He's my son, not my brother
Daniel's apology
Mother nodded in understanding. "Come in first." Speak with a tone of voice that still sounds friendly. Very different from his feelings at the moment.
"Let's go in, no." Take Zeline and take Daniel's hand and bring him into her house.
Daniel obeyed. When he entered Naina's house, his gaze was immediately fixed on a photo of a teenage girl who looked very geeky with thick glasses and very old clothes attached to her body. Daniel watched the photo for a long time. The woman in the picture is the woman he has played with his heart and feelings. Agh, that's not all. He even ruined the woman until she became pregnant out of wedlock.
"Nai's not. Inda tantik." Zeline said as she stared at Naina's photo.
Mom also looked at her daughter's photo. Naina who used to be very different from her daughter Naina today. The beauty that his daughter has now been seen with the disappearance of the cupu impression in her.
"Please sit down." Mother said to Daniel who was still faithful to pay attention to the photo of his daughter.
"Thank you, Auntie." Daniel replies and sits on the couch.
"Zel wants to sit here too." Zeline who felt the difficulty to climb onto the sofa also made a sound.
Mom shook her head but smiled. "Let's go up." Mom said, then helped her grandson sit on the sofa because Zeline was closer to him.
"Is Uncle home, Auntie?" Daniel asked because he hadn't seen Naina's father since.
"There was. Looks like we'll be out of the room in a minute." Reply Mother.
Daniel nodded. "There's something I want to tell my aunt and uncle." Said Daniel.
"Wait a minute. Auntie's gonna call Uncle in his room first." Mom said and got up from her seat.
"Talkala with Dad, huh? Do you know Zel's father?" Asked Zeline as usual in an indistinct tone.
"Know. This is gonna talk to me." Daniel replied with a smile. But in contrast to his current heart that feels very sick to hear his daughter calling the man who should be his brother to be his father.
"Zeline.. Come with me. Zel played in Mara's room, yeah." Mother said as she did not want Zeline to hear their conversation.
"You're here, Mom." Reject Zeline.
"Zels..." Mom shakes.
Zeline's lips instantly pursed. "Yes. This Ndong, Mom." She said and spread her hands to Mom.
Mom immediately carried Zeline and took her into Amara's room, after leaving Zeline with Amara, she joined the living room with Daniel and her husband.
"So what's important you want to say?" Ask Dad after Mom sits next to him.
Daniel stared intensely at Mom and Dad with guilt clearly visible on his face.
"Auntie... Uncle... I came here to apologize for my past mistakes to Naina." Daniel said without hesitation.
Dad's speechless. So did Mom. Dad's gaze turned inhospitable. Somehow Dad was able to catch something that the man in front of him was about to say would make him furious.
"What mistakes in the past do you mean?" Ask Dad.
"My biggest mistake for having ruined the future of Uncle and Aunt's daughter." Daniel said in the end.
