CI 18 - My Mother is Dead

Adit looks so furious to see the treatment of Lia's father to Lia. Although Adit does not know the content of their conversation, Adit concludes that the old man must be forcing Lia. It was seen when Lia tried to release her hand from the clutches of the father. Lia shook her head so many times that she got a slap.

Brakes….

" Dumb fuck... You old man!!"

Doto who saw the boss looked angry immediately joined to see the cctv footage.

" Astagfirulla…. Boss.... Whose lia was slapped?"

" His father."

" Yes Allaah. Childhood time itself is called."

" It wasn't just the first one I saw Dot. The time when I also saw Lia's hand held firmly by her father and her hijab pulled until it almost slipped away."

"Well boss, it's already in the realm of the kdrt."

Adit nodded confirming Dot's speech.

" Dot.. find someone, put one bodyguard on Lia's side but don't let Lia know. Keep sending one more man to watch over Lia's father."

" Ready boss…. Run it!!!"

Doto again ran out to carry out the task given by Adit.

Adit felt a little confused by her who was so worried about Lia. He felt he could not accept Lia being treated badly by his father.

In Adit's heart he was eager to protect Lia. He wanted to protect the smile of the hijab-wearing woman. Adit always wants to see his smile. The smile that had made Adit feel happy and his heart was calm.

In Aji Bratasena's modest house, Aji is making a cake. While waiting for the cake Aji planted a small plant in a small pot as well.

Toks….. Tock…. Tock….

Trings…..

The sound of the door was knocked together with the sound of the oven indicating that the cake he made was ripe. Aji chose to lift the cake first from the oven. 

Tok.dok….

Aji's door was knocked back. The sister put down the cake then walked a little run towards the door.

" Yes wait a minute."

Chequek…

Huft.. . Aji threw out her rough breathing when she saw someone standing behind the door.

" Would you come here, you're not afraid of being followed by reporters?"

" Come brother don't be sarcastic let me in."

Inevitably Aji let the woman into his house even though she was very reluctant.

" What do you want?"

" Waaah your house is very nice Aji. Although it's smaller than our old house but it's very comfortable."

" Stop making small talk What do you want Revina to do?"

Revina, is Aji's ex-wife who has the heart to leave her son and husband for a career and certainly for another man.

" I just want to tell you not to make our son hate me?"

Aji squinted her eyes trying to digest Revina's words.

" What do you mean? Since when did Adit my son become our son. Don't you just not recognize him as your son?"

Huh…. Revina was throwing her breath rough. He straightened his body and changed his facial expression to be more serious.

" Today I went to his company, he threw me out and said a rude word."

Revina flinched with Aji's words. What her ex-husband said was all true. He himself realized that he had never been there for his son. But when Adit so hated him even drove him firmly Revina's heart was so painful.

" Can't you advise her again that she'll accept me?  Or at least he doesn't hate me."

" Oh…..Come on Revina, Adit's grown up he can know what's good and what's bad. He also knows what he's doing. Honestly, I always advised him to see you. But it all comes back to his person and heart. Just so you know, you've cut too deep a wound in Adit's heart, Revina."

Revina was down, but she straightened her head back up. She smiled at her ex-husband.

" I can't believe you actually persuaded sister to be kind to me. I'm sure you must have said something bad about me."

Instead of realizing his mistake, Revina again bestows his guilt on Aji.

Aji was so furious to see the behavior of the ex-wife who still looks haughty and arrogant.

" It's up to you that Rev. Oh, if there's nothing else you want to talk about, you better go home. I'm busy."

Aji said ketus to Revina. He was tired of the behavior of his ex-wife.

" Cih..I also do not want to linger in your small house is cramped."

Revina wavers out of Aji's house. Right in front of the door Adit came.

" Heh...why do you want to come to my father's house?"

" Adit. Can't you speak more gently to me. I'm your mother."

Adit turned his face away. He clenched his hands tightly holding the anger in his chest.

" Hahahaha.dad can wangsit where this woman claimed to be my mother. I'm sorry, ma'am, my mother died right after she left our house for a career and for another man."

Adit breezed in and grabbed the father's shoulder and shut the door hard.

Brakes……

" Is dad okay. That woman didn't hurt you, did she?"

Adit scanned the father's body from head to toe. He was really worried about his father. Although Aji looks okay all along, Adit knows that Aji feels very hurt and even traumatized by marriage. Many times Adit asks his father to remarry but Aji always refuses. He always said that he only wanted to see Adit grow up to have a wife and a grandchild.

" Hey ... hey. I'm ok. Besides your mother is a woman. What can he do to me."

" Huft. I told you I don't have a mother like that. Until now he was unconscious. Even if she never apologized to me or to me "

Aji could only respond to what Adit said with a smile. He also invited the son to sit in the dining room and enjoy the cake that had just matured.

" Oh yeah, why it's still noon like you're home. You're skipping from the company? Watch that your mas knows you can chop you up."

" If you don't talk, Rama won't know."

" Lha. In the office there will be your mother."

" Oh yes hahahha."

" Well, what's going on you go home."

Adit fell silent, only this time he felt clumsy talking to his father. He wanted to ask how he felt about Lia. From that time while in the office Adit did not focus on work at all and finally chose to go home to see his father.

" Well, I'm confused by how I feel. In the company there's a sweet girl, she's hijab-wearing. I always wanted to help that girl."

Aji who was so serious about listening to the story of the son suddenly laughed out loud. Adit is a great president but it turns out that the matter of Adit's heart is really zero.

" Laaah, I laugh at that."

" Sorry sorry. Dit.. Signs you're in love. But I'm sure it'll be hard. That girl must not be fascinated by you."

" Eh….."

Adit scratched his head that was not itching. What the father said was completely true. Lia was indeed different from the female woman who spent the night with him. Lia seems not interested in Adit. When the women race to attract the attention of Adit, Lia impressed indifferent.
