The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 38

The new clock shows at 9 am, after breakfast in the hotel room Faiq and Hani will soon return home. Hani could not separate even one day with her three children. They leisurely left the room to the lobby. Faiq did not want to wait too long, immediately calling home for Karman to come and pick him up. An hour later, the two arrived home.

“Mothers with papa dayi where?” hasya had welcomed the two as soon as they reached the residence of Adi's parents.

“Papa sama munda no need little, so that the flattek can be temen main.” Faiq replied that Hani immediately pinched him with annoyance.

Marisa and Darmawan smiled listening to Faiq's relaxed answer no burden. They feel the happiness that their son now feels just their wayang.

“Where are two papa hotshot none visible?” Faiq looked in all directions looking for the two boys who were not with them.

“Still shower with Lina.” Marisa.  “There's something I want to tell you both.”

Faiq and Hani looked at each other. The two follow in Marisa's footsteps walking towards the living room sofa. They were silent for a while, only Marisa's breath seemed to think of something.

“What do you think?” Seeing her mother's mimicry made Faiq a little worried.

Marisa looked at Hani's face gently. “Mama got word that Linda is in the hospital.”.

“Then what does this have to do with us?” chase Faiq fast.

“He passed out while attending your reception last night.” Marisa stares at the two alternately, “Mother wants to invite you and Hani to visit her, if you don't mind.”.

“What do you think, Ra...?” Faiq looked at Hani wanting to hear his wife's answer.

“If it can bring good, I follow.” Said Hani slowly. She also felt uncomfortable hearing Linda pass out at their wedding reception.

At exactly 4 pm Marisa, Faiq and Hani had walked to Linda's inpatient room. Hani carries a fruit parcel in his left hand. His right hand was within Faiq's grasp. Marisa smiled watching the intimacy of her son and daughter-in-law.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” the three compactly say hello once the door is open.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Adi who was about to get out contacted Johan was surprised to see the three guests who were in front of him. “Please enter, aunt.”

“Thank you.” Marisa nodded her head at Adi who opened the door wide for them.

Faiq could feel Adi's gaze fixed on his wife. He patted Adi firmly on the shoulder, “We are sorry for the calamity that befell aunt Linda.”

Adi immediately turned his face away from Hani. He realized the punch on his shoulder reminded him that the owner did not like anyone else staring at his property intensely.

“Thanks, Reza.” Finally Adi again called Faiq with his small name when they used to play together in childhood.

Marisa and Hani stand by the bed. Linda's condition seems weak. He looked around, not seeing Helen in the same room as them.

“Are you alone with Tama, where's your son-in-law?” Marisa feels sorry for being concerned about Linda's condition.

Highlight the eyes of Linda who was happy for Marisa's visit with her son and daughter-in-law immediately dimmed. He doesn't want to hear that name anymore.

“I am a failed mother, Mar.” her eyes glazed over as she said that. His gaze turned to Adi and Faiq who were now sitting on the sofa.

“No mother failed. The proof is that you have made your only son a great businessman so respected among entrepreneurs.” Marisa tried to comfort Linda who seemed to grieve.

Linda's gaze turned to Hani. She saw her former daughter-in-law so well groomed that her aura of beauty came out perfect. “Pardon your mother's mistake all this time to you, Han.” Linda's hand stretched out trying to grab Hani's hand.

Marisa nods her head as a signal for Hani to fulfill Linda's wish. Slowly Hani grabbed Linda's cold, pale hand.

“Tante did nothing wrong to me. Everything has passed. I have long forgiven aunt.” Hani said in a soft tone.

From a distance of 4 meters, Faiq and Adi heard their chatter. The two kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Occasionally Faiq observed Adi who was stealing glances at Hani while sighing heavily.

“Mama regrets letting you and Adi divorce.” Linda's tears fall apart when she says that. “Mama misses the grandchildren of mama.”

“Tante...” Hani cuts Linda's word, “That's just the past. Auntie knows, we both already have a family each.”

“Mama is very guilty of you and your grandchildren.”.

Everyone was stunned to hear Linda's words. Faiq and Adi walked over to Linda's bed. Faiq quickly grabbed Hani by the waist and grabbed him tightly.

Adi saw Faiq's treatment. He can only look away. The jealousy he had was already unfounded. Hani is no longer his, he has thrown away the most beautiful gift that the creator has bestowed upon him.

“Tante, I am aware that there is aunty blood flowing in the bodies of my three children. And I will not break the cord if aunt wants to meet all three.”

“Mas is proud of you dear..” whispered it in Hani's ear.

Adi looked at the scene with a faint heart. The happiness that he should have held firmly, but without remaining, what he now hoped for.

