Father's Status On My Son's Deed
29. Decisions

Aji was surprised to hear the question from her mother. “What does Mama mean? Of course Khairi is my son" said Aji.

“Surely he's your son, Aji? Tell me honestly, Mama. Sure it's your son?” tia asked once more with an angry look.

Aji was glued, the tone of the mother's voice was very firm and sounded angry. Instantly Aji thought that if her mother came here it must be because of Naura. Only the girl had the possibility of being able to know the secret. Naura could have heard him when she and Asha were talking about the aqiqah for Khairi earlier.

“Iya, Tia. How could it be that Khairi is not the son of Asha with Aji. It's obvious, isn't it? Aji just admitted it?” nisa asked looking disappointedly at Aji's parents. On what basis does the woman suspect and accuse that Khairi is not Aji's son.

“Asha, tell me the truth. You don't cover anything from us. Don't you be the woman who doesn't know yourself and frame our only child. Do you have the heart for us, huh?”

Asha lowered her head, suddenly her eyes felt hot and instantly flowed a single tear from her pretty eyes.

“Tia, please take care of your words to Asha. If you mean, Asha's having an affair, I don't think so. Our son is not that kind of person!” nisa's protesting loudly. He had already educated his daughter well, it was impossible to do something immoral.

“I didn't accuse Asha of cheating. I just ask Asha, with all honesty and I as a woman who has given birth to Aji, I am not willing and not ridho if my child is doneholimi like this!” tia exclaimed by pointing right at Asha's face.

A debate ensued between the two old men, while Aji stared confusedly at the debate. Asha tried to hold back the cries, but obviously everything spoken by Tia pierced the recesses of her heart. True said his father-in-law, he had dzolim to the husband, should not he do that.

“Ma, Khairi Aji's. On what basis do you not trust Aji and Asha?” Aji spoke out loud.

“If so, do a DNA test, then Mama will believe after the test results come out!” Tia insisted.

Aji looked at the mother in disbelief. Also with everything there except Asha who did not dare to raise her head an inch.

Asha tightened her eyes firmly, also with her hand so that the books in her hand turned white. An inner war occurred in his heart, one side wanted him to confess, the other side to keep him quiet.

“Khairi is not Mas Aji's son!” said Asha finally made the debate that happened there subside instantly and get a sharp look of surprise from all of them. Even with Aji who did not expect the words to come out of Asha's mouth. “Sorry, for lying to all of you.”

Asha felt cornered by Tia's words, so she couldn't bear and resigned to what was about to happen. The woman will accept whatever everyone will do to her. Asha who was beside Aji also grabbed the son and hugged him. No matter what happens, he will always be with Khairi.

“Asha ..” Nisa spoke, but there was nothing she could say but mention her son's name. A look of disbelief and a hot melt of tears came out of my mother's eyes.

“Sorry, I lied to you all. I—“ Asha was speechless. The wounds in his heart were many from the past and now he must try again to face the consequences of the lies he has done.

Aji glanced at Asha at a glance and closed her eyes tightly. Sad that Asha admitted it. What will happen next can the man imagine and in fact now he does not want to part with Khairi. Which turned out secretly he had loved the child even though it was not his own flesh and blood.

Aji did not intend to love the child before, but when she first held him at the insistence of Tia time in the hospital, somehow there was a special feeling for the baby. A taste that even Aji did not understand what it was. After this he might lose it all

A disappointed sigh rang out from Harto's mouth, also with Roni's angry look towards Asha. Somehow Asha could do this bad thing to them. Lying to herself and Nisa. Not only all of them, but also their two. Roni and Nisa looked down embarrassed because of this incident.

Suddenly, Tia gave a small laugh as she remembered something, Harto looked at his wife in confusion. Likewise with everyone who was there, including Bik Ika who was secretly eavesdropping on the door between the living room and the living room. Now only he understood the reason his master had been sleeping separately. What a pity for Asha, I don't know who would do that.

“Oh, I know now. Never mind, before you got married, you already did it together with someone else, right? The date of birth of your child is still less if calculated from the date of your marriage. Honestly, Asha! Were you with someone else before marrying my son?” tanya Tia now stood up angrily while pointing out loudly to her daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile Asha lowered her head deeper and also started with her slow sobbing. His embrace of the son grew even tighter.

From there, Tia was sure if that was what happened.

“Ma, please. Don't talk carelessly.” Aji said while trying to calm the mother. However, Aji's hand was brushed off violently by Tia.

“Did you ever sleep together?" tia asked looking at the son. Aji was about to speak, but Tia had already cut off Aji's words that had just opened her mouth. “Aji, for Mama's sake. Be honest with your mom who gave birth to you. Have you ever slept together?” tanya Tia urged her son.

Aji breathed heavily. If the mother had spoken like that, then Tia was already very angry with him. “But.”

Asha shed tears. He's finished himself now. There was nothing else he could do to defend himself.

“We never slept together,” Aji said in the end.

“Iya.”

Asha felt more guilty. Not only Tia was disappointed, but Nisa and Roni were even more disappointed. While Harto looked compassionately at everyone who was there. During this time their relationship is very good, even very harmonious. After this he was sure everything would be smashed to pieces.

