The Ugly Wife's
Kemal Regret

"Are you okay, meeting William and his family just now?"

"Of course I'm not okay, meet them. To be honest, if I could I'd really like to expose all the anger that is in my heart to them"

"Then why didn't you do it?" ask Zidan, while helping Ashifa get into the car.

"The color I think again, all this happened because of my fault. The couple who cheated on me may have been something that women should be able to predict, but I shouldn't have ignored my gynecological health, so he finally had to leave before he could be born"

"What is the reason for the thought that each partner might have an affair, which makes you unable to accept love from me?"

"Why did the conversation suddenly go that way?" ask Asyifa confused.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly felt curious about it"

"I can't accept you yet, because even though I plan to divorce William, my status is still his legal wife. There's no way I'm accepting another man's love while I'm still somebody's wife. Isn't that an act that's not commendable?"

"Then will you accept my love when you're officially divorced from William?" zidan asked, looking at Ashifa face expectantly.

"Not really"

"Why is that?"

"The color, even though I'm officially divorced from William, I'm not necessarily going to fall in love with you right away, Zidan"

"So, when do I have to wait to be loved by you?"

"Okay, I don't know either. If indeed you still stick to your stance to wait, then I will get used to thinking about you alone. But if you change your mind and don't want to wait anymore, then I can't do anything but accept your decision"

"Of course I'll stick to my stance to wait for you. So you also have to keep your promise to just keep thinking about me, got it?"

"Understand my esteemed Mr. Zidan. Already, start the car now! I need to get back to the hospital, otherwise my doctor can get angry"

"Ready princess"

Zidan drove his car back to the hospital. Along the way, the two people of the opposite sex, continued to chat cheerfully without stopping.

Asyifa's expression again became cheerful, after previously sad because it had to be remembered the pain of betrayal, and the sense of losing a baby forever.

When the two had reached the hospital and were now in Ashifa's hospital room, suddenly Kemal and a man dressed in police clothes, entered to meet with Ashifa.

"Dad? Why did you come with a cop, what happened?"

"I_ that, that's because the police sir wants to meet you, Ashifa" replied Kemal look nervous, because not sure to deliver the news if now Laras is being held in prison.

"Meet me? What is necessary sir, if I may know?"

"The purpose of my arrival was to meet with Ashifa's mother, and also to ask some questions related to the incident that befell her a few days ago"

Asyifa who heard the police's reply, looked a little confused. He quickly threw a questionable gaze at Zidan who was also Kemal, but the two people just kept quiet without saying a word.

"Which incident did you mean, Dad?" ask Asyifa pretending not to understand.

"The incident that made Asyifa's mother had to be hospitalized, as it is today. We from the police, ask for cooperation from Asyifa's mother, to want to tell all the acts of violence that has been and has been done by Laras' mother to you"

"Zidan's? Daddy's? What does all this mean? Don't tell me you've reported mom to the police?"

Zidan who got such a question from Asyifa, could only knead his forehead slowly. The man was still unable to get used to all the kindness from the woman he loved.

While Kemal, still in his original position, did not dare to say anything and preferred to bow his head to be able to avoid the gaze of Asyifa.

"Why shut up? Please answer my question, did you report my mother to the police?!" repeat Ashifa, looking angry.

"If so, why? Didn't he commit a crime against you? And also not just once, but many times, even starting from when you were a child. So it is appropriate that he was reported to the authorities"

"He you mentioned earlier, it's my mother Zidan! How can you report my own mother? And also why is he just a silent heretic, seeing your wife reported like that?"

Just now Zidan seemed to want to answer Asyifa's words, but the hand gesture from Kemal immediately authenticated the man's intentions. Kemal seems to want to be given the opportunity to be able to explain everything to Ashifa.

"Indeed, you should call Laras mother, and honor her as your parents, even though she is not the woman who gave you birth to this world. But Asyifa, she never once did her duty as a mother for you, instead she is the one who made your childhood up to now, suffer greatly. Do you feel hate towards him? No. gabe. You never hated him, instead you always tried to be devoted to him and also to the father as a child. So far I have always been patient to see you tortured, because I have high hopes that someday, your mother will be willing to change to accept you as her child. But after a long time of not seeing each other and the first thing he did, was to go back to torturing yourself, which is where I realized he could never change. So it's time we allowed him to make amends for all his wrongdoings against you, in accordance with the laws of our country"

Hearing Kemal's explanation at length, made Ashifa speechless. But the tears of the woman had fallen down her cheeks, as she recalled everything she had gone through with Laras. During that time, there were only cries of suffering, without even a single joyful laugh.

"But father, after all, she was Ashifa's mother. Asyifa can't do all this"

"Asyifa, please father. At least let me accept the punishment for once. This is not because we hate him, but because we want him to learn from his mistakes while in prison"

"But what if all this would only make you hate me more?"

"Mom may hate you even more, but when she realizes that what she has done to you all along is a big mistake, her hatred will surely just disappear, and guilt will be replaced. You also want mom to change in a better direction, don't you?"

"Of course, dad"

"Then, this is the time. All of this is just one of the stages of taking mom down the right path, so I beg for your help. You want to, right?"

"alright. I will try my best, to help my father" Ashifa replied reluctantly.

"It's good, my daughter. You made the right decision, thank you"

Kemal hugged his daughter's body tightly, with pride and affection. Seeing that, Zidan and the police who came with Kemal, smiled happily.

