HUSBAND'S HEART

part 59 RED THREAD KNOT (3)

Three days of Yuana's departure to the village, did not make Ilham broken charcoal. He considered this a good opportunity to launch his plan.

Yuana's factory renovation can be said to have been completed. The construction of his office also stayed the finishing stage. Ilam smiled satisfied to see the end result.

"It would definitely be a sweet surprise for Yuana," murmured Ilham while shaking her waist in the front yard of her new office.

"I think Mr. Ilham is very romantic and loving, if only Mr. Ilham who became the husband of the lady" said Mr. Samuel who stood not far from Ilham.

"Miss? Did you mean Mr Samuel, Yuana?"

"Hehe... I'm sorry, I was wondering" Mr. Samuel scoffed because he felt slurred.

"Sir... Has Yuana been happy with her marriage?"

Inspiration put both hands into the pocket of pants, looking up to see the person who was installing a neon box.

"Happy is relative, sir. Because it's a matter of the heart. Amar is a kind, dedicated, responsible person. The company grew even more after Amar joined. So Mr. Bram can entrust his daughter to Amar. But somehow, after marriage, Amar was like a confused person. It doesn't seem ready for a house or anything. Performance decreases, customers who have been handled by him seem to disappear somewhere, then calamity also comes and goes. Until finally like now. According to Mr. Ilham, is Yuana happy?"

The usual question now sounded painful when Mr. Samuel asked him. Tightness and pain like being pinched is very felt in his chest. Because he was very sure that Yuana had been unhappy all this time. And it hurt her heart.

And the most painful thing for Inspiration was that she felt a part in Yuana's unhappiness.

Inspiration did not answer a question from Mr. Samuel, instead walked into the lobby of his office while bowing his head.

"The spirit of young struggle" muttered Mr. Samuel as he followed the path of Inspiration.

Mr. Samuel who had been very close to the family of Bram Suseno, the family of Yuana, could feel that Ilham kept the taste of the great lady.

For people who already consider Yuana as their own child, Mr. Samuel must have hope that Yuana can live happily. And it seemed that hope he could hang on to someone named Ilham, who was now sitting with him in the lobby of the new Ilham office. Enjoy a freshly delivered lunch from a catering house.

It is not that Ilham did not know that Mr. Samuel had been looking at him. He also knew why Samuel was acting this way. And he prefers to enjoy his lunch without saying much.

"Did Mr Ilham love Yuana?"

Ilham rubbed his lips with a piece of tissue, then took the mineral water in the bottle, opened and gulped it down slowly. It was obvious that he was enjoying his lunch. Unperturbed by Mr. Samuel's attitude and questions.

"I'm sorry... Not that I want to interfere... I just want to make sure that Yuana is in good hands."

"According to Mr. Samuel's observations, do I love Yuana?"

"Yes... Mr. Ilham looks very in love with Yuana. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for this project to work."

"Honestly, I do love Yuana. My love is far greater and deeper than Mr. Samuel could have imagined."

Mr. Samuel scrunched his forehead, trying to examine the sentence spoken by Inspiration.

"Isn't the greatest love when we're willing to let go so that he's happy?" continued Ilham later.

And Samuel gasped, remembering Amar's words the day before his wedding.

"Who wouldn't fall in love with Non Yuana, sir. I am too. But there's a lot better and deserved than me."

"Don't tell that young doctor, or what you call that secret admirer, Mar. Don't hallucinate too much. I know you may be inferior, but Mr. Bram has chosen you. That means you're the one who deserves Non Yuana. Remember, there is no father who does not want his daughter to have a chosen man as her leader. And that, you."

"If Mr. Samuel knew what was behind Mr. Bram forcing me to marry Non Yuana, you wouldn't say that."

"Already..stop your bullshit! You've accepted Mr. Bram's request, don't back down. Men abstain from licking their own spit."

Mr. Samuel still vividly remembers Amar's doubts ahead of his marriage, though he does not know exactly why. In fact, which fool refuses if betrothed to his own boss's daughter.

He once thought that Amar was just a pretender. Originally excited but pretending to object. Actually likes Yuana but the prestige admits, so on behalf of the secret admirer every give something romantic.

