The Regrets of the Child and Husband
PAS 54

"Dad, how's mom?" asked Nana who was still sitting in front of Aliyah's room. He seemed to be impatient to know the state of the mother after crying for hours.

Amar took a seat beside Nana and leaned back. There was a rough sigh coming from Amar's lips. Nana could see that her father was really tired. Even Amar's work clothes have not changed.

"Mom is asleep" replied Amar.

"Well, is it true that the sorcerer was pregnant with the father's child?" asked Nana with a plain face. She had been wondering if Nafisa was pregnant with her father's child.

Amar immediately straightened his back, "no. I swear, it's not my son. The right to carry a father's child is only your mother and father's children are just the three of you, nothing else," said Amar did not want his child to think badly of him.

Nana squinted her eyes, "really? You're not lying to Nana anymore, are you?" ask Nana who is still in doubt.

"Astaghfirullahal adzim, really, Na. I still know the sins. Father is evil has made your mother hurt and disappointed, but father is also not that depraved to impregnate women who are not the wife of the father," the father quickly.

"If not, then why did the witch even ask me to take responsibility?" cecar Nana who is still not 100% sure%.

Amar spread his shoulders, "dad doesn't know either. It could be that the man does not want responsibility, so he wants to trap the father to want to marry him."

"Very well if it's really a father's son. Nana won't be sorry dad forever" Nana said, pursing her lips.

Amar smiled then pulled Nana by the neck and pinned her down with an arm. Then he clasped Nana's nose.

"Not really believe. I swear, it's really not dad's son. I'm sure, that's your son's job the other day. The man in the video is."

"Eh, really, Dad. Uh, that video is in dad's still, right? The one in Nana has been removed. Afraid that someone will keep watching. If people do not bother Nana's name is not a problem, then Nana who is accused of various problems. Especially if caught by the teacher, it can be serious," said Nana who had indeed deleted the video after sending it to her father.

He knows, it's an inappropriate video. He can't keep it because it's dangerous. Moreover, he was still a child, the danger of seeing something inappropriate like that. Enough he saw the moment and Nana didn't want to see him again.

Recalling the incident, Nana shuddered in disdain herself. How could two unmarried people do such a despicable thing. Although he is still a teenager, but he has learned about education se ks. This can only be done with married couples.

Amar nodded, "who is still in the father. It is good that what you have removed. It can be dangerous if others see it. Remember, this act is forbidden. Nana, don't do that, huh? Your future is long. Don't fall for something that could ruin your future." Amar tried to advise the child to stay away from the act.

Nana nodded, "get ready, Dad. But well, what if that witch keeps asking me to marry her?"

Amar rubbed Nana's head fondly, "you're calm, honey. I'll prove that you're innocent. Focus on learning. This business is dad's business."

"Ready, Dad."

While conversing with Nana, Amar sees Bi Lela coming out of Gaffi's room.

"Eh, Mr. Amar. Oh yes sir, Gaffi and Amri are already bathing aunts. Now play in the room."

"Oh yes, Bi. Thanks yeah. I forgot to shower Gaffi and Amri. And thank you for taking care of Aliyah during my work, bi."

"Ah, no need to hesitate, sir. That actor of mine had to be taught a lesson."

"But that was a really cool aunt. You know, the witch bibik siram used chili water. Very funny," said Nana chuckled considering how Nafisa was hot and pungent. He even hit the door and the wall because of his painful eyes.

"Seriously? Wow, what aunty."

"Auntie that. His abbess he's so mean. Ngata-ngatain mbak Aliyah is handicapped. This is it. How can aunt not be angry."

"Thank you, bi, Aliyah's been thinking about it."

"No problem, sir. Oh yeah, it's late in the afternoon, aunt came home first yes, sir, neng Nana."

"Auntie wants to go home now? Wait a minute, bi."

Amar immediately stood up and took the wallet in the back pocket of his pants. Then he took out two pieces of red money and gave them to bi Lela.

"It's money for aunt's fare."

"Eh, no, sir. This is mostly."

"No papa, bi. Accept aja. Make aunts buy food for aunts children, maybe."

