DEW PURITY

Punishment

"Sister, you couldn't sleep last night!"

"If by noon papa's condition has not improved. We'd better take Papa to the hospital. Maybe papa needs more treatment!"

"I'm afraid papa is angry, he doesn't like the hospital atmosphere!" said Sofia hesitated, Iman was silent. The sound of the breath of Faith indicates how much Faith is confused.

"We think about it later, soon Afifah will come. You meet him, you have to go to the office. There are jobs that cannot be delayed!"

"I was left alone with papa!" sofia shouted, when she saw Faith standing.

"Who have you been living with? Aren't you just staying alone with papa!" sahut Faith coldly, Sofia snorted in annoyance. Seems some ART is holding back laughter. Seeing for the first time, Sofia dies a flea.

"Silence!" sofia snaps at the ART. React Faith immediately looked. Obviously Iman did not like Sofia's rude attitude to ART.

"You better get back to work. Leave Miss Sofia, let her serve herself. He's old enough to take his own food!" say Faith towards ART. All nodded in unison and went away from the dining table. Leaving Sofia alone in front of a long, empty and deserted dining table.

"Son of Faith, this is their duty!"

"That was before I was in this house. Now either you follow my rules or you work for the company. At least you can pay those you always command!"

"Sister!"

"Hurry to eat, and then accompany papa. Watch until I know you're gone. Remember, ask Afifah papa's state. We need to get papa to the hospital!" said Iman firmly, then take an office bag and go outside from the magnificent house of Adijaya.

Tap Tap Tap

The sound of graceful steps Afifah heard entering the magnificent house of Adijaya. Sofia was drinking tea and reading a magazine. Proudly, Sofia asks Afifah to check on Dewangga in her room. Since last night, the condition of the Dewangga suddenly decreased. Therefore Faith has asked Afifa to come.

"You're late, brother Faith has just left!"

"I did not look for him, I came to check on Lord Dewangga specifically. I heard, his condition is on the decline!" sahut Afifah is relaxed and calm.

"Impossible, you just came for papa's sake. For decades you have waited for this day. Very foolish, if you do not care about the coming of the brother of Faith!" said Sofia cynically, Afifah turned to Sofia with a dislike look.

"I'm not the only one who cares about your own happiness. We're two women who both love a man. The difference between our love, my love is sincere without expecting anything in return. Instead, your love is full of reciprocity and falsehood. Shouldn't this moment, it should be the happiest person you are. After decades, there will at least be hope that your wait will end. I think Arya is ready to marry you. After her daughter came back, but even if Arya is still willing to marry you?" afifah said casually, Sofia stood up. Afifa's words had clearly lowered her self-esteem.

"Remember Doctor Afifah, there are limits in every word!"

"You started it Sofia. You continue to corner me with the existence of Faith. You judge me low. I think I really want a wedding with your sister. If all of this were true. The marriage between me and your brother was supposed to happen decades ago. But your brother's selfish attitude ruined my dream!"

"Lantas, you're hoping for that wedding now? You never want to lose!"

"Sofia, marriage is a sacred bond. Not a loss we should consider. Marriage is a sacred promise without coercion. Your brother's decision to leave me first. It was the end of a promise that had been said between me and him. One more thing Sofia, I used to be ready to live without treasures with Faith. So very low, if you think I wish to live luxuriously with Faith. She is no longer mine and I no longer wish for her love!"

"Purely!" sahut Sofia is cynical, Afifah smiles thinly.

"Before you point at me. Show yourself, for what sake do you endure and humiliate at Arya's side? If in fact there is only one name that is always spoken from the lips of Arya. Not just in his conscious, even in his drunkenness. Only Almaira's name is spoken. It is not me who is a hypocrite, but you who never dare admit defeat. Arya never loved you, you're nothing more than a runaway of her guilt!"

"Sofia, put your hands down!" snapping Faith, Sofia lowered her hand and looked back. Afifah was surprised as much as Sofia.

"Doctor Afifah, please go to Papa's room!"

"All right!" sahut Afifah gushed, Sofia snorted in annoyance.

Plaaakkkk

"Sister!" sofia said softly, while holding her hot cheeks.

"I'm not slapping you, I'm slapping your inappropriate attitude. Afifah guest in this house, he's been taking care of papa all this time. Not the words of thanks you say. Even the insults that you continue to think are right. You should be ashamed of Sofia, you're both women. You should not insult your own people. I don't know what makes you this arrogant? But brother make sure, your haughty attitude will change. When wealth and luxury are no longer in your grasp!"

"Sister means!" sofia said softly, Iman threw a file on a table.

"I just got your spending report every month. There is not a single expenditure that I feel is important. Starting today, your daily expenses will limit. No more unlimited credit cards. Of the five ATM cards you currently hold. Sister already blocked 4 of them, get ready Sofia lives in simplicity. So you can appreciate the treasure you have!"

"Sister is not entitled, it's all the treasure that papa left me!"

"If you want to sue, brother doesn't forbid it. Brother wait for your demands on the green table. But make no mistake Sofia, your spending for the last twenty years. That compares to 25% of Adijaya shares you have. Remember Sofia, me and Dew have equal rights!"

"Bad brother!"

"Sister must be firm with you, your rude attitude towards Afifa. It all starts from the treasures of papa and the facilities you get. Now, work if you really want to live luxury. Did you not say, Almaira was foolish by giving up her intelligence and ideals to Arya. Now prove it to brother. If you're not as dumb as Almaira who keeps chasing Arya without direction!"

"I'll tell papa!"

"Please, but if your condition gets worse. I'll make sure all the luxury facilities are still on you. I'll pull that second too. Papa spoiled you too much, now is the time for brother to discipline you. Appreciate every drop of papa's sweat, at least while still appreciating others!" said Faith final, then left Sofia alone.

Faith walked towards the room of the Apostle, she saw how painstaking Afifah was caring for the Deity. Faith could only sigh, remembering every word Afifa said to Sofia. The wounds he had inflicted were so deep. Until an apology is said, it will not be able to heal the open wounds.

"Get it!" the greeting of Afifah shimmered, disperse the reverie of Faith. The graceful steps of Afifah, not even able to make Faith realized. Faith dissolves in the endless reverie. The story is unfinished and difficult to forget.

"Yes!" sahut Iman, Afifah silently looked at the nanar Iman.

"Actually we don't need to take him to the hospital. But for the sake of calm, we better take her to the hospital. So that he can get better treatment. One more thing Faith, if you can ask Dew to come to see Mr. Dewangga. He excuses pain and recovers Mr. Dewangga. Her frail body always misses the shadow of Almaira in your daughter's Dew!"

"Alright, I'll ask Dew to come!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Thank you doctor Afifah!" said Iman, Afifa blinked both eyes.

"I'm sorry Afifah, the wound I inflicted was so deep. I'm sorry, if I'm cruel and nothing more than a traitor. The fear of the wounds that Dew has endured, makes me strong and determined to stay away from you. Only someone who feels the difficulty of living with a mother. Being able to imagine, how not easy it is to live with a mother. Do I Afifah, may you find happiness with someone much better than me!" inner Faith, seeing Afifa go far.
