Bound Mumtaz
chapter 76. Returning.

Since this plagiarism case sticking out, and received media attention the hospital atmosphere was tense, tense, because many experts from knowledge and medical organizations pay attention to the research trials of skin transplant burns that are recognized by two names, namely Zahra and Ratih.

Post-operative patients are under close supervision for 24 hours, every hour a thorough check.

" Dok, team B's patient is bleeding, his blood pressure is high" the nurse reported to the expert team.

After experts including two competitors conduct a thorough examination before drawing conclusions, which must perform re-operation.

The operation was led by prof. Jensen, and Zahra, because the patient was a patient from the Atma Madina hospital, and Zahra had expected this to happen, then the operation could be resolved.

The operation this time received direct supervision other than the hospital, and the university was also attended by representatives from IDI, and also LIPI.

They observed it from a glass-walled room located on the second floor of the operating room that can see the operation process directly.

Animal skin transplantation for humans is not the first time but has been done only on the surface skin (epidermis) only and is temporary. This time Zahra uses animal skin to the full, and to the permanent.

Throughout the operation, Ratih observed it carefully, although reluctant to admit, but he must be fair if Zahra is indeed a great researcher despite his young age. Now he understood why the experts were scrambling to cooperate with him.

After nine hours of surgery and a two-hour break, it is time for an operational accountability interview.

" Doctor Zahra can you diagnose what's going on with team B patients?" Say one expert doctor, and also a research supervisor.

" The effect is caused by the patient experiencing rejection of the newly planted skin, this triggers a massive reaction in organs such as the kidneys, and the heart.

" Doctor Ratih, why can the patient refuse this transplant?" Ask another expert.

Ratih was silent, Surely he was confused about what to answer. Skin transplantation is not his expertise, the surgical process he did only based on his dissertation which was taken from the writing of every report of Zahra research activities first. Even now the writing material he took from Zahra's laptop that he stored on his computer was lost somewhere, in fact he did not even have any experience at all related to skin medical cases.

" You claim this research is yours, but this simple thing alone you can't answer." Prof. Jensen.

" What do you think, doctor Zahra?" Ask an expert from LIPI.

" The rejection occurs because some new skin tissue cells are dead, plus there is no adjustment of interaction between new skin cells with the recipient's skin cells through the blood.

Ratih's body instantly stiffened, the shadow of his future career darkened.

At 21.30 WIB Zahra walked gontai to the hospital lobby due to fatigue, although his plagiarism case was completed with the decision that the research was his, and Ratih was stripped of his Doctoral degree by the university, even his license was revoked on the basis of malpractice.

Hito approached Zahra who was standing waiting for an invitation. Standing next to him while looking at him full of longing.

" Not here yet!?" Hito opened his voice after five minutes watching Zahra who was looking down while closing her eyes.

Lifting up, and turning toward Hito the head slightly Zahra shook her head.

" I'm taking you home, it's been a really good night." When he answered his phone rang

.kring...!!!

" Hello, where are you?" Zahra answered the phone call from Mumtaz

" *Sorry, brother, Aa can not pick up when it is already otw, but this wants the daughter back to the phone from Ibn Jimmy angry with Mami*."

" WHAT? why didn't you tell me from earlier, ah." Zahra hung up the phone in annoyance.

Hito was still watching Zahra with all the changes in her expression.

" Aren't you getting picked up?" Again, Zahra replied with a body move, nodding reluctantly to open her voice.

" I'm interrupting, no discussion. Ara!" Hito took Zahra's hand, and held her.

" Kak Hito." From behind Zivara ran after Hito who was walking towards his car.

" All my anthers go home." Zivara is not aware of Zahra's whereabouts.

" When do I need to get you home? Take care of your attitude I'm including your boss, do you think it's appropriate if the employee asks his boss to drive home?" Hito asked sharply with an expression of dislike, and left Zivara still standing in place.

Zivara was stunned by the piercing words from Hito, and was more surprised to see Zahra watching him flatly.

" You anter him, I'm not going home. I'm going to Daniel's house."

" I'm anther wherever you want."

" No pantes loh an employee escorted his boss home!" Syndic Zahra.

Hito chuckled, looking back as Zahra walked behind him like she was being dragged around.

" Hehehehe." Zahra sneers.

After Hito's car disappeared from his presence Zivara turned her head to his left not far from him stood Farhan who observed him.

Farhan gawked and continued his steps to his car parked next to Hito's car, leaving the hospital area without offering Zivara a ride.

