The Contract Husband I Love
27. Tea Go Home

"Do you think, by jumping into the river, all the trouble will be over?" ask the man seriously. Tea shook his head while embarrassed. His lips were too heavy to say a word. As if he's out of stock.

The man exhaled, "Didn't you feel sorry for your parents? With you jumping into the river, then the burden on their shoulders will be more and more. Problems don't end just by taking shortcuts. Running from reality, it will not make our feelings calm later, our spirits instead gentayangan find a way out ..."

"Suggest from me, you better go home and tell your mom and dad everything. If they are angry, then you must accept it because of the consequences you have to accept. Life is easy, but sometimes it is ourselves who make it difficult. So, go back to them and apologize because I'm sure, right now they must be very fast."

The man advised Tea at length so that the ayu girl who tried to end her life, changed her mind. Suicide is not allowed in religion.

Despite the weight of the problem, do not ever think to end life because the problem will not be solved with us dead.

***

Tea can think clearly again. Meanwhile, at the Handoko family residence. Fatmawati was in the fog to find her daughter who was not home.

"What do you do, si? Keeping one person alone is not trudging! Now you go out and find my daughter! Hurry along!" he snapped, commanding everyone in his residence to find the existence of Tea who went somewhere?

His heart began to feel ungodly. There were many things filling his mind. "No ... Don't think that's not it. Tea must be fine. He came out just to get some fresh air. I'm sure it is. But ..."

He himself tried to brush off those bad thoughts. Trying to calm her heart that Tea will be fine. Remembering, the girl often went out at night, spending time with her friends. So there's a chance Tea went to her friend's house.

Even so, his heart was still not calm. She felt sorry for having died Tea alone at home. Since morning, Fatma was at the house of her neighbor, Ms. Asma because tomorrow she would marry her son. So, Fatma decided to help out there as a tradition. If there are neighbors who will hold a celebration, then the surrounding residents come to help.

Fatma came home to deliver food, that's when she found out that her only daughter was not at home. When he came to the Tea room, the condition of the room there was already disheveled and there were blood spots on the sheets.

Fatma's heart was in turmoil at the thought of something that might happen to her daughter. "Hopefully he's fine" he said as he adjusted his breathing to avoid getting too tense.

Fatma comes from a fairly well-respected family there. Five years ago, Fatma ran the business out of Handoko, which belonged to her husband. During that time Fatma also lived her family alone. Starting from Tea school to college now and also home assistant hands that have long worked there.

Fatma pacing back and forth is not careless. He kept looking at the phone in his hand, hoping to get word of Tea's whereabouts. So far, no one has contacted him.

The time has shown at 01:30 in the morning. At this hour the girl came out on her own, what else is she going to get married. Fatma's heart was increasingly unsettled, thinking about her daughter's circumstances.

Where's Tea going? Who'd she go with? The questions filled his mind without stopping.

"Niken," he said as his mind was drawn to contact his nephew. "Yes ... Niken would know. Tea, must've told Niken."

Fatma hurriedly searched Niken's number on her phone. Niken Angelista Atmaja, his niece who lives in Jakarta, as well as a cousin and friend for Tea.

The phone was connected, but no one picked it up yet. Fatma looked towards the wall clock. I don't know what Niken is doing there now, there's a bad feeling to contact Niken at this hour, but how else? He just wanted to confirm the whereabouts of his daughter.

There was still a ringing sound from the other end. Fatma paced, while biting her fingers feeling nervous and not calm.

"Assynolajet. Yes, Aunt. What's up?"

There was a voice over there, which was none other than Niken. Fatma hastily put her phone close to her mouth.

"Nnickn ... What, Tea call you, honey? Tea was not at home and Aunt was very worried about him" said Fatma, even forgetting to return the greetings Niken because it was too panicked.

"Tea's gone from home, Tan? How can?" asked Niken who sounded worried.

"Tante also does not know the exact reason, but Aunt is very anxious because Niken's room is so messy and there are many blood spots on her mattress. Aunty's worried, afraid Tea's doing something ..."

