Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 73 (He's Also My Daughter)

Along the way there were no talks between Lia and Hadi, both of them were silent. Lia occasionally glanced at the face of her husband who did not speak a word. Obviously, at this time, Hadi was confused and angry because Lia was pregnant with another boy.

About 5 hours drive they pass by bus between cities. Right now they were already standing in front of the house hand in hand, as if nothing had happened. Hadi tried wisely to respond to what happened to Lia.

No one wants something like this to happen to their home.

After cleaning up, Lia went to the kitchen to prepare food. His stomach was rumbling and his body had started to limp because he had not eaten anything.

Simple food is ready on the table. Lia intends to invite Hadi to eat with her. Lia walked slowly because she was a little hesitant. Lia was very afraid of what Hadi's decision would be. But this child is innocent (Lia stroking her queen's belly).

Seen Hadi who sat pensively in front of the living room. Her blank eyes made Lia feel guilty about her actions. Lia ventured to step closer to Hadi who was sitting behind her.

“Mas, let's eat. I'm done cooking.” Hadi saw Lia's sincerity from her eyes. It was not hearty to refuse his invitation.

Hadi walked with Lia's hand. There was a smile on Lia's tense face earlier. Hadi smiled to see the beautiful smile that disappeared from his sight this daily one.

Hadi was seen enjoying the food that Lia cooked. Hadi has not eaten Lia's cooking for a long time. Looking at the face of Hadi who pretended to be fine made Lia's heart full. There were no tears in the river unstoppable.

Lia couldn't hold back any longer to not hold her heart. She fell under Hadi's feet. Lia cried so hard expressing all her feelings.

“Please do not punish me with your kindness mas. I can't accept Mas's kindness after what I did.” Hadi touched Lia's cheek, wiping away the hardened tears.

Hadi was touched, it turned out that she was the only one Lia thought of. He didn't even think about his own feelings for what happened to him.

“I will not change. You are still the wife I love.” Hadi hugged Lia tightly.

“But what about this kid? I don't want to let him accept punishment for my actions.” She suffered so much in the depths of her heart.

“We will raise him together. Let us bury this story into happiness. He is our son, God presented him even in the wrong way. But this is already the destiny we have to live with.” Hadi stroked Lia's stomach.

Lia was increasingly unable to hold back her cries. Lia tightly hugged Hadi's body as an expression of her immense sense of imaksihnya.

All this time Hadi treated her with affection. Regardless of her attitude to children and always want to win alone when with her husband. Hadi always accepts whatever Lia lacks.

“I apologize for all my mistakes. I'm so sorry this all had to happen.” Hadi lifted Lia's body onto the chair. Positioning his body kneel in front of Lia.

“You know, I'm very angry because there are men who desecrate you. But all this is the destiny we have to accept. The child in your womb will never be someone else's child. He's our son, don't let anyone take him out of our hands. You understand!.” Lia simply nodded in agreement with her husband's words.

The story of the past is finished. Now we go back to the happy times of Malik and Ayu who are being newlyweds yes friends.

This morning the Father and Mother were preparing to return to their hometown among the Rama Saputra family drivers named Gunawan.

Ayu was still at home in the arms of her mother. His brain was thinking hard what would happen when his parents were no longer here.

Ayu imagined the face of her Father-in-law. He comes to Ayu carrying a suitcase containing hundreds of millions of dollars and drags her out of the house. Ayu shuddered at imagining it. Mother was a little disturbed because Ayu's head could not be silent.

“What are you thinking about? Your head cannot be silent from earlier.” Lia was pinning Ayu's head with her middle finger.

“Mother, you don't love me anymore?” Ayu touched her slightly throbbing head.

“You should just say it. You are the daughter of my mother and father.” Lia reembraced her daughter's body.

They spent the remaining few minutes hugging like lovers. Occasionally a kiss landed on Ayu's forehead gently.

“Come Mom, everything is ready.” Ayu looked up, Ayu ran into the arms of the Father who had just finished tidying up the items he would bring home.

Rama Saputra and his wife brought so many wedding gifts for the entire Hadi family in their hometown.

Hadi was so happy to receive such an abundant gift. But Mamih forced by all means so that the gifts that have been prepared can be received well.

