My Brother's Bed Rattles
Explanation of Bu Ara

"Our son? Who do you mean by our son?" Renatta who could not help his curiosity, immediately approached the mother.

Ms. Ara was shocked. She did not expect that Renatta would hear all of her conversations with her husband. Not only Ms. Ara, Mr. Thunder was also surprised because the man could still hear Renatta's speech from a cellphone that was still connected.

"Re-renatta? Did you hear everything we talked about?" asked Bu Ara stammeringly.

"Yes! I heard it, Mother, and I need an explanation from you. Who did you guys call 'our kids' just now? And don't try to lie to me! Because I'm not a child who would believe if Mom said that what you mean is me" Renatta said firmly.

Ms. Ara dropped down on her soft bed. He sat on the edge of the bed with teary eyes.

"alright. Sit, Renatta. Let me explain everything, "Ara said to Renatta while patting the empty space beside his body.

Renatta complied. He sat on the edge of the bed, right next to his mother. Before telling the truth to Renatta, Ms. Ara breathed heavily.

"Come, Renatta .... Back then, when I was your age, your father and I were in a relationship as lovers. We are serious and want to build a home. But, my hope is not as good as reality. Our relationship didn't get the blessing of your late grandfather and grandmother. They assumed that your father was the wrong man for you. Since then they have not allowed us to meet again. Until one day, the mother was declared pregnant and no one knew. I'm looking for your father and I want to tell you about your pregnancy. But your father disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth. Even his phone number could no longer be reached. Until it finally happened ...." Ms. Ara sobbed while holding her chest.

"What's going on, Mom?" Renatta gently rubbed Bu Ara's back while looking sadly at the woman.

Ms. Ara took a deep breath and exhaled back, trying to calm herself down. "Mother gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl without the knowledge even without the help of anyone. I panicked and was scared. The mother, who was unable to think clearly, immediately took the baby to an orphanage and asked them to take care of her. They were willing to accept it, but on the condition that I could not interfere with the child's claim again if there was a family willing to adopt it. The foolish mother agreed to it and was willing to sign the seal."

Again Ms. Ara sobbed and this time her sobs sounded very heartbreaking. Clearly visible from his reaction at that time, Ms. Ara was very sorry for his stupid actions.

"Then, how can father and mother come together?" ask Renatta again.

"Mother accidentally met your father again, when your grandfather was dead. I told your father everything and he was very sorry for leaving Mom at that time. Your father took me to visit the orphanage and hoped they would give us back our daughter. However, the rice had already become porridge. Our baby has been adopted by someone else" explained Ms. Ara.

"Why don't you find out where your baby is?" asked Renatta who was a little upset to hear his mother's explanation at that time .

"Already, Son. All the ways we've done. And according to the agreement that I have agreed with the orphanage, we must not disturb the child again. They're not even willing to tell us who and where the person who adopted our daughter is." Ms. Ara was back sobbing.

"Right, you want to see him?" ask Ms. Ara back.

Renatta nodded his head steadily. "Yes. I want to meet him."

Ms. Ara took a heavy breath while smiling wryly. "All right then. Now follow Mom," said Ms. Ara as she slowly pulled her daughter's hand.

"Where, Mom?"

"Don't you say you want to meet her?" ask Ms. Ara.

Renatta nodded and followed in Bu Ara's footsteps leading him to the main hall. At first Renatta still did not realize that in the room there were still Ayden and Risa. He rounded his eyes perfectly after realizing who his mother meant.

"Risa? Ja-so Risa ..." muttered Renatta in heart.

Right at that moment, they had already arrived the main hall. Where Ayden and Risa are still waiting with anxious expectation. Renatta's gaze was immediately fixed on Risa and he looked at the woman with a gaze that was so difficult to explain.

"Renatta, meet Risa, your older sister," said Bu Ara suddenly, who managed to make Ayden, Risa and Renatta surprised to hear.

Risa stared fixedly at Bu Ara with eyes that were still glazed. "Ja-so, is that right? Aunty is the woman who left me at the orphanage?" risa asked with trembling lips.

"I'm sorry, Risa. I can explain everything after your father comes home. Just wait a minute," said Ms. Ara.

While Renatta was still shocked by that reality. He was silent and unable to say anything more.
