"none. I just want to fix everything. Between the two of us. We shouldn't be like this." Dhira lowered his head deeply. Showing himself who can regret.
"That was you! I don't know what you want to do. Do you want to sell me to make more money?" Hardik Ara's. His face and eyes widened with a reddening color. He really took off his anger. His heartache accepted Dhira's actions.
"No. Actually, it's all because of Meli, your mother. My mother is missing and she's the culprit. For the sake of being able to make her confess I did it to you because I know you're her son." Dhira spoke as is.
Ara was not surprised. Actually he already knew from Rendra. The man told her from behind the door. But he remains angry that his own best friend is making himself a target. He was also one of the victims of this lie. It hurts even more considering how everyone is playing with him.
"Go! I don't want any more relationship with you. Don't bother me." Dismissed Ara.
"I'm so sorry. I'll fix everything..."
Ara looked at Dhira with a sharp look. "Nothing needs to be fixed. I can take care of myself."
"Let me do it. I really feel guilty. I have no grudge or hatred for you. I've realized that. The wrong is gone. There's no meaning in questioning it." Dhira grabbed Ara's hand and held it.
Ara snorted while peeing her face. But even if he is really hurt.
"I'll take care of you as long as you don't want to go home to the Atmaja family. I'll be in charge of you."
"What am I a child?! Can't take care of yourself? Don't you think I didn't leave here because I wanted to hitchhike here. I can get out of here!" Ara moved from her place. He took the pillow out of the bed and pulled out the scabbard. Then cover the front of his body with the cloth. He walked quickly to get out.
"Fra! Don't go!" Dhira blocked the door so that Ara could not get out.
"Awass! I hate all of you! Don't be so good to me! You're just criminals who like to play people's lives!" He screamed while crying.
"Ara, I really mean it. I want to make amends. After all, you are my best friend. I had to Ara, I had to." Dhira was really crying and hugged Ara firmly.
Ara speechless. He could feel Dhira's warm embrace.
"Let go! I can't forgive you!" Ara pushed Dhira down. "Never see me again!" Ara opened the door. He wants to go wherever he comes from, don't meet those who have hurt him.
But his feet could not step because there was a Leo at the door. The man stood firmly in the middle of the door.
"Ara, calm yourself. Don't get carried away by emotions. You and all of us are victims of the evil of our mother. We can fix our families as long as we want to." Leo paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Dhira. "Where's Dhira? Her mother hasn't met. He is more harmed by the actions of the mother. We should be able to understand his position."
Ara. A little bit of Leo's words can awaken him. He retreated and leaned against the wall. The bitterness in his heart urged his tears to seep back. Right now what was in his mind was Robert and Jhon. Anger rose again to his chest and was eager to hit two men who claimed his family.
"Hussss. You've returned to your place. Me and Papi will protect you. We'll make you happy. Whatever you're gonna do for you." Leo pulled Ara into his arms. Ara's cry grew stronger in Leo's arms. Between his confusion and anger a happy glimmer slipped into his heart.
Ara broke away from Leo's embrace. He walked and sat on the edge of the bed. While Dhira was still sitting on the floor from falling because of the thrust of Ara.
Leo took Dhira's hand and pulled her up from the floor. Then take her to sit on Ara's side. Then he himself knelt before them both "You are my life. I live only for you. My priority and goal is you two. Please don't ever stay me. Stay by my side. Without you I can't live."
Ara was so swept away with the word Leo. He was interested and liked his brother.
Dhira grunted softly. But he is the least fortunate. As good as Leo was to her, she remained unaccepted as long as her mother had not returned.
Leo knew very well what was raging in Dhira's mind. "We're going to find mom. Whatever we're gonna do to find him."
Dhira threw his face to the side. For almost two months Leo always said so but until now there has been no proof.
"And you Ara, come back with me. Papi's waiting. After all, it's just our house where you come back." Bring Leo heart. If Ara had calmed down and stayed at home with her she would have calmly worked as well as looked for Amelia.
"No. I want to stay here. The house is foreign to me. Let me stay here for a while." Decline Ara. Actually, he wanted to solve this problem with Robert and then go back to Atmaja's house.
Leo took a long breath. Although he desperately wanted Ara to go home with him, but forcing him was not a good idea. All he could do right now was obey Ara. Seeing Ara, not hysterically rejecting the reality of her life has made her relieved.
"This is a man's place. No woman lives in this house. Are you comfortable?" Asked Dhira with a stiff tone.
Ara just kept quiet.
"I'm asking you to accompany her here. Stay here as long as Ara wants to be here." Pinta Leo on Dhira.
Dhira nodded lazily. Though in his heart was very happy, meaning he could more freely dig information from Ara about Jhon.
"All right, you guys are here. I can't come here often. Tomorrow I and papi go back to the company. I have a lot to prepare tonight. I have to go home and talk to Papi."
"returned? You mean, John returned the company?" Ask Dhira.