Zivara grimaces, farhan's abandonment was far more painful than Hito's rejection that Zivara did not realize was his eyes had already taken out a clear bulb that fell touching the back of his hand that was squeezing the outside of his chest due to extreme pain.

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

Friends and parents chatted in memory of Aida. They fell silent as Sandra entered the room and sat next to Bara who was sitting on a single sofa in the Birawa family room

Sandra looked at her grudging niece who was sitting in submission with a tired appearance.

Since Aryan resigned from the management of the Atma Madina corp, automatically only he held control of the kingdom of Atma Madina.

" Bar, what does Mama Aida mean to you?" Asked Mami Sandra, all pairs of eyes looked at Sandra further to Bara.

Silent for a moment, Bara stared straight at Sandra's irises, "mother, bodyguard, helper, and sadistic punisher." Keveh at the end of the sentence.

" Ma, Mi, if there's no Mama Aida maybe you've seen a tomb that says my name because of an overdose."

Except for Ibn, and Daniel everyone gasped in surprise.

" I felt so guilty about the trauma experienced by Daniel and Jimmy, to get rid of that feeling I got involved in a mismanagement that ended up in a wild adult nightclub that served drugs as one of his menus." Lirih Bara rubbed the teardrops that began to fall.

" Lo inget Nu, Lo, Mumtaz and mama barged in the night I tried Shabu and pills?" Said Bara staring at Ibnu, Ibn nodded with a smile considering that made him nauseous because he had to see a woman who was striptease.

"The hijab-wearing, reckless mom broke into the club and beat up everyone at the table with me, even some of them broke the club atmosphere into a rowdy he threatened back people who threatened to report him. Tomorrow I was soaked in ice water in a small bathtub for two hours while playing murattal Yasin's letter, and I was forbidden to carry pocket money for two months mama took all my cards. Sadistic is not." Bara's still chuckling.

" But that's what makes me tick, doesn't even dare to touch drugs. Really bad luck." Bara chuckled amusedly reminiscing back then.

Bara looked at Sandra, "at that time I had no mother who would rebuke me, scold me, beat me unless she was too heartless to hit me, but every wound I get is always he who treats it even though by pressing hard while crying and apologizing." Bara chuckles again amusedly to remember his memories

Sherly hugs Bara," I'm sorry, mama, you don't have a hard time." Lirih Sheryl.

Bara shook his head, "no, mama's healed a miracle for me and Ita." Hugged my whole body.

" Why aren't you Mama Aida's son? Sandra asked still curious.

Bara unraveled his embrace followed by a sharp delicacy to Daniel who chuckled casually," forbidden Alfa, and Daniel. They're jealous."

Hanna let out a small laugh," Daniel was the same Alpha if he saw Bara coming with a wound must have been sniffing sharply while his mouth was talking about the Bara caper."

" You fight a lot?" Sherly's sad question rubbed the son's face.

" The exact same thing." Rizal said casually, sherly was shocked.

" Bang, um,..."

" I have to be strong, ma. The afternoon they were kidnapped I was there, trying to chase after the kidnappers' car, when I got in their car and wanted to save them both, and I got thrown out of the car, they kicked me so easily." The sound of Bara swallowing.

" Baar continued to chase after the car even though he was injured, until the car stopped in a quiet place, and ganged Bara until it was battered."

" Lo see?" Bara glanced at Daniel.

Daniel nodded, "I'm the same Jimmy tried to fight, but yeah.still a leak so failed." Her speech was lethargic.

" I thought I was going to die, one of them had a knife, but help came in the form of Mumtaz and Ibnu, they helped me even chase the car" Bara continued

" I was the same time Mumuy skipped school for a trip, we went home to choose the random road. The three of us goyor ala eggplant make your motor to chase it kidnap." Tymphal Ibn.

"  If we realize that we are in the middle of the forest, they both are the ones who nyari you guys even though it is already malem. Because I got hurt I was pinned down in the house around there." Bara was still staring at Daniel who was starting to bow his head inside.

" I ran away like a coward, I left Jimmy with those assholes." Daniel said, wiping away the tears that were beginning to appear.

" It's the right decision if you don't stop regretting yourself, but why is there only Rudi with Rafael doang?" Ask Ibnu diverts.

" The others report to the boss, there is no signal."

" Did you hear who's their boss?" Asked Yuda, Daniel shook his head weakly.

" If your story is so moving, why is it so complicated now?" Said Radit.

The parents were silent to let the chatter continue to flow.

The ultimatum that Mumtaz threw with a calm gesture but alert and flat intonation without emotion can damage Jimmy's emotional defense.

