Want me to Be With You
Episode 21


"You are a narrow-minded man! You can step on Fauziah's pride just for your ex-wife's sake!!" Opa Dama looks angry.


"Opa, she's the mother of my son. How could I let my son grow up without me by his side" Aqmal defended himself. Phitra was his flesh and blood. That's what Aqmal knows.


"Hahahahaha" Opa Dama laughed. The laughter instantly became a cold gaze.


"A ...!!" call Opa Dama out loud.


David, who was resting on the second floor, woke up and ran to meet his Opa call. "Yes, Opa" he said.


"Give your phone to your brother. Tell him to listen to the conversation you recorded" Opa Dama said. With great pleasure, David opened the recording vault.


"Here" David handed his phone to Aqmal. In his heart he was worried. There's something he keeps in his cell phone's memory. What if everything was gone in an instant? Nah! That can't happen.


"Sister, don't slam ya" David reminded. Aqmal did not reply, but he took David's phone from the man's hand.


"Oh, can I stay here?" david asked pleading. He's worried about his phone. The reason, the contents of the recording will make Aqmal shaken.


"Yes" Opa Dama answered briefly.


David smiled and remained seated beside Aqmal. His gaze did not escape from his favorite phone.


Aqmal began to listen to the contents in the recording, the defensive fort began to collapse. He shed tears. Lisnawati Bakri, the woman who came back to bring happiness, in fact she is just a fraud. Using Fitra for his own sake. What is his heart made of? Why did he do that. Is that his true nature? Where is that polite, friendly and kind Lisna? Whereabouts?


"David, go back to the room" said Opa Dama. David said he returned to the second floor with a mouth that could not stand still. The man cursed in the heart.


Fikram's father, Sakila's Mother, Aunt Nova and her husband could only remain silent. No one dared to open their voices before Opa Dama invited them.


Should Aqmal be happy about that reality, or vice versa. He loved that boy. He was willing to leave the woman he loved and he was willing to be hated. Because what? He chose his son's future. A son who is not his real son. The son who was made a puppet by his mother.

Many customers came. Some come with recipes, some bring complaints. Some even come to ask. Like this time, a woman who was about 25 years old, came to ask about a natural remedy that can reduce fever.


"Ziah .." call Sister Diana.


Fauziah who was in the warehouse, he left his job only because of a call from Sister Diana. The beautiful girl ran over to her boss.


"Yes, sister" said Diana.


"Is there a natural remedy you know– to bring down a fever in a child?" ask Sister Diana. She should have been called Mother but Sister Diana felt she was young so she did not want to be called Mother. He said, Brother only.


"Nothing, Brother. But said Mother, when I was a child Mother always olesin coconut milk squeezed together with the leaves of distance. He said that it was very powerful, if the routine was smeared, at most two days my fever had gone down, even I began to actively play" explained Fauziah telling the Mother's elixir.
