Substitute Woman
Forgive Not Let Go

Hendry visits Gerald, he wants to see his condition. After Adrian tells about Kanaya's meeting with Gerald. Actually, Hendry was so lazy to meet him, he was afraid of khilaf torturing Gerald. But after seeing Gerald's condition is really messy and worrying. There was compassion in Hendry's heart.

"Call Vanya to take out the bullet lodged in his leg" Hendry told Adrian.

"I am not an angel without anger, but I am also not a god worthy of judging you. I'm just a normal human being who can have anger and sadness".

"But one thing is certain, my wife's death was her destiny. It is time to meet the almighty. It's just, the way through in a way I never imagined before" Hendry took a deep breath and slammed into it violently.

"I forgive you doesn't mean I forgive you. You still have to pay for all the actions you have done" said Hendry with a tired look but glared sharply at Gerald.

"I'll do anything for you sir. I beg you to let me go" whined Gerald

"It's not that easy I'm going to let go of you. You need to nourish your body first. I'll make sure you're well taken care of" Gerald gave a big smile because he was happy with what Hendry said. He was convinced that Hendry would let him go.

"Pa, are you sure you want to take it off?" Adrian was astonished by the decision of his father-in-law.

"Sure, father sure. Peace is better than revenge. The father did not want to discolor the heart" Adrian so salute with the words of the in-laws are very wise. You can release all anger easily.

"Hopefully I can follow in the footsteps of your pema'afmu pa" Adrian murmured inwardly with admiration.

"Pa, Gerald's condition has now recovered. Is papa gonna let him go today?" Hendry who was drinking his coffee immediately choked to hear the words of his son-in-law who rada somplak.

"What are you talking about Adrian? When will the father speak let go of the rogue clairvoyant?" Adrian narrowed his eyes looking at Hendry.

"It is not when the father says that the father does not want to discolor the heart of the father. Father has forgiven Gerald" Adrian so plainly spoke to Hendry. Kanaya who heard this immediately squinted her eyes at Hendry.

"Is that so pa?" search for Kanaya who looks so terrible. Hendry's feathers goosebumps looking at Kanaya's cynical gaze exactly when her mother is in female mode ready to pounce.

"It's not like that, baby. The Father forgives but does not release him".

"Find it safe first rather than silence" Hendry cried in his heart.

"Lha then the father said. "a loaf of bread was thrown right on Adrian's face. Hendry's eyes winked towards Kanaya.

"Papa why? His eyes are glimmers".

"Honey, take eye drops for father dong" Adrian told Kanaya to go take the eye drops.

Hendry could only glare at his son-in-law who did not have the same sense of understanding as his father-in-law. Adrian saw Hendry who just kept looking at him sharply. Adrian was confused by his in-laws' attitude. Has he done anything wrong? It took about five minutes for Adrian to notice. He immediately closed his mouth, then pointed towards Kanaya who had left leaving the two of them who were still enjoying the morning in the dining room.

"Don't make the lioness mosquito early in the morning" Hendry said.

"You're stupid what's too smart anyway" Hendry chirped at his daughter-in-law who had made the mood of the morning is too big.

"At that time it was my own father who said, if the father had forgiven Gerald" Adrian still insistent with his opinion.

"Pardoning does not mean letting go. The father already had his own plan to teach him a lesson" Adrian gawked at the words of the in-laws.

"meaning?" tanyanya.

"I was saluted and proud of the wisdom of the father who forgave Gerald. And accept the death of Mama Mira as a destiny" said Adrian pitched full of amazement.

"Death is not destiny. Anyone would die. Why blame destiny. Indeed, if Gerald dies Mira will live again" Adrian immediately shook his head like a child.

"What does Father mean at that time?" Adrian was astonished by her in-laws' words. He's not an interpreter who can guess.

"The father had a special plan to punish him".

"That means the father intends to take revenge" Adrian straightened out the meaning of the intention of the in-laws.

"Not revenge, rather prank" Hendry did not want to lose the argument with Adrian.

"Just like pa" Adrian was still insistent with his thoughts.

"As for you, as long as you are happy" Adrian was surprised to hear the words gokil from his parents-in-law.

After the debate was over between the two of them who ended up defeating Hendry. The two of them go together to meet Gerald, who is still in the hostage situation.

"How are you today, Gerald?" greet Hendry when he sees Gerald resting on a small cot.

"This way, better than our last meeting before"

"I can't wait to get out of this place" Gerald smiled happily.

"Good, the sooner you heal. The sooner you will work" Adrian and Gerald were immediately stunned to hear the words from Hendry.

"What do you mean, pa?" Gerald tried to dare to ask this question.

"You will work on me as a punishment for your wrongdoing" Hendry said clearly and steadily. Gerald was shocked by what he had just heard.

"Don't you forgive me?" the happiness that had enveloped his heart, now had to swallow bitter disappointment.

"I'm sorry doesn't mean you'll be out of punishment for your wrongdoing". Gerald looks gloomy now.

"Prepare, tomorrow you will be entrusted to someone I tell you to watch over. If you act, just be ready to stay your name" Hendry threatened to make Gerald goosebumps.

There was no response or response from Gerald about the threat from Hendry. Gerald felt that life or death were of no use now. Surely he must still die as atone for the death of his wife Henry. There was no longer any chance for him to live in peace. He will live a tormented life.

After Hendry's departure, Gerald pondered about his life. Had he not been reckless and spewed the flames of war upon Adrian. Maybe he is still living comfortably. As much as possible he will try to revive his company that is almost bankrupt. However, now all wishful thinking is only a mere wishful thinking. All that happened was the fault of her being unable to control her ego.

"I'm sorry Gerald pi. This son of yours failed to boast of you" Gerald swept away the tears that flowed down his cheeks.

Gerald broke the small mirror in his treatment room. He took the broken mirror. With trembling hands, hearts were doubtful as well as afraid. Gerald abandoned his intention to end his life. However, again his ego does not want to be slowly tortured by Hendry. He set out his intention to end his life. The flakes from the pointed and sharp mirror shards were thrust directly into his neck. Until fresh blood flowed. The pain and pain felt by Gerald. Until he really couldn't feel anything anymore. Finally, he gave up his own life without the help of Hendry or Adrian to end his life. Excessive fear, making him unable to see his life in the future. Gerald chose to die, rather than be a jongos Hendry or Adrian.
