Mother To Nasha
Chapter 38

...~Happy Reading~...

“What's the darling?” Khalifa was only able to shake her head slowly, while continuing to hug the father who was now in front of her. His heart ached, and also sore and tight because Hilal blamed him.

Maybe it is true that it is wrong, Khalifa should have spoken first to Hilal, asking for an opinion so that there is no misunderstanding going forward. However, he is not a perfect human being, where there are times when he can make mistakes.

In fact, a thousand good will be covered with a speck of evil. And that's what Khalifa is feeling right now. 

“Assalamaicum, Abi ... “ Hilal approaches his father-in-law and kisses the back of his hand.

“Walaikumsalam,” replied abi Mike.

“Sorry Abi, we were—“

“You made my daughter cry Hilal?” His father-in-law's gaze was so sharp, even his voice had started to change not as gently as usual. Hilal himself realized that what he was doing might be wrong.

“Sorry Abi,”

“Why?” abi Mike asked so coldly, “Why did you make my daughter cry? What has he done?”

Hilal also recounts all the events that happened between him, Aca and Khalifa. Where now Aca is being treated for being too depressed to think about her missing mother's photo. Hilal slightly blamed Khalifa for not speaking to him or telling him in the first place.

During this time, no one was sensitive to the change in attitude of the Aca, which was indeed different from usual. Until the moment arrived yesterday the boy just vented his heart and ended up fainting.

If only, Khalifa said from the beginning. Perhaps, Hilal could invite his daughter both well and try to give her an explanation or a clear reason. Because actually, he just did not understand and only found out about the photo of Kirana when Aca was sick.

Withdrawing his breath long enough, abi Mike rubbed back his daughter's head, “Darling, you wait Abi in the car huh?”

“But Abi—“ Khalifa raised her head, trying to shake her head but the smile on her father's face that seemed different made Khalifa finally nod her head and leave.

However, just before she left, she took the time to turn to her husband. Can Hilal see how disappointed his Khalifa is to him, but Hilal just chose silence as if he didn't want to hold her back at all.

“Hilal ... “ Abi Mike turned his head a little, made sure that his Princess had properly left, then looked back at his daughter-in-law, “Infliction, you blame my daughter because your daughter is sick?”

“Not so Abi, it's just—“

“Hilal, have you forgotten? Is your wife also a princess? And I'm the father! How does it feel to see your child sick? Crying out? You already know what it feels, right? And what do you want to do? Blame your wife? Punishing her till expelling her?”

"Sorry Abi, Hilal never drove Khalifa away!" ralat Hilal made Abi Mike immediately smile cynically.

"Don't blame me, if I'm going to interfere in your household! Although Khalifa will refuse, and will still choose you! But believe me, no father wants to see his son treated like this by his husband!”

“Ah one more Hilal! About the photos, let alone another woman! In fact, a wife will be jealous of her mother-in-law, when she loves her husband so much but her husband is concerned with her mother. Moreover it's ex-wife!” abi Mike put emphasis on the final word before he finally left his son-in-law and followed the princess who was already in the car.

“Abi wait a minute! Hilal didn't mean it that way, Abi!” Abi Mike ignored Hilal's screams, his footsteps continuing to step forward with a mixed feeling of annoyance and anger. 

Meanwhile, Hilal was about to catch up with his father-in-law, but his steps came to a halt when he heard a voice calling out to him from behind. Until finally made her have to undo the intention and immediately return to her daughter's room.