Another look on Tia's crying face sobbed behind Mumtaz's body as she squeezed through Mumtaz's shirt, and refused to look at him.

" Aarrrrgghh. Shit, my life is just bad luck!" Shouted Jimmy in his bedroom that had been messy because all the objects were damaged and broken.

Slowly he looked at himself, "now I ask, why do you hate your family so much?"

Everyone was shocked by Jimmy's arrival.

Sandra looked down at her son, and looking down in embarrassment, she realized the envy that was attacking her was so petty.

" Because you always loved Mama Aida more than Mami" she said.

Jimmy tensely stared at the ridiculous reason, he rubbed his face rough.

" O God, just because my envy is willing to ruin my life? How many times have I told you I'd go home if you were willing to cook me a meal, I'm serious about that. It was not just noodle food, but a form of affection and care for my mother compared to the boutiques, but my own mother who could not do it. Why should I replace my mom who was always there for me with my mom? Remember a mother is not enough to just give birth, but she takes care of, loves, and takes care of her child. At least a mother like that is all I need." Jimmy vented all his junk.

" Since the abduction, my mother stopped working and devoted herself to being a good mother to Daniel, but I, I instead lost a mother on the basis that you would not dissolve in your grief."

" But mami works for you, Fa." bela Mami

" Bullshit, when it comes to money, money from papi is enough for me, try to take the time to do I ever withdraw funds from the card you gave me? NO, MI. NO!!! Even the last time I used that papi money was four years ago, after the products I made were in the interest of developed countries I was already economically established. You must not know about that little thing." Sarcastic Jimmy.

" Why doesn't Mama die, why should Mama? what I need is mama not mama." His shouting.

Everyone gasped in shock at Jimmy's swearing, Sandra squeezed her chest the remark was so heartbreaking, as a mother she felt a failure .

BUGH!! BUGH!!!

a loud punch struck Jimmy's face, and stomach, as Mumtaz held the collar of the shirt after one blow was released, then the next blow was launched.

Mumtaz has been at Birawa's house since Jimmy protested to Mami.

Jimmy who was not ready for the surprise attack staggered and only accepted, although he later resisted Mumtaz's attack, and there was a great fight between the two friends.

Two experts some martial arts wrestle tirelessly after 10 minutes, in fact Mumtaz can paralyze Jimmy easily, but he is reluctant to let Jimmy off in a short time after his rant to Mami.

The mothers, Ayunda, and Dista screamed in fear and panic, while the fathers and friends just watched.

" Take Lo's words." Bentak Mumtaz's.

Reluctant to grant his best friend's request, Jimmy prefers to continue the fight.

" TANG.." cried Mumtaz clutching Jimmy's shirt collar.

" why? You think I love so much as me, DON'T!!. Because he told Lo to fuck Lo, you don't know those words hurt me. In fact I'd rather he'd have nothing than to lose you." Jimmy returned the snaps.

" It's easy lambe Lo said that, because Lo doesn't know how it feels like Lo's parents DIED. It took me months for my family to reorganize after my father's death, you think how long it took us after my mom?" Mumtaz snapped Jimmy's shirt collar.

" Mommy wouldn't die if Madina Atma never planned this stupid wedding. He killed Mama." Hardik Jimmy, point at Mami.

" Heh, funny." Zayin snorted, he entered the room staring at Jimmy sharply still in his all-black clothes.

" Have any goodness how much Lo to my family can say that? You know what your last mama said about you before that Aloya acted!?" Zayin raised both eyebrows challenging Jimmy.

Zayin turned her body around to face Jimmy, "Mommy, Mama's best friend, Mama's dear Mami. Do you still remember when Aa left us because of a girl? We need money again, and he left us only mama who can give work to mama. A favor that doesn't make us beggars."

Sandra sobbed, Zayin and Mumtaz looked at Sandra full of regret.

" Of course you offer help to us, in the form of money that makes you hesitate to refuse it because it is feared to eliminate sincerity between us." continued Mumtaz

" Lo, who spent more of her life with Mama should have Lo know how good Mama is, we are her biological children are forbidden to hate Mami. One ugliness do not let out the goodness of people, it's the last advice of Mama." Zayin said, in his voice implied a bitter vibration.

" We know what it's like to lose a parent, so stifling, that we don't feel it at least not now." Mumtaz breathed a heavy sigh.

Mumtaz approached Jimmy to stand right in front of his face "With Lo running away, the marriage was over, Mama died it was fate, if Lo did find her scapegoat the Aloya fellasnya. So if Lo wants revenge vent to Aloya, DARE NOT LO!" A word that holds a thousand meanings. Mumtaz turned her body to face her.

