The Love of Kalila

Frustratingly

Lying for two days in the hospital, a wind of relief finally blew across Marcel's family upon hearing the news he had regained consciousness. Mr. Marlon who had just returned from office immediately went to the hospital without thinking about the fatigue and lack of sleep he faced.

For two days he also found out the whereabouts of Sindi and Dhika in Germany to forcibly withdraw his daughter-in-law and affair and plunder them in public.

"Son, are you conscious?" lunge Mr. Marlon hugged the body of Marcel who was still lying limp.

Marcel quiet. His gaze was empty. Iba with the condition of snag son like that, Mr. Marlon asked the doctor who treated him.

"Right now he was in a deep shock, having lost something precious to him. As a close person and family, I beg you to continue to pay attention to him so that the trauma he experienced does not reach a more serious stage."

Mr. Marlon walked straight from the doctor's office to Marcel's nursery. He smiled when he saw Marcel eating some bribes from his mama's hand.

"Ma, pa." call Marcel out loud.

"Yes, son?" sahut pak Marlon enthusiastically. He held Marcel's hand and sat down next to his son.

"I beg you, forget what Sindi has done to our family and do not have a grudge against her. I'm sure he'll come back to me because he knows, I love him so much." Marcel said blankly staring straight ahead.

The hearts of Mr. Marlon and aunt Henny grimaced. Even at a time like this, Marcel still expected Sindi's return.

Had Marcel not been hospitalized, Mr. Marlon himself would have explored the German state in order to find Sindi's whereabouts and to count those who insulted his family. But this... His son was expecting the return of the damned woman.

"Son, don't think about anything. Rest for you to recover." advises Mr. Marlon stroking Marcel's shoulder while looking at his wife. The two old men were communicating with each other through their eyes.

From that moment on, no one dared to laugh out loud at home. Not brave, but indeed the sense of wanting to laugh was destroyed thanks to the humiliation given by Sindi. This news has spread throughout the city. Not a few also scorned Marcel and the Marlon family who were to blame.

Marcel, who had not been able to do anything, only accepted the sneer with a wide ear and a huffed heart.

"Spread rumors, that I cheated on my wife, so she left and couldn't stand me!" his orders were to Sueb, assistant to Mr. Marlon while everyone was relaxing in the living room.

Mr. Marlon who heard the order was also made to interfere in opposing his son's decision.

"You're crazy Marcel? The rumors will only tarnish your good name." joked Mr. Marlon.

"It's okay, pa. In this way, Sindi can return home without having to think about the gossip that will befall her."

Gosh darn.. Shouted Mr. Marlon in heart. He wanted to hit Marcel in the head so that the boy would come to his senses. Fortunately Aunt Henny stopped her intentions.

"As far as you are. Papa won't take care of your household matters. But listen Marcel, if the woman comes here and sets foot in this house, papa swears he will drive her away from our family." Mr. Marlon's voice boomed with emotion.

***

A few months have passed. Marcel is still living life. Sometimes he screamed loudly because he thought of Sindi who never went home.

The family also realized, Marcel's silence at home, did not make the child's condition improve. Precisely depressed, considering the room he always used there are still items and memories with Sindi.

That day Dem came. He also regularly saw his best friend at the house of Mr. Marlon. He also wanted to see Marcel getting thinner and not having a purpose in life. Finally he persuaded Marcel to join the diving community he had just entered. If only he hadn't kept thinking about Sindi and meeting new people. It was there that Marcel became acquainted with Fandi who turned out to be his SD friend, Aji, and Carlos.

Mr. Marlon was also a little calm as his son had already started to have the will of life apart from Sindi.

"Pa." call Marcel over to Mr. Marlon's office at his house.

"Yes son?" mr. Marlon is back.

"Pa, can't I continue my studies in America?" ask Marcel.

A trace of hope is depicted on Mr. Marlon's face. All he thought at the time was that Marcel had moved on and thought about their family business being neglected for a few months.

"Are you serious, son?" mr. Marlon made sure. And Marcel nodded.

"Yes, pa. Maybe if I also had the same qualifications as that guy, Sindi could see me and come back to me" Marcel said.

The smile disappeared in the night wind from the corner of the window. Mr. Marlon is now at the top of his emotions because he has to hear a name that should not be mentioned again in this house.

"Marcel, stop!!!" jikak mak Marlon.

"I've prepared the file and will be leaving in a week." Quickly answer Marcel who seemed to have predicted the reaction of the father.

Well, in long negotiations with his wife, Mr. Marlon let Marcel go to America. While hoping he seriously learns and forgets Sindi and becomes an invincible great when he returns.

But, a year ago Marcel in a liberal country that is famous for being free, his life became directionless. Alcohol, free sex, and the like became his comrades in the land of people. Unable to let his son be so wildly overwhelmed with life, Marlon sent his eldest daughter Hesty to study in America and watch over Marcel.

Fortunately thanks to Hesty's supervision, Marcel got a little serious and finished his studies for two and a half years. And returned to live the M2M hotel business that was inherited from him.

Inevitably, his life in Tanjungpinang became contaminated from what he had obtained in a liberal country. Alcohol and free sex became her life companion for the past few years before she met Kalila.
