I Need You
Apologies

Happy reading 😍📖

The Great Hall of the House of Mr Imran

"Eccusiastes" whispered Noah softly into the ears of his friend who was still upset looking at him, then he looked back at Danang who was ready to draw a wry blink of an eye without guilt that he deliberately aimed at him. Now Hilya resigned in the arms of her husband. All the friendly and possessive treatment of a Danang against his wife was really recorded clearly by the memory of the woman named Karin. Now he could only look at Hilya with an unread look.

Slowly the couple stepped forward through the connecting hallway between the rooms, Nuha still remained faithful holding Hilya's arms running slowly in the back, while Karin now takes a walking position beside Danang who has been a step faster in front while trying to chat.

"You know, this show reminds me of our late Oma, Danang." Karin with her soft words while smiling glaringly.

"Sama, me too, Rin." Danang replied to the words of the woman who walked parallel to him. His gaze was straight ahead without even turning his head towards the woman who asked him to speak.

"Do you remember everything?" asked Karin with a glazed look.

"Heeum." a sober answer snorted out of the man's mouth.

"Well, I feel like you've changed a lot" Karin Rada said.

"Just how you feel, I'm still the way I used to be." Danang calmly refuted his words. Along with that, his steps gradually accelerated.

Realizing that Karin immediately stopped her steps. Now he could only sigh heavily, "But I feel that something is missing from you, Danang." The woman muttered with a wry smile looking at the back of the man who flashed further away from her.

The flashback

Karin, a woman in Danang's past whose beauty is almost perfect, breezes beautifully with a distinctive graceful bend entering the Adhytama Star Group's 'Elite Cafe' area at one of its branches in downtown D. Smile was increasingly attacking when he found the man who once kept his name behind the deepest heart was now there, where the promise met.

And today Danang fulfilled the reunion request that the woman had planned after several times the man had refused to meet. At a glance, not much has changed from the tall, typical Asian man. Still the same as before, always relaxed without burden, that is the characteristic of the owner of the full name Danang Danuarta Setiawan.

One thing that distinguishes him is, the existence of the young man for a year and a half is like being swallowed by the earth. Many times Karin tried to open her eyes, as if to make sure that at that time she was not dreaming. Right, the man seemed to be waving his hand towards himself while throwing a distinctive smile that always splashed the flames of longing in his heart. Missed best friend? I don't know.

"Well, are you really there?" karin asked as if unsure of his vision.

"Yes, it's me." Danang then stood up to welcome the arrival of the woman as soon as he heard her name called, "Why? You look at the devil." The man gave a brief glance while attacking her with a distinctive style that the woman most yearned for.

Karin immediately rushed to reach for her sturdy body, "Hhh, I just need a little reason to convince my heart of this blurry vision." A tight embrace of demands just shot up, "You refused to meet a few times, and I thought you didn't want to see me anymore." There was a deep look of longing behind those beautiful clear eyelids.

"Let's hug me, Danang." she asked cheerfully.

But wait, there was no response or hug back from the tall man. There was only a light pat that landed on the shoulder of the woman who asked to be hugged, "Sorry, I'm just busy" he said flatly, then continued with an effort to remove the woman's embrace.

Realizing that, Karin was suddenly awkward, but immediately the bus mastered the situation, "Come, please sit down." he continued full of friends.

Karin handed him a menu list, "My cafe has some of the latest concoctions, they all come from selected coffee, and you can choose as you please" he continued laughing cheerfully.

"Oh, huh? Be able. Emm.., but you're the one who chooses, I trust you."

"Relatedly? Come, Danang. Just once." he asked, "My choice could have slipped from your taste." he continued.

Danang shook his head loudly, "Pass! I trust you all."

Karin is suddenly uncomfortable, but she still controls her mood. Now he's trying to get into the core issue, "Including mending the relationship between our two sisters?" Karin raises a question that makes Danang suddenly scan his face without blinking. While the woman nodded confidently.

Danang hops, "Ee, sorry I don't have time for that." The rebuttal is heavy. The change in his face was unable to hide his anger. It seems that he was ready to leave the place, but Karin quickly caught his wrist.

"We have to discuss it, Danang" he said firmly.

"There's nothing to discuss, I don't want Dania trapped in a mafia environment. I just want him to be safe and not to be the same fate as you. I also don't want my sister to have anything to do with that bastard" Danang said loudly because she had to stop her movement due to Karin.

"He's not a bastard! She's my sister-in-law. We're not a mafia family." - Karin. There was a declaration of war behind his suppression sudden attack. Highlight his eyes blushing.

Andang silenced cynically, there was only a sharp gaze full of resistance now unsheathed to the beautiful flaming petals belonging to the woman he had once made as the first person in his heart. Realizing this, Karin lowered her voice and asked for Danang's willingness to return to a sitting position.

