Maze of Grief
CHAPTER 13
When Malik and Ghea were still busy looking at the baby who was sleeping in his dream world, Malik suddenly rang.
He glanced at his phone and it was Andra who called. Malik was convinced there was something urgent so his assistant called him.
"I picked up the phone from Andra and I was afraid that something was important" Malik came out of the room leaving Ghema and Ghea.
Ghea just nodded in response to the words of her former forbidden love.
"Why Ndra?" Ask Malik after answering his phone.
"Mr Hadi is waiting for you in the office now, I hope you come here soon" Andra explained to her boss.
"Papa?" In office?" He muttered in a small voice but still heard in Andra's ear.
"Yes sir."
"All right, I'll be right back in the office." Malik immediately cut off his voice connection with the assistant.
"Ghea I have to go back to the office papa is waiting for me" said Malik who has re-joined Ghea and Ghema.
"Yes, I'll take you to the front."
Ghea and Malik walked together towards the main door.
"Be careful on the street."
"Even you still care about me Ghea" said Malik.
Malik just nodded while giving his sweetest smile to the woman who once filled his days.
---------
Malik who was on his way back to Darma Corp looked puzzled.
"Why did you suddenly go to the office?"
Do not want to expect a no-no he increased the speed of his car.
----------
Arriving at Darma Corp Malik immediately rushed towards his room.
But when he opened the door of his room, he did not find the figure of the papa in it.
He went to Andra's room, which was not far from his room.
"Where's papa's hydra?" Malik, without permission, entered Andra's room.
"She waited too long so she went home" replied Andra.
"Going home? Home where? Main house or my house?" Malik looked agitated, why did the papa seem so eager to meet him.
"Your house is sir."
Hearing Andra's words, Malik immediately rushed to leave Darma Corp.
----------
"Assalamu alaikum" Hadi greeted him as his son-in-law welcomed his arrival.
"Waalaikum hail pa, let's go in first."
Bina led Hadi to sit in the living room.
"Bina to the kitchen first well pah, papa want coffee or tea?" Ask Bina to her father-in-law.
"White water Bin, papa's head quail if you keep drinking coffee."
"Good reward" Bina passed into the kitchen leaving the in-laws.
"This is a reward" Bina placed a large glass of water in front of the in-laws.
"Where is Bin?" Ask Papa Hadi.
Bina glanced at the wall clock "It's only 2 p.m., Mas Malik is still in the office."
"Father from the office said Andra she's gone since ishoma's time."
"Maybe Mas Malik has needs beyond reward."
Bina tried to calm Papa Hadi down because the middle-aged man looked uneasy.
Not long after the ears of Papa Hadi and Bina caught the sound of the roar of the car engine.
"Papa?" Malik greeted his papa regardless of Bina.
"Where are you from Malik?"
"Malik from a routine visit at the Orphanage of Perpetual Charity pah."
The honesty that Malik uttered made Papa Hadi angry. He's so sorry for what Malik did there. And who Malik is with.
Papa Hadi got up from his seat, clenched his hands to prevent his emotions from stirring.
"With that cheap girl?" Ask Papa Hadi in a mocking tone.
"Quite the reward, Ghea is an honorable woman not a cheap woman as you think" Malik's emotions were provoked.
"She's a married woman, papa remind me if you forget."
"Enough reward, don't despise Ghea" Malik puts emphasis on every word that comes out of his mouth.
Papa Hadi was about to slap Malik but Bina got up and protected Malik from Papa Hadi's slap.
PLAQUE---
Papa Hadi's hard slap landed on Bina's smooth white cheek.
Papa Hadi was surprised by Bina's action, and Malik just kept his mouth riveted.
"What are you doing, son?"
"Papa don't be like this with Mas Malik" Bina tried to defend her husband.
"Papa, Mas Malik was once in a forbidden relationship with Ghea but it's over."
"You know about the affair the child doesn't know this lucky?" Papa Hadi's emotions are somewhat decreased when dealing with his daughter-in-law.
"Mas Malik papa's son, he's my husband please control your emotions."
"Bina papa can be the same as you?" Papa Hadi invited Bina to sit next to him.
Malik moved, sitting in front of his wife and father.
"What kind of building has Malik been treating you like a wife?"
The question elicited a different reaction between Malik and Bina.
Malik was afraid that Bina would complain about all his cruel deeds. And Bina she's sick of remembering all Malik's cruel deeds to her.
But Bina gave a thread-thin smile while nodding her head at her husband. She seemed to signal to her husband not to worry about everything.
"Mas Malik is very good with Bina pah, Alhamdulillah Mas Malik has been able to accept me, accept this matchmaking."
Bina's words were refuted when Papa Hadi accidentally saw a bruise on her daughter-in-law's wrist.
But Papa Hadi decided to trust Bina, the bruised affair in his hands he was sure it was the work of his son.
"Papa wants to talk a little while with Malik, you rest well" Papa Hadi rubbed his daughter-in-law's head and gave a kiss at the top of Bina's head.
After Bina left them, Papa Hadi got up from his seat and coded Malik to follow her.
But Bina's voice calls stopped Papa Hadi and Malik's steps. The two turned around and looked at Bina.
"Control papa's emotions, don't hurt her husband Bina."
Papa Hadi smiled and left Bina, Malik followed the papa.
----------
This is where Malik and Papa Hadi are at the Rainbow Cafe.
They sat at the wrong table in the corner of the cafe.
After ordering a drink Papa Hadi opened the conversation.
"So you see there's a bruise on both of Bina's hands?"
Malik was silent, to be honest Malik's heart began to waver when he saw Bina's defense against him.
"Bina is the only daughter of Abi Afnan and Umm Aisya, they are very dear to Bina. Since childhood, his parents devoted their love to him. The best is always given to him."
"Imagine if Ghema was treated like Bina would you be able to?"
Papa Hadi's question made Malik raise his head that had been bowed.
Malik was speechless he just shook his head.
"Ghema is only your adopted son with Ghea then you and Ghea only doctrinalize Ghema so that one day, when he grew up he called you and Ghea papa and mama. You and Ghea have a huge sense of empathy for that poor baby who was dumped at birth by both parents."
"You gave her excess affection and even gave her your name."
"You can't have him hurting when he's not your flesh and blood."
"Bina is the flesh and blood of Abi Afnan and Umm Aisya, you can imagine the destruction of their feelings if you know how you treat their favorite children."
Malik silent. Malik.
Until an acoustic live performance switches the minds of Malik and Papa Hadi.
*Misjudged me
Maybe you always guessed
I never understood you
You're always suspicious
There are others and I love you
Don't you misjudge me
With all this silence
Deep down inside my heart
Beautifully engraved etched your name
Honey why still
You doubt my love
Sincerity of my heart
I present it only to you
Honey if you could
Seeing my heart
You'll realize
My bet loves you so much*
"The taste of the song just now is enough to describe the taste of Bina towards you" Papa Hadi said when the song's chant stopped.
"Meet Bina, ask for forgiveness for everything you've done to her."
"Will he forgive me? I didn't just hurt him by birth but also bathin?" Now Malik began to open his mouth after silent hearing the babbling of his father.
"Bina a good boy, you hurt him but he keeps his body up to protect you."
"Ghea has fixed her relationship with Haris, now it's your turn to start building a harmonious family with Bina."
Fight Malik Ibrahim You must be forgiven for sins against your wife Sabrina Magfirah.
