Father's Status On My Son's Deed
54. The Asha house

Aji tells her all about what happened to Khairi at school to Asha. The woman was only able to shut up and listen to what the man in front of her said. He did not believe what the son had experienced because all this time, the child had never told anything about the incident at school. It is only fitting that if alluded to about school activities, Khairi is very lazy to tell stories. Different when in the early days of the child's school that looks so enthusiastic about telling his activities.

"I don't have any intention. What I said is reality. If you don't believe it, please ask the teachers there, if they want to be honest, otherwise I can't say anything more. I also don't know if there are CCTV cameras or not" Zaki said, staring at the woman in front of him, who was currently silent with her mind blank.

Asha took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. It seemed like he missed a lot of things about the development of the son. This time he had to act decisively, no one should hurt his son.

"Alright, thanks for the attention, but still you better get out of here. Let it be for my son's business, I'll take care of everything" concluded Asha who does not want Aji involved in his life anymore.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep up with you because I promised Khairi I'd see her." Aji immediately walked into the house.

Although Asha was trying to block Aji's move, but she couldn't beat the man's power. Of course, this makes Aji happy this time. He will not give up. Whatever he's gonna do. Especially now that there is Bik Ika, Aji also needs an explanation from the middle-aged woman, why hide the existence of Asha all this time. Though he knew that Papa Roni's family had been very trying to find him.

"Father!" pekik Khairil who immediately hugged Aji.

It certainly makes the man happy because his son was hesitant to recognize himself as papa, but after meeting Asha, Khairi more freely express his feelings. He understood for sure that Khairi was afraid, whether he was really his papa or just pretending.

"What's Papa's son playing?"

"I played Lego, I was going to play this car, but I don't know how to play," replied Khairi while showing the car that was bought by Aji on the way home.

"Here, Papa try first, and then Papa teach you how to play."

Khairi nodded with such enthusiasm. It makes Aji feel sad because seeing the son who has been lacking his attention all this time because of that, he promised to make up for all his guilt by giving full time for Khairi. Actually Zaki wanted to contact both his parents and his two in-laws. However, when he thought back, he did not want them to do something that would later make Asha and Khairi afraid.

It is better that all he does himself slowly, taking their hearts and giving them sincere love so that they will return with him at their own will. It's enough that the man made a mistake first, not anymore.

"What a cool thing!" yelling Khairi while playing the remote car in his hand by mimicking the way Aji was.

In the past the child could only dream of being able to have a toy like this. He was always jealous of his friend who already had it first. Whenever Khairi wants to borrow, it must end in a fight because they are reluctant to lend it, afraid that the child will instead damage his toy. Now that he already had it himself, even this time his was more sophisticated than his friends.

Khairi can show everyone that he can have a good car. He even has a father, his father has come home from work. That's why he already has toys, Aji had also promised to buy more toys.

"Son, it's time for Khairi bobo noon, huh! Later play again," admonished Asha who actually wanted Aji to leave this house immediately.

"It can't be dong, honey. Later if Khairi soy sauce continues to hurt how? Khairi wants to be injected by a doctor?"

"I don't want to, I want to play with papa."

Asha still tried to persuade the son, but still Khairi refused to go to sleep and instead hugged the father. Until finally Aji who pityes Asha spoke up. "Now Khairi bobo first, yes! It'll be noon, later if Khairi hurts pity Mama."

"But I still want to play with Papa."

"How about your sleep, Papa Temenin. Later after waking up we play again," Aji bargained.

Khairi nodded with such enthusiasm. The child also invited the father to his room, the room he had been living in with his mother. Asha wanted to prevent it. However, it was too late, the son had already brought Aji into their room.

The woman is getting confused how to make Aji leave this house immediately. Bik Ika who saw was only able to wipe Asha's shoulder. Maybe it is time for Khairi to know who his true identity is. The child also needs to know his extended family.

"Mr ...."

Asha looked at Bik Ika as if asking for an opinion regarding Aji's current whereabouts. That man shouldn't be in this house. They have no relationship, it is not appropriate to live in one house. What if later Aji's wife finds out and comes angry, it will definitely cause trouble.

"Trust me if this is your destiny. Just face everything with sincerity, God willing, all can be resolved well, without any dispute between you. You have enough to get away from these problems. Now is the time to face it," said Bik Ika.

She did not want Asha to stay away from her family anymore. As a parent, the woman understood how her former employer felt. For sure at this time they missed the presence of Asha at home. Now Bik Ika will support what Aji did.

"But I'm scared, Mom. What if you still want to separate me and Khairi?" ask Asha in a soft voice.

"Now that Khairi is great, there is no way that God will separate you. Even if it was true, it would definitely be difficult considering that the child was also smart. You are stronger now than you were before. I'm sure you can take care of your child, I can also see the love that is so great in the eyes of Nak Aji this time. Surely he will also protect you even though now the status is different."

Asha looked at Bik Ika doubtfully, is it true that the middle-aged woman said? She was very afraid that her family would hurt Khairi. All this time the boy had suffered enough with him. Had to face problems in his family.

"You better get some rest, too, it seems you're tired."

Bik Ika immediately entered the house, while Aji stared at the door of his room that had been tightly closed. I don't know what the two men of different ages did. Although they said they would sleep, but Asha was not sure about it.
