Past Dad 4

The wheel of life will always turn! believe it or not you'll still meet the day you don't want to!.

...~Elhameed...

"What's this about? why is my grandson syeza crying?!"

Haris stepped in but he looked shocked when he saw Elisha holding his drenched and faint grandson.

"What are you doing elisha?! what are you doing my granddaughter?!"

Haris looks angry and robs her grandson from elisha's arms.

Haris then laid his grandson's body on the bed.

Elisha then stood up.

"What's this?"

Erlina stepped in.

"My son!! what's wrong with my son?"

Erlina looked panicked and ran over to the son.

"Vino, please get me a change of clothes for sister!"

Vino nodded then deftly took his nephew's change of clothes and gave it to his sister, erlina then slowly changed the son's clothes and put eucalyptus oil on the end of his hands, feet and nose.

"My answer is elisa!! what did you do to my granddaughter?!"

"Dad I didn't do anything! I came to help my son, Dad!"

"Lied!! sister elisa lied father!!"

Kareen showed up and spoke.

"I even saw with my own eyes, sister Elisa throw my niece in the bathtub! sister Elisha tried to make an assassination attempt on your son, sister Erlina!"

Elisa looks surprised.

"What do you mean kareen? I didn't do that! and didn't you do it?!"

"You're accusing me brother? I can't kill my own niece !"

"I know you can't kill your own niece, but you're a aunt who doesn't have a heart! you made my son, your own nephew a tool to get rid of me, didn't you?!"

"What do you mean, brother? dad did you see? elisha is accusing me! and I really saw sister Elisa throwing my niece away!"

Kareen began to pretend to cry.

"I know brother, you want your daughter Sheza to get the love of her father and grandfather so you want to kill your son, right?!"

"Stop acting!!"

Elisa snapped at kareen.

"I know, you didn't approve of my marriage to elhameed! I know you hate me and my daughter, but that doesn't mean you're accusing me of this! I can't kill my own son!"

"Elisha enough!! you should apologize instead of defending yourself like this!!"

Her voice was a little high.

"But dad, I really didn't do it!"

"Who is elisa?! kareen even saw it for himself!!"

Erlina chimed in, and she stood up.

"No lin! please believe me! your son my son too, I am also his mother lin! how could a mother want to kill her own child!"

"You could've done it lis! as Kareen said, you want your daughter to get the full love of her father and grandfather! moreover, the child that you consider your own son is not from your womb!!"

"Listen to me lin, if I wanted to do that I might have eliminated my son long ago! please trust me, Lin!"

Elisha tried to hold Erlina's hand but Erlina threw her hand.

"You're disappointing me lis! I've been helping you all this time! I even let my husband marry you but this is your reply?! you even want to eliminate my son?!"

"I beg you lis, trust me! I didn't do it!"

erlina just fell silent.

Elisha wiped away his tears and turned to look at the father who looked angry.

"Dad, please believe me! your daughter didn't do it, father"

"Do you have any evidence to refute it? do you have anything that would make me believe you?"

Elisa remained silent.

"Free dad! elisha has no proof!"

Kareen.

"Silence kareen!! I asked elisha!"

The sound of harris soaring that made Kareen speechless.

"You know not lis? your father didn't believe you so easily without proof! you made a mistake and the proof is kareen as an eyewitness! if you didn't, do you have any evidence to convince me?"

Elisha wiped away his tears.

"Dad...., I...., I do not have proof but, I really did not do it Dad!"

"I told you, Dad! elisha did intend to kill his own son! any thief would admit his mistake!"

"I'm proof of it Dad! I'm proof that sister elisa didn't do it!"

Little Vino's voice sounded out loud making all eyes turn towards him.

"I saw it for myself father, brother Kareen who threw it in and brother Elisha came to help!!"

"Kareen, is it true that your sister vino said?!"

Haris looked closely at her daughter, Kareen.

"Dad trust vino?! vino is a little daddy! he didn't understand much about something like this!"

Kareen tried to defend herself.

"It is also natural for father if vino defended sister elisa, because indeed vino is closer and more affectionate with syeza than his biological nephew!"

