MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
THE EXISTENCE OF MEGA

The sky chuckled as he received a call from Alex that today the man could not come to the office. Today will be very busy. But that's okay, he so have a lot of time alone with the orange even though later it will be his own hassles.

"What's wrong?" Ask the Orange who sits next to the Sky.

The sky turned its head for a second, then refocused on the street before him. He racked his brain to answer the question of Orange, where he might have told the truth, that Mega had not been in the apartment since yesterday afternoon. And now Alex is looking for him.

"Mass?"

"Ah, it's okay. Alex can't get into the office, he's on business." Sky answered, he hoped that Orange would not ask again.

"Rushan? Why do I feel suddenly uncomfortable, did Mega want to give birth?" Ask Orange again, for some reason he became anxious.

The sky shook, "No, it might be a family affair that can't be left behind."

The orange continues to stare at the sky, seeking the truth or lies that the Sky throws. "Is that right?"

The sky nodded, "Right, Orange. Never mind, you better prepare yourself.."

Orange said nothing more, he nodded and sat straight back in the street in front of him.

There is something strange, Alex never absent accompanied the Sky. Moreover, today is a new beginning, both for the Orange and for the Sky. Moreover, the Sky allowed Alex easily.

The sky glanced at Orange as it sounded a long sigh from the woman, "Sorry baby, I can't say it now.." her inner self. He did not want to know if Mega left, besides being able to make Orange sad, it will also interfere with the process of appointment of Orange as CEO today.

Alex opens the apartment door, quiet, silent. That's what feels right now, different when Mega is there. She always greeted him cheerfully and said that she missed him all day.

His gaze circulated, then stopped at the dining table. There is still food that Mega cook and he has not had time to touch. His footsteps swung, approached the dining table and then sat staring at some food menu that must have been cold.

With a chaotic appearance because all night looking for Mega, he took a plate and prepared rice and side dishes. The cold food could not beat the coldness in his heart.

He began to chew, with a blank stare and cheeks wet from tears. Even the food was very difficult he swallowed, it felt tight and sick.

"The food is good, baby. Thank you, whatever you cook, I'll love it. Because you made it with effort and love." he said.

That compliment is what he has not said for a long time and very much missed Mega. "Is it free now to say it? You don't hear it anymore, baby.."

Alex grew sobbing, but even so, he did not stop the chewing in his mouth at all. Until the food on his plate toilet he still sobbed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please go home, come back baby.." The more tears flow, Alex looks more chaotic, messy with swollen eyelids.

Regret always happens at the end, and more regret when it turns out everything is really too late. The woman he loved hurt him.

***

Last night Mega met Sintya, Alex's younger sister who happened to have just returned from her friend's house. Sintya found Mega was walking alone, so Sintya took Mega home with him.

Initially Mega refuses, she is afraid Sintya tells Alex. Sintya even had to promise first to Mega not to tell the whereabouts of the woman to the sister, only Mega would go home and not to her apartment. Although many of the questions that ran through Sintya's mind about Mega's ban told Alex, the girl did not want to ask and interfere much about the brother's household affairs. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he doesn't want to take the wrong action.

"No, Ma. Thank you, mom has allowed me to stay here" said Mega.

Mother nodded, gently rubbing her daughter-in-law's distended stomach. "Is there a problem, son?" tanyakanya.

Mega shook her head, her lips carved a smile, "No problem whatsoever, ma'am. Alex treated me so well, he loved me so much. I'm very happy to have him, especially soon we will have children." explained Mega.

For that explanation, somehow the mother was increasingly convinced that the Mega and Alex household was not good. I think Alex treated her daughter-in-law badly.

"Son, if there's a problem, or there's something you want to tell me, you can tell me. Mother is also your mother, you can share anything with mother.."

Mega smiled gently, grabbed her mother-in-law's wrinkled hand and held it, "Everything's fine Mom. You don't have to worry, I'm happy.."

"Thank God, I always pray for you. To be happy and always together.."

Hearing the heartfelt prayers of the mother, Mega's heart ached. He lied, he lied to his mother-in-law. But he had no choice, he did not want to be honest because he knew that his mother was often sickly. She doesn't want to be burdened by her problems.

"Sintya will take you home" said the mother.

Mega shook her head, "No need ma'am, I don't want to bother him. Anyway Sintya must have gone to college, I'll go home by myself."

Mom took a deep breath, she couldn't force it anymore. That's why he nodded. Looking at the suitcase lying in the corner of the room, the mother was increasingly convinced that Mega and Alex were not good.

"Son, I'm just saying, don't leave your husband. I know what kind of mother's son, he loves you so much."

Mega fell silent, thinking that maybe Alex still loved her. The man could not accept his past as well as the child he was carrying, let alone Alex had brought another woman into their apartment even to their room, is it possible that Alex still loved him?

"I know, Mom." he said.

Mother nodded with a smile, "Let's take you forward" he said.

Mega nodded, he moved and took his suitcase and followed the mother who had already left the room. Once again he turned his head, circulating a glance at every corner of the room. The room was Alex's room, lots of photos of Alex hanging on the walls of the room, from the man was a baby to their wedding photos even though it was very simple not even like a wedding photo.

"Goodbye, my mom. Sorry I gave up, I will take all my love, my memories with you, and all the wounds you have inflicted on me. I hope that after I leave you're happy.."