Nisa and Toni are ashamed of the disgrace her daughter has given her, she has no face to face with Aji's parents. Embarrassed by what Asha did, the two men loved and loved Asha with all their heart. All this time also trying to keep it, but why still like this.

“Why can't you guys take care of your own daughter, ha! You guys wanna play with us? You throw your daughter's disgrace and bestow it on us! You should be ashamed. Where is your responsibility so throw dirt on our faces!” tia's exclaiming made Toni and Nisa even more embarrassed.

Hearing the slur coming out of Tia's mouth, made Asha ventured to raise her head and look at the mother-in-law angrily.

“Ma, please don't talk rudely with my parents. They don't know shit. It's all my fault. It's not their fault!” pinta Asha to Tia.

Roni tightened her hand grip on the lap so that her handbooks turned white. “Asha, who is the father of the baby?” ask Tony in a heavy voice.

Asha looked down again, the tears were now getting louder and she could no longer bear to come out.

“Asha!” The louder the sound, but Asha decided to keep quiet. What's he supposed to say?

Sobs sounded very clearly in the room. Bik Ika who saw Asha on trial felt pity, but she could do nothing to help Asha. He could only pray that this matter would be quickly resolved. Bik Ika returned to Asha's room to accompany Khairi who was in deep sleep, without her knowing what was going on with her mother right now.

“Asha. You don't want to answer?” asked Toni while Asha was still silent. He looked at the princess who seemed unwilling to answer him at all.

Toni got up from her seat and pulled the arm of Asha violently, almost Khairi fell down. Fortunately, Asha hugged him tightly. Aji wants to help, but Mama Tia forbids it. Bik Ika immediately approached and took over the innocent baby. The woman knew very well how hard the employer would not hesitate to hurt people.

Roni looked at the princess who was grimacing in pain due to her stripes on Asha's arm. However, the man did not care. His current embarrassment was so great, that anger controlled him. He could no longer control his emotions and could no longer tolerate what his daughter was doing.

“Papa!” Nisa got up from her seat, but she couldn't let go of Toni's handrails from there. Angry has mastered himself Toni so that Nisa's call is not even he was bubris at all.

“Child doesn't know it's lucky! You've smeared your own parents' names! You have embarrassed us. Satisfied you, ha! Tell us who the father of the child is!” roni shouted loudly so that it filled Asha's ears.

Asha cried loudly, still saying nothing until Roni got more emotional. Finally subconsciously floated his palm onto Asha's cheek and left the five-finger mark red color there.

“Papa!” nisa shouted in disbelief, seeing her husband's treatment of Asha and making the princess fall to the floor. Even with Roni who was not aware of having done bad things to his daughter. The man really did not expect that emotions had taken hold of him so he committed violence to his own daughter.

Aji gasps at her father-in-law's harsh treatment of Asha. Just this time he saw Papa Roni was so rude. During this time the man only saw his two in-laws who were so indulgent to the wife, who would have thought if this time Aji saw violence, but he could not do anything because Tia held her hand. Asha's growing cry made her unbearable.

Bak sees a real drama in front of him, Aji can only be silent and see all that happens. Wanting to help, but Mama Tia's threat makes her freeze.

“One step, and you will get wrath from Mama,” Tia said firmly. Aji looked pityfully at Asha. His heart ached when he saw all of that. Especially since he could not be a husband who could fight for his wife. “She deserves it, Aji!”

Khairi cried, Bik Ika carried her and tried to calm her down. However, the boy kept crying and getting louder, thus overwhelming Bik Ika. The middle-aged woman was about to approach Asha. However, Asha shook her head for Bik Ika to stay away, it was also for the safety of her son. Asha was afraid that if she saw Khairi, Tia would be rude to her. Especially the papa who is currently really angry.

Bi Ika understood, she also chose to go to the room so that the baby did not hear the screams of her grandfather. As much as possible Bik Ika calmed the child despite the difficulties. This time, the door of Asha's room was closed so that no loud noise could disturb the child.

“I'm sorry, Tia, Harto. I apologize for everything that has happened, in particular I apologize on behalf of Asha. To Nak Aji, Papa apologized deeply and thanked Nak Aji for the kindness during this time for Asha. Nak Aji was willing to cover all this up. We do not know this and we are very sorry for what happened. Please forgive us,” said Roni who was embarrassed. Nisa to tears in front of the two. Shame and other mixed feelings in their hearts.

“Nak Aji's. Now it's up to Nak Aji. If Nak Aji is not pleased with the presence of Asha and Khairi, we will take Asha home,” Toni said embarrassedly.

“Of course you have to take him home! We are not willing to beat this despicable woman!” point Tia to Asha.

Aji wants to protest her mother's words, but Harto's hand checks to make Aji sit next to her again. This time he was really a useless husband because he could not protect his wife. When the marriage contract of the man promised to keep and make him happy.

Roni looked at Aji and Harto, the only two people who became her hope for the future of the princess. However, it doesn't seem to match what it wants.

“You must take responsibility for what your duty is. From now on, Aji no longer has any obligations towards Asha!” Harto spoke, making the final decision of this meeting.
