"You've come home, Lex," Riana greeted her son who entered the house.
Alexi hugged his mother. "How are you, Mommy?"
"It's never been this good. You alone?" Riana hugged the child back, letting go of the longing.
"good. Healthful. Nothing less," replied Alexi in the warm embrace of his mother.
The woman with the gray hair broke down a hug, "Yes. Looks like you need a bath, mommy wait in the dining room."
Alexi nodded, then swung his long legs towards the room.
There was a void of every lie that came out of his mouth. No, he's not okay right now. His lips were able to speak, telling him there was nothing he needed to worry about, but his soul was in turmoil.
Although he had already decided to stop thinking about Airin, but still his feelings were not calm. It's not as easy as turning the palm. His heart is haunted by guilt, especially now that Airin is not known where he is.
Arriving at the room, Alexi sat on the edge of the bed. Reflect on the decisions he has made. That sense of dilemma is hard to get rid of, although the logic continues to emphasize forgetting everything. Forgetting Airin who has gone out of nowhere.
After finishing the shower. Alexi came out of his room, he went down the stairs to go to the dining room. There his parents were waiting, and they had lunch together.
Riana put down the spoon following the fork after the plate was empty. Then his motherly eyes stared fixedly at Alexi. "Someone wants to be told, Bang?"
Alexi sighed before looking back at his mother. His forehead was wrinkled to hear the ambiguous meaningful question. He began to wonder if his mother had known what he was doing while he was on the project.
"About what, Mom?" alexi asked trying to cover up the nervousness with her pretense.
"Anything, about the project, about your life salama there."
"Everything's good, Mom. The project was also smooth, and there were no more problems."
Riana let out a heavy sigh, she was disappointed by Alexi's attitude that was still trying to cover up the truth.
"Bang, mommy never taught you to cover anything from the family. We heard the news that you're married, what do you mean cover it up from us?" riana said whose face implied complaint.
"Lex, we're free to let you choose the path of life, not that you can hide something as important as that from us." Almeer chimed in with his tone firmly.
Alexi looked at his parents in turn. "Where did mommy and daddy know that?"
"It doesn't matter where we find out, Lex. Now just answer the question. What do you mean hide it from us? Don't you think of us as parents anymore?" almeer said with a voice that began to rise. Even though he was still trying to contain his frustration.
Knowing he was cornered, Alexi did not want to dodge anymore. He let out a long sigh, preparing to tell all the truth.
"Mom, Dad. I'm sorry, I love you so much, which I may have meant to deliberately keep something this important a secret. It's just that the marriage was due to a misunderstanding, and very suddenly. So I didn't get to tell you."
"Then?" Highlight the eyes of Riana who was staring at her son without blinking, as if impatiently hearing further explanations.
"Another reason, I married a woman I don't know very well. At first I was confused about what kind of marriage we had, so I decided to recognize him first. In order to decide, it is appropriate that I bring her here as the daughter-in-law of this house."
"When I was sure she was a good woman, I decided to bring her here. But at the same time he said that he had a deficiency, he could not get pregnant. I was disappointed to hear it, and then our relationship became tenuous. We've been quiet for a week."
Alexi shook his head. "I don't know, Dad?"
"meaning?" Riana did not understand.
"She's gone from home, and I don't know where. With the shortcomings he has, I don't think he deserves to behave like that, he should understand how to put himself. So, I decided to let go. That was his wish!"
Braakk!!
Almeer kicked the table hard, causing some cutlery to fall to the floor. Fortunately, the old Riana continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and has no history of heart disease.
The glint of Almeer's eyes glared at his son. For him, the actions of his son were truly shameful, let alone hearing that his son decided not to look for his wife. It is an attitude that does not describe a real man in charge. And Almeer did not feel like passing down such a lowly attitude to his son.
"It's easy to talk like that! What's inside your head, Lex. Letting an unlucky woman regret her life even more, you throw away a woman who has flaws. Do you think at all about what her sadness is like? Do you think not being able to conceive is her wish?" furious Almeer.
Alexi lowered his head. This whole life was the first time he had seen Almeer's current fury. He had never even heard his father snarl.
Riana rubbed her husband's arm, trying to ease her explosive anger. "Go to the room first, Al. Calm yourself, let me talk to our son."
Heard the soft voice of his wife. The fire of anger in Almeer was like water, which shrank and began to be extinguished. He then left the dining room, entrusting the matter to his wife.
"So you left your wife because she couldn't conceive. So, Bang?" ask Riana slowly.
Alexi shook his head. He wanted to stay after Zico's advice, but his wife left first.
"I've been pondering, Mom. I decided to accept his shortcomings. But he was gone before I could apologize. I guess it was a disrespectful gesture, and not a nice woman who just left her husband. So I decided not to look for her."
"Someone won't leave for no reason, Bang!" sela Riana's.
"After learning she can't get pregnant, I often go out at night. I ignored him, and last night. He asked me to make a decision, but I didn't say anything, because I still wanted to think things through. Then when I got back, he wasn't there." Alexi explained the chronology.
"When someone boldly admits his flaws, it means he's sincere, Bang. In the past, mommy also felt how sick she was told not to be able to get pregnant, mommy lived a tormented day. Even mommy had asked for separation from your daddy, asked him to marry a woman who could give him offspring," said Riana.
Alexi who did not know the story, looked at his mother fixedly.
"You know what your daddy did, when he found out mommy couldn't get pregnant and asked to split up?" ask mommy Riana. Alexi shakes his head.
"She cries, she embraces mommy, she gives mommy the blinds, she makes mommy comfortable, she never silences mommy, not once neglects mommy. In fact, the affection he has becomes even greater, after knowing the lack of mommy. Until finally God gave you in our lives, then followed by your four sisters. That's why your daddy looked so angry when he heard you hurt a less fortunate woman, Lex!"
Alexi dropped his head on the dining table. Both of his parents do not know who Airin is. She is not just a woman who is less fortunate, but the owner of a truly unfortunate fate. Perhaps if his parents knew the reality, their anger would be much greater than this.
Seriate.
