Bound Mumtaz
Chapters 106. Fog.

Hearing the sound of a hiccup from Ibnu's waiting room hastening his cleaning activities, he somewhat parno considering this in the hospital.

As he remembers, only he is still living in Bara's room, while others have gone to campus or look for booby.

" Hello, that's,..." Ibnu slowly stepped towards the voice.

" Huhu.hiks.." when he got to the door,

" Yes,..." Ibnu was shocked to find Tia in the waiting room and saw her laptop that was hacking the streaming cctv office space Alfaska.

Tia's crying became more and more, "Sister, I failed to understand my husband." he whispered.

Ibn squatting before the seat occupied by Tia, "Yes, stop crying, if you feel guilty, return to being the Tia that Afa likes." Silence paused, Ibn continued his talk.

" Prof. Farhan called us about Ala's condition, not only physical exhaustion, but also mental shock."

" huh? What's?" Tia grew shocked," how could it be?"

" sir, Ira. This hospital psychologist said that for several months Ala consulted him, Kak Ala felt in experiencing emotional changes to be more aggressive towards something she did not like. Actually prof. Ira advised Kak Ala to speak from heart to heart with his family, but your busyness which has resulted until now has not been accomplished."

" in regard to your attitude, has not Ala always scolded you? but then instead of hating you, Ala felt guilty for herself for failing to be a parent to you." Tia shook his head, not believing what Ibn said.

" No!! Brother Ala is fine, sister!"

" Of course, Ala is fine, because often consult all mental disorders that can still be controlled, but that does not mean left."

" why? Why is it like this? Sis that's a strong man, sis!"  

" Afa told us. Yes, it is not only you who feel the loss of Mama, we all include Kaka Ala. He had no time to treat the wounds of Mama's departure because it should immediately become a solid pillar for his younger siblings whereas he himself had no one to take care of his injuries."

" We are shocked enough that Mumuy and Zayin are now abusing themselves for failing to protect you."

Tia shook her head, she did not expect the result of her selfishness making new wounds for her loved ones. He should have realized that the one who lost Mama was not only himself but everyone closest to him.

" Sister.." she shrieked in the midst of sobs

.

Ibnu brought Tia in his arms, "husssh.we fix it together, you simply become our Tia again."

" What about Ala?"

" Prof. Farhan said Ala had been trying to endure all her stress symptoms because she was used to living under pressure, but thanks to her body, her body could not support all the birth weights and her bath was so faint."

" Where's Aa Mumuy?" She was worried that her brother was secluding himself as usual.

" Went with Zayin, Daniel, and Radit to the opposite cafe."

Cklek!!!

Mumtaz, Zayin, Daniel, and Radit entered the room, they were quite surprised by Tia being there with Ibn.

" It's lucky you're here, yeah." Zayin.

" Why?"

" I want to talk to you." Zayin took a seat beside Tia who was sitting on the long sofa.

" Bang Inugghh must have told you the same story what happened to Brother Ala?" Tia nodded.

" Yes, I say this as Lo's brother even though we are only different ten minutes from his birth.

" A.what?" The aura that Zayin emitted made Tia nervous.

" As a wife, if you still want to maintain the household listen and follow what bang Afa said, like it or not. If that's hard for you, start thinking about ending this marriage,..."

Tia's body stiffened, she shook her head quickly, "don't want."

" Aa Mumuy and Aa have already discussed, can no longer let you be a burden on Afa because of your selfish attitude."

"A..."

" we take this judgment because it's been protracted, there must be action to end it before it gets wider."

" Aa Mumuy," Tia seeks a defense..

" Hear what Aa Ayin says!"

" But you crossed my privacy line!" bela Tia's.

" We don't care, because your attitude crosses the line of societal tolerance. Want more Aa Jabarin norms that apply in society?" Sindir Zayin keeps scorn.

Tia shook her head, "if you don't want to be arranged, stay away from us. Not because we don't care about you, but we don't accept your arrogance in our privacy area." Zayin insisted, he made sure his twin brother understood this very serious situation.