Fatma at least tells the chronology of what happened to Niken. From the other end of the phone, Niken was heard saying Istighfar several times, while breathing deeply.

"Astaghfiullah, Tan. Istighfar, Aunt. You can't talk like that. Istighfar. Tea's definitely back, she won't do anything like that, Tan. Niken is sure, he'll be home. Aunty just pray, ask God, to give protection to Tea, wherever she is now," said Niken affirming, at the same time reminding his Aunt more steadfast in dealing with existing problems.

Fatma also said istighfar because it was too anxious to forget his greatness. "I'm sorry, Aunt once again, honey. Really, Auntie's feelings right now are so chaotic that she can't think straight, but thank God. Now Auntie is calmer and not like before.

Niken gave thanks from behind the phone call. He breathed a sigh of relief because Fatma was already calmer. Niken can understand how Tante feels now.

He also panicked when he heard that Tea was leaving the house. If it were close to his Tantian home, he might have gone and met Fatma, giving her support so as not to be too sad.

When Fatma was still talking to Niken, someone called her. "Mother!"

Instantly Fatma turned her gaze around, looking for the source of the voice. His lips quivered, his eyes were now glazed when he saw the figure of the girl who had been questioned since his existence.

"Mother!" Tea ran from the door lips. Fatma took off her phone, then immediately hugged the princess.

Her feelings broke when she successfully hugged Tea back. I don't know what happened to her daughter, but Fatma is grateful that Tea is back in good shape.

Tea was sobbing, "I'm sorry Tea, Mom because Tea left the house without telling mom or anything else" she was upset.

Fatma let go of her embrace, then looked at the princess from top to toe and hugged her back tightly, as if she did not want to lose her again.

"Why did you do this to Mom? Do you want to see your mother lonely and die from missing you?"

In his last sentence, Tea hurriedly placed his index finger on Fatma's lips. "I'm not gonna let that happen. Forgive Tea for acting stupid today. Tea, really sorry to have made mom cry."

The crying broke again. He spilled it in the arms of his beloved mother. Fatma hugged him back, stroking his mane. Give all his affection at that time as well.

"Remove your tears, dear," he said as he wiped the remaining clear crystals from Tea's cheeks. "Mom knows everything, baby. You're not wrong, it should be the mother who apologizes for having to force you to marry that bastard!"

His neck jaws hardened as he recalled how depraved his future son-in-law was, when he was not at home. Fatma had seen it all, the depravity of the Galaxy that made her disgusted to think of her as a potential daughter-in-law.

"So you know what happened in that room?" tanya Tea with teary eyes.

Fatma immediately nodded, "Mom saw everything, Honey. Everything that happened in your room I've seen and made you feel disgusted" she admitted, brushing her teeth.

"How could you know that?" tanya Tea again because she didn't know that her mother had seen all the disgusting deeds of the Galaxy.

"Mom saw it from CCTV, honey. There's a CCTV I installed in your room without your knowledge, honey."

Fatma stroked the mane of the beloved princess, while continuing her sentence. "Because I'm scared, you and Galaxy are doing something that's going to make you fall into Satan's circle, honey."

Hearing the confession, Tea embraced Fatma so tightly. Her cries broke again as she recalled the betrayal Leona had committed behind her.

"I'm sorry for forcing you to marry a guy like him. If you knew from the beginning, you didn't love her then, at that moment, you'd end your arranged marriage, dear," the regret that Tea could feel.

"Let's get the silver lining, honey. In this way, at least you don't get married to a depraved man like him!" his erang. Fatma could not hide her anger when she found out, the man she thought well was a wolf in sheep's clothing, a poisonous snake and a crocodile.

Unfortunately, Fatma did not mention the Galaxy again. The young man was even inferior to the trash that was on the streets.

"Excuse me" said a man standing at the end of the door.

"Who is he?" fatma asked when she saw the man for the first time.
