PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 283

This morning Zahra could not make her own breakfast for Faza because Fahri did not want to be left behind by him. The toddler even cried if Zahra was not visible from his sight for a second.

“Papah's son is really cool? Why the hell, hem? Don't want to be far away from momah well hem?”

Faza kissed the stocky body of Fahri who suckled Zahra. The man was neat in his gray suit because he wanted to go to the office to carry out his daily routine of work.

“Enight Fadly here huh mas?” Zahra asked slowly to make Faza stop kissing her son's stocky body that did not care at all because of breastfeeding.

“Eem.. Yes dear. Said he was supposed to meet Loly.” Answer Faza.

Zahra nodded slowly. Zahra knew that the present situation was no longer the same as the previous one. Sinta is no longer able to get close to Loly because Loly is forbidden to be close to Akbar's family by her parents.

“Yes we're down now. I had a meeting this morning.”

“Ah yes mas..”

The two of them then got up from their seats at the bedside and stepped in tandem with Zahra who was holding and nursing Fahri who did not want to get away from him this morning.

 ---------

Meanwhile, at the Akbar family residence.

Everything is no longer the same. Sinta seemed very different from knowing why Erika broke off with him. Sinta even became often daydreaming and never again cheerful as before. What's more the last three months Faza also never again came or called him. His eldest son was lost to the earth without any news.

“Faza has never been here since you kicked him out mah.”

Sinta just shut up. The woman even continued to have a flat expression while stirring the food in her plate which was still full and she had not yet sucked it into her mouth.

“It may soon be that Fadly will do the same. He'll stay away from us. Em papah from mamah.”

Sinta moved both her eyes turned to look at Akbar who was sitting at the very end of the dining table where Sinta was right next to him.

“Papah blames mamah?”

“Didn't everything go wrong? Mamah does everything according to her own mind.” Akbar replied calmly.

“Young wanted Fadly with Loly too. And now when the two of them already love each other mamah get in the way. Have you ever thought about the feelings of our children? Do you always think that what you do is always right?”

Sinta gulped. Until this moment actually Sinta also still hopes Loly to be his daughter-in-law. Sinta sometimes even imagines Erika and her husband coming and apologizing for the insults they had thrown at Fadly at that time. And of course Sinta will immediately forgive Erika's mistakes.

Akbar laughed softly hearing that.

“Papah never once felt insulted mah. Faza, also Fadly they also remain calm and do not feel insulted at all by others.”

“That's because you guys grossly underestimated your self-esteem.” Quick reply Sinta.

“What does that mean mamah is the only person in our family who always upholds self-esteem?”

Sinta silence. Sinta herself is confused now. Now the woman feels that whatever she does is wrong in the eyes of her husband and his children. Though clearly Sinta did all that for the common good.

“Need to know, we are living not on our own judgment. But the judgment of others. They like or hate also have a reason.”

“What this talk will bring the name of papah's favorite daughter-in-law?” Ask Sinta.

Akbar grabbed a glass of water intending to finish his morning breakfast that so did not make him taste.

“Oh of course. My daughter-in-law is a good woman who has always been underestimated as mamah. Papah thinks everything that happens at the end of this can make mamah aware but it turns out mamah is even more selfish. Mamah made Faza and Fadly suffer. Maybe even they already feel the loss of a mamah figure that they were very proud of.”

“What does papah mean?” Sinta asked, staring inexplicably at her husband.

“Already. Talking to mama will only waste precious papah time.”

Akbar got up from his seat then passed by leaving Sinta who started burning with emotion. These few months Akbar was indeed very cold and continued to corner him. Akbar had never even been so sweet to her. Each with the man always discussed all about the problems that Sinta did so that made Sinta always have nightmares.

Feeling frustrated, Sinta threw and dropped all the dishes on the table. The woman screamed in frustration at feeling she was no longer cared for by her husband and two children.

The aunt who witnessed it from behind the wall could only stay still while stroking her chest. Bibi wants to help her employer but Akbar has warned her to let go of what Sinta did without preventing it. But even so Akbar always asked aunt to always keep an eye on Sinta who was more often silent and daydreaming at the end of this. Because after all Akbar did not want anything bad to happen to his wife. Akbar does love Sinta very much, but Akbar also still has sane thoughts by not accepting any reason Sinta in making mistakes.

Akbar, who was still in the front of the house, heard the sound of shards being slammed by Sinta. But Akbar did not intend to go back into the house and check what his wife was doing. Akbar hapal how Sinta. That woman may be frustrated. But Sinta's frustration is not because he realizes his mistake but because he considers everyone around him to be wrong and does not appreciate it.

“God.. Maybe the way I cornered my wife was wrong. But the servant had no other choice. Servant does not know how to resuscitate the wife of the servant.” Inner Akbar closed both of his eyes for a moment.

Akbar turned back to the main door of his house. If only Sinta could realize all the mistakes he has made, Akbar also will not be indifferent and pretended not to care about him. But Sinta's stubborn and selfish attitude makes Akbar can no longer think clearly. Akbar ran out of ways to tell his own wife the right thing.

Akbar sighed. Akbar will let everything flow as it is. Akbar will also let his wife feel the loss because his two sons are getting away more and more. Fadly who is usually calm even began to dare to speak out against Sinta's orders. As for Faza, it had been three months that his eldest son had not set foot in his home since that afternoon.

Yes, Akbar knows the brief arrival of Faza and Zahra from aunt.
