The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 26
They were sitting across from the hospital cafeteria. The gazes of the two hit each other trying to find the weak point of each. But no one wants to give up. Adi will start his fight again.
Hanif sighed, “How are you, former brother-in-law. I heard your company became the best in the country.” Hanif said after a moment of silence. He doesn't want to waste time. His arrival this time was because Faiq was in direct contact to accompany Hani who was guarding Hasya.
“Help me to return with Hani and the kids.” Adi couldn't hold back her feelings any longer. He has to start now.
“Ha ha ha...” Hanif could not help his cynical laughter hearing Adi's words, “What you forgot Mr. Aditama. How your lawyer skinned Hani's brother on trial. You don't seem to know the character of your ex-wife.”
“But I need my kids. I'm sure if I can take my kids' hearts, Hani will take me back.”
“You know, Mr. Aditama. It is not easy to soften my brother's heart.”
Adi was caught hearing Hanif's words. “How do I get back with them? I'm going to divorce Helen.”
Hanif frowned at Adi's last words, “I'm not sure what you're saying, sir. Ma'am Hani will also soon be married to Mas Faiq. And I respect their relationship. Don't you know, they're engaged. I wish happiness to those whom you have taken for so long.”
“I won't let that man take away my children.” Adi began to be provoked to hear Hanif's words. “I will fight for my children and bring them back together.”
Hanif smiled, he was sure there must be something going on between Adi and Helen, so Adi insisted on going back to Hani. “How about madam Linda. He won't be happy to hear your wishes, sir. And you don't have to expect to do all that easily.”
“Helen won't be able to give birth to my children. Her uterus is broken.” Adi doesn't want to keep this secret for too long. He hoped Hanif would understand, because Hanif's body was his flesh and blood.
Hanif became emotional hearing Adi's words, “You think it's easy to take custody of them, after what did the lawyer and your wife Helen do?”
“I regret everything that happened. Please help me. Don't let another man take away my precious possessions.” Adi begs expectantly.
Hanif stuck, “So easy you say that, Mr. Adi. After throwing away your wife and children, you now want to take them back. Even if your money is a mountain, it will not be easy for you to take the rights that you have released.”
Adi looked at Hanif with a sad face. He was frustrated to hear the answer of his former brother-in-law who did not support his wishes. “If you don't help me, I'll fight myself to take all mine.”
“You don't get greedy. Your struggle will be difficult, because Faiq has held all your cards. He will not let go of Mbak Hani, let alone the children can not get away from him.” Hanif tried to remind Adi, “Do not waste your money on something you cannot win. I'll go back to the room. And this conversation will not have an impact on your relationship that has been separated.” without expecting Adi's approval, Hanif immediately stepped away. He was determined to discuss the matter with Faiq, as he believed Faiq would decide what was best for them.
Arriving in Helen's room, Adi saw her mother was already there. He knew, even though his mother often quarreled with Helen, but the feeling was still there for his daughter-in-law pride.
“How are you doing?” Adi stood beside Helen's bed, looking at her pale face and pity in Adi's heart.
“I'm sorry, for not being able to keep this fetus.” Helen's eyes began to glaze over. He knew, after this incident, he knew what else the problems he would face. And her biggest fear is that Adi knows the secret she's been hiding all along.
Linda looked at Helen with a look of disappointment, “Mama has reminded you from the beginning. At your age will be prone to getting pregnant and having children.”
Adi breathed a heavy sigh. He wanted Helen to be honest about her past, so that there were no more lies she would hear. But to ask that question now, it still doesn't feel right. He shook his body on the sofa, opened his cell phone to tell Johan that he would not return to the office.
“How about the baby tube program? Mama still hopes Helen's pregnant with your child. Many who managed to have a child through a baby tube.” Linda looked at Adi and Helen alternately.
“Mama we better talk about this outside.” Without asking for Helen's opinion, Adi took Linda outside the room. He did not want Helen to hear what he had known from dr. Sarinah. Because until now Adi still feels tremendous disappointment over the lies that Helen did. If he knew from the beginning, of course the story would be different, and he should not be responsible for past events, because he was not the first man in Helen's heart.
“What do you want to talk about?” Linda became curious about Adi's cold attitude towards Helen, no more the affection and tenderness she showed when she was with Helen. The two were looking for a place a bit away from the room where Helen was, worried that their conversation could still be heard.
Adi looked at her mother with a glance. He knew the disappointment Linda felt as well as how she felt. “Helen won't be able to give birth to my son. Her uterus is deformed, even if she is pregnant, but the fetus it contains will not last long.”
“Astagfirullahaladjim..” Linda shut her mouth in disbelief. “So forever I won't have grandchildren?” linda's sense of pride and confidence seems to be crashing to the bottom of the earth hearing Adi's words. The daughter-in-law he is proud of for coming from a family equal to them and he hopes will give birth to future grandchildren to be the successors of the family's glory and pride , until he expelled his own son-in-law and grandchildren he had possessed only because they were from a simple family. Linda felt her body weakly helpless. He patted his chest which was suddenly painful.
Adi nodded his head softly, that was all he wanted to tell Linda. For another secret Adi will hide it for a while. Both are in silence. Without feeling the tears Linda flows dripping down her thin cheeks that are now getting thinner. He doesn't know what to do now, his mind is completely dead-end, unassailable.