Haris massaged his forehead and sighed violently.

"Lisa you're upsetting me!"

"Dad..., please believe me! I can't do it, Dad!"

"If you didn't do it, sis, why did you give Syeza a knife? do you want syeza to kill his brother? daddy see? sister Elisa even taught her daughter to be a murderer!"

Everyone looks shocked.

Elisha looked at his daughter who was standing with a penknife with trembling hands and tears flowing.

Elisha smiled and wiped away his daughter's tears.

"Darling, you came with this knife?"

Little syeza just nodded.

"You took it where, baby?"

Little syeza just fell silent.

Elisha then took the knife from his daughter's hand and held her daughter's small hand that was still shaking.

"No need to worry, honey, just say it! mama won't scold you"

"Tante kareen ma, aunt kareen who gave this thing to yeza! aunt Kareen said this thing could save brother"

Elisha seemed to take a breath and stood up.

"You're accusing me of framing my daughter too?!"

Elisha is looking at Kareen.

"Dad don't believe it! I can't hurt my own niece, Dad! dad you know too, don't you? I have loved my nephew so much! elisa's setting me up, Dad! elisa has not liked me all this time! he wants me to be expelled from this family! he wants me to hate him!"

Kareen is crying again.

"Dad....,"

Elisha tried to approach his father.

"Elisha enough!! you...., you've been using dad's kindness all this time!"

"No dad, I beg you! I didn't do it! don't you trust Vino's father's son and your granddaughter syeza? I know they're kids, but don't kids never lie? they're telling the truth dad! I didn't do it, Dad!"

"Elisha enough!! you just keep defending yourself like this! I'm sick of hearing it!!"

Haris snapped at elisa and Kareen looked happily smiling.

"But dad....,"

"What?! you want to defend yourself again?! you've crossed the border of Elisha!"

His hand raised was about to slap Elisha however, a burly hand held him.

"Don't touch my wife, Dad! my hands never even fumigated them so, I would never let anyone including my father babysit my wives!"

The new Elhameed looked angry, he then threw his father's hand from his grasp.

"You're defending your wife who wants to eliminate your own son?!"

"I don't know what you're doing, but I always trust my wives!"

"But the reality is that it is indeed like that elhameed!! your wife elisa wants to eliminate your son!!"

Her voice is rising.

Elhameed was silent for a moment and stared fixedly at his wife Elisa who was still crying.

"Why meed? you don't trust me either?! you also want to say that I am trying to eliminate my son?! say it!! you also want to accuse me, right?!"

Elisha sobbing.

Elhameed smiled slightly then slowly wiped away his wife's tears gently.

"Did I say that I don't trust you?"

Elisa remained silent.

Elhameed clasped elisa's hand.

"You remember the motto in our marriage, don't you? our household motto! me, you and Erlina! trust lis! and I always believed that my wives were good women!"

Elhameed then turned around and looked at the father fixedly.

"Sorry father, I didn't mean to oppose you but, I always believed in my wives and they were good mothers! and a mother can't kill her own child!"

"But meed, what if elisa really did it?"

Erlina.

"You don't trust your own best friend, either?"

Elhameed looked towards erlina.

Erlina just fell silent.

"I also want to believe it but, I still doubt it! what if elisa really did it?"

Inner erlina.

"Yes my free meed told you, you won't believe me! but I still can't forgive your wife's actions! for that, I gave you one choice! divorce elisa or erlina!"

Haris.

"What do you mean dad? I can't divorce any of them!"

"Why is it impossible?! you can't make a decision?! then let me decide! divorce erlina! I don't want my daughter to feel pain because of your second wife!"

"Dad.....,?"

Erlina started sobbing.

"No dad! I won't divorce anyone among them!!"

"Don't be stubborn hameed!! divorce my daughter!!"

"Will never be father!! not just trust but, in my marriage there is no word divorce!!"

"Then take Elisha away from me!! I don't want to see his face!"

Haris looks angry.

"'Dad.....,"

Elisha was about to step closer to his father but elhameed held his hand.

