Our Love Is Not Over
The Part 44
The day that Edgar was waiting for arrived, where on that day, Tamara sent a message to Edgar asking to talk about the cancellation of their marriage to Tamara's parents. Although his heart was happy, but there was a bit of sadness and guilt for hurting a good woman like Tamara. But he also could not continue because he did not want to hurt too deeply. After all, from a choice taken there will definitely be a risk.
Now Edgar was in the courtyard of the Tamara family home. He and Tamara stood tall next to him before stepping closer to the door.
"Let me do the talking" asked Tamara.
Edgar refused, because he was the one who should have spoken.
"No, Tam. You only talk when necessary, for everything let me finish."
"But ... " Tamara's speech was stopped because it was cut first by Edgar.
"I've hurt you, Tam. I will be responsible for my own decisions. I'm ready for what I'm going to receive from Om Galih."
"My father was very protective of me Gar. If she heard her daughter's breaking up like this, I wouldn't I'd be as angry as she is. So, I'd better just talk so I can temper his anger."
Edgar refused. Tamara finally resigned, because Edgar was stubborn.
Edgar and Tamara enter the Tamara family home. Papa Tamara immediately welcomed Edgar's presence very well and let him sit down.
"I'm curious about what you want to talk about, because my daughter says it's very important. Is it as important as what? Will your wedding date be set?"
"Not Om" replied Edgar.
"What lounge?"
"I'd like to apologize first, ma'am."
Papa Tamara's eyebrows immediately raised because he did not understand why Edgar had to apologize? Edgar had nothing wrong with him.
"I can't continue this marriage."
Papa Tamara's eyes immediately rounded perfectly. He stood up from his seat while hitting the table in front of him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAY THAT, EDGAR!?" Papa Tamara is angry.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go on."
"WHY!? SHOULD THERE BE A REASON WHY YOU WANT TO CANCEL IT? DO YOU LOVE OTHER WOMEN?"
Edgar did not return the remark because he did not want Raisa to be dragged into his problem. Because it was his own decision.
"HAHAHA, WHICH WOMAN CAN LOVE MY DAUGHTER!?"
Papa Tamara could immediately guess it because of Edgar who was speechless. His heart was very sick and disappointed with Edgar's behavior.
"MORTH! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS ALL MEANS? DID YOU AGREE TO CANCEL THIS MARRIAGE?"
Tamara looked down and nodded. He added words.
"I don't want to take a father's affection for his children. Let me be the one who is hurt by letting him go. So I beg you, don't do anything to hurt Edgar."
Papa Tamara was not in a deep thought with his son who could still defend Edgar who had obviously hurt him. His son was truly made by love.
"Look, even my daughter still doesn't want you to suffer when you've hurt her. Maybe if you betray my trust in business, I can more easily forgive you, but if it's his business with my daughter, I can't. So what does that mean for kids? So you have a child with your ex-wife? Why are you lying to us all about you?
"Om can do anything, because I'm guilty here of hurting Tamara. I have a child with my ex-wife. But I only knew this last few days. I beg you not to do anything that could hurt them, the wrong thing is me. So, I'm the one who's supposed to hurt Om."
Papa Tamara laughed wryly again. He got angry and upset. While his son was defending and protecting Edgar, Edgar was protecting his ex-wife and children. He can't take it anymore.
Plaque!
A slap drifted to Edgar's right cheek until it made Edgar's cheek tip bleed.
"What's? Don't defend and protect her anymore! He doesn't deserve your protection!"
Not just slapping Edgar, Papa Tamara pulled the collar of Edgar's shirt and pushed him to the floor. He hit Edgar so hard that he battered Edgar's face.
Tamara had tried to stop him, but was always blocked by her papa. She cried so hard to see the person she still loved hurt.
Mama Tamara who had been there was only silent with empty eyes, as if she could not believe what Edgar had said. She even let Edgar get beaten up by her husband, as if it could represent his ailing heart because the daughter he loved had been hurt.
"Ma! Help me! Help me stop Papa! Edgar could die, Ma!"
"For what? Has he hurt you too?"
"Ma, please!"
Tamara even begged her mother while kneeling in front of her mother. Seeing her son pleading like that, made Mama Tamara sad. In the end, Mama Tamara stopped her husband's violent actions to Edgar.
"Better now that you're gone, before my husband hits you back," expelled Mama Tamara.
Edgar stood with all his might. His body felt limp as it continued to be beaten by his father Tamara. He did not deliberately return the blow because he deserved to be beaten.
His path was slow, his blood continuously dripping onto the floor. He smiles before going to Tamara and salutes her parents.
When Tamara wanted to help Edgar, to get the man out of her house, Mama Tamara immediately forbade.
"Don't get in touch with Edgar! Throw away anything related to him!"
"Ma, uh,"
"Don't argue with Tamara! He's already hurt you! He has chosen another woman! You should be aware of that, Tamara! Conscious! Don't keep chasing him anymore!"
Tamara went from there to her room crying.
Papa Tamara was still clenching her hands. He still wasn't satisfied hitting Edgar.
"Why did mom forbid papa?" ask Papa Tamara to Mama Tamara.
"He's been battered Pa, I don't want papa to kill people."
"But I'm not content to vent my resentment and pain!"
"Relax Pa, there's still another way. We can make him suffer because he made the wrong decision. He must accept the consequences of hurting our beloved daughter. Mama also can't accept our daughter being dumped just because of Edgar's ex-wife. Is it as beautiful and as good as she is, able to compete with our perfect daughter? Mama won't stay quiet either, Pa."
"Mama's right, papa will take our investment out of his company."
"Mama will find out who Edgar's ex-wife is. Because Edgar's been protecting his ex-wife's identity too much."

Edgar arrived at his home in a weakened state. His path was limping, his voice was soft and his vision began to blur. Edgar fell in the living room of his house.
"Get!" yell Oma Deli.
