Behind The Boss
It Would Never

His eyes looked at the beauty of the ambiance from the third floor balcony. He deliberately stood there, from Raisa's room and not her room. He wanted to recall the day he and the woman still wanted to link up with each other. Promise not to leave each other. Although maybe the woman did not have the same feelings as herself.

After months of struggling in vague memories in a place that felt foreign to him. Only one familiar face was on his mind. The face of the woman he then pours out in sheets of paper. Until then the memory returned, became bright and clear. Then he came back.

In his mind, the woman would still be waiting for him because the woman's lover - according to his assumptions - already had no hope of returning to the woman. And to make him more certain is the existence of the Big Brother who will keep the woman for himself. Keep it from being owned by others.

But reality does blow it. The person he thought at first would keep the woman from being robbed by others, in fact became the one who took the woman away from him. It was still ringing in his mind those incredible words that crushed his heart in an instant, 'We love each other ....'

The man sighed softly, releasing the turmoil that struck his heart.

"Hey! Assalamu'alaikum ...," a voice shocked him. The man looked at the origin of the sound. Kiran came out of Radit's room and stepped closer to him.

"Wa'alaikumussaam" he replied.

After the divorce order came out from the mouth of Mama Ariana, Mr. Mahesa immediately invited his wife and his eldest son to speak in his study. Ari and Kiran are asked to return to their rooms.

Kiran just briefly goes into her room, tidying up her luggage and Radit then rushes to look for Ari. There were many things Kiran wanted to ask, one of which was the truth of the night.

He had gone to Ari's room to find the man, but the result was nil. The man's room was empty. He was thinking somewhere, and sure enough, the man was just as he thought he was here, on the third-floor balcony.

"You looking for me?" ask Ari.

Kiran nodded, positioning herself to stand beside Ari with her gaze facing the sky, enjoying the abundant expanse of light from the sun that was already crawling up overhead.

"You must have wanted to ask about that night, right?" ari looked at Kiran's face from the side. Really, he was satisfied to see that real face up close. The longing that filled his chest cavity was satisfied instantly.

"I always wondered about that night. There are many doubts and there are many peculiarities. If you don't feel tired, I hope you tell me."

Ari was silent for a moment. His body turned around now looking at Kiran. "If I don't want to?"

"I can ask Radit. But if that's what I know from other people, I don't promise to forgive you for lying to me."

Ari turned around again, staring at the surrounding landscape from the balcony. "Yes, and you know for yourself that I'm afraid of it."

Kiran laughed softly. "You are Ari ...."

"So who do you think I am? The one who claimed to be Ari?" reply Ari again who greeted Kiran with laughter.

"You are now so often smile and laugh ...," continued Ari again. His voice sounds sad.

"You don't like it?"

"of course. Because I'm not the one who caused all that."

"It's all fate, Ari. We as servants can only try, the end result is still God who determines. So is our relationship."

Ari fell silent.

"What about the story that night? I'm still waiting for that from you."

Ari breathed a moment. Feeling claustrophobic about having to say it directly but also not willing if all this should be heard from Kiran from Radit.

***

Mr. Mahesa sat in his study with Mama Ariana sitting next to him. Radit sat in the opposite direction to them.

Mama Ariana showed Radit several sheets of paper with sketches of a woman's face. Sketch of Kiran's face.

"That night Ari fell with her car into the river. He managed to get out of the car, fight the current and swim upstream. Stay away from the few people she had seen at the top. They did not see him swimming upstream at the time because as soon as he managed to get out of the car he sank for a while. While some people were observing the current going downstream. That's where they lost it. After struggling against the current and rising up, Ari was unconscious. After he realized he had lost his memory. All she remembers is this woman's face, Radit. Kiran's face."

Mama Ariana's voice changed. Radit who just heard everything now also felt the same way.

"He always poured this face on the sheets of paper in the house of the man who helped him. Until finally he found his memory and he returned."

"I don't know, Kiran's name was the one she first asked Papa and Mama. Where did he ask Kiran? Is Kiran still waiting for him?"

Radit stared at the sheets with reddened eyes. His heart was unusually full.

"If Big Brother saw how his face was when he asked Papa and Mama, Big Brother could definitely tell if he harbored a huge longing for Kiran. But her smile was gone after Mama and Papa told her about your marriage."

Clear threads began to flow through Mama Ariana's cheeks. "Mama feels guilty, Dit. It was Mama who forced you to get married first. If it wasn't for Mama's coercion, surely Brother and Kiran wouldn't have married. Surely after returning, Ari will not be disappointed as he is now."

Radit threw his body on the back of the sofa. Looking at Mama Ariana with pity. His heart is sad.

"Everything has happened, Ma ..," he said.

"No, Brother. We can still bring back his smile. Your sister's coming back, if you divorce Kiran."

Radit looked at Mr. Mahesa, wanting to ask for a defense from his Papa.

"At first, Papa also disagrees with Mama's idea, Radit.

But after Papa thought, your relationship is also not good, right? Papa's idea for you to honeymoon yesterday even made you fight. Papa could guess it by seeing Kiran go home by herself from there."

"But our relationship has now changed, Pa."

Mr. Mahesa was silent. "Papa also remembered something, Dit. Radit remembers Kamil's story, right? Seeing you guys fighting earlier made Papa remember the story of Kamil and Sandi. Sandi also used to be very respectful to Kamil. But once Kamil has a relationship with Rina, his attitude towards Kamil changes drastically. Papa is worried, Ari will change like Sandi. Papa doesn't want your relationship to be like that. Radit must be able to sense Ari's own change now."