"Well, if that's what you want! I'll take elisha away! and whenever your daughter Erlina remains my wife! I will never divorce her!!"

Elhameed then carried the little syeza and was about to step away.

"Yeah!!"

The handsome little one who had just realized from his stupor got up and ran towards the father.

"Where is Dad going? where are mama lisa and yeza?"

Elhameed smiled then lowered his daughter and sat down bowing before his son.

"Hadjack you don't worry! I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going for a little while with mama lisa and yeza so, can I borrow some lisa mama and her yeza?"

"But dad...., you won't be long, will you?"

"No dear! I'll just go for a second!"

"But....., why don't you take me and mom too? aren't we always together?"

"Dad's sorry, this time I can't take you and mom but, I promise you I'll come back to pick you up and mom! so I'll take your mother! can you take good care of your mother for me?"

"Look dad! I promise to take good care of you!!"

"Smart kid!"

Elhameed smiled and rubbed his son's hair.

"Mama lisa why are you crying?"

The handsome boy looked up at his mother.

Elisha sat down before his son.

"Akh no dear! mama Lisa is just feeling sad! mama Lisa will miss you!"

"Mama lisa don't be sad! didn't you promise you'd come and pick me up? so we'll definitely gather again!"

The handsome little guy then wiped away Elisa's tears.

Elisha smiled bitterly.

"Mom lisa can hug your son?"

"Of course!"

The handsome little guy smiled and nodded.

Elisha then pulled his son in his arms.

"You must take good care of your mother!"

Elisha then let go of his embrace.

"Do you understand, baby?"

The handsome little guy nodded, then turned to look at the younger brother who was just standing still.

"Yeza you don't want to say goodbye to me?"

"No!! I don't want to say goodbye to you!!"

"Why?"

The eyes of the handsome little guy look teary.

"Because you've made grandpa and mama lina scold my mama!!"

Little syeza looks a little face-off.

The older brother wrinkled his brows feeling confused.

"Darling can't be like that! syeza should say goodbye to brother"

Elisha rebuked his daughter.

Little syeza was seen putting on a lazy face and then turned towards the brother.

The little smiling brother.

"I don't know what really happened to our parents! I'm sure something happened, right? but, trust me everything will be fine yeza!"

The older brother looked at the little sheza gently and then pointed his little finger in front of his sister.

"Ppromise me yeza that you won't forget me! and promise me that someday if anything happens you'll find me and find me!"

The little syeza fell silent and looked at the little finger of the older brother outstretched towards him.

"You want to promise me?"

The brother moved his little finger, slowly the little sheza raised his hand and then hooked his little finger with the little finger of the brother.

"I promise you, brother!"

"Remember you promised yeza so, you'll have to keep it too!"

The brother smiled.

Little syeza nodded.

"You must also promise to find me and find me!"

The brother nodded.

Little syeza smiled.

"But wait, why are your eyes glazed over? you crying?"

The little syeza took off his finger and looked at the older brother.

"Akh I'm not crying!! I just...., eeemm I'll miss you!"

"Sister you have to believe that if you miss me that means I miss you too!"

The brother looked at the sister.

"Akh what should I believe?"

"Eemm of course!!"

Little syeza smiled little while nodding to make the brother also smile.

"Open!!"

The little syeza then turned to look at the vino who stood by lowering his head.

Little syeza then stepped over to vino but vino was seen to throw his face.

"Why did uncle throw his face away? does my uncle hate me now?"

"I don't hate you! but you're leaving! i...., I just.....,"

Vinos words stuck there.

The little syeza smiled and then clasped Vino's hand.

"Don't throw away your face like that uncle! I want you to see me!"

Vino looked at his nephew.

"I won't forget you uncle! I promise I'll look for you and find you!"

Vino smiled bitterly withholding tears.

"Aakhh I will definitely miss you uncle!!"

Little Sheza hugged his uncle.

"Hiss!! he didn't give me a hug but even hugged uncle?!!"

The handsome little guy nags in his heart.

"Can't I just go with you?"

Vino whispered.