"Yes, bi. Accept aja. Sensei," timpal Nana.

"Well, thank you very much, sir. Then, auntie, excuse me to go home first. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

"Al, dinner, yuk!" persuade Amar. Since the afternoon, Aliyah did not want to get out of bed. His eyes still look so swollen. His heart felt pain to see the state of the wife who must have been very disappointed with him.

Aliyah was silent. His feelings are still mixed. Though Amar had explained that he had never touched Nafisa, but the doubt was still ambushing. Given how Amar used to prioritize Nafisa over her made her doubt. Moreover, Amar often spent alone time with Nafisa, how he did not think badly of her.

"Al," call Amar again while touching Aliyah's shoulder.

But quickly Aliyah clasped the hand making Amar feel hurt.

"Don't touch me!" his jolt with a look of disdain on his face.

"Al, didn't I tell you I never touched it?" said Amar with a high tone.

Aliyah jerked. His eyes are back in the fog.

Amar woke up and felt more guilty.

"Al, honey, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean ... "

Seeing Aliyah getting sobbing, without a second thought, Amar immediately pulled her into his arms. Aliyah. But Amar just tightened his embrace.

"Deliver!" shout Aliyah.

"No. Until I don't want to let you go."

"Take me off. You're evil. You're ruthless. You're repulsive. You jerkkk boy. You're a prank." Aliyah continued to let out all sorts of curses and harsh words while lashing out at Amar's back who held her tightly.

"Yes, you're right, honey. I am evil, I am cruel. I'm a jerkkk. I'm a babajingan. Hit me. Maki me. I'm fine. I accept. But the one thing you know, I love you so much, Al. Loves you so much. I'm sorry I hurt you so deeply. Sorry, sorry, sorry ... "

Amar was crying. Aliyah could feel Amar's body shaking violently. All his life, Aliyah had only once seen Amar cry, which was when he regained consciousness after almost dying from giving birth to Nana.

This is the second time Amar has cried. Previously, when in a coma, Aliyah was often vaguely heard a cry like this. But he was not sure if it was a cry from Amar. But hearing that sobbing sound, making Aliyah aware, that faint crying sound was exactly the same.

"Is it possible that as long as I'm in a coma Mas Amar is always crying over me?" inner Aliyah wondered.

"Al, trust me. I beg. One thing you should know, long ago, is that you were the owner of both this body and this heart. Maybe I had been close to and prioritizing other women before, but I swear, I never loved her. Only you're. You're the only one I love. You're the only owner of this body. You're the only one I've ever touched to the deepest part. And you're the only one who ever touched me. Just you, just you," he said in a hoarse voice. Amar's voice was slightly choked because of the tightness in the chest was a cry that was as strong as being held, but could not.

Aliyah's tears are growing. Now he was more convinced, Amar was the one who almost every day cried when his eyes closed. Indeed, when in a coma, he can still hear sounds around. But because he was still in the subconscious, he did not know whose voice was talking or crying.

Aliyah often tried to find the origin of the sound, but she could not find it. It was like being trapped in a labyrinth that was so vast and silent. Therefore, he could hear voices. But he could not find the source. He ran to and fro almost in despair, but never found the source of the sound.

Until finally, when he heard the cry of someone who was so heartbreaking. The cry of someone who kept calling him mother, then he could find a way out of the labyrinth.

"Mas .." said Aliyah.

Amar was stifled, for a long time he had not heard this gentle call from his wife.

Amar then stretched his arms and stared at the wife in disbelief.

Then he rubbed the tears on Aliyah's cheek without breaking his eyes.

"Mas Amar" said Aliyah with trembling lips.

"ag ... "

Amar's tears are pouring out. He missed this call so much. He felt happy, finally he could again hear this sweet call from the lips of the wife.

"Aliyah, my dear, Mas misses you," said Amar who again grabbed Aliyah's body into his arms. If Aliyah usually kept quiet, then this time Aliyah would raise her hand and return Amar's embrace.

They shed their cries for each other. Crying full of longing, affection, and love.

Amar promised, he would never hurt Aliyah again. He won't waste this opportunity again. He will make Aliyah happy for the rest of her life.
