Nadira (forgotten)

*Tough options

My soul is empty without your presence

My race is bargaining without your love

Although this body is not with you

My love is forever for you.

This place is getting colder than usual. Either this is just my feeling or because the aura of Hamzah's papah is different. He looks like a mobster punishing his enemy, really making me squeak. In addition, it turns out that all this time papah knows everything I did to Devi, his son.

"I want you to treat Devi the way a husband should treat his wife well" he said gently, then, as different as he wanted to eat me alive.

"I just want my children and grandchildren to be happy" he continued, papah approached me and hugged me. I felt his shoulders shake a little, what a crying papah I thought. Papah pulled his body and his face was now back cold, after that he said calmly now it could be like this again.

"But I had to make sure my son and grandson were happy forever" then he brought his lips closer and whispered something.

I was wide-eyed, not really expecting him to want such crazy things. I can't do that to my son, no. No. I love my son, and even the life I give to him. I shook my head to wake myself up

"I can't possibly do that reward, my children are my life. So I'm gonna do what's best for them, not even like that. It's not fair to him at all" I said loudly to ventured in defense of my son's rights.

"The father laughed cynically, carrying both his hands and covering them in front of his chest.

"It's up to you, my son-in-law"

"But one thing you should think about if you don't accept my terms"

I glanced at him lazily, however I wouldn't.

"If you don't accept my terms, you'll lose your job, and once you're free, I'll make sure you don't get a job easily, and that'll have an effect on your future, won't it?" he said, make my brain think .

I can't possibly get them into such a situation. If work is possible I can try from zero again in the future. But if social sanctions are? Maybe true, they'll accept that for life. The label of the ex-con will be attached to this self.

But do I have to do everything that Papah Hamzah asks?

Am I willing to do that?

I bowed lethargic, pulling my hair in her frustration.

"Hahaha.don't think too much of a young man" his laughter spread all my thoughts.

"Many remember, I can do ANYTHING as I please" he deliberately emphasized any word because he could actually do it even using his dirty ways.

"Is there no other condition than to sacrifice my son's reward" I ventured to look at him.

"Will parents also want their children to be happy, not reward?" Trying to negotiate, who knows his heart softened a little.

"Can't" he shouted out loudly while pounding the table in front of him. His aura of anger was clearly visible.

"You're right, your son should be happy but it's up to your son, it's your business. Understood??" Further again.

" So how? what's your decision my son-in-law?" He asked with a grin on his face.

I couldn't think well this time, all the bad things went through my mind. Mom, Dad, my kids, their futures, they all just spin around.

Do I have to accept the terms of Papah Hamzah?

what decision will Bagus make???
