Love Like a Father
Erlan gritted her teeth and a burning look towards the thing that broke her heart, with a crimson face extinguished. He clasped his wife's hand even tighter, then took her to the hospital, as he had done.
Several guards prepared for Erlan's previous case with Fadli. However, no matter what they were guarding, it still could not hold back as Erlan forcefully thrust his fists towards Fadli, without saying anything. Even he did that with only one hand because the other hand still held Winsi.
“Erlan!” pekik Winsi and Hanifa simultaneously.
“Since when did you become the one who solved the problem in this way? Is it all because of your wife?” said Winsi while releasing his hand.
“Erlan, what do you mean to come here just to make a fuss?” hanifa asked almost at the same time as she spoke.
“Hani, have you recovered?” erlan said as she approached Hanifa and held her hands gently. The woman looked up and looked in wonder.
“I'm not sick, I just have to come but, yes, right Fadli?” hanifa said as she turned to Fadli who was still holding her red cheeks and there was a hint of blood on the corner of her lips. The man nodded.
“Iya!” fadli said without guilt.
While Hanifa let go of Erlan's handrails.
All who were there finally understood if maybe that was the method of arousing the confidence of someone who had experienced a mental disorder.
However, for Erlan Fadli's actions were extremely exaggerated. He did say ask permission to visit, Hanifa at any time, but, who would have thought if Fadli actually got a call to work at the place where Hanifa is being treated.
“Is this how you heal my wife, by touching her carelessly?” erlan asked, clutching Fadli's collar and pushing against the wall.
“Pak! They are only in the suggestion that they are treated there not because of pain, but because their minds do not run as they should. Then, we will create a pattern of thinking patients can accept the situation with chest roomy!” said one of the doctors who saw the incident.
“So, what Fadli did was right, he gave a touch of affection, according to what happened to Hanifa!” the man said again, Erlan nodded and released his grip on Fadli.
“Do you guys not see, he kissed her!” peeked Erlan while pointing towards Fadli's face irritated.
“Hanifa, don't you know, dear, that, all the tragedies that befall and burden our minds and souls are but weak things because we are the ones who must be stronger, we can't lose to the situation, yes, right?” said Fadli trying to distract and Hanifa nodded.
“Yes. I often lack the affection of Mama and Papa, but Fadli gave me everything!” hanifa.
Erlan became misbehaved, suddenly her heart throbbed in pain. He gave everything but someone else got the credit. In fact, he had already relented by receiving all the treatment Hanifa considered his papa.
Erlan left the place quickly while entering the consultation room located a few meters away from the scene. One hand pulled Winsi, and the other hand dragged the doctor who was talking.
Arriving at that place. They talk by standing. While Winsi sat on the terrace on one chair that was there, without being able to hear what they were talking about. She reluctantly.
“Did Hanifa really heal?” ask Erlan.
“Yes. He could recover faster than expected. Maybe in about two weeks to get healthy. So, let him be under Fadli's watch. She's the right nurse.”
“Oh, so, what if I disagree?”
“If you take it home now it could be, but our therapeutic material has not been completely finished, just a little more.”
“I ask Fadli not to be left alone with Hanifa!” Erlan said thoughtfully, he will not allow someone who is still in his responsibility to fall into sin. Moreover, he as a family of patients with VIP facilities can of course make requests. The origin is still according to existing procedures.
“Father, don't worry, maybe Fadli loves Hanifa too much, so, yes, he sometimes overdoes it.”
Erlan knew that Fadli liked Hanifa and did not know what the man did to his woman so easily said that Fadli had given everything. Ah that's right!
The man decided to go home without saying goodbye to Hanifa and will be back there in two weeks.
“Hanufa seems to remember yes, if you are her husband?” winsi said while putting a seatbelt into her seat, as did Erlan and, she nodded.
“Why not take it home, it has healed, so you can spill miss him!”
Erlan did not respond, she was reluctant to argue today, she just focused on the streets and rode her bike at a moderate pace.
