The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 29
After calling the office driver to pick up her mother, Adi returned to the cafeteria where Fery had been waiting for her. Doldrums Adi shook his body in front of Fery. Sadness over the misfortune in his household made Adi look different.
“What happened to you? I see lately you are not excited as usual.” Fery was surprised to see the change in attitude of his best friend.
“I want to be frank with you about one thing.” Adi looked at Fery nervously. In addition to Johan, he believes Fery is the right person for him to tell the problems that are now very disturbing his mind.
“Wah, just this time I saw an Aditama Prayoga looking desperate. What problems make you look fucked? All this time you were so perfect in everyday life.”
“Helen miscarriage. She will forever not be able to give birth to my son.” said Adi while smoking a cigarette that he just lit. He exhaled his smoke strongly, trying to reduce the burden on his heart. “I was so disappointed, that it killed all the feelings that were there for him.”
“Wah, instead of you loving each other. Is it because Helen had a miscarriage that you are frustrated.” He just listened to Marisa's story about the problems experienced by Linda's daughter-in-law, “You should support each other and strengthen.” as a good friend Fery tried to advise Adi not to regret later on.
Adi rubbed his face with a huff, “You know the biggest mistake I made? Has divorced Hani and does not recognize Hasya as my flesh and blood.” Adi said making Fery gawk in disbelief.
“Gosh!” Fery was surprised to the table shake because he unconsciously nudged the table so much as not believing what he just heard, “Are you drunk?”
Adi returned Fery's gaze fixed on him, “I mean it. The twins and the beautiful little girl are my real daughters. Children I have abandoned because they are stuck with a past filled with lies.”
Fery shook his head after understanding the reality. “Just the face of Dede Sasha is very similar to yours. When I first realized it, I was suspicious. But Hani never told me about you. And Gigi also does not know, who is Hani.”'s husband
Adi shed tears considering the face of his baby who until now he could not hug, only he could touch. “I just realized the mistake I made. All this time I have wasted the twins and divorced Hani for accusing her of having an affair with her best friend so pregnant Hasya.”
Fery wants to punch Adi after hearing his story, “Foolishness that you will regret for a lifetime. It feels like choking you just doesn't make me satisfied. So how did you get involved with Helen?”
Without hiding a bit, Adi told her story without being covered up again. He knew only Fery would be sincere and give the best solution for him. And he was ready to fight back to embrace the happiness that had been lost in his heart.
“...apparently living 3 years with Helen is not what I expected. Not the happiness I get, but loneliness. I feel empty. The hard work I've been doing all this time doesn't produce anything. Plus he has kept the biggest lie, and it destroyed my ego as a man.”
Fery breathed an annoyed sigh after Adi ended his story.
“I'm sure, if Helen didn't have a miscarriage, not necessarily you'd realize the mistake you've been making all this time. I can't give you the best solution. Hani is Gigi's best friend. And he deserves to be happy after what you have done to him and his sons.”
“Tuan Faiq good man. He is very sincere in giving love to your sons and daughters whom you have abandoned. I'm sorry, this time I'm not on your side.”
“Do you think I can go back to Hani and my kids?” Adi looked at Fery anxiously. “I realize since Hani left me, there is no more happiness I feel. It's all about success and achievement. My life is empty by no means..”
“Tama, every action of ours always has consequences. Me and Gigi have been very concerned about the lives of Hani and the children. Since the divorce, Hani's life has been miserable. How he had to nurture and support his three children only rely on food stalls relics of his parents are not small and the help of his sister Hanif. He never complained, but we understand his closed-door attitude. Gigi recounts Hani's husband's affair with his secretary, until her husband's marriage leaves Hani hurt. I can feel Hani's disappointment when her husband brought her honey home.”.
Adi fell silent to Fery's innuendo. Every word Fery makes goes back to the past. It seems that he himself is not strong enough to remember every action he has done.
Fery looked at Adi with an annoyed look. “When the twins are sick, have you ever visited them, paying attention even if only a little. Surely not, right? I heard Gigi's story that Hani refused to give her in-laws, because she did not want to be involved with her ex-husband's family anymore. Fortunately her former lawyer-in-law was kind and persuaded Hani, so as not to incriminate the deceased. And if Hani receives the inheritance, there is automatically no more bond between them, even if only limited to father and son ..” Fery stops his story seeing the face of Adi who is increasingly bend sad.
“I do not know, what has covered the eyes of my heart and mind, to do an act that hurt Hani so much. At that time I had no feelings for him. Our marriage was due to the wishes of the deceased papa.”
“So that's why you had an affair with Helen, got Helen pregnant and married her to take her home with Hani?”
“I've been blinded by love of the past.” Adi cursed himself. “If I admit, I'm comfortable with Hani.”
“Until this second if you don't frankly I'll never know, that Hani's husband is the biggest businessman in the country. And it turns out it was you, my own best friend. Really pissing.”
Adi was stunned to hear Fery's words, “Now God is punishing me for what I have done. But I started to love Hani, I love my kids so much. And I want to be back with them.”
Fery patted Adi's shoulder firmly, “You should have realized this three years ago. Sorry, I'll be back in the room. Gigi later suspects that I've been gone too long.”
After the death of Fery, Adi termangu. He doesn't know what to do now. The regret he now felt was useless. He immersed himself in a prolonged daydream, thinking about the next step he would take.
