Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
Chapter 22. Lies Will Definitely Reenact On Their Own.
Nindi nodded her head when she heard the words of the father, she then wiped her tears while looking at her papa with sadness.
"Well, you know, if I really love Sherly?" asked Nindi who was answered with a nod of the head of the papa. "I love him so much, I've taken him for more than just a brother. But I can't justify what he's done." His eyes returned to tears.
Abbas nodded his head again. Let alone Nindi, she herself would also never justify the actions of a woman who snatched away someone else's husband. What else did all this was his own son.
Abbas's heart was also wounded when he learned of all this truth. His chest felt hit by a big block when he found out if his son had damaged the family of others, especially during this time his son lied about Evan's identity. It seemed that from the beginning they had indeed intended to hide the truth.
"You don't have to think about any of this anymore, son. Let's let papa solve everything, hem?" Abbas rubbed the top of Nindi's head as he always did when her daughter was a child. Don't let this trouble interfere with his daughter's health.
"I know Evan's wife, Pa. And I couldn't bear to see it crumble like that." Remembering clearly in the mind of Nindi's sad face Ayun who harbored a lot of wounds and suffering, if she were in the position of the woman, she would definitely not be able to survive.
"Know or not, we should feel sorry for what happened, especially those who do it are our own families. But you don't keep going like this, son, think about your health. Hem?"
Nindi nodded her head while sighing harshly. After feeling better, the two of them then walked out of the room to wait for Sherly's arrival in the living room.
"Loh, you've been looking for you guys since. It's in the reading room?"
A woman in her 60s appeared to approach Nindi and Abbas, Sella, Sherly's mother.
"What's up, Ma? Has Sherly come?" nindi asked while commenting on a thin smile, trying to cover up her sadness.
Sella shook her head. "Maybe he's still on the road. Come on, let's go down!"
Nindi nodded her head to accept the mother's invitation. He looked at the middle-aged woman with sadness, the woman who had been taking care of him like a child herself. Then, how did he tell you about Sherly's actions? Saying what Sherly did, it would definitely scratch the heart of the mother.
"Honey, where are you from?" ask Nindi's husband who has been looking for the existence of his beloved wife while carrying Suci in his trunk.
"Your wife was alone with her papa in the reading room, Ken," Sella said to answer her daughter-in-law's question, causing Keanu to give a rough sigh.
Nindi just smiled when she saw the husband's sullen face, she then turned to hold the Holy and invited the 3-year-old girl to have a conversation. Sometimes he laughed when he heard the Holy lisp.
"Have you told papa, Nin?" keanu whispered making Nindi look at him.
"Already, Mas. Papa was very surprised when he found out," said Nindi with sadness. He really could not bear to make his papa grieve like that.
"It's appropriate papa tau," Keanu replied with a sharp look. He himself was upset that the matter of Sherly and Evan made his wife sad.
Not long after, came the person they had been waiting for. It was seen that Sella welcomed Sherly and Evan, while Nindi and the others just kept quiet while staring at the two humans intently.
Sherly smiled faintly in response to the welcome from her mother, Her body trembling as she met her eyes with the papa, whom she believed must have known everything.
"Nindi, take Suci into the room" Abbas said, making Sherly and Evan sit on the sofa undo their intentions, while Nindi nodded and left the place.
"Let me take the Saints." Keanu came up from that place and immediately carried Suci, he did not want his wife to feel tired from bringing the little girl. He then glanced at Evan in annoyance, and passed away from that place.
After Nindi and Keanu left, Abbas told Sherly and Evan to sit in front of him. The atmosphere felt very different than usual, making Sella feel astonished.
"Already, Ma," Sherly replied nervously. Fear and worry enveloped his heart at this moment, making his hands feel cold and sweaty.
"You know, don't you, the reason why Nindi told you to come here?" Abbas began to open his voice.
Glug.
Sherly and Evan nodded weakly. Being in front of an Abbas really makes them feel helpless. The discipline, authority, and firmness of the men made their bodies stiffen perfectly.
"What's up, Pa? Have they made a mistake?" sella asked inexplicably. She knew clearly that her husband was holding back his anger, but she did not know the cause of her anger.
"What is really on your mind, why are you doing such a shameful thing?"
Deg.
Sella's body seemed stung when she heard the husband's words, suddenly she looked at Sherly who was currently bowing her head.
"Not only is it embarrassing, but you're trampling on my pride as a parent. Until your hearts have lied to us for years" Abbas said sharply. There was clearly disappointment and anger in his voice.
Sherly has shed tears for not being able to see the anger of the father, while Evan tries to gather courage and looks at the father-in-law.
"Married a man who had a wife. Where exactly is your common sense, Sherly?"
Deg.
Sella gasped when she heard Abbas's words. His eyes widened, with a chest that was pounding.
Nindi and Kaenu returned to that place after putting Suci to sleep, they sat on the sofa that was beside Sella.
"Papa's answer while still asking." Abbas's remarks contained a threat, Sherly said, knowing about it.
"I'm sorry, Pa. We really didn't mean to"
Abbas raised his hand to stop Evan's words, making the man instantly silent.
"You don't deserve to talk before I tell you to, Evan. How dare you marry my son when you're still the husband of another woman? You think you can fool me forever?" Abbas clenched both his hands tightly.
"You really tarnish the good name of a man, a husband, a father and even a head of the household. Your body is lower than an animal."