"Sorry, please sit down, I will explain to you." pinta Karin turned soft, and Danangpun softened.

The woman also began a lengthy explanation, "Semenjak Haidar was transferred to Adhytama Star Group, his name was counted clean from the row of personnel names 'Diego Spirit'."

"The TF family's Mission Center has now been taken over by brother David with his believers. Diego, as his only real brother, has no right to that. Remember carefully, Haidar is just an employee of the family entrusted, and he is not the owner."

"And ever since the events at Bruno Palm last year nearly cost my husband his life, those upper-class mobsters have given up and promised never to make a mess again, so everything's safe."

"Hey, remember one more thing, Haidar and Dania are also ordinary humans who just want to fight for their love for their loved ones. Just like the other lovers, Dimas, Diego, me, even you yourself have done the same thing, haven't you?"

Danang breathed a heavy sigh. This time he had to acknowledge the greatness of the woman he once admired. Yes, now the woman who was once weak and confined in the strict family care, has transformed into an independent woman who is tough and invincible in her social environment. Will it be like Karinkah's powerful sister someday?

One thing that made him gasp, when Karin told him that Hilya had come to Haidar in the ICU room where she also had a chance to meet Diego, Karin's husband. What is the purpose of his wife? Nothing else is on the basis of humanity. The wife just wants to fix the mess that has been created by her own in-laws and husband by giving support to Haidar so as not to give up.

"What, if not your wife also agrees with me, huh?" sindir Karin is triumphant.

"So my wife is determined to enter the family circle? What if something happens to her while I don't know about it?" inner frustration. Seen from the movement of fingers that sweep the rough oriental face.

Thanks to Karin's meeting with Danang, the two have now agreed to bring their two families together in order to improve the relationship that had been severed due to the incident a few weeks ago.

Karin managed to convince her husband's family, while Danang also, despite doubts, she also managed to convince the papa in order to unite the relationship of the sister with the man of her dreams. Everything he did to appreciate the struggle of his wife and also his old friend.

Several times he had a short meeting with a young man named Danang who had once been very close to him. Many memories came when they were both. Only what distinguishes him, at this time, Danang always refused rather than responding back when he tried to touch their past. Not to mention about them, about the late Oma they just don't want to mengubrisnya.

Even Danang seemed to avoid and always keep his distance. Though that is not what he wants, but he wants togetherness like the past can be repeated even with a different version. But everything did not match expectations.

And now when he found Danang's attitude very opposite when dealing with Hilya. The man did not even hesitate to show off his affection in public with the woman. Loving her, holding her possessive, and one thing that never happened between them, in quotes 'loving her face and lips without tolerance, and also assuming the world belongs to both of them'.

This is proof that now the man has managed to forget his dark past. Not only haru, he also gasped when he found Danang also forgot their friendship that seemed extreme in the eyes of her husband Diego, and also the women who had been close to Danang. I don't know what that feeling is, did he lose it? Not feeling a tear dripping on the beautiful eyelids.

Flash back end

"Yes, geez. Beautiful very woman named Karin," whispered Noah to the ears of Hilya who stepped slowly closer.

"Hmmm, you're right, Nut." Hilya confirmed the words of Noah. His smile is expanding. His eyes could not be separated from admiring the elegance of the face of the woman who was now turning towards him and also amazed to look at him.

"Please, take the place next to the two handsome men." a friendly Karin full of smiles told Hilya who had entered the arena.

"Thank you," Hilya replied with a friendly smile while welcoming a helping hand of Danang and Dimas who had first taken a sitting position next to each other. Now Hilya's sitting position is between the two brothers. Both of them threw meaningful smiles at him.

Hilya POV

The only thing I wanted to do at the time was stick behind my husband's arm that looked so handsome, even more handsome than usual, like a prince champan when in a custom uniform like this. Yeah, probably because of the noble blood that was actually flowing in his body.

One thing I knew when I became a companion to his life was that this large family who were predicted to be the descendants of pure nobility never prided themselves on the fact that they were worthy leaders in ancient times.

"In addition, what needs to be exhibited if my government is only limited to the scope of my world. Disrupting the business of my ancestors, the result of which is not necessarily divided fairly and evenly among the small community."

"It should be remembered one thing, that everyone has the right to be a leader for themselves and their families," said Imran as my in-laws who hold the principle of peace in their family lives.

Yeah, I knew that a long time ago. It's just that my husband's current appearance seems to bring himself to the picture of past ancestors whose names soar in historical carvings. That's all I want to explain.

All eyes were fixed on me and himself as he and I each separately entered the path that had been provided as an entrance filled with colorful flower gardens.

