The Love that is Haram

The Kenzo

Kenzo was already preparing to leave the house by dragging a large suitcase in his hand. Although Sekar had prevented his sudden departure, Kenzo did not want to delay his departure.

"Go at least tomorrow morning, It's Ken's night" said Sekar who again persuaded his son.

"Ken told Mih, Ken can't put it off anymore."

"At least until your Papih comes home, maybe Papih will be home soon, Papih just said he wants to go out to find food."

"Just say Ken's regards to Papih, and before you go to Singapore stop by Ken's apartment."

"Why Ken, why do you insist so much, What really happened, Didn't you say after the holidays your relationship and Nasywa will return to normal as before even though they can't have each other completely, Then why now do you want to rush away like you want to avoid it?"

Kenzo could only take a deep breath and remove Sekar's hand from the handle of the suitcase he was holding.

"Ken go first Mih." Kenzo landed his kiss on Sekar's forehead and got into his car.

Now Sekar can only look at Kenzo's departure without knowing the main reason why Kenzo left suddenly without waiting for tomorrow.

After the examination is complete. The doctor prescribes drugs on Hasna that must be redeemed. Doctors said there was nothing to worry about because Nasywa had a normal fever and just needed a lot of rest. But Hasna knew very well that Nasywa was not just physically ill, but an inner pain that could not be detected by a Doctor.

After the Doctor returns home, Herman tells Hasna to redeem the medicine at the pharmacy, but Hasna, who is worried that Hasna will be awake and looking for her, refuses her husband's orders and sends Herman away.

"Why not Mas, How about Nasywa kiss and find me?"

"And there's Me, Just the same, I'm also the Father."

"But Mas, It's late, It'd be better if Mas bought it, There's a man in the house, a woman who has to leave the house?"

"Why indeed, so many women are out in the middle of the night, What else is your clear purpose for buying medicine, Then what is the problem! Don't you want to see your daughter healed?"

Hasna was stunned to hear Herman raising his voice. The strange feeling that Hasna had felt grew when Herman was more insistent on looking after Nasywa than buying medicine for her.

Seeing Hasna's suspicious gaze, Herman turned his gaze and moved from his seat.

"Give it to me, you'll never hear what your husband has to say" Herman said, seizing the prescription in Hasna's hand and exiting the room.

After Herman left, Hasna grew increasingly anxious over his suspicions. But considering the beautiful moments with Herman, Hasna immediately dismissed the anxiety that was in her heart.

In the morning Nasywa woke up from her sleep. Hasna who slept overnight accompanied Nasywa immediately woke up holding his forehead, cheeks and neck to check his body temperature.

"You've been kissing, dear?"

"Since last night Nasywa's been mummy, but Nasywa saw that mom's asleep."

"Why don't you wake up mom, you haven't eaten since the holidays."

"Nasywa doesn't want to bother you, you look so tired."

Hearing his words, Hasna was so moved and hugged Nasywa.

"I'm sorry, honey, you're like this because of me."

"It's not the mother's fault, it's all the fate of the Almighty, I'm sorry Nasywa has made the mother worry and continue to feel guilty." As much as Nasywa's energy trying hard in front of his mother. He did not want his mother to continue to feel sad and guilty about her condition.

"Then I'll get you something to eat, then take the medicine."

Nasywa nodded her head and recalled her separation from Kenzo.

Seeing Hasna come out, Herman went straight into Nasywa's room to ask her about her condition. He immediately sat on the edge of the bed and placed the back of his hand on Nasywa's forehead.

"How are you doing, honey, are you feeling better?"

"Nasywa is no longer papa sir." with a feeling of unease, Nasywa lowered Herman's hand from his head. But Herman again held Nasywa's shoulder with a swiping motion down to his arm.

"Semalem I'm so worried you saw you fall unconscious."

"Nasywa is just exhausted sir, E... You can call me, Nasywa is very hungry." Nasywa again put away Herman's hand and reasoned very hungry in order to expel his stepfather.

Since he entered High School, Nasywa did feel his stepfather often showed excessive affection to him to sometimes make him afraid. But when Nasywa always tried to be prejudiced against Herman and think if Herman loved him only limited to the affection of the Father for his son.
