Love hindered friendship
Jidan's Secret

Atar's footsteps continued to drive him down the corridor to get to where Jidan was treated. From a distance Atar began to see his wife was pacing, her beautiful face was looking very anxious. Atar immediately approached him and asked Jidan's situation.

"What's going on? Why was Jidan taken to the hospital?"

"I don't know for sure either, why? We were attending a neighboring party, Jidan was allowed to go to the toilet while Shabira and I waited for him while enjoying a meal, when I was about to drink Jidan suddenly ran up to me and immediately grabbed the glass in my hand, he then drank it to the end, shortly after that he grimaced in pain while holding his stomach" said Jani retells the initial chronology Jidan can be taken to the hospital.

Atar, Jani and Shabira then wait for the doctor to finish treating Jidan with anxiety and worry. Not long after the doctor came out of the room. Atar, Jani and Shabira immediately approached him to question the condition of the jidan.

"What happened to my son?" ask Atar.

"We found laxatives that entered his body in high doses, allegedly while the drug entered his body through the drink he drank" replied the Doctor.

"Can you do that? How can such a place of worship have laxatives? Can't it be that those who have a wish to do that on their happy day? Is this something that deliberately put the drug in the drink that Jidan drank?" jane asked confused.

"It could be like that, you said Jidan snatched the drink out of your hands, right?"

Jani then nodded. "Then it seems like the target that should be stomach pain is you are not Jidan. It seems like Jidan knows your drink has laxatives he doesn't want you to get a stomachache so he drinks you. And it looks like Jidan knows who did it" said Atar.

"Who did it then?

" I'm sorry mom, dad, I also want to tell you one more thing" said the doctor.

"What else is it, Doc?" Jani was curious about what the doctor wanted to say.

"You also saw some bruises on the patient's body, it looks like it was a blunt impact"

"How do I mean my doc doesn't understand?" ask Atar

"Seeing from the bruise it looks like the patient got mistreatment from someone"

The doctor's words left Jani, Atar and Shabira dumbfounded. How did Jidan get the scars of the persecution? Who's done that? And what really happened to that boy? During this time Jidan had never spoken anything until from the three people none of them knew what had happened with Jidan.

The doctor then leaves, Atar, Jani and Shabira then enter Jidan's ward. The boy appeared to be lying weakly with an infusion attached to his hand. Jani looked at that innocent face, how full his heart was when he saw Jidan.

How not the soft heart of Jani did not feel sad with the condition of his son, all this time Jani was always at home but he did not even know anything about what was experienced by his son, that makes Jani very sad.

"Jidan how are you doing now?" shabira asked worriedly.

"Now the pain has lessened" replied Jidan.

"Jidan what really happened, why did you get a stomachache like this at the wedding while the others were okay?" ask Atar.

Jidan was instantly speechless as he was afraid to tell his father and his mother everything.

"Tell us, Jidan. Did you know that in the mother's drink there was laxative? This must be intentional, there must be people who deliberately give the drug in the mother's drink, you must know who has done this? Comeing! Tell us everything you know, Jidan" asked Jani, urging Jidan a little.

"And one more, that bruise, how did you get that bruise?" continued Jani.

Jidan was still covering things up because he was afraid to tell the truth. But, Jani continued to persuade him that Jidan would be honest with all until in the end he wanted to admit as well.

"I love my mother, I don't want mother and dede baby why-why. I saw someone put something in the drink and then he told the waitress to deliver the drink to the mother because she was very suspicious I immediately finished the drink so that the mother did not drink it, so the mother did not drink it, I did not think that something that was put into the mother's drink was a stomach drain" said Jidan made Jani touched by the sincerity of his adopted son.

She desperately drinks the drink just to protect Jani and her baby, Jani who is moved and then kisses Jidan's forehead.

"Thank you, you saved my mother, but I'm sorry that you saved your mother so sick" said Jani sadly.

Jidan then nodded his head while reviewing the smile on his lips.

"Now tell your mother who gave you the laxative?"

Jidan then turned to make sure that the situation was safe then he replied with a feeling of fear and doubt briefly, "Mama Raisa"

"What! Raisa's? So the one who did all this was him? He really has gone too far" Atar's inner self while holding back his emotions.

