"I'm sorry, Ma. I ... accidentally slapped you," Firdaus said. Really, he had no intention of slapping his wife. Because it was too emotional to accidentally commit an act of violence to his wife.
Lena looked at the brown iris of the man she loved so much. The woman's eyes began to tear. It fell down the stairs. That's a proverb that represents the feelings of the birth mother of Raihan. Seeing her beloved husband with another woman in an intimate position plus receiving a hard slap in the face was enough to break her heart into pieces.
Now, he can feel the feeling of Mei Ling when Rayyan's biological mother is caught him making out together with the former director of the hospital. Be ill. It was so painful that he felt the whole world befall his body.
Staring wistfully with trembling lips accompanied by a grin on the face, Lena said. "Before, don't slap me, scold me you never. But now, for the sake of that woman you can slap me. Wicked you, Pa!"
Firdaus shook his head quickly. "No, Ma. For God's sake, I didn't mean to slap you. Really!" The man touched Lena's hands, and cupped her. "Please, I'm sorry."
However, Lena brushed aside both of Firdaus' hands violently. "I would not be touched by your dirty hands!" The woman began to raise her voice.
"Mama!" snapped Firdaus.
"Why? You don't accept me being so despicable? Isn't your hand dirty, Pa? It's dirty because it has touched so many other women besides your legal wife!" lena with fiery eyes. The woman's chest returned kembis felt the entire body heat up due to emotions that continued to infiltrate into the self.
"When you stood up as the husband of Mbak Mei Ling, that hand touched me with a look of adoration. Then, after I officially became your wife, you even touched another woman on the grounds of wanting to help her. Old keladi! It's old, not even insyaf it becomes-so!" hardik Lena without taking her eyes off the figure of the middle-aged man in front of her.
"Lena! Stop it! I told you, I was just trying to help Nesa." Firdaus regained his emotions. He looked wide open with his wife.
Instead of stopping, Lena got more emotional. He stretched his hand to the left side, then took out a book from the row of books neatly arranged on the shelf. Several books were thrown before Firdaus while shouting hysterically. "Liar! You lying, Pa! I don't believe you!"
"Stop, Ma! Stop it!" Firdaus immediately drew Lena's hands together. He hugged the helpless body in the arms. Hugging tightly as if not wanting the woman to leave from his side. "I'm sorry" he whispered in his wife's ear.
"Let go! I don't want you to hug! I don't want to be hugged by a striped-nose guy like you!" push Lena thrashing. Banging the chest of the field of Paradise. "You're bad, Pa! I hate you!" Keep struggling, trying to escape from the embrace of the husband.
After exerting all the available abilities, Lena finally managed to escape from Firdaus' embrace. As a result of being too forced, the wheelchair occupied by the woman was pushed uncontrollably. Round-shaped seat wheels made of rubber move backwards as fast as lightning, because previously not locked first by the owner. Until something unexpected happens.
"Aargha!" lena shouted before the wheelchair occupied by her hit the wall and the woman's body fell forward with her face first touching the floor.
"Mama!" firdaus chirped hysterically when he saw Lena's body fall out of her chair.
The man wanted to save his wife, but suddenly he felt his legs feel numb. The head hurts a lot and is accompanied by difficulty in speaking. His face looks sagging and not symmetrical anymore.
Brugh!
Suddenly, the father of two handsome men who were successful in the career world drooped helplessly on the floor.

"Babe, Ghani is hungry. Since then he was agitated and his cries did not stop!" rayyan exclaimed from inside the nursery. The heavy voice of the man was heard all the way to the living room. Arumi who was milking ASI into a BPA free plastic bottle immediately stopped his activity for a moment. Luckily, he finished the fifth bottle ready to be put in the freezer.
"Mom Rumi, let me just tidy up." Ma'am Tini immediately took over the rest of my work after hearing the call from inside the twins' room.
Without saying much, Arumi swung her feet towards the nursery that was directly connected to the main room. The woman's lips were pulled upwards when she saw Rayyan holding their first child lovingly.
