I Can Without You

43. Messed

"Istighfar, Mother. Don't get emotional" Shofi said, rubbing Awan's arm, trying to ease her husband's emotions.

The Cloud Breath was still hunting with a face that was red with emotion.

"Mas" called Shofi softly, still wiping her husband's arm.

As if awakened, Awan then turned towards Shofi. Can Awan see the face of Shofi who looks depressed.

"Astaghfirullah hal adziim," said Awan, wiping his face with his palms.

Though earlier, Awan himself reminded Shofi to be able to control his emotions. But it is only now that the Cloud itself can not control its own emotions.

The clouds felt very angry as soon as they heard all the words from Alya earlier. Awan did not expect that Shofi turned out to be a victim of selfishness and cunning Alya also Bayu until it was like that. Clouds were angry, Clouds did not accept the woman he now loved so much it was necessary as it was.

"Sit down, Mas. Let the emotions ease," said Shofi gently.

The smiling cloud then sat back down again, followed by Shofi. Bayu threw his gaze to the side while grunting quietly. There was a dislike he felt seeing the intimacy of the Clouds with the Shofi.

'I never let go of him. At this time I can still feel all the warmth, affection, and feeling appreciated and respected like that, ' said Bayu.

Shofi held the hand of Awan who was holding his other hand on his lap at the moment. Strengthened her own heart with the support of her husband.

"Enough all that unimportant talk. Now I ask, what do you two mean come here?" shofi asked firmly.

Can Awan felt Shofi's hand tremble slightly in his grasp. Awan knows very well that at this time his wife must be trying to be as fresh as possible. The cloud then rubbed Shofi's hand he was holding with his thumb, channeling power to the woman he loved so much.

"As we said earlier, we came to ask for custody of Keinan properly. We want Keinan to stay with us" Alya replied.

Shofi rounded his eyes.

"What right do you have to ask for custody of Keinan? Especially you Alya. Who were you until you suddenly interfered and asked Keinan to stay with you?" shofi asked with a tone of voice that had gone up an octave.

"The court has decided clearly that Keinan's custody falls to me. And you also did not bother about it at all, did you first? Even during these four years you never care about Keinan at all. I also never once took the money you sent for Keinan living expenses, which you often entrust through your father and mother. Then why are you suddenly coming and asking for custody of Keinan? What right are you guys? All this time I raised Keinan with my own sweat, without any help from you. And now you come and want to take Keinan from me. You guys think? Where are your conscience?" shofi said at length, vaporizing all his strings.

The mood was silent for a moment. Bayu and Alya fell silent because they could not refute all Shofi's words earlier. While Awan continued to gently rub Shofi's hand which he held to strengthen his wife's heart.

"no need. Me and Mas Awan still able to give the best life for Keinan. Keinan doesn't need you, let alone Alya. And as you've heard yourself before, Keinan will also never want to stay with the two of you," Shofi refused still in a firm tone.

"Don't be selfish, Shofi. Bayu is also Keinan's father. Keinan's biological father. So he also has the right to dong Keinan," said Alya who joined the discussion.

The clouds are actually inflamed at this time. But as much as possible the Clouds chose to remain silent and not interfere first. As long as Shofi can still solve everything, Awan is just enough to be a supporter and encouragement for Shofi.

"Egois said you? If I'm selfish then what are you? Humans have no heart?" tanya Shofi sneered.

"Shofi, please understand. We have been married for almost five years and have not had any children. Now you are also married to Awan. You can have your own children later. So please allow Keinan to stay with us. Who knows, Keinan could also be a lure for Alya to get pregnant soon," said Bayu still trying to persuade.

The cloud became more and more inflamed hearing all the words of Alya and Bayu. Shofi could feel the clasping of Cloud's strengthened hand. Shofi glanced at her husband. Now it was Shofi's turn to gently wipe Awan's hand, trying to dampen her husband's emotions.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing we need to talk about anymore. Whatever your reasons, I once again reiterate that I will never hand over custody of Keinan to the two of you. I will never allow Keinan to stay together with the two of you" Shofi said once again.

"Shofi, you don't be so stubborn. We both have asked nicely this," upset Alya.

"Why am I so stubborn? It's up to me dong. Keinan. And all this time also I raised and cared for him, without the help of the two of you," said Shofi lightly.

"You??? Okay, you asked for it yourself. Because you do not want to give up Keinan custody properly, then do not blame us. We will pursue legal action and demand custody of Keinan through the court" Alya threatened.

Shofi again rounded his eyes. Shofi did not expect that Alya intended to take the matter into legal custody. It is still clear in Shofi's memory when he had to go in and out of the court office when he wanted to divorce Bayu and also fight for Keinan custody.

Shofi's body stiffened. He felt like he could feel how devastated he felt at that moment. It seems that Shofi is also still traumatized by all the long processes that are quite time consuming.

The clouds noticed Shofi's current unease. It is time for the Cloud to act now.

"Enough, Bayu, Alya. You have heard for yourself how the decision of Shofi as the birth mother of Keinan. So I ask you, now you two to leave this place. There's nothing more we need to talk about" said Awan, who eventually spoke up.

"But, Wan," said Bayu felt he still could not accept.

"Please, Bay. Shofi was already quite surprised by the sudden arrival of the two of you. Especially with your wish that sounds absurd. Please leave this place now. Next time we can discuss this issue again if you feel you are still not satisfied" said Awan again.

Bayu set out slowly. Bayu admitted that everything the Cloud said had a point. Finally with a heavy heart Bayu then saying goodbye and carrying Alya away leaving the cafe owned by Awan.
