Chapter 47 Return of Zaki

One month has passed. My days at home are also very different now because of the presence of baby Misela. He's a very good baby never fussy and still likes to sleep whether it's day or night. So I never once overwhelmed taking care of him.

My condition has also recovered because I gave birth normally. Just a little bit there is still pain in my intimate part because of the postpartum stitches. In contrast to those who are born in a cecar should recover for a time of more than 3 months.

Even my puerperium has also finished since one week ago. I was able to work as usual and work again. I wasted a lot of time because we couldn't count on anyone else. Good thing I have a kind and understanding boss like Ms. Dania.

My daughter and co-workers have all visited Misela. In fact they leave a lot of gifts for baby Misela. I will not be dizzy for the needs of baby Misela at this time because of the gifts from the neighbors as well.

Mother also prefers to stop working in the market she said she wants to focus on taking care of her only grandchild. We have also agreed that Mother takes care of baby Misela and only I work to support the family.

I'm going back to work at Ms. Dania's shop. Because Bu Dania is already in desperate need of employees, lately the store is quite crowded visitors.

Before work I will pump the breast for stock during my stay at work because if the money is divided to buy formula my salary will not be enough for all of us for one month. Let baby Misela asi be exclusive for 6 full months. That's also the advice of midwives.

If I sif mornings Hanan always picks me up. But if sif noon I walk alone but go home picked up Hanan. So it continues every day. I was still always troublesome to Hanan even though I rejected her she never wanted to listen to me. I just don't want him to be the subject of people's gossip.

At the store Ms. Dania.

"Congratulations da...tang.!" my normally spirited voice suddenly suffocated to see who entered the shop where I worked.

Yes I was astonished to see the figure of a man with after a gray shirt was holding hands with a beautiful girl who wore a luxurious dress typical of famous designers. I know them. He is Zaki and Sinta. We also took a moment.

"Adel?" Zaki's voice called my name.

"Eh Adelia the smartest student in school works at a cheap bakery like this isn't wrong?" Sinta started insulting me.

"Take your mouth Sin." Bentar Zaki's.

"I'm really sad the fate of you for what try loe hard-earned school but just be a change employee like this haha." Sinta didn't listen to Zakihe came back to make fun of me but I won't accept the insults.

"Yes you were right Sin Kasian once my fate. I've worked so hard to reach my goal that I can go to college and change my fate but be destroyed by a man with no brain like him." My cetus.

"What do you mean? You want to say that Ka Zaki is the man you mean? Don't dream of loe?" Sinta didn't accept what I said. It seems Sinta doesn't know everything.

"Loe asked him?" I point my index finger at Zaki. Staring sharply full of anger.

"So stop us from going to another store." Zaki looks nervous and invites Sinta away.

"I haven't finished talking to him yet." Sinta insists on staying inside the store but Zaki pulls her by force.

"Don't make a fuss."

They also left the store where I worked.

I breathed a little relieved because before the tightness in the chest suddenly came just like that.

But after seeing them get in the car and leave suddenly my legs became weak helpless when I sat on the floor. I'm silent perverted. Ka Hesti held both of my shoulders.

"Del you don't papa? Should I call Hanan?" Ask Ka Hesti.

I just shook my head.

"Ka help me sit down." Ka Hesti then cleared me to the cashier's side. Fortunately, there were not many visitors at the time. Maybe if I did I wouldn't be able to vanish my heart that hurt because of Zaki's treatment.

How could a man like that be on me. After taking my chastity she left with no news and now even cool with other women. Can't he ask me and his son. I was overwhelmed with profound pain. Try if Hanan sees him there will definitely be a fistfight between them

"Don't tell Hanan about this. That person was the one who ruined my life. If Hanan knew it might be long."

Ka Hesti just nodded her head.

My work hours are over. Today I was sif early in the morning so at two o'clock I'm home. Finally I can go home and meet baby Misela.

I went home by myself because Hanan wasn't done yet.

The weather is not so hot this afternoon. There were many black clouds passing through the sun that made my journey comfortable.

I walked casually on the sidewalk looking around a not so crowded.

