Bound Mumtaz
157. Dear To Mumtaz

"Acckrrkh.." Sandra held Mumtaz's hand which choked her, trying to take off the grip on her neck, but it had no effect on Mumtaz.

Sandra's face was already reddened, her mouth was open trying to take in air, her breathing started to tighten.

As Mumtaz raised her hand upward, Sandra's body grew more convulsed as her legs moved further away from the floor.

Sandra paled indicating that the air supply in her body was thinning, but Mumtaz remained unmoved with hand checks that were getting tighter with an expressionless facial expression

Bara who saw it ran to save his aunt.

" Stop..." Alfaska said as Bara held the doorknob.

" Alfaska, for God's sake, she's gonna help your mother." Shouting Bara.

" You're right. She's my mother." Alfaska Parau.

His sight could not be separated from the screen in front of him. Sherly who was sitting next to Alfaska was already crying silently due to the freezing of her hands in her mouth.

" So I'm the only one who has the right to prevent the tragedy, and I'm not interested in doing so." Alfaska's cold voice contrasted with his tears streaming down his face.

Ibn who was sitting not far from the screen clenching both hands withstanding his emotional turmoil he was injured to see the helpless Alfaska.

The radiance from Alfaska's eyes was empty, hollow, there was no life in his net, his shoulders looked down as if they were holding a lot of weight.

Bara was stunned to hear Alfaska's sorrow-laden voice." Did something happen that I didn't know about?" Bara returned to where they sat together in the living room.

Ibnu replaced the video on the screen with a video of Sandra's actions in the hospital to Zahra.

Bara, Sherly, and Dista gasped for a moment, Bara's breath hunting after watching it.

" How did he become so evil." - Shimmily Bara.

Alfaska nodded, "The current that I feel is beyond disappointment, for the first time I feel shame towards Mumuy, towards all of them. Should I just die?" Alfaska groaned while beating his chest that hurt to see the pain in Mumtaz's eyes.

Daniel wanted to hug his friend who looked defeated, but the crying Dista in his arms could not be ignored.

BUGH...

Ibn alfaska hit his shoulder, then he crouched down in front of Alfaska carrying the haggard body into his arms. Let him cry, shed his emotions that had been held by his best friend.

There were no words spoken, only offering the togetherness that she was able to give Alfaska to all his sorrows.

Alfaska returned the hug very tightly, it lasted a long time with a cry that was as innocent as a child.

" Sorry, sorryfff..!!" Lirih Alfaska faintly.

" Hussshh, we love you, for Mumuy. How you are." Ibnu asserted.

Aryan stood glued to look at his crying son with blurry eyesight from tears, Teddy patting his shoulder as support.

While Hanna was already crying to see her four children who were grieving because of the circumstances.

" Why Sandra's a scary figure." Teddy embraces Hanna letting his wife wet his expensive shirt.

" She.pashh..." Lirih Sandra's.

" No, before your breath stops." Fizz Mumtaz.

Sandra's body begins to weaken, "yes...Alpha.ska." Sandra tried her luck in the middle of her breath.

Mumtaz's devil smile rose at the tip of her lips, "the shameful word finally came out of your dirty mouth to beg for your postponement."

There was no mercy from her voice, she was completely turned into a stranger in Sandra's eyes.

" A.a..." Zayin came out of his hiding place watching his older brother who was standing upright with Sandra's body floating under one of his brother's hands.

Mumtaz does not respond to it he still enjoys Sandra's painful reaction.

" A, let go. His death has not benefited us. The most important thing since now is to stay away from Alfa and Tia bang from him."

Mumtaz flinched, Sandra's moaning more interesting she heard than her sister's quiet persuasion.

" For a Sandra, nothing hurts more than the hatred of her proud son, and we get it." Zayin approached his brother.

Not long after Mumtaz lightly threw Sandra's body down right against the foot of the sofa made of the best quality teak, from her head out of blood.

Sandra breathes in as much air as possible. The two brothers stood watching him without any desire to help him.

" Now that you know I'm capable of it, once again you despise my family, I can't guarantee that there's someone who can save you from me." Mumtaz.

Ignoring the blood flowing from her head, Sandra laughed cynically at the two, especially Mumtaz.

He improved his position to sit up, even though his body was still weak.

" Don't be big mouth, after this you'll be ruined. I know you love Sicily so much, what if the video footage of you torturing me was leaked to Elena, does she still approve of you?" Threaten Sandra. 

His hand reached for his cell phone lying on the table, he contacted the head of household security.

" Send Mumtaz's video of the crime to Madame Pradapta." Declared.

After a discordant laugh filled the room, his heart was upset to see Mumtaz who had no reaction to his threat.

