Night Destiny
Last Help

"Alika?" asked Azka to make sure.

"Right, he's in the lobby and forcing a meeting with you."

Azka sighed, "Let him enter!."

Saga, Redi and Alvin exchanged lyrics as if asking through the eyes.

"Boss, are you sure you let him in?" asked Alvin.

Azka looked at her assistant for a moment. "Isn't Darius coming? This matter must be resolved right now."

No one disputes Azka's words. The door was knocked back and before long Alika entered the room.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, Mr. Azka. I just want -!."

"Sit down" Alika obeyed Azka. Seeing many people on the sofa, Alika looked confused about where to sit. Saga and Redi decide to leave, while Alvin stays there to make sure nothing happens. Although nothing will happen between them. As an assistant, he must be on Azka's side, right?.

"Sorry" Alika opened the conversation.

"For what?" asked Azka flatly.

Alika looked at the man in front of her. The man who was the superior of his in-laws. A man who does not look at himself as despicable other than his husband.

"I heard your wife left because of a misunderstanding between us. I feel guilty."

Azka remained with her cold face. "Everything has nothing to do with you."

"Replace ...."

"Get in!," Alika's remark was cut off because of the knock on the door

A middle-aged man appeared to enter the room. His face was so clearly in shock.

"Do you want to be here?" he asked fiercely.

Alika was only able to bow, she did not expect to meet her in-laws here. How could? Is this a coincidence or did Azka deliberately invite this man here.

"For so long you have been known as a man of high courtesy, Mr. Darius. But it seems like today, all that news is broken by your attitude."

Dairua froze, he just did not expect to meet his daughter-in-law in his own boss' office. Darius gave a sharp look at the woman. It certainly did not escape Azka's sight.

"I'm sorry sir, Azka. I'm just surprised to see it here."

Azka stopped her work, the man stood up and approached Darius who was still frozen in his place.

"Sit down first."

Darius followed his boss' orders. He sat across from Alika, certainly not forgetting his sharp gaze that looked so clear. Alvin went straight out because he did not have the right to interfere with their problems.

Darius was silent, apparently the news circulating about the departure of his boss' wife is not mere gossip. And everything has to do with his son-in-law. Darius looked more and more at the cynical woman who was the wife of his son.

"From the beginning you made the wrong decision, sir. You shouldn't be helping this woman!."

Alika was still down, not daring to look at the in-laws, but she was tired of being constantly despised by him.

"Aren't we obligated as human beings to help each other?" Azka said, again silencing Darius's mouth.

"You rejected Alika because of her past. Doesn't everyone have a past? And everyone has the right to fix their lives."

"But she is a former comfort woman. Definitely not worth it with my son, Dani."

Alika grasped tightly her skirt. As for Azka, she looked at Darius casually.

"Why with comfort women? If you think rationally, a woman will never sell herself. He certainly had a reason behind his decision. After all, when I knew Alika, I saw she was a good woman."

Alika's heart warmed to Azka's praise. She feels valued as a woman.

"You've been deceived by this woman, sir. Don't believe-!."

"The woman you always despise is your daughter-in-law! She's even pregnant with your granddaughter!. Don't you have a little sympathy for him. When a wife is pregnant, of course she wants to be accompanied by her husband. But what are you and your family doing? You forbid her to see her husband. You always try to hurt her! If I report your actions to the police, then I'll make sure you're in jail.!."

The face of Darius was instantaneous, he did not expect that Azka knew all his deeds.

"People who look bad, are not always bad. People who look perfect are not always perfect. We cannot judge a person from outside. Same with your daughter-in-law Alika. We don't even know how much he must ask God for forgiveness and improve himself,"

Deg

Darius looked at his daughter-in-law who was still looking down. True what Azka said, he did not know how hard the woman was trying to improve herself.

"After all, you should be grateful, thanks to Alika, your son recovered from his drug addiction. They are not a perfect couple, but they are trying to improve together. Become a better human being and have a happy family like everyone in general. I am devastated by the loss of my wife. My life collapsed instantly. I don't even think I can live my life anymore. If only no family supported me to stay strong, maybe I would end up in a mental institution. Do you want your son to have such a fate?."

"Sorry to interrupt your words," Alika ventured to speak. "I know I'm not a perfect woman. And true, I do not deserve to be with Mas Dani. I love him without seeing who he is. So even if I have to go, I don't have a problem."

Darius looked back at his daughter-in-law,

"Mas Dani deserves to be happy even if not with me. He has a family that loves him very much. And I'm not worried about leaving it now."

Azka looked at Darius who looked worried,

"I think this problem is over. Thank you, Mr. Azka for helping me. Then, excuse me first."

Finished it all. The hope that Alika had brought earlier seemed to just disappear. He was destined to live alone again. No, she will live alone with her son.

The woman stepped foot towards the door,

"Wait ...," Alika turned around and looked at her in-laws, Darius let out a long sigh. "I ... Restore your relationship!."