“Are you going to allow if mama and Adi meet with them?” linda's gaze looked cute looking at Hani. He saw how possessively Faiq was protecting his wife. And he felt sadness as his gaze turned to Adi who was only helpless.

“You should trust Hani.” Sela Marisa fast. “We will support any decision Hani. You are their eyes, while Tama is their biological father. It's appropriate that we make up for each other.”

Faiq confirmed the words Marisa, “I and Hani will arrange a time for aunt Linda and bang Tama if you want to visit them.”

Finally Faiq recalled his childhood call to Adi. They will restart the friendship that had been cut off. He did not want this dispute to drag on, the two families were still bound together because there were little angels among them.

Hani was calm with the support given by her husband and in-laws. He tightly grasps Linda's hand, “May aunty quickly recover, so that the children are happy to be able to play with her eyes.” A sincere smile on the face of ayu Hani makes Linda's regret multiply.

Linda's tears fell unscathed. The shadow of his arrogant behavior towards Hani and the twins when he was a baby again flashed in his eyes. She never minded the difficulties experienced by Hani who had to take care of her husband and the twins who were active.

He always looks for Hani's mistakes every day. And he felt satisfied, if Hani's work was not right because he could not divide the time. Hani's increasingly frail little body makes her embarrassed to admit Hani is their daughter-in-law.

The moment the reunion with Helen at the office event made Linda feel the upper hand. Her dream daughter-in-law has come. And he blesses the relationship between the two without thinking about the feelings of Hani who has given him a pair of twin grandchildren.  With her arrogance Linda always boasts Helen in front of Hani.

The noise outside the room stopped Linda's daydream. Everything looks towards the door.

Adi walked quickly. He knew that Johan was in front of the room, because he had asked for it two hours ago.

“Mistress Helen forced her way in, sir.” Johan said with a worried look.

“Lin, we say yes. Hope you recover quickly.” Marisa quickly extended her hand to Linda. He did not want to be in the thorny trouble that seemed to surround Linda's family.

“Thank you for your visit.” Linda's eyes glazed over when it came to taking off Marisa and her family. Now he realized, only Marisa was the best friend he had when he was in a bad condition.

The three of them came out of Linda's room together. Faiq's hand did not let go of Hani's fingers that were in his grasp for a second. While outside the room, the trio noticed the tension between Helen and Adi.

Hani looked at Helen for a moment. He was surprised, Helen's always elegant appearance is now not visible at all. His face was dull and unkempt, the clothes he was wearing looked sober.

“Excuse me, miss Helen.. “ farewell to Hani politely.

Helen looked at Hani with a pus. He smiled wryly. Now he lost to Sofyan's favorite daughter-in-law. The woman was getting brighter, and her age was still young on her appeal. There was no more pride that he had, because the husband he was proud of did not look at him in the slightest.

Adi's gaze could not be separated from Hani until it disappeared from the sight of his eyes. Hani's aura was emanating so strongly. Adi gulps down a thoughtful sweet mass they once went through together, but now it ends in bitterness for her and Linda.

“What more do you want?” adi's voice sounded flat in Helen's ear.

“Mas, Gilang and I are no longer in a relationship. I just love you. Give me a chance..” Helen said softly.

Adi looked at Helen's face with annoyance mixed with disappointment, “You know Helen, I trust you so much. My feelings of love for you blinded the affection Hani gave me, until I divorced her and took my children off to live with you and the child you bear but never will have.”

Helen bowed sadly, sometimes she looked at Adi who stood looking at the distance. The man, though still her husband, was unable to touch. The deep abyss had become a distance that he could not cross to be with Adi.

“If I could go back in time. I wish I had never met you. Being with you became the greatest ruin of my life.”.

“I don't want to part with you, mas. I'm a kara here.” Helen is desperate for her life now.

“From now on I release you. I'll guarantee your living expenses. A house for your residence I have prepared.”

“You want to divorce me?” Helen was shocked to hear Adi's words.

“From now on don't ever see me again. Bernhart and Johan will take care of everything.”  Adi rushes to leave Helen limp in the waiting chair outside Linda's room.

While accompanying his mother who was still resting, Adi opened his briefcase to take out a camera that Johan had just repaired. He was curious about the last recording his late father had.

Without blinking Adi looked at the video pictured there. Her chest tightened watching the final conversation between her late father and Helen. Truth that he had not known all along. How he lived the lies of those around him.

Adi squeezed his chest, it hurts for sure. Grief and regret will be friends who will accompany him to the end of his life. The happiness he hoped for, turned out to be nothing but pure. The first love he retains becomes a boomerang that destroys his true happiness.
