The Destiny of the Mute Girl
Episode 36 ~ Meet

...☘️☘️☘️...

"Dhana..."

Gibran rolled his eyes, turning to the wife who called the name while pointing to the figure before him at this time. His forehead shriveled, wondering why the wife could recognize the interlocutor, but the wife just came after a few minutes in the cafeteria.

"Honey.. Do you know Mr Dhana?" ask Gibran who is quite curious.

Dhana was stunned, for some reason she felt something that she should not have felt, a feeling that had existed for a long time, occupying her empty heart, enthroned to ever make him feel how beautiful it is to fall in love as a teenager. In contrast to Kinan who was just silent, trying to erode the awkwardness created between them.

"He. he. he. he. my former college friend, Mas." replied Kinan who smiled clumsyly as he turned his eyes away from Dhana.

"I-yes, Sir. This is my college friend!!!" timpal Dhana trying to melt the atmosphere.

"It turns out the world is narrow. Old friends can be reunited like this. Oh yes Mr. Dhana introduce, I am Gibran and this is Kinan, my wife and the principal of Damar and Wulan. This is Mr. Dhana, his father Damar and Wulan." replied Gibran who shook Dhana's hand while reaching for the wife's slender waist.

Dhana smiled thinly, slightly lowered as if receiving the introduction, brushing away a speck of flavor without cause. While Kinan joined in returning a smile, it was visible on his face that was trying hard to control the turmoil of the heart, not expecting that Dhana whom he had contacted earlier, was, dhana was once present in his life in the past.

Drrr...

The vibration of the phone makes Dhana and Kinan flinch, removing the shadow of the self that dances in the mind. Gibran, smiling at Kinan, receives a seemingly crucial call from a colleague, leaving Dhana and Kinan in an increasingly awkward mood. While Wulan and Rainar chose to sit back down, not paying attention to the two, but looking at the Zivana gelagat who kept glaring at them.

"How are you doing Kinan? It's been a long time since we've met" Dhana said with a faint smile.

"I'm good, Dhana. I never thought I would see you again either." replied Kinan who smiled clumsily.

"So Mr Gibran is it?" dhana said as she slipped her hand into her pants pocket.

"No, Dhana. Mas Gibran was not the person I had said at the time. After that day, my relationship with him ended. Turns out he betrayed me and accused me of betraying him. I wanted to apologize to you, but I never saw you again after our lecture was done together. Sorry. sorry if at that time I had hurt your heart, Dhana." said Kinan who looked teary.

Dhana just smiled bitterly, the pieces of past memories seemed to spin back, making him remember the events in the past that had destroyed his heart to a dim formless crumble, it leaves deep wounds that are hard to heal.

"Darling.. Let's go home! Suddenly I had an important need with my colleague" Gibran said after receiving a call.

"But Damar's condition how is Mas?" ask Kinan while glancing at Dhana.

"The room is fine. Now there's Mr. Dhana who will take care of Damar. So you don't have to bother anymore" Gibran said, urging Kinan.

"Yes, Ms. Kinan. You better go home. Thank you for taking my son to the hospital and looking after my daughter until I came." said Dhana, throwing a forced smile.

Kinan was stunned, now that Dhana's call on his name had changed, unlike the previous one. The pain in the heart somehow came suddenly, knowing that a figure who had been present in the past already had two children and even twins who further clarify the status of Dhana, who has been present in the past, dhana already has a wife.

"Come, Mother!!! Zivana is tired here!!! We better go home. Zivana should start studying for the exam the day after tomorrow." said the princess who co-urgitated Kinan.

Kinan let out a heavy sigh, looking at Dhana who turned her gaze to Wulan in order to keep her eyes and heart that were constantly turbulent. While Wulan, seeing the gurgle of the papi who was very different from usual, was nervous and clumsy when his eyes flashed with the eyes of the headmaster.

"Alright, we go home now" said Kinan who eventually relented and collapsed.

