Secret Husband
Chapter 78



Ella steps up following Zico who is walking in front of her towards her former in-laws house. When Zico opened the gate, the first thing Ella noticed was her husband. The condition of her husband who depends on the treatment of Mr. Cipto makes Ella again feel guilty. Ella came back to regret that she had easily deduced something. Suppose he waited for Bima at that time to ask about the video of the meeting of Bima and Nada. Maybe the accident didn't happen.


And not just Ella. Zico also felt more guilty after hearing the story from Ella. After Cipto left them. Ella had told me about the chronology of the accident that hit Bima. Zico did not expect. If the video he gave to Ella turned out to make Bima had to experience paralysis.


"What's up, son?" ask Mama Maya who can catch the worry on Ella's face. Mr. Cipto has entered the house. Marni's mother also followed because she saw her husband's face looking angry.


"Pak Cipto already knew our divorce ma," replied Ella lethargic. Mama Maya also immediately looks lethargic.


Bima looked at Ella and Zico alternately. Bima moved her hand telling Ella to come closer towards him. Bima grabbed his wife's hand and clasped it very tightly.


"Bima sir need not worry. I'll explain everything to my parents" Zico said. Zico tells Ella and the others to stay in the yard while he enters the house to give an explanation to his parents.


"What do you want to explain?" asked Mr. Cipto coldly after Zico sat down before him. While Marni's mother had cried as if knowing that Ella was no longer her daughter-in-law.


"It's all my fault sir, ma'am. I'm sorry for not being able to affect Baapk's and mother's expectations" Zico said. He lowered his head. He could not bear to see the sad eyes of his parents. Ella is the daughter-in-law of choice by Mr. Cipto and Marni's mother. And the choice turned out to be not wrong just that Zico did not appreciate the choice of his parents so that the marriage did not survive.


Mr. Cipto and Marni's mother can only swallow the disappointment of hearing word for word from Zico's mouth about the beginning of the household until his divorce from Ella. Zico blamed himself for the divorce. Not just disappointed. The two old men were also angry to hear all the suffering Ella had endured during her marriage to Zico. Zico told me everything Ella experienced and what she did was honestly including the presence of a second wife.


Mr. Cipto couldn't hold his hand against slapping Zico. The hand that was used to treating the sick man was now hurting his own son's face.


"Sir, already. We only add to our sins if we hurt them. Zico is guilty. But, believe. This is their true destiny. They're not a match" Marni's mother said, keeping her husband's hand from slapping Zico again.


"I'm really sorry sir. My actions brought Ella's husband to the father as an apology for the wounds I inflicted on him. I beg you sir. Continue the treatment of Pak Bima even though we already know the status of each of us," said Zico with the corner of the lips that bleed.


Mr. Cipto looked at Zico with an indecipherable look. That gaze is what makes Zico very worried about the follow-up of Bima treatment.


"Never go back to the woman you called your second wife. She's not a good woman. A good woman will not hurt another woman to achieve her goals" Ms Marni said firmly. Zico also tells about the nature of Karina to Ella.


Mr. Cipto is still staring at Zico. From the story of Zico earlier, Mr. Cipto actually felt proud to see the actions of Zico who dared to admit all his mistakes. And try to mend his relationship with Ella even though it is impossible to be husband and wife again.


"Father has no face anymore to see Mr. Damar and the mother of Roses. You should have rejected that match. You also can not imagine the suffering of Ella during your wife," said Mr. Cipto with a disappointed tone.


Mr. Cipto and Marni's mother were surprised to hear that Mr. Damar and Mr. Rose's mother had known about the divorce and even witnessed the word talaq coming out of Zico's mouth for Ella. The two parents were increasingly embarrassed even though they only mentioned the name of his former besi.


"Please sir. This is all I can do to get my forgiveness from Mr. Damar and Mr. Rose's mother. Help Pak Bima to heal," said Zico at the end of his sentence.


Mr. Cipto also confirmed in his heart what Zico is doing at this time. Actually without Zico's application as well, Mr. Cipto will not have the heart to stop the treatment. Not only because of the responsibility for the recovery of his patients. But according to Mr. Cipto is inhumane if it stops the treatment just because it knows if Bima is the husband of his former daughter-in-law.


"Father is not a cruel man like you Zico. Let alone Ella's husband. Enemy even if powerless we must help," replied Mr. Cipto make Zico immediately drop his body in front of the pack Cipto. Zico kissed his father's feet. Zico interpreted the answer as a sign if he was forgiven.


"Ella is not your soul mate. But I really hope you get a good woman like Ella" said Marni's mother, stroking Zico's head, who was looking down on her legs. Zico assures his mother's hope in the heart.


"Come in, son" Marni's mother told Ella, who was standing by the door.


The two women hugged with a clear crying sound. Marni's mother cried because she had to lose the good waiting like Ella. While Ella cried because she was moved by the treatment of her former mother-in-law who did not change even though she knew that Ella was no longer her daughter-in-law.


Mom, I'm sorry," said Ella after letting go of her embrace.


"Mother apologizes son. We shouldn't have forced that match."


"Remain calling us mother and father. You are no longer our daughter-in-law. Let us call you our daughter from this second on," said Mr. Cipto expectantly as he looked at Ella.


"Thank you sir. Mother," replied Ella briefly agreeing with what her former in-laws wanted.
