The Imperfect Story
Chapter 67

Along with the news of Wati's arrest, Devita who was silent at home was shocked when she was visited by several loan sharks.

They say that Wati borrowed five hundred million and today is the limit of the payment. It turned out that the money was used by her husband to gamble. Vita kept silent, which she knew her father had died a few years ago. One of the loan sharks showed a photograph, a male face very similar to the face of the Judge. He also believes that the Judge is actually the biological child of his mother, seen how close the two people were.

There is much she does not know about her own mother. Likewise with Author, there are still many unsolved puzzles, but the brain is very dead-end to add a new story. Hehe.

Vita flirted, she didn't have that much money. Finally, inevitably, Vita gave up the house to pay off the debt left by her mother.

Fortunately, Bella was sent far away to the opposite city to continue her education, so that Bella did not feel the suffering that was being experienced by her family.

Armed with the money he holds, Vita searches for a rented house. He was determined to find a job to support himself.

Meanwhile, Ishmael is currently sitting in a park. The park Zaskia visited when she was heartbroken. He also found a ring that Zaskia had thrown away.

"It turns out, this is how my love story ends. Maybe this is the karma that happened to me. Losing his treasure and wife at once." he said softly staring at the ring in his hand.

A footstep was heard approaching until it stopped in front of the man.

Ismail raised his head to look at the face of the woman who had been his wife for many years.

The man looked back in shame. "How do you know I'm here?" ask Ishmael then.

"You forgot what kind of person I am?" zaskia smiled.

"Yes, a few years of living together, I don't really know about you. I was just busy with my own business to forget that we are husband and wife." Ismail said smiling pedar.

"All has passed. It's time for me to hand this over" Zaskia said, giving her a map.

"What's this?" ask Ismail to take the map.

"That's what you've always asked for the last few days. Today I grant your request for the last time" Kia said. Ismail also opened the map, a divorce letter that was complete with the signatures of both parties.

The man laughed, laughing at his life which is currently very bad. Losing property, his wife even thought it could be that Zayn was reluctant to admit him as Father.

"All right, I'm gone." said Kia about to leave Ismail.

"Kia, wait." Ishmael held the woman's hand.

Kia looked at Ishmael's face. Waiting for what the man in front of him would say. Ishmael breathed, and Kia should have known the truth of his wickedness.

"Kia, I apologize as much as I have done to you. Not only the property that I took from you, but your right to be a mother I was damaged." Ismail began to sob.

"You mean how?" ask Kia who doesn't understand.

"I've given you medicine until you can't have children" Ismail said.

Plaque!

"I wanted to be kind, to compensate you for being Zayn's father. Do you deserve to be called a father? You're outrageous, Mail!" kia shouted with tears flowing.

"I know, I'm the worst man in the world. I'm sorry, Kia." Ishmael sat at Kia's feet.

"If the apology were useful, there would be no such thing as a trial." - Sarcas Kia.

"You may punish me, imprison me if necessary, so that I can make amends" Ismail asked.

"I'm not a bad guy like you. I'll set you free because of Zayn. I don't want Zayn to hate me for putting you in jail." Kia said tightly.

"I'm sorry for failing as a husband and father." Ishmael lowered his head on the grass, still under Kia's feet.

"That's it. I'm not a perfect person either, I've had a lot of mistakes in the past. Maybe this is God's recompense for the sins I've committed. God sent you to punish me." said Kia trying to open her heart.

"May Allah strengthen my mind." - Kia said again.

"I'm leaving." Kia put her foot up.

"I'm sorry again." Ismail continued to say sorry without being answered by Kia.

Before Kia completely turned away, the woman turned and said, "After this repent, do good to others. Remember, look for a lawful job." cried Kia. Ismail responded with a smile.

The man looked down, lamenting the divorce papers in his hands. She read it sheet by sheet of white paper. He was surprised, because Zaskia gave the house to him.

Before long, a small hand held his cheek. Who else if not Zayn, a baby who has now grown into a smart and kind child.

"Dad" said Zayn stroking his father's cheek.

Ishmael wept more and more, in the embrace of Zayn's body. His sobs sounded louder and louder. He also spread his eyes. It turns out that Kia had just entered her car, and she concluded that it was Kia who delivered Zayn to her.

"It's okay, Dad. There is still Zayn who will accompany Dad. Because Zayn is forever Dad's son." Zayn calmed Ismail down by patting him on the back.

Ishmael wept even more, he never thought after an incident like this, there was still an angelic hearted woman who really treated him well even though his sin was mounting.

Yes, she is Zaskia, the kind-hearted woman who covered her kindness with a scathing speech. A woman who has been with him for years. Women who are willing to raise children from other women with a sincere heart. Until the end of the story, he was willing to release the child he loved most just for the freedom of Zayn in choosing.

"Why didn't Zayn come with Mama Kia?" ishmael asked, wiping away his tears.

"Mama said, Zayn can choose to come with anyone. Just so, Zayn will stay with Mama Kia once a week." Zayn smiled.

"Then, why did Zayn choose father first?" ask Ishmael again.

"Because soon Mama Kia will be married to Om Rey."
