The Shackles of Love are Lying
She's my wife

Meanwhile, Najib ....

During the trip, Najib's thoughts continued to be filled with Aina's shadow. Maybe now it's time, to open the veil of her marriage to Papa Arya. So that he could give Aina a clear status. I don't know what will happen. Be it Sheza or Papa Arya. He must be ready

"Man, we'll go to Surabaya for a while."

"Good, Den."

Najib wants to meet Arya's father who is currently in business in Surabaya.

Not how long they arrived at the hotel where Arya was staying.

"Grandfather ...." Iza immediately ran towards Arya.

"Gee Grandpa's granddaughter, just get bigger. It's not bad anymore, is it?"

"That's who's naughty. Bad mama, I'm mad at Iza."

"Sorry mother. Maybe Mama's tired."

"May, if there's a prize."

Arya laughed immediately. This time he had not prepared it. Najib suddenly wants to meet with him.

"Yes, grandpa will send."

"To Papa's house, Kek, don't go to mama's house."

"Lho is." Arya's face looked wrinkled, with Iza's words just now.

"There's a problem with Najib. Did Shesa do it again?"

"No Papa. He's fine now at home, never to go again."

"Thank God that's it. No problem with your marriage, right? If Sheza doesn't want to go to your apartment, yeah .. You're the one who gave up. It's not good that the husband and wife live apart."

"Najib wants what's best for Iza, Pa."

"No Najib. The best thing for Iza is that you're together."

"Najib is trying for that, Pa. But Najib can't see Sheza always ignoring Iza let alone hurting her. He needs affection and there's a time when Iza needs."

"That's your job. Educate him to understand."

"Yes, Pa."

"Then who took care of Iza if in your apartment who?At home, there is Minah."

"She, Papa."

"Yes Cake. In Papa's apartment, there is Mama Aina, who is a cook and also loves me," said Iza innocently.

Arya's head was instantly pulled upwards and her forehead was wrinkled. Staring closely at Iza, wanting to confirm with what he had just heard.

"Mrs Aina?"

"Yes, Cake. Mama just made Iza. She loves Iza. Deliver Iza to school, pick up too, love nemenin Iza sleep, love stories, teach making flowers, love making cakes. The cake is delicious Kali. Sometimes Grandpa goes to Papa's apartment so that later made the same cake as Mama Aina." Speak Iza with sparkling eyes.

Arya's face grew tense. He turned to look at Najib sharply.

"Can you explain, Who is he?"

Najib thought for a moment and kept quiet. Then she took a deep breath and said, "She's my wife, Papa."

"Wife?"

"Yes, Papa." Najib said as he nodded his head and lowered his head.

"We got married 8 months ago."

Arya looked at Najib sharply. His teeth rang out, his hands clasping firmly, trying to hold back the fury he was starting to feel at this moment. Even he did not remember that Izza was in his lap, feeling scared.

"Grandfather why?"

"Grandfather don't be angry dong ... Iza got scared," she said.

"Grandfather isn't mad at you, honey."

That answer did not make Izza calm down, instead he was more agitated because of Arya's increasingly sharp gaze to her Papa.

He also came down from his lap, heading to the lap of Najib who is still quietly bowed.

"Darling, you played with Mr. Parman first! Papa still has the same business as Grandpa" he said gently. Slowly he lowered Iza from his lap.

Fortunately Iza said. He went to Parman, who was sitting not far from them. Who then took him outside, to the park near the pool.

After Iza's death, Najib also tried to dare to look at Arya with compassion.

"I'm sorry, Papa" he said.

Plaque .... One hard slap landed perfectly on his face.

"That's nothing compared to the pain my daughter has suffered. He whom I have loved since childhood, so much that you have hurt him. Don't you think he's hurt by your decision. Where are your feelings?"

Najib lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of Arya who was now filled with anger.

Feelings! ... He could not deny that he was in love with Aina. That feeling that he could not explain to Arya or Sheza. Whether this is right or wrong, he doesn't care. Moreover, Iza can accept it well it has become a separate consideration to continue his relationship with Aina in a household.

So whatever Arya says or does to her right now, doesn't make her budge and risk her relationship with Aina.

Right now all that could be done was to shut up and listen to what Arya said.

"Then what do you mean by telling me this matter. Do you want to let Sheza go."

"No Najib's desire to release Dik Sheza."

"You're daring for it."

"Pardon Najib Papa, who has not been able to educate Dik Sheza so take Aina as a wife. Najib feels unable to educate Iza alone, Iza needs a mother figure, Papa."

"Reason! it's just your lust that can't love my daughter. Is this your reward after all this time I educated you, raised you."

"Najib always remembers it and will never forget Papa's service to Najib."

"I only ask one of you, don't hurt my daughter. Can you?"

Najib was silent. He just looked at Arya with a wave. Because it was impossible for her to let go of Aina.

"Why silence?"

Although Arya knows how Shesa's attitude towards her grandson and towards Najib and what happened before her daughter's wedding, but she really does not want her daughter to be hurt let alone cheated.

"Papa?"

"Don't say anymore. I don't like hearing your excuses. Go!"

Najib remained silent in his seat. She had no courage at all to say about her feelings for Aina. It was impossible for her to let go of Aina, even though Papa Arya asked for it.

"For what still remains here. Did you not hear my orders! You go to Papa just to say something hurtful. Go now!"

"I'm sorry, Papa."

Najib rose from his seat to Arya, still frozen with cold eyes on the man he had cared for as a teenager.

"Accoland ...." Najib tried to grab Arya's hand for a farewell. Never mind being greeted by that helping hand, even he brusquely brushed it off.

Twice he flicked his hand telling Najib to immediately disappear from his sight, unwilling to answer the greeting spoken by him.

With heavy steps Najib left Arya, approached his daughter and also Suparman, invite him back to continue the journey.

🌟

From a distance Arya stared sadly at the departure of Najib and also his grandson. One side he could not accept his daughter was hurt but on the other hand he realized that his grandson was expecting a mother figure in his development and it could not be fulfilled by Sheza.