" Why should we love you if you don't love us? If you want us to love, then be a person that we can tolerate his attitude!"

Zayin's resolute aura made Tia squeak," think of it."

" Secondly, in the meantime, if you are still acting as sickly as before, stay away from Brother Ala! It's a warning, Tia!!" Zayin was full of intimidation.

" At the moment our concentration is only focused on Ala, brother, so whatever drama you're playing at Sandra Atma Madina's direction don't show up in front of you or I'm taking action that you can't imagine hurting."

" This we do because we love you. Don't make Aa take the step of destroying Atma Madina because it's to protect you."" Timpal Mumtaz quiet.

" Understood!?"

Tia could only nod, Zayin pulled the frightened Tia into her arms, hugging her tightly.

Mumtaz returned to Zahra's room.

" Is Ala's condition bad?" 

" It's not a severe problem or not, it's a matter of lost affection that Kaka Ala feels. And we'll give it back."

" I'm sorry, Tia fucked up."

" Thank God if you're conscious, now fix it. Do not expect love from someone who demands you turn into someone you do not want, because there is no sincere love like you want there is only manipulation and lies. Catch that!" Zayin closed his conversation by kissing Tia's forehead deeply and lovingly.

When the atmosphere relaxed again, Ibnu realized something,

" What are you doing here, by the way?"

Tia patted him on the forehead, "forget, I was told by Brother Bara to take his cell phone."

" Mobile? Bara's cell phone seized by Afa. Where is he now?"

" In Cassy's room."

" Issh, that sick person is also still a mode, let's go there." said Ibnu while pulling Tia's confused hand.

Ibnu went to Cassandra's room, where he saw Bara combing Cassandra.

Ibnu's nata ball twisting lazy,

The plot!!!

Tell me hard to hit Bara's head.

" Aaawss, what the hell is Lo Nu, like a jealous girl."

" Heh Malih, Lo is in the hospital for rest not to be stubborn."

" Combal, brother. Don't start typonya." The sweat of Tia, her brother this one likes to make a dime joke not in place, is really boring.

" Nu, this is my therapy. Do you want me to be a zombie too? Ngantri yes!!"

" My shit...Dhuha sana Dhuha. I'd love to go to Mama if you don't Dhuha." Although Aida is dead, but her role is still considered alive, so if there is one among them that can not be regulated, the name of Aida's mother is still a powerful weapon.

Bara clucked even though he was still moving from Cassandra's gurney," ngadu and destroyer atmosphere Lo."

" Wait for me, Beb, I want to fight God first so I can love you more for your marriage." After that, the bar disappeared behind the closed door.

" Xixixi.geli me if Kak Bara kayak gini." Chirps Tia.

" Moreover me" said Cassandra

" Who's with you, Cas." Ibnu did not see a single person in this room.

" That's Tia."

" Aren't you in college?" Ibnu realized Tia should have been in college.

" it's noon, it's the same Lia's been walked here again. Ita come I'm gone."

" Aren't you coming home?" Cassandra asked as she tidied up her stuff."

" Well what?"

" Today I go home, there will also be a King, Juan and Ayin and the others."

" Are they not going to be in the same bokap Lo because of the house rattles."

" No, Papa's men are shaken."

" Tumbent."

" Why the hell is the same sensation papa?"

" It's no sensi dear, but bokap Lo is indeed fierce."

" Bokap is not bad.."

" Just..." Cut Tia.

" sangar! Aarwwgh." Cassandra's raung practices lion-like movements.

" Maha..." The laughter of the two of them except Ibnu who did not dare laugh at Cassandra's words because he knew Damian and Julia heard it behind the door that opened a little.

" Good yes... Tease papa in the back." Sarkas Damian stepped in followed by his wife.

Cassandra and Tia wavered, they glanced at Ibnu who was holding back laughter.

" Where is it.eng.eng.no yes."

" That's who said grumpy papa, papa sangar."

" Who?.papa not fierce yes..."