"Bun, want to eat two weeks I haven't eaten!" Mumtaz spoke up, and left the room for the dining room.

Even though he hugged Jimmy a long time ago," we're still family!." His whisper.

Jimmy returned Mumtaz's embrace tightly, and nodded.

Zayin came to the parents kissing their hands, when in front of the mother, "Bun, there is no food, Ayin laper. The king called Ayin when Ayin wanted to stop by the warteg so it failed." Said Zayin glaring resentfully at the King who was grinning the horse.

Mother chuckles amusedly." Let's have dinner, you guys stay here, right!?" Mother's speech.

" Peace, I'm afraid to see them fight." The king raised two of his fingers to form the V sign.

"Yu, Ta, why is Lo's face so swollen, your pretty face so ugly it becomes." Zayin comments before leaving the room, the girls sneered at Zayin who was cheeked by him.

But he hugged Jimmy tightly to support him.

Zahra and Hito who were standing in the living room next to the family room heard the words of his younger siblings lowered their mouths shut holding his crying voice, Hito stared at his mistress wanting him to hug Zahra, but it could not be as a result only able to hold tightly Zahra's hand which was immediately gripped by Zahra.

After quiet he entered the living room, and approached Jimmy who was still sculpting.

He patted Jimmy's shoulder which immediately jumped in shock, "I also don't like to nyokap Lo, but the oath of parents that are difficult to face is still much better than no parents. It's not good to be orphaned, so BE PATIENT!" They're a farm reward for Lo." Zahra hugged Jimmy.

Shame at once moved that's what Jimmy felt.

Right now in the remaining rooms are Daniel, Bara, Jimmy, Mami, and Papi. No one starts talking until the papi says,

For the first time since his return, Jimmy stared at his mother.

" Mom, um,..." Sandra straightened her head back at Jimmy's gaze. 

" I'm your son for that I don't have a choice, but it's too late for Mami to arrange for me including who I'm married to. Whether you accept it or not the fact that I'm married, Tia is the person I love and I need." said Jimmy.

Jimmy approached the mother who was sitting on a single sofa, and crouched down in front of him, clasping Mami's hands together.

Staring deeply into Mami's black netra," pardon what Afa said earlier, sorry! Please forgive Afa!!" In the middle of Isak her tears kissed Mami's hands.

Mami bit her lower lip in the middle of her sobs while shaking her head, "pardon your mother who hurt Afa too." He kissed both hands of Aba.

Afa shook her head," Mami sorryin Afa right!"

Mami nods her head," sure, baby. Sorry mommy too, made your mom die! Hiks..hu..hiks..." Mommy's cry broke because she could not hold back her emotions anymore.

Jimmy straightened his body by resting both knees hugging the entire body of Mama who was still sobbing. 

Daniel, Bara, and Papi could only silently endure the taste of haru.

After she calmed down, Mami broke down a hug, looking at Daniel who had been silently looking down.

" Ariel, uh,..." Calling mami raucous, Daniel raised his head to look at Mami.

" Thank you for being a brother to Afa."

" No problem Mi, fate wants what else. If not Aniel no one would want, Afa would have love to die with Aniel." Reply Daniel narcissistic.

BUCK!!!

Daniel's head was pushed back by a hard throw of a sofa cushion.

" Origin Lo know yes my Niel horse is still friends with Lo because of Lo who *sadboy*, if not me who is the friend you who want to save Lo from the theater of the chillies, HAH!" jimmy's emotions are running high, he's flanking Daniel's head in his arms.

" What the hell, there ain't no I'm so." Daniel clapped Jimmy's hand.

" You've forgotten the case of the Beautiful, if not me who neror he money Lo will not return."

" Iye.iye.ah it's mulu that's discussed, besides that money also does not enter my pocket, but you eat." Daniel shakes his body away as soon as he breaks free from Jimmy, and kicks Jimmy's ass pissed.

" Flame Lo ketek. You haven't had a shower in three days." Dumel Daniel left the room.

" aaa...Aa Aniel wait akoh." Jimmy runs a gimmick after Daniel who tightens his footsteps, followed by Bara who sighs heavily.

Stay alone just Sandra and Aryan who since this wedding drama is not reprimanded, and has separated the room.

"Pi, uh,..."

" I'm glad you've understood Afa despite having to sacrifice one life for your selfishness." Sela Aryan left the room, joining the others in the dining room.

Sandra let out a tired sigh, she tightened the knots of her two hands...
