Zidan was still loyal to be next to Nandita who continued to invite him noisily. This man was even eager to deal with Nandita's anger. I don't know, Zidan's just freaking out. Nandita is not only stupid, but also innocent. Very-very innocent. Scared, but pretended to fight.
"Don't look at me like that!" pinta Nandita warned. Stare furiously at Zidan.
"Don't look like that, how? My eyes are like this!" answer Zidan's origin. The soul of this man's prank looks instantly thrashed. According to him, the more upset Nandita was, the more fun she was for him. Zidan was no longer afraid to press Nandita. Because, he felt he had an ace to scare this woman.
"Based on the bad guy!" nandita grumbled while glancing furiously at Zidan. In his heart he wanted so badly to scratch this man. So that he immediately goes from his life, if possible forever and do not come again in front of him.
"I was evil first, Ma'am. Cook is still being revealed again. I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry, yeah!" pinta Zidan is soft.
Unfortunately, Nandita did not consider the apology as a sincere apology from the heart. Nandita thinks Zidan is a fraud.
"Silence, I'm sorry, ma'am. You can be angry with me. Hit me too. The important thing is, Ma'am, I'm sorry. Yep!" pinta Zidan is serious.
Nandita did not answer, but she cried without a sound. Only his lips were trembling. How can I get angry? How can I hit? Just look at Zidan he's scared.
"I know, Mommy's scared of me. Sorry if I hurt you at that time. Sorry if I ruined your future. I'm sorry if I ruined your dreams. Sorry if I.... " Zidan did not continue his words. Because, without him expecting Raka and also a middle-aged woman entered this room. This surprised Zidan. Not only Zidan, but also for Raka and Kartika himself.
Zidan's face was very similar to Raka's. Directly convince Kartika that this is the man who did that to Nandita. Not only that, Kartika also believes that this man is Raka's real father. Pantesan Nandita is terrified.
Zidan was still stunned, as was Kartika. Not with Raka. This handsome boy smiled instead, seeing that Zidan was here.
"O-Om, is Om here?" asked Raka directly reached out to Zidan. Invite the man he knew to be the important person who gave him this gift of time. Zidan returned the hand.
"Yes, there's work. So stop by Raka's place. He forgot that Raka was going to Bali again. Eh when entering the house see Raka's mother passed out, so Om bring her here deh, " replied Zidan lying. While Kartika and Nandita are silent, even though they actually curse at the answer given by Zidan.
"Oh, so. Thank you very much, Om, fortunately Om dateng. If not, how is the fate of the mother," replied Raka with a smile sumringanya.
"Together, Raka. Oh, how come home? Isn't the vacation still two days away?" ask Zidan suspiciously.
"Raka ask to go home first Om. Raka thought of the mother and it turns out, mother emang again sick. Once again thanks Om, already dalamelaminnya Raka," replied Raka innocent.
"Together, Deck." Zidan smiled, even though he was wrong. Especially now Kartika looked at him sharply. If there were no Raka here, maybe Zidan would have bowed his knees to the middle-aged woman. Knee-bent begging for mercy on Kartika. Because they bear the burden of unnecessary responsibility. And that's because of him.
"Oia, Um. Kenalin Om is the master of Raka," said Raka while holding Zidan's hand and taking him to approach Kartika. Zidan actually already knew who the woman was, only it was impossible for him to bring out what he knew, it felt less ethical.
Zidan extended his hand. Kartika returned the hand and they shook hands. Actually Kartika lazy, only he did not want to disappoint the grandson. Moreover, Raka considers Zidan is an important person in his life.
"Zidan, Auntie" said Zidan, introducing himself.
"Kartika, Nandita's mother and Raka's daughter's eyes!" kartika replied, sounding a little unfriendly. More precisely angry at Zidan. It's just that Kartika's anger looks more elegant.
"Ready, Auntie," Zidan replied gently.
Kartika smiled, because she understood the meaning of the answer that Zidan gave by calling the word 'ready'. Kartika believes that the word means that Zidan is ready to account for his actions.
"After this I want to talk to you, four eyes," said Kartika lirih, almost inaudible but Zidan can capture the meaning of the speech.
"Ready, Tan!" zidan replied firmly. Kartika smiled briefly. He then leaves Zidan and approaches Nandita.