My shadow ran to the time six months ago, where the two of us entered the arena hand in hand. Ah, I feel like a newlywed getting ready to marry my lover. At the time, I did not know who my real husband was. And now I am convinced and convinced that he is my true soul mate, and Allah has entrusted me to guard and protect me and my children.

But at this time, in the event that looks like six months ago, when I again sit down and stick behind his sturdy arm, he said, my feelings became more flowery than I had ever felt.

Where at that time I thought it was just a chaotic world, also nervous because it was humiliated by my social status as a village girl and had nothing. More severe is that at that time I think my existence was not liked by my own husband. Ah, just my feelings.

And now, everything has changed, because I know very clearly, that my husband loves and loves me very much, especially now that we have a prospective baby as a sign of love that is residing in my womb.

Likewise with my sister-in-law who now sits cross-legged on my left and we are mobbed by the families that surround us three. Although he had no companion by his side, Dimas looked very handsome and dignified. So is the new couple Dania and Haidar. Apparently Dania and Haidar had entered the arena first and were sitting side by side very sweetly and harmoniously.

Kulirik to the other side, it turns out that papa and mama are also wearing the same uniform as us. So did Mr. Amran and Mrs Mira who were sitting side by side.

Now I began to understand that this moment, was deliberately made by my father and also my extended family to pray for the safety of the Setiawan family who had just passed a big storm. A storm that ravaged family life and tranquility.

A very appropriate moment for 'unification of kinship relations'. Unite what was once separate, pick up what was once scattered, pray for the once sick, who once fell, who were once deceived and reclaim what was once captured, he said, then take back what was once taken for granted in the portion of having it whole. The faithfulness and sincerity of sacrifice is a symbol of true love and compassion.

Then what about Ibn Haidar who was deliberately included in this event? Ibn Haidar was part of the once defied, part of the once oppressed, and part of the once discarded.

Now it is time for him to be re-appointed his dignity and dignity in front of the entire extended family as a form of apology from the Setiawan family to himself personally, and also to the Fatah-Fatih family in general.

Therefore, at this time also he and Dania will soon be betrothed as a form of unification that was once separated. That means, Haidar is already part of our extended family.

While me and my husband, had to go through several more rituals for the fulfillment of our relationship which had been considered still in a pseudo-circle. Plus the fetus that now bloomed in my very young stomach, became the main reason for the union of the two of us.

Papa Imran deliberately brought in an indigenous elder who acted as the leader of the ritual event, until everything seemed to run so solemnly. And I was called by the elder as a bearer of light for the happiness of the Setiawan family.

Yes, not to mention the family greeting delivered by om Amran. As his gratitude, he clarified my status as a daughter-in-law of the family who managed to become a unifier and tie-up of the family relationship that was almost cut off, and brought a new life for the soul and body of the family.

I looked up briefly, then lowered my head sharply with a blushing face as everyone present there looked at me with a masygul look.

Thank you, my husband, for choosing to endure, after all the trials we passed together and for making your choice to me as your life partner's wife, to wade through grief with you, she said, and make me the mother of your children.

The Hilya POV end.

Prayer together goes solemn. Continuing to the engagement of Dania and also Haidar, lasted quite lively. The ring exchange ritual is accompanied by a prayer of thanksgiving for the safety of the tested princes.

Mr. Imran realized that the only beautiful princess would leave the Setiawan family and change titles following her future husband.

Sentence by sentence strung together in a slick language full of appreciation made all those present join in tears, as Mr. Imran expressed his apology to the male family.

A sincere apology as well as an expression of his feelings and sadness, when he had to be willing to release his only daughter to the children of the generation of Fatah-Fatih family he had hurt.

"I'm just a father who's torn about children's problems, who can act excessively and even blindly if it's about children's lives in trouble. And all that reflexes happened, not out of hate and resentment, but just because I was so worried about my children's safety."

"There is no human being without flaws. And if the lack of it has hurt some, then on this occasion, I would personally like to offer my utmost apology to the Fatah-Fatih family for the calamity that has befallen your son of pride."

"My hope for the two of you, just prove your love for me, by protecting each other, caring for each other and complementing each other until you age together."

"Take wisdom from this problem, then make it as an ibrah to organize life in the future."

"And as for my beloved daughter-in-law, Miss Hilya Afiyana Abhimanyu Setiawan, thank you for everything, thank you for being the princess who brings happiness to all of us." Mr. Imran suddenly stopped his sudden words, "Also thank you for the enlightenment that God has brought to this family through your presence at the side of our eldest son, thus providing a new hereditary light for the next generation of Setiawan. Apologize and accept our affection for you." he continued haru, making tears become unstoppable. Not only concerned, but all who were present also carried away the feeling of haru in tears of happiness.

"Thank you to all who have supported and supported the families who passed this tough test. May we all remain in the protection of Allah SWT, aamiin."
