam Warika and a little girl who is always beside her.

In a corner of the terrace of the building, Disya sat with a swollen face from crying, next to her sat Sekar and the Holy Kingdom accompanied her. While Puan Rizza and Diera just stood still without a word nearby.

"I still don't think there's a shameless woman like Sariwati."

"In times like this he took the opportunity to seek the attention of Muhibbin."

"Let me spit on his face so that he realizes that all this is the cause." Desya growled while squeezing the end of her veil.

Sekar who saw his best friend like that tried to calm him down,

"You're patient, Dis."

"I'm sure Bli Ibbin knows what's good and what's not."

"She will not be easily influenced by the intrigue of Sariwati and her family."

"I believe Bli Ibbin won't turn away from you."

"At this moment he was just thinking about his son."

"How angry Bli Ibbin is with that woman, she will never have the heart to ignore her child."

"When Raya and I met her, she was really looking forward to seeing you."

"He loves you so much, Dis."

"I saw the twinkle of hope emanating from his gaze when I mentioned your name, he was very enthusiastic and excited."

"The most important thing right now is that you must be strong to fight for your love."

"You don't give up, I'll always support you." Pungkas Sekar to his best friend.

"But I feel like a nobody to Ibiin, Kar."

"Other than I am like this."

"How would Ibbin react if he knew I was pregnant right now." Say Disya while sniffling.

Disya's heart is turbulent and there is a doubt implied by her to meet her lover.

"Either Kar, right now I'm confused between wanting to meet him or me avoiding him."

"I can't imagine how devastated your brother was to find me like this." Culpuruh. His face with both his palms. He cried bitterly imagining what Muhibbin would do when he met him.

"It's ... already."

"You don't suck at being sad like that."

"Nobody wants to get a disaster like you are experiencing right now, it's all fate, Dis." said Mrs Rizza comforted her best friend.

"True Dis, what did Rizza and Sekar's sister say. I'm sure Muhibbin's not that petty judging you." Timpal Diera also entertained Disya.

Suddenly the door of the room opened, all eyes were on Sariwati who came out of the room. It was seen that the woman approached Resi Giri Waja and the lord of Bendowo and Gus Aji Putra.

Soon they seemed to be talking about something and no matter how long the Rishi and the people in front of the door entered without exception, before stepping a glance, Sariwati's gaze was fixed on Disya and her friends who were in the corner of the terrace of the building before finally the woman went back into the room.

Seeing that Disya looked even more furious and said,

"You see .. This time they went all in and ignored us here."

"It's as if my presence in this place is undesirable." Said the woman with a feeling of disappointment.

"You don't say that, Dis."

"Maybe there is something that makes Wati and family must go into meeting Bli Ibbin."

"I'm sure Bli Ibbin won't betray you because when I met him with Raya earlier, he really wanted to see you when I mentioned your name." Sekar Jempiring comforted Disya who looked sad and disappointed.

All the people who were in that place just fell silent, while the sun above Griya Manuaba began to close cloudy even though the day had gone.

***

The room that was not so big seemed to be filled with people who had just entered with the Resi.

Resi Giti Waja stood near Muhibbin who was still lying weak, while the others were not far from the owner of Griya Manuaba.

"Sir Mas, this time the family of Mr. Bendowo came to see you."

"They are in Manuaba's Griya at my and Son's invitation."

"I hope Nak mas doesn't mind about it." Said the Rishi to Muhibbin while touching his shoulder.

Muhibbin only fell silent and stared at one by one the faces of the people who surrounded his place lying down. The man's gaze stopped on the figure of the little girl who was standing not far from Sariwati. Highlight his eyes fixedly observing the girl with long unraveled hair.

Suddenly madam Warika advanced and approached towards the bed.

"How are you doing right now, son?" Madam Warika asked Muhibbin from his daydream.

"Emh .. I'm fine, Madam." Muhibbin replied slightly stuttering and trying to sit up and move his body.

The man still vividly remembered the face of Sariwati's mother.

"Lay down, you don't have to get up from your place." The old lady came back.

With a slight clumsiness, Muhibbin lay back down.

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, if I'm not polite." Answer Muhibbin.

"It's okay, son."

"You lie down, your current state is still weak and hopefully your body condition will soon return to its original state." Madame Warika is back. While the others were just silent to see Muhibbin who was still lying and Madam Warika who was now standing on the edge of the bamboo bed.

With a look of pity, Madam Warika said again,

"I'm sorry for our family, son."

"We all don't know and don't think that big sister Wati did this to you and we're very sorry for what you're going through right now." Madam Warika said softly, there was a feeling of guilt heard from her tone.

"It's okay, Madam."

"It is common for us little people to receive this kind of treatment."

"There is nothing we can do but to accept everything." Answer Muhibbin coldly.

Madam Warika masgul heard the innuendo and cold reply of the young man lying in front of her.

The atmosphere was quiet again in the room, but suddenly Madam Warika asked the nine-year-old little girl who was standing next to Sariwati to come closer to her.

"Come here, Nduk."

"'Close to the princess's eyes." Madame Warika said to the little girl.

With hesitation, the little girl approached the bed where her grandmother and Muhibbin were.

Muhibbin's gaze continued to stare closely at the little girl, without feeling the tears falling on her cheeks. Want to feel embraced by the little girl who is now standing next to Madam Warika.

"Tiara .. salim to your father." Madam Warika said back with a quivering voice, her feelings at this moment were mixed at the meeting of her granddaughter with the man lying in front of her. There was a newness to his feelings besides the disappointment of knowing the fact that his daughter Sariwati had been covering up the truth she should have known from the beginning.

While Mr. Bendowo who had been silent just sighed deeply watching the scene that occurred in front of him.

"Maybe I've been too hard on Sariwati and the young man."

"I will never be able to separate the blood ties between them, my son and grandson have been suffering for so long because of my selfishness."

"And the man .. what a pity what has befallen him." The muttered heir of the Harsuto Dynasty was inwardly.
