CHAPTER 28

🌹HAPPY READING🌹

"Now Zahra after Mother, yes. Apologize to Mother," said Dee gently rubbing tears on Zahra's cheeks.

"Can you take Zahra Umi?" zahra Pinta.

Dee nodded. He stands up and pushes Zahra's wheelchair out of the house to catch up with Sofia who is in the front garden of Ibra's house. Ibra looked at Dee and Zahra with a smile on her lips.

"Mother," called Zahra softly while behind the park bench that Sofia and Kevin occupied.

Sofia wiped her tears quickly and looked back, as well as Kevin.

"Son," said Kevin softly and immediately stood up to Zahra.

Kevin is in front of Zahra's wheelchair. "Zahra, I'm sorry Dad, yes," said Kevin.

Zahra. "Nobody needs Zahra to be sorry about Dad. Dad is the best Dad that Zahra has and there will never be another. Because of Father's presence, Zahra has three great men in Zahra's life. Abi, Brother and Father," replied Zahra softly.

I don't know why, but you really look like Dee, son. Be sincere, patient and firm at the same time. Kevin's inner self is amazed by Zahra who reflects Dee's personality.

"A father's biggest heartbreak is to see his daughter living unhappily, son. And that was a failure for Dad. Father even failed to keep a promise to Abi Ibra to always take care of Zahra," said Kevin.

Zahra leaned over and hugged Kevin tightly. "There is no other good fortune in this world, other than Zahra's life surrounded by good and dear people with Zahra," Zahra said sincerely.

"May Zahra speak to Mother, Father?"

Kevin looked at Sofia for a while then looked back at Zahra. "Then Dad went inside to catch up with Abi," Kevin said, nodding.

"Yes Well" replied Zahra.

Kevin stands up and leaves Zahra with Dee and Sofia there.

"Then Umi also left, son," said Dee pamit.

Zahra. "Umi has to be here" said Zahra.

"But Nak-"

"Umi has to be here" said Zahra once again.

Dee sighed softly and nodded in agreement to Zahra's request. It's not that Dee doesn't want to meet Sofia, but she wants to give Sofia and Zahra time for both.

"Mother," call Zahra soft.

"Yes dear" replied Sofia.

"I'm sorry for all Zahra's words, Mother. Zahra did not mean to blame Mother. It's just the words of Mother, Mother gave to the wrong person," said Zahra explained to Sofia.

Zahra pulled Dee's hand up to stand right next to her. "Look at Umi, Mommy," said Zahra softly.

Sofia looked at Dee who was also staring at her. "This heartfelt face is the face of the person whom Mother used to hurt her heart very deeply. But he was still willing to accept Zahra and teach Zahra many things. Although Umi knows that Zahra is the child of Mother," said Zahra.

"I'm sorry Umi, son," Sofia said, turning her eyes to Zahra.

Zahra. "Not to Zahra, but apologize to Umi" said Zahra.

"Zahra" said Dee, who shook his head, disagreed with Zahra's request. She feels bad for Sofia. Zahra was clearly Sofia's biological child, but Zahra defended her more than Zahra.

"Zahra is not a favoritism to Umi or Mommy. But the words that Mother said must have hurt Umi very much. Luckily it was not Bang Al and Adek who heard it, Mother. Because if that happens, then Mother again breaks the heart of one family," said Zahra confidently and without hesitation to Sofia.

Sofia was only able to shake with her chin shaking withstanding her cries. "Mother is just defending you, son. Mommy just does not accept if your child is treated very badly like that by her husband," said Sofia.

"Why was Umi blamed? Marrying Ken is Zahra's wish. Even before receiving a proposal from Kak Ken, Umi asked Zahra to contact Mommy to ask for blessing. But Zahra didn't do it. So this is not Umi's fault, Mother. Don't create guilt in Umi's heart. Zahra doesn't like it" Zahra said without hesitation.

Dee who heard that is getting worse. He shouldn't be here right now.

"Zahra loved Umi just as Zahra loved Mother. There is no child who is not dear to his parents, Mother," said Zahra.

Sofia who heard Zahra's words turned to Dee who was also looking at her. "I'm sorry for the umpteenth time, Dee," Sofia said regretfully.

"I shouldn't have told you all that. I'm sorry," continued Sofia.

"I see, you said that just because of your instincts as a mother, Sofia," Dee said sincerely.

Sofia nodded. "I should thank you, Dee. Not blaming you like that" Sofia said.

Dee nodded with her sweet smile. "Now Umi is the same Mother is better, Zahra do not be sad anymore, yes," said Dee staring at Zahra.

Zahra smiled to see Mother and Uminya who loved her so much. At least, Zahra could be the reason Umi and Mommy smiled. Inner Zahra.

"Son," call Sofia softly.

"Yes Mother" replied Zahra.

"Has the divorce papers been signed?" ask Sofia.

Zahra. "Zahra wanted Ken's brother to come here nicely to ask for an autograph. Just like when I asked Zahra," replied Zahra.

"But Zahra"

"Zahra has asked Ken's brother, Umi," Zahra said cutting Dee's words.

Zahra is still trying to defend Zahra's household, Umi. But if it's tomorrow, Ken's brother won't come. Maybe Zahra will choose to leave. Inner Zahra.

"If Kenzo doesn't come?" ask Sofia.

Zahra looked at Dee and Sofia alternately before answering Sofia's question. "Let Zahra go, Umi, Mother."

.....

Kenzo looked at the brown map in front of him. With all his heart, Kenzo opened the map. There are many pieces of paper in the map.

Kenzo read each row of numbers that form a word about Zahra's life information.

DEG

Kenzo's heart beats fast when he learns of information that could tear his heart down. "Ja-so, Zahra isn't Umi Dee's biological child?," muttered Kenzo wistfully.

Kenzo closed his eyes neutralizing his heartbeat. "What have I done?" Kenzo muttered.

Kenzo kept reading every piece of writing there. It was one of the most painful things for him to know that Zahra's presence was originally due to a compulsion.

"I'm ruining his life even more" Kenzo told himself.

"Could Zahra still forgive this despicable husband?" said Kenzo sendu.

"Working tomorrow I'll come, Zahra."
