Through a long and time-consuming process, Aka finally managed to free his wife from custody with a hefty security deposit. It doesn't matter to him as long as he can meet the seeker soon.
A letter to appeal has gone to court. Aka can breathe a little relieved, because one of the biggest problems can be resolved. Next maybe later he will demand back Alodie and Galen put the pair of ex-lovers into prison.
"Doctor why? His face was tense." Mita was a little upset to see Aka who was pacing back and forth in the waiting room while waiting for her wife to be released.
He breathed deeply and then he exhaled slowly. "I was very bad. Usually if you want to meet important people not up to this." Aka held onto her chest which was beating faster. It all felt like an erratic jumble in it.
"Game!" Mita shrugged her shoulders as if she did not care what Aka felt. He chose to leave from there, while Aka stood on his hands. His eyes looked at the waiting room door hoping to open soon and his wife appeared from there.
"Huh, long time." Aka was annoyed that her patience had run out and no longer looked at the door. A minute later,
"Mas" call Fathia.
His straight back turned to look at the caller. Aka froze and mute in place as if time stopped spinning. Not knowing what to do, his legs also seemed dead to step. His tongue was too faint to say that he had longed so much. His black eyes did not blink looking at the figure from head to toe, as if convincing himself that standing in front of him was now the owner of the heart which he later always mentioned in prayer.
Netra eyes caught something that made his leg knees feel weak, Aka fell down and put both palms together in front of the chest. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he said. He cried bitterly to see the condition of the woman who is now two-bodied must languish in prison.
No more words were spoken from the man's lips. Only the roar of tears conveyed how sorry he was at the moment. Mita was right, she admitted that she was very, very sorry to have kicked the wife out of the house.Even a thousand times the apology she said would not be able to eliminate the suffering Fathia received.
The woman sat down in front of her husband. He hugged Aka and gently stroked the long black hair. "My son and I are fine. You don't have to feel guilty" he said behind Aka's back.
"I've been mean to you and our son. It's true Mita said that I'm a stupid man!" Aka let go of their embrace and then he kissed his wife's forehead long enough as if channeling an unspoken taste.
"You're not stupid, Mom. As a husband, you would choose a legal wife over me whose status and identity are unclear." Fathia wiped away the tears on her husband's cheek.
Aka brought the wife to sit on the bench.
"You're also my legal wife, sorry if I'm late to realize it. Again, sorry, my selfish attitude won't listen to your explanation first." Aka to prostrate under the feet of the wife. It was regretful that it continued to hit his chest until Aka felt tremendous pain.
"What are you doing, Mom? Here sit beside me! It's not worth it like this" asked Fathia.
"The husband who has let his son and wife suffer, deserves to apologize to his wife by prostrating like this, if you need to punish me, slap or hit me also do not pa-pa." Aka raised her head to look at the beautiful eyeball which was able to make her soul feel calm.
"No, Mom! You're not wrong and I don't need your law. Here sit next to me," he patted the bench on the right side.
"Where are you?" tanya Aka tidied the wife's hair.
"I'm good, Mas and our son are good too. She's not fussy, it doesn't make me hard while here" replied Fathia stroking her already bloated stomach.
Aka put her hand there. "Sorry, Papa, yes, son!"
Fathia gave a warm smile and stroked the man's jaw and grew coarse feathers.
"Why don't you shave, Mom?"
"My time is up to think of you" said Aka. He also put his hands on the hands of his wife, feeling the warm touch that he had longed for.
"We're home, yuk!" take Mita who suddenly comes.
"Bother you!" pissed Aka.
"Let's go back to the agency at home!"
"We go back to the house of the mother first, yes," Aka asked the wife.
"Aren't I going to stay here?"
Aka shook her head and took the wife into an embrace. "Don't talk like that! I hurt to hear it, even seeing your condition now my heart is broken. I've guaranteed you and now you can come with me home."
"I'm sorry, Mas if it makes you disappointed and now even add to your problems" said Fathia in her husband's chest.
"Dear, it's not your fault. The cause of all this is Alodie, and he who should be punished is not you! We're home, yeah!"
Fathia nodded happily, she was finally able to reap the fruits of her patience all along.

