Hold on or let go!

The 196 eps

"What are you about my son Alby?", asked Lek Sarman.

Alby gets up wanting to greet Sarman, but Sarman rejects him. Shouldn't be that, should you? Unfortunately, as a father he was really disappointed. Although it's not entirely Alby's fault that he did. That's because it's also because of the actions of an arrogant human named Hartama who is not self-knowing, ungrateful.

"Sorry lek. Alby knew Alby was wrong. Maybe Lek Sarman will never be able to forgive all Alby's mistakes with Bia."

"That's you know, why are you still putting your face here? Pardon me! I don't want to hate you, but it doesn't mean I've forgiven you."

"Yes lek. But ...Alby's just here to give up Bia's rights", Alby put the map on the table. Fearfully, when he handed over the map, he would again accept rejection.

"Bia's Rights? What's?"

"He is one of the shareholders in the HS group. Inevitably, we'll get back involved Lek. Even if only partners are at work."

Lek Sarman flinch, he can't stop thinking if Hartama really did what he said before.

"Alby said to Lek, please.jaga Bia, Lek. Although we have nothing to do anymore, but...Alby still loves Bia."

"Save your loving words, By. Say the word to the woman who is already your wife, not your ex-wife", Sarman's lek voice has begun to slow down. Nothing like that was stirring.

"Alby is still trying to be a good husband and father. Alby doesn't want to fail again."

Sarman was silent on the spot. At the bottom of his heart he is also dear to Alby. Alby's been thinking of Alby as his own son, not his nephew's son-in-law. Because of Alby, Bia began to cheer up after breaking up from Febri first. The man Bia brought met her directly to ask her.

Unfortunately, that was before. Everything has changed. If he was in Alby's position, not necessarily he could still be as strong as Alby.

"Lek, once again sorry Alby ya lek!", Alby grabbed the back of the middle-aged man's hand. This time there was no rejection from Lek Sarman.

"Alby back to lek. Today we have to go back to Jakarta again. Assalamualaikum."

"Yes, walaikumsalam."

Alby's back slowly looked away. Sarman's headed to his house. On the terrace, his nephew was bowed by holding both knees.

"Mother?", lek Sarman sat beside me. I raised my head and looked at the way Lek Sarman was sitting.

"Lek, how can Bia be sincere? How can Bia hate Alby lek? Hows it? Hicks ...hiks ..hiks ..!"

Lek Sarman grabbed me in his arms. He rubbed my head.

"Slow down just nduk. God willing, you will be sincere by yourself. Lek is also learning to forgive Alby. You are the one who is hurt."

I shut up and loosened my arms.

"Laws!"

"Hum?"

"Formerly, mother married father Anton after the Iddah mas mother finished huh?", asked me.

Lek Sarman furrowed his brows. Maybe he wondered why he asked so suddenly? Then why ask him? Why not ask the concerned?

"You can ask your mother!"

I'm shaking.

"I want to know, how did Lek Sarman feel when lek Sarman's sister-in-law married again when Lek Sarman's sister had not died long ago?"

I wiped my tears.

"At first disappointed, but after lek received an explanation and indeed that was your father's trust, lek accept it. After all, who lived your mother, your father has been mengikhlaskan from far away. Because they are not an affair partner like the people who promote up to the ears of the village neighbors. Moreover, his mother is your ex."

I'm nodding.

"So now, you can see for yourself right? Your lek's still on good terms with them?"

"Yes lek. And that means..why can I learn as lek, how can Bia also be on good terms with Bia's ex-husband and his family?", I asked while occasionally opening my eyes.

Lek Sarman looked at me.

I nodded thinly.

"Do you want to accept Febri?", asked Lek Sarman.

I don't know, I don't know my own feelings. Once, it was clear that one day I would be in a relationship with Febri if I could feel the happiness like I used to. But it was just a fleeting thought, not to the point of being a priority that I had to think through carefully.

"Mother?"

"Human? Sorry lek."

"Lah's dumb!"

I grinned like that. Confused about what to answer?!

"You want to try to open your heart again for Febri? Seems like he's serious?"

"For the moment it's not yet lek!"

"Oh, when you ask your mother to marry after the end of Iddah, you want to join her rich. Marry Febri."

"Ohuk..uhuk..."

I choked on my own saliva.

"kok even coughs!", lek Sarman bobble his head.

"Lha, lek Sarman says rich!"

"What's the matter?", asked Lek Sarman.

"Directly marry Mas Febri!", I said. Lek Dar who had just entered the courtyard heard Bia's glance just scrunched his forehead.

That uncle of his nephew is serious? Bia want to marry Febri??? But unfortunately Lek Dar just keeps to his coco in the heart. Don't want to interfere, if not talked to it.

Me and Lek Sarman are aware of Lek Dar's presence.

"Wes on maem urung?", asked Lek Dar to us.

"Not yet!", said I and lek Sarman. Lek Dar smiled.

"Kompak really!", said lek Dar. I followed Lek Dar who started to enter the house. Soon after, Lek Sarman did the same.

Elsewhere, Hartama who had begun to recover was slowly learning to walk assisted by Titin.

"You're tired, don't force it!"

"What's wrong. I'm fine!"

Hartama walked in auxiliary with his crutches.

The old man sat in his chair. He began to check again the affairs of his work that he had given to Alby.

His son-in-law still refused to replace the position of Managing Director in the HS group. I don't know what the reason is!

"I came out first!", said Titin.

Hartama. He opened his desk drawer. Looking for something in an old book.

After retrieving the book, he opened a photo stored there. There is a picture of him with the late Salman. His best friend and father of Bia, the woman he had hurt.

I need to be healthy soon! I must be healed! I have to apologize to Bia. Even if you have to sit at his feet!
