The bitter truth

Arsen repeatedly glanced at the clock attached to the wall and looked outwards. The man was really worried because the clock was already showing at 1 am, but there was no sign that Nathan had gone home.

Arsen decided to lie down on the couch and play the game on his phone while waiting for Nathan to come home.

At the same time, it appears Angga came down from above about to take a drink. His forehead immediately wrinkled to see Arsen lying on the sofa. Meanwhile, outside, Nathan pushes the motor into the yard of the house without starting the engine. The teenage boy deliberately did not turn on the machine, because he did not want the sound of the motorbike to disturb the sleep of the people in the house.

Then, Nathan swung his foot towards the door. When she was about to open the door, she faintly heard the voices of two men whose voices she knew were her two brothers. The man finally decided not to go in and eavesdrop on the conversation.

"What are you doing here? what time is it? should you be sleeping?" ask Angga.

"I'm waiting for Nathan to come home. It's already this hour he hasn't come home yet" Arsen said casually, leaving teenagers out there, feeling touched.

"What are you doing waiting for him? is he just ordinary like this? already, you just enter your room, no need to wait for him," said Angga, while continuing his goal to take a drink.

"I'll keep waiting for Nathan. Whether you like it or not. I couldn't sleep quietly, before I could see that Nathan was coming home all right, "Arsen remained tight-lipped, causing Angga to turn his body around again and look at his sister with a suspicious look.

"Why did you change this so much? since when do you care about a child not knowing yourself?" asked Angga cynically.

" I've been doing it a long time. It's just that Brother, mother and even Nathan himself never knew, because I was waiting for Nathan's return from my balcony. I could never be like my brother and mother who could sleep peacefully, even though Nathan had not come home yet. After I saw her coming home and doing well, I was able to sleep. Now, I don't intend to wait for her on the balcony anymore, but here, because I want her to feel that there's still something dear to her,"

Nathan gasped in shock at Arsen's sister's confession. The young man never thought that Arsen's silence did not mean that his brother did not care about him. Nathan sighed and intended to enter. However, he again undoes his intentions, upon hearing Angga's thundering voice in anger.

"Arsen, are you aware of what you've been doing all this time? did you forget that he was the son of the woman who broke our family?" said Angga with a high voice, to make Nathan's hand that was holding the door task vibrate.

"Sister also do not forget, if Nathan is also the flesh blood of the deceased papa which means our younger siblings too!" reply Arsen with a little mixed emotion.

"Lagian, Nathan is innocent in this. He doesn't know at all, brother. As an older brother, you should feel sorry for him and love him for growing up without a birth mother. Brother also knows Nathan's mother is not wrong at all, all of this is purely our fault, brother. Brother knows clearly, if his mother Nathan does not know, if papa already has a wife before, because papa admitted that he is not married, so the aunt wants to marry papa first. Brother also cannot close his eyes, if Aunt Naura, loves us very much. He always smiled and never got angry even though Big Brother always refused his presence," Arsen continued back, fiery.

Yes, Nathan is the son of a woman named Naura, the second wife of the late Aditya, the father of the three brothers. Murni and Aditya had chosen to divorce because Aditya did not want to divorce Naura who happened to be pregnant with Nathan.

The real Naura only found out that Aditya had lied about his marriage status, initially intending to step down and part with Aditya. However, it seems that God did not allow them to part, as Naura was suddenly pregnant.

"Stay, the presence of the woman had made our father and mother separate, and made the woman who gave birth to us cry," look Angga eyes full of hatred.

"Sister, please open your eyes wide and remember as clearly as possible! are you sure your mom was really sad at the time? I don't think he's sad at all, brother, he's very happy. Try to remember clearly when we whine asking mama to take us with her, mama absolutely does not want, mama, and with the heart he said that we would be a burden for him if we go with him, Brother remember?"

"If so, Mama has explained it and apologized. Mama said those words only because the burden of my mind was very heavy at that time. You should have understood my mother's condition,"

"Oh yeah? like that, huh?" Arsen snorted and grinned cynically. "then why did he never come to see us, whereas papa and Aunt Naura never forbade mama to come? my mom is busy with other guys, sister. And as long as you're not around, Aunt Naura still loves us, right? don't forget about it! she never let us starve like you did. He always put our interests first, rather than his. As long as Brother knows, deep down in my heart, I am so envious of Nathan being able to be born from the womb of a good woman like Aunt Naura," Arsen looked very emotional as he said his words.

"But still she's not our mom, Arsen! at any time, Nathan's mother remains the third person to ever make our family scattered. And I will never forget that" Angga's voice rose again.

"Sister, it's not Aunt Naura that got our family scattered, but mama herself,"

"Haha!" Angga suddenly laughed out loud, making Arsen's brows furrow.

"You're too complimentary, that woman. If she's a fine woman, why would she just disappear? she even left her own child. If no mom raised him, he wouldn't be able to grow as big as he is now,"

Arsen was speechless, unable to answer his brother's words, as he himself was puzzled as to why Naura's mother Nathan disappeared suddenly without news.

"Mama, want to raise Nathan, not because of his wishes, but because that is the main condition given by papa, so that he can return together with papa again," Arsen said, reminding.

"Ok, I admit it, but __"

Brakkk

the door was opened violently by Nathan, as the young man could no longer help himself, hearing the two brothers talk.

"So, I'm not your son? So this is the reason why you've always thought of me as nothing?" nathan's eyes seemed to be teary-eyed withstanding the crying and hunting breath.
