*****
Rashad dropped his body on the bed. After a few days in Bali, Rashad returned to Jakarta but there was something very disturbing in his heart, his meeting with Jelita, there was regret in his heart after saying sharply to Jelita. Rashad saw disappointment in Jelita's heart but the girl covered it with a cold look. Many questions are raging in Rashad's heart today.
Why does Jelita look so changed? Why does Jelita look so cold to him? Who is the man with Jelita? Is the man really the nafs* girl because in the photo his face is very different from the one he saw at that time?
Tok.dok...
Rashad rubbed his face violently and looked at the door of his room which was continuously knocked. "Lake in!" rasyad shouted a little loudly.
"Mother, Wawa!" rasyad said with a smile.
"Dad!" nazwa shouted, asking Rashad to carry her.
Rashad directly carried Nazwa, he smiled smugly when he saw Nazwa's face. The little girl in his arms was not his son. Why would Lolita lie to him so much? But even so Rashad would not give Nazwa to Lolita, he did not want Nazwa's fate to be bad if it was in Lolita's hands.
"Why, Honey? Same with Dad, huh?" rasyad asked gently by rubbing Nazwa's cheek.
Nazwa nodded vigorously, he kissed Rashad's cheek fondly. "Such a miss Dad. Daddy's busy kelja too late!" nazwa said funnyly making Rashad chuckle. His tiredness was somehow lost when he looked at Nazwa, his son was very similar to Jelita.
Why does he always think of Jelita? He had been very trying to forget his love for Jelita but still the love was still very big and his little heart was always in denial about what his mind had accused so far. Rashad's ego is still very big to Jelita, he is still very disappointed about Jelita's departure in his life, and about the photo. Rasyad was eager to find out everything but he was very afraid of feeling a deeper disappointment for Jelita.
"You why? What's happening in Bali?" asked Gladis curiously when he saw the look on the child's face looks depressed and a lot of burden that seems to be the responsibility of Rashad now.
"Lolita was cheating, Bun!" rasyad said calmly without any of the heartache he felt for Lolita now that his brain and heart were thinking about Jelita.
"It seems like something else is troubling your mind right now. Is it true Mother's guess?" gladis looked at Rashad.
"Hmmm yes Bun. I met Jelita by accident while on the beach with men, "Rasyad replied quietly. He stroked the calm head of Nazwa in his lap and it seemed that Nazwa was already drowsy now. It seemed like Nazwa had indeed missed her so much that Nazwa had instantly fallen asleep on her lap after chatting for a while with her.
"YOU MET JELITA? WHY DON'T YOU BRING HER BACK TO THIS HOUSE? DEAR GOD, MOTHER MISSES JELITA, SHAD!" gladis said happily. Finally for three years he harbored his longing feelings towards Jelita, Gladis could get news of Jelita from Rashad now.
"Bun, please don't expect him to return to this house again" Rashad said.
"Why? Why are you so selfish? You don't want to find out the truth when your little heart is so in denial about the photo!" gladis said sharply.
"I'm scared, Bun! I was afraid that the photo was true. I'm afraid I hate Jelita even more" Rashad replied honestly. "I am a fool! But I did this so that my disappointment slowly faded for him" Rashad continued heavily.
"If all that was just engineering what would you do? Apologizing to Jelita? It won't be as simple as you think, Syad!" gladis said firmly.
"Yes..."
"Easy! You are the same father you are! You are like a betel nut on the two sides of the difference you are more selfish," said Gladis with a slack. "If Jelita returns, Mother will match her with Rashid!" gladis continued with annoyance which made Rashad widen his eyes in surprise.
"Yes..."
"You can't protest what Mother's decision is!" said Gladis cut off Rashad's speech before his son spoke.
"Mother knows you have always harbored a taste for Jelita and you tried to deny it also tried to hate your own foster sister but in the depths of your heart you cannot hate her. You're just trying to hate Jelita. You know exactly what your scathing speech is that makes Jelita leave this house and when you can't control that spicy speech back Mother is sure not only her body is gone from your life but her heart aslo. And when that happens do not ask for help Mother to make Jelita love you again. Mommy thinks only Rashid is able to keep Jelita!" gladis said with excitement.
Unbeknownst to Rashad and Gladis. Rashid heard everything that made the man go awry. On the one hand he did not want to see Gladis sick, on the other hand his heart was enthroned by a woman who had overturned his life so far. Rashid only considers Jelita as his sister no more feelings during this time.
"Gea, what should I do? It's impossible to just let go of you!" rasyid muttered in frustration.
