In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 47: I Return Your Daughter

The wind blew the dry leaves that fell, cloudy clouds blanketed the sky that afternoon until it felt more shady than usual

With a long breath, the man who just came down from his motorbike said hello to a simple terraced house that looked beautiful with various types of flowers placed in pots of various sizes

"Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumussalam" sounded greetings from behind

When the third greeting then the homeowner opened the door, judging from the sarong and peci perched on the head can be guessed he just finished praying

"Wa'alaikumussalam"

"Qais? Tumben once, what's up?"

Qais was silent for a moment, staring at the man who took care of him after their parents died. The words he composed in such a way may be lost in the head somewhere. What came out of her mouth surprised her

"I've killed people" Kenzo was silent for a moment like a daze

"Let's go in, talk inside" Kenzo opened the door of his house wide, and took his sister to sit on the couch. He was sure he had heard wrong

"What did you say?, I couldn't hear clearly"

"I killed a brother, I'm a murderer"

Deg

Kenzo looked at his sister with a hard-to-understand look

"A what do you mean Qais? No kidding!" Kenzo raised his tone, the house was just the two of them because his wife and two children were going to attend school activities

"But he's still alive"

"B*jing*n is still alive!, he should have just died!"

"QAIS!" Qais looked down then looked at her brother who seemed to not understand anything

"I took revenge for the death of our parents, I couldn't have let..."

"So you did it?" Cut Kenzo. He looked at his sister disappointed but with sadness

"You did it?" Deuteronomy once again and Qais nodded. His sister certainly knows about the news that is frenzied in the public right now. Kenzo rubbed his hair in frustration

"Qais, how many times does your sister remind you that a grudge will only damage yourself!"

"But I can't accept he's happy when casually his dirty hands kill other people just for a senseless grudge"

"And you do the same? A vendetta? Does that make you happy? Does that make your heart happy?" Qais was silent because his brother was right

"Qais sister can't believe you're acting that far. Brother was indeed angry at the man, but that was not the right way to repay him. Brother is trying to find evidence and witnesses as much as possible to hand it over to the law"

"I have all the evidence"

"Why did you do that stupid thing?"

"Because he's not necessarily sentenced to death"

"So the reason you did everything yourself is for him to die? Is he dead now?"

"No, right? It is precisely you that you lead yourself to the law" Again Qais was silent, regretful and another undefined feeling raged in his chest

"I'm ready to accept my punishment, because the evidence I have is sure to get him the death penalty" Kenzo was eager to scream and beat up his sister all-out, but he knows that anger only leads to bad things

"Qais didn't you think long enough to say that easily? Aren't you thinking about how your wife's fate is?"

"I'll probably divorce her"

PLACKS

This time Kenzo actually vented his anger through the slap

"I thought of everything and I'm sure this is the right path" martial Qais

"A divorce is the right path?"

"I'm definitely being punished for this case, I won't let him bear the status of a prisoner's wife! I will not let her name be ruined just because I am her husband" Shouted Qais, a moment later she wept dumbstruck because how could she have done that to her wife, the woman she loved so much

"What are you going to tell his father? I don't think it's gonna be that easy"

"I'll see him now, however, that Baj* is likely to report to the police tomorrow"

Kenzo took a deep breath, wanting him to curse his brother with stupid names and so on, but he remembered that the arrival of Qais here he needed was a support

"Sister will find the best lawyer for you, trying to get you punished as lightly as possible"

.

Grey sky is still a sight when the sun slowly towards the western horizon. The air was getting colder, as the sky slowly turned dark. By establishing his steps, Qais entered the yard of a two-story house that looked simple but beautiful because of the many types of flowers planted there

"Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumussalam" sounded greetings from behind

By establishing his intention Qais towards the back area, his in-laws were apparently sitting in a chair while feeding the fish in the pool

"Qais?" Naufal scrunched his brows

"I came alone" Qais realized the confusion of his father-in-law who saw his father. It seems he suspected that Ila was coming with him

"Tumben once, is there anything important you want to talk about?" Naufal put the fish feed in his hand to the place again then invited Qais into the house

"Dad get me a drink for a second"

"Don't do it, I just want to say something after it's gone"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Naufal raised next to his eyebrows suspiciously, from yesterday inexplicably his feelings were not good

"I wanted to apologize to you before because my decision definitely hurt your heart as a father"

Naufal's feelings are getting worse, because if it's about his daughter he won't be able to keep quiet

"What do you want to say exactly?"

Qais took a deep breath, his eyes reddened with tears, honestly he seemed never able to say this.He took a long breath, then looked into the eyes of his father-in-law who was also looking at him

"Before I wanted to tell Dad something if I got caught up in a legal case" Naufal's hand began to clench

"What case?"

"The "attempted murder" said Qais, which was able to make Naufal's emotions increase, but he immediately took the privilege of staying calm. However, the words that come out when angry are words that are never good

"Dad already knows the news that is widely discussed by the public now. Mr. Rangga is a businessman who is now back after being reported dead"

"You did it?" Qais nodded as Naufal asked

"He killed both my parents, and I saw with my own eyes" tears fell from his eyes but he quickly wiped them away

"So you're getting revenge?" Qais nodded the second time

"Revenge is not to be done no matter what you hate, for Allah has prepared a man's recompense according to what he did" Naufal's advice made Qais bow

"I should have known that, but my heart was covered in grudges that were becoming more and more. I couldn't see him proudly sitting in his company seat when I realized it was the reason for killing my parents"

"So my father's arrival today was something that I never really wanted to do" Qais took a deep breath and looked into his father-in-law's eyes as if waiting for an answer

"I'm going to go to jail and hold the title of inmate and I don't want my wife's name to be bad for her. Therefore father, I'm giving your daughter back because I don't want her to be known badly by what I did"