Tia who heard everything behind the door crying did not believe her mother-in-law's actions, she felt stupid all this time believing that Sandra loved her.

As fast as lightning he ran towards Sherly's house, he needed a friend to lean on, he felt so guilty.

" Since I met Alfaska, Daniel, and Bara a lot of things I've been missing from my life, losing one more important thing to me I've been used to feeling the pain, because to me they're still the most important." He said before leaving the house.

For Sandra who did not know Mumtaz his speech seemed ordinary, but for her family and friends very well know the words save suffering.

Alfaska suddenly ran towards the door blocked by Aryan who was standing in front of him.

" Where are you going?" Aryan asked softly.

" I have to go to Pradapta's residence, I can't let him be ruined for losing Sicily, Papi." 

Aryan patted the shoulder of his son who looked very miserable.

" At least change your clothes, you're cold." Aryan looked at the pale face of his son.

Alfaska took a look at the clothes that were drying out due to air conditioning, without saying he and his best friend went to Bara's room.

Not long before the four of them crossed the room by running. He stopped when he found Tia knocking at the door. 

He was glued to face with Tia who was teary-eyed.

" A.a..." Tia lunged at her husband's body hugging his waist tightly.

The sobs of his wife did not hinder his intentions, right now the most important thing was Mumtaz's life.

" I'm sorry, honey. But I have to leave soon. I love you." Alfaska peeked in Tia's forehead.

Diverting Tia's embrace to Dista who walked up to them when she heard the voice of her best friend. Dista greeted him warmly by shuffling both his hands.

" Ita, that,..."

" Go away, I'll take care of him, I'll call you cassie." Feeling that his wife was safe, after peeping the two bows he ran to the car where Daniel, Ibnu, and Bara had sat in it.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

" Mam, we'll eat first. Mamma. They must be flirting with the girls." Whine Sivia to Belinda who rubbed her daughter's long brown mane.

" It was raining like this they were flirting with."

" It is precisely rain gini bujang weathered that increasingly enterprising Mam."

" Where's Dad, do we eat first?" Ask Belinda to Diego.

Diego smiled a little because he was happy, his wife was not reluctant to call him affection.

" Uncle.eh..sorry." Sivia is still not used to calling the person she knows her grandfather's assistant the father.

Earlier this morning before breakfast, she was shocked when they told her what had happened to her mother.

Decades of the man he calls father turned out to be an evil man who had kidnapped his mother from her husband and family just because of his crazy love for his mother.

Eric took Belinda and her two children to Indonesia with the threat that she would help her children if they did not, lucky to arrive Indonesia Jose told directly by Alejandro about the actions of Eric immediately brought Belinda when Belinda just came out of the airport toilet and then hid it.

Jose cut off all communication with the Alejandro family according to Alejandro's orders, even Alejandro never knew where Belinda had lived all this time without bringing Raul and little Sivia who were still in Eric's power.

Eric, who lost track of Belinda after a year of fruitless searching, makes the scenario that Belinda died in the villa he accidentally burned.

The charred body of a woman to two young children, Eric, said it was the body of their mother who had been separated since their arrival in Indonesia.

Raul, then 10, believes that when he was 16, he saw documents about the fire in the villa in Eric's document cabinet in his study.

In the document it is written that the woman who died was not a belinda but one of the servants of the villa.

Shock, definitely. Raul was confused. He stole the documents, secretly collecting the chronology information of the villa fire. Again he found out the astonishing facts of the villa guard back then.

That there had never been a female bule who settled in the villa, the villa had not been visited for a long time, during the fire there was only one maid who was suddenly assigned to clean the villa because Eric was staying.

With the help of his classmate, Dominiaz, Raul re-investigates Belinda's whereabouts.

Until five years ago he finally found the whereabouts of belinda, but he was afraid to meet her. Afraid that Eric knew of the whereabouts of his mother so that his efforts would be in vain.

Luckily, RaHasiYa helped free the belinda and hide it, and finally they are now gathered.

" Dad..." Sivia's Doubts.

" Look off baby. Call papa with whatever makes you comfortable." Said Diego softly.

Sivia nodded, "I just forgot that uncle is my father, I'm sorry." Harry, sitting next to her, stroked her lover's back to calm her down.

" Before the tragedy, you were very clingy with your father." Belinda.

" Really?" Sivia's eyes sparkled.

" Yes, until my mom gets jealous."

" Hahahaha, time anyway. Did ya?" Sivia Canda.

" It's great, neng." Raul took a seat next to Harry.

" Last long."

"  I'm sorry, we looked at Navarro first, he was conscious" replied Rodrigo who was sitting next to Belinda.

