The Wasted Princess
CHAPTER 56. GATHERINGS

"How are Zi preparing? Can their attention be diverted?" ask Abimana to her assistant.

"As per Master's plan. Roy is preoccupied with their plans to approach Mr. Revan and his superiors, still with the same goal" Zian replied

"Hopefully Revan can outwit them so that my therapy schedule is not delayed after that we can go straight to 3R Group. But stay alert Zi, don't let your guard down. We don't know how much power Roy is out there" Abimana said softly but firmly.

"True sir, our people are infiltrating their group. Soon we'll know how much power they have and what they're planning next to bring down the company" Zian told Abimana.

"Good Zi, after that do not forgive them. They must feel the pain that we have been feeling Zi. 17 years... They have to make up for our pain for that long" Abimana said with a look full of hurt and resentment.

"A little more sir, hopefully there are no meaningful obstacles" Zian responded.

Abimana took a deep breath. To be honest, he has not calmed down yet. Still guessing. He could be back with his wife and son. What if Laras is already hurt and does not want to go back to him.

"Sorry sir, we're leaving in a moment. Your therapy schedule is slightly advanced. Do you mind?" ask Zian politely.

"All right, no problem. We'll drop by the office for a little while. How did Roy respond when you said to make a cooperation proposal with 3R GROUP about the development on land that I used to buy in the hometown of Laras?" ask Abimana.

"It seems that he does not feel suspicious, sir, because I said that the construction was not only for business purposes but also in memory of the Madam. So sir." replied Zian.

"Good so our departure to 3R GROUP does not need to hide for that reason" Abimana said with a smile. Even he had not thought about how later he would bring his wife and child. He forgot to think about this yesterday.

"You think, if Laras is willing to come with me, where should I take him Zi? I was afraid they would easily be the target of the damned woman." asked Abimana when he was on the way.

"Don't hunt - hunt sir. Maybe it's good if later we ask Mr. Tomo's opinion. Because the place where Madam and Miss are the safest at the moment is the residence of Mr. Tomo." said Zian who knew if in fact Abimana really wanted to immediately gather with his wife.

"Alright, you're right Zi. I have to hold back like that." Abimana.

Arriving at the hospital, Abiman eagerly followed the directions of the doctor and the people who helped him.

His desire to heal made him very excited about doing therapy. There is no fear of falling down many times. The nurse who helped the therapy process was not allowed to help him. Abimana knew that from the beginning the woman was watching, but Abimana did not care.

Sister Diah, she is a nurse requested by doctor Arif to accompany and prepare all her needs. Since the beginning of seeing Abimana, the widow of 2 children is indeed seen to admire the good looks of Abimana. Inwardly, he always hoped that Abimana would glance at him.

Diah knew from his appearance that Abimana was a rich man. At least if she could get close to Abimana let alone get married to her, she did not have to think about her son's usual college and school days.

He did not know why from the beginning Abimana had only come with his assistant. Wife where? He suspected things that might happen so that his wife did not accompany him. Maybe Abhimana was divorced or maybe his wife left Abimana because now he is disabled. From then on he tried to get Abimana's attention.

Seeing Abimana who had finished therapy, he immediately approached and took the initiative to wipe the sweat dripping on his face, but Abimana immediately brushed him off.

"I can be alone" Abimana said in a flat tone with no expression that immediately pulled the towel Diah was holding. I don't know why this woman reminded him of Diana. Not even Abimana knew him before, but his heart hated him.

"Ah, yes. Sorry Sir. I'll just get you a drink." said Diah

"No need ma'am, I've brought it" said Zian who came from behind.

Abimana grabbed him and downed the mineral water in the bottle slowly. Looks jakunnya up and down because of the drink that entered through his throat. The sight did not escape Diah's attention until she could not swallow her own saliva.

Zian who realized that just shook his head. Looks like he's got a new assignment to protect his Master from that nurse.

After completing the therapy Abimana accompanied Zian to the office and into his room. Soon, Roy Arkatama entered with a map, which is believed to be a proposal and draft that will be submitted for cooperation with 3R GROUP.

"This is the proposal that Mr. asked for, you can check it first. Are you sure you'll handle it yourself?" ask Roy. Roy was not interested in the project from the beginning. Too much waste of energy on something that is not necessarily a result.

" Yes, because this is a show project for my wife. I want to make sure myself, everything goes according to my dreams." replied Abimana.

"Alright Sir. Anything else I can help you with?" ask Roy.

"No, just continue with your work. Let me first learn about this proposal." said Abimana

"All I say to you sir, there was a meeting outside the office." said Roy later. At first glance he glanced at Zian cynically then exited Abimana's room after being invited.

"Zi, it feels sultry if you don't shower anymore. You're the one who checks me to take a shower first. This is an important meeting for me. Yes, I stink of sweat like running a marathon" said Abimana who then immediately pulled his wheelchair to the bathroom. Although Zian had offered to help, Abimana refused. From now on, he wanted to do his own personal things without any help.

Appointment at 3R GROUP is determined after lunch. At present Abimana does not even taste to eat even though many foods are served at the dining table of his favorite restaurant with his wife when he was still together. Even so, inevitably he still has to eat in order to have the energy to face whatever the situation later.

After completion they immediately headed to the place promised by the CEO of 3R GROUP to meet with his wife and child.

When he arrived at the loby, there was already Bimo who welcomed the arrival of Zaskia's father. Bimo immediately delivered to a special room for VIP guests instead of to the meeting room.

"Please enter Mr. Abi." said Bimo let in.

"Mr Tomo and the others are coming soon. Mr Zian said he wanted to see me?" bimo asked turned to Zian.

