Love and the Past
The Part 177
Azka comes home at nine o'clock the night after Reni returns home, not wanting to leave Salsa alone at home. The others had gone home before dark.
"Be careful Ka, don't speed. It's coming straight home or going to stop by again where is it?"
"Just go home easy," Azka answered with her helmet on. "Tomorrow I'll pick you up, bye." Azka started the engine.
"Bah Azka." Salsa waves as Azka runs her bike until it disappears behind a large wall.
Lying that Azka said he would go straight home, proved that the male motor drove in the opposite direction. Azka parked her motorbike safely in the basement, then stepped into the elevator, pushing a fairly high figure into someone's hospital room.
Arriving at the front of the nursery, Azka clenched her hands trying to regulate the emotions within her before meeting Sang Papi. He opened the door slowly and found Ans sitting back and reading a magazine.
"Finally you come, son," greeted Ans put the magazine he read on the nightstand.
"What's wrong?" ask Azka without further ado. "If you want to fight with me, then get well first, I can't fight an old man who's sick" he continued.
"Sorry Papi son," Ans regretted making Azka raise her eyebrows in wonder.
Anson Wijaya apologized? It was an impossibility for Azka. Never mind apologizing, mistakes he made himself, often he did not even admit and threw it at others.
For example, when Tari miscarried, it was all Ans himself, but he was blamed.
"I don't need your apologies" Azka replied. "There's no need to talk, say what you want to say, I don't have time" he continued.
"No, come home, we live together like we used to. Papi promises not to treat you anymore, Papi will support all of your decisions" Ans pinta said with teary eyes.
Azka said she didn't want to look at Ans. The weakness is not being able to see people crying. He is indeed naughty and notoriously cruel in a friendly environment but not with the closest people.
"I'm sorry for all Papi's actions, son" Ans repeated.
"Azka doesn't matter if Papi's misgivings concern Azka herself, but lately you've even been suing the people around me."
"Sorry."
"And to return? It seems hard."
"But the promise after getting out of the hospital, Papi will meet Salsa and Mama to apologize" Ans replied.
"Say your mother, you want to get married son? Papi will prepare everything, Papi will propose to Salsa for you."
Azka was speechless, looking at Ans full of probing, looking for the furore in the man's eyes. But he didn't get it. Instantly his hard heart can be knocked by Ans. Yes his soul is indeed weak when it comes to Salsa.
"You're not planning anything to hurt Salsa anymore, are you?" tanya Azka made sure.
"No son, Papi sincerely said this. Papi will accept Salsa and obey all your wishes, as long as you want to go home," Ans persuaded sincerely.
"I'll think about it" Azka replied.
"Ashka ...."
"I'm tired of taking a break, if there's nothing more you want to say, I'll go" Azka cut.
"Be careful, son, maybe Papi will be out of the hospital tomorrow. We will go to Salsa's house together later" Ans replied.
Azka did not reply, directly leaving Ans just like that. Let's say he's not polite to be like that to his Papa, but what a sense of disappointment is so great.
About Ans' treatment so far to him he still gave tolerance, but when Ans presumptuously hurt Salsa's self-esteem, that's where Azka can not stand still.
However, something made the man's heart warm and relieved after talking to his Papi tonight. The call of the boy was so melodious in Azka's hearing.
For a long time, Ans finally considered him a child.
