CONFINEMENT

CH - 148 PART II MEETING

"What's your name, Nduk?" Muhibbin said with a quivering voice, his eyes began to condense, his tongue felt faint and his heartbeat was pounding.

The little girl awkwardly said,

"My name is Mutiara Rahmani, mother and eyeang call me with Tiara." Answer with lugu.

"Pearl Rahmani .. beautiful name." Muhibbin lirih.

Muhibbin's gaze was unceasingly staring at the little girl nearby.

"Your face is as beautiful as your mother's, Nduk."

"Your name reminds me of your mother's love for one of the letters in the Quran, your mother used to love reading Ar Rahman's letter and chanting it while still in Surau An Nur." Muhibbin muttered inwardly as he glanced towards Sariwati who was unceasingly wiping her tears.

Tiara just bowed, the little girl looked clumsy and confused what else to say to the man lying before her. Suddenly the little girl said,

"Can Tiara ask you something?" The little girl said awkwardly.

Muhibbin just smiled and nodded his head to find his daughter nervous in front of him.

With doubt, Tiara said again,

"Say Mother, father died before Tiara was born."

"Is this uncle really my father?" The little girl asked briefly, her innocent face with a questioning look like an arrow that hit Muhibbin's chest.

Everyone in the place was stunned to hear Tiara's question to Muhibbin. Everyone's gaze was now on Sariwati who was still lowered and drowned in her cries.

With a deep sigh, Muhibbin answered his daughter's doubts.

"Maybe it's your mother's intention that you can let go of father, Nduk."

"Because Dad was never on your side." Said slowly.

"It's not appropriate for me to be present in your life."

"I'm sorry, Nduk." Mungkas Muhibbin to his son, there is an upheaval in Muhibbin's mind when answering Tiara's question, there is a sense of disappointment and pain to find that he has been considered dead by Sariwati and is currently faced with the fruits of his love.

"Why haven't you been looking for Tiara and Mommy all this time."

"Didn't you love Tiara and Mommy?" Tiara asked back.

Muhibbin only shook his head and could not answer his son's questions.

"Dad is very dear to you, Nduk."

"Right now you probably won't understand why it all happened."

"Either if you're older will understand how complicated adult life is."

"It is the state that hinders and separates us." Said the man softly. Touching Tiara's cheek with his left hand, there was a sense of need to see the little girl in front of him grow up without the affection of a father.

"Dad was so happy to meet this father's beautiful daughter."

"Maybe you can't be a good parent to Tiara all along,"

"And dad's okay if all this time dad is considered no more."

The tears of the man were unbearable.

"It's all dad's fault, son."

"If you're gone after this, I won't regret having met and knowing that I have a good daughter like you, Nduk."

"Father please, Tiara forgave my father's mistakes all along." Muhibbin said with a bitter smile. The tear cannot be held back.

After staring deeply and answering his daughter's questions, Muhibbin turned his back on the people in the place. His feelings were devastated to get the question and the princess's mere confession.

"I'm sorry, Bin."

"I didn't mean it that way." Timpal Sariwati saw the reaction of Muhibbin. The woman was seen rushing forward towards Tiara.

"I'm confused what to answer whenever our son asks about his father." Say it back while getting closer to the bed.

While the Tiara who did not know anything was only dumbstruck to look at her crying mother. His steps drew closer to his mother. While Mrs Warika was seen approaching Sariwati.

"Mommy's very disappointed in you, Wati."

"It's this big you never told Mami and Papi." Madam Warika whispered to Sariwati but was clearly heard by the people in the room.

"Moreover you poisoned Tiara's mind by saying that her father was dead." Shoot Mr. Bendowo's wife on the child. The old woman's face looked tangled looking at her daughter who continued to cry.

"Let's see no other answer to explain to Tiara who her father was and where he was." Say it while you are pleased.

The woman was seen wiping her tears with the tip of her veil.

"It's only Timoti's father who knows all these things."

"After Dad knew the truth, he died thinking about what Wati was going through."

"Wati doesn't want to burden Papi and Mami. Wati is worried that what Timoti's father experienced will also be experienced by Papi and Mami."

"Dead when it was in a difficult position, let alone my state of being sick and paralyzed. I can't babysit Tiara completely." Sariwati answered her mother's question.

"But you don't have to lie like that, Wati."

"There's still another way out of all your problems." Madam Warika's words returned, while Mr. Bendowo's face looked crimson withstanding the disappointment, while the others were only speechless watching the debate of the two.

"Wouldn't Papi and Mami not have approved of our relationship."

"Is it possible that I say everything when I strongly reject my relationship with Ibbin until your arranged marriage with Seto is forced." Sariwati replied to the mother.

"Wati .. Do you know what you said just now?"

"Don't you consider your son's feelings right now." Hardik mistress Warika. The old woman looked angry with the answer Sariwati gave her.

"It's ... enough!"

"You don't have to fight just because you're sorry for me."

"Please leave me alone!" Muhubbin said he heard the hearing of Sariwati and Madam Warika. His breathing was seen hunting interspersed with an unrelenting cough.

Seeing the change in Muhibbin's condition, Resi Giri Waja who had observed the incident in front of him approached and examined Muhibbin.

His old hand was seen clutching the arm of the young man lying in front of him. Carefully touched the pulse at Muhibbin's auction.

"Son, Mirah .. please help me quickly."

"Other please leave this room." Seru Resi Giri Waja with a serious face.

Gus Aji Putra and Gung Niang Mirah appear to be starting to provide assistance to Muhibbin. While the young man continued to cough and his breathing began to grow stingier. From his nose came a red liquid that seemed to be fresh blood and his mouth started spewing out liquid mixed with blood as well.

"Father Resi ... What exactly happened to this young man? Asked Mr. Bendowo with a surprised face to find a very rapid change in Muhibbin.

"As I said before, Master."

"Muhibbin's body is mostly not working normally."

"This is what's happening right now."

"His mental reaction also affected his body's condition." Answer Giri Waja.

"But can it still be helped, Father Resi." Ask Mr. Bendowo back.

With a sigh, Sang Resi again said.

"We leave everything to the Gods, I'm just trying. But the outcome is almighty decisive."

"For the time being, please take the master's family out of this room." Resi Giri Waja's legs in reply to the small nod of Mr. Bendowo.

But suddenly Sariwati interrupts the conversation of her father and Resi Giri Waja.

"Father Resi .. can I stay in this room?"

"I know a little about medicine."

"Let me help Muhibbin." Said Sariwati pleading with Resi Giri Waja.

But with a gentle smile and a sling of the head, Resi replied,

"No need, Ni Mas."

"The three of us can still handle Nak Mas Muhibbin."

"You just wait outside with your family." Refuse Giri Waja Resi smooth.

Now everyone has come out of the room leaving Resi Giri Waja, Gus Aji Putra and Gung Niang Mirah who look to help treat Muhibbin.
