Aksara For Arsyilla
Disappointment of a Child
Tiara's confession made everyone who attended the trial completely dumbfounded. If Mama Khaira and Papa Radit who are not too familiar with the figure of Darren Jaya Wardhana more can dampen his emotions. In contrast to Mother Kanaya who looked to massage her forehead, felt dizzy because everything that befell Arsyilla was related to the figure of Darren Jaya Wardhana.
Mother Kanaya approached and embraced Arsyilla, “Pardon Mother, Syilla ... do not think that everything that happened is related to people from the past Mother,” said Mother Kanaya this time.
The grudge for so many years in fact has not been extinguished at all in the heart of Darren Jaya Wardhana. The man seemed to be constantly trying to disturb happiness in the family of Mother Kanaya and Father of Bhishma. It's a long time to keep a grudge.
Arsyilla herself was silent. His mind seemed to have difficulty digesting all of this. How can one problem be related to each other. Even unbeknownst to Aksara, a few months ago, it was Om Darren who harassed his career on campus. Almost Arsyilla gave up her profession as a Lecturer. Thank goodness it can all be on top. Now, just a month later, Om Darren again makes it as bait. Make him a victim. Arsyilla's heart feels claustrophobic, especially Arsyilla feels no problem directly with Om Darren.
If Arsyilla guesses, the one that caused Om Darren's wrath and grudge against her is the one last year, one of which is, when he reported Ravendra and made the young man who had been his girlfriend had to languish in prison. Could it be that the incident made Om Darren so willing to make himself a victim? Just imagine, Arsyilla's chest is increasingly tight. Tears just came out of the corner of his eye.
Then now, Ravendra who approached the family Pradhana and Raditya who were gathering. In particular, Ravendra approached Mother Kanaya. The young man's face flushed red, even his eyeballs seemed to imply such deep disappointment.
“Tante Kanaya,” Ravendra's greeting to the figure of the woman he has known for a long time.
Mother Kanaya also blinked, and turned to look at the figure of Ravendra, “Ya,” said Mother Kanaya.
Ravendra looked restless, but the young man finally ventured to voice, “Tante Kanaya. Vendra had no idea Papa was involved in this incident. Forgive Vendra, Auntie. However, honestly Vendra was not involved in this incident at all,” I am Ravendra.
Only this time Ravendra was heartened and apologized to Mother Kanaya. The young man looked as surprised as Arsyilla and the others.
“It's okay Ravendra .. only if Aunt can advise, live on your path like this. Aunty is grateful for this positive change,” replied Mother Kanaya.
“Good Aunt .. once again forgive Ravendra,” I am Ravendra.
Looks Aksara approached and pat Ravendra on the shoulder, “No problem Vendra .. All this is masterminded by your Papa, and not you. Don't blame yourself too much,” Aksara said this time.
Once again Aksara shows that he has the viewpoint of being an adult man who can distinguish what is right and what is wrong. In the eyes of Aksara, he could judge that Ravendra was really not involved in the bad events that befell Arsyilla. His little heart could feel all of this.
“Sorry, Aksara,” said Ravendra this time.
***
A few hours later …
Ravendra came home from the court, and the place she was heading to right now was her Papa's residence with Mama Tyriri. The goal came this time not to be friendly, but to vent how his heart was so sick with every dirty deed that his father had done.
Papa Darren came down the stairs. The man smiled and welcomed his son.
“Wah, Papa's son came here .. What is it that made you come here Ven?” ask Papa Darren.
However, in fact Ravendra actually threw away his face, he seemed reluctant to look at his Papa's face.
“Pa, why is Papa so hearty Pa? Why Papa is never bored to do dirty deeds. Answer Vendra, Pa! Why did Papa plot a malicious act to harm Arsyilla!” Ravendra yells. It was as if the patience in his heart was completely exhausted. He wanted to hear the explanation from his father.
“Quiet Vendra, what do you mean?” papa Darren asked Ravendra.
“No need to pretend anymore Pa. Vendra already knew that Papalah was the brain behind the crime committed by Tiara and Bagas. Ravendra did not understand why Papa can do all that,”, said Ravendra this time.
“It's not like that, Vendra. Listen to Papa first,” said Papa Darren.
However, quickly Ravendra shook his head, “It's enough Pa! It's been enough Papa to hurt Vendra all this time. Papa's been acting bad even since Vendra hasn't been born. Papa lets Mama conceive and give birth to Vendra alone. Papa also hurts Aunt Kanaya's family by kidnapping Aksara. Is all that not enough Pa? Now, Papa still wants to hurt Arsyilla. Vendra was really disappointed with Papa!”
The feelings of disappointment and even heartache that had been lodged and slowly buried in Ravendra's heart finally exploded as well. In front of her Papa, Ravendra reveals how she feels this time to her Papa.
Not realizing his mistake, in fact Papa Darren actually raised his right hand. The man seemed to be unable to accept all of Ravendra's words, until Papa Darren slapped a hard slap in Ravendra's face.
Plaque!
The sound of a palm hitting the side of Ravendra's face.
Ravendra's tears are shed too. In his entire life, only this time did his father slap him. What an act like a Papa did to his own son. Ravendra then looked at his Papa's face by holding the side of his face that was so painful, but still his heartache that felt unable to accept all the dirty deeds of his Papa.
“So .. when a child comes and asks for an explanation. When a child comes and wants his father who has been wrongful can stop, it is precisely this slap that Papa gave. Ravendra's really sorry, Pa. Pain in Vendra's face, nothing. Vendra's heartache is more from being born from a seed than a man like Papa. Is it in old age that Papa still wants to be in prison? Please Pa, stop everything. Please Pa, don't be cruel again. It has been enough all the dirty and wrongful deeds of Papa in the past,” said Ravendra.
Ravendra's words were so painful. However, Darren only lowered his face. The middle-aged man also felt guilty for slapping Ravendra in the face.
After saying his disappointed feelings, Ravendra selflessly left. In his car, several times Ravendra hit the steering wheel, even the man banged his forehead on the steering wheel. His heart was completely raging at this moment. More precisely, Ravendra felt a broken heart. A broken heart is not a breakup. However, heartbroken because he had to return to face the harsh reality of his Papa figure. A bloodless wound that again scratched his heart because of his Papa's dirty deeds.