"Yes Mr. Bimo, Pk Abi wants to promote cooperation. I've brought the proposal." Zian said to Bimo's question.

"I'm here myself it's okay, Son Bimo, no need to worry about me" Abimana said.

"Alright sir, then I stay first. Let's get Mr Zian!"

They immediately went out to Bimo's room. Dilrong they've crossed paths with Mr. Tomo, Reyhan, Laras and Zaskia. Two different generations have been made over by Siera before coming here. The barrel age is still 39 almost 40 years, and now his face looks fresher than his age. They walked while embracing each other from the side.

Zian nodded respectfully at them. Lucky sakali Abimana got these two special women. After this it seems that he is about to enter the 2nd puberty, inner Zian while chuckling to himself in heart.

Chequek...

Abhimana's direction of view was immediately fixed on the open door.

Deg deg...

His heart suddenly beat irregularly, his chest was like a heavy object, it felt tight. When he saw the two women behind Tomo and Reyhan. Her tears came out without command. He had even forgotten to greet the owner of the place.

Papa Tomo came in and patted Abimana on the shoulder giving support. After being able to control himself, Abiman slowly moved his wheelchair closer to the two women he had longed for.

While Laras and Zaskia herself had even since about to open the door her eyes had already heated up, the corner of her eyes had already dewy. His heart was pumped many times faster. And when the door opened his tears immediately slid when he saw the man in the wheelchair. Zaskia and Laras hugged each other while crying. Is this real when Zaskia finally met the father she had always wanted to meet.

Laras himself was confused by his current status. Whether she was Abimana's wife or not. It's been a long time, 17 years is not a short time. Abiman could have taken care of the divorce papers. He rubbed his son's head giving him strength. The movement of his head gave Zaskia a code to get close to his father. Although she honestly missed Abimana herself but her current logic tells her not to embrace Abimana. At least he wouldn't be ashamed if Abimana rejected him.

Zaskia straightened her body. He slowly walked towards Abimana who was walking in a wheelchair towards him. Zaskia's cry grew as she crouched her body and hugged Abimana's legs in a sitting position. Even Abimana could not speak anymore. They embrace each other channel feelings of longing that they can only suppress because they do not know the existence of each.

Those who witnessed this meeting of father and son were moved and shed tears.

"Talk three, there must be a lot of things that you have to finish. Excuse me first, if you need anything, call us." said Papa Tomo, patting Abimana on the shoulder and stroking Zaskia's head. Then turned to look at Laras who had been standing at the door while crying as he pleased. Papa approached Laras saying, "All will be well. You deserve to be happy."

After seeing Laras nod, Papa Tomo came out followed Reyhan.

Abimana and Zaskia were still hugging while crying. His hand gently rubbed his daughter's head.

"I'm sorry, dear father. I've hurt Zaskia and mom a lot. Father has sinned against you. But please forgive me. Daddy loves you guys. If just saying sorry is not enough, then punish me. Whatever I will accept if you forgive me and return with me." Abimana said with tears still flowing.

Zaskia loosened her embrace, and ventured to look at her father.

"Mother said, even though father never met us, father was a good man. Mother said Kia should not hate father. Mother said, if Kia wants to meet father, Kia must pray a lot for a healthy father so that we can meet later. And now God has granted the prayers of Kia. Kia loves dad. Kia kangen same father. "said Zaskia still while sobbing.

Abhimana again held Zaskia in arms, although the state of Abhimana sitting in a wheelchair could not really embrace her daughter perfectly.

Abhimana did not expect at all, the person he had wasted was still willing to instill thoughts in his daughter like that. Abhimana felt more guilty, he had wasted a lot of time punishing himself. Had he not dissolved in guilt and been willing to rise early, perhaps he could have found his wife and daughter sooner. But maybe this is what is called destiny. No matter how hard we fight, we can't change it.

"So, is Kia willing to forgive me?" abimana asked after they calmed down a bit.

Zaskia quickly nodded, "There is nothing to forgive. Isn't all this not father's will either. You don't really hate us, do you?"

"Dear dear, but if it wasn't for my father's stupidity, none of this would have happened" Abimana said, wiping Zaskia's tears.

Abimana's view turned to Laras who had not moved from his place. Laras looks down, his body shakes, it is certain that since then he also did not stop crying.

Zaskia who saw the direction of her father's eyes immediately stood up. Zaskia understood, there is something that must be resolved by the two of them. Zaskia was looking for an excuse to get out and make time for the two of them to talk.

Zaski who had been squatting finally slowly stood up while trying to neutralize her feelings. He took a deep breath for a moment.

"Dad, Kia thirsty... Kia wants to find Papa Tomo first ask for a drink. I talked to my mother first yes. Kia will be back. I should be able to take your heart again. Daddy still loves you, doesn't he?" kia asked half-whispering, which Abimana embraced.

Zaskia walked towards the door, but while in front of Laras Zaskia hugged her tightly and kissed Laras cheek.

"Talk to Bun's father, Zaskia comes out first. Whatever you feel, don't be in the room. If you are angry, just get angry. But after that, you also have to get better with dad. Yes Bun?" said Zaskia expressed her desire as well as encouraging her mother.

Baras only smiled even though his tears had not stopped dripping, he nodded then rubbed his son's head. After Zaskia came out, the barrel ventured to look at Abimana. In his heart he kept chanting incantations in order to control his speech and body.

"Remember the barrel, you've been separated for a long time... Your status is still in question, do not expect more so as not to be disappointed later. You are different castes.." That's what Laras has in mind today.

TBC...

It's legal, bestie... They've met...
