My husband, my brother-in-law

equitable punishment

"Give way!!". Shouted Diandra who saw some people were about to scuttle Melisa's steps. He could not risk his son's safety.

"Let go of my son mbak.don't hurt him". Please Diandra.

" You've already occupied the place that should be mine. And it's all because of this kid, isn't it?!". Diandra smothered her mouth as Melisa shook Gaara's tiny body until the baby's cry filled the entire meeting room.

"I don't care. If you want Abi then I'll hand him over". Abi glared at Diandra hearing as easily as it was to turn himself in.

"Let go of my son!! Or I'll make you regret it!!". Diandra was inflamed, he would not let Melisa get any more willing.

" Stop!! Or I will completely eliminate him!!". Threaten Melisa when Diandra starts to approach.

"Quiet In..Gaara's gonna be fine". Abi tried to calm down even though he was actually very worried himself.

" Come on om.we're out". Mr. Priyo smiled pompously, but the smile receded when some police officers had already blocked the door.

"Make them get out!!". Diandra yelled again as Melisa opened the door to the balcony of the meeting room and let Gaara's body float in the air.

" You are crazy!!! Release my son!!!". Shouted Diandra with tears.

"I'll let you go, but give me my son back". Diandra can no longer bully, her son's life is at stake.

" I beg you, mbak.." Lirih Diandra already in Abi's arms. He did not even refuse when Abi hugged him. All he had in mind was Gaara and Gaara.

"Looks like seeing your destruction for the second time was fun.." Melisa took off one of her hands, put together two tiny arms of Gaara and held them with one hand.

Without thinking twice, Diandra ran over Melisa and grabbed Gaara's body. It worked! But her unbalanced body was easily pushed by Melisa.

Everyone screamed and shouted at the terrifying scene that was happening before them. Diandra survived by holding on to the side of the balcony with one hand, while the other hand he used to hold Gaara's body that had been crying since.

"Defend dear.." Diandra's whisper followed her sobs. Failing to protect Gaara.

Her hand felt sore, apparently Melisa had stepped on her hand before police officers secured her. The right hand he used to support his body and Gaara grew weaker. He closed his eyes when he could no longer bear the weight of his body.

"Darling.." Diandra opened her eyes, and immediately met the sharp eyes of her husband who was also dewy.

"Defend In.I beg you.." Abi holds Diandra's hand firmly.

"Gaara.save Gaara mas". Diandra

" Don't let him fall.." Diandra increasingly tighten his deck.

"You won't fall either.I promise". Alvin who realized from his surprise immediately helped Abi assisted some staff who also seemed to have just realized. Everyone was too shocked by what Melisa did to Diandra.

As powerful as Diandra lifted the tiny body of Gaara so that Alvin could reach it. While Abi keeps trying to pull Diandra's body.

" Can!!". Alvin exclaimed after Gaara was near him.

Diandra smiled a sigh of relief before her gaze started to blur and everything went dark.

#####

Slowly the eyelids that have been closed for more than two hours are moving. Marking the owner will open his eyes immediately.

"Nadly.." Mumam Diandra slowly. His head hurt for whatever reason. Maybe the strained effect and himself who hasn't eaten anything since morning.

He should have eaten a lot this morning. Shameful until fainting in front of Abi. Maybe that's what Diandra's mind is.

Diandra sat down immediately when he remembered Gaara. Where is that son?? How's condition??

"Where's Gaara??". Diandra circulated her gaze throughout her treatment room. Abi who had not budged from beside Diandra swiftly helped Diandra sit down.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Papa Herman was holding Gaara.

" Gaara.I want Gaara pa". Diandra spread out both hands. Papa Herman holding his grandson approached. Slowly Gaara's petite body was transferred to the Eternity of the Diandra who immediately embraced her.

"Sorry dear mama.mama negligent". Diandra cried as she hugged Gaara's body. He would never have forgiven himself had Gaara been hurt.

" It must hurt, baby.." Diandra gently stroked Gaara's wrist which looked blue due to Melisa's tight cheques. Diandra didn't even pay attention to the wounds on his hands and forehead. I don't know what hit his forehead until it has to be patched like that.

"He's fine at.." Abi stroked the back of his wife who kept shaking.

"I'm sorry, dear mother.." Diandra unceasingly apologized and hugged and kissed his little son's face. It felt like his life was flying somewhere considering what happened a few hours ago.

"Sstt.all will be fine in. Sorry I can't take care of you". Abi hugged Diandra who was hugging Gaara, so the three embraced like a real family.

Both Abi and Diandra's parents can only smile at the harmony unintentionally created due to the terrible events that befell Diandra and Gaara.

The parents chose to leave, leaving Abi and Diandra and Gaara. While Abi continued to kiss the head of Diandra who still hugged Gaara.

Abi also felt that he had failed to protect his son and his wife. If only he could prevent Melisa from doing recklessly, of course Diandra does not need to be treated like this.

Diandra's stable condition makes the doctor allow Diandra and Gaara to go home. Although both of his mama had offered to take Gaara, Diandra refused and kept Gaara.

The car drove through the streets of the city that afternoon, Diandra was in a car with Gaara and Abi, while the parents followed him from behind.

" Sorry.." Diandra turned his head as Abi's lips apologized. His eyebrows were raised at a loss for what Abi apologized for.

"If I'm more thorough, maybe you don't have to help me. none of this is going to happen". Abi glanced at Diandra at a glance who instantly threw his gaze out of the car.

" Thank you for everything in.." Diandra remained silent. I don't know why forgiving Abi and behaving like before is so hard for Diandra.

Diandra was not a vengeful person, but the wounds inflicted by Abi and her brother were too deep for her to forget quickly. Forgiveness and forgetting are two different things. And Diandra hasn't been able to do both against Abi.

While if to Dea, he seemed forced circumstances to forgive his brother. Hating will only make himself shackled with guilt because it makes the person who died unsettled because of his hatred and revenge.

"I hope----"

"Don't expect more from what I'm doing. I did everything for Gaara. Not more". Cut Diandra quickly before Abi finishes speaking. He knew where Abi was talking.

And Abi could only sigh resignedly when Diandra did not want to open the door sorry for him. He was too hopeful when he heard Diandra calling himself with a favorite call that he had not heard for a long time. 'Mas Abi', although simple, but Abi misses the call very much. He wanted to hear Diandra say it again, but it still seemed to take a lot of time. Maybe Diandra reflex said it because he was too worried about Gaara's condition.

" Melisa gets the punishment. If you can't, then I alone will have him imprisoned forever". Diandra's voice sounded very cold. Abi knew Diandra was furious because of Melisa's actions that almost made his son wretched.

"I make sure he won't get away with it.." Abi's heart is full of confidence.
