Magic Love
Surprised

...***...

Aruna was at her papa's house until noon. Since it is a holiday, Aruna does not go to the office. There was nothing important that her father would talk about after Aruna asked about it. Surya accidentally called Aruna because the girl had not set foot in the main house for a long time.

"Aruna wants to go home first, Pa," said Aruna. He did nothing but stay in his room. Luckily Kezia wasn't home. From the morning the woman had gone out of nowhere. If anything, maybe Aruna will be less and less at home. There will be only debate between them.

Surya and Erna who were watching the Badminton Olympic event aired on television turned to Aruna. Then followed the woman's steps until she sat next to her papa.

"Where do you want to go home, honey? This is your house." Erna responded to Aruna's remarks, while Surya refocused on her spectacle.

Aruna glared, feeling saturated with the attitude of her good-natured stepmother. "This is not my house, Auntie. Papa's house," said Aruna.

Erna fell silent, both her eyes glancing towards Surya. "Re, papa said. Call 'ma–ma'!" tell Surya with a pushy tone. His two eyes were still staring straight at the rectangular screen in front of him.

"Maas ...." Erna rebuked Surya while rubbing her husband's shoulder. Her gaze begged that her husband not force Aruna to continue.

"Bah, from now on call me 'Aruna'! I don't want Papa to call me wrong again like that time." Aruna turned the conversation in the other direction. The call 'Rere' was his childhood habit. That name was the affectionate call of her birth mother.

"Don't talk! How long were you cold to your mom? Examples of Kezia's attitude! He always respects the old man." Surya looked at Aruna.

"He's not my mom!" beat Aruna in a high tone. His body stood up immediately. "And Kezia .. continue to praise him! If Papa did forget that Kezia was only a stepson, he was not my older brother" he added in a lower, but stressed, tone.

Surya suddenly looked up with both eyes wide. "Re! Kezia it–"

"Mas!" The atmosphere was a little tense. Erna held Surya's body almost standing. She did not want any more debate between Aruna and her husband.

"At any time I have only one mother. That's Mama Maya. I will never admit this actor as my mother. I won't, Pah!" aruna added again.

Surya's patience was over, then rose from his seat to slap Aruna's cheek, but stopped because he did not have the heart. The hand stopped at a distance of a few inches from the cheek. Aruna closed her eyes, but her body did not move the slightest thing.

Surya lowered his hand in annoyance. If not a daughter, maybe Aruna is finished he beat up. Meanwhile, Erna just stood stiff while smothering her mouth with her palm. Her tears were unstoppable.

"Go from here!" drive Surya to his son. His chest was painful with high blood pressure.

Aruna opened her eyes slowly. Slightly grimaced then sighed harshly. However, even though his body was undaunted, his cheek would definitely hurt if he had a slap.

"Emang wants to go, really." Aruna nodded without permission. Ignoring Erna's call forbidding her from going from there.

However, after she reached her car, Aruna clucked, "Aaargh .. use miss everything, again!"

The small bag that Aruna had brought was left inside. He soon returned to take it. However, after being inside there, he accidentally heard the conversation of Surya and Erna. Their conversation caught Aruna's attention. Makes him curious and decides to steal the hearing behind the walls of the room.

"Until when are you going to hide everything from him, Erna. Just tell me the truth! Let him know what really happened, he and Kezia are–"

"I always try to show my love and affection for Aruna. It seems that my efforts have not been maximized, so he has not been able to forgive me until now. However, I'm sure that the magic power of love is there. If I show more love to Aruna. His magical power will be able to make Aruna's heart can accept me as I am," added Erna again with a soft look.

Surya rubbed his wife's shoulder gently. "But Rere should also know, if Kezia is her biological sister, and actually Maya herself gave up on our marriage. He just wants me to be happy with the person I love and our child."

The deg!

Aruna who heard that was so shocked. His heart seemed to stop beating with both of his eyes being rounded. Aruna held her chest that felt tight. The details of the clear liquid that was held in his eye patch were increasingly urgent.

"But not now, Mom! We'll wait until Aruna accepts me and Kezia for her own sake. I'm sure my affection will change that stance."

"When is Erna? He's been living with us for a long time."

"That's only three years, Mom. He's been living abroad longer than he's staying with us. What, Mom, forgot?" erna's mouth made Surya speechless, then let out a long sigh. He turned his eyes in any direction. Unintentionally his dense netra caught the figure of Aruna who was standing in the door goal while looking at them.

"Rere ...," said Surya. Erna followed her husband's point of view.

"Aruna, honey." Erna got up, she was about to approach Aruna.

"Don't come any closer!" Aruna's stern voice stopped Erna's steps. The middle-aged woman gulped her saliva with a chelate. His face looks worried. Afraid that Aruna would hear everything they were talking about.

"You ... Why come back, son?" ask Erna carefully.

"Did Kezia know?" Aruna asked back.

"Know what, honey?" Although surprised by Aruna's question, Erna tried to be ordinary.

"Don't pretend! I've been through everything. Does Kezia know we're siblings?" Aruna repeated the question.

Surya and Erna froze in place. They are confused as to what to say. Everything they wanted to explain Aruna heard.

"Kezia doesn't know." Surya answered Aruna's question.

Aruna laughed incessantly, keeping both of her eyes from crying. "Why, Pah? Why did Papa lie to us? Papa's afraid Papa's good name is tainted? If Papa really has an affair and has an illegitimate child?"

"Rere!"

"I told you, don't call me 'Rere'! Rere is dead! I hate Papa, I hate you!" peekkik Aruna's. Her tears finally spilled out as well. Then he took a long step towards the chair where his little bag was left behind earlier. After that, he also left.

Erna was about to give chase, but her hand was held back by Surya. "Leave it! Let him ponder over everything!" surya forbids his wife from pursuing Aruna.
