(Family) Bound
I'm Back

After leaving the hospital, Shaka stopped by Adrian's house to clean up. Shaka did not want to meet his family in a state of chaos, because it would only make them more worried. He has also told everything to Adrian, Adam, and Rendra. Just like him, their initial reaction was surprised when they heard the complicated drama in the Wongsonegoro family.

Shaka asks his family to drop the lawsuit against Fabian for the kidnapping he committed against him and his two friends. But for Vino's case, all he left to the sisters Hani and Rosi. For the case of Vino, the demands that can be done are excessive violence. Because basically, Vino died due to euthanasia proposed by sister Hani herself.

Shaka ran inside the house, impatient to meet his children. Although they often complain about the commotion they make every day, in fact it is precisely that thing that makes Shaka misses his children very much.

"Papaaaaaaaa..!!" Nara who first saw the arrival of Shaka immediately ran into his father's embrace.

"Princess papa." Shaka swiftly grabbed Nara's small body and carried her.

Shaka continued to hug and kiss Nara who immediately cried in her arms. Satria and Rania are the same. They immediately hugged Shaka and cried happily to see their father return safely. And Nara grew louder with fear when she saw the bandage on Shaka's head.

The larger Edo and Dit-dit can still control themselves. Although they are also very eager to hug Shaka, but the three choose to give their three little sisters a chance.

"How are you guys doing..?? Hmmm..??" Shaka asked as she alternately hugged Edo and Dit-dit.

"We're good, pa. Edo's brother always looked after us as long as papa and mama left." Reply Radit.

"Thank you, Ed. You've taken good care of your sisters." Shaka said while tightly hugging Edo's body.

"Papa's head why..??" Ask Adit worried.

Besides Edo, the other five children do not know that Shaka was injured when the kidnapping occurred.

"Small injuries only. You don't have to worry." Shaka replied as he patted Adit's shoulder gently.

"It's like this. Why aren't you guys asleep..??" Shaka asked when he saw the wall clock showing the time at 11.45 in the morning.

"They're all waiting for daddy. Even Nara would not sleep even though she was already sleepy." Edo answered while looking towards Nara who was yawning wide in Shaka's sling.

"Hey, princess. Papa's gone home. Princess sleep first." Shaka said as he patted Nara's back gently, leaning her head against his shoulder.

"Nara..??" Call Shaka when you don't get an answer from her little daughter.

"Nara's asleep, pa." Bisik Satria's.

"He must have been really sleepy." Said Shaka who was smiling happily looking at the peaceful face of Nara.

"Let me put Nara to sleep in her room. Papa take a break first." Radit said as he grabbed Nara's body. Shaka kisses Nara's forehead before Radit takes her to the little girl's room.

"Satria.. Rania. You guys are sleeping too." Shaka said while stroking Satria's hair.

Satria turned towards Adit and Edo. Adit patted Satria's shoulder and pointed at their room with his chin.

"Let's go get you to sleep." Adit said and followed Satria's steps.

"I'll sleep later. Papa has eaten..?? I've prepared dinner for papa." Ask Rania.

Shaka smiled. Her little girl is growing up every day.

"Of course papa wants. Papa is very hungry. But after preparing papa's meal, you should go to sleep. Equipment to be washed tomorrow." Answer Shaka.

Shaka is very hungry. During captivity they only get food rations once a day at dinner. And the previous day he also had not received food rations because at dinner they were already at the Wongsonegoro family home. He rejected Adrian's wife's offer to eat because he could not wait to go home.

Rania deftly prepared dinner for her father. Apparently he immediately cooked when he heard Shaka was going home. After finishing preparing food Rania went into his room. Radit walked over to Shaka and Edo who were sitting at the dining table.

Edo and Radit looked at each other as they saw Shaka eating fast and voraciously. Not like his habit all this time who always eat quietly.

"When was the last time daddy ate..??" Ask Edo curiously. Shaka turned to his two children and smiled.

"Nearly two days ago." Shaka replied casually and then resumed his meal. Edo and Radit are stunned to hear Shaka's answer.

"What..??!!" They cried almost simultaneously.