“You must be jealous, see your wife in kissed people ... duh .. really love yes, same wife, to hit people like that?”
Erlan stopped her car and pulled over, then, she removed her seatbelt quickly, just as quickly as she reached out to the back of her head and pressed her lips firmly on it, it was a long kiss. The woman accepted in silence neither resisting nor replying.
After being satisfied, Erlan released her lips with a breath that was still panting.
“You know, if you are needed like that by other men?”
“What?”
“I not only hit, but, I must have killed him with my own hands!”
Winsi could not, he shifted his gaze and Erlan returned to advance the car to the streets.
*****
Erlan comes alone to the mental hospital to pick up Hanifa and will be taken back to her home. However, when he got there, from the information side he knew that his wife had been brought home by Fadli to his house since yesterday.
How upset and angry Erlan was at the man who had behaved at his own discretion, without seeing who Erlan was, hnya because he loved Hanifa and was ready to take care of even, becoming his companion if Erlan divorced him.
Fadli knew that Erlan had two wives, making him not like to see Hanifa being fed up with her love even though it was by her own husband and, their marriage was legal and religious.
When he saw Erlan coming, Fadli was prepared to stand by the door even he was ready to take another hit but, not yet Erlan approached, Hanifa had already stepped before Fadli.
“Don't hit him!” hanifa.
“Hani, you, defended her?” said Erlan, and of course made Fadli feel happy.
“Yes. I defended him because he's a man who loves me, Lan!”
“Oh, so is that it? Don't you remember anything I've been through with you all this time?”
“Yes. I know, Fadli already told me everything and I also remember a little when we got married, I was happy back then, Lan.” Hanifa said as she shed tears and Fadli who was behind her patted her head gently covered in a headscarf.
“I also remember after we were legitimate, then, I got back sick and since then I don't remember anything anymore. All I know all this time I have a very good and caring Papa, when I know my real Papa Mama, always busy with her plantation.”
Erlsn now knew why Hanifa's attitude during her childhood was so spoiled.
“Yes. Now I'm cured and I won't consider you Papa anymore, so you don't have to be someone else just to make other people happy. That's enough, Lan!”
“What do you mean, Han!”
“Be yourself, there is no need to pretend to love myself just for the sake of responsibility. I know who you love more, Lan!”
“What did Fadli tell you?”
“Everything, including your wife, Winsi. I know you love him more!”
Hanifa saw for herself how Erlan had behaved to Winsi while visiting her, the man did not let go of his hand even though he was there at the time.
“So just give me, Lan! I'm used to losing, I know what happened to my Mom, and I don't have to be anyone else just for you. No!”
Erlan only realized that the three of them, himself, Hanifa and Winsi had both experienced different heavy lives but, one that was similar was the same-samq had lost. However, wasn't the strength of one's heart forged due to the sheer amount of loss in his life?
“So, that's your wish, even though I haven't given you a choice or even told you everything?”
“Yes. I like you, Lan. In fact, since I was in school, but, I also do not want us to marry without love, and only on the basis of pity!”
“Alright, if indeed you want to leave, and break this relationship, then decide! I will go home with the confidence that God exists and you will be fine!”
“Good. You said it and let Fadli be the witness. He will marry me when Iddah is over
“Good, from today we are divorced, and I am not your husband anymore, you and I should not bear the responsibility, which should be borne by husband and wife. May you be happy.”
After saying this, Erlan left Hanifa and Fadli in the house. Not yet Erlan reached his car, Reni and Darma came.
“Erlan, where are you going, Hanifa just healed you're gone? Must have met your other wife, right? You're a thankless dick!” reni said, just then the three of them met in the courtyard.
“Yes. I am very grateful to Hanifa and her family for being an intermediary for me, for getting a great reward. Hopefully I can be sincere. Oh yea. One more Bude, I am now no longer her husband, because I, already shout Hanifa!”
