The Fading Love
finally home

POV author

"You're home now, baby?" Zidan nodded, he approached and kissed Karina long on the forehead. Actually the man had come home one day ago, but he decided to stay a day at Karina's house, only then he returned to the house in his place with Inayah and Aska.

"thank you baby, thank you for following me for two weeks, thank you for the happy time you gave me and Nesha" Zidan nodded, hugging Karina tightly, kissing her hair.

"you and Nesha are happy" Zidan said.

"now I believe, if you love me more than Inayah" there is no response from Zidan, do not agree nor deny, what is true that love has been lost all, how easily did Zidan get rid of the name of Inayah who for a dozen years lived in his heart, is it that the figure of Karina replaced Inayah.

Everything is just a matter of time, everything will be revealed by itself later. Whether Zidan chooses his first love, or his accidental love, Zidan must choose one, Zidan cannot put two names in his heart, there will be a broken heart when released, there will be a wounded heart when forced to accept the situation, better like that, in order to learn to be sincere, rather than continue to survive, he said, inside a painful love triangle.

"I leave first, you guys be careful at home" Karina nodded as she let go of her embrace.

Zidan hugged Karina's waist up to the doorstep, Karina waved at Zidan's car which began to move away from the grounds of his mansion, a house that was much more luxurious and large than the house that Inayah and Aska occupied. The house was given by Zidan, the same one he had, one year ago, Zidan gave it to Karina and Nesha, where the seed of love in his heart began to grow and develop for Karina.

Zidan did not go straight to the office, he went back to Inayah's house, he wanted to give small souvenirs that he brought secretly from Lombok. A beautiful necklace with real pearls from lombok as its pendant decoration. It must be very fitting if worn on Inayah's white and clean neck.

Zidan was only able to buy one small wooden-based toy for Aska, in fact he still remembers his wife's child, he still remembers with two people who always wait for his return.

Zidan's forehead shriveled as he entered the house in a quiet state, there was no noise from Aska, or Inayah's screams asking Aska not to run around after wearing school clothes, afraid of getting tangled again he said, even though they had not yet left.

"it's only seven o'clock, Aska goes to school at 8, where are they" Zidan still thinks about where they're going, it's impossible to go to school this early.

"Daddy says Aska is healthy and coming home, but where are they" Zidan reads every message that Inayah sends to him, except for Inayah's permission to return home for the next week. The message was deleted Karina before Zidan read it, cunning Zidan's wife this one.

Not finding anyone, Zidan decided to go to the office, maybe Inayah and Aska went somewhere, he thought.

.....

But unfortunately, until nightfall, the house still remains silent, the lights are not on, the house curtains are still open. There was no dinner on the table, no faithful Inayah waiting for him in the front room, or Aska whose head was poking out of the wall if the child had not slept.

"Dad" called Zidan in a raucous voice from exhaustion all day.

"Dad" his tone slightly raised.

"Dad" his tone back down but full of pressure.

Zidan knew Inayah had not yet returned, but he kept shouting as much as he could, Zidan searched the house, but he found no one there.

Zidan rubbed his face rough, Inayah's phone all day in contact can not, always the operator who answered with the same authorization, sorry the number you are going to can not be contacted, can not be contacted, or WhatsApp that says connect, it signifies Inayah number is not active.

"there's no way Inayah's gone, she's angry, Inayah can't leave me, no!" there was a fear that if he imagined it, Zidan did not want Inayah to leave his life, Zidan could not imagine what would happen to him if Inayah left.

Immediately Zidan contacted the mobile number of the school Aska. Not directly answered yes because this is outside of school hours. Zidan was upset that he did not know whose number he could call to find out where his wife and child were.

Zidan threw his body on the bed, in his massage the temple began to throb, dizzy to think about where his wife and child are now.

Whether encouragement from where, Zidan actually contacted his parents, maybe Inayah went there, because there was no family that Inayah had in Jakarta.

*"why son?" the voice of the Goddess from any.

"mah, Is Inayah Aska there?" zidan asked hurriedly, his gaze showing so much hope.

"nothing" answered the goddess

"do you know where he is?" ask Zidan again.

"how do you know" was heard whispering and breathing from Zidan.

"maybe in the hospital" Zidan frowned, puzzled as to why his mother could tell. Where the mother cares if Aska or Inayah dies they do not care at all.

"do you know where they're from in the hospital?" ask Zidan full of probes.

"they came home one week ago, you were, you had no news he said, when it was raining heavily, Inayah begs to be allowed in-" he said immediately in pieces, Zidan who was there stood up.

"you let them take shelter, right? mama let Zidan's wife and son in, right? say yes, mah!" urged Zidan expectantly, his sentence was emphasized.

"why, even to death, the mother will not be willing to house the mamah on the stampede of the cheap woman and her illegitimate child"

"mah!" snapped Zidan stopped the phrase Goddess.

"But with them, Aska is sick, they are rained, where the conscience is true!" Zidan's snappy is full of emotions.

"you dare to snap mamah just because he's that useless human, Zidan!" Goddess is no less tall.

"Zidan really did not expect mamah could be rich so to them, Zidan know mamah hate him, but at least look at them as someone who needs the help of mamah" said Zidan Lirih, like Dewi tired of arguing, Dewi said, he turned off calls unilaterally. Zidan groaned in frustration, his expensive phone thrown on the mattress. Zidan really did not understand why his parents really had the heart to treat his son and his wife like that.

"you where "Zidan hit the wall.
