Behind The Lies
Seems Bad

After last night's incident, Ganjar's health declined. Last night he could not sleep and kept thinking about Miranti with the man who claimed to be Edgar's father. If he had known for a long time who had impregnated his daughter and ran away from responsibility, he swore he would not let the man live a quiet life or even go as long as he could. Now that things had changed, she could do nothing because she realized one thing that she could no longer interfere in the affairs of her children.

In the morning Miranti came to his father's room to wake him up. Although that morning the new time showed at half six and even the sun had not seen its shadow. But Ganjar never woke up this afternoon.

“Pa,” call Miranti while knocking on the door. However, the father did not reply. “Pa,” call Miranti once again. But there was no sound from within. “Pa.” Finally Miranti opened the door.

He was weak on the bed.

Miranti approached and immediately shook the body of the father. “Pa ..” Ganjar did not respond and it made him panic.

“Edgar,” call Miranti while out of Ganjar room. “Edgar.” However, there is no validity from the child alone wayangnnya.

Miranti goes to Aruna's room.

“Run,” call him panic.

“Yes, Bund?” aruna asked, opening the door.

“Which advice?”

“In the bathroom,” replied Aruna while looking back.

“No time?”

“It looks like a long time ago deh. because Mommy knows for herself that Mas Faran has been in the bathroom, let alone had he complained of stomach pain, must be long.”

“Ya udah.” Miranti rushed into the kitchen while calling out to Yayan. “Yan. Yayan ...”

“Why, Bund?” Aruna soon follows Miranti.

“Opa ngedrop,” said Miranti without turning to Aruna.

“Yan,” screams tight.

“Why, Ma'am?” asked Yayan in shock.

“Prepare the car, we have to take papa to the hospital.”

If Miranti said that, Yayan was sure that something had happened to her master. “Good, Mbak.” He got out and got the car ready.

Meanwhile Aruna immediately returned to the room and knocked on the bathroom door. “Mas, long time, no?”

“Old, duh, I'm heartburn. You use another bathroom.”

Aruna sighed and returned to the kitchen. Miranti looked so panicked.

“Bi, prepare breakfast, take it to the car,” Miranti told Bi Sumi.

“Good, Bu.” Bi Sumi immediately complied with Miranti's orders.

Miranti was really busy, she walked quickly to Edgar's room. “Edgar, help Mr. Yayan lift Opa to car.”

There is no truth from within.

“Edgar.” Miranti pushed the door. He stared at the empty room and the bed that looked so neat. He's pretty sure Edgar left last night.

Miranti sighed and quickly walked out of Edgar's room. He saw Yayan holding Ganjar who was unconscious that morning.

“Be careful, Sir,” Aruna said as she opened the car door. He then turned to look at Miranti who had just come out. “Bund, later I same Mas Faran followed to the hospital.”

“Iya.” Miranti got in the car.

“Bapak why, Mbak?” yayan asked while sitting Ganjar in the back seat right next to Miranti.

“No idea, don't do much, go fast,” says Miranti.

Miranti's attitude this morning made Yayan wonder, as sweet and as worried as anything Miranti will still be kind and friendly, not as ketus as it is today.

Five o'clock past forty minutes, Yayan drove to the hospital. While Miranti was busy calling Edgar, the boy did not answer her even if the call was connected.

Miranti realizes that she has disappointed Edgar. Though he thought Edgar was old enough to understand his circumstances.

“I'm disappointed that Mommy hid this from me.” The words were again ringing in Miranti's ears.

“If Mommy tells you everything, it can change the situation?” ask Miranti last night.

“No, but at least I know what really happened.”

“Iya,” said Edgar was upset. “Mother is always right, and everything you do is right.”

“Gar, please hear Mother.” Miranti asked Edgar to sit next to her. “You know it's the toughest thing you've ever been through. You witnessed for yourself how Ashilla at that time, Mother many times what Ashilla felt. Mother must accept the fact that the father of the baby conceived Mother married another woman. If you feel disappointed, Mother is more than that, Mother feels betrayed.”

Edgar.

“Mother just doesn't want you to live in hatred, that's it.”

 “Continue now?”

“Now what?” You already know the truth.”

Edgar took a breath.

“Now it's up to you. You want to see your father please. Mother will not forbid. You are free enough to do what you want.”

That night Edgar was pensive after hearing Miranti's explanation. And this morning Miranti was pensive to see the situation of the father who sat unconscious, many times the weakly drooping head moved to the right and left along with the speed of the car driven by Yayan.

Miranti has not explained anything to her father. He is very confident Ganjar's health is declining due to last night's events.

“Mbak, what should Mbak Non Ashilla phone?” yayan said as he glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Miranti immediately made a call with the son of her late sister.

“Shill,” call him as soon as his phone is answered.

“Iya, Bund.”

“Opa ngedrop now want to be taken to hospital.”

“Why?”

“No idea, Opa hasn't been sober since. Mother worry.” Miranti looked at her father.

“Bund.” The fret was contagious to Ashilla down the line. “I same Angkasa directly there after dropping off Asa school.”

“Iya. Mother wait.” Miranti closed the call.

Meanwhile, Faran just came out of the bathroom and Aruna was standing at the door. “Why you?” Faran frowned while passing through.

“For a long time,” snorted Aruna annoyed while following the husband who is now sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Kan mas said again mules,” said Faran as he grimaced and held his own stomach.

“Opa ngedrop and hospital admission.”

“Hah? Why didn't you say?” ask Faran while getting up.

“Free, Mas, ‘kan heartburn.”

“Ya let's follow up to the hospital.” Faran.

“I shower first.” Aruna went to the bathroom.

“Nevent need to take a shower.” Faran.

“Notes from.” Aruna closed the bathroom door. Faran was stunned, he felt guilty, must have asked Miranti to check the condition of Ganjar.

“Honey,” call Faran in front of the bathroom door. “So Mother is here?”

“Iya,” shouted Aruna. “Poor Mother busy herself, Brother Edgar does not know where.”

Faran sighed.

“I'm after Mother now, you wait here ya.”

“Ngak. Just delicious. Who do I go with?”

“Iya-iya. Don't be long.”

However, Aruna could not do it quickly, even in a state of panic like now. He could not even abandon his habit of using soap twice, after rinsing the first one, he got used to re-soaping and repeating it like the first.

Faran knew that his wife had the habit a long time ago. He can't change that because Aruna herself doesn't want to get rid of the habit.
