"Andu," his inner self when he saw the name on the screen.
"Who's Ma'am?"
"Friends" replied Asih nervously. "Mom pick up the phone for a minute."
"Yes, Mom." Dinda nodded.
Asih got up from the chair, a little further away from Dinda.
"What's Danu calling." His mind that directly brought the flat object closer to his ear.

*****
For a second his face changed. Between anxiety, sadness, and fear. That flat object he dropped from his earlobe. His gaze was suddenly empty and glaring.
For a second his head turned towards Dinda who was still sitting on the chair. Staring at her beautiful night without stars and moon.
Asih looked down sad, while wiping the screen of his phone.
"Mother," call Dinda making Asih look up.
Asih gave a smile and walked closer to Dinda.
"What's wrong, ma'am? Who's on the phone?"
Just be quiet. Still hesitant to say it.
"Oh my god, what should I do whether I should say it or not" he said in his heart.
"Mom!" Dinda called back. He threw his breath heavy. There is something to say but it feels heavy and hard to say.
"Dinda, are you sure you don't care about your dad anymore?"
"Why do you ask like that?"
"Mom doesn't want you to be as sorry as Mom. Who takes decisions unilaterally without listening to the explanation first."
"Mom said what's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this."
Staring at Dinda closely. Her tears began to grow and teary.
"Mom got word that your father is being critical."
"Critical! You mean you're sick?" Asih nodded sadly.
"What do we care about Mom. Dad never cared about us either. Let it be, after all there are still children and his wife, right."
Dinda took her eyes off the stare. The resentment and disappointment had not disappeared in his heart. However, from the look of his eyes was a look of anxiety, worry. He still cares about his father.
"That's not true Dinda. Your father still cares about you. Home, company, and everything you have right now is a gift from him."
Dinda was quite surprised. His suspicions were finally answered. The house he lives in, the car he owns and the company he works for is a gift from his father not his grandfather.
Asih had lied to him that was what Dinda thought.
"What did Mom say! My mother lied to me all along. Mom said it was all grandfather's gift but it turned out it was all that man's gift!"
Dinda suddenly emotional.
"Did Mom forget what she's been doing all this time. I left mom for that woman. And Mother easily accepted the gift. Why did Mom's heart suddenly change."
"Dinda listen to me first." Asih's hand tried to grab Dinda's hand to calm her down. "Mother regrets not having listened to your father's explanation. I just assume everything you see is true, and only see your father's fault."
"So you're sorry now? I was wrong to remarry another woman. I betrayed Mom. Mom used to really hate her why is it that now your heart is turning? What father said! Who called Mom earlier."
"Your father's in the trap son, he's completely innocent and just a victim." The Asih sound is a little heavy in addition to the crying accompaniment.
"What do you mean by mother?" Dinda was confused by everything Asih said.
Asih also said his talks with Danu on a phone connection.
"What's Danu calling." His mind that directly brought the flat object closer to his ear.
"Hello," said Asih when the phone connection is connected.
"Mr Asih, sorry I interrupted your night. But this is very important."
"What's wrong?"
"Sir Fras, go to the hospital. He is currently critical."
"Why can? What happened to her?"
He could not hide his worry. Fras was the man who had filled his heart.
"Sir Fras, got heart disease when he found out the truth." Danu.
"The truth! What truth?" Asih felt astonished.
Danu's breathing was so heavy. Asih can hear it.
"The truth .. that Velove is not his biological son. And Ms. Rita had lied to him and trapped him in the past."
"Andu, I really don't understand."
"It's hard to explain. I've said before that Velove is not Fras' son, and has no right to be heir. That's why I'm asking you to convince Dinda to sign the beneficiary. Because there's something I'm worried about like this right now."
Still faithful listening.
"There's something you don't know, there's a lie behind your husband's marriage in the past. They married not because they love each other, but because Mr. Fras was trapped so demanded to marry Bu Rita."
Danu told him what Fras told him. The moment Fras meets Rita, she ends up in a room and is asked to marry him.
"Sir Fras in the trap. He just wanted to help but unfortunately, his good intentions were misunderstood. Someone beat him up and ended up in a room that fell asleep with Ms. Rita. But Fras didn't do anything to her. And Rita takes advantage of the situation, which accuses Fras of being the man who had impregnated her. With the threat of destroying his career. He had to marry her."
Stupefied, his mouth gaping wide. A reality he had only known after twenty years. His body suddenly suffocated, his heart trembling violently. His breath felt tight, even tears could not be contained.
The regret now felt. Wh why? How foolish is she who does not believe in her own husband. And instead left without listening to his explanation first.
But in vain, regret is meaningless at this time.
"And because of that fact Mr. Fras was in shock, and his heart attack relapsed. Until now Mr. Fras, has not realized in a critical condition. I hope you and Dinda can come to visit. And I can't leave because his life might be threatened."
"You mean?"
"Rita was very much expecting his death. All he wanted was to control his entire fortune. So I beg Dinda to take care of the company he leads at this time. Don't let all his assets fall on the wrong person."
"If the Asih is ready. Come to jakarta hospital. I hope you'll come and I'll wait for you."
The phone connection is closed. Danu hung up on her phone.
Flashback Off
Dinda fell silent after listening to Asih's words, about the truth, in the past and the current state of Fras.
Dinda still said nothing. His feelings are still worried at the moment. Between disappointed, angry, yet anxious at his father's current state.
"Dinda, you heard! what did Mom say?"
Dinda was silent.
"We better bury them in hatred, vengeance and anger. We open our hearts to forgive. It doesn't mean we live on holding grudges."
"Again, if you mate and marry again. You must remember if you need her as your guardian."
...----------------...
May Dinda forgive Fras.
We live do not hold a grudge, must be sincere and let go. Because holding a grudge is not good and will hurt eventually.