"I don't want to see grandpa scolding you uncle!"

Little syeza whispered back.

"I'll show you my courage yeza!"

Little syeza smiled and let go of his embrace.

"Waakhh did they even whisper?! what are they whispering?! yeza even smiled?!"

The handsome little guy went back to grumbling in his heart.

The little syeza then walked over to his father.

Elhameed smiled then kissed his son's forehead and returned to hold the little syeza.

Elisha was seen taking a breath and wiping his tears and kissing his son's forehead gently.

"Why do I feel the fear of excessive loss? Lord I ask You to meet and reunite my family someday!"

Inner elisa.

Elhameed then clasped Elisha's hand and was about to step away but Elisha held back the elhameed step.

"Meed....,"

Elhameed stared at elisha.

"Can't you think about it anymore? you're gonna take me and syeza away and then what about erlina and my son? you're gonna leave them here?"

"It's the best decision of lis! I don't have the power to take you both! if I choose to stay here with Erlina what about you and syeza? erlina can still be under dad while you? don't worry, I promised not to pick up erlina later?"

Elisha was silent.

They then stepped back.

"Biggat!!"

Vino ran towards elhameed and elisa.

"I want to go with you!"

"The casino!! back to your place!!"

Haris shouted furiously.

"No dad! I want to go with my brother Hameed and sister elisa!"

"Dad gave vino orders!!"

"And I defy your orders father!!"

The sound of the vino rising made all eyes look at him.

Little Vino, known as a submissive child, never defied the orders of the father and never even raised his voice! today made all pairs of eyes shocked.

"Today you have no right to ban me father! because don't you trust me no more?! so why am I staying in this house?! I don't want to live in a house where a father doesn't trust his own son! why would I grow up to be your heir if you didn't trust me?!"

Haris froze.

The son he was proud of today was against him.

"Sorry dad, I brought your son!"

Elhameed chimed in, he then glanced at elisa.

Elisha gave a small nod and then swiftly took Vino's hand, they then stepped out together.

"Perse me elhameed!! you can't just leave by tying me up like this!!"

Erlina cried out angrily with tears continuing to flow.

Elhameed did not touch him, he continued to step by holding elisa's hand.

"Dad.....,"

Elhameed turned to his daughter.

"Can you put me down for a second?"

Elhameed fell silent then gave a small nod and lowered his daughter from her sling.

The little syeza smiled then ran towards erlina and hugged her tightly.

"Mama lin forgive yeza! don't cry ma, yeza apologize!"

Erlina just fell silent unresponsive to the embrace of her little daughter.

"Yeza promised that yeza would also find mama lin!"

The little sheza then released his embrace and his tiny hand and grasped the mother's hand.

"Yeza will definitely miss mama lin! yeza will definitely miss this hand! hands that teach yeza many things and hands that always hold yeza's hand!"

The little syeza smiled and kissed the mother's hand, then turned to approach the grandfather and hugged him tightly.

"Yeza doesn't really understand why grandfather is this angry.....,"

The little syeza then let go of his embrace and looked at the grandfather gently and instantly the tears of the little sheza flowed.

"But yeza always believed, grandfather was a good man! grandpa is the best grandfather yeza has! forgive yeza! grandpa promised yeza that you should stay alive until yeza grows up!"

Haris threw his face away and tried to hold back his tears, he could not even see his grandson crying in front of him.

"Grandfather doesn't even want to see me? grandpa doesn't hate me, does he? grandpa, does yeza have to go? can't yeza stay here with Grandpa for a long time? but yeza doesn't have to worry, does he? because dad said we were only gone for a minute! grandpa, yeza has one request! if yeza returns later yeza will tell grandfather and grandfather must promise to grant yeza's request later!!"

Haris was silent, he didn't know what to say! wanting to feel like he hugged his grandson tightly and calmed him down so as not to cry, however, his ego and prestige made him still throw his face and did not want to look at his grandson in the slightest.

The little syeza just smiled a little and then walked back to the father.

Elhameed then returned to hold his daughter and again stepped away with elisa and the little vino.
