Reyhan immediately sighed harshly, indeed there were too many problems that he had to face after his two parents remarried
" Alvin, I can't be that easy to forgive them, and you need to know, if it wasn't for them, I might have been with the woman I love, but because of them I had to erase the love for the girl. Do you know why? Because that girl is my step-sister. You know I've been tormented for years just loving that girl, I can't forget her, but I can't be with her, so don't ever say that you're just as hurt, because the ones who are more hurt are my brother and me."
Alvin's eyes began to glaze over, after hearing Reyhan's explanation, this was indeed the first time Reyhan wanted to talk to him, usually Reyhan would go straight away, but this time Reyhan explained everything in his nature, making Alvin did not think that Reyhan suffered more from him, from his brother who hid his illness and now he also knew Reyhan could not be with the woman he loved because of his papa
" I'm sorry, I don't know about that, but please treat papah as your papah, never consider him a stranger."
" Have?"
" No, may I call you brother? I'm also 19, I want to have a brother like my friends in general on campus, all my friends have a brother, only I don't have a brother."
Reyhan immediately let out a long sigh, this was indeed the first time he spoke at length to Alvin, usually he would avoid Alvin, although Alvin repeatedly invited him to speak
" Do you think of me as your brother?"
Alvin immediately raised his head, he nodded steadily when he got a question from Reyhan, he had already considered Reyhan as his biological father, but Reyhan always refused to talk to Alvin
" Well, from now on you may call me brother, but never talk about your papah, one day I will definitely accept your papah, but not now. I need time to adjust."
" Good, thank you very much."
Alvin immediately smiled widely, to show his dimples, this was the first time he smiled after 9 years passed about the incident of his parents, what else Reyhan who never considered him sodara, his heart was getting hurt. Reyhan immediately nodded with a smile, then he went straight into his room. Honestly, Alvin was very happy when he saw the answer from Reyhan with a smile
" I don't know when Reyhan will listen to me and Papah as his family, but at least now I can get closer to him, hopefully this is a good start" Alvin said
After that Alvin went straight to his room. Reyhan immediately laid his body on the bed, his mind kept circling thinking about the words of his stepfather and Alvin
" Would I accept them as my family now, it would not hurt if I accepted them, it was enough all this time that I avoided them for no apparent reason. Now Najwa has also returned to me again, and Renata also has no pain anymore, then why can't I accept them." Reyhan's inner self
After thinking about it, Reyhan fell asleep. The clock has shown at 08.30WIB, Reyhan immediately came down from his room, his smile still emanated as when Reyhan replied with a nod of his head to Alvin last night. Reyhan arrives at the meal that his mother, stepfather, and Alvin have been waiting for
" Morning mah, morning pah, morning Vin."
" Morning too."
They answered simultaneously with a smile when they heard Reyhan calling Bagas papah, especially Bagas, he was very happy when Reyhan greeted him. They started breakfast without a word coming out of their mouths. After breakfast Bagas opened the conversation
" When do you want to introduce Najwa here, son?"
" Maybe in 2 days reward, I'll introduce Najwa to you."
" Well, papah wait, don't forget to bring Leo here again, papah really likes to play with Leo."
" Yes pah."
" So Reyhan could finally call Bagas with papah's call, after a long time of hope, now a reality." Rika's inner
" Bang want to go to the office?"
" Yes, I'm going to the office, why?"
" I can ride in Brother's car no? Mr. Hendro today is on leave to return home."
Before Reyhan answers Alvin's question, Bagas first talks to Alvin, fearing that Reyhan will get angry again
" Kiddo, then you're leaving just like you, don't bother Reyhan."
Before Alvin replied to Bagas, Reyhan first replied to Bagas
" It's okay reward, my office passed the Alvin campus."
Bagas was still smiling, perhaps now Reyhan had really accepted him, and received his son as his solace
" Thank you Bang."
Reyhan only answered with a nod of his head, his heart was able to accept Bagas and Alvin, although he was still a little stiff to talk to them, but he had already completely accepted them both
" Daughter, thank you for forgiving your mistakes and papah."
" Have you, then let it pass, I'm sorry, maybe you've waited too long for me to accept everything, but this time I'm sincere from my heart to forgive your mistakes, what's more now that I have also got Najwa back, there is no point in me continuing to hate you guys, although until now I was still curious about the fatigue of my birth papah fault until you could betray him, but it seems that now I do not need an answer as to why you can betray my papah, as I have always loved Najwa, although no matter what the circumstances of Najwa, for me it is enough to answer my curiosity, of course, everything will do something crazy for love. If we can't control ourselves."
Rika still smiles, although she also feels very guilty for betraying her late husband, but how else, for many years living with her late husband, but her heart still belongs to Bagas, but, if his parents had not forced him to marry Berayen, he would have never had the complicated problem of having to be hated by Reyhan and Renata, only Rendi still received it quite well at that time, even though he had made a big mistake, but Rendi still accepted it and wanted to stay with him first
" Thank you for understanding how you feel, Rey."
" The same thing."
Reyhan does not need an answer why his mother would betray his papa just for Bagas, because he has found the answer, which is because of love, like he who always loves Najwa in any case, because he has always loved Najwa, he does not care about the status of Najwa now, he still loves Najwa, maybe the feeling is also the same as his mother, despite having three children, but his mother still loves Bagas, but his mother still loves Bagas, and on his papa maybe just appreciating him and respecting him as a husband is nothing more than that
" Alvin, let's go, I'll have a meeting soon."
" Yes bang."
" Mah, pah, me and Alvin are leaving first."
They immediately replied with a nod of their head while smiling