"Del wait." Someone called me from behind. I tried to turn my body.

"Zaki's? Why are you following me?" I didn't think she would dare to meet me but this time she was alone without Sinta again. At least I don't need to waste my energy arguing with Sinta.

"Del I'd like to talk to you for a minute. Do you have time? Please Del." Zaki pleaded with his harrow face.

I really don't want to see him but maybe he'll give me a reasonable reason not to hate him. Or I really want to hear how he's been doing all this time.

Finally I took her to sit on a wooden chair under a tree on the side of the sidewalk.

Long enough Zaki didn't start his words. Maybe he was looking for an excuse or he was confused about where to start.

"I'm sorry Del." Zaki said he started our meeting.

"I'm sorry? That's as easy as you apologize for what I've been through even I failed to get my college scholarship because of you."

"Gue know you're suffering a lot because I'm Del. That's why I want to apologize to you. It's up to you to excuse me or not. But Del I avoided loe because I was threatened by Papah. If until Papah knows I call loe or meet this way you will be made wretched even Mother Loe will also be doomed." Zaki explained with a blank look. But I saw a deep regret there.

"Why do you want to see me now, Zak?"

"My father was again treated at Del Hospital now his condition is in a coma. So I don't think Papah will know our meeting. I also came back because of the news that Papah was sick. But it's also good because I can meet Elo Del."

"What's? Ibnu's sir in the care?"

"Gue returned from Singapore just this morning because he knew Papah was in a coma. Sinta forced me to make a stop at the store where you work she said to buy a cake as a souvenir. He doesn't know he works there. At first I refused but he kept on making. I finally participated. I was never going back to Indonesia because I could not meet loe let alone our son."

"You know everything?"

"Gue knew you were pregnant and you were going to kill yourself at the time. I'm also Del who made Papah to pay the cost of the elo hospital on condition that I will not see you again. I'm selling it because I know Aunt will definitely be confused with the cost of care loe."

"So you'll be taken without seeing me. Do you not give me an explanation? You just want to leave? Do you have Zak's heart..hiksss...!" My tears broke hearing Zaki knowing my condition back then.

"Sorry I'm Del sorryin. I can't do anything. I know Papah will actually hurt you if I don't know what he said All that I do because I had to be in Papah's threat. If until I deketin loe I'm sure Papah will not hesitate to make you more miserable I know Papah I Del."

Zaki tried to hold my hand but I brushed it off. I don't want to hear anything from him anymore. I got up from my seat and left.

"Del please understand my situation at that time."

I don't mind Zaki. I sped up my steps so I wouldn't hear her anymore.

If the reason is because of Papah's threat it can't be accepted. How could a man be that weak. I'm sure she would rather treasure than a poor woman like me. I should have realized long ago that I couldn't be with him because of our caste differences.

"Assalamu'alaikum Ma'am."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Mother has come."

"Mother wash your hands first, baby."

After I put the bag down I went to the bathroom to clean myself up before holding baby Misela.

"Ohh, Mother Pinter's son." I hugged my son warmly. I close my eyes but suddenly I see Zaki's face in my darkness.

"Why are you Del suddenly upset?"

"Mom Adel met Zaki."

"What's? How dare he meet you after everything you've been through because of him. Never believe his words, son. Let him get a reply from God." Mother who heard the name Zaki was also upset and several times stomped her feet because of her irritation.

"Bu Zaki said she threatened her Papah so that me and Mom would not get hurt. Zaki knows everything, too, Mom. Zaki knows Adel is pregnant and is about to commit suicide. Zaki paid off the cost of Adel's hospital that time. Don't you know?"

"What's? I only know when Asep will pay for your treatment at that time everything is paid off. Asep doesn't know who paid for it. But Nak Zaki knows about your condition but he hasn't seen you in a year? Brengs*k male base."

"Mom don't be no good swearing. Zaki's been in Singapore all this time, ma'am, he's been there."

"But you should not be influenced, son. I don't want you not to be willing to be like him. I'd rather agree you're with Hanan."

Mom just kept getting angry. I can only hear because what Mother said was a lot of truth. But the worry approached me.
