Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
Chapter 26. Not Just a Stepson.
Sella froze in place when she heard the husband's words. No, he didn't want any of this to happen either. The day he finds out that if Evan has a wife, he also has a big fight with Sherly. He even slapped his daughter to realize that what he was doing was not right.
However, Sherly rests at his feet and begs for forgiveness. As a mother, she felt devastated and could not bear what her daughter did.
"What can I do when he's down and begging me, Mom. I warned him before, I did too"
"You should slap your daughter until she realizes she's wronged, or whip her until she thinks like a human, her head" Abbas cut off quickly. He also felt heartache and heartlessness, but the wrong name was still wrong.
Sella was silent again with a sob. He really did not want anything like this to happen, but he also could not do anything.
"Now go, and follow your daughter."
Deg.
Sella gasped when she heard the husband's words, she looked at the man in disbelief. "Mas kicked me out?" His lips twitched as he said it.
"No, I didn't throw you out. I just want you to come with your daughter and wake her up, if she can think well, come back here" Abbas said softly. He walked to the sofa and sat his body there.
Sella was stunned to hear her husband's words. How could the man tell her to go along with Sherly? Isn't what Abbas did the same as expelling him?
"What, are you so mad at me, Mom?" ask with lirih.
Abbas glanced at Sella at a glance, then leaned his body against the back of the sofa. "You're partly responsible for what happened to your daughter, Sella. So take responsibility for everything."
Sella clenched her hands tightly. "In charge? What do I have to account for, Mom? I didn't do anything, and you should understand how a mother feels. I'm also angry about what Sherly did, but as her birth mother I can't bear to rebuke her like that."
"So you think I'm the one whose stepfather would have rebuked her?" ask Abbas sharply. His jaw again hardened with a huge disappointed groan.
"I, I don't mean .. ya-important feeling is different, Mas. I'm his real mother, while Mas is only a stepfather" Sella said unconsciously because she was now starting to get angry.
"You're talking about a biological child and a stepchild as it turns out."
Deg.
Sella gasps. No, she had to stop this immediately before her husband grew even more wrathful. "Sorry, I don't-"
"Did you think my love was only a stepfather?" abbas snapped as he stood up from his seat, his feelings were deeply broken at this moment.
Sella was silent again. He no longer wanted to let out his voice which would only make his relationship even more ruined.
Abbas gritted his teeth holding back an outpouring of anger. It could be that the woman was discussing a biological child and a step-daughter when she was truly sincere about loving Sherly like her own child.
"I also love Sherly very much, I'm sad and devastated to see my daughter do something like this. But as a parent, I have an obligation to straighten out what went wrong, which is what I have to do. Loving children does not mean justifying everything they do, but bringing and guiding them on the right path" Abbas said with great emphasis on slapping Sella.
"I'm sorry if you were offended when I scolded your son, but I did all that not because he was my stepson, but because of my love for him. If Nindi had done such a thing, I would have beaten her until her life was at the end of the horn. I will not forgive him until he kneels at the foot of the woman whose life he has destroyed" Abbas said softly.
"Now go, I don't want to see your face."
Deg.
Abbas walked out of the room leaving Sella sitting on the floor. He felt regret for not being able to control his emotions.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, huhuhu." Sella cried sobbing, that it made anyone who heard her feel bitter.
Nindi and Keanu who had been standing behind the wall of the room had been in pain with the commotion, especially Nindi who was staring pity at her papa.
At the same time, elsewhere Evan is seen pacing back and forth in the living room of his home and Sherly's. He feels confused whether to go home or not tonight.
The clock has shown at 11 pm, if he does not go home then the relationship and Ayun will definitely heat up. Especially if his parents find out, then he will be increasingly cornered.
However, he also could not leave Sherly in this state. The woman must still be very sad and devastated, that's why she should always be by Sherly's side and hug her tightly.
Eventually Evan chooses to accompany Sherly, believing that Ayun must be asleep, and she will return at dawn.
Meanwhile, in another place, Ayun was still awake from her sleep. Since she was in Adel's room because her daughter had a high fever, she felt very worried and could not leave her alone.
"Mother, Mother," muttered Adel making Ayun directly rub the top of his head.
"Yes, Son. This is mom, mom is here" Ayun said softly. He again checked the temperature of the princess, but the heat still did not go down as well.
Ayun has given a heat-lowering drug, has also compressed Adel's head. However, her daughter's body temperature did not drop as well.
"Mom, I'm scared. I'm scared, Dad."
Swing back to hear Adel's murmur made him immediately rub his hands. "It's mom, son. I'm here, I'll always be with you." He looked at his daughter with sadness.
"Is Adel sick, Mom?"
Swing looked back and smiled broadly at Ezra's arrival. "You're home, son." He hugged Ezra's body tightly.
