Father's Status On My Son's Deed
53. Meet Asha

As Aji got down from the car, he looked at Asha with teary eyes. Didn't expect to finally be able to meet that woman after all these years. Asha was still as beautiful as before, nothing had changed at all. Only once now was simpler perhaps because of his residence that was in the countryside. When we were together, it was simple especially now.

Slowly the man moved his legs, eager to run and immediately embraced the wife. But he wanted to enjoy this moment. Moreover, Asha was also hugging the son, unaware of Aji's existence there. The man did not want to interfere with the interaction of the child and the mother, until he heard Khairi talking about him.

It was then that Asha raised her head and the eyes of the two. So great a longing emanated from their eyes, it could not be lied to if the love was still there and so great. Their distance is getting thin, it makes the condition of both is not okay. His body felt so cold, his heart was beating irregularly.

Once it was close and only a few steps remained, Asha actually rewinded her body. Between believing and not if in front of him was really the man who filled his heart. Accidentally, Asha almost fell because her foot tripped over a chair. It was fortunate that Aji immediately caught the woman and hugged her tightly.

Asha just silently stared. Both hands he let hang on both sides of his body, without returning the embrace of the husband. At this time his brain is not able to think clearly, all feels like a dream, while Aji continues to hug his wife. Although he knew he didn't get the welcome, but the man didn't care.

Right now the important thing for him was to bring Asha home. He would try his hardest to bring the woman back to where she should be. Aji would do anything for his wife. If the woman does not love him, she will try to pursue him. Think of it as an effort to get love because it used to not try at all, that's Aji's determination.

He never struggled to find the love of his wife. Now that the man has a chance, Aji will use everything with the best. This time, whatever he's gonna do.

"I'm sorry for everything, I've sinned against you, I'm sorry" Aji muttered continuously between his arms with his wife.

Bik Ika herself looked at him with teary eyes, not expecting the end of this day to come as well. It had been a long time since he had waited, so good God could still allow them to meet. Although I do not know how the relationship will be in the future.

Asha awoke from her daydream. He immediately pushed Aji's body, his tears were no less swift. Between happy sad disappointed everything mixed into one, not knowing what to behave like. She never thought she would see him again today.

Whether what was the intention of the man's arrival, he hoped that his arrival would not be a disaster, which would later separate him from Khairi. Asha would not be able to part with her son. During this time the child is the source of strength in him, somehow later if it must be separated.

"Mas, what's it going to do to come here?" asha asked with a trembling voice.

"I deliberately wanted to see you, I've been looking all over the place, but I don't know where you are. Why don't you ever go back home? Both of our parents are waiting for you, they are worried about you, afraid something will happen" Aji replied.

Asha shook her head quickly, still vividly remembering how determined the father was to separate her and Khairi. Though at that time he had begged not to separate him and the baby, but Papa Roni did not want to know and stick to his wishes. Asha finally chose to give up and leave their lives.

"Mama, why did you throw papa out? Papa just got home. All this time we always wait for papa to come home, why now when Papa comes home even Mama kicked him out? If papa leaves, I'll go with papa too" said Khairi with teary eyes.

Just now he was happy to hear that he had a papa and was currently together, but the mother did not want to and kicked him out. Inwardly, the boy thought that if his mother was still angry with the father, that was why Khairi did not want them to separate. As her papa wishes that she should help Aji to get sorry.

Asha approached the son, crouched down in front of him and said, "Honey, that's not what it means. Actually he's not pa—"

"Asha!" sahut Aji with bulging eyes, he does not want Khairi to know if he was born without a father. Especially if it came to knowing the origin of its existence, it would definitely be extremely painful for the child. Aji knows very well how the life of his wife and child has been without him. How will Khairi mentally know the truth.

The man also asked Bik Ika, who he only realized was there to bring Khairi into the house. Aji will talk to Asha from heart to heart first.

"No want! I don't want to go into the house. Later papa will leave," Khairi refused by continuing to hide behind Aji. The boy pulled his papa shirt strongly.

Aji also gave understanding to the child to want to enter the house. He promised to see her again later after talking to Asha. He will enter the house as well. Finally, with the persuasion of Bik Ika and Amira, Khairi will enter the house and will wait for his father inside.

"Are you going to tell Khairi the truth? Didn't you say that I'm his papa to keep his feelings? Why is it that now that I've come you even want to destroy everything? Don't you think about his feelings and his heart? He has suffered enough so far, not to add to it," said Aji slowly even though his heart was now very emotional.

"Know what you have been with our suffering all this time? We are used to living in this house. All this time we were fine, not lacking anything. Your arrival here has disrupted my life. Aren't we divorced so why else would you come here? It's better for Mas to go and pretend not to know where I am. I hope Mas also did not tell papa and mama," Asha said with excitement.

Although in his heart he was eager to meet both of his parents, but his wits refused. Somehow their current state, Asha wished they were fine. During this time the woman also always dreamed of meeting her father and mother, who always asked her to come home soon, but she was too afraid of the reality that turned out to be not as she wanted.

"Is your life really okay? Then why in school Khairi actually had to be bullied by his friends? Even getting unfair treatment by his teachers."

Asha frowned, she did not understand the man's intentions and asked, "What do you mean, Mas?"
