#IGYM Season 2

After the incident, Dirga immediately decided to go home. He wanted to apologize to his wife and child, just because his ego didn't think about the feelings of the two women he loved the most.

"Dim, I'll go home first! Please, you take care of everything!" pamit Dirga's.

"Good, Sir."

As he was leaving, Dirga's footsteps were stopped by Tania's call.

"Sir Dirga, wait!"

"What's up, Tan?" ask Dirga.

"Sa-I'm sorry for what happened, sir. By Allah, I have no intention whatsoever" Tania said with her head lowered.

"It's okay. If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I want to go home."

"E. please, apologize to your wife!"

"Well, I'll tell you later."

After saying that, Dirga immediately rushed out of the office and drove his car to go home.

Arriving at home, Dirga immediately met Assyifa in her room. With trembling hands, Dirga opened the room door.

Dirga can see, his daughter is focusing on books at the study table. Seeing the innocent face of his daughter, the guilt suddenly reappeared.

"By learning what?" dirga asked while crouching beside Syifa.

"I'm doing a job for the teacher, Pah."

"The crafts of papa's children, indeed given what duty?" Dirga asked again while stroking Syifa's head.

"But told to draw family members, I now again picture mom and dad. Then I'll add pictures of Reyhan's father, mother, and brother" Syifa explained and showed the results of the picture to Dirga.

Dirga received the picture book, and saw a picture in which he and Zulfa held hands. No tears began to wet Dirga's cheeks, Syifa who knew immediately wiped the tears with her tiny fingers.

"Why are you crying? Syifa's picture is wrong, isn't it?"

"No, Son. Your picture is correct and very good" replied Dirga and hugged Assyifa.

"Sorry papa, yes! Papa rarely has time for you and mom" said Dirga.

Assyifa also immediately returned the embrace of her father was no less tight, even she also began to cry as much as a hiccup because she missed her father so much.

"Syifa kangen papa, Syifa wants to be escorted and picked up by papa again."

"Yes, from tomorrow papa will take you and pick you up as usual."

Dirga broke his embrace and wiped the remaining tears Syifa.

"Where's mama? No, you're not learning" asked Dirga.

"Mama's in the room, Pah. Every morning and evening mama always vomit, Syifa pity to see mama's face pale, but still want to take Syifa and pick her up to school" Syifa said.

Hearing his daughter's words, Dirga's heart again throbbed in pain. He has failed to be a good husband and father to his wife and child.

"You continue to learn! Papa wants to go to the room and see my mom" said Dirga and was carried over by Syifa.

................

While in the room, Dirga searches for Zulfa's whereabouts. Until he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

Dirga chose to sit on the sofa waiting for Zulfa to come out of the bathroom, Dirga took off her shoes, suit, and tie.

Taj long ago, Zulfa came out of the bathroom with a fresher face after bathing. As if he did not see Dirga's whereabouts, he immediately sat in front of the dressing table.

"Yes!" call Dirga, but Zulfa doesn't respond.

Undeterred, Dirga sat down and bowed her head in Zulfa's lap.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you and Syifa at all. And for that, it's not what you thought. You can hear Tania's explanation if she didn't mean anything" said Dirga trying to soften his wife's heart.

"You know what, Mas? Life without a father and then left mother to go out of nowhere, it feels completely destroyed. There is no one who can be used as a backup when slumped.

That's what I thought when I heard Syifa's complaint, she was the closest to a father, but in an instant had to lose her attention."

"I realize I was wrong. Please forgive my mistake!" dirga pinta.

"I apologize to Syifa!" cetus Zulfa then stood up to leave Dirga.

However, Dirga pulls Zulfa's hand until Zulfa's body falls in Dirga's lap.

"I also need your forgiveness. I want us to start all over again" said Dirga.

"Give me time, Mom! It's not easy for me to forgive your attitude lately" Zulfa said, leaving the room, leaving Dirga alone.

The next day, Dirga looked lazy to go to the office. Especially when hearing and seeing for yourself when Zulfa who experienced morning sickness.

"We go to the doctor, yes! Your face is very pale," asked Dirga.

"No, I'll also get better myself. This is already a common thing experienced by pregnant women," said Zulfa refused Dirga's invitation.

"If so, I made ginger wedang for you. Wait a minute, yeah!"

Without hearing Zulfa's answer, Dirga headed straight to the kitchen to make a glass of ginger wedang. When he was ready, he took her to his room.

"It's a drink!" Dirga gave the ginger wedang earlier to Zulfa.

"Thank you" said Zulfa after receiving the wedang.

Zulfa also enjoyed every sip of ginger wedang that warmed his stomach.

"Mas!" call Zulfa after a while.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there anything you want?" dirga asked enthusiastically because his wife was willing to talk to him.

"No, brother told us to come to his house later in the afternoon. There are important things he wants to say" said Zulfa.

"What's important, Yang? How to tumben," asked Dirga.

"I don't know either, you just say that."

"Ok, we'll be there by noon."

Tok tok tok tok

Someone knocked on Dirga and Zulfa's bedroom door.

"Lake in!" dirga Sahut.

The door opened and Syifa came.

"Mama, when are you going to the mother's house? I miss your mother's cooking," asked Syifa as she lay on Zulfa's arm.

"Later in the afternoon, you will still be working" Zulfa replied as she gently stroked her daughter's hair.

"When I already miss the same mother's cooking, want to go on a bike ride with my father and brother Reyhan as well" Syifa explained.

Dirga and Zulfa looked at each other after hearing Syifa's words. Dirga approached Syifa and kissed her forehead.

"Now Syifa is ready! We go to the mother's house," said Dirga.

"Really, Pah?"

"Yes, honey." So happy, Syifa then kissed Dirga and Zulfa cheeks and went to her room.

"Mas, you're gonna have to work."

"Yes, I took you first after that I went straight to the office," said Dirga.

After hearing Dirga's words, Zulfa also prepared to go to her brother's house.
