Tonight Arselo sits alone enjoying a quiet night at his cottage, all the other members of his family had returned to the city this afternoon when Arselo had just returned from the Eti house to help Safira look after their children. Yes even though the three children were smart to take care of him but still Arselo did not fully trust them.
Somehow the conversation Dayyan, Raiyan and ni Eti this morning a little disturbed him.
The flashback
Arselo was intending to approach Dayyan and Raiyan who were helping ni Eti in the kitchen, but when he was just in front of the kitchen door, Arselo had heard the conversation of the three people.
"Ni, why do we have two papas?" ask Dayyan.
"What if you have two papas?" Ask Eti.
"His papa friends only have one, but why do we have two?" ask Raiyan.
Ni Eti smiled with the question of the two boys.
"That's because you're special" Eti replied.
The two boys were so confused that they frowned.
"Is it because we're triplets?" dayyan began to guess.
"Don't you, it's because your mama was married to Papa El before" replied ni Eti.
"Why did Mama and Papa El go their separate ways? And why didn't papa El know us before? Even before we met, but we only called him "Om", and papa also never found out about our whereabouts before" said Raiyan with a moody expression.
Ni Eti felt confused to answer what kind of smart children, there was a sadness that appeared on Raiyan's face when expressing his question earlier.
"There is something that caused the separation of mama and papa El first, now is not the time for you to know the problem. Do you still remember what Papa Abi said back then? That says if you have to keep loving and respecting Papa El no matter what the circumstances. Maybe once papa El made a mistake with mom and you, but now try to give papa a chance to be able to fix the mistake he once made" ni Eti said a little advising the two boys.
"But here, I don't know what to do with Papa El. I'm used to the story of Abi's father, but now Abi's father has stayed with us" Dayyan said, starting to cry again.
"You can tell papa El anything, you can also ask for something with Papa El if there is something you want. Treat papa El as you treat papa Abi" replied ni Eti while stroking the heads of the two children.
"But this, Papa El isn't Papa Abi. How can it be equated?" ask Raiyan.
"Aren't you the closest to Papa El?" dayyan asked her little brother.
"I just like and am comfortable with Papa El" Raiyan replied casually.
"Just the same" Dayyan said.
"Already, don't even make a fuss here. The point is you still have to love and respect Papa El, you have to tell him anything, like you used to tell Papa Abi first" ni Eti said mediate the two brothers' mouths that were just about to start.
Arselo did not meet his two sons this morning. It's nothing, just that his heart was slightly pinched with the conversation his children had earlier.
Flashback off
Given that, Arselo felt sad because in fact his children had not fully accepted his presence.
As Arselo was about to return to his room, his cell phone in his pants pocket rang, he picked up and received the call without seeing his caller ID.
"Hello"
"El, I found information about people who had made a scene at that time" said someone across the street.
"Serious loe? Does this have anything to do with Devi and Vivi?" asked Arselo impatiently.
"Today I went to them at the police station, but they both didn't confess" replied the man.
"Well, who's the guy?" ask Arselo again.
"Gue is still looking into this case, I think this problem is quite complicated and needs to take time. But you calm down, as much as I can finish as soon as possible" replied the man again.
"I look forward to the next news" Arselo said before he decided on the call.
Arselo took a deep breath, at least he felt dizzy with the problems he faced.
"I hope this problem is resolved quickly. I want Sapphira to be relieved of her husband's death" Arselo said.
***
Again Sapphira tonight could not sleep, probably because of the effect of the day he lay, so at night he could not close his eyes.
"I have to what? Why can't I sleep anymore?" safira was annoyed at himself.
Krucuk... krucuk... krucuk.. (just consider the sound of stomach rumbling 🤭🤭🤭).
"Uh, I'm a laper. It's worth it to not be able to sleep" Safira murmured again, despite the fact that Safira was not too hungry.
Sapphira stepped into the kitchen, looking for something to eat. But when he opened the hood, there was no food he wanted. Currently Safira really wants a serving of meatballs that are not too spicy.
"It's only 11pm, but it's like the meatballs aren't here" Safira murmured as she sat in the kitchen bale-bale.
Safira returns to her room to try calling someone, hoping that the person will find what she wants right now.
"I beg... Let's pick up the phone" Safira said quietly as she bit the tip of her fingernails.
Until the third call, the person did not receive a call from him. Sapphira was upset and threw her phone on the bed, crying quietly there.
"Mas, if only you were here, surely you would immediately comply with my request at this time" again and again Safira only remembered her husband.
Until a while later he almost fell asleep, suddenly there was someone who knocked on the door of the house Eti from outside. Safira intended to see it from the window, but it was not visible because the outer lamp was off and had not had time to replace it
"Who's having a night like this?"