“What? Why are you divorced, what an advantage that woman has over Hanifa, more beautiful than your wife!” said Reni again.
“It is not my wish to divorce, Bude ... Hanifa herself is willing because she loves Fadli!”
For Hanifa while in recovery, only Fadli was there for her, while Erlan never came, even the man often gave her a sweet surprise, she said, like a soft kiss on the head or on the cheek without him knowing and the girl could not resist. Fadli was more considerate and fit for him.
“Oh, I see, yes it's gone, why are you here then?” reni said as he stepped away from Erlan and entered Hanifa's house.
Erlan turned her head and looked at the house at a glance, before getting into the car and turning it around, then, leaving with an uneasy feeling. How not because he just divorced his wife. It was Hanifa's own wish, but, still, it was a bitter experience for her, like deciding on a boyfriend. Hate but still hurt too.
On the way he was worried about where to go, but he was not going home, suddenly he wanted to go to his father's grave to visit him.
Arriving there, he was surprised because Runa and Winsi were there, even with Ziddan in his mother's arms.
“Ah, you are here apparently, if I go home there must be no one at home,” Erlan murmured almost inaudibly.
Erlan did not reprimand them, because they were also busy berTO’a. He knelt down on the other side and did the same thing, begging that all his father's sins be forgiven and laid to rest.
Ziddan who had started learning to talk was suddenly chattering and showing Erlan. For a moment the man looked up and smiled at his sister. He stopped do’anya and stepped around the tomb, practice taking Ziddan from the sling of Runa, and kissed him repeatedly.
“That's Dad's meal,” Erlan said as she pointed to her father's grave. “Later, if you've grown up, Brother will tell you, how great our Father is.”
Ziddan replied with an obscure ramblings, typical of children.
“Now come! We're home!” erlan said again, then she turned to the two women who were still bowing at the side of the tomb with an outpouring of their hearts.
“Oh, you guys haven't finished apparently?” erlan muttered again while returning to kiss Ziddan.
“Mas, I know everything that happens to our children, not my wishes, but they have the right to decide their own fate even though, whatever their decision will not be separated from God's destiny. I just hope they are happy,” Inner Runa.
“Dad, I don't blame Erlan for the decisions she makes, whatever they are, I just love her like I love you, Dad. I know, if you were here, surely you would be angry because Erlan hurt me, but, she has no intention of hurting anyone.” Winsi said in her heart, wiping her tears.
“Daddy ... I resigned to whatever he decided later with my marriage. Dad, he's a good husband, like you are so good to Mom, but Dad, this will still be my secret, if you are my first love!”
After they finished expressing their hearts, they went together without a word, their feelings and actions were so compact. Erlan stepped ahead of them, but a moment later she turned around then, reaching for the hand of Provinsi with Ziddan still in her carriage.
Arriving at their vehicle, Winsi entered Erlan and Runa's car with Hasnu as the usual driver.
“So, what's your decision?” winsi said after the car started driving towards the road home.
“Life is indeed a choice, but, sometimes humans can not choose because fate has preceded before we can drop the choice!”
“If you mean to stay married to Hanifa after she recovers, because she chose to stay with you, I chose to retreat, Lan!”
“You said back off, but I'll catch up as fast as you run!”
“Aaan, anyway?”
“Call me Dear!” erlan said while pulling the car over.
Then, he removed his seat belt and leaned his body closer to Winsi and said gently, “Where are you going back to?”
“Eh, don't kiss here!”
“What's the matter, Darling?”
Erlan had already kept one hand behind Winsi's head and the girl had her head back. However, shortly afterwards, he let go again and put the seatbelt back on.
“We continue again at home, okay?” Erlan said with a flirtatious smile and blinked one eye. “I just want to do it with you! Remember that, no other woman now ...”
Winsi heard all Erlan said and digested her in a very serious mind until she concluded one thing that, she was now the only woman in her husband's life.
‘Dad, he's not like you, but he loves me too, just like Dad loves me' Inner Provinces.
