The Love of the Master

Episode 74

The sweet arum seller named Halim rose from his seat, he sharpened his gaze towards the figure of a beautiful woman standing under a large tree. He looked from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.

Seeing him he remembered someone, the beautiful face was more beautiful even his face seemed to shine. Probably the effect of her pregnancy. Halim pursed her lips, she smiled. Unable to believe his eyesight, he kept rubbing his eyes. What did he see was his daughter? When he separated from his family, Ayunindya was 17 years old.

"Dad." Nindya approached while shedding tears.

Even with Halim, now he believes that it is his biggest daughter. Halim walked until his gulali cart rolled over, so enthusiastic to welcome his daughter.

Nindya squandered in Halim's arms, the pregnant woman sobbing as much.

"Where is he? Why did you leave without news?" Nindya banged the man's chest half a century ago.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to leave you." Halim was crying unstoppably. The two hugged each other tightly, until Halim felt something on her daughter's body.

Halim released her son's body, then looked down at his face. He saw his daughter's slightly distended stomach. And Nindya also knew that the father was staring at her stomach, Nindya touched and rubbed her own stomach.

"You pregnant?" ask Halim.

Nindya nodded while answering. "I got married a few months ago."

Halim cried again, she could not see the happy day of her daughter. Halim hugged her daughter again while saying sorry.

As they hugged, Halim saw the figure of the man over there. Then release his embrace from Nindya's body.

"In the meantime, I have to be with that guy." Halim said as she walked towards Andra.

Now they face each other, Halim does not know that Andra is his son-in-law. He approached Andra because he wanted to reverse the change when buying sweet arum from him. Halim took his pants pocket, he took the money.

"Sir, this is the change. I'm calling you Sir is gone." Halim said while thrusting money at the man before her. Halim herself did not hear clearly when Andra said that the rest of her change was for her.

Andra did not speak even he had not received the change, he even cried because he was sad. People as good as Halim why separated from his family? Nindya is also a very good mother, even with her two younger siblings were obedient.

Halim was confused when she saw the man in front of her crying. Then he glanced at Nindya because the pregnant woman approached him and even stood beside the man who was still unfamiliar to him.

"Well, this is Andra. He's my husband" Nindya explained.

"His husband? So who buys you sweet arum Daddy's son-in-law, Dad?" ask Halim.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Dad. I know where Dad has been since my husband bought that sweet arum." He cried again.

"Here, don't apologize again. The wrong father."

"We'll just talk there, how?" Appointing Andra to a food stall across the street, he thought that Nindya's father must not have eaten.

"Yes, Dad. We're going there." Nindya leads Halim to come with her.

Now they are in the food stall. Andra ordered the most delicious food there, she served it to her father-in-law. Halim and Nindya were already sitting on the chair, and Andra followed.

Shortly after, the food came. Halim stared at the food one by one, it would taste delicious if he ate it. He hasn't eaten such good food in a long time.

Halim smiled and started eating the food.

"Yes ..." Halim throats a spoonful of food towards Nindya's mouth. Halim was so happy to be able to feed her daughter back.

Nindya also ate voraciously, eating from the hand of the father was delicious. Andra could only see them in turn. He shed tears again because of how close they were.

The meal is finished. Halim starts asking Rahayu as well as the twins.

"What about your mother and sisters? Where have you been living for 5 years?" ask Halim.

"We live in Sukabumi, Mother, Nisa, and Panji are there" Nindya replied.

"Tomorrow let's meet them, it's late afternoon" Andra said. Andra thought about the condition of his wife who was pregnant young, he was afraid of Nindya soy sauce and even had an impact on her pregnancy.

"Where have you been living for 5 years?" Nindya is curious because her father has not told her why her father left.

Halim told him everything that happened to him. For the last 5 years. On that day, Halim as usual went to the office. He served as a financial officer. Upon arrival at the office, the leader was furious because the company's money did not exist.

"Halim, you make the company's money? What are you using this money for?" ask the leader while showing proof of transaction through the company account and it goes into his account. Because Halim didn't confess because she didn't know anything about it. In the end, he was thrown into prison.

While in prison, only Siska visited him. Siska is the younger brother of Halim. Unbeknownst to him, the woman drove her family out of her home. After spending 3 years in prison, Halim is out of the cell. He immediately went home, but his house was occupied by someone else. Siska sold her house. From there he sought the whereabouts of his family.

Halim doesn't have a penny, there she can't find her family. Being an ex-con makes it hard to find a job. 1 Year he was hanging indistinctly, and for 1 year now, he started working as a sweet arum seller. Trading while looking for the whereabouts of his wife and child.

Nindya who heard him cry. He thought it was just him and his mother who were suffering. But his father suffered far more, unimaginably living behind bars for 3 years. Of course being there is experiencing unwanted things.

Nindya also saw some scars on her father's hand, and she touched him.

"This injury must have been much more painful than I and my mother" Nindya said.

"This injury is nothing, baby. I've always thought about your life." Again tears come out.

"We'd better go home" Andra asked.

And they finally came home. Andra invited him to the main house, however he had to introduce who his father-in-law was to his parents. During the trip, Nindya continued to be beside her father.

Andra himself felt like a driver, he was sitting in the steering chair. His wife was in the back seat. Nindya ignored him since then, but that's okay. He was happy if his wife's parents reunited.

They were at the Wiliam mansion. Halim saw the big house, now he knows who the figure who became his daughter-in-law. Halim felt reluctant to enter, she felt ashamed of her situation like this. Kumel, nekil. Maybe when compared to his assistant there is nothing.

"Corn in, come in" Andra asked.

While at the main door, there was Wiliam and Anye there. They were waiting for the return of the son and daughter-in-law. Andra's parents saw a stranger with Andra and Nindya.