Rayyan sat next to Arumi while watching her wife give breast milk to her baby.
"Two days before the event, we're going to Mama Nyimas' house. I also asked Mr. Burhan to stay there for a while. Yes ... who knows his presence can help and slightly ease the work of EO workers," said Rayyan in between his activities noticed the baby who was busy making a vow.
Arumi looked at her husband, then looked back at Ghani's face with a loving look. He enjoys every moment of his time together with his children, especially when alone like this. By giving breast milk to your child, it is expected to build an emotional bond between mother and child.
"Yes, Mas. You just set how good. The important thing is that on Day H, you invite Rini and her family. Not like what happened a few months ago. In the middle of the show my best friend came and cried because we didn't invite him." Triplet's mother chuckled softly as she recalled the ongoing four-monthly event at the Nyimas residence. "Although in the end only Rio was present, at least we already told him. I'm sure he won't be as angry as he used to be."
"Yes .. yes .... I have prepared a special invitation for your friend. I have also entrusted Rio earlier," said Rayyan. "Invitation for our colleagues in the hospital I've also separated stay spread."
Hearing Rayyan's words, Arumi remembered Firdaus, her father-in-law who had come to visit her in the hospital a few days ago. Congratulate and sincere do'a to his three grandchildren.
"Mas, did you also invite Papa Firdaus and Aunt Lena during the event?" ask Arumi carefully. Not wanting to mess up the mood of the husband.
Rayyan was speechless, she looked at Arumi with a hard to interpret gaze. Returning to the thought of all Rio's words when the man was still meeting at his apartment.
"I know, you don't like it when Papa Firdaus and Aunt Lena are present in the midst of our happiness. However, shouldn't we tell them about this news, Mas? Anyway, in the blood of our three babies flows the blood of Papa Firdaus."
Rayyan's body heats up followed by a hardened jaw that protrudes outward. He did not deny the fact that in the body of his children flows the blood of a man who has been the cause of the death of his beloved mother. If this is the case, there is no way other than to tell the reality that for a dozen years he has been alone.
Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly while closing your eyes for a moment. He gathers courage within himself to tell Arumi about Lena's circumstances including the man's reason why he hates Firdaus so much and the papa's serial wife even though his mother is so kind and carries out her role as a person old in general.
"Rumi, there's something important that I've been hiding to you about my Papa's second wife." The man paused his sentence for a moment. He took a deep breath before finally opening his voice again. "After visiting you at the hospital, apparently the woman was rushed to the hospital. He fell down the stairs and was bleeding. His life could be saved, but as a result of that incident, the lower limbs were paralyzed. The doctor said he could no longer walk as he had before."
A sweet smile painted on a beautiful face dimmed, replaced by a gloomy face wrapped in sadness.
Saddened? Why should Arumi be sad to hear the bad news that befell Lena, stepmother of her husband? Was not the second wife of Paradise an actor who had been mean to Mei Ling, so why did the beautiful doctor grieve over hearing of the calamity that had befallen Lena? The answer is, because Lena is the only woman willing to defend Arumi when everyone is insulting her.
While socialite gangmate Naila is busy gossiping about Arumi, it is only the middle-aged woman who keeps her mouth shut and prefers to keep herself busy looking through the bag collection, shoes and clothes are branded rather than having to spend energy to gossip innocent women. Even though he did not buy all of those things, it was better than talking about the ugliness of others. Therefore, Arumi felt indebted to Lena because she was always defended in front of others, especially in the presence of her former mother-in-law.
Arumi squinted. It was clear that the eyes of disappointment were reflected in her beautiful eyeballs.
Before his wife misunderstood, Rayyan made a voice. "I'm sorry for not telling you before. I'm doing this all for the good of us together."
"Your post-surgery condition is still very weak, plus the hassle of taking care of the three twins made me think why should I tell the woman's condition? He is nobody to me. She's just a stepmom who has ruined my mother's household. And ... she was also the cause of Mama Mei Ling's death in an accident a dozen years ago."
"What?" asked Arumi with perfectly wide eyes.
