"ASSHOOK!" Purely threw his bag just to the sofa, to make Angga and Arsen who were relaxing to squint, confused.
"Mama why? come around angry? dinner with his friends failed huh?" ask Angga streak.
"No! but it was that selfless child, who had humiliated you earlier in the restaurant!" sahut Murni while throwing his bo*kong into the sofa.
"The child who does not know himself? who did mama mean? Nathan?" Angga squinted his forehead.
"Who else, if not him!"
"Well, is he in the restaurant? she works as a waitress there?" ask Angga again, who inexplicably cares more about knowing about Nathan than about his mother's annoyance.
"If she were a servant, surely mom would laugh at her. He was there having dinner with two of his friends. And just so you know, he paid for their dinner,"
Angga's forehead frowned to hear the words that had just been thrown from his mother's mouth.
"He paid? how can? where would he have the money to eat at such an expensive restaurant?" he said, with his eyebrows linked.
"He said from the sale of his paintings. There are people who buy his paintings at a high price. How good is the painting so it can be bought expensive? I think the one who bought the painting, the dumbest man on earth," said Pure Fieryly.
"Well, Mama was wrong. Nathan's paintings are very good, uh not good, but, very-very good. It seemed like she would be just like Aunt Naura," Arsen opened his voice with a big smile.
Meanwhile, the dumbstruck dragon said nothing.
"You why the hell are you always defending him? and why don't you two, not ask what the kid didn't know himself to mama? is she more important than Mom?" pure Sound had already begun to rise.
"What did he do to my mom?" Angga open the sound again.
"She said in front of the crowd that she had not been the mother who raised her, but the maid. He also said, papa you left mom and chose to marry her because mom is not a wife and mother for both of you,"
"Well, dare he say that too huh? I really salute," instead of being angry, Arsen was amazed
"What do you mean, defend him? mama you humiliated Arsen! you should be angry!"
"You're angry how, Ma. What he said was true. When we were kids, before I married Aunt Naura, I never cared about us. Mama doesn't care, we've eaten or not, what we've been through all day, did you ever care? and it's true that Nathan's upbringing you leave everything to the maid, right? and as long as you know, when you leave, you don't want to take us, Aunt Naura loves us like her own child. Pay attention to every detail of our needs, from eating, clothes, even to know our study schedule, and what we do all day. What about Mama?" Pure immediately fell silent, unable to answer the words of his second son who was always opposite to him.
"ARSEN! watch howyou! don't you realize you're talking to the woman who brought you into this world!" snapped Angga.
"Yes, he was the one who brought me into this world, but I never asked to be born, right? and the matter of mama being humiliated by Nathan, I'm sure it was you who started it first. Because I know that Nathan couldn't have done that, if you hadn't gone too far" Arsen said.
"ARSEN, I said stop ya stop! Just so you know your words have made mama hurt," back Angga snapped.
"Sorry!" arsen. Yes, however, the woman he was talking about was not that good, was his own mother.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"So you're not the woman's real child?" nicholas asked in full search, when the two of them had already arrived at the apartment.
"Yes, Brother!" Nathan nodded his head, confirming.
"Is it for that reason that you got out of the house and decided to live alone?" Nicholas asked again.
Nathan did not answer. The young man still seemed reluctant to open up to Nicholas.
"Aren't you still open to me? when will you cover it up? if you don't want to tell a story, I won't force it, either" Nicholas continued to see doubt in the young man's eyes.
Nathan took a breath and let out a loud bang.
"Yes, Brother. That's one of the reasons I got out of the house. I have two older brothers. We are one papa but different mothers. Starting from small, I was always compared to my two brothers who always boast of their family with all their achievements. Different with me. I never had any support like them. I was as if I didn't exist. That's why I always try to get their attention. I thought that by acting, I would get attention, it turned out that my guess was wrong. I was always scolded and labeled a fool. When, I entered the painting competition and I won, I was very happy and hoped they would be proud," Nathan smiled smirk, "again my guess was wrong. They even say there is nothing to be proud of from winning a painting. For them, the proudest thing is if they can win the Olympics in mathematics, science, and other academic fields," Nathan explained at length without pause, about what happened to him.
"I heard earlier, your stepmom touched on your mama's problem that she said snake woman and actor, is that true?" Nicholas started to pry information.
"Not true at all!" nathan argued emotionally and decisively.
"Where do you know? do you know your mother? what if your mom left you on purpose? do you still consider such a woman a good woman?" nicholas's fishing line is back.
"No! not at all! mama never left me, but she ...." Nathan immediately stopped his words.
"But what is he?" nicholas' eyebrows are linked, waiting for the continuation of Nathan's words.
"I don't know, Brother. The woman who gave birth to me was a good woman,"
"Where do you know he's good?"
"My heart words! I'm pretty sure about that,"
"Have you met him?" Nicholas is back in fishing.
"Already! even I had a close talk with him, but unfortunately he did not know or even forget my existence," said Nathan who unfortunately only dared to say in his heart.
"Nathan, why don't you answer? have you ever met your real mother?" Nicholas repeated his question.
"Not yet!" nathan finally lied.
