"What did Papi mean? Try repeating again! I didn't hear you wrong?" yudha asked with a trembling voice restraining her disappointment.
Papi and Mami looked at each other. The man accidentally exposed the secret he had been keeping. From the beginning, Mami Manda had wanted to tell the truth who Jefri was. However, Jefri did not allow it. He wanted it to be the secret of both of them and the extended family.
Jefri, who loved Yudha like his biological son, did not want the child to know that he was just a father to Yudha. At this time Jefri could only be fixated on hearing his question from Yudha.
Mami approached Yudha and hugged her son and said, "Yudha, Mami will be able to explain everything. Now let Mami talk to Papi first."
Yudha brushed off the hand of Mami who was holding her. Turn your body to face Mami.
"I want Mami to tell you everything right now! Is it true what I heard earlier, if I'm not Papi's real son?" ask Yudha.
"That's true. Your biological father left Mami while you were still in the womb. You should be thankful that I recognized you as a real child!"
Mami closed her mouth not believing what she heard. Jefri her husband, who loved Yudha very much, said so to his son.
Has Jefri's affection been just a fake? Is it true that his extended family says that if Jefri marries him, he only expects treasure?
"Mas, what are you saying. Are you aware of what you're saying?" ask Manda.
"Already, Mi. Now I get it. All this time it turns out your love for me was just a fake. It's worth Papi just forgetting me after getting a new toy."
Yudha turned her gaze away from Papi and turned to face Mami. Yudha held back her tears from spilling.
"Why didn't Mami tell me this truth if I wasn't Papi's real son. But I am sure that Papi never truly loved me. If he loves me, he will never find pleasure out there. I'm disappointed in you, Mi. Why are you covering this up from me?"
Yudha walked away from her parents. When Mami wanted to catch up with Yudha, her steps came to a halt as Papi spoke.
Manda turned her body to face Jefri. Look at the man she loved so much.
"I'm suing for divorce to give you freedom. So that you can adventure as you please."
"Don't pretend to be an angel. Did you forget that our broken relationship started with your lies."
Manda took a deep breath. How else would he apologize? Is Jefri's disappointment in him so great that it closes his heart to an apology.
"I know it all started with my mistakes, but I did it because I love you too much."
"There's no reason for a lie. Still it hurts. Lies don't hurt you unless they're told by someone you trust. No one believes a liar. Even if he tells the truth. And you need to remember, trust is like paper. Once squeezed, the paper can't look perfect anymore."
"Because I realize I'm guilty, for that I let you go. If I let go does not mean giving up, but realizing that there are things that cannot be forced. Sometimes there are times when we have to let go and mengikhlaskan, because there is something that cannot be forced."
"I think enough of this nonsense talk. I just want you to remember, if I'm going to ask my lawyer for the distribution of gono gini's property. I want you not to forget that I'm entitled to some of your property. I also have a hand in the development of the company."
Jefri stepped out of Manda. He came to get his clothes. Actually he came just to remind Manda, that his wife gave some of his property.
Manda breathed a tight hold on the chest. Indeed there is not the slightest love for him in the heart of Jefri, proved Jefri no problem they divorced. What is feared is only the distribution of gono gini treasures.
If you understand, letting go is not an easy thing. Farewell is painful sometimes, isn't it?It is better to let him go if it is the best than to force something that cannot survive.
