Aleya stood fretfully in front of the kitchen counter after successfully calming down her parents. While giving a pause to keep each other's emotions in check, Aleya's hands were busy preparing tea. Now the couple was sitting on the living room sofa while staring intently at Aleya. Wonder what has really happened in the past 15 years.
“The taste may not be like in Indonesia, but please.” Aleya put both cups of tea in front of Krisma and Thomas before the wedding, “I will call the office first.” Without waiting for the consent of the couple, Aleya entered the room. He took his salary and called the chief secretary to report his delay. He also did not forget to send a message to his superiors to give news. He deliberately just left a message because this is the hour to go to work where all his co-workers must be on the way to the office. Aleya who was preparing took off her blazer before exiting the room.
“Actually there is a matter of what makes Father and Mother to Korea, especially without giving news first?” aleya asked as soon as she sat down in front of her parents. Unlike before, Aleya had now regained control of her emotions. His face calmed back down after being shocked previously.
“Do I have to ask your permission first to come here?” krisma's ketus question was only responded to by a smile by Aleya. It had been a long time since he had met his mother until he had forgotten how his mother really was.
“No, it's just, I have to welcome you without any preparation,” Aleya sipped the tea she made.
“Before conveying what our arrival means, can we get a description of what Aleya really is? Who was that young man? Is that your son?” hesitating Thomas asked. However, he still remembered Aleya's condition when she came out of her residence. Although Aleya was only his adopted son, he was still his responsibility. It should not be that the pair of parents threw Aleya away after the accident that happened to her adopted son.
Aleya was very young when she found herself pregnant.18 years old. He was in the 12th grade and preparing for his studies in Korea when the disaster happened to him. Aleya told them that she was pregnant and that it was her foster brother who caused it. The husband and wife did not believe what Aleya was telling them considering that not only was one person with Aleya when the bad incident happened. They advise Aleya to remove her future baby so that her future is not ruined.
Of course Aleya refused.
He is not willing and willing to kill the baby in his stomach. How could Aleya kill the only person who would be her family? Aleya wanted to preserve her content and decided to raise her in Korea as she continued her studies.
That was the last time he met these two people. Although Aleya still had financial support from Thomas and Chrisma, Aleya had never met and was even allowed to return home. All family affairs are always resolved by the secretary who regularly visits him.
“True,” Aleya replied calmly.
“Did you say he's really our grandson? Are you right when you say that the father of the boy is a jagad? Your sister?” The chrism that heard Aleya reply back could not hold back her emotions. He moves to get close to Aleya but is held back by Thomas.
“No. Han Byeol is my son. He is not the son of Kak Jagad,” Aleya replied calmly.
“If he is not a child of Jagad, why is his face like that!” Chrism cannot control itself. Her instincts as a mother just kept giving code that something was wrong. That his feelings are not wrong. There was no way a child born to an adopted child could be so similar to his child when he was young.
“He's not Kak Jagad's son. Never has he been the son of the Sudjojono family,” Aleya stressed. He would drink his tea. Although he looked calm, Aleya was actually so scared that her throat felt so dry and her saliva was bitter.
“Aleya, tell the truth this time as well, before it's too late.” Thomas's remark left Aleya confused.
“Your brother is about to get married, but if it's true that your son is a son of Jagad, we have to cancel that marriage.”.
“Dad don't joke!” Chrism instantly rose blood upon hearing the explanation from her husband. He did not understand why Thomas spoke like that, “No cancellation whatsoever! Face corn will judge with Tamara!”
“But if he is our grandson, how could we ignore him. Aleya had to marry Jagad in order for the father status of the child to be clear. Are you going to let your granddaughter suffer! He must have a father!” Thomas did not want to lose to the opinion of Chrism. He did not want to let his grandson have trouble in the future.
“But the wedding of the Maize is important! I don't want that kid ruining Jagad's future and happiness!” Chrism cannot hold itself back. He now screams and tears at the thought of his son's failed marriage.
“The boy needs a father!”
“Han Byeol has a Dad!” Aleya who read the core of the debate was provoked by her emotions. He shouted to stop the argument that did not involve him and Han Byeol as the main subjects. From the start, it wasn't Aleya and Han Byeol who were the priority of the conversation. It was only their only son that they were worried about.
“What did you say?” search dad. He was unsure of his hearing until he asked Aleya again.
“Han Byeol has a father, you guys don't have to worry about anything about Han Byeol. Just take care of the wedding of Kak Jagad. If there is anything I can help I will be happy to help.” Aleya sincerely said such a thing. He now knows the purpose of his adoptive parents coming all the way to Korea. There would be a big party at home and it would be very strange if Aleya did not return home. The good name of the family will be destroyed if the mass media to kiss Aleya's absence in the big event of her brother.
“What does it mean he has a father? How could he have a father if you hadn't married Aleya?” Thomas did not understand Aleya's thoughts.
“Are you crazy?” Chrisma looked at Aleya in disbelief. Did Korea make his adopted son go crazy? Who wants to marry a stranger who even has children? If that kind of thing only happens in dramas.
“Mom knows I've been crazy for a long time. If I'm not crazy, how could I choose to get pregnant and live in a country of people!” Aleya looked at her mother sharply. He is indeed an adopted child who must always be grateful for what the family has given him. But now he is much more mature to defend and protect himself.
“Aleya!” chrism Tegur.
“All quiet, what do you mean you're married?” Thomas did not want the two to fight any longer. What he needed right now was the clarity of the intent of his daughter's speech.
“Yes, I didn't hear wrong. I'm married!” aleya replied firmly.
