The Love of the Sinner

Opted

Bambang Priambodo is now in his son's office. He who has not entered a spacious room for a long time filled with several books that he bought first every time he went on a business trip, both locally and abroad.

He hopes his son will read to spend time in the workspace and not constantly lead to negative things. Hoping that one day his hopes would be realized and his son chose to concern himself with positive things, such as reading many books containing the business world.

He can even be successful until now is because from a young age he likes to read books about information about the business world, so little by little apply it when opening a business starting from zero and can be successful until now.

Now, he we will walk down the shelf containing books that are still stored neatly and some sealed because they have not been opened. With the movement of his hands touching one by one the book that is the window of the world, he fell silent when he stopped at one book and immediately took it.

"It turns out this is still here" he said, smiling and bringing the book to his eyes because he had not opened it for a long time.

Until he began to open his favorite book because it all started from there. He and his wife used to be people who liked to read and met for the first time also in the library while in college.

Every day even always take a break to go to the library rather than to the cafeteria. So, assume that the library is a second home for them. Until finally getting married and deciding to get married.

Although in the end the wife went first to leave her flesh and blood, until she was long enough to fall down because she loved a woman who could understand her.

Until decided to live alone for many years until now because he still loves his wife. When hoping big on the only offspring, it ends badly and like having no hope.

"Darling, do you see from heaven that your son is currently slumped in a black valley? What do I have to do to turn our son back on the right path?" lirih Bambang Priambodo who is currently remembering the words of his favorite son-in-law.

"Even Aldiano could have immediately agreed to the words of the Princess earlier because he was not the one who asked for a divorce. Even I used to only threaten him if I dared to divorce the Princess, would not give a single pitcher any money to her." He thought if the Princess asked for a divorce, the threat did not apply.

"Did my son not know that? Is he that stupid? Or is it a mere reason not to divorce the Princess? I even really hope if that's the case because if it's true, isn't there a little hope?" While thinking that there is a possibility that his son now has a little feeling for the Princess, so that makes Aldiano disagree divorce.

He even currently smiled faintly as he felt cradled by hope. Although realizing that it is not necessarily true and still needs to be proven by looking at the actions of his son.

"I have to figure that out, but how?" He is currently racking his brain to find an idea in his head to find a way to find out if his thinking is right.

That his son had little feelings for the Princess and made him unwilling to part with the reason of fearing her. However, during thinking for a while, still not finding an idea.

"My brain is now very blunt in the matter of romance because it has long felt it. I have to ask other people for advice who might be more experienced" he said, staring at the book on the table.

The book type of novel that is a favorite of his wife, is deliberately stored in his son's workspace so that if he misses the mother, he will read it.

However, the opposite happened because instead his son never opened the book. Even what happened was venting with negative things and ended up falling into the valley of blasphemy until now.

He is currently breathing rough and turning to take the phone in hand and looking for some names of people who are considered to understand about adult romance.

"Who is the same person as my son? I just now realize that my phone is full of parents like me because business associates are mostly like me," he said in a voice as he continued to check the contact list.

Until he found one contact who was the best staff in the company who was still quite young and probably sepulchral with his son.

"Maybe he can help!" he said by not wasting time because it immediately broke the call button.

During the few moments of waiting, the phone call is not immediately answered and interrupted after the pause time runs out. Until he realized that the time was already showing midnight.

"Must have slept. Tomorrow's rhyme I'm asking him directly to see me at the office." He was currently to go to the room because he was very tired, but when he had just got up from the chair, saw his current son suddenly enter without knocking on the door.

"Pa!" Aldiano, who had wanted to sleep because he felt very tired, could not do it when he got a call from some friends.

That there is viral news on social media regarding the woman who has just been introduced to the public as his wife. He finally wanted to tell his father if he knew the news.

"What's wrong? Papa thought you were asleep." Bambang Priambodo travels towards the bookshelf and returns the one that was taken in its original place.

He frowned as he turned his head while looking at his son's face. "It's like you just saw a ghost."

"It seems Papa doesn't know what it looks like." He immediately showed me an article about the Princess. "Papa read now." Then handed him his phone which was immediately received by his father and looked seriously reading.

Meanwhile, the current Bambang Priambodo immediately clenched his right hand as soon as he knew someone was attacking the company by exploiting the past of his son-in-law.

"Definitely the one who did this was a rival who envied me. So, once you introduce the Princess, immediately find out who she is and find a dark past that is finally utilized." He turned to look at Aldiano.

"Did you remember if the Princess asked for a divorce from you? He did it out of fear of something like this happening. Is the Princess currently asleep?"

"I want to know who knows if he's the son-in-law of Ari Mahesa's family because it's more important to find out the mastermind behind all this." He could now catch a glimpse of the bewildered look on his son who could not answer his question just now.

Aldiano just slicked his shoulders to respond to the last sentence. He felt that if the Princess was very annoying because he said the thing that happened in the car earlier and made the father finally know.

