Lailatulqadar (Song of Missing For Fathers)
Chapter 57

Syarif was forced to follow Ambar's steps, especially his wife was blocking the wrist and pulled him into the office. Some of the people who were there seemed to be watching them dumbstruckly.

"What do you guys see?" Ambar stared one by one his employees until they immediately bowed and returned busy with their respective activities.

"Qadar." Restu stepped intending to approach, with a happy smile from being able to meet Qadar again.

But Laila had already walked over to Qadar and pulled his sister's arm to leave the place immediately.

"Let's get Qadar out of here!" take Laila without respecting Restu. Another with Qadar who occasionally looked back where Restu tried to follow his steps.

"Relina, Qadar! Waita minute!" Restu seemed to follow his second move.

Laila stopped her steps, she turned her body with a stern look staring at Restu who was now right in front of her.

"Sorry, Restu, I think there will be someone who will replace my position to take care of business between your company and Julian's company," laila made the decision to quit the project and will discuss this with her boss Julian.

"Laila, I'm not talking about work. I want to meet Qadar. I miss your sister a lot because I haven't seen her in a long time, so now I'm very happy to see her again" said Restu.

"Now have we met, right? So that's enough and we'll excuse you." Laila flipped over with one hand pulling Qadar's arm.

"Laila don't do this, I beg you! We're one family, we have to take care of our family. I'm sorry if my mother has been so bad to you, I don't think she can accept you yet but one day I'm sure her heart will melt and accept you as part of us." Restu seemed to be following their steps.

"Don't connect our family problems with this project, I want you to handle everything" Restu continued.

Laila stopped her steps back.

"I'm sorry Mr. Restu, I don't mean to link work with personal matters. It's just that I don't want to deal with people who don't like me! Even if I don't want to see you again, I've decided to quit this project and I'm going to talk to Julian about it. Thanks!" Laila walked back but Restu pulled the woman's arm.

"Take me off Mr. Restu, you're not my mahram so you can't carelessly touch me!" tepis Laila was rude and upset.

"sorry. But we are family. I don't mean anything."

"Between us there's no blood relation, Mr. Restu! You remember that!" laila.

"Yes forgive me, but... "

"It's Mr. Restu, enough! Please appreciate my decision!" Laila again continued her steps which had stopped repeatedly because of being blocked by Restu.

Laila and Qadar left the place, leaving Restu staring at the departure of the two brothers.

Arriving at Laila's house immediately railed against Qadar with various questions including about why Qadar could be there, in Restu's office.

Handoko and Mira who watched the two of them looked at each other.

"I'm sorry, brother, I was following Brother. I just want to see Father and Sister Restu." Qadar tried to be honest because he really wanted to meet his father and Restu was a very nice person to him.

"For what? Tell me why you want to meet them? To add to our hurt and heartache, is that what you want?" laila said it looked fiery.

The pain Ambar inflicted made him emotional.

"I miss them, brother!" now Qadar did not lose his voice.

"Hindu? You still miss someone who never expected you to be in this world at all?" Laila's tears are now unbearable after a long time he is always strong finally shed too.

"Sister, don't be wrong. Father and Brother Restu seem to miss us too. It's just that Miss Ambar hates and keeps trying to keep us away from Dad. I don't think it's entirely dad's fault, but he was forced because his wife did not like us, it doesn't mean we should hate my dad, right?" hiss Qadar.

Only Qadar, Handoko and Mira remained in the room. The three of them seemed silent, busy with their respective thoughts.

"Later Uncle will talk to your brother, maybe at this time he is emotional. Let him calm down first, Uncle sure gradually Laila will be able to understand what you mean by following him there," said Handoko pacified Qadar.

The next day at the office. Laila met Julian in his room.

"Sir, I'm sorry that I wanted to transfer my work to work on a project with Ambar Group. I can't, and you can find another employee to handle the project" Laila said.

"I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, and if you object, I'm ready to resign from this company" he continued.

Julian frowned in surprise because suddenly Laila did not want to handle the project that was fully handed over to her.

"But why? Give me a reasonable reason" Julian said curiously.

Laila fell silent, she could not tell her personal problems, mixing personal problems with work. Laila realized this was a mistake because this meant that she was unprofessional. But Laila really didn't want to deal with the Ambar family anymore.

"Sorry sir, I can't tell you why." Laila bowed in.

Julian let out a long sigh, Restu asked yesterday about this. Restu asked if Laila had said that Laila no longer wanted to take care of cooperation with Ambar Group company. And now Julian heard himself from Laila's mouth. But what is the reason, until this moment Julian never knew.

"What is your relationship with Restu? Have you ever known him before? Or maybe she's your ex-boyfriend?" julian asked in full investigation, he suspected that Laila had a special relationship with Restu to make Laila uncomfortable when having to work together on a project with Restu.

Laila looked up in shock, Julian could think there.

"Sorry, I'm just guessing. So you give a clear reason, this project is not just anyone can handle. I'm assigning you because I believe in you as Laila," Julian explained when he saw Laila's facial expression that might be offended by her remark.

Laila let out a long sigh, inevitably she told him everything. Julian was quite surprised after knowing what reason made Laila quit this job.

"Then I'll find another employee to take your place. Sorry, I misunderstood." Julian felt pity after hearing the story from Laila's mouth about her family background.

"Thank you for understanding, sir." Laila was relieved.

"When you talk from the beginning, maybe I won't assign you to take care of this project. I don't want to see you grieve Laila" Julian said.

"At that time I did not know if you would cooperate with Ambar Group companies, and I never thought it would be reunited with them," said Laila.

For a moment they kept quiet, then Julian began to change the subject. Julian feels Restu likes Laila too, and Julian fears Laila has the same feelings. Julian wanted to immediately get clarity and certainty from Laila about the application he often made to the woman.

"Laila, you know that I'm trying to be a good man to be a female companion like you. I really need reassurance from you" Julian said seriously.

"I... " Laila still couldn't make up her mind.

"It's okay if you can't answer now. But I ask not to take too long to make a decision, if there is another man who has filled your heart then I will step back but God willing I will continue to study religion because I need it most for my life in the future, even if I'm not a match for you, I want to be a good priest for whoever my partner will be" Julian said.

Laila was touched to hear Julian's words. Laila thinks Julian's changed enough.

"I'll be soon, maybe tomorrow or the day after. I have to talk about this to my family first" said Laila, who is a member of Julian.