" Hello mam. Always beautiful as my shadow all along." He said while looking at Belinda.

" Mom, that's my word." Chirping Raul.

Sivia's eyeballs twisting lazily. Trust the two heirs of the mafia since dawn scramble for their beloved mama.

Until his gaze focused on the woman standing beside the lake under the torrential rain.

" Sister, it's Zahra. What's he doing standing next to the lake?" Sivia's remarks made their attention to the figure who began to step closer to the lake.

" He's not going down to the lake, is he!?" Sivia's snuffled scream.

He went to catch up with the zahra that Raul immediately prevented.

" Let brother." Raul immediately darted out of the restaurant followed by Rodrigo because he saw Zahra who was already in the lake water.

" Zahra, professor." Raul shouted while running towards him hoping Zahra chimed in, but it didn't work. 

Zahra noticed his hearing from the hysterical screams of Sivia calling out his name inviting other visitors to see them.

Zahra pulled back her hand that Raul was holding back, her martial ability making it difficult for Raul to pull Zahra out of the cold water. Zahra continued to rebel against Raul's movements.

" Fuck." Raul does not stop cursing because he almost lost to Zahra's resistance.

But help from Rodrigo eventually stopped the resistance. The two big hands holding his hands behind his back stopped his movements as he was about to lash out a punch at Raul.

" Go, you go. Let me die." Racau Zahra's.

Raul and Rodrigo gasped at the tone of despair.

" Well, after I report to Mumtaz first." Raul said calmly.

" No, don't tell him I'm here."

" Then Hito?'

" Tidaakkk, not him. Please." Zahra was crying for the whole time today.

" Then you killed us in their hands." Rodrigo's whisper in Zahra's ear.

" Do you have the heart to separate the newly assembled families?" 

While continuing to invite conversation without realizing by Zahra Rodrigo pushed him to the edge of the lake.

Upon arriving at the edge, Zahra immediately sat down, "I can't marry her, even though I love her so much." Zahra is currently pouring out her grief.

" Married to me then." Said Raul.

Zahra laughed blandly." Even I had no intention of getting married, I was so disgusting."

" Have you shown that disgusting thing to Hito?" Zahra.

" Then you're petty, I wasn't close to her even when I was engaged to Sivia. But when he's with you, I can see he loves you. There is a gentle and proud light that he always emits for you, only you." said Raul softly.

The words warmed Zahra's heart.

" I don't know what makes you think you're disgusting, but if there's a woman like you that's a thousand times uglier than you are now, I'm still willing to marry her." Raul looks serious.

I don't know why Zahra now feels light "does she?" Raul nodded.

" If you don't believe me, ask him, he's a tough guy to fall in love with, but I know he's attracted to you." Show it to Rodrigo.

"Heh, Raul Gonzalez. The Casanova."

Raul grinned sumringah" You know me? That's a pride."

" No, but one of my doctor's friends is your ex. You left her when you were already fighting her."

Zahra suddenly stood up, then kicked Raul.

" Oh, uh..." 

" And there's no way I'm marrying a mobster like him." Rodrigo raised both his eyebrows amused .

" you know about us?" Ask Rodrigo.

" It was Ibn who told me all about you. I'm so glad you met your beautiful mother. Love her." He said shahdu in the last sentence his eyes came back crying. She misses her mother.

" MAMAAAA,...Ala kangen kaliaannn.. Ala needs you guys.huhuhu..."

Raul and Rodrigo watch him in silence, they let Zahra scream as much as he ignored the attention of the other visitors.

The dark sky with water continued to fall as if understanding of Zahra's heart wound, someone who always looked calm and dignified was also a woman who had a weak side.

Sivia's steps carrying umbrellas for them came to a halt in the middle of the road, her ripples turned mellow, she knew it was lonely, needed an old man figure but nowhere.

" Sirah,..." Sluggishly.

Zahra turned around, facing the two men who were still loyal to her.

" How should I do?"

" Come to her show her your disgusting side, if she refuses to come to me, that very second I'll marry you." Raul answered with a serious mimic.

" You're not a Muslim."

" I'm an atheist, and I can convert." Reply Raul.

" But you're Casanova, my former friend. No, thank you."

" Yes, accept fate." Said relaxed.

" What about me?" Ask Rodrigo.

" A mafia?"

" Can change profession. Fyi, I'm also a computer lecturer there in Mexico."

" It's not a Muslim."

" I'm an atheist, but for your sake I'm willing to convert." Rodrigo's calm rapture shakes Zahra's turmoil.

" But I love Hito." Her speech was lethargic.

" We're willing to be second tier if he takes you off." Rodrigo said firmly.

Zahra smiled gently, although her neutrality still radiated sadness.

