"Hello, son."
Ryan hugs and kisses Arka, while Arka and Amanda and the twins come to visit. After the day before, Arka and Amanda visited Ningsih and stayed there. Ryan hugged Amanda and welcomed her two grandchildren with joy.
"Hello guys." she told the two babies.
"Ehee."
Arka and Amanda take their two babies, following Ryan's steps. Ryan now lives in more houses than his apartment. The reason, of course, is because in this house, has a large enough yard. It can keep some animals such as birds and rabbits. There is also Ansel's cat in the house, which is handled more by Nino than Ansel himself.
"Nino how's dad?" arka asked as they finally sat on the back porch, near the pool. Ryan poured jasmine tea into a glass and also prepared some snacks.
"It's hard" Ryan said as he opened the baby biscuits and gave them to his two grandchildren. Since having grandchildren, he became diligent in buying baby needs. For then he kept it, just in case his grandson came.
"Difficult, you mean?" ask Amanda.
Ryan sighed and sat down before the boy and his daughter-in-law.
"That nino, she's very fragile. From the very first moment we met him."
Ryan looked at Arka and Amanda.
"He was hurt when he met your father, because he knew the story behind his life. How he was born, banished and so on."
Ryan sipped the tea that was in front of him, then sighed rather deeply.
"She was very easy to be sad, yes because of the factors of her adoptive parents who also did not care about her. And always treated him badly. The old man picked up Nino. Because they want the inheritance from the man's parents. And the condition of getting it all, they must have a boy. Once the inheritance can be, they can't manage. They're entangled in narcotics, gambling, nightlife. So they fell into poverty again, and Nino was always the target of their rampage."
Arka and Amanda sighed and held hands. They listened to Ryan carefully.
"Ansel met him at a skateboard club. Daddy forgot his name, we used to live here for a while. Ansel's school here too, because daddy still has to build daddy's business here. At once daddy wants to find you, then daddy bring it to daddy country."
Arka was stunned, he only knew if there was once such an intention in his father.
"Daddy had a plan at the time. If Ningsih does not want to love you to daddy, daddy will kidnap you. Daddy will tell mommy Ansel, if daddy adopts you. Whatever daddy's gonna do, by then. Even though the risk might be daddy caught."
Ryan looked at the boy and his daughter-in-law again.
"Nah Nino, Ansel often told me about him. Ansel said in his skateboard club he, there are members who are always in torture with his parents. Nino often tells stories with close friends and Ansel always eavesdropped on their conversations. Ansel always said that on some occasions. Often Nino it comes, while like holding back pain. When his friends force Nino to talk, he'll show her a blue, bruised body. She said her mother, sometimes her father tortured her. He was told to deliver drugs to his father. If he doesn't, he's beaten. Until Ansel always asked daddy, to invite Nino to stay at our house."
"Keep daddy, daddy agrees?" ask Amanda.
"No, I can't Amanda. At that time it felt too risky. Daddy doesn't know who Nino's father is. If daddy immediately brings him to live with us, his parents are angry. If he knew Ansel was the one who brought him and Ansel was the target, what would it be?"
Arka and Amanda dissolve into the story.
"The hue got angry with daddy. He said,
"Dad, Nino's a kid who's talented in many ways. He can paint, play music, he's smart at school. It's a pity that such a child should live with parents who like devils."
"Daddy couldn't say anything at the time. Until then, the fire happened. Ansel was really angry with daddy. He said,
"Dad, Nino almost died in her house because of her parents. Because daddy won't save her."
"Ansel continued to be angry with daddy, then daddy asked Ansel so he accompanied daddy to visit Nino. At that time he was hospitalized and also handled by a psychiatrist who happened to be the wife of a friend daddy. We talked a lot about Nino's condition at the time. Daddy was sorry to see him too, daddy spoke to his mommy Ansel and his mommy Ansel strongly agreed that Nino stayed with us. So Ansel has a friend who can make him feel at home. At that time also daddy had many acquaintances who could take care of everything quickly. Daddy's work is done, we go home to daddy's country and take Nino."
Amanda remembers the events of that time, where she was looking for Nino but Nino was no longer there. One of Nino's friends said that Nino was a stranger.
Arka took a breath.
"But daddy promised to love Nino like a child. Daddy only hoped that if Ningsih married someone else. The guy can love you both, like daddy loves Nino."
There were tears that soaked the two corners of the three people's eyes. Arka clasped his wife's hand and vice versa.
"Nino hasn't talked to daddy and his mommy Ansel, for weeks. He just wants to talk to Ansel. He is traumatized and afraid of the figure of a father or mother. Even after all these years, he was unwilling to return to this country. Because he'll definitely remember that father and mother."
"Yetoo." Azka and Afka said, Ryan stroked the heads of his two grandchildren and said again.
"People who don't know Nino, might think he's cold, arrogant, arrogant, and so on. But that was all, just to cover her fragile self. At this age alone, he even sometimes still sleeps restlessly, nightmares. Remember when he was tortured by his adoptive parents. And now that the problem is growing, he has to find out who his father and birth mother are. Includes the background and dark story of their past. Honestly daddy is angry with Citra. Why can't he just wait a minute, or tell me slowly. Now that Nino's sick, it's in the room. He's stressed and sad, straight away sick."
"Have you been taken to the doctor, dad?" ask Arka.
"Where would he want. It was eating, taking medicine. If it's not Ansel, don't want to."
"Hallo the hoayaaa." Ansel suddenly appeared from a direction and greeted the babies.
"Yetoo."
"Yetoo."
Both babies were enthusiastic.
"Where are you, Cell?" ask Arka.
"Nih, from buying ijo bean porridge. Nino wants to eat. Dizziness if he's sick, everybody doesn't want to. But what I love, even if he doesn't want, I can't abisin. He said later my elbow throat, sprained?. Though if healthy, until the closet is also eaten with him."
Amanda and Arka laughed a little, amid the sadness of their hearts to hear the story of Nino.
"He's a sixpack so tuh, as a result of eating a tau locker. That's why the boxes."
Arka and Amanda laughed. Ryan also could not be sad for long if he was near Ansel.
"You look at Nino, dad" Amanda told Ryan.
"Yes there already. If you want to eat, eat first. Daddy cooked with Ansel."
"Emang Ansel can cook?" Amanda joking while moving, followed by Arka.
"Ye don't get me wrong, chef Junaedi passed me by."
"Open, your people help peel onions just as milled chilies in a blender" Ryan said.
Arka and Amanda laughed again.
"Yes there to eat" said Ryan.
"Bareng aja, dad." said Arka.
"Daddy same Ansel has eaten, there you guys are."
"Ntar squirms Nino first, dad." said Amanda.
He and Arka then went inside and headed upstairs, to visit Nino. Ansel now interacts with his two nephews.
