Along the way home, Dion continued to stare Anggun with a gaze that was eager for his wife's warm attitude. But it seemed, Anggun was still reluctant to behave like before with Dion. He's still acting cold. It made a huge sense of awkwardness between the two.
Dion wants to melt the atmosphere. But before he did that, a call went into his phone making the intention instantly stifled.
Dion reached into his pants pocket to retrieve the phone. As he looked towards the screen, his eyes rounded in annoyance at the name of the person who had contacted him just now.
Dion just ignored the call. Since he knew, the call would definitely get him in big trouble.
But it seemed, the one who contacted would not let Dion ignore him. The person immediately called back, and probably continued to contact Dion until Dion answered his call.
"Who? Why not just answer, brother? There might be something important to talk about."
"There will be nothing more important than that which will put me in trouble. My biological parents don't seem to be biological parents in general. Because they're no better than my adoptive parents, Graceful."
Gracefully do not answer with words now. He only gave Dion a sympathetic look. Because actually, he knew what Dion was feeling right now. It's just that selfishness still exists.
"You still don't believe me? I understand that. But, let's prove what I just said is the truth. I'm not lying."
Dion immediately answered the third call from his papa. He raised the volume of his voice so that Anggun could also listen to what his papa had to say.
"Hello, Pa."
"Where are you? Why don't you come home after you've been out of the house all night, huh?You want to ruin this family's good name? By leaving irresponsibly, Dion?"
"Go home now, or will you regret it?"
"What does papa mean? Responsible for what?"
"God! Do not pretend bego you do not know in profit. You've ruined people's girls' lives, and then you want to just take your hands off? I won't let you ruin this family's good name, Dion. It won't."
"Destroying girls guys? Who am I broken? I guess, nothing."
"Little and calm down now. Sisil and his parents have come to this house. They want you to take responsibility for what you have done. Go home now, or I'll go crazy again."
"Sorry, Pa. I'm not going home. For Sisil's business, please re-investigate the truth of what they said. I'm sure that you're not the one who immediately believes what other people say. I also know that you don't easily believe what others say without proof, do you?"
"Don't teach me that, Dion! I know what I'm doing. All the evidence is clear, you and Sisil have been together. I won't let you ruin the family's good name. Go home now or you know what the consequences are."
The call was decided unilaterally. Dion took a deep breath. There was a heavy weight on his chest, squeezing, making his chest feel tight until it was hard to breathe.
Slowly but surely, the skinny Graceful hand moved. Gently touching one hand Dion put on his lap because the other hand was massaging the nose bone.
The touch made Dion realize that he was not alone at the moment. His wife was sitting next to him. With a faint look, they exchanged glances for a moment.
"Are you coming back, brother? Your parents really want you to take responsibility for mistakes you didn't make. They really want to beat that woman up like her."
"I'm not coming back, Graceful. Never will."
"Those who live this life are me, not them. If they want to beat the cunning Sisil, then they must find another child to marry. Not me."
"Somehow, I won't be a submissive doll anymore. The most important thing is, for the safety of you and our children, I will fight them firmly. With all the remaining abilities. Surely, not by getting you hurt, because I want to protect you."
"I realized I was wrong all along. In order to save you, I tried to be a submissive child. But I don't know, I tried so hard to save you, with me trying so hard to break your heart."
"I will not be fooled anymore either. They all live full of real cunning. I can't trust them one bit anymore."
After speaking at length non-stop, Dion immediately clasped tightly onto Anggun's hand.
"Fine, I'll send you out of the country where mom and dad are. I'm sure they'll take care of you as best they can. We'll get together again when it's all over. After everything here, fine."
"No. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you. Let me help you solve all these problems, brother Dion. Because of all this, the cause is me."
"No Graceful. You have to go so I can protect you, when I fight them. I wouldn't be able to fight them if I still couldn't protect you."
"I'm not as weak as you might think, Brother Dion. I don't need you to protect. Because I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me, brother."
"Relax .... This is you, my wife. I knew you'd talk to me like this when I asked you to hide abroad. Because of this too, I don't want to say all the trouble I've been through all this time. I can't .... "
"Sister. Let's fight them together" Anggun said quickly as he held Dion's hand back.
Dion looked at the two Graceful eyes with great affection.
"I don't want to, but you're not alone, baby. There's a prospective child in your womb. He may not be able to fight with you, to help me."
"I'm sure he can, Brother Dion. He's strong, just as strong as I am. The proof is, he can still grow and develop as long as I am busy with my world alone, without you beside me. So, I'm sure that we can solve this problem together."
Dion has no more words now. He can only surrender, accept and follow what Graceful said. Although it was actually very heavy for Dion to accept all that.