" Thank you, I'll ask Hito." Zahra passed from there leaving the two gallant men.

" So this is what it's like to be an impingement, not really good." Raul muttered.

" Eating stops toying with women, btw. Your phone fell." Rodrigo returns to the restaurant, embracing the pensive Sivia there.

Raul picks up his expensive cell phone which is dead. Want to curse, he refused. Feel not sincere to help the brother of the person who contributed to help his mother.

\*\*\*\*\*

Four young men were now sitting on the floor of the living room in front of Elena who was sitting on a long sofa with Sicily, he said, and Gama is still holding his cell phone after seeing footage of Sandra in the hospital and Mumtaz's actions at Sandra's residence that left them shaken.

Either the video which surprised them more, but seeing the four young men who he thought were great in front of him Elena was filled.

Dominiaz stood in the doorway watching them.

Alfaska sat at the very front of the four. " Aunty, I know Aunt was disappointed in him, but Mumtaz isn't a bad guy." His issue.

" Mumtaz loved Sicily dearly, he would suffer if Aunt separated them." Daniel's Kimpal.

Elena was still silent, trying to digest what was happening now.

" Aunty, don't doubt her morals, Mumtaz is best for your beloved daughter." Ibnu.

" As an Italian who understands self-esteem, I believe Aunt understood Mumtaz's actions. Please don't hate it." Bara also lowered his head along with the others.

" I beg you, Auntie. Don't hurt him, it's all my fault, ask me anything, all mine will I hand over as long as Auntie doesn't hurt him by separating them." Alfaska prostrated himself at Elena's feet hoping for Elena's forgiveness.

The Sicilian sitting in the middle of his parents looked at the mumtaz face on his mother's cell phone. Her crying had not stopped since she watched the video.

His heart was so painful to see the sadness of his lover, wanted him to go and find where his lover was now, but could not yet.

The four young men who had been considered her brother broke through the door of the house and headed straight to the living room where Elena was discussing with Gama and herself regarding the video sent from Sandra.

Ibnu immediately handed them the video that happened in the hospital. They even sat down perfectly on the floor.

Gama looked at Elena before saying, "to me Mumtaz is still a good man, and still the best son-in-law candidate."

As soon as Sicily clasped her father's hand, she channeled her gratitude for her father's trust in the man of her choice.

Elena's facing Sicily," Lia, baby. Do you accept this kind of emotional Mumtaz?" Elena asked gently.

With a resolute Sicilian nod strongly," I've seen it more chaotic than this, mommy. But she never hurt me, she chose to walk away from me instead of hurting me even though she would eventually apologize to me for ignoring me. She has so much respect for me, she's still the most comfortable leaning place after you." Uncover Sicily.

Elena moved from the sofa towards the four companions, she lifted up Alfaska's body that was still prostrating.

Elena wiped off Alfaska's tears that were still continuing to descend." Thank you so much for loving her, of course mommy was surprised by the video submission from Madina Atma, but it did not change my affection for her. Mommy's sure there's a reason behind that, and after finding out, mommy's proud of her."

The four companions were shocked at Elena's words, they looked at her in disbelief.

" Nan... Auntie..." Alfaska's hoarse voice moved Elena's heart.

" Your voice is up, have you been crying all day?" Like a toddler Alfaska nodded.

He hit Elena, hugged her tightly, "thank you. I'll make sure your daughter's happy with him." His words were muffled in his arms.

Elena smiled, returning the embrace of the lonely body.

Dominiaz who witnessed the moving event let out a heavy sigh, he turned his body out of the room.

He did not wonder why Mumtaz who is an ordinary person can get a friend of a loyal conglomerate, when helping him first from a car accident, Mumtaz did not think about his safety to get him out of a vehicle that had issued a fire.

His views collided with the Birawa family, Hartadraja, Argadinata, Gurawa, Santoso, Alatas, even Husain was here.

" Are you here for Mumtaz?"

" Yes." Fatio's grandfather represented them.

Dominiaz smiled gently, "they're in the living room, sorry I can't join still have to help Hito find Zahra."

" Of course, we won't mind." Aryan.

The goddess faces Dominiaz, "please find him, persuade him to marry Hito, not you." Pinta sincere Goddess

Dominiaz chuckled, "I don't promise, Tan. What if Zahra's strong enough not to be with Hito!"? Clumsily.

The goddess slapped Dominiaz's shoulder, "just left him." Chirp Julia.

" I have to go, before Julia's big fangs go all out."indooroh Dominiaz, she ran off from Julia's rampage.

" Kya..Ibn.. wake up..." Elena's screeches made everything rush towards the living room.

There they saw Ibn fainting on Daniel's lap looking at him anxiously...