"Basin' women sucks! Why do you keep telling papa? Didn't I tell you not to have to say it because I was making plans and waiting for the right time. Turns out he kept doing it and papa knows." With a look of annoyance at the thought of the woman who had the status of his wife, now he came out of the workroom and followed the father who had disappeared behind the door.

He was now convinced that the Princess was asleep. "Papa shouldn't have told anyone about the woman. Especially to introduce to the media and now it's like this, right?" When the tone of protest that had just been expressed was not cared at all by the father, at the same time the door opened.

The princess who is currently wearing pajamas and blinked her eyes and felt lost because there were two men in front of the room. "Papa? What's up?"

He now feels something is wrong because after Jack's stabbing, all the media covered and the police came. The most worrying thing is that his identity is known by the media.

As his mind wonders about things related to the past, he now receives a cell phone given to him.

"Watch a moment because I want to make sure something" said Bambang Priambodo who was still calm and not confused like his son.

Despite the risk that his company's shares will plummet and cause considerable losses only due to the past scandal of his son-in-law.

The princess who had read an article directly on social media about him because there was a picture of him there, immediately her chest rumbled violently and smothered her mouth with teary eyes.

"Pa, this is what I'm so afraid of. I don't want to get Papa's company in trouble. So, I better get out of here and tell the media that you're my victims, too."

"I deceived you as a good woman, so that I succeeded in becoming a daughter-in-law in this family." Even he was currently turning to look towards Aldiano who was annoyed at him. "Just divorce me now! Now you can be free and not have to be dizzy with my presence."

Aldiano, who had wanted to red his face because he was upset by the news that his friend talked about the Princess' past, somehow now fell silent because he saw the unusual look on his face.

He who was confused to comment, finally turned to his father when he replied. "Here the one who has the right to make a decision is Papa, not me. How, Pa?"

In his heart he felt confused by what he was currently feeling. I don't know why when I saw the expression on the Princess's face that looked so sincere.

Looking worried about his family's good name and not because he wanted to escape from a problem that was not his fault, he felt in his heart something strange.

During this time he hated the women who usually only like to make a profit by utilizing beauty to be able to earn money and also sell the body to rich men.

However, in front of him today it looks just a woman who has regretted her past actions, to become a good and sincere person.

'What is this so-called good people's ordeal when returning to the right path is not easy? The princess who had been shut down and trying to be a good woman, this again got into trouble when there were those who poked at her dark past,' muttered Aldiano who was currently thinking if his position was the same as Princess.

He actually knows very well if what was done wrong, but one of the reasons to continue to be in the valley of blasphemy is because of fear if someone scratches the dark past if he returns to the right path.

For a moment he saw for himself how a sinner who intended to be Istiqomah in the way of the Lord, again got a sharp pebble along the way.

'Maybe if I experienced it, though, going straight back to the path of sin because the blasphemy of many people is much more painful and ends mentally disturbing and results in ending life as done by the artists when depressed.' Thinking if the Princess was a strong female figure and it was impossible to do that, she felt a little relieved.

If the cause of past problems is revealed, making the Princess commit suicide, of course, his family also get problems and will not forgive themselves for being the cause of the woman's end of life after being published as his wife.

Aldiano's daydreams suddenly collapsed upon hearing the voice of the father's baritone when making a decision.

"I'm going to tell people to find out who sent this article and IT experts will try to remove this news from getting spread. So, just throw that thought of you leaving this house." He currently patted the Princess on the shoulder to channel a positive aura so as not to be filled with worry.

"I've said many times before that I will always protect you because I think of you as my own daughter. However, before that, tell anyone who knows if you are the wife of Arya Mahesa."

"Don't you just say that only a few people know about it because your identity is hidden so as not to make Mahesa's family's good name polluted because her son is in love with a married woman." He even currently opens his phone to record the name of anyone mentioned by his son-in-law.

The princess, who at some time tried to remember anyone who knew, now began to mention one by one because it was not many who knew other than the closest relatives and family.

"My ex-husband couldn't have done it because he was in the village and was getting married. Meanwhile, my stepbrother's family is also unlikely as it only focuses on Jack's stabbing. It's possible that outsiders would tell reporters, like the Calistas."

The current princess thought that Calista was very angry the moment she saw him at the party and finally chose to vapourize him drunk. Until coming home by driving alone and finally suffered a misfortune.

"Maybe his parents want revenge for his daughter's death because of me?" The princess felt guilty after learning of Calista's death.

Especially when seeing the attitude does not care Arya, but instead like being attracted to her when at a party, making her more guilty.

"I'm the unlucky lady for everyone. So, I'd better go and not get in touch with anyone so no one gets affected." The princess did not care at all about her good name being tainted when she became a repentant woman.

He currently only cares about the good name of his family-in-law who of course risked everything and if it was destroyed, of course, would not be able to forgive themselves.

Now, he chose to go inside and intended to pack up so that he could leave the Priambodo family home immediately.
