The Untouched Heart

Chapter 113 - Think of the Solution

Mama returned my phone to me, then approached Hadi. I see the phone connection is still connected. “Hendra?”

“What are you doing? Why didn't you tell me that Mama was going to talk to me? I am attending an important meeting, Za,” said Hendra annoyed.

“Kids want to meet you.” I came out of the living room because the sharp look in Mama's eyes started to unsettle me.

“Why didn't you tell me this morning? You don't call or text, I think everything's in control there. What happened?” tanyanya's confused.

“Hadi and Dira must be forced to take a bath and eat. Now Hadi is still at home, completely unwilling to go to school. I asked Papa and Mama to come because I didn't know what else to do.” I walked away from the door of the room.

“It's that bad, why didn't you call me?” his protest. I looked up when I heard the door open.

“You want to talk until when? Hendra's time to arrive at this house is less than an hour away,” Mama said firmly.

“OK. I'll take care of everything here and get there soon. Hold Mama from coming and making a fuss in my office. I have the self-esteem as a leader that I need to take care of.” I rolled my eyeballs hearing that ridiculous sentence.

Dira had woken up an hour later, but Hendra had not yet arrived home. Both of my grandchildren have sad faces. They find out that their grandmother is on their side, so they deliberately seek her attention. I could only sit on the sofa with the table between us, feeling treated as a bad person. Mama intends to tell Liando and Sakti to go to the office when the roar of the car engine in front of the house.

Hadi and Dira's faces immediately turned cheerful. “Papa!” They came down from the lap of their grandparents and ran out of the room. Mama glared at me. I stood up and followed the children who stood impatiently waiting for the front door to open.

And that's where he is. The man who made my children fall in love with him. They love more than their own mother. Hendra knelt down and let Hadi and Dira hug him while crying loudly. The dog caught our attention. Ah, now I understand. He came a little late for picking up the puppy from his apartment.

My mom invited us all to sit in the family room. Hendra looked at me with a clear face. I pretended not to care. He knew that I did not dare to oppose my mother since the operation to install the ring on her heart. Especially since Mama got sick from Aldo's son of a bitch.

“Sit there.” Mama pointed towards the three-seat sofa. Hendra. Hadi did not take off the end of his father's suit and sat down by his side. “Where are you going?” Mom looked at me who was following her.

“You sit, Ma.” I looked at him confused.

“You sit there.” Mama looked towards the sofa that Hendra was sitting on. Ouch. My time will be scolded again? Didn't I get enough of her scolding just now?

“How can you do this to my grandson? You guys let them all night in a sad state? Don't you know how to communicate with children? Talk to them carefully. Not even go home and sleep well then work without knowing the condition of the child.” Mama looked at Hendra who could only lower her head.

“After Hadi and Dira are calm, I want you two to talk about your next plan. Don't just think about your own comfort. Think about what is best for the kids. Don't just be able to create but don't want responsibility.” I opened my mouth to hear that word. I immediately closed the ears of Hadi who was sitting by my side.

We watched the children's movie until Dira and Hadi wanted to part ways briefly from their father. Mama even accompanied them to enter the workspace with us so they believed that their father did not leave. Mama glared at me before closing the door.

“Why am I always to blame?” I sighed softly.

“You are Mama's daughter, of course Mama blames you. My mama will be so to me too,” Hendra said casually. I looked at him carefully. “What's up?”

“Why do you call her mama? Usually you call with Aunt Anya.”

“There are more important things than discussing a nickname, Za.” He sat in one of the chairs. I sat across from him. “So, what's the solution from you?”

“You who have the idea of vacationing together by taking me along, then go home without saying goodbye to them. Oh, and one more. Avoiding Hadi's questions whenever he asks you to stay with us,”. “What is the solution from you, dear Mr Hendra?”

“Happy? Who's happy you stay here with us?” my protest.

“I'll try to explain our situation to them. Maybe in a few days I can come back to live in my apartment.” Of course he only stayed for a while. He has no intention of staying here with us.

“Good. That's a good suggestion.” I immediately agreed. “You will go home to pick up your clothes or return to the office?”

“I've closed the meeting today. My next job I can do from here.” He looked around his office. “Please, tell Kafin to get him back to the apartment and take some of my needs and Ara.”

“I'll ask Liando to come with him.”

“It's even better.” He stood up and approached his desk. I walk towards the door. “Za.” I stopped and looked towards him. “I'm sorry I made you hard.” Not knowing how to respond, I just smiled.

Hadi and Dira are back. They played with Ara and Papa and Mama in the room. The solution is just that simple for them. Papa they came, and everything went back to normal. But not so for me. Temporary. How many days or weeks does Hendra mean by the word in the meantime?

We've kissed a few times and almost made love for a week at the villa. If he stays here longer than that, maybe Papa and Mama's hope of having a fourth grandson will be realized. I can't let that happen. I want us to have relationship certainty before we make any more physical contact.

“Mama!” Hadi ran over to me. She hugged me by giving her smiling face to me. Hm. There must be a wish. “Come, Ma. I'm ready to go to school.” Just be right.

“You missed your school hours. You can't manage when you come and go home from school, son.” Even though I had been bullied by her behavior since this morning, I couldn't deny that I loved her. I stroked her hair.

“If my son says he wants to go to school, then he will go to school.” Hendra's voice came from behind me. I looked at him and looked at him in disbelief.

“Papa!” Hadi immediately ran to embrace her. Now he forgot about his mother.

“The learning hours are over. Would you like to take him to another class? Teacher and his friends are no longer the same person,” I said.

“Not a problem. I'll talk to the principal.” He pulled out his phone. “Please, read the number to me.”

“No. You're just gonna embarrass me. Have you never been to school before?” I immediately rejected the strange idea.

“My mom always does this. I can go to school anytime I want no matter if it's my class or not.”

“That's the same as you not teaching discipline to our son,” I said seriously.

“Are you saying that my mother did not teach me discipline?” He squinted his eyes, offended by my words earlier. A laugh filled the room. I looked towards the direction the sound came from. Dira who is in Mama's lap looks at us with a happy smile.

“Are you guys done? Can we have lunch now? I'm already hungry.” Mama looked at me and Hendra alternately.

“Papa and Ara will stay here with us, ‘kan?” ask Hadi expectantly. The puppy barked glad to hear his name called. I heard my parents holding back their laughter. Irritatingly. “Papa won't go again, ‘kan?”

“Iya. Papa and Ara will stay here.” Again the puppy barked.

“Horeee ..!” Hadi hugged Hendra tightly. “Then, when is the wedding held, Pa?”
