Love hindered friendship
Hadi's anger

The man who was no longer young then told Atar to get up by pulling both arms of Atar so that he stood up, after Atar stood Hadi furrowed both eyebrows while saying.

"Why are you apologizing to Om? What mistake have you made until you bow down apologizing to Om?"

"I'm sorry Om, I know it's not easy to forgive the mistakes I've made but I hope Om gives me a chance to take responsibility. I want to marry Jani Om, because I love Jani very much and because she has also given birth to my flesh and blood Om" said Atar with a sad and regretful face.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Hadi felt shocked to hear the last sentence uttered by Atar. Hadi's face turned a dead red.

"What do you mean, Atar, Jani has given birth to your flesh and blood?" ask Hadi with a huffed face.

Atar then lowered his head and said softly, "I and Jani have... once had an illicit relationship until Jani became pregnant and gave birth to my son and this is the reason why Jani disappeared for 10 years. He was devastated, he was afraid of Om for disappointing Om because Jani failed to maintain his chastity because I chose to run away from the problem. Instead of him avoiding trouble it turned out that a big problem was waiting for him. Jani is pregnant with my son Om"

Suddenly Hadi's heart became sick and felt tight, and, how could his beloved daughter have to experience this disgrace and suffering alone for 10 years know while the man who has impregnated her can live freely without being responsible to his daughter, she can also go to college and achieve her goals while her daughter has to conceive and give birth to her child alone.

Hadi could not imagine how much suffering Rinjani at that time, he who had to bear the disgrace alone, he had to endure the disgrace alone, giving birth to and raising a child of a man who used to be his best friend but he even had the heart to destroy his daughter's life by robbing her of her chastity until she became pregnant.

"So what Atar said is true? Did you conceive and give birth to Atar's son?" asked Hadi with breath hunting each other for holding back the emotions that were stirring up in his chest.

Jani did not dare to answer he just lowered his head while sobbing because he was sad.

"The answer to Mr. Jani's question is, why are you silent?" snapped Hadi who began not to be able to hold his emotions.

Makes Jani more depressed and afraid but in the end he agreed to Atar's statement because his father kept urging him. Hadi's emotions became more ignited and uncontrollable he then vent his anger on Atar by slapping Atar's cheek many times.

Plaque!

Plaque!

"Byadab you Atar! Why are you making my daughter suffer? Why did you let him endure it alone? Why don't you just die, huh! Basic useless" snapped Hadi who was already flurrying because of his anger at Atar.

He then strangled Atar's neck until both of Atar's eyes turned into slushy and the veins around the eel and Atar's neck became stiff because Atar was almost out of breath.

"Aakkhh... Aakkhhhh." Ringis Atar was like an out of breath fish.

Jani who saw that then immediately stopped his action because he did not want his father to kill Atar.

"Mr stop! Please don't choke Atar, this isn't entirely Atar's fault sir, Jani was also wrong sir because Jani did not fight when Atar did that to Jani because we were both influenced by alcoholic beverages sir. So please let go of Atar sir" asked Jani with compassion while sobbing crying and pulling his father away from Atar, but Jani's strength was lost by his father who had been possessed by high emotions.

Hadi did not want to listen to Jani's explanation he continued to strangle Atar with both hands, Atar who felt resigned did not want to fight because he knew, he knew, he was wrong and maybe this is the punishment that Hadi wanted to give him until he chose to resign only to the circumstances.

But Jani could not see Atar being constantly strangled by his father and he asked Irwan and Toriq for help to stop him.

"Om Irwan please stop Mr. Om, Atar really accidentally drank the drink until he was unconscious and did that relationship with me, Azka who brought the drink to Om's villa, Om, Om knew for himself at that time Azka admitted it himself that he brought the alcoholic drink to the villa. Please stop Mr. Om" asked Jani with compassion.

Irwan continued to flinch as he recalled the events at the villa back then. Jani who was impatient then pulled Toriq's hand to stop the action of his father who continued to strangle Atar.

"Om please Om don't let you kill Atar, I don't want you to go to jail Om, because of this please stop Mr. Om" Jani continued to explain to his two Oms.

On the other hand, the little girl who witnessed it through the window of the car glass, quietly shed her tears because she felt sad. If only he had not been born in this world, his parents would not have suffered as they do today, the little heart of the child would have been so fragile and so sad.