"Pak Dhana. All Damar's affairs in the hospital have been taken care of by my wife, as a form of school responsibility. I hope Mr. Dhana doesn't mind." said Gibran, who smiled at Dhana.

"Thank you, Mr. Gibran, Mrs Kinan. I don't mind if it has become an obligation on the part of the school." said Dhana who slightly bowed his head.

"Then we'll excuse you" Gibran said.

Dhana nodded, smiled, letting go of the romantic couple, creating a pain that he was unable to describe at the moment. I don't know what the taste is but it's very difficult to just throw it away. But that sense has no right to exist, no right to dwell as before because everything is no longer the same.

While Kinan, once in a while he dribbled his eyes back, looked at Dhana who was turning his back on his departure, leaving Kinan unfocused forward as he walked.

Bruk!

Eyes that did not focus forward made Kinan hit the body of a woman, making Gibran carelessly look at the woman.

"Sorry, Ma'am. I was not intentionally. I was in a hurry. Sorry again, Mother."

While the woman rushed away, not to dodge but indeed because of the rush after getting bad news.

"Basar don't know how to walk! As big as this is the entrance to the hospital, he still hit my wife!!!" murmur Gibran.

"Already, Mas. I was less careful in walking. I was careless and did not look ahead." said Kinan who was calming the husband.

Gibran snorted in annoyance, his eyes still fixed on the woman who hit Kinan as she walked in towards the hospital.

That woman...why does it seem that I am so familiar with her face? She was like. ah there was no way that woman was in this city. Maybe it's just my feelings. Gibran murmured in his heart.

But for a moment the look on Gibran's face changed, as his eyes narrowed, trying to see the figure of the woman who hit the wife without cause. While Kinan who saw Gibran daydream, clucked in annoyance while waving his hand in front of the husband's face.

"Mas... Why do you daydream? You still upset with that woman? He's apologizing so we don't have to worry, Mas. Poor thing!!! Who knows, he is in a hurry. Go, Mas! Even daydream at the door." said Kinan who sauntered away first, clasping Zivana's hand.

Gibran flinched, controlling the mind that had been thinking strange things. I don't know what he was thinking, but Gibran quickly moved from his position, following the wife who had walked first with the princess.

***

"Don't be sad anymore, honey. Your twins are fine now."

"Rainar... What really happened, son? Why would Damar get into an accident like this?" dhana asked who was staring fixedly at Rainar.

"There's someone who wants to harm Damar, Om. It looks like he is vengeful because Damar managed to pass the selection of the chairman of the osis, while he did not." said Rainar who explained everything to Dhana.

"What's? So Damar passed that selection? Does that mean Damar was one of the candidates chosen?" asked Dhana who was surprised.

"Yes, Om. Rainar and Wulan suspect one of Damar's arch-enemies." Rainar said as he glanced at Wulan who broke his arms from the papi.

Dhana is stunned, never knowing that the son has an enemy figure in his life, making Dhana look at the princess. Wulan nodded faintly, she felt bad because all this time either Damar or himself never said this to the papi.

"Enemies? Since when does Damar have enemies?" tanya Dhana who looked shocked.

Rainar let out a long sigh, trying to stabilize his breathing before starting the story that Damar was supposed to tell. But given Damar's current condition, coupled with a sense of indignation in the heart of Rainar who enveloped him since the beginning of the meeting, faced with rival Damar.

A moment Rainar dribbled his eyes, looking at Wulan who was nodding softly, giving permission to tell him everything Damar had told him. Rainar sighed again, nodded slowly, received permission and told her about it.

Dhana sighed harshly, rubbing her face rough which looked in shock after hearing Rainar's story. Did not expect that all this time the son had enemies, and did not expect that the princess had been the material of bullying in school.

"Who would dare bully Papi's son? Go, Honey!!! Say the same to Papi!!! Who would dare bully Papi's daughter?" tanya Dhana while cupping Wulan's face.

