Father's Status On My Son's Deed
78. Hard to let go

"Asha will never accept an offer from you because until whenever she is my wife," said Aji who had heard the talk of the two of them.

Asha immediately looked towards the origin of the voice, she was surprised to find the husband who was not far from where he stood, while Arvin smiled cynically when he found his rival had become a hero of misfortune. Aji walked up to the wife and grabbed the woman's waist. She felt bad because Asha did not come back after saying goodbye to go to the toilet. Aji who is worried immediately leave his son to the guard in the game area and he follows the wife here.

It turns out that his wife was disturbing. At first she does not know who the man is, but after hearing their talk Aji can catch if the man in front of her is Asha's ex-lover before they get married first. Judging from his appearance like a good person, who would have thought if he had a rotten heart.

"You don't have to bother to tell my whole family about the origin of our son. That child is both of us. You need to know, I was the one who had desecrated Asha at that time, to make her pregnant so, it is also useless if you say about what happened to Asha to my family," Aji replied lying.

Meanwhile, Asha looked at the husband, not expecting that the man would lie just to defend her. She still remembered the face of the man who had taken her chastity and it was not Aji, but Asha knew that what the husband was doing was only for the good of himself and Khairi. The woman believed that whatever the man did was for the good of the family.

Arvin was so shocked to hear what the man beside Asha said. She did not expect that Aji turned out to be the man who had already desecrated her lover first. Although in his heart he doubted whether what Aji said was true or not. It felt very hard to believe, but it was also impossible if the man wanted to marry Asha who was pregnant.

"You don't need to think much about my life and Asha's. I hope you don't bother my wife anymore because your relationship with her is over before we get married. If you still bother my family, you'll know the consequences." Aji immediately invited his wife to leave from there. He did not want to see Asha depressed.

Arvin looked at the departure of Asha and her husband with a sad look. To be honest he didn't want to do this either, but all this man did was for the sake of being able to have Asha back. Arvin was very sorry for leaving his girlfriend who was in trouble at the time.

"It seems like you are very happy with your husband, when I really want to have you back. Is there no way for me to have you? I want us to live together as a family. I'm so sorry for what happened" he muttered that he could only hear himself.

Regrets are too late. Arvin also can not do anything else, this is all his fault because it was carried away by emotions. If only he had thought clearly, he would never have left his girlfriend and accepted whatever the woman was. Now that it was too late, Asha was also already happy with the man.

Aji also seemed to love his wife. It was impossible for him to ruin their happiness. However, it is also very difficult. It's a hard choice. Perhaps this was already his fate that was not matched with Asha.

"You're okay, aren't you, honey?" ask Aji as soon as they're away from Arvin.

"I'm okay, Mom. Thank you for helping me, you have always been my hero" Asha said with a smile. Her eyes were glazed over, not expecting to get such great love from her husband.

Aji hugged his wife. He was so worried about Asha that he could now calm down because his wife was fine. The man hopes that in the future the wife can be strong to face anything. In fact, there was no doubt the strength of the woman, for five years Asha was also able to get through all the problems that occurred without her help. However, as a husband, he was still worried because now Asha and Khairi were his responsibility.

"I'm glad you're okay. In the future you should call me if there is any problem. Don't take it all by yourself. Didn't I say that you are now my responsibility, don't carry all my own burdens. Give it all to me, you're just leaning on my chest. Everything will be finished," said Aji with a feeling that has begun to be relieved.

"Thank you, Mom, but as a wife I want to help you too. If I can still handle it, what's wrong? I don't want to bother you too much. Trust me, I can still handle it. If I can't, I'll complain to you. You take it easy, I will always remember that there are you who always protect me" said Asha as she tightened her arms to her husband.

"Papa and Mama why are the hugs here? See many people!" khairi's exclamation made Asha break down her embrace and look around.

Surely many people were staring at the two, making the woman embarrassed and covering her face with both palms. Aji chuckles and hugs the wife again, making Asha hide her face in the husband's chest.

"I'm ashamed, Mom. Everyone cares about us" whispered Asha right in the husband's chest.

Aji rubbed Asha's back and said, "It's okay, after all we're a halal couple, what a shame. Those who have not bonded alone are not ashamed to show their affection, our halal times are even ashamed? It is no longer worth ignoring. Let's go for another walk!" Aji turned to look at the son in front of him. "Khairi wants to play again?"

"I'm hungry, Pa. I want to eat."

"Yes, let's find a restaurant! What do you want to eat?"

"Anything, Pa."

The three of them walked hand in hand with Khairi who was in the middle of his parents. They walked to a restaurant that is quite famous in the mall. Khairi ate so voraciously while occasionally telling me about the game he had just played. The child also asked the father so that later he could play there again.

Aji also accepted the request of the son. For that man Khairi is happy whatever he will do. That's all Aji has done to make amends for all this time.

"Ma, Kak Tiara why don't we stay here? Later will be good, I if the streets can play with Kak Tiara. I miss Kak Tiara" said Khairi with sadness.

Aji and Asha looked at each other, both of them perfectly understood what the child was feeling. Only a few days they were here, surely the child still could not adjust. Though here there are also opa and oma, but still different from the people who are always with him.

"If Khairi kangen with Kak Tiara, we will go to grandma's house sometime, yes! Khairi must be kangen too, right granny?" tawar Aji made the boy's face glow.

"Really, Pa? Can you?"

"Of course, dong, honey, but wait for the day off, Khairi's going to school. Papa's also working."

"Yes, Pa. Later if our vacation to the grandmother's house," said the child with a smile. He was already impatient to meet with grandma and also Tiara whom he had been calling brother.
