Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
Chapter 23. The Heart of a Wounded Father.
Evan gasped when he heard the words of the in-laws, as well as Sherly who was sobbing bitterly at the anger of her father.
Abbas's face flushed red in disappointment as he looked at the couple currently in front of him. Husband and wife who had been lying to him, even they did not regret what had happened at all.
Nindi who saw the anger of the papa also shed tears. As long as he lived, this was the first time seeing such great disappointment on his papa's face.
"You, Evan." Abbas stared at the man sharply, forcing Evan to look at him as well. "Do you really have no mind, huh? Why did you marry my daughter while you still had a wife?" His voice echoed in that place with great emphasis.
Evan dared to look at the man. "Sorry, Papa. Me, I love Sherly."
Abbas's eyes lit up red with veins jutting to the surface upon hearing Evan's reply. He quickly put his feet up on the table and grabbed the collar of the man's shirt, leaving everyone gasping in shock.
"Father!" shouted Nindi, Sella, and Sherly simultaneously, while Keanu just kept quiet while paying attention to what was happening.
"How dare you say love for what you're doing!" abbas shouted while shaking Evan's body firmly.
"Papa, I beg you not to be like this." Nindi stared softly. The health of the father is not better than him, if the papa continues like this, it will be very dangerous.
"Don't call love what you're doing, because it's not love. But your bej*trap that you can't control." Abbas pulled Evan's body to stand up from the sofa and threw him violently.
Of course, everyone is gasping at what Abbas is doing. Although he was old, but the energy of a former general was still great.
Sherly runs towards Evan and hugs her husband's arm tightly, while Sella tries to calm him down.
"Get your hand off, Sherly. Today too, papa doesn't want to see you together with him!"
Deg.
Sherly looked at the papa with tears as she shook her head, while the others could only stare silently.
"Papa, please forgive us. We know we made a mistake, and we promise we won't do it again" Sherly said. His tears are pouring over because for the first time in decades of living together, papa said, expressing anger.
"You don't deserve to apologize to me, because it's not me you're hurting. But the woman who became the legal wife of your husband, Sherly!" abbas said with great emphasis.
The atmosphere seemed very tense at this moment, even the two maids in the house did not dare to come out of their rooms when they heard the anger of the great master.
"My husband, please calm yourself." Sella hugged her husband's arm tightly, trying to calm the increasingly heated situation.
Nindi was fixated on looking at her stepmom, she felt that there was something strange about the middle-aged woman's reaction when she found out about all this truth.
"Wait a minute, Pa. I want to talk to Mama."
Abbas, who wanted to talk again, was forced to abandon his intentions when he heard Nindi's voice, while Sella was silent and stiff as she looked at the princess.
"Did Mama know the truth?"
Deg.
"Mom, mama already knew it," Sella replied with a bow of her head making the fire of Abbas' anger even more blazing.
"Good, very good. You mama and son are both insane!"
Deg.
Sella looked at her husband in disbelief. Decades into the household ark, she had never heard her husband speak harshly even in a state of anger.
"Now tell me, Sella. If I love another woman and marry her, how do you feel?" abbas asked sharply, and the question was piercing Sella's chest.
Sella was silent with her head down. She felt remorse for not telling her husband about the matter just because of Sherly's plea.
"Why are you silent? Answer my question!" force Abbas to grab Sella's arm, and to be honest he's already very angry with his wife.
"Sorry, Mas. I'm sorry." Sella could only bow with regret. Had he said all this to Abbas in the past, would this commotion not have occurred?
"Is it because he's not my real son, and then you're hiding all this from me, huh?"
Sella immediately raised her head and shook her head strongly. "No, Mas. It's not like that." He stared regretfully, he really did not mean that at all.
Abbas took off his hand and rubbed his face violently. It was unexpected that his own wife supported the immoral deeds of their daughter.
"I'll talk to you later, Sella. Now let me take care of your daughter first."
Glug.
Sella and Sherly gulp down their salives violently, while Abbas stares at Evan and Sherly sharply and hatefully.
"I've cared for and loved you like my own daughter, but I didn't expect you to humiliate me in this way" Abbas said slowly but with emphasis.
"You're a woman, too, Sherly. If your husband loves another woman and marries her, will you accept all of that with great joy?" The question that Abbas was asking was piercing Sherly's chest.
"Where is your conscience? Under the pretext of love, you can destroy the lives of others. Not only is the heart of a wife you broke, but also the heart of a child who is completely innocent is also affected by your immoral behavior."
Sherly's body trembled when she heard the father's words. No, he didn't want any of this either. However, it was the path of fate that prompted him to do something like this.
"Don't feel proud because you're loved by people's husbands, because it's not love. If she loves you, she will respect and respect you as a woman. He will cut off the relationship with his wife first, then make a new relationship with you. It's not love if it makes you a mistress."