"I think you can ask Asyifa a question. Me and Mr. Kemal will wait outside, to be able to give room to the father"

"Thank you, Mr. Zidan"

And Ashifa was left behind by Zidan and his father, to be alone with the police. From outside the window glass, the two men could see clearly that now Ashifa looked very serious answering one by one questions from the authorities.

*****

After the departure of the police, Ashifa chose to rest her body by sleeping. He was tired of everything that happened today in his life. It was as if endless trouble, coming to harass him.

As As she fell asleep in the dream, Zidan slowly sat down on the chair next to the bed of Ashifa to see the sleeping face of the woman he loved.

"Your mother, who was always there when Asyifa was having difficulties, and always loved her for years, indirectly helped her"

"Mother? When did you come in, why didn't Zidan hear the door opening?" zidan asked surprised at Lilian's sudden presence.

"Mother had just entered, when you were seriously looking at Asyifa's face. Even so serious, you are not aware of the arrival of the mother!"

"Ah, so did yah. Forgive Zidan, mother" ucao Zidan while blushing in shame.

"No problem, honey. Mother has also experienced times like those you experience today, when you are young"

Hearing the noisy voices near her, made Asyifa slowly wake up from her sleep. With great difficulty, the woman resisted her drowsiness, in order to open her two eyes.

"Gosh, are you awake, son? What are the voices of your mother and Zidan that have awakened you?" lillian asked in surprise when she saw Asyifa open her eyes.

"Eh, there's mom. Asyifa had fallen asleep because there were no friends, why did the new mother now come?"

"I'm sorry, but you're abroad to take care of some things, when you get the news that you're in the hospital"

"Does Zidan also know that you're going abroad?"

"Of course, why, dear?" lillian was confused.

"Kok Asyifa didn't know that you went abroad? He said Asyifa is also the mother's child, why only Zidan was told to know the mother?"

"Don't tell me that you're now acting spoiled pretentious to my mother?"

"If so, why? When do you mind? Didn't you just say love to me, how the mother was stingy?"

"Cieee, who already said love is the same Asyifa. Cieee, there's been another guy who shot"

"Mother, don't be so dong. Asyifa is coming!"

"Hahaha, yes, you won't bother you anymore. Oh yes, mother bring you fruits, do not forget to eat well"

"Wihh, thank you dear mother"

"Either. If there are still other things that you need, do not hesitate to tell your mother well"

"Em, actually there is one thing that really wants Asyifa to do. But Asyifa was afraid to ask Zidan or the same father"

"What is that, baby?"

"Asyifa wanted to meet Asyifa's mother, who was now in prison. Can you help make it happen?"

"Can't!" zidan replied firmly.

"Why can't it?"

"Later color, your mother will poison your mind, so as to help herself to be free from punishment. That's why you can't see him, do you understand?"

"But kan___"

"Just like Ashifa, you can meet your mother, on one condition" Lilian suggested quickly, when she saw the two men were about to argue.

"What condition is mom?"

"The condition is, you can go see your mother, when you're done with all your divorce proceedings with William. Mother does not want your mind to be divided with other things, do you agree?"

"Alright mother" replied Asyifa resigned.

"good. Now, do you want to talk about the experience of divorce with mom? Who knows, who can help you in preparing for the next trial"

"Of course Asyifa wants to, and also feels very humorous because it has been helped by the mother"

"Well, at most you will gossip and not share experiences with each other" Zidan said in disbelief.

"Just kid!" asyifa and Lilian protested simultaneously, which made Zidan look at the two women with a surprised look.

"Gosh, how compact you guys are. It's like a real mother and son!"

"And indeed Asyifa is the mother's son as well. Why, you envy yeah?" lillian asked as she hugged Ashifa's body tightly.

Asyifa who got a hug from Lilian, immediately replied to her. Not noticeably, a drop of tears slowly fell down her two smooth white cheeks.

"Ashypha? You crying?" zidan asked in surprise at the sight.

"What's up, baby? What all of a sudden, you feel pain in your body?"

"Ashifa was just missing the figure of a mother. If only I had a mother like my mother, my life would not be as sad as it is now. Even my real mother's face alone, I don't know"

"Ashifa" call Lilian sad

"To be honest I've always been jealous of the people around me, being familiar and looking very happy with their parents. Because since I was small, although my relationship with my father can be fairly close, but also sometimes feels very far"

"But I'm sure that your father loves you very much. The proof is now that he's willing to let his wife go to jail, for the good of your future"

"I know that too, Zidan. But after the day that I found out that I was the child of a forbidden relationship, I felt very guilty for my mother, because I had been suffering. Would it all be better if I hadn't been born into this world?"

Hearing Asyifa's question, Lilian immediately shut her mouth with both hands in surprise. Zidan, immediately hugged the woman's body tightly, as if to take away the pain that Asyifa felt.

"Never speak and have such thoughts, Ashifa. Because I'm pretty sure that your father and mother, too, think of you as the most beautiful gift from God in their lives"

Asyifa, who heard the consolation from Zidan, became the sound of her crying. He felt guilty at once for the father and also for the mother who gave birth to him.

But without them all knowing, Kemal who had been standing in front of the door of the room of Ashifa, also heard and witnessed the incident. The man also shed tears for all the suffering experienced by the princess.

"I'm sorry, Asyifa. Forgive your father and mother who accidentally put you in a misguided position like this"

Seriate...
