Hendar continued to hold tightly to Jenny's hand while occasionally dipping it full of feeling. The panic that had been beating the heart never left, but Jenny had been found without any injuries. But still, Hendar was still frightened. Just then while they were walking outside the house, for some reason Jenny suddenly ran away from him. Hendar who was buying drinks was shocked half to death to see his wife leave. Since he did not let the guards follow him, he lost track. As a result, Hendar was forced to spread many men to find where Jenny went. After several hours of being confined in a panic, the guards finally managed to find this woman. Hendar then immediately brought her home because Jenny was already in a fainting state. Not sleep, but loss of consciousness. I don't know what happened, Hendar hasn't asked his men. Too reluctant to leave Jenny alone in this room.
Tok tok tok tok
“Log in!” hendar said without looking at the door. He remained focused on looking at Jenny's face when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
“Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Hendar. I want to report something to you. It's about work,” said a guard while lowering his head.
“Shut down your voice, stupid. Don't you see my wife is asleep?” tegur Hendar cold. Ah, this is crazy. How could a person who was fainting wake up just from hearing someone else's conversation? Looks like Hendar is starting to get out of his mind.
The guard nodded. Not wanting to disturb the rest of the Madam, she decided to whisper beside her boss's ear alone. As an oil boss, it is natural that there are big problems that occur when the mind is not focused on business. And this is what the guard tried to convey. Ever since the Madam wanted to speak, her boss's work schedule had become chaotic. Everyone is overwhelmed by the pressure of work that is ignored. However, they did not dare to open their mouths. Can die on their roast alive later if this oil mafia gets offended.
Waiting for twenty years must not be something easy. Everyone is trying to understand. Lately, the business has not been okay. Forced one of the guards to represent the unrest everyone came face to face with their boss. And here he is now. Trying to be careful might convey the problems that are happening so that this mafia is not provoked by emotions.
“Hmmmm, so it's like that huh. Tell them all not to worry. And for you, search until you find the troublemaker. Negotiate, press them with threats. If you fight, just finish it. I'm not in the mood to come to the company. So this matter I leave to you guys completely!” said Hendar while throwing a heavy breath. Lucky because he was having no taste in killing people, so the rioters could have survived death. Just try Jenny is not in this condition. Hendar must have gone to approach the person and then sent him directly to the afterlife.
“But Mr. Hendar, the company is in desperate need of you right now. We know you're focusing on Mrs Jenny's recovery, but if you still haven't shown your face in front of those with problems, I don't guarantee that this can be resolved in a good way. So I har ….
Sraaakkkkk
Angrily Hendar gripped the neck of his subordinates who had been presumptuous to rule. His eyes were red, he was offended. Without loosening his grip, Hendar threatened to kill the guard if he still dared to provoke his anger.
“Sayday you still have the guts to rule me, believe not that I will blow your head this very second. Crazy, your eyes are blind or how hah! Just now I could hear Jenny's voice after twenty years of her silence, and then you just kindly asked me to focus on work? That bastard! You're making me very angry. Basic k*parat!” amuk Hendar with fiery eyes. The muscles all over his body stiffened so much that he felt irritated. Really yeah.
“M-I'm sorry, T-Master. S-s-I don't mean to offend you. S-I'm min-apologizing. S-i was wrong!” the guard's great-grandson was terrified. His face paled for a moment.
“Enyah from before me right now before I change my mind and then make ….
“Hendar?”
The soft sound of someone making Hendar's body freeze instantly. As fast as lightning he released the grip of his hand then moved to sit to the side of the bed. Jenny realized, his wife was awake.
“Honey, how are you now. Does anyone hurt?” asked Hendar while looking closely at his wife who was twitching her eyes. He then looked back, glaring at the guards who still had not gone there. “Can you get out of this room? My wife just regained consciousness. Don't mess up!”
“B-well, T-Master. S-I'm sorry!”
“Ya, go.”
Jenny watched the guard who was walking very quickly as he was about to get out of the room. After that Jenny tried to wake up. He then smiled as Hendar helped him find a comfortable position by arranging a pillow behind his back.
“Thank you,” said Jenny wept over.
Hendar. His wife said a word of thanks? It's progress. Hendar then shook his head, not letting himself drift in the joyous uforia.
“I'm thirsty. Can you please get me the drinking water that's behind you no?”
“Ha?”
“I'm thirsty,” said Jenny repeating her words. Realizing that her husband was in a daze, she immediately stroked his arm slowly. This man is still as handsome as he used to be. Jenny liked. “Do not worry. I'm fine now. Much better than before. Really!”
“Darling, I'm so afraid you're okay. You're not hiding anything from me, are you?” ask Hendar fretting. His wife's attitude suddenly became strange, very different from two months ago where usually only going to talk as necessary. But today? His wife was even able to thank him and also ask for help. Although happy about the change, but Hendar also feared something happened. She's fidgeting.
“What should I hide from you, Hendar. There is no secret whatsoever,” replied Jenny with a thin smile.
“You're thirsty, right?” Hendar tried not to prolong the issue by diverting it to other talks. He then picked up the glass that was on the table. “This, drink. Slowly just.”
