Married With Single Parent
S3~MWSP~52 (Flashback 1)

...Happy reading...

****

With such a strong determination Zico met his former in-laws who were in the city of E. He had not been to his former father-in-law's house for a long time, since he became Laura's husband only a few times he went to her home-in-law was also out of respect for both parents who have been friends for a long time with Laura's parents and also so as not to raise suspicion if her household with Laura was unhappy.

Hendra looked at his son-in-law in wonder, because Zico came to his house alone. With curiosity soaring high Hendra asked Zico who he had considered his own son because he knew Zico had made his son happy from the story of Laura which turned out to be just a lie from the lips Laura. "You came alone to Papa's house? Where are Laura and Dirga? Papa misses them so much!" asked Hendra curiously.

Zico looked at his former in-laws with a hard-to-read look. "We've been divorced a long time, Pa!" zico replied firmly making Hendra stare intently at Zico. Hendra was deeply shocked by Zico's confession.

"Divorce? Since when? Why don't we know about your divorce? What was the reason you decided to get divorced? Don't you guys love each other?" asked Hendra in a sharp tone he held his chest that suddenly hurt but his curiosity level was higher.

Ratna who had just come from the kitchen carrying drinks and snacks for her son-in-law became shocked from hearing everything. He looked at Zico with teary eyes. "Can you explain everything?" asked Ratna with a witty look.

Zico nodded in agreement. "Our marriage happened because of an arranged marriage, I thought I would live happily with Laura, it turned out I was wrong, all this time we were unhappy because I thought our marriage happened because of the company. We decided to divorce after Laura gave birth. We were distressed to finally part ways" Zico said calmly but did not tell us why they divorced because he often tortured Laura and betrayed her by sleeping with a paid woman. Zico doesn't want his former in-laws to hate him and he can't talk to Laura, his plan will fail if both of his in-laws hate him.

"But the reason I'm here is because I want to talk to Laura. I admit my mistake, please forgive my mistake, Pa, Ma," Zico said softly as if he was deeply hurt by the separation of himself and Laura.

"We marry you, because we know you love each other. We hope you will be happy, company problems indeed we help your father so that his company does not go out of business. But what we got, you let us down, Zico!" said Hendra sharply clenched his hands with a moment of tight omens he was angry but as much as possible he could bear.

"Now where are Laura and Dirga? And did both of your parents know about your divorce?" asked Ratna who was already crying looking at Zico full of disappointment.

"Laura and Dirga were in their home. We decided to keep our divorce a secret because we don't want to disappoint you with the decision we made" Zico said.

"But you disappointed us Zico. Imagine 2 more years we don't know if you're separated! What is the fate of my son out there? She was still too young to take care of a baby without a husband by her side!" hendra said with wrath.

"Zico's sorry, Pa. And Zico wants to talk to Laura" said Zico.

"Repent? It's been 2 years you've been sorry, Zico?" ask Ratna who is not in thought with her former daughter-in-law.

"Zico please, Pa, Ma. Encourage Laura to talk to Zico. Poor Dirga, he is still very small if you have to part with both parents," said Zico with compassion.

Hendra sneered at his temple, he could not think of his son and son-in-law who kept their divorce a secret. They are both parents but like strangers who know nothing.

"Where's Laura's home address?" asked Hendra flatly.

"Still in the same town as Zico, Pa. In housing A," said Zico.

"We're going to go to Laura" Hendra said firmly, believing that something was wrong with Zico until Laura divorced Zico without her knowledge.

Zico grinned inwardly as he was sure Laura would return to be his wife.

Hendra and Ratna were already in front of Laura's house which looked very small. The two look at each other wryly, the child they so pamper must face the rigors of life without any help from them when Laura and Zico get divorced.

Hendra knocked on his son's house impatiently. So did Ratna until they heard Laura's voice from inside.

Laura looked at her parents who were in front of her crying.

"M-mama, P-papa," said Laura stammeringly and wordlessly, her parents hugged Laura tightly. Laura wept dumbstruck at the sight of the two old men she so longed for as well as cried hugging her, do not forget Dirga who hugged Laura with fear seeing two unknown people.

"Why can..." Laura could not continue her words because the father was looking at her sharply.

"You hid this from Papa and Mama!" hendra said sharply making it difficult for Laura to swallow her saliva.

"Laura didn't mean to disappoint Papa and Mama. Laura..."

"Follow Papa and Mama home!"

"But..."

"You can't argue with Papa!" hendra said coldly.

"Come, kid!" ratna said firmly.

"And what is this...?" Hendra pulls Laura's necklace just like that when he finds something he suspects so much.

"THE CCTV? What's this thing for? Did Zico put it up?" asked Hendra sharply.

"THE CCTV? Laura doesn't know, Pa!" laura said stifled and her mind was fixed on Leon.

"Mas Leon!" murmured Laura who could still be heard by her parents.

"What's? Try mentioning it again? You let another man stalk you, Laura? You are a widow!" snapping Hendra involuntarily frightened Laura.

"Patience, Pa!" ratna said by stroking her husband's shoulder.

"This can't be allowed, Ma. Our son is widowed and someone has installed CCTV in his necklace. Is that not stalking and abusing our child? Papa believes this house is also installed CCTV! Let Papa check and we have to destroy it before we take Laura and Dirga away" Hendra said coldly.

Laura was terrified when she saw her father scolding her, her body trembling as Hendra meticulously inspected the entire corner of her house. "LAURA ARE YOU NOT AWARE THAT THIS HOUSE IS INSTALLED WITH CCTV, HUH? PAPA WILL RUIN IT AND YOU WITH DIRGA MUST COME WITH PAPA AND MAMA HOME! WAIT FOR YOUR EXPLANATION AT HOME. ABOUT YOUR DIVORCE! ABOUT KEEPING IT TO US AND ABOUT THE INTENTIONS OF THIS CCTV!"

Hendra drags his son home after damaging the CCTV in Laura's house and in Laura's necklace. He was really angry with Laura, Laura's explanation was very much awaited after this, Hendra did not care about Laura and Dirga who were scared because of her, because of her, the door to Laura's house if it's not locked because Hendra is already angry with his son.