He continues to curse himself in the heart and continues to blame himself for his birth. Shabira felt she was unworthy to live if she only made a disgrace to her parents but the little girl felt helpless and did not know what to do and finally she just cried while regretting her birth.

Finally Irwan and Toriq stopped Hadi's brutal action because Atar had been seen limp due to lack of oxygen entering his body due to being strangled by Hadi. Longitudinal red streaks of strangulated marks were seen on the skin of Atar's neck.

Jani then approached Atar, he touched Atar's shoulder and asked worriedly, "At what are you doing?"

Atar looked up at Jani, his eyes so sweet and weak.

"A... I. good.... fine" replied Atar with a soft and stammering.

Jani was really sad to see Atar's condition, he knew Atar was injured and also sick but he said he was fine. Jani's conscience was so full that she shed her tears again. While Irwan tried to calm Hadi's emotions and he also strengthened Jani's remark that Atar was completely unconscious when making a mistake it was because of the drink Azka brought.

"God! Atar! If indeed you did not intentionally make that mistake then why did you not tell us about this from a long time ago?" tanya Hadi was still emotional.

"I'm sorry om, it's because I don't remember anything about that night, I think Jani ran away not because of my mistake eating it I didn't say anything. I only found out my mistake after 10 years passed and it was because I met Jani again until a fact made my face" said Atar while looking down sad.

"It never crossed my mind that I was going to have a child from Jani, and it was a big surprise to me, I was shocked when I found out that Jani's child was my biological child but I want to make amends, I want to be responsible to Jani and our child from that please bless us to marry Om?" Atar pleaded solemnly.

"Yes Hadi, you should accept an apology from Atar, accept him to be your daughter-in-law, brother feels Atar really regret for his actions" persuaded Toriq so that Hadi would forgive Atar.

Of course, this is not easy for a father who sees his daughter suffering from a man. Irving, irwan, Jani even hopes that Hadi can forgive Atar and accept Atar to be his son-in-law because even though Atar is the father of his grandchildren so he must be responsible for Hadi's children and grandchildren.

"Father Jani please forgive Atar yes, please our blessing to marry yes sir for our son sir"

Hadi is still very angry at Atar but he also cannot be selfish, he does not want his beloved daughter to continue to bear the disgrace alone so Hadi also wants Atar to be responsible for his daughter. Hadi who started to calm down then asked.

"Where is your son Jani? Where's your granddaughter?"

Hearing that Atar immediately got up from his knees then he went to the car to take Shabira to see his grandfather.

"Honey let's go see grandpa" Atar asked as he extended his hand to Shabira.

The little girl was still sitting in the corner of the chair staring at her father's hand, her cheeks still wet when Atar realized that her daughter was crying.

"Darling, did you cry? Why are you crying?"

Shabira refused to answer until she chose to speak a thousand languages.

"Did you see what happened? Are you scared because your grandfather is angry? It's all over, baby. Your grandfather has received everything so let's meet your grandfather you don't be afraid, father will always be there for me, to protect you" said Atar still extending his hand to his daughter.

Though hesitant, Shabira finally wants to come with her father out of the car to see her grandfather. Shabira follows Atar from behind.

"Om this is my son and Jani. His name is Shabira Nur Arafah and he is now 9 years old" Atar introduced his daughter to Jani's family.

The little girl still seemed afraid and hesitant, afraid that she was not accepted by this family until she continued to hide behind her father's body.

"Shabira, don't you want to see Grandpa until you keep hiding behind your father's body?" ask Hadi who began to open his heart to accept all this.

The little girl then poked some of her head behind Atar's body to peek at the grandfather who was now extending his hand to greet his grandson. Shabira who began to feel that this family had begun to be able to accept his presence and then he showed his entire small body in front of all.

"God willing, my grandfather's grandson is very beautiful, you are very similar to your mother when she was a child, so remember your mother when she was a child, my dear grandfather wanted to embrace this beautiful granddaughter" said Hadi feeling overwhelmed.

Shabira began to draw a curved line in her lips then she approached the grandfather. Hadi immediately hugged the little body of the grandson. The atmosphere that had stiffened because of the anger of Hadi was now turned into sobbing and happy because their families were reunited with a small presence that added to the family's happiness.