Jenny gladly received the glass and then sipped it slowly. It was cold, that was how he felt as the water began to wet his throat. After being satisfied, Jenny again gave the glass to Hendar. He then smiled, feeling very happy to be reminded of his meeting with Briana.
“You smiling?” Hendar asked while raising both eyebrows. Strange, this time Jenny's attitude was really very strange. Never had Hendar seen this woman smile since the last twenty years. And now? Jenny suddenly smiled for no reason. Too awkward not to ask.
“Hendar, thank you for taking me for a walk today. Thanks to you I found a happiness that I have not felt for a long time. I'm so happy,” Jenny replied with a smile. She cupped her own two cheeks, unable to bear the thought of how warm she was as she hugged her daughter's body.
“Darling, you're actually why. Please don't scare me. Tell a story. Yes?”
“What is there to fear. Look, I'm fine, right?”
“Iya I know. But your lips continue to smile. What's up, hem? Tell me!” insist Hendar force. She catches her own eyes seeing Jenny's smile grow wider after she urges her to talk.
As if there was no burden, Jenny stepped foot to get out of bed. Suddenly his actions made Hendar surprised not kepalang. Immediately caught the two legs and then again raised back to the bed. Jenny who saw this casually laughed then clutched her husband's body. Twenty more years had passed, but this man's body was still stocky. It seems like Hendar has been very diligent in exercising all this time.
“Jenny, please. Tell me what's up. Why do you look so happy after waking up from fainting? What happened, hem?” asked Hendar again persuaded as he stroked the back of the woman he loved so much. Honestly, his heart was currently beating irregularly. His mind was filled with strange assumptions that refer to the mental health of the wife. Could Jenny be like this because she feels depressed? Or maybe Jenny was like this because she felt that their son was still alive? More or less like that was the thought that was in the mind of Hendar, which made him restless like he was going to die.
“You know, Hendar. Just as we were walking around, a voice appeared and asked me to run towards a direction. I didn't listen at first, but the longer the whisper was heard the clearer. Because I was curious, I decided to follow the voice. Then I accidentally hit a girl. She's so pretty. His body is also very warm. I like to hug her,” Jenny replied without hesitation telling her meeting with Briana. If only Hendar knew that Kellen was actually Briana's real name, he would definitely feel such great happiness now. It was a pity that Hendar refused to accept the presence of their daughter. So yes, Jenny told me this very calmly because her husband did not know that the girl he was telling her was actually their child.
“Girl?” Hendar's forehead shriveled. “So that sound came from him?”
“Not, it wasn't the girl who whispered,”
But it was the inner whisperings of a pair of children and parents who had been very long apart. God did it so we could meet again.
“Okay, I get it. Then what happens next? Do you share names?” ask Hendar to try to understand Jenny's story. It felt strange, but he tried not to break his words. Let alone. As long as it is not dangerous, Hendar will let.
Jenny unraveled the embrace and then gently rubbed the face of the man she loved so much. I want him to say that between him and Briana there is no need to share names because they are already tied to each other. Sad indeed, but if this is the best Jenny doesn't mind hiding this secret until she dies. No problem not living at home with Briana. As long as it could see him from a distance and make sure the girl was fine, then that was more than enough.
“The girl's name is Briana, Hendar. Beautiful, right?” jenny said with trembling lips. She was somewhat carried away, powerless to resist the urge to tell her husband that their daughter was still alive.
“Briana?” para Hendar with a thin smile. “The name is very pretty. Is her face as pretty as her name?”
“Yes, Briana is beautiful. His eyes are beautiful too. Similar to my eyes.”
“Really?”
“Ummmm. If you meet him in person, I guarantee you will definitely think that we are a mother and child couple,” said Jenny. His chest feels burnt. Briana was indeed her child, she who had conceived and brought the girl into this world.
Aware of Jenny's unstable mental state, Hendar's heart was sliced to see her beautiful eyes that began to glaze over. If only Kellen were still alive, Hendar would have betrothed her to Briana. No matter what family. As long as he could bring back the smile of happiness in his wife, Hendar vowed to do everything. Including marrying Kellen to Briana. Too bad Kellen's out of nowhere now. Even until this moment the police still could not find traces of the body and also the tomb of his son. It's sad, isn't it? And this is what makes Hendar in the midst of such a great feeling of guilt. His family's happiness was shattered by his own arrogance.
“Hendar, I'm tired. Will you hug me and accompany me until I fall asleep?” jenny asked while holding back so that her crying voice did not break out. Not to forget also he bit the tip of his tongue when almost free to talk by saying that he was like this because he missed their daughter, Briana.
“Don't ask like that, darling. Whenever you want, I will definitely hug you and accompany you until you fall asleep. Don't be sad, okay. Because the current Hendar is no longer the arrogant Hendar and more concerned with work. Now we sleep huh?” sahut Hendar with a raucous voice. It hurt so much she heard Jenny's question.
In tears, Jenny nodded her head. Together with Hendar, they shared a pillow once lying down. Jenny then slid her face into this man's chest, shedding all tears of sorrow to leave a wet trail there. If her husband was not in strict principle, now they would have gathered with Briana. If only everything were easy. Hmmmmmmm.
Briana baby, I miss you, son. Could we be able to hug each other again like before? Mom was expecting it. Really am.