" Just..." Damian Fishing.

" Sangar." Ceplos Cassandra shut her mouth.

" Hahahaha the ege." Tia Ledek.

Chequek!

" Yuhu's... It's beautiful bring food."

" Noisy Lo Ta." Cassandra Spray

Dista jumped in shock," again pms Lo?."

" Bodo, take me." Cassandra lay down covering her body with a blanket leaving her cleaning activities behind

" Thank God, that's a full-beef sandwich for me." Hearing the food from Dista Cassandra's mouth opened her blanket again.

" Ih, good news to Lo, I'm pissing my ass off." He said as he stepped onto the table that had a lot of food and drinks brought by Dista and Sicily.

" What a hell is it. Ababil Lo." Spray Dista.

As soon as Dista saw Ibnu walking towards the door," Brother, all the nitip orders from brother Mumtaz make kak Ala the same as others."Dista gave two papperbags filled with food.

" Hmm."

It's been 10 minutes since Mumtaz sat in a chair next to Zahra's gurney reading a book. Ever since Mumtaz came in, no one had spoken between them.

Mumtaz ventured to start the conversation.

" Sister, I.I'm sorry for daring to yell at Brother. I didn't mean to be rude to you." His words ended with a trembling voice.

Zahra put the book on her lap, staring sadly at Mumtaz.

" Sister who should apologize has forced you to obey your sister too much, you should understand how hard your sister's efforts to replace the role of Mama will not be able to, because your sister is only your sister."

Mumtaz shook his head quickly," sorry!!! I'm sorry!!! Sorry!!!!..." Please bow in.

Slowly Zahra carried Mumtaz's head in her arms.

" Your dear brother! Maybe you're wrong, but you're acting best for you."

" I'm the one who's sorry! do what you think you should do for our good. You're our parents now." The thrill of being submerged in Zahra's arms.

They broke down the embrace, Mumtaz stood up and carried Zahra into his arms.

" It's not just me who needs a hug, but Brother as well." Kissing the head of Zahra with shahdu.

" Huhuhu..hiks..huhuhu..." Zahra cried loose while returning her embrace by tightly embracing Mumtaz's waist.

" Sister confused to whom else brother confided, sister confused no longer reprimanding brother, sister confused no one else called brother if late coming home. Brother confused to whom brother complained if brother angry, brother lost grip, brother...MOMMY... MAMA..." Not only did Zahra cry, but Mumtaz. 

Indeed, what Zahra Mumtaz felt I felt.

" MAMA..." Call them as a child releasing all emotions in that one word. Emotions of longing, love, need, loneliness, all the emotions they are trying to overflow.

The screams of their hearts came out where the companions were sitting idly chatting, their chatter stopped as soon as they heard the cry from Zahra's ward, and heard all the words of the zahra, No doubt they were crying.

" I also miss Mama Aida, she who likes my defense if you guys are*bully* me who failed gombalin brother Ala." Oceh Radit's.

" I miss too. He was the first customer of nasi uduk nyokap, where if mesan much more make my nyokpa eyes sparkle." Timpal Rizal's.

Followed by the longing of the friends who often stay at Aida's house. Except for Daniel and Ibn who were silent with their thoughts.

" When there's no Mama, maybe I'd have killed myself." Ibn remembered a heart wound that he could hardly bear.

Ibnu's words surprised them all, they asked what wounds Ibn had borne to such an extent.

Without them realizing it, Bara heard all their heartfelt behind the door with tears still shed.

Then he took Daniel's cell phone lying on the table.

" Hello." Apply as soon as the phone connection is lifted.

" **Hallo, what's wrong Niel**?" Answer Alfaska across the channel.

\* It's Bara."

Quiet for a moment,"**ooh, why Bar**?"

" Lo needs to stay away from Mami from Tia's family."

" **What**?"

" I know about Brother Ala, if we want them to be okay, we need to stay away from Mami from Tia and her family."

" **Ooh, that. Without Lo asking I would also stay away from Mami from them**."

