Salwa walked down the road to the hospital. Earlier on the road his taxi ride arrived just broke down. Because of the distance that was near Salwa decided to walk.
Salwa walked with an empty look. There are too many wounds that he feels. There was too much suffering and burden to face alone.
"Salwa" came the cry of someone calling Salwa.
Salwa turned her head towards the source of the voice and instantly her eyes bulged and almost popped out to see who was in front of her at the moment.
"Baa... Father" said Salwa nervously
Salwa took a few steps back. Somehow the shadow of his father who likes to torture his mother and himself again flashed in his mind making Salwa afraid of it repeated again.
"Don't be afraid, son. Father has changed, I apologize for hurting you and your sister all this time" said Mr. Salwa approached Salwa
"Father really regretted Salwa" said the Father with glassy eyes
"I'm sorry, Mr. Salwa. Please" You beg while kneeling in front of Salwa
Salwa was shocked to see her father kneeling before her. Salwa's tears have been pouring profusely down her cheeks.
"Sir, don't be rich. Let's get up first"Salwa helped his father to wake up
Salwa invited her father to sit on a park bench close to the hospital.
"Salwa, I am truly sorry for all that you have done for you, your sister and your mother" said the Father with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Salwa just silently looked at her father. To be honest, Salwa was still afraid of her father. Salwa was afraid that her father would do the same to her as before, but saw her father cry and begged her sincerely. Salwa became devastated and felt sorry for her father.
"Pardon the Father who really wants to change and will not repeat all the mistakes you have made" said Salwa softly
"Thank you son" said Mr. Hugging and kissing Salwa
Salwa was deeply moved by her father's treatment. All this time his father never hugged or kissed with such tenderness as before.
Without them knowing someone was pointing their camera at them and taking pictures of them several times. The man looked at the picture and smiled with satisfaction at the result.
"Father sick? what pain is it sir?" ask Salwa worried
"Father is very sick, son. Can you give me money for your treatment?" ask the Father with a sad look
"How much money do you need?"ask Salwa
"50 million kiddo" said the Father managed to make Salwa shocked and shocked not play
"It's so big sir. Which Salwa might have that kind of money" Salwa said in disbelief
"It's not that you're married to a rich man, son" said the father
Salwa was shocked to hear her father's words. How did her father know about her marriage? All this time his father went to you where after bringing the money from the sale of his mother's house.
Salwa's father abandoned his two children on the day of his mother's death. Her father left after Salwa's mother's funeral. Even on that day Salwa and Syaida were immediately expelled by loan sharks who bought his mother's house. Even until now Salwa can not do tahlilan events for her late mother. Because Salwa has no cost and He can only support his sister and himself who sometimes still lack. And now his father comes and finds out his marriage to Satya.
"Where do you know that?" ask Salwa
"It doesn't matter where you know. What is clear is that now you want or do not give your father money for treatment"
"You don't want to really be an orphan because you can't help you and let you die" said the Father
Salwa just kept quiet thinking about all her father said. Salwa was eager to help her father. But he doesn't have that kind of money either. If she used her husband's money, Salwa was afraid that her husband would hate her even more.
"Come Son. I don't have much time left" said the father in tears
Salwa thought for a while before making the right decision.
"Alright Sir. Now you go to the bank with Salwa. Because Salwa does not bring cash" Salwa said
They took a taxi and headed to the bank to get the money their father needed. Actually Salwa was very afraid if she had to take that much money from the ATM given by her husband. But Salwa also could not bear to see his father who was in need of money for treatment.
A person was following them with a satisfied smile in his car. A sneaky smile continued to adorn her red lips. He was accompanied by a handsome man who was also the same was smiling cunningly towards the taxi in front of his car.