"During our captivity we were only fed once a day at dinner. It just so happened last night that we didn't have time to eat. But because of that, papa could go home." Shaka spoke as if what happened was not a scary thing.

"Drink this milk, pa." Adit said while putting a glass of warm milk in front of Shaka.

Apparently she had already returned from the room when Shaka started telling stories. Adit went straight to the kitchen and made milk for his father.

"What time is chemotherapy done tomorrow..??" Ask Shaka.

"At 9am." Answer Edo.

"Papa better rest first after that just meet mama. Papa's coming by now Mama must be sleeping." Radit said as if he understood what Shaka had in mind.

"Later 7 o'clock we also want to go to the hospital to accompany the chemotherapy mama. Papa can get there first. But for now it's better to take a break." Adit said he chimed in.

"They're right, dad. Moreover, the post chemo effect will make mama in pain. Daddy definitely needs extra energy to help take care of mom. So better daddy rest first." Said Edo. Shaka was silent at the advice of his three sons.

"alright. Then you're sleeping now. Papa will also sleep first after this." Shaka.

"Daddy to the room first. Let me be the same Dit-dit that's wrong." Edo Sahut. She takes care of the rest of Shaka's meal with Dit-dit's help.

*****

Shaka slowly opened the door of the president suite room. Kira is still asleep. Not far from Kira's bed, Edna and Darius were hugging in a hospital-prepared bed. She can't wait to meet Kira. Although very tired, he still could not sleep. Finally he decided to go to the hospital even though the time still shows at 04.20 am.

Slowly Shaka approached the baby box. He saw Dara was still asleep while Bara was awake. The baby boy was seen playing his lips funny. He continued to twist his gaze as if he was guarding his mother and twin sister.

Shaka kisses Dara, then holds Bara for a while while continuing to kiss her. Before long, Bara went back to sleep as if convinced that things were safe after his father came. Shaka sat beside Kira's bed and clasped her hands. He stroked Kira's head slowly and kissed her soft forehead.

Kira who felt disturbed slowly opened her eyes. After fully realizing Kira was fixated, unable to believe seeing Shaka in front of her.

"Bie..??" Call Kira lirih with a look of disbelief.

"Hi, honey. I returned. I'm home." Shaka. He wiped away Kira's tears that were beginning to come down.

"Bie, is this really you..?? You're home..??" Kira said again while tightly hugging her husband's body. Kira's cry exploded from happiness.

"Yes, honey. Its me. I'm home already." Sahut Shaka is sobbing. Shaka hugged Kira tightly and continued to kiss her head.

"Shaka..??" Call Darius.

Darius awoke to hear the sound of a prank. Besides Edna also woke up and tried to be fully aware.

"Saka..!! Honey..!! When are you back..??!!" Pekik Edna while approaching and hugging his daughter-in-law.

"Evening, ma." Shaka replied while replying to Edna's embrace. Darius approached Shaka and hugged him.

"You're really impatient. We came here early in the morning." Said Darius.

"I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about Kira all night." Shaka Sahut.

"Don't you know that Shaka was found..??" Ask Kira.

"Overnight Adam and Rendra gave word. But you're asleep. So papa meant to tell me this morning. But it turns out he's already come first." Darius was upset.

"Why is your head, Bie..??" Tanya Kira who was stroking the bandage on Shaka's head.

"Just a little bit hurt. It's healing soon." Shaka calms Kira.

"What hurts..??" Kira asked with a worried look.

"The pain disappeared after I met you again." Shaka answered and gently kissed Kira's pale lips.

"I love you and I miss you." Whisper Shaka while continuing to kiss Kira's face, ignoring the presence of her two in-laws in the room.

"Based on daughter-in-law there is no courtesy.There are only considered mosquitoes." Darius was upset.

"What's sich, pa..?? Let's go pray at dawn. The time is up." Take Edna.

"Yes. yaaa.." Darius Sahut.

"You want to pray, baby..??" Ask Shaka. Kira smiled and nodded.

The four of them prayed together with Shaka as his priest. Kira is unceasingly grateful for Shaka's safe return. His fear at the loss of Pierre is still present. Kira is not sure that she will be able to survive if something happens to Shaka until she finally loses her husband.
