"I-iya Non." The security guard opened the fence.
Dhira pulls the gas in his hand and directs the motor into the yard of the house. They both went down.
Ara walked towards the door followed by Dhira. He opened the door but it was locked. He also pressed the bell. Standing for three minutes, the door opened.
"Non Ara...!!! Non Ara is home!!!" Bi Aira exclaimed with a radiant face with glassy eyes. He hugged Ara tightly.
"Auntie, I miss you." Ara returned Aira's embrace. The woman who has been looking after him since he was a baby. Even through that woman he can feel loved by a woman like a mother.
"Auntie misses you too. Why did it take so long? Never even sent word." Bi Aira sobbing. He examined Ara's entire body. Making sure the girl he had considered his son was okay.
"Miss is skinny. Is it while abroad, not eating regularly?" Bi Aira looked at Ara's face which was still a bit thin.
"Ah, Bi..Who is she home?"
"There's Den Jhon."
"Sir Robert had only been home once since Non-Ara had left."
"When?" Ask Ara.
"About a week ago. Come upstairs, Den Jhon must be in his room. A lot has happened to Den Jhon over the past few weeks. He was injured twice to severe pain. His leg bones, hands and waist were broken."
Ara was not particularly interested in the bi Aira report. He stared at the stairs, His desire to judge the stairs was gone. His feet are not interested. He usually likes to go upstairs and go straight to his room.
"Pregnant?"
The voice at the end of the stairs caught the attention of the three women. Jhon with a slow step down the stairs with a tense face. Until the young man came down, no sound was heard. They were all silent with their own minds.
"You're home yet? W-are you okay?" Jhon's voice trembled slightly. Either it's due to doubt or something else.
"Hem." Although the room consisted of four people but the atmosphere was so gripping. There is a deep boundary between them.
John stood right in front of Ara. He noticed the face of the girl who had been in her foster care had become more thin and there were many small pimples on her forehead. "Bi, prepare the food." John turned his eyes to Aira. Then on Dhira. They sat for a long time without a sound.
"Give me your hp! I want to talk to Robert." Sentak. His tongue called Robert papi.
"The police could not be contacted. It's been a month since I went abroad."
"Give me your hp!" Jerky Ara. He did not care what Jhon said.
Jhon pulled his phone out of his pants pocket. And give.
Ara immediately searched for the name P. Robert, as he's seen before but didn't meet. Then he looked at Jhon after reading the name 'papi' in the phone history section.
"The fire is very busy. Even my phone was ignored."
Ara's face was filled with question marks. But he had no intention of saying anything. He continued to contact Robert. Disappointment filled his heart as Robert's voice was never heard from the phone.
Keep calling him, again and again until both hands tremble and weeping from his nose.
Jhon grabbed Ara's hand.
"Don't touch me!!" Suddenly Ara shouted mixed cries. His face was flooded with tears. Throw Jhon's hand out of his.
"Pacify yourself. Tomorrow we will..."
"Who are you setting me up, huh?!" Pekik Ara's. Although her crying voice was already inaudible, her tears were still flowing.
"Ara.I know you're angry and disappointed. But papi had a reason for everything that had happened. It's best to calm yourself first and then we'll discuss everything." John tried to persuade Ara.
"No need for any explanation from you! I'll go to Holland. Please prepare all the necessary necessities there." Ara handed over Jhon's phone. This time his voice sounded a little slow.
"But the papi is not there yet. We better wait until he gets home. Sia wasted you to the Netherlands if it turns out papi is in another country."
"Don't interfere in my business! Give me some money or a card. I'll take care of everything." Ara's emotions were instantly provoked. His reddened face held everything that wanted to explode in his chest. Wanted to vanish to Jhon but was arrested. He will not be satisfied with the answers to all his questions.
"The fire has already ordered, you should wait for him to come home. You need to talk."
"When? I need an explanation right away!" Shouted Ara.
Jhon did not answer. He looked at Dhira with a dislike. "There is a problem in this house. You as an outsider should know the custom. Who is not a member of our family is out right now!"
"The matter of Ara, is my problem as well. Do you not hesitate to call Ara a member of your family? It is clear that he is a descendant of the Atmaja family. Huh, you shameless shameless!" Damprat Dhira's.
"Your mouth is like a duck's mouth! Yuck..koek..! Original sounds! Now get out of here!" Banish Jhon.
"We're going. Give me a cell phone or money if I can't get any more cards." Ara said that he broke up Jhon and Dhira. Anyway, he needs money.
"As long as you want to stay in this house. The door of this house is always open to you whenever and whenever." Jhon's voice is in Robert's message. "And all the facilities you want please use. There is no ban."
"I want to talk to Robert. I want everything clear! I want to hear from him who I really am! Whether I am his son or not!" Ara's voice trembled with a water droplet dripping again from her eyes. His heart ached saying that sentence.
John could not say. He only stayed with the jakun down and down because he swallowed his own saliva several times. His face showed weakness as if describing regret.
"I'll let you in the room, I need some clothes and some tools."
There was no answer from Jhon, making Ara not to step up.
Seeing that Jhon scratched his head violently. "Relse. Either way it's your room."
Ara went up without taking Dhira.
