The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 19
This day Adi's head felt heavy. Last night he couldn't sleep. His longing for the twins and the little one was so stifling his chest, plus the talk of his mother that made it difficult for him to breathe. With the separation of he and Hani, Adi thought it would make the relationship between her mother and Helen better, but the fact that every conversation between the two of them only brought emotions to both parties. He was really confused thinking about it.
He and Johan just returned from Bandung to see the progress of the construction of his hotel there. After Johan picks up the car at the office, he continues the journey alone. The glance of the clock on the wrist, which indicates four o'clock in the afternoon.
On the outskirts of the city he saw a green park filled with small children. I don't know which whisper made him pull over the car and walk up to a pair of boys playing ball. His eyes were perfectly rounded, it turned out that the twins Ariq and Ali were engrossed in playing ball. His eyes did not blink looking at the two boys.
Adi was feeling sad himself, he walked over to the two. But the twins ignored his presence, still fun to play pass and kick each other. Adi just looked at them from a distance of 4 meters to reduce the feeling of longing that is getting louder until it feels stifling chest.
“Papa cini..” the sound of a crypreng makes Adi turn his head. Hasya was playing with a young man who was still wearing his ASN shirt.
Adi was transfixed to see Faiq walking while holding Hasya's hand that held her fingers firmly while carrying a basket of fruits in her left hand. They both approached Ariq and Ali.
“Mas Ariq, mas Ali go home yok. Udah afternoon, ntar mother angry lo..” He crouched in front of the twins while glancing at the clock on his wrist, “Sunday tomorrow we play again here. Papa promise.”
“Mas puyang's. Mommy later father-dad..” the little one coaxed his sodaranya, made Faiq laugh a little, he ruffled Hasya's kriwil hair and kissed his forehead affectionately.
Adi's heart was choked to see Faiq's treatment of his three children. He was a real father, but never gave touch or caress of genuine affection like the young man did to his three children.
“Tuan ..” the very familiar baritone voice he knew so closely beside him.
Adi walked a bit away from their existence. He turned his head, “Jo, what are you doing here?”
“I'm sorry, because the work agreement was carried inside my briefcase.” Johan looked at Adi who was not focused on hearing her talk. He followed the direction of Adi's eyes. Now he understood that his boss was staring at the three little boys with a grown man playing a ball 5 meters in front of them. “I think maybe Master would like to check it out when at home later.”
“Jo, look how sad my fate is. My kids don't know me, and they're more comfortable playing with strangers.” Adi said in a soft tone. “I want to hug them. I miss them so much that I stifle my chest.”
Johan was stunned, now he knew what influenced his boss' thinking. He felt familiar with the man who was with his boss' children. He tried to remember...
“I know the man. Faiq Al Fareza is the only son of Darmawan, the owner of Horisson Corp. It seems that she has a special relationship with Hani.”.
Johan remembers something, “He is the judge who decided your divorce case and lady Hani.” Johan's eyes could not be seen the four of them who now ended their game. He saw Faiq taking the ball and putting it in his backpack.
Adi flabbergasted, “Is that true?” Adi thought hard, “Means she has known Hani and the kids for a long time?”
“I don't understand, Sir. May madam Hani soon find her soul mate.”
“What do you mean?” Adi was not happy to hear the words of his assistant.
“Pity too right, sir. Lady Hani is young, her children need a father figure.”
Adi's speechless. Will he be willing if Hani and his children soon find a replacement for him. He had never even thought of getting there.
Adi and Johan were silent to see Faiq standing before them, accompanying the twins with Hasya in his arms.
“Good afternoon also Mr. Faiq. Wow, it's nice to bring the kids to play in the park this afternoon.” Johan replied to Faiq.
Faiq nodded his head with a friendly smile, “I have made an agreement with the children, at least once a week bring them to play here. Let them not get bored at home. In addition, it is also good so that they can socialize with the environment.”
“Papa, let's go home.” Ariq tugged at Faiq's pants to get out of there. He felt uncomfortable looking at Adi's gaze that continued to point at them without blinking.
“This acquaintance used to be the same temen papa.” Faiq tried to persuade Ariq and Ali, who were impatient, to the car. Faiq can see Adi's face change while staring at her three children who feel unfamiliar with the presence of their biological father.
The twins directly extended their hands towards Adi and Johan, “Good afternoon, om.” The two greeted Adi together.
Adi's chest felt sliced with indecision hearing his flesh blood calling him om. His reddened eyes held the uncompromising pain perched in his heart.
Hasya who was in Faiq's arms saw Adi without blinking. His round eyes and jelly like the eyes of a Barbie doll, made Adi want to hold and kiss him with all her soul.
Adi sighed looking at his three children. They grow so healthy. Ariq's face is very similar to Hani's, but his eyes are identical to Adi's eyes are sharp like an eagle. While Ali perfect blend between Adi and Hani. He looked at Hasya, the little one who had stolen his heart from the beginning. His chest rumbled wanting to grab the three into a hug. His chest felt tight to withstand the longing that felt heavy.
“Come, play the same om..” Johan trying to take Hasya in a sling Faiq. He realized Adi wanted to hold the little guy, but tried to resist his desire. And he wants to realize Adi's desire to hold and hug the little guy.
“Ndak. Dedek wants itut papa puyang.” He refused Johan's hand which was stretched out to him. His round eyes looked at Johan and Adi alternately.
Adi swallowed his saliva bitterly. He could say nothing at the rejection of his children. His chest rumbled, feeling the sadness that surrounded his heart. His eyes glazed over at Hasya who was hugging Faiq's neck tightly.
“Papa, puyang..” Hasya whispered into Faiq's ear.
“Im sorry kids. They are not used to strangers.” Faiq immediately walked away leaving the two of them. “We'll excuse you. It's late afternoon, if the night of the bath the bunda can be angry.” Faiq smiled at the two.
Faiq's words increasingly hit Adi's heart like a powerful dagger. How he was considered a stranger, while all three were his own flesh and blood. Faiq, who had no blood relation, was so close to the three, and had filled the void he had created for his three children.
His gaze glared at Faiq and the two little angels who were running cheerfully, while Hasya cheerfully hung over Faiq's shoulder. The sound of the fourth laugh is still heard in Adi's ears.
The void enveloped Adi's heart. What he now expects. He shook his body in the garden chair. His bones feel weak. Seeing the scene in front of him made him want to replay the time, where he would pay more attention to Hani and the twins, as well as Hasya who was so strong to bind his heart. Adi's mind was completely confused.
After a moment of silence in the garden chair, finally with a shunt step, Adi walked away from the garden that began to be quiet, because the sun had started to come down to the contest. Johan looked at his boss with a shady feeling.
