Kania can't just close her eyes. Although the night was late, Fatih and Anika had now slept with him in the same bed. After firmly rejecting Niko's desire to stay there, but Kania is now defeated because she does not want Fatih confused to see him and Niko fighting each other.
The mother of two was lying down uncomfortably. But his eyes implied a happy twinkle when he saw, Fatih was sleeping on the side close to the wall, while Anika was in the middle between herself and Fatih.
Downstairs, Niko slept soundly wearing only a folding mat covered in sarongs. Can Kania make sure, tomorrow Niko's body will ache. However, Kania did not want to show his concern and make Niko big head later. Even now, her hands were itching to cover her husband's body that was drooping downstairs.
Time has shown the early hours. And Niko's subtle snoring still sounded melodious in Kania's ears.Yes god, it has been a long time in the span of a year, Kania desperately brushed aside the shadows and everything related to her husband. But now it turns out that not the slightest taste of heart palpitations that are so great, lost and eroded by time.
Until Kania decided to get up and head to the kitchen to do whatever she wanted to do.
"Where are you going?".
Niko's hoarse voice managed to stop Kania who was about to open the room door.
"It's none of your business".
Ketus Kania without looking at Niko and opening the door. How surprised Kania when she saw her mom asleep on the sofa, while Fandy, the man enjoyed a cup of coffee in the living room.
"Cania..... Where are you going, son?"
Ask Fandy softly. His smile was perfect even though his eyes were exhausted.
"To the back".
"After that, rest again. Don't leave Anika for long."
Without answering, Kania passed by. His heart was crushed, actually, when he saw his mother sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
Upon arriving at the back, Kania suddenly remembered the fate of Sila who had been rampaging due to being ignored by Niko, in the car alone, too. In that case, Kania did not blame Sila. Surely Niko justifies all means to suppress Sila.
"Why don't you go back inside? No more sleep?"
Fandy suddenly appears and surprises Kania.
"Not sleepy".
Firmly Fandy, make Kania want to not want to, according to because they do not want to make a scene early in the morning like this.
Upon arrival in the car, Fandy just kept quiet and looked at his daughter from the front rearview mirror.
"Conscious papa, Kania ..... No matter how hard you try to control yourself, you are just an ordinary human being. Papa was wrong, papa knows that. But remember one thing son, there is no parent who does not lose when away from his child, especially for up to a year. Papa won't make you sorry papa. Papa just hopes you listen to what you're gonna tell me about you".
Kania did not answer. Tears that had previously spilled, now seemed dry and entered a long dry season.
Inevitably, he decided to hear what Papa was going to say.
"First, when your mother was pregnant with Kenan, papa had made the mistake of remarrying papa's lover. Say, papa asshole. But what papa did at that time, is a form of papa affection for papa's ex-lover. Don't ask why, because papa and mama are in a match".
Fandy paused his story. Exhaling his breath rough. Given the foolishness in his past, Fandy is left in the throes of deep regret and guilt towards his wife.
"Your mother left because of the mistakes papa made repeatedly. Leaving papa in a state of old pregnancy and making papa a fool. Until the age of your mas stepped on the numbers. about four years, then the mother was rediscovered with papa.
Since then, my love and guilt for your brother has become deeper and harder to control. From birth to the age of four, papa misses his developmental period.
Pardon papa, son..pardon papa......."
Fandy who had been trying hard, now finally his tears, collapsed.
"I'm sorry papa if during this time you seem more defensive and love him in your appeal. Your position in your heart remains the same. Same with papa's son. There is no intention of papa to differentiate you and your brother, son. Papa, dear, I love you so much. You have a right to be angry. Punish your father, mother, brother, and husband. But if you may ask, even for the last request, do not punish your children. They are innocent. Don't make them lose the affection of one of their parents.
Niko is a good husband. The mistake of having ignored you, was that papa was suppressing him. Keep him, 'cause he's a loyal and sincere man who loves you. Unlike your papa this is a real bastard in the past."
Kania was stunned to hear papa's words that were so heart-slicing. Is it true that Niko is a faithful husband? Kania's heart suddenly warms, though she still has the ambition not to forgive Niko immediately. He will teach Niko a lesson because he has ignored it, so that in the future, Niko does not repeat the same mistake.
"Do you also want to hear, a story about Niko who was almost crazy after you left?".
Again, Kania was surprised at the moments after his departure.
