One-Third-Night Matchmaker "ALIA"
EPS. 81 The Wounds

Four days Elvan was in the hospital. At that time Elvan was happy because Alia always took the time to visit him. Now he was packing and the arrival of his parents, making Elvan feel lazy to welcome him.

''Elvan, how are you doing, son?" hug Mr. Tama. But Elvan did not flinch and act cold to his Papa.

''Elvan, what happened to you? why your face?'' asked Miss Elisha while holding Elvan's face. Elvan shook Elisha's hand. Soon, Endrew and Milka arrived.

''Papa, Mama, have you guys arrived? why not tell Endrew. Endrew can pick you up, said Endrew while alternately hugging Papa and Mama.

''You know you're very busy, Endrew. So Papa and Mama went straight to the hospital."

''Dad, Mama. You're healthy, right?'' asked Milka who also hugged her two in-laws in turn.

''We are healthy dear, '' replied Miss Elisha.

''What are you all here for? what are you and Papa going home for?'' said Elvan while looking at Miss Elisha full of hatred.

''Stop that brash attitude, Elvan!" firmly Mr. Tama.

''Already, Pa. Don't always be hard on Elvan, pity he just healed, ''' defended Miss Elisha. But Miss Elisha's defense gets a cynical smile from Elvan.

''I don't need to be pityed. Why would you come back if you just want to talk about an absurd matchmaking, said Elvan cynically.

''Let's go home first. Let's just talk at home.'' Miss Elisha said as she rubbed Elvan's shoulder. Elvan again brushed off Elisa's hand violently and that made Endrew only able to hold back his anger.

''Ivan! Stop being rude to your Mama, snapped Mr. Tama.

THE PLAQUE! A loud slap from Mr. Tama landed on Elvan's face. Everyone seemed to be surprised by the incident.

''Papa came home just for this? isn't it Pa? Papa was always rough with Elvan. Why is Papa angry? Papa doesn't accept that this woman I consider inferior. The truth is, it's Pa.''

''Enough Elvan! Don't insult Mama again, '' snapped Endrew who couldn't stand to see his Mama in the abject.

''What a happy and compact family, '' said Elvan while clapping for them.

''Pa, did Papa know before me and Mama what accident happened? Does Papa know? Do you guys know? That night she cried and hid it from me. The night before the accident I heard all the talk of Papa and Mama. Where Papa is more concerned with her, this daughter than I am, Papa's own biological child. Because of him, Papa reasoned to be present at my class increase. You know, Mama cried all night, Pa! At that time, I understood what the reason Mama cried every night even almost every day. Do you all know how Mama suffered and how much she hurt Mama's heart for the betrayal of all of you. Do you all know? Does Papa know how I feel? when Papa came home to take this woman and her son. Papa thinks I can be happy? Papa thinks I accept them? Nah! Until this moment I did not accept them. They are just outsiders who take our happiness. Even Papa changed! For Papa he was the best, whereas I was just a stupid and mischievous child. That's Papa's judgment of me!" said Elvan who let out all his anger and annoyance. Tears of divorce drenched Elvan's face. The anger in Elvan's eyes was inevitable. They could only be silent and speechless. Even Elisha could not hold back his tears. Even Milka was crying, understanding how hurt Elvan was and imagining how Endrew would be.

''Now you know why I hate you so much?'' elvan said as he looked at them one by one full of hatred.

''If elo were me? what am I doing, Endrew?'' elvan said with great emphasis while pointing at Endrew's face very closely.

''I will be angry and do the same with you. But at least listen to Papa's explanation, El, said Endrew.

''I don't care about that explanation! Whatever that explanation is, Papa is a traitor!'' Elvan said while pointing at her Papa's face.

''OK, Papa is wrong. Papa admitted Papa was wrong. At that time the marriage age of Papa and Mama entered the age of 5 years of marriage. But we did not have children. Until finally the doctor sentenced Mama you can not have children. Until finally Mama you forced and asked Papa to marry again. Even your own mother chose Elisha as a candidate for Papa. Elisha was an ordinary girl who accidentally saved your Mama from an accident. Until they finally got very close. Our age with Elisha was not far away either, only five years. Elisha was an orphan and your mother loved him too. At first, Papa was very surprised by your decision. Even Papa and Elisha strongly refused your mother's ridiculous request. Because for Papa, your mother is everything. Finally your mother forced us both to marry. Two more months Papa and Elisha did not touch. It happened because your mother finally admitted to putting something into our drink. So we had a husband and wife relationship. Even while doing that though unconsciously, the shadow of your Mama's face that is in front of Papa. Your mother has a lot of ambition to have a child. For God's sake, we only did it once. Papa feels sorry but Mama you are actually very happy because Elisha finally pregnant. Your own mother took care of Elisha until Elisha's womb grew and Endrew was finally born. Even your own mother named Endrew. Your mom loves Endrew like her own son. Even every day Endrew was with him. While Papa's job was to only give a living to Elisha and Endrew, without ever touching him since then. Endrew was five years old and a miracle happened. Finally Mama you got pregnant, right at ten years of marriage Papa and Mama. Until you're finally born into the world, we're planning on taking Endrew. Elisha, however, reneged on the covenant because of his instincts as mother. He was even willing to be divorced as long as he could live with Endrew. Elisha did not care how much money we gave or what we promised. For Elisha, Endrew is everything. Elisha asked for separation many times, but Papa did not. It is impossible for Papa to leave Elisha. Just like this Papa is a criminal who could abandon his own wife and child. Even Elisha accepted not to be acknowledged in Papa's world. Elisha even chose to live in a small, narrow house because Elisha was aware of his position. Several times Elisha tried to escape but Papa managed to find him. Until finally your mother regretted all her ambition and selfishness. And Mama you received Papa with two wives. It's all our fault, we're the ones who can't wait to get a test like this. It's a mistake that boomerangs in our lives. Until finally Papa and Elisha save each other's taste. Papa salutes his stubbornness and patience for Papa and Mama's overly selfish attitude. Forgive Papa, '' the story of Mr. Tama who also broke into tears.

''Enough Pa! Don't say anything bad about Mama. Papa's attitude all this time that always compares me to Endrew, has been enough to explain everything, said Elvan firmly. Elvan then left while carrying her suitcase. Elvan's heart was already too sick, seeing the suffering of his mother all this time. His father's attitude was always unfair to him.