Jhon still stands with Dhira. They glanced at each other and simultaneously snorted violently.
Jhon, however, could tell what Dhira was thinking. Wanted to ask the truth why he was looking for and after Robert. But in his custody for the security of the identity of his papi. Actually Robert said, there are no more secret things that need to be hidden about Ara. But Robert said, do not for a while expose the papi to anyone. There were a few more things that the man had to take care of and did not want to be bothered by anyone. That's why he hasn't been able to see Ara.
Ara appeared and was already with them. The girl was carrying a backpack on her back. "Tell Robert right away to leave me a little time. Two more days I'll be here to hear all the explanations." After she finished talking, Ara turned around and took Dhira away.
"Wait!" Call Jhon.
Ara and Dhira stopped. They're spinning together.
"It use!" John gave A card to Ara.
"I don't need that. Give me some cash! If it's true that I'm not Robert's son, I'll promise to give it back."
Jhon's hand hung in the air with the card in his fingers. He really doesn't want Ara to be abandoned. He knew the girl did not go to Atmaja's house. After a few seconds, he pulled his hand and opened his wallet. Pull all the money in her wallet and give it to Ara.
Without saying anything, Ara took the money. Then he pulled Dhira's hand out of the house.
From his place, Jhon could only see Ara's departure. Even if he wanted to explain everything, so that Ara understood everything that happened, but he did not dare without Robert's approval.
Along the way home, Ara hugged Dhira tightly while crying on her back. Although he was very curious about the truth of himself, it still made him sad how long his papi relationship with him was fake. Even if he never thought about it. He only saw Robert as his most perfect father. Most adored, most beloved, the only one he has in this world.
Honestly speaking, from the inside of his heart hoping that everything that happened was just a misunderstanding. If he can choose, he wants to remain Robert's son. After all, that man was the only one who knew him and had him in his life.
***
Waiting for the two days he had spoken to Jhon made Ara fidget herself. A day had passed making him even more nervous. He did not know if he could accept the reality that Robert said later.
With the clarity he was waiting for, it would definitely make him no longer in touch with Robert. He will leave everything. Decide what he has been doing all his age with that man.
With uninspired steps, he walked slowly to the supermarket shopping for something. The atmosphere of the afternoon is the clock home of the workers making the road noisy by vehicles that pass by. But the noise did not stir Ara's mind from her daydream.
Suddenly a black luxury car approached him. A few seconds the car door opened, and Robert appeared.
"Mom..."
The girl nodded. "Body?" Spontaneous only his mouth called to Robert with papi.
Robert smiled as he stretched out his hands.
Both of Ara's eyes sparkled, as though all the heavy burdens that entwined him flew away instantly. He was about to run to meet his papi who had been sorely missed. But suddenly his legs could not move considering the man he called papi all this time turned out to be someone else. He backed away with tears. The only thing he felt right now was just wanting to cry.
"My son, you're still my son." Robert approached and grabbed Ara's head.
However, that was precisely what made Ara's cry even louder. Robert's words instead of keeping him calm.
"Let's kid, we need to talk." Robert pulled Ara's hand and hugged her.
Ara did not try to escape. He stayed and hiccupped in Robert's stocky arm.
After a while Robert took Ara in the car. There was no resistance from Ara. The time he asked for two days was now shorter. For only eighteen hours he had met Robert.
"Why are we going to the hotel?" Ara asked as the car drove Robert to a hotel.
"We need time to talk about everything. Papi won't hide anything anymore. It's time you knew everything."
Ara looked at Robert with an unusual look. Implied doubt was also fear in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid. You're already my son. From the baby I'm the one who took care of you."
"Why? Why am I your son?" Tanya Ara hesitated.
"long story. That's why I took the time to meet you. Papi will say everything." Robert accidentally came from Bali before the time Ara had spoken, to outwit Dhira who always loved him.
Ara just stared at Robert with her mouth closed.
"After you know the story, papi has no right to force you. Wanting to stay with me or return to your real parents depends on your own choices. But to me, you are still my beautiful daughter. The eyes of my heart and the lamp of my soul. Thanks to you I feel the feeling of having affection. You are my daughter forever." The sharp eyes that always encourage and protect it glazed glass.
For the first time those eyes showed weakness before Ara, making the girl sob again.
"First Papi apologizes. It's made you experience all this."
Ara still closed her mouth.
"It's not good that we're sitting in this car for long. We go inside and listen to what Papi wants for this with you. For twenty years Papi endured and kept alone. It's time you found out."
Finally, Ara obeyed Robert. They went to a special room that was available every time Robert came to visit the hotel.
"We'd better have dinner. It's time to eat." Just finished talking a hotel maid has come in with a food trolley.
Ara didn't say anything. He obeyed Robert. They eat together in silence.
Robert cleaned his mouth and moved to the sofa.
Ara also finished her meal. Only about five mouthfuls of rice were eaten.
"I've done everything. Can it start now?" Ask Ara. He is impatient again.
"All right." Robert took a long breath.
Ara was a little astonished by Robert's look. This guy is involved a little fatter and fresher. After a while, Robert no longer smoked. The man looks fresher.
"What you heard about my relationship with you is true. You are my foster child. It all started because of the relationship between me and my lover and Meli your mother."