"Did Pak Ilham know the late Amar before?"

"Yes, Amar is my only friend."

"Why didn't Mr Ilham come when they got married?"

"Because I wasn't invited. Already, we'll see in the back, is everything in order."

"Sir Ilham... I ask for help on one thing. Please keep Yuana away from the man named Joseph, that's a message from Mr. Bram."

The inspiration, which had taken a few steps, stopped and turned to Samuel who was still sitting looking at him.

"Joseph... Wijaya?"

One of the names of Joseph who Ilham knew and often tried to see Yuana was Joseph's doctor. But Inspiration must ascertain whether he was meant by Mr. Samuel.

What happened to Dr. Joseph? What was Joseph's real relationship with Yuana? Why did Yuana's parents tell her to keep her daughter away from Joseph's doctor? Something must be wrong.

"What's really going on? I know Joseph used to see Yuana, but I'm sure Yuana can handle it. What's there to fear?"

Ilham tried to pry information other than the fact that he knew that indeed the doctor Yusuf was a little obsessed with Yuana, but Yuana also repeatedly refused firmly and tried to always avoid.

"Just take care of Yuana, just keep it away from the person whose name is Joseph. Especially until they get married, haram said Mr. Bram."

"Haram?"

"Yes, haram said. Mr. Ilham should know better than me about it."

"Is it because of religious differences?"

"Ah... Don't know it. It doesn't seem to be just about religion, there's something else I don't know, but it looks like Amar knows."

"And therefore Mr Bram can only entrust Yuana to Amar?"

"Frightly so."

What is it, Ilham felt he had to find out so that he could determine how to deal with the problems associated between Yuana and Joseph's doctor.

Inspiration did not extend his conversation with Mr. Samuel, though he was busy in his mind thinking about whom he should seek information. The closest person to Amar! Her mother's. Yes, he must immediately meet Bu Aminah, Amar's mother. Or, Kyai Marzuki, who married Amar and Yuana.

It looks like some craftsmen are cleaning their equipment, a sign that their main work is finished. Stay tidying up and cleaning room by room before workers who want to organize the room start working.

"Sir Ilham can entrust supervision to me only, so Mr. Ilham can leave immediately," Mr. Samuel who could feel the restlessness of Inspiration offered to continue the supervision.

"Hahaha, with pleasure," he joked at seeing Ilham ask as well while laughing.

"Then I stay, sir. There's a much more important task now."

"Yes yes."

Ilham rushed to his car while contacting Arief.

"Rief, you still have Amar and Yuana's data?"

"..."

"Okay, just send me an email, now."

In the main house of the Haikal family.

"Tumben's just going to the factory, Nis?"

"Yes, Umrah. Today the machine is not operating. Warehouse is packing for last shipment, there is Pak Hadi same Arief. The raw materials are coming in tomorrow. Aaaa... I can finally relax all day."

"This month Zein hasn't been here, Nis. No problem, right?"

"No problem, Ummah. Brother Zein has now started busy research. Pray well, Ummah."

"Yes, ummah pray for the smoothness of his research. All children and grandchildren must be ummah pray one by one, ummah call his name one, no one is missed."

"Ummah is indeed the best" Annisa sincerely praised her mother.

At this time Ms. Fatma and Annisa were sitting on the carpet, accompanying Azyan who was playing with Norish. I don't know what story is being acted, which is clear Norish can laugh to see his brother playing the hand puppet.

"Now Mas Ilham looks different, Ummah. This morning we stopped by the factory, like that."

"How does that mean?"

"How is it? Yeah, just look at it better."

"Perhaps because your mas has found a patch of heart that was lost," Ms. Fatma said casually but made Annisa turn her head towards her mother who looked radiant in Annisa's view.

"Seriously, Ummah?! That mysterious girl actually met?"

Answered a glance and nod by Ms. Fatma.

"Who, Umah? Wh who? Have you met me in person?"

"Even, ummah often meet. You know me too."

