All Aldrich's work is now done and it's time for him to return to his mansion.
"The car is ready sir, will you be back now?" hans asked who had just entered Aldrich's room.
"Hm."
Hans immediately approached Aldrich and began pushing his master's wheelchair. The atmosphere of the office is already quiet because today Aldrich deliberately overtime until 8 pm.
•••
Finally they reached the mansion, but Aldrich's gaze again caught the car that Aldrich knew so well. That's Elvano's car.
Aldrich got out of the car and Hans pushed Aldrich's wheelchair back into the mansion. Bi Sakina who saw the arrival of her master was immediately running towards Aldrich who looked so tired.
"Welcome, sir...,"
"Where's El?" cut Aldrich.
"Anu sir...,"
"Hi brother!" greet Elvano from behind who was holding a soda drink.
"Gldrich!" selena shouted that made Aldrich directly focused on her Mama. Why are there so many problems today?
"Mama? Mama why is she here?" aldrich asked who saw Selena walking towards him in a hurry.
"Why don't you tell Mama your wife's situation, huh?! What are you thinking about Mama?!" ask Selena.
"Stop!"
"Mama can't respect Al's privacy? Not everything, all Aldrich's household affairs should Mama know!" aldrich's reply made Selena sigh.
"It's not Al! Mama just asked why didn't you tell mama about Keisha's condition? Keisha is Mama Al's daughter-in-law! Mama should also know about her news," Selena said. But Aldrich did not justify it.
"She's my wife Ma, I can take care of her myself!" Aldrich.
"But at least tell Mama...,"
"Ahk! No, no!" yelled Keisha in fear that made the focus of the three turn on Keisha's room door that looked closed.
"Kisha!" Selena who heard that immediately ran towards Keisha's room back. As Daniel would have guessed if Keisha's scrape was really distracted by now. Makes her scream indistinctly like seeing a ghost.
"Ahk! No, not Dad! Keisha's in pain!" hysterical Keisha shouted, who was already cowering in fear in the corner of her room, hiding her face on both knees.
"Keisha! Son, hi, this is Mama son!" selena immediately hugged Keisha's body quickly. Keisha's cry grew louder and more bitter. The years of injuries and torture left bitter memories that plagued his soul.
Aldrich was stunned to see Keisha who looked tormented and frightened. His hands suddenly clenched, remembering Ricard's face as an innocent man for torturing Keisha.
Aldrich hates! Aldrich hates people who only come to hurt.
"Els! Please call Dr. Daniel!" said Selena who then responded to a quick nod by Elvano.
"Al, don't stay there, son. Help your wife, Mama is confused how to do it," said Selena who tried to make Keisha calm but apparently has not been fruitless because Keisha still continues to scream.
Aldrich rewinds his wheelchair and turns away leaving the people there until shortly after Daniel's doctor arrives after getting a call from Elvano.
"Let me handle it first auntie," Daniel said quickly after the man immediately took a syringe and sedative from inside the leather bag he was carrying.
•••
Aldrich now sits on the balcony of his room observing the view of his private forest. His eyes closed for a moment as cold air hit his face. Keisha's agonized face crept back into his mind. Aldrich felt guilty, deeply guilty for mistreating Keisha.
"What have I done? I shouldn't blame anyone else for my current condition" Aldrich said.
"I shouldn't have done that to her" he said again. This time Aldrich chose to go into his room before the knock on the door made him focus on his great woman who was now standing smiling at him.
"May Mama come in?" asked Selena who was nodding back by Aldrich.
Selena walked up to her son who appeared to be by her bedside. Selena chose to sit on her son's bed.
"Mama knows you can't accept Keisha Al yet, but I beg you to take care of her. Your mom and dad already know the behavior of Keisha's parents, Mama feels very lucky to have him as a daughter-in-law today. If only that day you refused this matchmaking maybe Keisha will also continue to be tortured by her parents Al," said Selena whose eyes almost shed tears but little she could bear.
"And you know, he just fell asleep after Daniel gave him the dope. Don't you feel sorry for him Al? She's already suffered enough at her parents' house, at least give her a little peace in her own husband's house Al."
"Listen to Mama Son, this one time. Please open your heart to Keisha, Mama is sure she can love you more and accept you than your ex-lover" Selena added, leaving Aldrich's mind slightly open. Just slightly.
"Aldrich will try to accept his Ma, but Aldrich cannot promise if Aldrich can love him. Because Aldrich is actually still really hurt today, the presence of new people is not necessarily able to erase the memories of old people," Aldrich replied.
"You can definitely Al, Mama is sure if you can definitely forget her and accept Keisha as your wife" Selena said confidently clasping Aldrich's hand.
