Sadness And Love

Chafts. 15 { Elisha father meeting }

The chafter 15

Finish morning prayers. Hamdan hurriedly banged on his sister's room door and asked them to get up and get ready to drive him to Mira's house. Irma, upset by her brother's panic, decides not to come along.

Along the way to Bandung. Hamdan looked out the window. Sometimes he looked at some street children who were busking.

“ What's still far?” Ask Hamdan.

“ In a moment. After this turn there is a big alley.” Bondan.

Vianka who was sitting at the back instantly frowned her forehead. There was a strange feeling when his father turned the car around and got into a large alley. The path he felt was not so foreign, making him speak for himself.

“ Instead of last night we passed this way.”

Hearing his daughter's words, Bondan was silent. He had no intention of asking to know his daughter's intentions.

“ om Hamdan, remind. This is the way to the house of the girl named Elisha.” Said Vianka again.

Bondan is a little surprised to hear the name Elisha. As Bondan remembers, he once paid people to find out about his daughter Mira.

From the data that is disclosed. Princess Mira's name is Elisha Ramadhani.

“ May Just be a coincidence.” Bondan murmured in his heart.

When the car had entered a large alley, the car suddenly stopped right in front of the house painted in blue. Hamdan looked at Bondan and asked.

“ You sure this is his home?”

Bondan.

Then Hamdan recounted his encounter with a girl named Elisha. Bondan was a little curious. But, he decided to go down and prove it straight away.

Inside the house. Mira is lying on the couch. I don't know what time he came home from the cafe. It was clear when I woke up. Aunt Mira or my mother, is already asleep on the couch.

I walked up to him, took off his shoes and covered him. And when I was about to leave him. He pulled my hand.

“ Sorry.” Said.

I sat back by his side. And a little smile.

“ Forgive mom, who never took care of you.”

Mira pulled her daughter's body and hugged her. The smell of alcohol was very strong in his body. My tears are dripping. I really didn't think she was my real mother.

I remember the first time I met him. Her pretty face and sweet dimples amaze me with her beauty. But, once in a while when I get out of the house. People around me say, if my face looks a lot like my aunt. I think it's just a coincidence. I never thought she was my real mother.

“ Now.” He said while releasing his embrace. “ Stay with me. “

“ But, Aunt. I mean mom.”

“ What's wrong?” tanyakanya. He wiped my tears.

“ I got kicked out of school. Can I continue my school again?”

Mira smiles. And said softly. “ I'll find a way to get you to school again.”

“ Is mom, I mean her mother Bilqis already told me about the Mandala family.”

Mira nodded.

“ Are you mad at me?” ask again.

“ No. “ reply mira. “ Mother will not be angry. Even I was upset by Bilqis' attitude. Besides, the Mandala family. Family conglomerate. We are just ordinary people. If you want to know a man. Don't look for it from above. The usual, so you're happy. Don't be like mom. Because of that man, he destroyed all the future of mother.”

“ Was my father that bad with mom.”

Mira wiped her tears. If you have to remember the man who impregnated her. Perhaps this bitter feeling will grow stinging. With sadness and resentment he told a story in the past.

Behind the unlocked door. Hamdan heard all the stories Mira said.

My question at the time was only one.

“ Why mother does not tell father, if mother is pregnant.”

“ I want to tell him. But, Hamdan's mother forbade me. He threatened me. And threatened my mother. At that time my grandmother and I had no power. Hamdan's father is married. Surprisingly, Hamdan's mother never banned. But, behind all that. Hamdan's father had a pact with his wife. I found out about that when your grandmother and I left your father's house.”

“ Is this Just a coincidence.” Mumbles.

Suddenly from behind the closed door was not so close, a person came in. My mother and I looked at the door, and we saw someone coming in from the door that opened wider.

Mom pulled me when she found out who was coming.

“ Elisha. Log in and lock your room.” Mother's orders.

I recognized who came straight to explain to mother who the middle-aged man was.

“ Ma'am, he was my traveling companion on the train last night. He also brought me home. His name is Hamdan. “Myjars explained.

“ I said, go to the room. And lock the door.” Mother's orders again. He was visibly upset by Hamdan's presence.

Bondan and Vianka who just entered the house, look towards Mira who only wear short jeans and white polkadot blouse.

Hamdan took off his jacket. He walked towards Mira and covered her body which was seen accentuating her bra strap.

Mira refuses and dismisses Hamdan's good intentions. Hamdan understood his rejection.

“ Elisha, mom says come in and close your room.” Mother's orders again.

I obeyed mother's orders. But, Hamdan immediately pulled me up and said.

“ Is this my daughter?”

I was surprised when Hamdan said that.

“ Finally fate brought us together. “

“ I'm sorry fate has brought us together.” Ketus Mira's. His hateful eyes were clearly visible towards Hamdan.

“ Please Mira. I'm sorry.” Pinta Hamdan he slightly begged while holding my hand.

“ For the sake of our daughter.”

“ Our daughter.” Mira said as if to underestimate Hamdan's words. “ Elisha my daughter. You don't have to admit it and be responsible to my daughter. I'll take good care of him. And you don't have to bother to acknowledge her as your daughter.”

Hamdan took my hand off. He immediately pulled Mira and hugged her. Mira who tried to let go of the embrace as if unable. By hitting Hamdan's chest, he tried to escape. But, Hamdan still hugged her and said softly in her ear.

“ Many years I've been looking for you. All these years of regret haunt me. And all these years, I can't forget you. “

“ Games moreover that make you say sweet like that. I remember, I was a prostitute. A whore like me, used to hearing the sweetness of a man's mouth. “

Hamdan let go of his embrace. He smiles.

“ Come home with me to Jakarta. The three of us are about to start a new life. Better life again.”

“ It's that easy. Oh I forgot, you're used to playing this kind of role. Your hypocrisy Hamdan, never changes. You come and go too. As if everything would go back to how it was. But this time not. I remind you once again. I'd rather forever be a whore than be with a trashy man like you.”

“ mother.” I said. I feel like mom has said too much.

“ Why elisha? You're shocked. “

Mother's words seemed to make me not want to say anymore.

“ This man is your father. Hamdan Hermawan, CEO and largest shareholder of PT. Sectoral. And a widower man who lived his wife with another man. Then, he's looking for us to as a complement.”

“ Enough.” Bondan. He was fed up with Mira's attitude.

Hamdan forbids Bondan from interfering. He signals to his sister-in-law. In this situation, Hamdan understood that Mira would be very angry. Patiently, Hamdan explained something.

“ I think you forgot me Mira. You are still finding out about me, too. I am a widower whose wife cheated on me. But, it was my fault. I married my ex-wife because of my mother's match. And when I want to touch it. Your shadow haunts me. A year I was married, I never touched my wife. It's only natural that he's looking for another man. And finally. I decided to look for you and want to fix everything.”

Mira was silent, her head started to feel dizzy. The influence of alcohol made him unable to control his body. And when his eyes began to twitch. He also fell unconscious .

Hamdan is not far from Mira. He caught his body almost falling to the floor. He hugged her and held her on the sofa.

“ This time, let me take care of you.”

Hamdan's words, of course, could not be heard by Mira. It makes me sad, my tears are still wetting my cheeks. I didn't think the man I met on the train was my real father.
