Against Restu
MR Chapter 73: Are you going to kill me?

" Bri, it's in the room" said Daddy Samuel with a gutsy look into the room filled with medical devices.

Papa Ken, too, stared at the room. His pupils instantly widened when he saw a man with a limp body and full of life aids. The sound of the heart monitor sounding still sounds stable, infusion fluid also continues to drip into the body, indicating that the soul is still alive. However, his body was already unconscious.

" A__pa happened to, Bri?" asked Papa Ken in a stammering tone as he was still in shocked mode.

Daddy Samuel glanced at Papa Ken with a sad look, indicating that the man was actually in a bad state, but should still look strong. Such is the man who tries hard even though his heart is fragile. If you see Brian's condition like, make Papa Ken understand why the look on Daddy Samuel's face always changes when talking about Brian.

" Are you sure you don't know?"

Papa Ken's forehead crinkled when he heard Daddy Samuel's question, accusing him of knowing but pretending not to know.

" What do you mean you talk like that?"

Daddy Samuel showed a smile.

" I don't mean anything. Just don't know if you don't know if my son's disease is coming back. Because your son knows it" explained Daddy Samuel.

" My son? Wh who? "ask Papa Ken curious. He has two sons.

" Just ask them yourself. "

" When has Brian been like this? "Papa Ken asked again.

" Since returning from Indonesia, Brian's condition has worsened. Every day, after coming home from the office he would just ponder and stay in his apartment. He won't go back to the Mansion for fear that I'll find out about his illness."

" And, a week ago. I found Brian's body already drowning on a pile of books about Islam. From there I knew one thing, if Brian was heartbroken because he did not get blessing and planned to convert. "

Deg

Papa Ken's heart stopped for a moment. He never thought that Brian actually kept his word. The memory of his last conversation with Brian seemed to spin back.

The next day, after the incident Brian who took Anneta to the helicopter flight. Brian comes to Fabio's office where the group meets Papa Ken and asks for a chance to prove that he really loves Anneta.

" What else do you want to prove to me, Brian?"

" I'll prove it if I don't just mess with Anneta, but give me time to prove it."

" In fact, since the relationship with Anne. I've learned a lot about Islam, as well as Anne who has taught me a lot about Islam. But, there was still doubt in this heart. "

" If you still have doubts, then don't do it. Because I do not want to, you entered Islam solely for the sake of getting my blessing, not from the heart. "

" So, Papa will give me time to strengthen my heart and study Islam more deeply? "

" I don't promise, but if in that time Anne can get a much better and sure man. Sorry, if I'll approve. "

" So, has Brian become a convert? "ask Papa Ken.

" But Mr Ken, are you sure you don't approve of their relationship just because of different beliefs, not stories from the past? " Daddy Samuel asked that too.

Honestly, Daddy Samuel is afraid that Papa Ken does not actually approve of Anne and Brian's relationship not only because of different beliefs, but mistakes in the past. If that were true, it would be Daddy Samuel who would feel very guilty.

Papa Ken was silent for a moment.

" Do you not care if your son converts?" I don't know why Papa Ken asked this instead of answering Daddy Samuel's question.

" It's more to be disappointed, but if it was Brian's choice I would accept it. Because I know, Brian must have thought about it carefully before he made a decision."

" So, Mr. Ken. Can you support their relationship? I know my son has so many deficiencies, plus the brain cancer he has. But, only Anneta can be a source of strength for Brian to survive and fight his disease like before. So, I beg___"

" Stop Master Samuel!" exclaim Papa Ken.

" You're a father, aren't you?"

" So, you know how it feels for a Dad who always wants to see his daughter happy, not suffering."

" Why are you talking as if you knew Anneta would suffer with Brian?"

Papa Ken pulled the corner of his lips." Now you think and see for yourself, if Anne saw Brian's condition like this, would she be happy? "

" Brian is my only and only child that I have in this world. So__"

" And Anneta is also my only daughter!" Papa Ken cuts off Daddy Samuel.

" The daughter I look after, I take care of with love and affection. And, now you want to take it also from me just for Brian? Did you forget that eighteen years ago, you took someone very meaningful in my life and my children? " Papa Ken is like a time bomb ready to explode.

Daddy Samuel nodded

" I didn't take it, I helped him" refused Daddy Samuel, who suddenly refused to be blamed.

" Help, but close your eyes and ears so you don't want to find out who your family is just because your son needs him. That's what you mean!" concluded Papa Ken with a slightly raised voice.

Afterwards, Papa Ken rushed to leave.

" Wait! " call Daddy Samuel, but Papa Ken ignores it.

" So it turns out to be true, if all this time you don't approve of their relationship because of the past story?"shouted Daddy Samuel who immediately made Papa Ken step stopped, then turned his body.

Both of Papa Ken's hands were clenched tightly, his jaws were getting hardened, with a glare so sharp.

" What's why? Are you going to kill me so that nothing else gets in the way of their relationship? "
