EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
92. Blames

The news of Shanum's departure for all eternity, has reached the ears of Juna and his parents who have just set foot in their residence.

Mr. Bayu was at a loss for words, while his wife also blamed Juna.

"We should have seen Shanum first, at least, even though he was born Anton's son, but we were already there, there was no harm if we had seen him and the baby."

The woman spoke with a sad look, it could not be denied if the news of Shanum's death helped make him sad because this disturbed his human soul.

Juna clutched his own head, I don't know, he also wanted to cry right now. Moreover, considering his actions were less pleasant at the end of Shanum's life.

"Help Anton take care of the return of his body. If necessary, you also take care of all the needs in the funeral home," said Pak Bayu advised his son.

Juna shook his head weakly. "I don't know if I can do any of that or not, Pa. Because my status is not Shanum's. I don't deserve that" he said languidly.

"At least, you showed good faith and a sense of condolence."

Juna was silent, before long he got up from his seat and walked lethargic towards the location of his own room.

Arriving at his room, Juna grabbed a cell phone and opened a gallery containing Shanum's photos. All of those photos he kept in one file - hidden all this time - because he used to be afraid of Yara until he found her.

Juna looked at Shanum's cheerful face there, most of his photos were smiling towards the camera and hugging Juna's neck affectionately.

"I'm sorry, Num..." The man sobbed, claustrophobic smashing into the deepest recesses of his heart. In any case, he had spent many days with Shanum. It is undeniable that the woman is one of the closest people in her life. And being abandoned by the closest people feels certainly very stifling soul.

"Sorry, Num. I'm a lot wrong with you," she admitted to having a dialogue of her own-while staring at a picture of Shanum and stroking it.

"Despite my faults with you, I love you, Num. I've been behaving less well with you lately."

Juna's tears dripped unstoppably, he felt extremely unlucky. Abandoned by Yara and now abandoned again by Shanum for all eternity.

Again Juna remembered the karma and the reciprocal punishment for his actions in the past. I don't know what else the punishment will be after this.

Perhaps this was one of the events that could highlight his life, a stern warning from the almighty. Reminding him that everything he has ever achieved, as well as everything he has ever gained - will come a time to be taken at any time and without warning first.

Everything is silent and without a trace. Like Shanum's death that left nothing for him. Even the princess Shanum was born with was not her flesh and blood. All that was left was a shadow of memories and sins - which he felt were very beautiful when done.

Plaque!!

A loud slap was received by Anton today. It was Sharla, Shanum's older sister.

Anton did not reply to his brother-in-law's behavior, as if he was ready to be blamed.

"I can't believe Shanum hasn't lived with you for four months. You kicked her out of pregnancy. Where's your conscience, Anton?"

Anton is silent, he does not want to open the disgrace of the late Shanum. Anton tau Sharla does not know if Shanum has betrayed her. So, Shanum hasn't told his brother anything.

Anton did not want to defend himself, but he did know the location of his mistake. And once again, Anton was unwilling to open Shanum's mistake again because it was painful enough for him to tell it.

"Shanum does not exist now. Shanum's dead, you're satisfied, right?" cynical Sharla.

Anton just lowered his head deeply. I don't know, he doesn't know what to answer to Sharla.

"Sorry, madam. Shanum and I have their own domestic problems that Shanum may not tell the same thing."

Hearing that, Sharla's emotions rose again. He did not have the right to know about his sister's household, but he was also a substitute parent for Shanum. Should he only be told when his sister is lifeless?

"Bak is disappointed with you Anton. You should have taken care of Shanum if you were really her husband."

Sharla snorts with her inexhaustible feelings over Anton's behavior. Anton quietly no longer answered, making Sharla more furious because of it.

Anton was eager to argue, but he did not want to argue in front of the mortuary where Shanum is now. He wanted to take care of Shanum's return well and properly, but because he felt Shanum still had an older brother, he took the initiative to contact Sharla. However, Anton does not expect Sharla's reaction to be this angry even though Anton is ready to blame.

"Why are you silent? So are you really cheating on my sister's back?" asked Sharla who now seemed to challenge Anton to answer her.

"That's right, Ma'am!"

Suddenly someone interrupts Sharla and Anton's conversation there, making the two suddenly look at someone.

"It's true that I told you that there was an affair, but it was done by Ms. Shanum. He's the one who cheated on me behind Mas Anton."

It was Yara who came there along with Sky. She had heard and seen the debate between Sharla and Anton. At first he does not want to interfere, Yara feels Anton can solve this by himself. But, Yara did not accept when Sharla instead accused Anton of cheating. So Yara decided to answer Sharla's curiosity with a reality.

"What do you mean, Yara?" Now Sharla looked at Yara sharply.

Yara smiled wryly. "Actually unethical, yes, I open the disgrace of people who have died. But, I can't accept Mbak blame Anton, because here is the most hurt Anton Mas," he explained.

"Sir..." Anton looked at Yara as if he wanted to stop his sister's sentence, but Yara shook her head firmly.

"So you mean, Shanum's having an affair?" sharla asked with an incredulous smile.

"Yes" said Yara. "And why did Shanum come out of Mas Anton's house, it was by his own choice. Mas Anton expelled Shanum's mother because Shanum's own mother did not choose Mas Anton. So I guess it's natural, yes," he said.

Sharla bobbles head. He could not believe his brother was doing that. Sure oes.

"Mbak Sharla should thank you, give thanks, because Anton still want to take care of the body mbak Shanum. We don't have to debate here, it's not ethical" said Yara, who is used to jutek.

Sky, who heard and witnessed it, could only quietly see the Yara and Sharla debate, because he felt he had no right to interfere. But if Sharla hurts Yara with a physical touch, then she will step in, he thought.

"God, Yara. You know what? Obviously you're defending Anton because he's your brother" Sharla said, grumbling.

"Gosh, Ma'am. I'm defending Anton's body not just because he's my brother. But I'm talking reality, if you don't believe me, you can't ask me the same thing about Shanum, the guy's still alive!" yara said her regret.

Sharla glanced cynically, now her attention was turning to the handsome man standing beside Yara.

"Where's your husband? Why with another man? Or maybe you cheated too. Same with Anton, Yara!"

Sky chuckled to hear it, but he did not want to answer, let it be, he wanted to hear what Yara answered this time.

"Well, yes this is my husband, Ma'am," said Yara who now holds Sky's fingers without hesitation. "But, if what I mean as my husband is Mas Juna, sorry, I've not been with him since he cheated on Shanum" he said calmly, but enough to make Sharla round her eyes wide.

"Yara's? This...what does it mean?"

Anton took a long breath. "God, it's not good to argue here. If you still want to go on, whatever. I want to take care of Shanum's body back first," he said in a voice.

Anton left the hallway of the mortuary. Leaving Yara, Sky and Sharla-who were still in disbelief.

"Sir, I told you earlier, the affair mbak Shanum is still alive. Yes it is, Mas Juna. Ask him if I don't believe my words."

Yara also left Sharla there, she pulled Sky's hand so they immediately moved and did not need to see how Shanum's older brother reacted.