Mamih was very happy because both of Ayu's parents opened up a very smooth path for her son's romance. Plus Mamih also fell in love when he saw Ayu who was so soft and kind. Not only does Malik want Ayu to be his companion, Mamih is equally in love with Ayuna.

“Pak, do not forget Ayu well. I will still often give you the same news Mr.” Ayu still hugged the hand of the Father affectionately.

Mom and Dad were in the back seat of the passenger. The taste of haru accompanied their departure. Gun sir has started to run the car slowly. Ayu and Mom waved each other's hands. He only offered a warm smile as a farewell greeting to his beloved daughter.

Ciii....

The sound of tire friction because Mr. Gunawan suddenly. Ferdinan stopped the car that Lia and Hadi were riding in. They were very surprised because Ferdinan appeared while Ayu was still on the porch of the house.

Malik prevents Ayu who spontaneously wants to run towards her parents' car. Ayu was a little confused by Malik's attitude.

“Why? Same mother Father may still want to hug me.” Ayu puts her funny face in front of Malik. Malik carried Ayu's body into the house without cue, making Ayu unable to fight.

“Just be quiet in the room. There is an important thing that I want to convey to Mom and Bapak” Malik immediately ran leaving a big question mark in Ayu's mind.

Ayu notices Father, Mother, Sister Malik and her two in-laws talking to a man Ayu knows as her principal.

Ayu runs towards the door trying to open the door, but it turns out that the door is locked from the outside by Kak Malik. Adding suspicion in Ayuna's mind. It seems like they are all hiding something. Thought Ayu.

Ayu ran back to her balcony room.

“Otherwise you want Sir? I tried to be honest with everything that happened. I'm asking you not to bother my daughter again.” Lia pleaded with Ferdinan.

“I have always felt alive in the depths of Lia's sin. I'm devastated, I can't do anything before you all forgive me.” Ferdinan kneeled back as before.

Ayu was very shocked to see the headmaster kneeling in front of her parents. Ayu tried to call Father and Mother from the Balcony, but her voice was not heard by them.

Ayu is only getting curious about their relationship. Why did the principal get to know my parents. Why they never told me anything.

“We have forgiven all your deeds Sir. Please don't let my daughter know who she is. He could have been destroyed as you feel now.” Hadi tries to keep Ayu as his daughter.

“At least give me a chance to look after and care for my daughter Mr.” Ferdinan tightly gripped Hadi's hand.

“No I will let anyone hurt Ayuna. He's my responsibility now.”Malik is furious that Ayu will definitely be destroyed.

“Please Malik. You are like my own son. Help me to meet my daughter.”

“Not now, wait until Ayu is ready to accept this situation. I won't let anyone hurt Ayu.”'s feelings

“What is this really? What are you guys talking about?” Rama was watching the telenovela.

“Big Master, please help me. Please meet me with Ayu. She's my biological daughter Mr.” Rama looked on in disbelief at the situation of Ayu and Malik's parents.

During this time Rama had never heard anything about Ayu who was not the biological child of Hadi. Malik hasn't even said anything about Ayuna.

“Alright, Father and Mother can continue your journey. Ferdinan let me take care of.” Rama seems to know a little about the direction of their conversation.

After Ayu's parents left, Rama invited Ferdinan to listen to the full story of his son-in-law who he did not know clearly. Rama invites Ferdinan to discuss with him, without Malik and without his wife.

“You're back in the room. Let Daddy talk to the principal four-eyes.” Rama closed his study.

Ferdinan sat agitated before Rama who was so calm. Rama presented a warm tea that had just been between one of his servants.

“Please tell me how my son-in-law could be your biological son Fer.”Rama sipped the tea slowly.

Ferdinan began to tell his dark story. Rama understands more and more why Ayu's parents do not tell the truth who is his daughter. They're protecting Ayuna, if Ferdinan recognizes who Ayu is. Surely Ayu's feelings will be greatly destroyed.

“But it seems like both of Ayu's parents do want to protect Ayu. You shouldn't have appeared before them and asked Ayu to acknowledge who you are.” Rama judges Ferdinan who is none other than his best friend. Rama was surprised to hear this story.

“But Sir. She's my daughter too. I'd love to hug her and make up for all my mistakes.” Ferdinan shed tears.

This time Rama had to rack his brain to keep Ayu out of Ferdinan's reach. Otherwise Ayu can anytime meet Ferdinan at school.
