The Destiny of the Mute Girl
Episode 24 ~ Forgot Time

...☘️☘️☘️...

"Papa Mama had another fight with Shahil?"

As if able to read the minds of his parents, Syahal's question successfully made Sadha and Vanny stunned instead of playing. Because they have not said anything but the son can guess correctly, if they did have a fight again with his twin sister.

Sadha and Vanny looked at each other in silence. While Syahal who felt that his feeling was right, sighed rough and then moved from the side of the mother.

"Dad...Where are you going, son?"

There was no response from Syahal. The man continued to walk towards the exit, making Sadha and Vanny move and chase after the son.

"Dad...wait!!!" sahut Sadha's.

Syahal who was carried away by emotion stopped his steps and turned to Sadha and Vanny.

"Where are you going Syahal?" asked Sadha as she grabbed the shoulder of her twin son.

"Syahal wants to follow Shahil to apartment Al, Pa. Right now he must be staying there with Al until he doesn't come home and makes you worry. Syahal wants to teach a lesson to an unruly child like Shahil! And after making everyone anxious, he just went home and had a fight with Papa and Mama!!! You kids don't know themselves!!!" cercah Syahal who has been ignited by emotions.

"You calm down, honey. No emotions!!!" said Vanny who rubbed Syahal's back.

"How did Syahal not emotion Ma? Shahil is absolutely outrageous! He doesn't think about our feelings worrying about him!!!" syahal answered that was still carried away by emotions.

"Take it easy, son. Actually your sister hasn't come home yet. We met Shahil at the hospital this afternoon." said Sadha who tried to calm the son.

Suddenly, Syahal immediately turned his head quickly towards the father when he heard the word hospital. While Sadha and Vanny who understood with surprise the son also tried to invite him into the house.

Sadha and Vanny take Syahal to sit on the living room couch, take a deep breath before telling him everything that happened when they were about to get home from the hospital this afternoon. While Syahal who was impatient just stared fixedly at the two, as if asking for a clear explanation without anyone being missed.

Rumbling emotions that had filled the hearts of the twin sons of Sadha this one, now flared again after hearing the explanation of the papa. He really looks angry and emotional hearing how rude Aifa'al and Shahil insulted Wulan right in front of Dhana, Bu Aini and Pak Aidi. Not much different from Aiziel who was emotional when he heard harsh words from the lips of his sister.

Brak!

The powerful pounding of Syahal's clenched hand created a loud punch, filling the silence of the living room ceiling, shocking the sleeping rooftop occupants of the afternoon. Even the heavy hand of Syahal could be heard until they left their house.

"They're really outrageous, Pa! Did they not think about Uncle Dhana's feelings when they heard those words? Syahal really did not expect that Shahil was getting bolder in front of Uncle Dhana, even in front of Opa and Oma. You brat!!!" cercah Syahal who clenched his hand firmly and then hit the table.

"Already, Son. No need for emotions like this. Because emotions will lead you into regret." replied Sadha leaning back.

"What does Papa mean?" ask the astonished Syahal.

Sadha sighed heavily while leaning against the back of the chair. This incident at noon, when his hands floated slapping Aifa'al's cheek made the guilt that enveloped him never go away. His hand still looked red, a scar and a witness to the slap. Other than feeling guilty, there was another reason that Sadha kept in her heart.

I'm sorry, Dek. Since the departure of Adek, Mas had promised not to play hands and be rude again to Mas Ammar and Dhana. But today, I broke it. Mas broke his promise and slapped Al, even in the presence of Mas Ammar and Kak Ibel. Adek must be disappointed at all Mas, even Mas has slapped Mas's own nephew. Sadha muttered in his heart.

Seeing Sadha speechless, Vanny understood the silent intent of her husband. As a wife and best friend, Vanny already knew a lot about Sadha, including that promise. The promise that Sadha made after Dhina's funeral was because she remembered her violent actions towards Dhana while in the hospital, shortly before Dhina was declared critical and died. Vanny also sighed and then turned to Syahal who had seen the papa since.