"Jani, this can't be allowed we have to act"

"But we don't have any evidence that he did it, all we have is Jidan"

Atar scrunched his forehead while thinking then he looked at Jidan and asked, "Jidan, the doctor said there are some bruises on your body then how did you get some of those wounds?"

The boy still looks hesitant and afraid to tell everything but Atar convinces Jidan that he told him everything Atar promised to protect Jidan.

Jidan finally told him the bruises on his body were the scars of the persecution carried out by Raisa because he was angry at Jidan because when the pocket money and money to buy Jidan's notebook was checked by Raisa but he refused give it because Jidan's writing book for school is up if he does not buy a book then what about the school.

It invites the wrath of Raisa until he can beat the boy. Jani is really sad to hear Jidan's words, although Jidan is only his adopted son but the boy is also a human child who can feel pain and Raisa does not deserve to treat Jidan like this.

"Don't dad, don't tell Raisa's mom to the police I'm afraid she'll get mad at me" Jidan, who heard Atar's words, panicked and scared.

"You don't worry Jidan, I'll protect you, it's too much and he deserves punishment for what he did so you don't be afraid, just trust me"

Jidan finally budged, his heart slightly calm as he heard and saw Atar's words that looked solemn and reassuring. Atar then looked at Jani, although in fact Atar's heart was still upset over Gio's statement but it felt like this was the right time to tell about Atar's suspicions over the DNA splinter that Raisa gave on behalf of Alif.

Atar also scolded Jani, but there is still one thing that becomes a question in the mind of Jani and Atar. If indeed Raisa took Shabira's hair to be used as a spindle in the name of her baby then when did Raisa take Shabira's hair while at that time she just came into the life of Jani and Atar? The question is still unpredictable by Atar and Jani until this moment. They decided to continue investigating all of this.

...****************...

In a cafe, a man was sitting opposite a blond girl of Australian descent. The atmosphere at that time was still quiet when they were still silent to each other until Gio finally sought an atmosphere.

"Why do you have to follow me here, Ayla?" ask Gio

(Why do you have to follow me here, Ayla?)

"l already told you that because you suddenly returned to Indonesia when telling me first"

(I've told you, it's because you suddenly returned to Indonesia without telling me first)

Gio sighed harshly, he was still inexhaustible with Ayla who was willing to take her to Indonesia just for that reason.

"Indonesia is my birthplace, so it's only natural that if I come back here what's the problem for you?" said Gio

(Indonesia is my homeland so it is natural that if I come back here, then what is the problem for you?)

Ayla looked at Gio's face with a sad look on her face then she said.

"Why do you still not understand Gio, I love you, I just want to always be near you"

(Why do you still not understand Gio, I love you, I just want to be around you, Gio)

Gio scooped his face then threw a rough breath.

"Didn't I explain that we're precisely friends?" gio said firmly

(Don't I explain that we're just friends?)

"l know Gio, I don't care if you accept me or not, the important thing is I want to always be by your side"

(I know Gio, I don't care if you accept me or not what matters is that I want to stay by your side)

Gio's head feels dizzy because of Ayla's stubborn nature who still wants to stay beside him even though Gio's feelings for Ayla are just ordinary like those of his other friends. For now he can't get Ayla back to her home country because the blonde girl must have refused, so he finally told Ayla to find a place to stay.

"It's already late then let me help you find lodging for you to sleep tonight"

(This is it, then let me help find you an inn for you to sleep tonight)

"l don't want to, I want to be at your house" Ayla said.

(I don't want to, I just want to be in your house)

"Indonesia and Australia are different, Ayla. Here you can't live in the same house with a man who is not your husband"

(Indonesia is the same Australia is different Ayla, here you can not live in one house with a man who is not your husband)

"Okey then just make me this as your wife" smart Ayla.

(Well, just make me your wife, Gio)

"What! A wife? You don't make it up how can I be your husband"

(What! Wife? Don't make it up, where can I be your husband)

"Yes already, then let me stay at your house"

(Yes, then let me stay in your house)

Gio is really dizzy made by Ayla, she knew Ayla would not give up until her wish was realized from that Gio was forced to allow Ayla to stay at her home for a while before she had a way to tell her to return to her home country, in his house there is also his mother, his father and his mother's sister named Seno.