The little girl shook her head quickly, reluctant to tell the papi who was the culprit of her bullying. Not wanting the papi to be ignited by emotion, Wulan grabbed his little note, wrote something down.

'The man who bullied Adek is already deterred, Pi. So Papi doesn't have to worry anymore. Because the bullying no longer happened to Adek. All thanks to Mas Damar the same Rainar who is always beside Adek'

With teary eyes, Wulan gave a note of the strands of the sentence, saying, let the papi read it and hope that the papi does not expand the problem of bullying that has ended since Damar's patience runs out on that day.

Dhana nodded, stared fixedly at the not-so-long string of sentences and then turned to look at Wulan. His hands were raised slowly, touching the face. The face that always shines on his life, the face that had been hated by his wife, the face that had been getting bad treatment at school, and the face that never stopped spreading a smile.

"But I'm sorry, honey. Because Papi is never sensitive to your feelings." said Dhana while stroking Wulan's face.

Wulan shook his head quickly, clasped the hand of the papi and kissed him closely. As if to signal the papi if he is fine, as long as he is near the papi and also Damar.

A smile expands on Dhana and Rainar's face, which sees Wulan's behavior, creating a haru atmosphere at a time like this.

"Mas Dhana's..."

The soft voice spread the atmosphere of haru coming, replacing it with an increasingly tense atmosphere, making the bright face of Wulan, became frightened when he saw the arrival of the mother. Dhana turned his guard down, looking at the wife who looked very panicked after hearing the news he told.

"Mas... How is Damar? Why did my son get in an accident?" mala asked in succession, urging Dhana to answer immediately.

"The room is fine!!! His condition is stable. Where have you been? Why did it take so long to get here?" dhana answered coldly, asking the wife a question.

"I got stuck, Mas. That's why I'm late. But you haven't answered my question, Mom. Why did Damar get in an accident? What's making my son hurt?" ask the curious Mala.

Dhana remained unmoved, glancing at the princess who looked panicked and frightened. Wulan was afraid that the mother would scold her for the hit-and-run incident experienced by her twin. While Rainar, looked frowned in wonder when he saw Mala's behavior.

"Raina..."

At once Mala's eyes were on Rainar, the son of Doctor Ronald whom she knew well enough, wearing the same school uniform as Wulan, making her quite understanding and rushing closer to Rainar.

"Rainar.. You're Rainar Mas Ronald's son, aren't you? Do you remember Auntie?" mala was sitting next to Rainar.

"Yes, Aunt. I'm Rainar and I still remember Auntie" replied Rainar who didn't know Mala hated Wulan.

"Then you tell Auntie yes, son. Why did Damar get in an accident?" mala said as she grabbed Rainar's shoulders.

"When we were waiting for a taxi in front of the gate, suddenly there was a motorbike that wanted to graze Wulan, Auntie. Damar who saw it immediately pulled Wulan, but even Damar who was hit by a drag." replied Rainar who was still honest.

Dhana and Wulan were flabbergasted, Rainar's very righteous words created a spark of Mala's anger. Dhana feels guilty because Rainar does not know how Wulan's relationship with Mala so far, and he has not warned Rainar not to tell Mala all this. But the rice has become porridge, Rainar's speech can not be withdrawn.

Mala's face flushed red, staring intently at the princess sitting beside Rainar. Dhana rushes up, grabbing Wulan's body from her emotional mother's vicious rampage.

"The moon is not wrong. This was purely an accident caused by the arch-enemy Damar. So you don't blame Wulan!" serkas Dhana while protecting his daughter who is hiding behind.

Mala shook her head, not heeding the words of Dhana who was trying to dampen her growing emotions, her eyes sharply looked at the frightened Wulan. Her hands clenched firmly, climbed out of the chair and forced the hand of the princess who was hiding behind the body of the husband.

"You should be punished by a fucking kid!"