"Oh Allah, daughter-in-law, Mama" said Alia. He immediately hugged Fathia when welcoming the arrival of his car Aka. The woman did not think that the daughter-in-law was now two-bodied.
"You pregnant?"
Fathia smiled and nodded. "Grandchild, Mama!"
"Sorry, Mama, yes, son. My mom doesn't know this problem at all. Just yesterday Aka story," she cupped Fathia's cheek.
"You don't have to apologize, because you're not wrong!"
"Go in first yuk! Our daughter-in-law, Mah," asked Faris.
He led Fathia into the living room and sat down on the sofa. "What do you want to eat? Mama cooked a lot today!"
"Thank you very much, yes, Mah."
"Where is it, Mit?"
"Here, just walk here," replied Mita put Fathia's belongings she carried earlier from the toilet.
"How many months have you been together, son? ask Faris.
Fathia bowed and shook her head. " I don't know, Pah. It's probably been five months. Because since I was in prison I never checked," he replied.
"Later to go to the obstetrician in the hospital, yes," Aka asked to sit next to his wife.
"No, I'm ashamed! With my face still similar to Alodie's, I can't go out to face people."
Aka breathed a heavy sigh. That's right what his wife said. Conditions like this are very difficult for him now, because the real Alodie has appeared everywhere. People will be confused.
"Let the doctor come in here to check" Faris said. It turns out that he also felt the worry and thought of Aka and the daughter-in-law.
"This is in the first meal, yes" asked Alia to give a plate of rice containing side dishes and vegetables.
"I'm a bribe," added Aka.

Arriving at Alia's house, Ciara immediately hugged her best friend and insisted on apologizing for being too selfish and only thinking about her own feelings.
"I'm sorry I didn't listen to your explanation at the time." Ciara clasped Fathia's hands tightly.
"It's not your fault, I'm wrong to have covered up everything from you."
"You have reason to cover it up from me and ak-"
"Already, Ci. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Now I'm free and here. We'll tell stories again."
Ciara nodded in agreement rubbing her wet cheeks with the back of her hand. "You're a curusan now! Baby healthy?" Ciara gently rubbed Fathia's stomach.
"During my time in prison I never checked but, he must be healthy!"
"Hmm that Alodie knows you're pregnant?"
"No, Ma'am! I said the same, Ms. Fathia to hide her pregnancy during the trial," replied Mita.
"Why is that?" timpal.
"Kan Alodie and Galen are sometimes present, doctor. Fear later they even require the death penalty again for, Ms. Fathia because they know pregnant doctor's child."
Fathia shook her head as if she did not like what Mita said.
"I just want to protect our son, that's it."
"You rest, yeah. I'm the same, Mas Joe wants to go home first. Tomorrow come again." Ciara was about to leave because it was already night.
"Be careful, yeah, Ci!"
"Yes. Mit, you want to go home the same, Mommy or do you want to stay here?" ask her sister.
"We're here, I need him" Aka replied.
"Oh, okay. Then we go home first, bro," said Joe hugging Aka.

"Mas, I'm gonna take a shower. Can helpin?" ask Fathia.
Aka nodded. He prepared hot water for his wife's bath and chose a few change of clothes.
"I'm here to get his shirt." Seeing his wife who was a little troubled, Aka took the initiative to unzip Fathia's clothes.
Instantly Aka's eyeballs were perfectly rounded looking at that smooth white back full of bruises. "This why?"
"Aaww, sick, Mas. Don't hold it!" ringis Fathia's.
"Sorry, Honey. But your back why all the bruises?"
Fathia just smiled. "Dia, Mother. There it contains most bad people, yes surely people like me are the ingredients of their oppression. But not pa-pa, just a little pain."
Aka raised her head as if holding back the dam of her eyelids from spilling. "Later to finish taking a shower I'll take medicine."
Until the wife enters the bathroom, Aka drops herself on the floor. He truly could not hold back tears. His heart crumpled like in an invisible hand squeeze when he saw his female body battered like that.
His selfishness brought the cruelest torture to Fathia. He didn't think something like this would happen. If only from the beginning he listened to the wife and asked for more explanation, maybe now regret will not stab him this deep.
