"I never once forgot the advice of Father and Mother. Every piece of advice you have spoken has been recorded clearly in memory. But what I said was true. If you know Queensha is not good at carrying out her duties as a mother, why would I marry her. While we all know that I married her only because of Aurora, not because I love her," Ghani said, staring intently at the woman in front of her.
Queensha lowered her head and squeezed her finger tightly. It is undeniable that he was involved in this kidnapping incident because he could not keep Aurora well. Everyone entrusted the girl with round eyes to him.
Glared with annoyance at the firstborn. "Muhammad Ghani Hanan, don't talk to your wife! After all, she is your wife who you should take care of her feelings." Arumi was completely inexhaustible as to how Ghani could bear to say so in front of Queensha.
"But that's the truth, Bun. This woman does not deserve to be a mother. He ... can only bring misfortune to this family!" amuk Ghani sounded so furious that his chest was bloated.
"I've believed in him even marrying a woman I don't love at all, but what do I get? He only gave bad luck to Rora, Bun. She's a fucking carrier!"
Queensha was silent, neither refuting nor defending herself. All nicknames addressed to him, ready to be accepted. She deserves to be insulted by her husband.
But not for Arumi. The mother-of-four immediately slapped a hard slap on Ghani's right cheek so that the slap marks stuck in the man's face. While Rayyan only froze on the spot, letting the wife vent her frustration to their eldest son.
"Never say that to Queensha, Ghani! Mother and Father never taught you to be unkind to your wife!"
Ghani. He swallowed his own saliva with great difficulty. Indeed, his words just now have hurt the feelings of a woman who consecrated as his wife. However, it would not be natural for him to do that just for the sake of channeling how disappointed he was towards Queensha.
The pain of being hit by the slap that the mother delivered was not worth the pain of seeing her beloved daughter lying weak, unconscious on the bed. It is true that Aurora is not her daughter, but the affection for the little girl is like the affection of a father for his own biological child.
Rayyan took a few steps forward, touching Arumi's shoulder slowly. "Patience, Bun. Not because of emotions, you can hurt your own flesh and blood. Remember, how you struggled to get pregnant. And now that you've been entrusted by God to give birth, you're hurting your own child's feelings" he said, trying to calm his wife.
Arumi's breath was still fiercely wheezing as the burly palm touched the surface of the skin. The patience that had been held back was finally unstoppable.
"You better get out, let me talk to Ghani." Then Rayyan looked coldly at the son-in-law who had just bowed his head to look at the shadow of himself on the floor. "Queensha, please accompany my wife outside for a moment. Before I finish talking to your husband, don't leave him even for a moment."
Queensha nodded obediently. "Come on, Bun, we're out now."
"Yes, we better get out of here. Mother feels stuffy when constantly close to the husband who never appreciates the feelings of his wife." Arumi stepped gontai closer to the door leaf with Queensha slowly wiping it. The two women left the room and made room for Ghani and Rayyan to speak from heart to heart.
Until the door of the room was tightly closed, Rayyan opened her voice again. "You and I need to talk seriously!" hiss the man to his eldest son.
Still touching the hot cheek, Ghani replied, "Okay, Dad. I get it." Nodding obediently to the father. Know after this will be lectured all out for hurting the feelings of a woman. Though Rayyan always warned her son not to hurt the physical and heart of women in the family of Wijaya Kusuma. Pamali's law!
"Sit down!" rayyan's orders were firm.
According to what the father ordered, Ghani sat down to pull the chair next to Aurora's bed.
"In order not to hurt the feelings of Mother, my sister, my son and my wife if in the future I and Zavier get married" Ghani said before Rayyan finished his speech.
"I know about it, Dad. Without Dad or Mommy telling me, I already know. As a true man, we abstain from speaking rudely or committing acts of violence to the Eve in the family of Wijaya Kusuma. However, I can't control myself if this netraku sees Queensha's face. I imagine how much Rora suffered while being held captive by Ms and Stepmother Queensha" Ghani began to recount.
The two narrow eyes were wide open to hear Ghani's words. "So you mean, my granddaughter just got kidnapped. That so?"
Nodding fast. "Yes, Dad. The kidnapper demanded a ransom of one hundred million rupiah. Queensha used some of the savings from the account I gave him. I purposely gave him my ATM card and bankbook as my living. However, he used the money to redeem Rora."
Sighing deeply and heavily, then gazing pusher at the figure of the little girl who was still faithfully asleep in the bed. "I don't really care about the money Queensha uses, it's just that I feel unappreciated as a husband. Our marriage was not based on love, but that doesn't mean she can act as she pleases without involving me, Dad."
"I was angry because as the head of the family I felt unappreciated by my own wife. Had he told me about Rora being kidnapped, I would have thrown them in jail."
Rayyan massaged her temple while shaking her head, recalling the incident thirty-one years ago when she scolded Arumi for letting another man into their apartment without first asking her permission. Although Arumi was not alone at home because of their domestic assistant, Rayyan still felt his presence was not considered by his wife.
"Dad can understand why you are so angry. Feeling that our presence is not considered by the wife is painful, I have felt what you feel now."
Ghani turned her gaze to the handsome man whose hair was starting to silvery. "I mean Dad, how?" tanyanya.
Arumi and Rayyan have never told us in detail about their past. Just telling me that the mother was betrayed by her husband and her own best friend just because she was not yet pregnant. However, for the problem of Mahesa who had been in a coma due to an accident, Nayla who was admitted to the mental hospital and Kayla who was declared infertile because her uterus was removed, they decided to shut up because for married couples, they had to keep their mouths shut, it is a disgrace that should not be exposed to others.
Let only them as well as Rini and Rio know. Triplet, Shaka and Shakeela, don't need to know about it.
"First, at the beginning of our marriage, your mother had made the mistake of putting a man into an apartment without asking permission first to father. At that time I was angry because I felt that I was not considered by your mother. Until father says rudely, raise the tone of voice in front of your mother. That's all you do because you don't want that man to hurt your mother for the umpteenth time."
Ghani's forehead shriveled until it showed fine wrinkles there. Trying to guess who the man the father was talking about. However, the next second he began to suspect if the person was the Son, the former father-in-law of his beloved mother.
"Then, what did you do to Mother?"
Rayyan gave a quick glance to her eldest son and then leaned back on the sofa sandarana. "Father silenced your Mother for a few days, hoping that your Mother would come to her senses and be deterred, not repeating the same mistake."
"However, I realize that you should not do such a thing to your mother. If indeed our wife is wrong, it can be well advised without the need to use violence let alone to hurt the feelings of the woman we love." Rayyan patted Ghani on the shoulder and again said, "There are many ways to advise them without having to take out a vein."
"And as for your troubles with Queensha, I hope you have no regrets for being rude to her. Even if he's wrong, it's not appropriate for you to say that to Queensha. That's all I can tell you. Whether you take my advice or not is your business. However, I hope you will never regret it in the future."
