99 Love for You
99CU(S2): Disappointed, Sorry, and Love (2)

...💟💟💟...

The next day, Rangga was active as usual. He went back into the office as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Rangga could not sleep well last night. Memories after memories with his mother in childhood reappeared. But he is the most professional person in AJ Foods. It was certain that his flat-faced expression covered all the trouble in his heart.

"Aren't you okay?" Ask Danny carefully.

Rangga glanced cynically at Danny.

"Sorry brother. I don't mean..."

"That's it. Don't discuss. I'm doing fine. Get out the schedule today!"

"Good, brother!"

Adi Jaya is currently on its way to Bali. Sandra was not with him. Sandra wanted to make all these problems work by meeting Rangga in between her lunch break. Sandra will tell all the stories she knows about Rangga's mother, Anna.

"Tante knows it's too late to say this, but... You still need to know the truth..."

".............."

"Strong... Mama you left, maybe because Papa you married an aunt and then aunty came to pregnant Sheila."

"Maybe?" Rangga. His facial expression remained flat as usual.

"I'm sorry if all this happened because of aunt. But..."

"But what?!"

"But they also have their own covenant with their marriage."

"What?" Rangga.

Yang Rangga knows, his mother left because of Sandra's presence. That's why he hates Sandra. But Rangga hated his mother more because he did not invite her to go together.

"Your aunt and father knew before Papa and Mama were betrothed. After they got married, the aunt broke off our relationship because she did not want to damage their household.

Aunty met your father again after a long time, and we decided to get married secretly. Although Anna finally found out about our relationship.

She was furious when she found out that Mas Adi's daughter was pregnant. She's desperate to end the marriage, but she's rethinking because they have you. Aunty knows aunt is wrong because it is present again at their wedding.

But Rangga, their marriage is already problematic even before the aunt is present again. They made a marriage pact after you were born."

"Do you know what the deal is about?" Rangga's eyes began to turn red.

"Know the aunt is that if one of the parties wants to end the relationship, then the party is not entitled to custody of their child. That's you."

"What kind of deal is that? That means Papa framed Mama because Papa knew that you wouldn't be able to accept aunty as his honeymoon."

"I'm sorry auntie, Rangga... Sorry aunt..." Sandra started shedding tears.

".................."

"Auntie please... You can forgive all this. After all, they are your parents. Forgive them so that we can all live in peace..."

Sandra cupped her hands together and begged for forgiveness from Rangga.

"It's been twenty years aunty... I hated everything for twenty years!!

How can I forgive you in just one day?!

Do you know how I feel? I was just a kid then. How can you think only of yourself?"

Rangga rubbed his face and wiped his tears quickly. He was sad, angry, disappointed and hated. While Sandra was crying sobbing hearing all the expressions of Rangga's heart.

"Let me alone aunt. Let me think about all this myself."

"alright. Forgive aunt, Rangga. One thing you should know, aunty sincerely loves you like her own son. Auntie doesn't want you to get hurt. Sorry aunt..." And Sandra stepped out of Rangga's office still with her sobs.

Rangga hit his desk. What other reality is this that he has to face? He must think clearly. He will not be as desperate as before.

Rangga decided to meet Cecilia in her cafe. There's something he needs to ask Cecil.

"The ladder? What are you doing here?" Cecilia was shocked to see Rangga in her cafe.

"There's time? Can I talk to you for a second?" Tanya Rangga flat.

"It just so happens that the cafe is deserted. Stay here or..."

"Here if I can."

"Please sit. What do you want to order?"

"There's hot chocolate?"

Cecilia scrunched her forehead.

"Sorry, just coffee, please..."

"Wait a minute!"

Cecilia came back with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Thank you." Rangga sipped slowly on his coffee.

"There's something I want to ask you about...."

"Your mom?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why not just go see him? Didn't you try to find her."

"I've hated him for twenty years, there's no way I've suddenly come to see him."

"You don't hate him, Rangga."

"Eh?"

"What do you get after twenty years of hating your own mother? Are you happy, Rangga?"

"Cellie!!!" Rangga raised his voice.

Cecilia was shocked to hear Rangga snapping at her.

"I'm sorry... L'm... I'm..." Rangga looked at Cecilia very deeply.

Miss you. I miss you so much, Cecilia. Even though you left me.

"I what?" Cecilia continued.

"I... Begging you... Tell me what you know about Mama..." Rangga.

"I don't know much about Umi Isma's story. But, he told me that he had to leave you because your life would be better with your father.

I'm sorry if I meddle in this matter, but I don't think you hate Umi Isma, you love her, so you're looking for her.

But, if you will continue to hate, until when will all this end Rangga? Will you continue to add twenty years just to live in hatred and vengeance?

Forgive all, and your life will be calmer. The past cannot be repeated, but the future, you alone must determine. Whether you will live in hatred, or live in tranquility."

"Talk is easy, Cecil... You won't know just by..."

"I know everything, Rangga. I feel everything. Love, hatred, revenge, loss, regret. But I'm happier with forgiveness... It's my path, I don't know how you walk."

"..............."

What Cecilia said was true. The heart of the soul says so. If only Cecilia was still the old one, she had been hugged tightly by the hijab woman.

Rangga could still resist his desire. Even though his eyes cannot lie. Rangga still loves Cecilia. His heart still links to one name, Cecilia Wijaya...

...***...

After Adi Jaya returned from her business trip in Bali, Rangga decided to clarify all the issues. He gathers people in his house to talk. He can't stand it anymore. He wants to uncover the truth in his family.

"Tante Sandra told me everything, Pa. So, Papa doesn't have to dodge anymore. Mama didn't leave me like Papa told me. Papa made Mama go."

"Then what do you want now?" Adi Jaya ruffled waist. The hard nature of Rangga must have been obtained from his father who did not know the word surrender.

"I'll forgive Mama. Forgive you guys who have been lying to me. I don't want to live in hatred forever. That's enough, Pa. I beg Papa too, to stop everything. Let's live quietly from now on. I'm begging you, Pa!" Rangga's eyes were reddened. Her tears have been shed by the eyes.

Adi Jaya was silent. Sandra was already shedding tears.

"Are you sure you can take your mama back?" Tanya Adi Jaya later. He began to melt because of the persistence of his son.

"He is my Mom. She gave birth to me. I'll take it back. I'm not leaving here, I'll still be Papa's son. I'll take care of the company too. I promise!"

"Pa, let Rangga see Anna's mother. He had already suffered for twenty years without meeting Rangga," Sandra pinta.

Adi Jaya is approaching Rangga. Looked at his favorite son. Hugged her.

"All Papa's been doing is protecting you, son."

"I'm an adult, Pa. I have the right to set my own path."

Adi Jaya's chest feels tight. He did not want to lose his son. He does not want if Rangga does something stupid again when his wish is not granted.

"alright. You can find your mama."

"Really, Pa?"

Adi Jaya nodded.

"Thank you very much, Pa!" She hugged Adi Jaya.