"Papa you slapped Al in front of your pakde and bude, dear." said Vanny who looked at the husband.

"As long as Pakde and Bude are not angry. I think Papa's actions are very true! Children who cannot be regulated must indeed be accelerated! Otherwise he will continue to fight, Ma." said Syahal who was not surprised at all.

"They're not angry, honey. Even your uncle thanked you for your papa because your father dared to slap Al and your father told you so that Al could wake up. But papa you feel guilty." said Vanny while shaking his head in surprise.

"The devil agrees with Pakde Ammar!!! Stop, Pa. No need to feel guilty. Al indeed deserves that, even Shahil also deserves Papa's slap!!!" syahal said that trying to convince Sadha.

"But Papa's actions have been too rude, son. Surely Al hates Papa at this time." said Sadha.

"Al won't be angry, Pa. Most just annoyed for a moment. Never mind, Papa don't think about it too much. Pakde Ammar alone is not angry with Papa so there is no need to worry anymore" said Syahal who assured the papa.

Sadha sighed harshly again while ruffling her face roughly. While Vanny and Syahal are looking at it trying to calm Sadha.

"Then now how is Pakde Ma?" ask Syahal who wants to know the condition of the pakde.

"Sir you're home and he's fine, honey. You better go up and go in the bathroom and take a shower and rest." replied Vanny as she stroked the husband's arm and looked at the son.

"But Ma..."

"Nothing but again, Syahal!!!" cut off Vanny while throwing a stare of emphasis.

Unable to resist and refuse the mother's request, making Syahal sigh resignedly and then move from his seat. While Vanny who saw the girly of the son only commented on the knotty smile.

***

The time-traveling machine continued on the right path, making the once very hot weather turn dark. The king of the day has now exchanged positions with the enthroned moon of the night adorning the vast expanse of the sky with thousands of stars as his friend.

Forgetting time, that title is very appropriate for Dhana who at home took her twins for a walk. After lunch at the cafe, he took Damar and Wulan for an afternoon walk until nightfall. Hungry again, they decided to have dinner outside and were on their way home after dinner together.

"Oma can be angry, Pi. Because we go home from school but don't go straight home" said Damar who sat in the front seat of the car.

"Oma the same Opa is staying at your pack's house, Damar. So they won't be angry. After all you go with Papi and oma you will not be able to get angry." said Dhana who occasionally turned towards the son.

"Indeed, what event did Oma same Opa stay at Pakde Ammar's house, Pi?" asked the curious Damar while glancing at Wulan.

Not long after, the car that Dhana drove into the yard of the house. Then they got out of the car and rushed into the house. Without them realizing it, the figure of the woman occupant of the house was standing while crossing both hands.

"Where have you been, Mom?"

The voice of the female figure of the occupants of the house is none other than Mala, successfully surprising Dhana, Damar and Wulan. Dhana also turned his head slowly, as if reluctant to see the wife who was standing and asked for an explanation from him. Then followed by Damar and Wulan who turned their heads, looking at the mother who looked angry.

"Walk!" dhana coldly replied.

"Walk around until you forget about time like this? You don't think about Damar's stomach. She must not have eaten all day." Mala said.

"I think more about the bowels of my two children!" dhana replied that it was getting cold and cuey.

"But I've cooked a lot for Damar and you, Mas." Mala said.

"You don't have to bother cooking just for me and Damar. If you don't prioritize my daughter into that intention of yours!" dhana without looking at his wife.

"Even you don't think about how tired Damar is after school." Mala said as she looked down at Damar.

"You think I can't take care of the kids? Even I think more and understand more about their feelings. Not like you!!!" dhana's tandas of emotion.

Mala snorted angrily while giving her husband a sharp look. While Dhana who did not want to get carried away with emotions further, turned to look towards Damar and Wulan.

"Damar.. You bring Wulan in!!!"

Damar also nodded obediently with the orders of the papi. Not for fear of seeing the mother who began to show her canines. But out of fear, if the mother would hurt her sister, scathing her with harsh and hurtful words.

