Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Forgiveness Doesn't Mean Accepting It Easily

"Xander, what are you doing here?" The question just slid from Tania's lips after a moment of silence between them.

Xander cleared his throat before replying to his ex-wife's question. He is still devastated by the attitude displayed by Arsenio. "I'm sorry if my presence bothers you. I came here just to see Arsen and apologize to him."

Still staring intently at the figure before him. Highlight Arsenio's eyes like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey that very second. "Why apologize to me? If you want, you should apologize to Mama because Om made a lot of mistakes with her, not even me."

Again and again Arsenio's words sound so spicy as level 10. Every word that was said felt so painful. Which father's heart will not be broken when in front of the eyes see for themselves how the attitude of the prince seems to show an expression of dislike to him. Maybe this is a punishment because he once said that Arsenio was a child born from a forbidden relationship.

Xander's eyes opened after a moment of silence enjoying each knife thrust into his heart. Looking nanar and meaningful at Tania. Inwardly said, 'Is this a fitting reply to me for ever doubting your chastity when we married first?'

This leads to guilt in Tania because after her meeting with Xander, she has not told her that what happened between them is just a misunderstanding.

Tania placed both knees on the floor. His right hand stretched forward, gently rubbing the jet-black strands of his son. "Honey, you can't do that to older people. Om Xander was tired of coming here to see us, but was not welcomed with a friendly."

"For what kindly same bad people? People like Om Xander and Aunt Lidya don't need to be respected. They never appreciate other people so why do we appreciate them," Check Arsenio, make Xander's heart feel squeezed by invisible hands.

"But Om Xander apologized to Mama. So you should be willing to forgive her too, huh?" Tania was still trying to melt Arsenio's hard heart by saying softly while rubbing the top of her son's head.

Arsenio's forehead wrinkled at Tania's words. Apologizing? When is the unlucky son of a bitch his own birth father apologizing to his mother? Why didn't his mother tell him?

As if understanding what was in Arsenio's head, Tania said, "We better get in, Mama will tell you everything." Tania rubbed Arsenio's cheek.

Arsenio's lips were bent forward when she heard her mother's answer. "Okey, fine! But don't be long! I don't want to be late for school because the evil Om came here." After saying that he stomped his feet on the floor as a burst of his frustration, then walked quickly into the room.

Tania shook her head as she stared at the tiny body disappearing from sight. Then, she again looked at the figure of her ex-husband who was still loyal standing at the door.

"Come in! I'll make you some coffee while I waitz I give Arsen a little understanding. Yesterday I didn't talk to Arsen because I was too busy taking care of work."

Tania shifts her body to allow Xander to enter the apartment. Although the pain was still there, but he could not let the guests who came to visit continue to stand for too long.

Xander walks after Tania, down the modest apartment unit of his ex-wife. The apartment unit is not too broad only measuring approximately 30 m2, but neatly arranged and of course very comfortable. Tania is good at arranging household furniture to be unsightly.

When they arrived at the living room, Tania did not find the whereabouts of her beloved son. Apparently Arsenio was sitting on the edge of her bedroom bed. He could see clearly what Arsenio was doing from the gap of the door that was not tightly closed. The little boy's lips were still bent almost parallel to his pointed nose.

"Mbak Surti, please make some coffee for Mr. Xander. The temperature of the hot water is not too hot because usually he will immediately taste the taste after the coffee cup has been placed on the table" Tania told Surti. It just so happened that Surti had just come out of Arsenio's room just after all his work was done.

Surti's eyes immediately fell on the handsome man in front of him. Without even being told she could already guess that the man was Tania's ex-husband.

Surti. "Good, Mom! I'll make it as your mother asks." After retreating from the front of Tania, he walked towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Arsenio was still sitting sweetly on her soft bed. Next to his right hand hugged a giraffe doll given by Ayra-her school friends while still in Yogyakarta.

The handsome chocolate ice cream boy looked up at his head when he heard the creaking of the open door followed by Tania who entered his room. The young lady smiled broadly at him.

Tania crouched down with both hands grabbing the little finger of her beloved child. "Darling, can Mama talk now?" ask before starting the conversation. Just in case who knows Arsenio is not ready to hear the story.

"Tell me, I'll hear it" said Arsenio staring at Tania with a frown.

There was a rough breath coming from Tania. It is difficult to give understanding to Arsenio especially Xander has incised a deep enough wound on the fruit of their love. However, he will try to clear up any misunderstandings between them.

"Yesterday Om Xander met Mama at the office. At first Mama refused as she asked for time to chat together. However, because there was something important to say finally Mama agreed and we sat together at a cafe near the company. That opportunity Om Xander uses as well as possible. He apologized and regretted his actions."

"The incident that befell Mama and Om Xander was purely due to a misunderstanding. At that time Om Xander did not know that there was you in the stomach because Mama deliberately did not tell him. Mama has a reason why you can't tell Om Xander or Grandpa Jo about you in your stomach, but you can't tell me why." Tania rubbed both of Arsenio's cheeks red as if wearing a blush on her right and left cheeks. "Sometimes when you grow up, you'll know what causes you to part with your father. For now, you don't want to be overwhelmed by adult problems. Let us keep it to ourselves until you are old enough and understand why your Mama and Papa divorced."

"Then, did you forgive that evil Om so much after the suffering we've been through?"

Landing his crazy, dense and stuffy butt next to Arsenio. "Of course! I have no reason to forgive Xander. Om Xander has admitted his mistake and apologized to Mama. After all, does not God always forgive the mistakes of His servants? So, why do you not want to forgive Om Xander when Mama is just a human being, a creature created by God."

Tania painstakingly carried Arsenio's body onto her lap, holding her beloved child until their bodies touched each other. "You know you're still angry with Om Xander, but at least learn to forgive others. After all, Om Xander is your real Papa, a person to be respected other than Mama and Grandpa Jo."

"But ... How about that nasty Om hurt Mama again?" asked Arsenio while clutching the giraffe doll very tightly. There is a concern in the little boy that Xander is back to hurt Tania for the umpteenth time.

Tania rubbed the top of Arsenio's head and landed a kiss full of love. "Mama believes in Om Xander, if he won't hurt Mama again. Even if that happens, Mama will be able to tell you directly and Mama is sure you must immediately teach her the same lesson as before. Using your cleverness to hack into the company's security system, create a virus that almost makes V Pramono's company go bankrupt." The beautiful woman in white like milk chuckles softly when imagining how busy the entire company IT team is when faced with an attack launched by a beloved child. Deep down, the deepest of hearts feel proud because the hacker Little B, famous for the I Hate You virus, Dad, is his own flesh and blood. Some of his blood was flowing in the genius boy's body.

A fist raised into the air, then smacked it gently into the chest. "Arsen fight! They dare to mess around, my virus will be everywhere." Arsenio chuckled at her mother with sparkling eyes. Proud of his ability.

"So, the conclusion .. will you forgive Om Xander?" asked Tania with anxious expectation.

Arsenio nodded her head quickly. "Sure! But I won't easily accept evil om as my Papa."
