Lying Above Love
Knows the Truth

The person who came to this house was none other than the first son of Belinda and Sutikno who had been studying in Australia and he decided to return to Indonesia after graduating from university

where he studied all this time. Belinda and Chelsea seemed happy and immediately embraced the figure named Austin, who was, Belinda and Chelsea also said that they are very happy because Austin is back at the moment but Austin seems surprised because he did not find his father in this house.

“Did papa not come home yet?”

Belinda and Chelsea seemed silent for a moment to hear the question from Austin just now and Austin himself could see that there was something strange about the expression shown by his mother and sister.

“What happened?”

Chelsea then told her brother it was better for Austin to just go to the room because at this time he must be tired after a long trip, Austin himself was helped by a housekeeper carrying his suitcase to the temporary room when he arrived in his room, Austin asked Chelsea to speak honestly to him.

“What happened papa and mama?”

Chelsea initially did not want to talk about this with her brother but after a long period of time Chelsea was convinced that inevitably she had to say this to her brother, however Austin was entitled

knowing this.

“Papa and mom are currently on the verge of divorce.”

Austin was surprised by his sister's words, he did not understand why Chelsea said this and Chelsea also explained that his father had been rude to their mother and even their father had an affair with another woman who made Belinda feel sad.

“I didn't lie at all when I said this, I saw with my own two eyes that papa hurt mama and I asked mama to part with papa because I did not want mama tormented again by papa.”

After saying that Chelsea then went from her sister's room to her room with a rumbling feeling.

The next day when Chelsea had left for school, Austin asked his mother to talk briefly about what Chelsea had talked to him about last night. Belinda was surprised to learn that Chelsea had apparently told Austin about the problems that were happening to their family.

“Is everything Chelsea says all true, Ma?”

“Yes, what Chelsea said is all true.”

Austin seemed emotional when he knew the truth, he did not accept that his mother was treated unkindly by his father but Belinda asked Austin to be calm and not be rash especially to make

commotion with the papa.

“But what papa did was brash, Ma.”

“Mama knows that what your father did is unjustified but Mama does not want you to be rude to him, after all he is your father.”

Austin seemed to sigh because of the emotions that peaked at this time, Belinda seemed to smile and rubbed Austin's face to calm the son. He asked Austin not to go anywhere

here and just rest at home because surely Austin is still tired yesterday.

“Mama go first,” Belinda said.

“Iya Ma, be careful on the road.”

Belinda then went out of the house to her car that was waiting in the yard, Belinda seemed to sigh and hope that Austin did not make a fuss with Sutikno later.

“Why are you, son?”

“Why is Papa coming here?”

“Of course because Papa misses you, wait a minute what do you mean Papa came here? This is Papa's house.”

“Didn't Papa spend more time with Papa's affair and never come back to this house? What's Papa coming here for?”

Sutikno seemed furious that he knew who had told Austin about the matter, Sutikno tried to explain everything to Austin but unfortunately Austin did not want to listen to Sutikno and preferred to leave.

“Austin, Papa wants to talk to you.”

But Austin was completely unmoved and walked away from Sutikno, not long after Chelsea appeared at the door and was surprised to find his father in this house.

“You told your sister about our family problem?!”

****

When Belinda got home, he found Chelsea and Sutikno quarreling and Sutikno was about to take a violent turn on Chelsea but fortunately Belinda and Austin arrived just in time until Sutikno was unable to do so.

“What did you do to Chelsea?!” snapped Belinda.

“You and Chelsea are trying to influence Austin's mind so that he hates me, you two really cannot forgive me!” sutikno.

“Better Papa do not need to come again to this house if you just want to make a fuss,” said Austin.

“Austin, please listen to Papa first, Nak.”

“I don't want to hear anything from Papa's mouth, leave now also from this house.”

Sutikno seemed to be holding back his anger and before he left the house, Sutikno told Austin that Belinda was not as good as he thought she was, and Sutikno also said that Belinda was the same as him and he immediately left the house.

“You're okay right?” ask Austin to his sister.

Chelsea nodded her head and then Austin drove her sister to her room while Belinda was seen sitting on the living room sofa, she did not expect when she came home from work instead she had to be confronted

a drama he did not expect.

“Yes Lord, strengthen me against all this.”

Belinda then walked to her room to take a shower and change clothes but she just put her bag on the nightstand, her phone ringing.

Today is a holiday and Hanggara came home to celebrate the arrival of Austin back to Indonesia, Austin seemed happy because he came and congratulated him on his graduation from university. Hanggara himself offered Austin to work for his company but Austin said that he did not want to rush to work first. Meanwhile Belinda herself seemed happy and worried

because it was Hanggara who came to this house, he was happy because Hanggara was close to his two children since childhood but on the other hand he was worried about the response of his two children when they later knew of his forbidden relationship with Hanggara.

“Mama why stay quiet?” chelsea asked, which surprised Belinda.

“Oh, Mama is fine, Nak.”
