Between the Three Hearts
Chapters. 62 DTH

Hanum returns home, today he has no job and a photo shoot off. He already knew if both his parents picked up a girl drifting in the river at that time, Hanum did not mind because he was also rarely at home and no one accompanied his mother.

Ica saw Hanum sitting in the living room reading a fashion magazine, walked up to Hanum and tried to get along.

"Sister?" call Ica punctuated by a thin smile.

Hanum put the magazine on the table and raised next to his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? You got a problem?" ask her by leaning on the couch.

Ica shakes. "May I sit here?"

Hanum puts his shoulder around and then he picks up his phone.

Ica looks awkward, for some reason she feels that Hanum does not seem to have an inner bond with her. Seen from the way Hanum treated Ica, very different from an older brother who treated his sister. Ica like a stranger in Hanum's eyes.

"Sister, how's your job?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about my work? You want to work like me too? Stop, Aulia. You should be at home and your job is to accompany Mother, you do not need to follow my footsteps because we are different" said Hanum at length.

"Sorry, brother. I just asked and there was no intention of working as a model. I don't have the talent for that" Ica said .

"Good."

Soon, Siska and Bahri enter the house along with Ali and Umi. Hanum already understood what they meant to come to this house, he just put on a face cuey even his eyes did not switch from the phone.

Umi shook her head to see the behavior of her prospective daughter-in-law, she actually pity Ali if she has to marry Hanum who incidentally is a stubborn and disrespectful woman. However, Umi must support the son because both Hanum's parents have helped them pay off debts to loan sharks. If at that time both Hanum's parents did not help Ali and Umi, then their fields that were not so wide will be taken by the loan shark.

At that time, Umi fell ill until Ali was confused about how to choose between treatment or pay off debt. Ali decided to pay for the treatment of the Umi until finally their debt was due and the loan shark could not wait any more time. Ali's late father was a drunk and a gambler until he owed moneylenders money and when he died, he left behind a considerable debt.

"Hanum, please take care of your attitude. Didn't you see any guests here?" Bahri reprimands Hanum who doesn't care at all.

Hanum only glanced at his guest for a moment then he went back to playing mobile phone. While Ica, she was already sitting politely on the sofa. Umi salutes the courtesy of the adopted children Bahri and Siska, if only you can have, then Umi will choose Ica as her son-in-law candidate. Her parasites were prettier than Hanum, her modesty was also awake.

They all sat on the couch.

"Hanum, Umi and Ali came here to say about the match between the two of you" Bahri told Hanum, who received no response.

Siska apologizes for Hanum's perhaps outrageous behavior in Umi's eyes as well as Ali's. Umi understood all that, she only smiled thinly but her heart was so sad to see Hanum's attitude.

"Braggu!" warning from Bahri for Hanum.

Hanum got up from the sofa, he folded his hands in front of his chest and stared at everything in the living room.

"Does Father and Mother not understand what I said at that time? How many times have I told you that I don't want to be betrothed to him!" Hanum pointed at Ali's face which seemed to remain calm.

"Hanum, take care of your attitude!" said the Father.

"Why, hm? What's wrong with my attitude, Dad!" hanum yelled with emotion as his parents insisted on matching him with Ali.

Bahri dampened his anger, he could not be rude in front of the candidates and his daughter-in-law.

"The bottom line is, until I don't want to marry that pretentious man!" Hanum went running up the stairs to his room.

Everyone could only stare at Hanum's departure with their own thoughts.

"It's okay, Mr. Bahri. If Hanum isn't ready, then we can't force him. Maybe, Father or Mother can persuade Hanum later and talk slowly with him. Ali's gonna wait, isn't he, son?" Umi holds Ali's shoulder.

Ali just nodded, he occasionally stole a glance at Ica who was just silent from earlier.

After they talked for a long time, Umi and Ali finally decided to leave. As they had left, Ica caught up with Bahri and Siska who were already in front of Hanum's room door.

"Hanum, get out! Hanum, open the door!'' bahri shouted while knocking on Hanum's room door.

Hanum put earphones in his ears, he turned on the music with a sound loud enough that he did not hear the call from the father.

"What is that kid? Really....'' Bahri asks Siska to take the spare key, and Siska opens the door and sees Hanum.

"She was lying down and putting up earphones, it's appropriate not to hear a call from you, Dad" Siska told Bahri.

Bahri went inside Hanum's room with quick steps, she pulled the earphones in Hanum's ears until Hanum was surprised. His eyes glared when he saw that his parents were already in the room.

"Dad, Mother, why did you get into this room?" asked Hanum fearlessly.

"Who did you forget whose house this is? Of course we can both enter this room without asking permission or waiting for you to open the door. Hanum, we're sorry that you've been spoiling you so much that your attitude has become as outrageous as it is now. You forget the politeness, behavior towards parents, Kramah and adab that we have taught so far. You've been a dissident child as long as you work out of town." explained the Papa at length.

"Why do Mom and Dad blame me? This is all the fault of Father and Mother who made their own decisions without asking me first!"

"We deliberately set you up with Ali because he's a good man and can certainly guide you, son." said Siska gently as she stroked Hanum's hair.

"But I don't like it, Bun!" hanum shouted until his neck veins stiffened.

Plaque!

A slap landed on Hanum's cheek, only this time the Father was being rude to him. Hanum just gawked while holding the hot cheek. He looked at the father with a sad look.

"Like it or not, it's no big deal, Hanum! As time goes on, you can definitely like Ali."

Hanum. "Egoo father, Bad father!" yelling and getting out of bed, Hanum took the cardingan and the car keys and the bag. He wanted to leave the house to calm his mind.

"Hanum, where are you going? Hanum, I'm not done talking!'' bahri shouted already filled with frustration.

Hanum did not care, he continued walking past Ica who had been silent in the doorway.

"I will replace brother Hanum to marry bang Ali" Ica said confidently and surely.

It made Hanum's steps stop as well as Bahri and Siska who were shocked to hear the words of their adopted son.

Everyone stared at Ica who seemed to be nodding his head.
