Father's Status On My Son's Deed
63. Is it possible to open the heart?

Asha was silent in front of the house, looking at the son who was playing ball alone. The woman was still thinking about what her employee had said earlier. Honestly the feeling is still there, but should she go back with Aji? What about his family later, especially the family of the husband, namely Mama Tia and Papa Harto. They would definitely be very opposed if they were together.

Asha still remembered how their anger when she found out that the child she was carrying was not the Son of Aji. Both of them were so furious and just threw him away. Mama Tia even forces Aji to divorce her, until Asha finally chooses the path to live alone.

This is where he is now, being in the village with a stranger who thinks he is like family. Should he return to the city, a place where there are bad memories but also happy. Just imagine it makes the woman uncomfortable.

"You've been daydreaming. What's up?" asked Amira who had just come, she reprimanded the woman who was already considered like her own sister.

"Eh, Miss Amira. Who is dreamy? I saw Khairi playing ball again" she told Asha by looking at her son's whereabouts.

"But your eyes are not there. Although I don't know what's really going on in your life, but as a woman I can feel the sincerity of that man. Why don't you try it again? I see he's a good man too."

Asha's eyes turned soft and helpless. "I'm also confused, Ma'am.what about our family later? I don't know if they agree or not, I still remember how angry they were when they found out what happened."

"It was just a momentary emotion. Aren't they good people? Sometimes people who are emotional like to do beyond their minds and minds. Perhaps they were in a state of caliphate and did not realize what they had done before. They just need space and time. Try to be open with your husband. If indeed after speaking you do not find peace or tranquility, it is all your choice."

"I'll think about it, Ma'am. For now I really can't decide what steps I'm going to take."

"That's all up to you. Yeah, I'm in first, yeah!"

Amira patted Asha on the back and entered the house, while Asha was still sitting in front, waiting for the son to play ball. The boy seemed to be playing alone.

"Mama!" khairi who ran towards her mother.

"Have you finished playing?" asha asked as she rubbed the hair of the son who was already soaked by sweat.

"Why haven't you been here, Ma?"

"Father will work again. It's not like this morning you told me that today was going to work!"

"When will you go home, Ma? Papa won't leave me again, will he?" Instead of answering Khairi asked another question.

"No, why do you think that?"

"I'm just afraid that papa will leave me again like I used to. I don't want Papa to leave me. Later friends will taunt me again for not having a father."

Asha was uncomfortable with what her son had said. It was tantamount to forcing herself to accept Aji again. He knew that Khairi didn't mean it that way. Maybe this is the way for her to be back together with her husband. After all that woman also still has feelings for Aji.

"Papa will be here. Don't you worry."

"Are you, Ma? Mama didn't lie, did she?"

"No, what's Mama lying for."

Khairi jumped in excitement. Asha smiled seeing him. Aji's arrival for the son is indeed extraordinary, even without bringing anything has made the child happy.

"Yes, Ma. Later after going home to teach, Papa has come, right?"

"Hopefully, I don't know if you have a lot of work or not."

Getting an uncertain answer made the child a little sad. However, he still hoped that his papa would come.

***

Until the night, Aji had not come yet when it was time for dinner. Khairi was not excited at all, the boy was sad because his papa did not come. He thought that Aji had left him, but from that moment Asha had tried to understand that her papa was currently working a lot so, could not go home. However, Khairi who has a sense of trauma with the environment and circumstances so think a no-no.

"I'm full, Ma. I'm going to go to the room first." Khairi passed by without waiting for an answer from his mother, making everyone there stare at his departure with question marks.

"What's up with Khairy, son? Is he in trouble?" ask Bik Ika.

"He was waiting for Mas Aji, Mom, but Mas Aji hasn't come yet when he's been hoping since last afternoon."

"Maybe Den Aji is doing a lot of work."

"I've given Khairi some understanding, but she seems to be afraid that Mas Aji will leave her."

"Why Auntie did not try to call Om Aji and ask where she is so that Khairi is not sad," said Tiara.

"I can't do it" Asha said slowly, it felt so embarrassing to contact the person she had already rejected.

"Why is it impossible? True what Tiara said, Khairi would not be sad either. If you are embarrassed to contact Aji, just use a video call, let Khairi talk directly to his papa so that the child is calm and not too much thought. Poor Khairi awaits his papa, "amira timpal.

Asha thought for a moment and finally nodded, she went to the son's room with her cell phone. Hopefully, Aji does not misunderstand him who first contacted. The woman entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed, while Khairi lay down hugging the bolster.

"Khairi why is the food not spent? Is your cooking bad?"

"Enak, Ma, but indeed Khairi is full."

"How about Khairi call papa and ask where he is now" Asha said.

The boy immediately woke up and smiled at his mother while asking, "Could you call papa, Ma?"

"Of course you can, why not? Papa also has a cell phone. Wouldn't you?"

"You, I want to call papa."

Asha smiles at him and immediately calls Aji's number which is already stored in her phone. Hopefully the man will pick up his call, after yesterday the woman had rejected him. He also believes Aji is not a person who likes to mix up business scenes. After a few days of meeting, Asha could also see a father's sincere affection for her son.