" **Now how is Ala**?"

" I'm crying with Mumtaz."

" **Zayin**?"

" She's sleeping in the waiting room.

" **Lo itself**?"

" *Overall* good. Why do you hide Kak Ala's condition from me?"

" **Don't mean that, just mentally you're still not****fine********so as a cousin, I think it's a delay to tell Lo**."

" Mumtaz's?

" **Males I think about his mentality, his face is too flat. We leave about Mumtaz to Ibn**."

" Do you think we're overburdening them?"

" **It's too late to think so, in fact I think it's time we were there for them, like they were there for us**."

" Daniel?"

" **Dia******fine***, **equal thoughts I**."

" **Bar**..."

" I was careless asking RaHasiYa for help on Cassandra's case?" Cut Coals.

" **No, Mumtaz himself said he would not withdraw from the case. Let's talk about this next time. Today we have a consultation with prof. Ira**."

" Heh, okay. Even though I'm lazy if there's Radit in there."

" **That's on Ala's orders**."

Bara was stunned to know that fact, he rubbed his face rough.

While staring at the sleeping Zayin, with a quivering voice Bara said,

" Till the end Ala always knew what I was, we needed, huh!?" His issue.

" **Hmm. You can make up for it by treating brother Ala eat expensive. I'm sure Mr. Ala gladly drained the contents of the Lo* conglomerate wallet**."

Bara chuckles," hehehe, surely it's.with pleasure I jabanin."

" **All of us!! Together make Ala healed. I hung up the phone I was busy. Lo mah yang yang ngang money keep down**." The annoyed speech managed to make Bara laugh a little comforting his heart knowing Alfaska was in his position before he got sick.

Chequek!!!

On the doorstep Ibn stood observing Bara," why?"

" What?"

" You laugh so hard."

" It's good to think that Afa is stuck in the middle of the office file."

" Ooh, if I'm crazy, I'm a lot of slang with Cassy."

Bara casually threw Daniel's expensive cell phone, which was fortunately immediately captured by Ibn aloud. 

" Hhhhhhhh, this guy."

" That's why my people throw, if my own hp ogah.

" Ck, you wanna come?"

" Where?"

" To Ala's room, eat our big meal."

" May."

" Yes, yeah. Wake up Ayin."

" Hm."

\*\*\*\*\*

" Arya sir, I think your request is excessive just to respond to the suspension found by Mutia, firing Zahra? *its**nonsense*." Elena ride the apoplexy.

Now Gama, Elena and Dominiaz with Arya gathered at cafe' D'lima discussing the suspension received by Mutia.

" I understand that if you object, so in my request it is not free. If you agree to my request, I'll give you half of my hospital stock." Arya thrusting a white map with a Medika hospital.

" In it contains my stock offering, one of you will just sign it." Aryan Exclamation.

Elena had already put on a furious face, Dominiaz cursed the man before her inwardly, while Gama looked at Arya calmly.

" Ar, I think the Zahra research plagiarism scandal involving the hospital you can realize that Zahra is not an ordinary figure." Gama is calm.

" It's for my daughter."

Dominiaz, who could not help himself anymore, leaned forward.

" It's ridiculous, and it's an insult."

" That's it! no need to talk any longer. We refused your request, Zahra, for us it's our second daughter." Elena *to the point*.

Dominiaz turned his head towards his mommy, raising both of his eyebrows inquiring."

" I guess..."

" No, thank you. You better take some time to fix *attitude*Mutia instead of bribing us." Sela Elena's.

" Or you transfer Mutia to another hospital, I have accepted the proposal of Mutia Wibowo's admission investigation. Bara, Hito, Mumtaz, have signed it my stay." Gama Imbuh.

Arya was stunned, she did not expect that this would be a serious matter.

" Why does this get so serious, I mean isn't it common for intership doctors to make mistakes?"

Gama sighed deeply, "Zahra, the older brother of Mumtaz, one of the higher-ups of RaHasiYa. The lover of Hito, someone who was already considered an older brother by Bara. Until here you must have understood your daughter was wrong to look for an opponent."

