Father's Status On My Son's Deed
38. Asha is gone

Early in the morning Aji was ready with his clothes so neat. He can't wait to meet his wife. His appearance is now also like before even though his body is thinner now than before. However, it did not diminish the good looks that the man had. A smile continued to expand on his lips.

Having not met his wife alone has made him so happy, how about when they can live together. Aji wanted to immediately express her feelings to his wife. All this time he always harbored his feelings because he felt it was only a temporary feeling. Now that he was parting, he was sure that he really loved his wife.

"Good morning, Pa, Ma. I go first" said Aji as her parents enjoyed breakfast.

"Hey! It's still morning, you don't have breakfast?" call Mama Tia before her son actually leaves.

"Later on, Ma, I can't wait to meet Asha and my son."

"Yes, but it's still morning. You have breakfast first, if you don't eat breakfast you won't let you go."

"But, Ma ...."

"Here you go, let's sit down!"

Inevitably, Aji finally obeyed the wishes of the mother for breakfast first, rather than later he was not allowed to go.

After finishing breakfast, Aji said goodbye to go to Asha's house. Along the way he continued to smile, impatient to get to his second-in-law's house. The man could only imagine the expression on the wife's face upon seeing her arrival. The funny face of the son that continues to exist in his dreams.

Until it did not feel the car entered the yard of the parents Asha's house. Such a big house. However, it looks so quiet even in front of the car papa Roni is ready. Maybe he'll go to the office. Aji must quickly enter before everyone leaves with their respective activities.

"Assalamualaikum," said Aji while knocking on the door, to open the door of the house and looked like a woman that Aji did not recognize at all. However, judging from her appearance it seemed like she was the maid in this house.

"Sorry, who are you? Who'd you meet?" ask the woman.

"I'd like to meet Papa Roni and Mama Nisa. Do they exist?"

Hearing the names of her two in-laws is called making the woman automatically nod her head. He was sure the guests who came to know the owner of the house, as evidenced by the call of papa and mama pinned.

"They're having breakfast, please come in! I'll call you."

Aji was only annoying even though she was curious as to who the woman really was. When he married Asha, he did not see the woman. Never even seen it before. However, Aji did not care. The important thing now is to meet the wife. He sat in the living room, waiting for his two in-laws to come out. Maybe they're finishing their breakfast now.

"Son Aji, what's going on here? want to give a divorce letter to Asha? If so, you better go home. There's no point in you coming here either" asked Roni flatly.

He knows if his daughter made a mistake, but Aji also made a mistake because he could not look after his wife. Regardless of Asha being pregnant with someone else's child or not.

Rice had already become porridge, the regret he felt was truly excruciating. If he had defended Asha back then, it wouldn't have been like this. Everyone had already excommunicated him, no one had defended him, leaving him injured and choosing to leave even without carrying anything.

"No, Pa. instead I came here to pick up my wife," she replied making Mama Nisa and Papa Roni look at each other, as if they did not understand what Aji wanted.

Could it be that the man wanted to take Asha and torture her at home? Isn't that so cruel? Didn't he think about the feelings of his wife who had been hurt so much?

"Why did you pick up Asha? Do you want to torture her so she feels what you've been feeling all along?"

Aji shook his head quickly. He could not possibly do that because right now in his heart there was love for Asha and their child. He was not a cruel person to do that either.

"No, Pa. Instead I want to apologize to Papa, Mama also Aisyah and Khairi. I know that you've made such a big mistake that you won't be able to forgive, but I really came to pick Asha up and bring her home. I realized I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Pa, Ma." Aji knelt down in front of Papa Roni, apologizing to the in-laws for all his mistakes.

Papa Roni was surprised, he asked Aji to get up and return to his seat. Take a deep breath and slowly throw it away. The feeling of tightness is again felt considering what happened in this house.

"You're also sorry, it's too late" replied Papa Roni in a soft voice.

"free of charge? What does free mean? Don't you want to apologize to me?" asked Aji with a sad feeling.

Papa Roni shook his head. "That's not what I mean, but after leaving this house he's not living here anymore."

"Where is he now, Pa? I'll pick her up wherever she goes. I'll take her home."

"That's the problem, Papa has absolutely no idea where he's going. She ran away on the way home from your house that day."

Aji was surprised to hear this, it felt like he did not want to believe the news delivered by the in-laws. It is very hard to accept in the head.

Meanwhile, Mama Nisa was just crying. Every time he remembered the princess that could be done just that, lamenting her stupidity that could not understand Asha's feelings. She is a mother and a woman.

"If Asha had run away at that time, why didn't Papa and Mama tell me?"

"If we tell you, what can you do? Didn't you tell him to go home? You divorced her too. We have no reason to tell you the truth. You and Asha also no longer have a relationship. Remembering the word talak you have said. That baby is not your son either."

Aji felt cornered by the sentence delivered by the in-laws. At that time, he did not want the existence of Asha and her son, but all because of forced upon the wishes of both parents.
