The Angel Behind the Veil

Hand Lift

Cantika hugged her father who was still lying weak, she was so scared when she imagined her father would leave her as soon as he left her.

"Now that I'm much better, come home Danish will need you too."

Arya had just asked Cantika to come home to accompany Danish but Danish had already run towards them.

"Darling it's late, why come here? Mama's just coming home to Danish."

Cantika directly carried her little son.

Danish looked towards the back, Bi Susi stood there with a slight tremble. Although hesitant to come to the hospital but he was forced to come because of Danish coercion. Maybe now Mr. Rohim is also no longer alive. But how surprised Bi Susi was when she saw Mr. Rohim's current condition.

"Danish forced her here so Aunt dropped her off." Bi Susi said, she was trying to be normal.

Cantika stared intently at Bi Susi like an arrow coming off her bow.

"Honey, Danish came out first with aunt sister."

Cantika asks the nurse to take Danish out.

"Good Mah."

Although not understand the situation now but Danish is a very obedient child. She came out of there with a nurse.

"What did you do to my father?"

The sudden and pressing question made Bi Susi surprised, not even just Bi Susi but Arya was also shocked.

"What did you say? Aunt doesn't understand." As much as possible, Bi Susi hid her nervousness.

"What's the matter, honey?" Arya also wondered what his wife meant. The face that always smiled kindly was now very different. It was like there was a great anger inside his wife at this moment.

"Don't dodge Bi, tell me what Auntie did to my father?"

"Enough Can, stop!" Arya yelled at Cantika for feeling Cantika had been presumptuous to speak like that to Bi Susi whom she had considered to be her biological mother.

"This is what I'm afraid of, you're gonna blame me and split the aunt you thought was mom all along." Cantika said as she looked at Arya then continued saying "But did you know that some days Auntie did behind you?" Cantika stared intently at Bi Susi again.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Arya lowered her voice knowing that she had yelled at his wife.

Bi Susi was getting nervous there, inwardly wondering if Cantika knew anything?

"Ask him what he's done. Since Aunt came home from her late husband's village so many changes have happened to her but you don't realize that because she's so good at performing in front of you."

"Acika!"

Arya almost landed her hand on Cantika's cheek which she had been pampering all this time.

Cantika was crying with a smile.

"True my guess, if only I had said this a long time ago let alone without proof you would have blamed me and seen only a little bit of what I said about him but you've raised your hand to me."

Arya looked at her still trembling hand hanging in the air with guilt.

"I'm sorry, but please take care of your attitude towards Auntie. All this time he's never been lacking in loving all of us, he's also been thinking of us as his own children." Arya approaches Cantika, but Cantika moves away from her.

"Don't approach me first because maybe after I say everything I've been pending myself these few days then you will no longer hold your hand in the air but will directly land it on my face."

Cantika's words suddenly made Arya and Bi Susi surprised.

Arya looked at Bi Susi who was now pretending to be sad with a bad taste.