Arya was dumbfounded, she was cheated. Why didn't his men report such an important matter?.

" Because I still respect you, this meeting I consider non-existent."

\*\*\*\*

It's been three hours that Sandra waited for Aryan in the apartment lobby, after Alfaska's office she came straight here. His appearance was elegant as usual, but for those who knew about him would know that the woman was not okay.

And that is what is seen in the eyes of Aryan, he felt compassion for the woman who will soon be carrying his ex-wife.

For ten minutes he looked at Sandra who was looking at her phone as if she wanted to call someone, but he said no.

Outside her cauldron, her feet walked up to Sandra who was sitting on the sofa of the lobby waiting room.

Maybe it was the longing that brought her to Sandra.

Feeling that someone approached her, Sandra who initially lowered her head, their eyes met, time stopped. For a long time they looked at each other trying to convey all the feelings they had.

Their moment was cut with the presence of a beautiful 30-year-old young woman while carrying two plastics containing cooking ingredients.

" Dude,..." Call that woman named Ratna.

Both Aryan and Sandra looked at him.

" Daddy?" The two looked at Ratna asking.

" Eh, Mom, it's not like that..."

" Ratna brought the groceries, and tidied them up. You go straight to the office again." Aryan's word with the intonation of a superior to subordinates.

Embarrassed by Aryan's response to his reckless actions, Ratna rushed away from there.

" We'll talk somewhere else." Aryan grabbed Sandra's hand and grabbed it. Take them away from the apartment building where he lives.

Here they are now, he's cafe' the Rainbow, the exclusive cafe' across the apartment building.

" Pi, uh,..Mom, that,..." Sandra is confused to call Aryan what, considering their status will change soon.

" Call me as comfortable as you."

" Today Afa mengultimatum me, she forced me to work for the Atma Madina corp."

" It should have been. Maybe that's what I should do for you over the Aba tragedy, instead of letting you build your own business." Renung Aryan regretted his decision ten years ago.

" Pi, is it because she's you..."

" Don't shift the issue, you know why I'm suing your talaq." Cut Aryan firmly, not letting Sandra corner him.

" Why don't we talk again?"

" Our mediation has failed, this household is run with a different vision and mission, no matter how long we last, will run aground as well."

" Can't you change it? For us, for Afa." 

" When did I disappoint you the last time? Aryan asked trying to realize Sandra.

Sandra was silent her brain opened up their shared memory. He stared straight at Aryan's bead which was stared back at by the empress.

" Since marrying you, your happiness has been my priority, even beyond my own. I barely refused any of your requests. Maybe it was my fault that you became someone I didn't know."

" When do you think you last let us down? Me and Afa?"

" Even until this moment you disappoint us by trying to change Tia according to your obsession that Afa does not like, so without you realizing your actions will damage your own child's household. Again, you destroyed Afa."

Aryan answered his own question when he saw no sign Sandra would answer him.

" Am I that bad?"

" When you think of boutiques with Afa, what do you think of Afa with boutiques?"

Again, Sandra was silent. Not long ago they spoke but already a few times Aryan's speech made him checkmate.

" Think of you, when you live without your boutiques and when you live without me or Afa, which makes you suffer more!?" 

Sandra was bowed deeply, but Aryan's gaze still looked at Sandra as if she wanted to keep it in her brain memory.

" Sandra, I love you, my love is still the same as it was 25 years ago, when I first looked at you, but the hurt you inflicted on me was too deep for me to give up, forgive me!" He then approached Sandra's chair in front of him.

Aryan bent his body enough to kiss Sandra in the forehead, permeating all the memories they had carved together either before marriage or after marriage.

After that, slowly as if reluctant to end it, Aryan gently rubbed the cheek of Sandra who was crying holding the hand of Aryan who cupped her cheek.

" You're okay, yeah! My love will always be with you." After that Aryan left the cafe' with Sandra still trapped in her crying accompanied by rain stubs....