"Nisa's familiar? Emm... Wh who? Like Nisa knows, no one likes it. During this time Mas Ilham has always been indifferent the same name as women. No, Nisa must be unfamiliar. Who the hell is it, Ummah?"

"Yuana."

"Yuana!? No way," Annisa shook her head, not believing that the little girl who made Ilham used to be completely uninterested in any girl was Yuana.

Because the attitude of Inspiration so far looks ordinary, yes it is not as cold as usual but it is also not as warm as people who love. Yuana was also ordinary and even tended to be shy and afraid of Inspiration.

"No way, Ummah. Yesterday Yuana had a story, if Mas Ilham's speech was not serious, just to stop the jealousy of Mbak Ratna alone."

"Yes because Yuana did not know, not even know at all before with Ilham. All this time, your mas can only love in silence," with a wistful Mom Fatma trying to explain, "try to imagine what Ilham's feelings have been like."

"Nisa doesn't believe it at all, Ummah. Mas Ilham will just talk, or say the same Abah or Ummah, it must be applied. Why must the mysterious pretentious, use the show to love in silence, so it damages itself right? So when you do, finally Yuana married Mas Amar. Is this a fool or what?"

"Hush, don't be rude."

"Wait... Dr Yusuf's trus?"

"What is the same with Joseph?"

"Doctor Yusuf was obsessed with Yuana, Ummah. Ummah still want not, when the doctor Yusuf was heartbroken because his proposal was rejected? Yes, it was Yuana's parents, Ummah, who rejected Joseph's doctor outright. Duuuh, how's this, Ummah?"

"How's what?"

"Yes what if Mas Ilham and Joseph's doctor fought over Yuana, Ummah. A doctor competes with his patients, so what will his patients be, will he survive?"

Ms. Fatma hit Annisa on the shoulder because she was upset to hear the thought of her daughter, "most watch this soap opera of yours."

At the same time, Ilham pulled over his car because he had to open an email sent by Arief. He tried to look at every information he got, but found no irregularities at all in the documents.

Ilham leaned his head, recalling every piece of memories and memories of Yuana in the past. He who likes to watch Yuana from a distance, accompanied by Amar of course, knows a little about Yuana.

Parents who are very affectionate and tend to be overprotective make Yuana less sociable, just like her. Is because Yuana is an only child, the only successor of the company that her parents pioneered, almost the same as her. But, marrying Yuana to Amar? Just to keep Yuana away from Joseph's doctor?

To a businessman, what Yuana's parents did was very unreasonable, too careless. Married Yuana, the sole heir to the one who had no control over the business. Amar who has not even a year become an assistant to Mr. Bram, whose even progress in performance was supported by Ilham from behind.

Unless there's a big thing or underlying principle. But what is it?

"Kiyai Marzuki!" imham exclaimed while starting the car engine to rush to the boarding school.

It takes almost twenty minutes to sit opposite Kyai Marzuki. But having to wait for the completion of the Ashar prayer congregation can only talk about what Ilham wants to know.

"Actually we can't unlock the big secrets about Yuana. But now there's no one who can protect Yuana but you, so we think you should know."

"Big secret?"

"Yes, there's a big secret that even Yuana herself doesn't know. A secret that could endanger his life if it is known to the person who is after him. We hope that after knowing this, you can take good care of Yuana."

Ilham tried to listen well to the narration of Kyai Marzuki and his wife, it is surprising to know Yuana's complicated background. But it did not diminish the feeling of Inspiration to Yuana. Precisely the sense of wanting to protect the increasingly dusty. The feeling of annoyance and anger at Amar was slowly disappearing, along with the opening of the reason for the marriage.

"The marriage of Amar and Yuana is done here, I myself am married. Not as a guardian but as a judge. There was no fancy reception, only a wedding ceremony attended by Amar's family and the boarding school."

"I understand, Kyai. But are there any authentic documents or evidence on this?"

"Try asking Bu Aminah, where Amar keeps an old stopmap knotted with red thread. Since it is Yuana's original document, keep it in good order. I hope you can hasten what needs to be hastened."

Gaining the trust of Kyai Marzuki is like an injection of hope for Ilham to immediately propose Yuana, so that he can also protect Yuana completely.