"But all ...."

"Understand, Brother. You can find another woman, brother. With the advantages that Big Brother has, all of that will be easy for Brother. While Ari does need Kiran," cut Mama Ariana.

Radit gave a disappointed smile.

"Ari loves him, Radit. Brother's sister loves him. Her love for Kiran is longer than your relationship with Kiran. She's been in love since she first saw Kiran.

"Then, if Radit says that Kiran and Radit have loved each other since we were kids, will Mama support us?"

"Wait, Dit!" sela Mr. Mahesa. "What do you mean Kiran was indeed Karina your childhood love?" mr. Mahesa made clear Radit's words.

Master Mahesa looked at his wife softly. "Ma, she's Radit's Karina, Ma. We can't separate them if they love each other."

Mama Ariana shook her head. "No, Pa. Can't be like this. I feel guilty for Ari. Mama felt, Mama's the one who ruined her hope."

"With time, Papa is sure Ari can handle it, Ma."

"No, Pa." Mama Ariana got up close to Radit. "Sir ..., Big Brother can't you, Brother, give in to Ari? Big brother is stronger than him, brother? Big brother can definitely change Kiran's position with another woman. While Ari, he just came back, brother. This fact was too much for him to bear." Mama Ariana held Radit's soft shoulder.

"Ma, this is not a matter of strong or not strong, Ma. It's marriage. There is a strong commitment and bond not only between Radit and Kiran but also God. From the beginning, Radit was guilty of obeying Mama by marrying Kiran with the promise of divorcing her after Ari returned. Radit felt a weakening of the bond of marriage itself. So, don't add Radit's fault, Ma."

Mama Ariana started sobbing. "Sister the same with Ari and Mama, Brother. Big brother could bear to see Brother sister hurt inside because of this. Big brother, though it can actually be said that it was Brother who took Kiran from Ari."

"Oh my God, Mama ...." Mr. Mahesa rubbed his face.

"Astaghfirullah, Mama. This is not a matter of heart or heart. We're married, Ma. Not just love. All colleagues also know that Radit is Kiran's husband."

"That we can arrange, Brother .... Isn't that right, Pa?"

Mr. Mahesa was silent, unable to answer his wife's request. At first Mr. Mahesa did not agree if there is a divorce because it is related to the high value of marriage coupled with the good name of the family but saw the relationship Radit and Kiran which he thought was not too good, Mr. Mahesa finally agreed to his wife's idea. Because he thought, Radit wanted it too. But hearing that Kiran is Karina, and Radit's keukuhnya maintain the household made Mr. Mahesa so think twice to approve his wife.

"Well, if Radit's ready. Does Kiran want to too? He has feelings too, Mom. Kiran it's not a rotating trophy that we can just move."

"Kalo Kiran is easy, brother. All this time he's been telling me what Mama said."

"Ma!"

"Sister!"

"It's a wedding, Ma. My mother could not understand this problem. It's not that easy, Ma."

"Mom understands. But your sister, brother. He just returned from his death. Mama can't imagine if we take her happiness."

Radit was silent for a moment. Nailed his gaze on Mama Ariana's face. "If Radit was in Ari's position, would you defend Radit like this?"

Mama Ariana.

"Radit sure is not, Ma. Mama wouldn't have been like this if our positions were different."

"You know for yourself, brother, you two are different too. You are stronger and wiser than your brother."

"Yes, and she looks more like Mama than Radit!"

"Sister, that's not ...."

"Never mind, Ma. Once upon a time Mama did not distinguish Mama's affection for the two of us. Once upon a time, Mama also observed Radit. Once, Mama defended Radit. Once, Ma ...."

"It's not so, Brother ...."

"Mama can never, right? And my mom would never be. Mama always loved Ari more than Radit."

"Kak .., Mama understands you and Mama understands Ari. You're more independent, son. Ari still needs Mama.

You don't really need your mom, do you? You can never be a good mom to you. Since long ago, you always preferred Papa over Mama."

"Mama and Papa Radit's parents. If you think, Radit chose Papa at that time because he preferred Papa, Mama was wrong. Radit chose Papa because Radit believed Ari would choose Mama. So Radit must be on Papa's side for Mama and Papa to reunite."

"Ma .., once ..., think about this issue without ever taking sides. The fact is we're married. And Ari has to be patient about it. He has to mature himself, understand himself that not everything we want we can get. He has to learn, Ma."

"But he's in a bad psychic condition, brother. He just came back."

"There's no reason for that."

"Sister!"

"Mama!"

"Roman!" sela Mr. Mahesa. Although he felt that what Radit said was true but he also did not like his eldest son was high-pitched to his wife.

Radit was silent for a moment. "You want Mama forced like anything, Radit will never divorce Kiran unless Kiran herself asks for it. But, if it happened because Mama forced him ...," a moment of silence, "then Radit not only lost his wife but this family will also lose Radit Makarim," he said.

"Radrite! What do you mean?!"

Radit did not answer. The man gave a smile. "Radit went back to the room, Ma ..., Pa ...."

"Radit, wait!"

I have no idea what Mama Ariana calls. But his steps stopped as a hand held him.

"Papa will persuade Mama. Forgive us, son."

"Yes, Pa. Thank you" he said back up.
