Ryan walked in a stupefied manner, his heart breaking at this moment. If there were no sunglasses covering the eyes, perhaps everyone could see that the eyes were currently stale due to too many tears falling.
He ignored the few pairs of eyes that were now watching him. Either pay attention because of the way the road, or pay attention because they feel knowing the man who is walking terseok. How not, since escaping custody, Ryan is the most wanted man in town. The police have promised a prize for money if someone can provide information about Ryan.
Ryan continued walking until he reached a small house, his hiding place with his mother until they were arrested. Ryan walked into the house, then immediately walked into the closet and opened it.
A small box made of wood. Although his age is old, but it looks if the item is very strong. Ryan took the box. His lips had a small smile when he remembered how he had gotten the box from his father.
Yes, it was the gift box from his father when Ryan was on his sixth birthday. Ryan was living with Diana and her husband.
Ryan slowly opened the box. A box whose mother did not know it at all. The box contains several photos. Photos of his childhood and also his friendship with his father.
Ryan deliberately kept the box a secret from his mother, because he did not want his mother to get angry and ended up throwing the box away. The man knew that the mother did not like her late first husband. The box is the only relic of the papa, Ryan takes care of it very well.
As usual, when he was upset, Ryan looked at a picture of his father. The shady face of his biological father made himself calm and stronger in the face of everything. It is very different from the mother who always vilifies.
"Papa, you're so handsome and dashing. I miss you so much, pa." Ryan hugged the photo.
But Ryan's eyes were fixed on a paper that was on the inside of the box. The inside can still be opened. Ryan was curious and immediately picked it up.
"What's this?" He said while lifting the red lid in the box. Really, he just realized that there was another place in the box that he had been keeping.
A paper. Yes, paper that is very outdated due to age. Ryan opened it slowly, otherwise the paper would have been torn.
Ryan's my son,
Somehow I can express in words how much love I have for you, son. You are the solvent of the heart, the bringer of happiness to me. Thank you for coming into the world and completing your life.
But sorry, it turns out that affection alone is not enough to make this self meaningful. There are many things you cannot do for your happiness and your mother. Maybe you are too small to understand it now. But believe me, son, whatever you're doing is all for you two.
I'm sorry papa, you've made both of you suffer. Dad didn't expect to experience something like this. The biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life.
Papa knows papa's wrong. Bad deeds that are not worth exemplifying. Even papa is ashamed to tell you.
Outside there may be a lot of speculation for personal gain. But the truth is that papa did bad deeds and betrayed good people like Airlangga.
Life is cruel Ryan, even more cruel than the sharpness of a dagger. Your mama always threatened to leave me back and take you away from me. Just because papa's salary in Airlangga's office is small.
Then when I got a chance I tried to steal the company's money. And when I lost my best friend, I lost the people who always helped me. Airlangga and Diana, not just your adoptive parents they are angels God sent for your nenjagga.
But at least your mama will be happy because of this. I did this work out of reason well for his happiness. I don't know, there's always something wrong in her eyes.
And finally, papa can't take it anymore. My embarrassment to the Airlangga family made me lose my way. They were so good, knowing my crimes they didn't get angry, they offered to continue being foster parents to you. Papa just wants to get away from this very cruel world.
Again, forgive papa son.
"Lad...."
Ryan shouted, when the pen scratches on the paper had been read out, the man felt the papa was always with him.
Ryan hugged the paper while sitting on the floor. There are so many things in his brain right now.
Until a big conclusion that just appeared from his mouth. "It's all because of mama's gluttony!"
Ryan also remembered what Max had told him. About her second childhood and also Chloe's death. Ryan took a deep breath. A few hours ago he still adored his mother, but now, no.
"It's enough Ma, I've understood everything. Mama just used me as a pawn to get what she wanted. Not anymore."
"Mrs Diana," Ryan recalled something about the woman who had also been involved in raising him. The man was crying, crying.
"Mother, I'm sorry... I'm sorry ma'am!" ryan said as he continued to cry.