"Yes. I don't know why the guy changed his mind. Clearly, all problems are created by him. Everything he did was to get Papi and me out of the company. Starting from raw material suppliers who do not want to work together again to make investors withdraw shares and impact with accumulated debt. Now instead want to turn things around and say all our debts have been paid off. Now my job is even harder, it has to start all over."
Dhira frowned. According to his understanding, Jhon would likely be even more ruthless because Ara was already out of their grasp. But what is this? Is it possible because Meli has died so they realize that what they did was a mistake too? Only questions and questions were stored in Dhira's mind.
While Ara blinked not understanding the conversation of Leo and Dhira. He doesn't know anything about it. But to ask he was lazy. Silence is the best way to calm her down.
Suddenly Leo's eyes caught Ara's torn clothes. "Why your clothes? And it looks like this is still your shirt from two days ago."
Ara did not intend to answer. He just slumped lazily talking.
Finally Dhira tells the story he knows from Rendra. Ara lost her honor at dusk after Meli's burial.
Ara just kept quiet did not show any rejection. Silence, her heart began to feel comfortable.
"You don't eat. Any message you want. Look, you two are getting skinny." Leo's Message.
"Bronghost people. You're so skinny!" Sahut Dhira's.
"I'm male. My body's endurance is stronger than the two of you. As long as you two are happy and healthy, I will definitely feel happy and healthy as well."
"Hem." Dhira is throbbing but invisible because it is only a little.
"alright. I have to go home now. If there were nothing important I wanted to do with papi, I would rather stay here with you guys. Still miss you both."
The two girls just fell silent.
After Leo's death, Ara changed a little. It wasn't as bad as before. Already want to talk and obey the word said Dhira. He took a shower and ate too. The two girls are now sitting on the balcony enjoying Rendra's bread complete with green tea.
"What happened, really? Just now you guys were talking about Jhon and Leo's company." Ara's voice was normal, though not as bright as before. Not too stiff and cold.
"Since your disappearance, Jhon corrupted the image of Leo and Rudy. Influencing investors as well as others so that the company is destroyed. Until it is stated they owe a lot and the company is in danger of bankruptcy. Leo was sick and under my pressure. Rudy himself had no ability against Jhon. Plus the Meli situation that began to be labile. They're just resigned under the cunning of Jhon."
Ara seemed to be in disbelief. According to him Robert and Jhon are honest and clean entrepreneurs. He had never seen them do anything bad let alone slander.
"That's reality. Your father and Jhon are cruel people. The proof is they can lie and take away your identity." Dhira started the action. He becomes very curious who exactly is the man who became the fake papi Ara.
"I find it hard to believe before I hear myself from papi." The girl answered with a blank look.
Dhira nodded "that's natural. Once you feel better, meet them and ask yourself. By hearing from them directly you can feel relieved."
Ara let out a long breath. His face was extremely moody, harboring deep sadness. It seemed that he could not hear from his papa if this fact was true. I really hope that happens is just a misunderstanding. He prefers his papa to Robert. A good man who never refused his request. Good man, always pampering himself.
***
The next day Dhira and Ara are still loyal at Rendra's house. Every morning Dhira went to work from there and returned there. Of course every morning he never miss checking and following Jhon every opportunity. His hopes begin to fade, because he never finds Jhon lying. The man was alone in his home. There was no one else but the workers and security guards.
While Ara never talked about her fake family when they were together. He often asked and lured Ara to say something about her papi but she never succeeded. Now the deadlock broke his spirits. Sometimes thinking, maybe he just spent his time suspecting Jhon.
After dinner, Ara borrowed Dhira's jacket. The girl already looked a little cheerful and nimble. Already do not like daydreaming and now looks ready to go somewhere
"Where are you going?" Dhira asked in surprise because for seven days Ara never came out.
"There's something I want to take care of." Ara was prepared and was already wearing a jacket.
"I'm coming. Don't go out alone. What if you find trouble."
"No need. I can take care of myself. I have to take care of this business myself."
"Ara, you're a girl. How about meeting a brash guy and..." The sentence Dhira hangs seeing the change in Ara's face that became afraid.
"Let me be with you." Dhira took the other jacket. "We're riding a motorcycle."
"It'll trouble you." Said Ara with her head down.
"No. I'm really happy. We can walk the road."
Finally Ara complied with Dhira. After descending down, he climbed on the bike behind Dhira.
"Where are you going?"
"To the house."
"To the house?" Ask Dhira. He was confused by the house Ara meant.
"My house all this time." Ara called Robert's home address.
"All right." Answer Dhira briefly. Inwardly hoping he found something after entering Jhon's house.
They stopped in front of the guard post. Two security guards known to Dhira approached to check.
"It's me." Ara opened the helmet on her head.
"Oh Non Ara! Miss is home!" Shouted the guard with a radiant face.
"Are Jhon and Papi home?"
"There is only Jhon."
"alright. Open that gate! We're going in."