While Wulan who was pulled by Damar's hand just stared resignedly at the papi. From the look of his eyes, Wulan looks afraid that the papi will fight again with the mother. But Dhana who understood with the intention of the gaze of the princess also gave a small nod and smiled knots, as if calming him that everything would be fine.

"Why are you still protecting the child who has caused your own brother to enter the hospital, Mas?"

Dhana was flabbergasted, not expecting the question from the lips of the wife. While Damar and Wulan who had just wanted to climb the stairs, suddenly stopped, silent and fixated on their current position. Wulan who is more sensitive to the intent of the mother also herded her eyes towards the papi. Likewise with Damar who since noon, had felt suspicious of the strange attitude of the papi.

"Damar.. quickly bring your sister upstairs!" dhana Exclamation accompanied by a gaze of obedience.

"Why Mas? You're afraid that the handicapped child you're so proud of is hearing all these words of mine?" timpal Mala turned his head and looked hard at the little princess whom he had not acknowledged.

"Enough Mala!!! Stop whatever you want to say now!!! If you want to be angry, be angry with me. Don't you make my daughter an outlet for your anger!!!" dhana said that negotiated with his wife.

"I didn't want to tell the disabled boy, Mas. But I want to tell my son that his father is in the hospital." Mala replied with a big smile without the slightest guilt to Dhana.

Dhana squinted, unable to see how shocked Damar and Wulan were to hear the news he had been trying to cover up. But the carcass that is hidden will also smell. Now Damar Wulan already know and they look surprised not to play.

"What Mi? Pakde in the hospital? Why?" without Damar approaching the mother.

"High blood your pack went up after seeing Ziel fighting with Al, because Ziel was defending the boy!!!" mala pointed at Wulan.

Escape the crystal round from the eye cracker Wulan who was still widened did not expect. The girl looked shocked to hear the words of the mother who was very painful. Wulan was sitting limp on the edge of the stairs, her eyes continued to flow down her cheeks, regretting the fate of self that always makes others difficult even to fight until entering the hospital. How depressing. Wulan who was crying then ran upstairs.

Damar who saw that rushed to follow the younger brother. While Dhana who is increasingly made emotional throughout the day by the wife, can no longer resist the disappointment.

"You really don't have a heart, Mala! It should be you who convinced Wulan that the fight between Ziel and Al was not for defending her! But you hurt her heart! I'm really confused by this attitude of yours. I'm tired, Mala!!! I am tired of facing your attitude like this!!! You don't deserve to be called a mother! You're the devil-hearted woman, Mala!"

"Continue, Mas! Just hold on to the handicapped child and the unlucky bearer! Ever since that damn kid was born, our relationship has been strained! Ziel and Al are fighting! Even Syahal and Shahil twins do not get along just because of the defective pesky child! How much more bad luck do you want?!" mala toilet.

Dhana's anger immediately peaked when he heard all the vile insults that were thrown from his wife's lips. Dhana's hands clenched firmly, her jaw hardened with a reddened and sharp look in her eyes. Slowly, the anger that peaked to the crown gave the order to his hand to lift and swing.

Sreeet...

In the end, Dhana who ignited emotions raised her hand and prepared to float and land on the face of the wife.

"Don't Mas!!!

Dhana gasped as she found a familiar soft voice in her ears. Although the voice had not been heard for a long time, it had even been many years but in Dhana's ears the voice was very familiar and sounded so soft. Meanwhile, Mala gasps when she sees Dhana's hand about to slap her.

"I'm disappointed in you, Mom!" serkas Mala who sounded raucous and sauntered away.

Dhana also woke up. The heightened emotions, making him almost khilaf slapped Mala brutally. Dhana who was awakened from the khilaf also circulated his gaze, looking for a soft voice that stopped his action. A moment later, Dhana was glued when her eyes were fixed on the shadow figure standing near the stairs and had long been invisible. The shadow seemed to review the smile, a moment later disappearing without a trace.

"A-deck.." said Dhana lirih.
