My Love Ends At Pesantren

Attempted Murder

"So what have you been doing for our daughter? The illness that he had suffered for a long time, you as his mother did not know it," Mentari could only endure his sobbing. His right hand shut his mouth so that his crying voice could not be heard.

"From now on, I'll take over Ainun's custody, I'll take care of her as best I can" Azka continued.

"No, I won't let my daughter fall into your hands" Mentari said firmly.

"Other thing you want to do dance? Do you want to see our daughter die of her disease?" bentak Azka's.

"Can you speak politely? You do not need to yell at Mentari, it is not entirely his fault, you also take part in this matter" Joseph tried to defend Mentari.

"It's my fault too? What the hell am I doing? all this is Mentari's fault" Azka smiled mockingly at Joseph.

"What are you doing? You question that to me? ask yourself what you have done" Azka clenched her hand at Joseph.

"If you want to take responsibility for Mentari's pregnancy at that time, none of this will happen, maybe you can take care of Ainun together" Yusuf continued.

Now Azka could only be silent at the words of Joseph. He could not deny that what Joseph said was wrong.

The mentor who was between the two men was only speechless to hear the conversation of the two people. His sobs are now dwindling, a deep sense of regret for what happened to his daughter is making him unable to speak.

"Now is not the time to blame each other, all we have to do now is find a way out,"

"The only way we can do this is to perform an operation," Azka began to normalize her tone.

"Alright, do your best for your daughter" Yusuf said with emphasis.

"Of course, I will do my duty as a doctor and father as best I can" Azka replied steadily.

"I'll take care of all his administrative files, however, I'm the one listed as his father," Azka could only nod.

He could not deny this, because according to existing procedures, Joseph was in charge of Ainun. Moreover, she could not possibly say that Ainun was her biological daughter.

Stepping towards the parking lot, he walked alone. I don't know why he felt someone was following his footsteps. Sometimes he looked back, but no one saw him.

Mentari quickened her footsteps, she hugged the bag she was holding. Fear has enveloped Mentari's entire body. He saw a man walking after him, his fear growing bigger.

As the man accelerated his footsteps, someone suddenly called out the name Mentari. Upon seeing the person who called out to him, Mentari breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Dika waving to him.

Dika realized that someone who stood not far from Mentari was following Mentari. He moved as fast as he could towards Mentari.

The man saw Dika was heading towards him, with quick steps he turned around and ran away from Mentari. Andika tried to chase after him, unable to reach the person.

"It seems that the person intends to harm Kak Tari," said Dika after he returned to Mentari's place.

"Yes, it's a good thing you're here. I don't know what would happen to me if you weren't around" Mentari said.

"Yes, what is Kak Tari doing here? And Kak Tari where have you been all this time?" they also sat on a bench.

"The story is very long, brother can not tell you at length at this time, brother must return to the hospital" said Mentari.

"Who is sick? Is brother okay?" Dika looks worried.

"One day I'll tell you everything, not for now."

"I have to go, if you want to see me, come to this boarding school," Mentari said, handing over a brochure about the boarding house owned by the Yusuf family.

"Well brother, then Dika should take the brother, Dika worried if the person will come back again to harm the brother,"

Mentari accepted Dika's offer, both of them left the park for the hospital. Along the way, Mentari tells about Ainun who is being treated in the hospital.

"What's? Getting rid of a woman is failing you? Basic no becus." shouted Nabila after receiving a call from her man.

"I don't want to know, however, you have to eliminate the woman" Nabila continued and closed the call.

After turning off her phone, Nabila threw her phone on her bed. He could not accept the failure of his man, wanted it to feel he himself did the action.

"If that person cannot get rid of Mentari, then I myself will get rid of her with my own hands" Nabila smiled cunningly while looking at the reflection of her face in the mirror.

He walked up to his dresser, laughing loudly. Suddenly he picked up a glass on the table and threw it.

Like a man of disobedience, he cried out while throwing everything in front of him. The noise in Nabila's room made Nadia and Rika run towards Nabila's room.

Tok tok...

Nadia knocked on the door of Nabila's room, she felt worried if the incident 3 years ago repeated again. The incident where Nabila hurt himself.

"Sir Nabila, open the door" said Nadia.

After a few screams, the door of the room opened. Nabila looks chaotic, Nadia who saw the state of Nabila worried. While Rika just stared in wonder at Nabila.

"What happened brother? Why does sister look this messed up?" nadia asked worriedly.

"Tari, he made me like this" Nabila said, hugging Nadia.

What else is Nabila planning? Why he blames Mentari. Inner Rica while staring dislike to Nabila.

"What does Mentari do to my sister? Tell me sister," said Nadia after sitting Nabila on her bed.

"He told me to get out of here, he said I had been exposing his lies all along" he said sobbing.

Very clever he made up stories. Think Rica.

"Basar women are shameless, she should be the one to leave here" said Nadia with pressure.

"I'll talk this over to Abi, brother take it easy," Nabila nodded with a sly smile.

He has managed to make Nadia increasingly dislike Mentari. Rika who saw Nabila's facial expression tried to guess what the girl would do again.

After making sure Nabila is calm, Nadia and Rika say goodbye to get out of Nabila's room.

"You should talk first with Mentari, do not judge her directly like that" Rika proposed.

"What's? Do you not believe Kak Nabila's words? Hadn't he been here a long time, he couldn't have lied to us" Nadia said.

"Didn't Abi say, we must first tabayun before believing a thing, we must not just listen to one side,"

"Well, we'll talk about this first with Mentari,"

Rika smiled happily at Nadia's words. At least Nadia should listen to the story from Mentari. Rika is very sure if Mentari is not possible to do this.

I have to follow Nabila, it looks like he's planning something. Or maybe the person he wants to get rid of is Mentari. Think Rica.

"Then we should rest, tomorrow we talk about this to Mentari," said Rika.

"Yes, take a break" Nadia said with a smile.

They both went back to their rooms. Rika begins to devise a strategy to uncover Nabila's secret. He was determined to unmask Nabila's lies. He could not let Nabila harm Mentari.
