While in Jogja, Aziel continued to buy Atiqah. That's one way to protect the Atiqah from Ardi. And Ardi inevitably assented all his son's ridiculous desires, including sleeping in the next room where Aziel should have slept.
Aziel was a smart child, when in front of Ardi behaved like Atiqah was Aunty, his uncle's wife. But when only two, Aziel was so spoiled for Atiqah. Replying for years to parting.
"I'm going to Jakarta next week. Company owner title transfer event. Aziel here. Satisfied with both of you time. Next month, he will have to return to Canada" Ardi told Atiqah on the pavilion terrace. Atiqah was sitting down enjoying a cup of tea with her assistant Rizka. Aziel was going to the garden with Thunder.
"Hemm .." replied Atiqah. She does not care about what her husband does.
Honestly, Ardi was upset that Atiqah ignored him. I wanted to drag him into my room and teach him a lesson. But Atiqah has been very lucky lately. Many people were protecting her, including Aziel. Ardi can't wiggle.
"Don't make it take my son away!" whispered Ardi while bending his hands and squeezing the right shoulder of Atiqah.
"I'm his mother! he's my son!" timpal Atiqah whispered full of pressure.
"Whatever!" Ardi got angry and went out of the house somewhere.
Atiqah smiled at Rizka. Rizka who had met her husband several times, chose silence. Just wash it off lazy. Rizka goes to war and doesn't like Ardi. Rizka wept as her superior poured out her heart separated by her own son.
"Sister, why the hell is brother still surviving with that guy? Aziel has already given the green light for sister to find a new partner who really loves the same sister. I've been sprained every time I meet that guy. I want to see that face. The handsome but the heart of the devil" said Rizka. His emotions will explode.
"You know why I'm still holding on. How else do I have to be? my happiness is only Aziel. I know my son's heart isn't that strong. He was also disappointed to have such parents. I know my son is sad, Rizka. I love Ziel" replied Atiqah.
"No brother. Aziel was happier to see that brother was happy, but not the same person. Aziel himself said that, brother. I am sad to see this sister. Mending brother thought again Ziel's words. Ask for the opinion of Guntur mas." added Rizka.
Atiqah was silent, sipping her tea again. He was thinking.
In the garden, Aziel went around and picked some vegetables to take home. Aziel wanted to make a special meal for her mother.
"Om, can you help me?" asked Aziel while carrying a container containing spinach vegetables.
"What help?" ask Thunder.
"Help me out of Uncle" Aziel replied. He did not want to call Ardi Dad.
"Om going to help but your mom won't. Your mother was afraid she would never see you again. That's a strong threat from your father" Thunder said.
"Don't tell mom! It's a plan between the two of us" Aziel continued, with her index finger in front of her lips.
"But you don't want your mother to be sad, Ziel," Thunder refused.
"Please Om, help me. I love mom. You can still see me, I guarantee it," he added.
Thunder seemed to be thinking. Whether you agree or not.
*****
A week passed. Atiqah was arguing with Ardi in the lounge of the pavilion. Aziel swims in watch mbok Jum.
"I want to come with you to Jakarta. I'm taking Ziel to see mom. I don't want my parents to meet their grandchildren. Don't let the past repeat itself!" atiqah said to Ardi.
"No! I do not permit you to go to Jakarta. Stay here!" Ardi refused firmly.
"Whatever! agree or no, I still bring Aziel to Jakarta!" Atiqah snapped at Ardi.
"If so, why? I told you, I'm sick of you. I'm tired, I'm tired." Atiqah is very tired.
"I'm your husband! you are my wife whenever you want! don't you know either?" Ardi held the arm of Atiqah firmly.
"What kind of husband? you're not a husband, you're a demon!" Atiqah shouted at Ardi.
The loud noise of the mouth was heard all the way to the swimming pool. Mbok Jum who just sat watching Aziel, heard it very clearly. Hurriedly he contacted Thunder to come immediately. Mbok Jum is afraid something will happen to Atiqah.
Plaque plaques...
Two slaps landed on the right and left cheeks of the Atiqah alternately. The corner of his lips was injured. Atiqah pushed Ardi until his back hit the wall.
"Suck!" Ardi massaged his neck and then rose to pull the top of Atiqah clothes. Ardi punched Atiqah's right eye. Atiqah limbung and fell hit the nightstand. A table lamp made of urns fell on his head.
Prangs...
Atiqah's head was wounded, bleeding. His face was scarred by a splinter urn. His voice was so loud that it was heard by Jum and Aziel.
"Mbok .. "call Thunder as Jum and Aziel descend the steps towards the pavilion.
"Snap, Tour! Want me crungu ono broken goods (Quick Thunder! I heard something broke)," exclaimed mbok Jum while holding Aziel's towel-clad shoulder.
"Yes, help mom" Aziel said.
Thunder nodded then forcefully opened the pavilion door. His eyes were round looking at the condition of the semi-conscious Atiqah. While Ardi sat down to squeeze his hair, leaning against the wall.
Thunder walked quickly, instantly pulling Ardi up. "Bang*sat!" punched him many times.
"Ibuuuu .. " cried Aziel. He holds the head of Atiqah on his thighs. Blood is everywhere. Atiqah smiled, her right eye bruised. Only a little bit of his eyes could he open.
Mbok Jum was confused, he chose to run out calling the guard in front.
"Ziel, mother's son," said Atiqah. Ziel.
"Yes mom, this is Ziel. I hold on, we'll take mom to the hospital soon. I have to stay with Ziel" Aziel said in tears.
Atiqah's hand stretched out caressing Ziel's cheek, "So good boy. I love Ziel, "he said again. His voice was almost gone.
"Tur, wes wes. Gowonen mbak Atiqah. Den Ardi's business, my business (Thunder, it's already. Bring the Atiqah first. Ardi's business, let it be my business)," said mbok Jum, two guards are behind him ready to take care of Ardi who was sprawled due to Thunder's blow.
Thunder carried Atiqah, Aziel continued to cry following Thunder to the courtyard of the house.
"Mom, you have to be strong. Ziel is with mom here" said Ziel hugging Atiqah's head. He sat his mother in the middle seat.
Thunder drove the car towards the hospital. Ardi was taken to the police station. Mbok Jum can no longer tolerate what Ardi is doing. Mbok Jum remembered Subroto's message.
Before Subroto had a stroke, he always advised on Mbok Jum to take care of Atiqah. Although Ardi is his favorite grandson, Subroto knows how to approach Ardi.
Seriate...
