I Love You, Mother Teacher

The Part 50

Mr. Chandra, who heard the news of Ary's disappearance in Sumatra waters, immediately mobilized trusted people to search for his former son-in-law. For Mr. Chandra, the discovery of Ary is the most important thing. Mr. Chandra and his wife already regard Ary as their own son.

Not yet met the favorite child, now Mr. Chandra has heard the news that, Ary's husband entered the hospital because of a heart attack. Mr. Chandra and his wife, Hotmaida, immediately went to Jogja without asking where Alex was being treated.

"Where's the fuck now?" nathan asked when his grandfather called.

"Alright, Nathan wait here then. Soon Nathan will also leave for Semarang," said Nathan after hearing the answer from his adoptive grandfather.

Not for an hour, Mr. Chandra and his wife arrived at Ary's clinic. Without waiting for long, they headed straight for Semarang.

Three hours later, they reach the hospital where Alex is being treated. Shofie immediately hugged the grandmother, shedding her tears.

The white-haired woman all rubbed the grandchild's back with her wrinkled hands. To relieve the cries of his favorite grandson.

"It has. Now show me where your father's room is being treated!"

Shofie nodded as she walked towards the father's room. They entered the room where Alex was being treated.

Alex who heard the sound of steps entering his room immediately turned towards the door that Shofie had just opened. Following behind him, Mr. Chandra, Hotmaida's mother and Nathan.

Alex seemed surprised to see the arrival of people he did not want. He felt embarrassed because both of Rendy's deceased parents came at a time when he was not okay. He used to avoid visiting his wife and children.

"How are you doing?" ask the seventy-eight year old man.

"Ba-ik," replied Alex stammered as he could not speak fluently as usual.

Alex could only lie down without being able to move his limbs. His words were even stamped because his tongue was still stiff. Only the right hand can be moved slowly, to move to a sleeping position only he cannot.

Shofie shed tears looking at the father's reddened face, between anger and shame.

"Shofie, where's your husband? Ompung wants to get acquainted with him," asked Hotmaida's mother to distract him because she felt Alex did not like their arrival.

"Still in school, Pung. Today's the release event of graduating students. Maybe it'll be here soon, he said after school" Shofie replied clearly.

The four of them were sitting on the sofa in the room. They chose to talk about the youngest Kusuma Wijaya.

Ary's ex-husband's parents asked about Shofie and her husband's work. In addition, they also asked Nathan and Nicholas' current lecture. Not only that, what plans they will do was not spared the question of the ogre.

Shofie explained about the job he really liked, which was to become an educator like his late grandfather and grandmother from his mother. The ideal of becoming a teacher is not because of the inheritance of the father's parents, but because of the social spirit that is passed down from the mother's family.

Ary's good qualities are much decreased in his three children, even though their faces are a duplicate of Alex. It's only natural that they are closer to Ary and his family than to Alex's.

"Yank?" raka asked confusedly looking at the stranger in the room.

"Fuck, this is my husband. Raka, this is ompung from North Sumatra," said Shofie who understood the direction of the husband's question.

Suddenly, the two elderly laughed at the same time when they saw Raka who was still wearing a gray uniform.

Shofie and Raka were confused to see the grandfather and grandmother suddenly laughing, as if something was funny. The young couple looked at each other question marks.

"Mommy said, mommy's story repeated to you! These two ogungs are the parents of mommy's first husband. The tomb that we often visit in the Kaliurang area is the first husband of mommy, the son of Ompung Chandra and Ompung Hotmaida," nathan knew his mother's past before marrying his father.

"Mommy's first husband is five years younger. Same difference you guys, mommy married Rendy's father when both were equally successful. You were married when Raka was still pioneering," Nathan continued with a fluffy smile.

Shofie and Raka's faces flushed in embarrassment. Getting married at a young age and having too many problems. The blessing problem alone was difficult for them to get, while Ary and Rendy both got the blessing, only their soul mate only briefly.

"Married young is better than delaying marriage but having sex. Just indulging in sheer lust. Finally only got sin," said Mr. Chandra pacified his grandchildren.

Alex who heard Mr. Chandra's words immediately shed tears of regret. His life had been just indulging in lust without thinking about the consequences arising from the act. The man who was no longer young was crying so much that his voice was heard by those sitting on the sofa.

"Dad's? Daddy why?" shofie asked frantically, she immediately approached the father.

"Sister Nathan, please check on daddy! Why is it crying all of a sudden?" shofie yelled at her sister.

Mr. Chandra and Hotmaida's mother stood up to Alex who was still crying. Until finally, Raka called the doctor who handled the father-in-law.

Nathan checks on his father until a doctor and a nurse come to check on Alex.

"Ma-aaf...."