Kartika immediately hugged Nandita, because she knew that her daughter must be scared. Must be depressed to see the man who has ruined his future.
"We are afraid, Mom," whispered Nandita quietly, so that Raka did not realize what she was going through and felt when she met Zidan.
"Mom knows, honey. You are strong yes, let me talk to him later," said Kartika promised. There was a little relief hearing every line this woman said. I don't know, Nandita was just calm. Kartika is a mother who really understands and understands the condition and what Nandita feels.
Nandita just lowered her head and squeezed the blanket that covered her body. His body was no longer shivering like before Kartika and Raka came. But still, he still could not believe in Zidan. Can't believe Zidan won't do that to her again. Nandita was just afraid of that.
Kartika can't force Nandita to accept her way of thinking. But Kartika hopes that Nandita can defeat her fear. Then he fought back to get his pride. So that it is not easy to be stepped on with anyone.
Seeing the princess's still-frightened attitude. Kartika finally decided to speak with Zidan.
"Sorry, Father. Can we talk!" kartika said to Zidan who is currently joking with Raka.
"Can, Tan. Wait a minute, Raka. Om chat first with Raka," said Zidan intended to say goodbye with Raka. Raka did not forbid. He also accepted the request.
Shortly after, Zidan and Kartika leave the room. They chose the hospital garden to talk about this sensitive issue.
On a bench in the hospital, Kartika sat down, Zidan followed. Then, without wasting any more time, Kartika also began to open her voice.
"Are you that guy?" ask Kartika directly on the subject they face.
"Yes, Tan. That's me" Zidan replied honestly.
Kartika was silent for a moment, then continued her words. "Do you know if the crime you committed is unforgivable?" Kartika glanced at Zidan who looked nervous.
"Know, Tan. I'm sorry," Zidan replied.
Kartika smiled cynically, but was also proud of Zidan for admitting his mistake.
"May I know why you did that to my daughter? Were you drunk then?" kartika Cecar.
"No, Tan. I was not drunk at the time. I was conscious, but I was angry and in a state of resentment" replied Zidan, again honest because he did not want to cover anything now. Zidan hopes that this honesty can be accepted by Kartika. The problem of how Kartika decides to forgive or not is a later affair. What is clear at this time is that Zidan only intends to be honest. That'sthat's all.
"You have a grudge against Nandita? Is Nandita wrong with you?" added Kartika, while staring at Zidan who looks starting to rattle.
"Sorry Tan, if my honesty hurts a little. I used to have a sister. He-she...." Zidan's voice sounded weak at the end and of course this presented a question in Kartika's heart.
"Yes, your sister why? Her love was rejected by Nandita, and then you were hurt?" Kartika doesn't understand. Revenge, sister, what does it have to do with Nandita.
"No, Tan. My sister is female. He died by suicide after getting sexual harassment from someone. Then I want revenge on that bastard's family. I asked my men to kidnap the man's sister, Tan. But they were wrong target. They took Nandita instead, not the girl who should have accepted my anger" Zidan replied. Again this man was sluggish.
Now Kartika understands that the problem that happened to Zidan and Nandita is a miscalculation. However, Kartika can no longer see from the side of the miscalculation. But more on what Nandita felt all along.
"I don't know if you're honest or not. But I hope you won't repeat the same mistake. You saw for yourself how Nandita suffered all this time." Kartika looked into Zidan's eyes and the man simply resigned. Waiting for the punishment ready to stop him.
"I'm ready to accept any punishment, Tan. Provided I can get an apology from Nandita and Raka. Provided I can take care and take responsibility for them, from now on!" answer Zidan sure.
Kartika smiled in her heart. I don't know why he likes the attitude and honesty of Zidan to face his problems.
"In the meantime I trust you young man. Whether this is a right or wrong decision, but I'm sure that you can definitely make them both happy. I'm giving you a chance to prove your intentions. But if you hurt them, then there is no mercy for you anymore" said Kartika again.
Really, Zidan didn't expect this at all. Didn't expect that he would get such a rare opportunity like this. And Zidan promised, not only in the oral but also with the heart. That he will look after and make Nandita and Raka happy with his sincerity. Zidan promised to protect them with his life.
