After the arrival of Aunt Lista, Mira becomes curious as to what her family's past really looks like? Even so, Mira tried to be quiet. He chose to wait for the right moment when his parents would tell him everything.
A few days later, Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham returned to visit Mira's residence. The goal this time is certainly to explain how the actual condition.
"Mira, can Mama and Papa talk for a second?" ask Mama Marsha.
"Yes, I can, Ma."
Now in the living room are Mama Marsha, Papa Abraham, Mira, Elkan, and Marvel. According to Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham better both his children also know how the past parents used to be. Not to hide the past, it's just that Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham waited when the children could and could draw conclusions as adults, not as children anymore.
"Listen to Mama, Mira and Marvel, Mama and Papa's children" said Mama Marsha.
Now Mira and Marvel are both paying close attention to Mom and Dad. Won't interrupt. As a child both chose to sit still and listen first.
"Here, Mama was married to a man who worked as an actor, can be said to be the king of stripping in his day. Mama and Melvin Andrian's marriage did not last long. Our home life is full of tears and infidelity. Until Mama became a victim of KDRT at that time, then Mama decided to sue for divorce. In the process of divorce, Mama met with the figure of Mama's first love. First lover when Mama hasn't been to the Capital, she's your Papa. Mama is also not a saint, Mama also had a forbidden relationship with your father. Until finally, Mama divorced, after the iddah period, your father married Mama. While with ex-husband Mama was in a relationship with Aunt Lista who was none other than Mama Bagas."
Up here Mama Marsha paused her story. While Mira and Marvel begin to think that the relationship of the past is very strange. Hearing the story of a household full of intrigue.
"Little story, Mama who was married to Papa lived a happy life and gave birth to a little daughter that we named Miranda. Then, the problem came back and apparently Mama's ex-husband was your Papa's younger brother, Papamu and Om Melvin was a different sister's sister Mother. You certainly still remember, Papa Abraham is the son of Almarhumah Granny Diah, while Om Melvin is the son of Almarhumah Grandma Saras. Both were born of one father. Until finally Om Melvin related to the legal case that made him inhabit the iron bars until the end of his life. Om Melvin is in a relationship with Aunt Lista, so if it's true that Bagas is the son of the late Om Melvin, so you guys mingle with Bagas. Forgive Mama who just revealed it now. Forgive my sinful past. However, you should know that Mama does not want to defend herself. This is your Mama as she is" explained Mama Marsha.
"What kind of forbidden relationship with Papa, Ma?" ask Mira now.
"Mama felt the love in Mama's heart for your Papa back in bloom when Mama was not officially divorced. Isn't that off limits?" ask Mama Marsha.
Mira and Marvel look at each other now. Actually both are taught the meaning of honesty of parents who do not hide anything. Mira and Marvel were surprised.
"Is Aunt Lista married to the late Om Melvin?" ask Marvel now.
It is Papa Abraham's turn to give the answer. "To the best of our knowledge, and Grandma Saras's late home, was never a marriage between the deceased and Aunt Lista. So, you know now."
"If there is no marriage, can the validity of Bagas as the son of the late Om Melvin be proved?" ask Mira.
"Mama might believe it, Mira. Because, Mama saw for herself and caught the two related together in the apartment. So, it's true that Bagas was the son of the deceased."
Mama Marsha has seen what happened in the apartment between the late Melvin Andrian and Aunt Lista. Therefore, Mama Marsha believes that Bagas may be the true son of Melvin Andrian.
Elkan who had been silent since then now nodded his head. "Yes, I already know, Mira. Bagas told me himself that he was his son the late Om Melvin. I asked Mama and Papa. At that time, I did not tell because I considered you after giving birth and gave ASI to Twins A. I'm thinking about the stability of your emotions and your condition."
Not just an alibi. However, Elkan was earnest that he considered those two things. Now, Elkan can also be honest with Mira.
"Shouldn't hide anything from me, sister," said Mira.
If her parents bury past meetings could be Mira maklumi. However, as a wife of course Mira wants to know what her husband is facing. Can be friends in joy and sorrow. Although Mira also knew all this must be for her.
"I'm sorry, Honey. I'm just trying to prioritize you. I'm trying to get you to focus on Twins A" Elkan replied.
"I'm focused on Aryan and Aaliya, but I don't know what my husband is going through. The problem at Coffee Bay and his attitude Bagas I don't know. Though I was told enough, Brother," replied Mira.
"Mira, according to Papa all men will think and have considerations like Elkan. You after giving birth and giving ASI. Your puerperium is not finished. If you are stressed and heavy-minded the puerperium can get longer. Try to understand your husband's condition" Papa Abraham said.
"It's not so, Pa. When Mira's own husband has a problem and Mira doesn't know anything makes Mira sad. Shouldn't husbands and wives be open to each other? Strengthen each other when one of them is weak? While Mira thinks everything is fine," Mira replies.
"I'm sorry, Honey."
"I'm sorry Mama and Papa are also Mira and Marvel" said Mama Marsha.
Marvel finally nodded his head. "Marvel can understand and forgive, Ma. Everyone has a past, everyone even has a black hole in his life. Marvel thanks you for being honest with Mama and Papa."
After that, Marvel glanced at her brother who was still crying. Then Marvel patted Mira on the shoulder.
"We learn from our parents, brother. The past may one day be redundant. Don't be mad at Mama and Papa, and don't be mad at Sister El. Maybe if Marvel were in the position of El's sister, Marvel would do the same."
It looks like a mature and wise Marvel figure uncovers an event that occurred. Mira finally nodded her head as well.
"Thank you for the story, Ma" he said. Then Mira glanced at her husband. "Other times, don't hide anything, brother. We can share anything, right?"
Elkan then nodded. He held his wife's hand tightly. " Yes, Honey. Now nothing is hidden. I'll be honest and open with you. Sorry," reply Elkan.
Mama Marsha shed tears. It takes a big heart to open the veil of a bad past. It took a lot of heart from both of his children to listen to his parents' stories. Now that everything is open, more than that the understanding attitude of her two children makes Mama Marsha feel touched.
