Lailatulqadar (Song of Missing For Fathers)
Chapter 31

Syarif stopped his motorbike around the mosque area of the Agria Regency complex.A view circulating around looking for a figure of Handoko who is likely currently going tarawih.

Restu who followed him was not far from him. Restu observed what Sharif was doing. He deliberately did not approach his father before knowing what his father wanted to say to Handoko if indeed they both had to meet.

Either by chance or fate for both of them. Suddenly Handoko appeared from the opposite direction. He was walking with Laila, Qadar and Aldo who seemed to be about to enter the courtyard of the mosque.

Sharif who saw them immediately came down from the bike. With a big step Syarif approached Handoko and the others.

Handoko was surprised when she saw Sharif who was now walking closer to her.

Likewise with Laila and Qadar they were very surprised to see the existence of Sharif.

"Sister, isn't that Restu's brother's father?" asked Qodar innocently, he did not know who Sharif really was.

Laila only gave a nod in response to the question Qadar was asking.

While Laila's heart was wondering, what was the matter of her father coming here?

"You can go in first, uncle wants to talk to him for a moment. " Handoko asked the three children to enter the mosque immediately.

Actually Laila was anxious to know what the adult male lead was going to talk about. But it seems Handoko forbids him to stay there, especially now that there are Qadar and Aldo that he must take care of. In addition, Qadar must be kept away from them because maybe they will discuss about him and Qadar.

"Let's go in." Laila grabbed the arms of the two little ones guiding them into the mosque area.

Syarif has now arrived in front of Handoko. There was eye contact between Sharif and Laila, before Laila left them both.

"What do you need to do coming here? Are you aware of your mistake of not admitting your two children? Or rather you want to threaten me not to expose your rot in front of your wife and child?" tanya Handoko.

"I want to warn you not to interfere with my life right now. I leave the two children to you, just relax I will give them all their needs. Later I will transfer every month, as long as you never divulge this secret to my family" said Syarif.

"You need to know before getting married to Marni I was already married to Ambar and had a child that is Restu. Therefore they are more entitled than Laila with Qadar" he continued.

Sharif took something from his pants pocket.A piece of paper that allegedly was a check with a large nominal. Sharif handed the check to Handoko.

"This money is quite large, probably enough to meet the needs of Laila and Qadar in the next few months. If it runs out I'll add more, but remember we have to agree to keep everything covered from Ambar and Restu. Now Restu already knows about the leaflets you made so you have to find the right reason to explain to him so that he does not suspect me. Say whatever makes him believe in you" Sharif said.

Hearing the words of Sharif just now Handoko knows that Syarif is now so depressed and afraid that his rottenness will soon be discovered by his family. Handoko grew furious because it turned out Sharif had no intention to admit Laila and Qadar. Sharif is so selfish according to him because he prefers to attach importance to Ambar and Restu rather than young children who should get the same rights from him.

It is not just the material that Laila and Qadar need but the affection and recognition of a father. But in reality Sharif did not want to acknowledge them as his son. If indeed Ambar and Restu should not know about this at least Syarif admitted Laila and Qadar behind them. Although having to secretly pay attention to Laila and Qadar, it would be better than replacing everything with money.

Handoko does not want to lose, his hands have been very itching to hit Syarif since last afternoon met. And now it's time for him to vent all his frustration on Sharif.

Strikes happened between the two of them. Unfortunately the situation outside the mosque was quite quiet because people had entered the mosque and started worshiping. So that no one broke their fight.

Restu who was not far from there could only quietly listen and watch the two. He thinks Sharif his father deserves the blows from Handoko.

Which parent does not recognize his own flesh and blood? Which father was so cruel as to deliberately abandon his children? Only Sharif can do that. Restu let them fight. Restu knows how angry Handoko is with Syarif. Restu let Handoko let go of all her anger towards Sharif.

Meanwhile at the mosque, Laila's heart felt unsettled. He immediately left the mosque after delivering Qadar and Aldo.

He even had time to listen to the conversation between Handoko and Sharif before the two finally fought. But like Restu, Laila also seems unable to divorce them both. Without Laila knowing Qadar also followed him from behind. The little boy seems very curious about the arrival of Syarif to meet Handoko.

Not only Laila who witnessed the two of them even Qadar now already knows who Sharif really is. 5-year-old Aldo, who is now beside Qadar, understands what Handoko and Sharif are talking about.

When she saw the blood flowing in the corner of Handoko's lips, her uncle, Laila immediately ran to them both to stop the quarrel of the two men who were none other than her own father and uncle.

"Enough! Stop that!" hiss Laila.

Instantly the two stopped the action hit them when they heard the sound of Laila's scream.

Handoko rubbed the coarse blood on the corner of her lips.

"Never hurt my uncle!" Laila said out loud with a sharp look at Sharif's bead.

"I wouldn't hurt him if he wanted to comply with my request" Sharif said without feeling any sin.

"Good! From this moment on, me and Qadar are not your children! We'll never see you, interfere with your life again. We're going to bury all hope of a fatherly figure who we thought would be our guardian angel in a time of this kind of slump. But I and Qadar were wrong! The figure of the Father we wanted turned out to be completely absent from you. Maybe you can be the best Dad for Restu. But not for us. You need to know that neither I nor Qadar ever asked to be born in this world as your son. It is precisely you who must take responsibility before God for us" said Laila withholding tears that made her eyes feel hot and reddened.

Sharif seemed to continue to shower his heart and scratch the inner wounds in it. A wound that will never heal in a short time. Which also battered his mind all out.

The tongue of Sharif seemed to be confused to hear the words of Laila just now. It was as if he was slapped by the speech of the 15-year-old. But unfortunately instead of being aware, Sharif's ego even higher if pressed and advised as such.

Sharif would go from before them. He ran across the street where his bike was parked across the street. But who would have thought Qadar who knew if Sharif was his father now he was chasing the man. At the same time a car passed from another direction and an accident was inevitable. Qadar was hit by a passing car as he was about to cross.

"Qadar!" laila screamed as she saw Qadar's body bounce off and crash a few meters down the highway.
