"Wamma?"
Oh my God, what other fact is this?
"Em," Ihsan muttered.
"Almarhumah Aruna Dinata?"
"The datas?" my mother was dumbfounded.
"Yes. They're sister seibu. Since infancy, Aruna abandoned her birth mother to her father. As for Aarin, she was the son of the late Bu Maharani with her second husband."
I shove my head weakly. I can't believe this shocking news. "Where do you know? I mean..is this information true?"
Ihsan nodded. "Joe and I checked the data at his TPU office. The tomb was in the name of Maharani Ali Khan, while the family data listed was on behalf of Aarin. When I asked Mas Reza -- did he know the name on the tomb, Mas Reza said that it was the name of the mother of the late Aruna. According to the name they used to have on their family card."
"Okay" I said impatiently. "Keep, what else do you know?"
Ihsan sipped his chocolate milk a lot. "Rilex," he said, "don't strain so."
"Complacant! You alone make the atmosphere tense, Bambang...."
"Pathetic," I murmured. "Is that what makes Aarin hold a grudge?"
Ihsan nodded, then shook his head. "Oh, it could be, yes" said Ihsan. "If based on the chronology, Aarin was still a baby. But his mother just died two years ago, anyway."
My God. My heart grimaces. "Then Aarin, what was his fate when his mother was paralyzed? Who raised him?"
"Himself's mother. Both hands are still working well. Although father... Aarin once said he was abandoned by his father when he was a baby. Maybe because his mother was paralyzed. It could be, right? And as far as Mas Reza was concerned, when his father was alive, he helped them financially. Mas Reza and his mother also only found out after taking care of the account after his father died. They did not know about Aruna's mother after the accident. Especially about Aarin."
I-i understand. As a daughter who knows how difficult life is without a father figure, I know the anger that Aarin feels. I understand the heartache that he takes on himself.
"But Reza is innocent in this. He was a child, only ten years old. He must not have understood what happened at that time. Aye, right?"
Me and Ihsan nodded, we agree with my mother. "But Mas Reza is the only Dinata family left, and now there is me and my children. Maybe that's why Aarin hates me too."
And that made Ihsan feel guilty. "Sorry," he said. "It's my fault. I'm the one who brought Aarin into our neighborhood."
"Oh, it's his destiny. Importantly, it... The heart in there is... Strong, right? Haha!"
Ihsan is acting sick. He held onto his chest and pretended to be tight. "Sick, Bund," she said. "Please find a soul mate who is exactly like Mother."
