Grasping Longs
Part~94

"You ?" mr. Anggoro looked pale when he saw a thin-bodied teenage boy standing in front of him.

He did not expect that the day he feared the most would finally happen as well.

"Papa promised to come to the dorm, but why haven't Papa come in months. Even my report wasn't shared because Papa didn't exist ?" lamented the teenager who without realizing it appeared a woman who was not far from him was looking at him full of anger.

"He who is Pa, why call you Papa ?" madam Anggoro.

"Ma, Papa can clear everything."

"Clearly what Pa? want to explain he's the kid from your affair? so it's true that Papa's been betraying Mama ?" strangled madam Anggoro with stifled emotions.

"Is that right, Pa ?" this time, Demian opened his voice.

"I'm sorry, Papa." said Mr. Anggoro full of regrets that immediately made his wife and child look disappointed at him.

"You're really outrageous, Pa." Anggoro appeared to throw the baby clothes she was holding towards her husband, then passed away leaving the place.

"Ma..." Mr. Anggoro wanted to chase after his wife, but Demian immediately prevented it.

"We wait for Papa's explanation at home and bring all the children" Demian said then looking at the frightened teenage boy looking at him.

After that Demian immediately came out of the store, chasing the mother who had passed away with his wife.

"I'm sorry Dean, Pa." The teenager, Dean, seemed to feel guilty.

"You're not wrong son, Papa's wrong. I'm sorry for a few months Papa didn't visit you in the dorm." said Mr. Anggoro.

He deliberately did not meet his son from the woman of his past, because he suspected Ariana had begun to know the secret that he had kept a meeting so far.

Meanwhile, Madam Anggoro who had reached her home, seemed to flinch in her chair. The woman seemed so shocked by a reality she had never expected before.

"Ma, drink first." Ariana gave a glass of water to her mother-in-law.

Moments later, Mr. Anggoro and Dean were seen entering the residence.

"Can Papa explain it now ?" demian said impatiently, he did not expect the male figure who became his role model so far could betray his mother. Did his previous mischief also decline from his father?

"Sit down, son." Anggoro ordered then on Dean.

Dean seemed hesitant, especially when looking at Demian and Madam Anggoro who seemed to want to pounce on him right now. But when he looked at his father, he immediately sat himself down.

"Thank you." said politely.

"I'm sorry Papa, maybe Papa's mistake will not be forgiven. But Papa has regretted it so much." said Mr. Anggoro opened his voice.

"Who is that woman ?" ask madam Anggoro coldly.

"Asti." said Mr. Anggoro.

"Asti, Papa's secretary first? so Papa cheated on that village woman ?" pekik madam Anggoro not believe.

Asti is a woman who comes from the village with a standard face according to her and far from the criteria of the husband.

"I'm sorry, Dad." Mr. Anggoro seems to regret his actions.

"Why can you do that Pa, am I less beautiful in Papa's eyes ?" this time madam Anggoro let her tears flow profusely after she had held it before.

Seeing his wife crying, Mr. Anggoro felt very sorry and wanted to hug her, because he had never made her cry before.

But his mistake was so great that it made him feel inappropriate to just touch the woman.

"I'm sorry, Papa, Ma. Papa was khilaf at that time because it was too lulled by the attention of Asti that Papa never got from Mama all this time" said Mr. Anggoro honestly, considering how he used to get more attention from his secretary who over time raises the seeds of love between them.

But because of his guilt for his wife, he immediately ended his affair and fired his secretary.

But without him knowing Asti went to bring a fetus from the fruit of their love, then a year ago he was so surprised when a teenager met him and claimed to be his biological son.

Mr. Anggoro who does not believe it just like that, immediately ordered Victor to find information including doing DNA tests and it turns out that Dean is indeed his biological son.

Madam Anggoro seemed to sigh deeply, although all this time she rarely paid attention to her husband. But that doesn't mean her husband can cheat out there.

She thought that all this time her household was fine, because her husband had never protested with his attitude which he admitted was too indifferent and preferred to be busy with his own activities.

"Are you still together ?" he said it then in a bitter tone.

"Mom's been gone since I gave birth to me." This time Dean who answered him after a long time just flinching in his seat.

They all looked at Dean with surprised eyes, except for Mr. Anggoro who already knew.

"I'm sorry, actually I don't intend to disturb Papa's family or get his confession. Because it was the trust of the late mother, but since the grandmother who took care of me was gone, I felt like a kara in this world. So forgive me if my presence disturbs your family. Maybe after this I will return to the village alone." he said again innocently.

Hearing Dean's words, Madam Anggoro seemed to flinch. Although there was relief in her heart because her husband had left the woman long enough but still the betrayal of the man had hurt her heart.

"No, don't do that. You have every right to live here." chirped Ariana suddenly, for some reason she felt Dean's fate was exactly with Ricko's before. But because of her words, she immediately got a sharp gaze from her husband.

"You will stay in the dormitory and continue to school there Dean, this has been Papa's decision." said Mr Anggoro later.

Dean's nature is really like his mother's, submissive and not much of a protest. Even when he broke off his illicit relationship with the woman, Asti did not protest at him at all.

Even the woman tends to blame herself for her actions that have dared to play fire with her.

"I'm sorry, Asti."

Now Mr. Anggoro can only regret his actions, Asti must have suffered a lot because of her pregnancy to make it stressful and died during giving birth to Dean at that time.

"Mama, want to be alone." Madam Anggoro seemed to rise from her seat and then passed away from there.

While Demian who looked so disappointed also passed away.

And since that incident, Madam Anggoro has locked herself in her room more. There was no face that was polished make up or glamorous makeup, the woman looked pale unkempt.

As well as Demian, the fact that his father betrayed his mother. Making him lazy to meet the man, so he often came home late at night just because he wanted to avoid his father.

But behind his attitude, Ariana feels lonely at this time. Since Demian had been quieting him more and saying as necessary to him, perhaps the man was still angry because of what he had said to Dean. As if he was more defending the child from the results of his father's affair.
