The Snow In Paris

CHAPTER - 39

Slowly Aaric approached his wife's bed, faintly hearing Snow calling his name. "Yes baby..." Aaric pulled out a chair and sat down beside Snow. "I'm here."

Aaric clasped Snow's hand and danced it in his face. "I'm here I am."

"Mas," he said softly and stammering because Snow's breathing has not been fully stabilized. "I beg you not to fire the aunt" he asked. In the midst of his near-death condition due to over dosage Snow was still thinking about the fate of the workers working in his home. He does not want them all to lose their jobs because of him, especially the Nanik who desperately needs money for his son's medical expenses, Snow can not imagine if Aaric really did his threat. "Mas, I dare swear, have no relationship whatsoever with Calla, I don't even know the woman...."

"Shhhh.." Aaric put his index finger on Snow's lips. "I believe you, baby. I'm sorry I didn't have time to trust you, I promise I won't fire our housekeepers, I'll obey all your will, I promise..." Aaric stroked Snow's head gently. "Now you rest yes, said your doctor still can not talk much." Aaric sat beside Snow spending his wife's hours, he was completely indifferent to dozens of messages and calls coming into his phone from his mother and sister. Aaric had suspected that his mother and sister contacted him because of the hebohanya video of his mother that is circulating in the virtual world.

"I'm waiting outside huh" whispered Aaric, he peeked at Snow's forehead before he finally walked out of the ICU room.

As soon as the door opens, the ICU room. Aaric, surprised by his mother-in-law who was already standing waiting for him to come out. "Mom wants to talk to you, do you mind?" ask Rini.

At first glance there was an anxious look in Aaric's face, he could already guess if the mother-in-law wanted to interrogate him. Maybe when Sky scolded him he could still not pay so much heed, but if his mother-in-law, he could not. He tried to respect, especially when he was in the wrong position, but he believed his mother-in-law was wiser and could be discussed with than Sky, the boy whose emotions were still erupting."Well ma'am," Aaric followed Rini from behind to the canteen around the hospital.

"Sit down" said Rini when she reached the cafeteria, she asked her minister to sit in front of her. Rini looked at Aaric fixedly, it was still clear in her mind how this man sitting before her begged him to grant her permission to marry his eldest daughter. It is still clear in his memory of all his promises to make his daughter happy, even though from the beginning Rini had warned Aaric if Snow was very fragile, Snow almost never gets affection from her father so Rini asks Aaric to be her protector and home for her daughter.

But after the blessing he got, he wasted his daughter, not only the man now sitting in front of him, but also the family of the man. Even her daughter-in-law had the heart to lie to her and keep her away from her eldest daughter.

While Aaric kept his head down, he dared not look at his mother-in-law. "Ric, do you remember the first time you came to Bandung and introduced yourself?" rini opened her mouth.

"Will you remember your struggle to get Snow? Snow never came after you, you're the one who wanted it so badly. But why is it that after you get everything you want, you hurt her? You tortured her heart and body, you even let your parents persecute her." ruined Rini's day when she saw the video that circulated widely in the virtual universe, he was not at all proud of his daughter getting a lot of support from many parties, what he thought was how the condition of Snow's heart at the time of the incident.

Aaric was unable to answer all of her mother-in-law's questions, her body trembled, tears of regret began to trickle down her cheeks.

"Mother understands, a man is obliged to serve his parents, especially to his mother for the rest of his life. But a wise man is one who is devoted to his mother and also glorifies his wife and respects her in-laws" said Rini. "Snow is like you, she was born from a mother, although her main responsibility is you, her husband, but she is still a child who must respect her mother. Why did you break our cord? Though all this time I've never demanded anything from you or Snow, seeing you guys happy, harmonious and well-off, is enough for mom."

Aaric got up from his seat and rested before Rini. "I'm sorry ma'am... Hix... I'm sorry I hurt Snow and mom, too" she said stammeringly, she's never been this sad and sorry in her life.

With a slight hesitation, Rini stroked Aaric's back gently and asked him to sit back down. "Sit down, it's not good to see people," he looked around. "Mom forgave you, son."

Slowly Aaric sat down and wiped his tears. "Son, do you still love Snow?" ask Rini.

Aaric nodded confidently. "I still love him so much."

"If you love her, I'm asking you. Please let Snow go, give her back to mom," said Rini, in fact she does not like divorce but knows that Snow had registered with the religious court, as well as the household problems that befell him were quite heavy so Rini insulted Aaric to release her daughter. "Mom will take care of him, as he was when he was a child."

Aaric was silent for a long time, his heart still really loved his wife, he could not let go of Snow. "I need some time to think," Aaric grabbed Rini's hand and kissed her. "I'll excuse you, ma'am, Assalamualaikum."

Rini's request was so heavy for her that it took her some time to think, but on the other hand she also did not want to see Snow depressed with her. Aaric decided to return to his residence, to calm his mind.

Arriving at Aaric's house immediately greeted by Astrid, and Lantern. They both bombarded Aaric with a lot of questions. "Where are you, Ric? Mommy's phone is not up for grabs," she protested.

"Where are you going? Do you not know, because of the wife of Aaric, we get so much blasphemy betizen on our social media," continued Lanternera.

"Not only that, mommy is removed from the army mother's genk member, your wife is really outrageous. Can't you muffle all the scattered videos? You have your IT people block all the videos that are circulating."

"Can't" replied Aaric firmly. "Isn't that mommy's own video? Mommy should think before humiliating my wife in front of others." Aaric passed by leaving his mother who kept shouting to him.
