Father's Status On My Son's Deed
67. I want to

"Sir, who are you going home with?" ask the doctor after allowing Aji to come home. However, there was no sign of someone coming.

"I go home alone, Doc," replied Aji listlessly, her body was not yet fully healthy either.

The woman had wanted to ask Aji to stay for a while even if it was only one day. However, the man refused and said he was fine. Because the patient still forced to go home, finally the doctor did not force again.

"If you have no one to accompany, how can I just let you go? Who will take care of you later? You still need intensive treatment, fear that later at home will recur and will even get worse."

"No, Doc. This time I promised to eat on time so I beg the doctor to let me go home. The longer I stay here, the more I get sick. I can't calm down either."

"Well then, let me help you get out until you get a taxi" the doctor said. He also did not want his patients to feel uncomfortable.

Just now the doctor was going to help, suddenly a woman came, which was none other than Asha. Aji who saw it was surprised, but he had told his wife to go home, but why is it now suddenly still here. That woman won't listen to what she's saying. Aji looked around and did not see Khairi's whereabouts.

"Asha, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go home first. Pity Khairi if he still remains here," asked Aji by looking around, trying to find the whereabouts of the son.

"You take it easy, Mum. I've taken Khairi home. I'm here because I want to accompany you, didn't you just say your assistant will be here, why do you even want to go home by yourself and make the doctor worried?" ask Asha because the woman had heard what the doctor said.

"He has a job. Maybe soon he will come, too," Aji replied lying and then continued his words, "You should just go home, accompany Khairi at home."

"I'll wait for you here, until your assistant comes. I'd feel so guilty if something happened to you."

"I told you, I'm fine. I'm just not well."

"Already, Mas. I don't want to argue with you. We better wait for your assistant" concluded Asha who was already upset with her husband.

Aji let out a rough breath. Though his intention did not want to trouble the wife, he did not want Asha to bother taking care of her who was sick. They are not a halal couple. Aji doesn't want his wife's good name to be tainted. Better her difficult self.

"Actually I lied to you. My assistant could not be contacted since then and now I want to go home to the hotel so, you should just go home I can take a taxi" said Aji who felt bad.

"Then I'll accompany you back to the hotel. You're so hard to take medicine."

"Aren't you having trouble taking medication? Why am I being blamed?" asked Aji in a seductive tone. In the past, when pregnant, sometimes Asha did not take medicine from a doctor if not reminded.

"No! Who said that" said Asha by turning his face away.

Asha was moved to hear it, Aji was apparently so concerned with her good name. He alone did not think in that direction because his intention was only so that the man could get well soon.

"Why do you now care about people's speech? Didn't you tell me a lot that we don't have to listen to other people because it just hurts?"

"Anything related to you, of course, I care. There is nothing more important than you and Khairi. I'm willing to do anything as long as you two are okay. You better go home now. It's not that I don't care about your good intentions, I'm very grateful, but coming back with your good name is much more important to me than my health."

Asha's eyes glazed over as she looked towards Aji, what sincerity did that man "Why do you care so much about me, Mas? I told you I can't go back to you."

"I told you too, I won't force you. If that is your wish, I will accept it" Aji said with a smile making Asha shed her tears.

The woman did not expect that the man who had once been her husband, was now in front of her with sincere love. Love no longer claps one hand. Aji came with such great expectations.

"Mas, I want to marry you. I want to be your wife. I want us to live together again like before" said Asha who immediately made Aji so happy.

The man felt like he had misheard, he asked Asha again and reassured the woman for what she said earlier. It is true that Asha did want to marry her, building their broken household back into one piece. More precisely to build a new household again with the existence of their son.

"I'm glad you finally want to take me back. I promise I will be a good husband and father to you, " said Aji with the palm of Asha's hand.

Asha wiped her tears and looked towards Aji. "But, Mom, before we get remarried, I want to meet our parents and ask them for their blessing. If they don't allow it, then I can't marry you. At our wedding this time, I want to get their blessing without any lies or anything else."

"Of course, if need be today I'll have them come here and marry us now."

"You don't joke, Mom." Asha glared her eyes.

"I'm not kidding, would you let me in the hotel alone? It's also impossible for you to wait for me at the hotel or ask someone else. I want you to take care of me."

"You're actually a mode or what, anyway?" asha said with annoyance.

"As much as you want to think what. In a moment, I'll call both our parents."

Aji called her parents and asked them to come. He did not say that he had found Asha. The man simply asked them to come and say he was sick and needed their presence. They also say yes because they think if Aji's condition is severe.
