Tisha could not answer Rasya's questions because she did not know about Rasya's real father. More precisely do not remember, and Zayn seems to deliberately make Tisha can not remember Ray.
The boy gets even more angry at Tisha because her questions go unanswered.
"Easy! get out of here, I don't want to hear you lie anymore!" yelling Rasya while lying on his bed, he did not want to see his mother's face.
"But you're not lying, son" said Tisha honestly
"Mama likes it if I say bastard son same people! everyone has papa! I'm the only one who doesn't, it means I'm an illegitimate child as they say!!" Rasya was angry at his mama.
"Dear, mamah is not rich that you are not a bastard, you have a mother and you also have a papa" Tisha looked at her son with a wounded look. He is sad because Rasya is crying, he complains often in ridicule by his friends at school.
"Who is my papa? where's my papa?!" rasha asked with her voice rising
My mom doesn't answer that anymore. Rasya looked disappointed in his mother.
This is the first time Rasya complained to Tisha, but every day he was ridiculed by his friends. And this was the day that Rasya was very upset with his friends.
His anger exploded, at Tisha who could not tell the answer of all her questions. Rasya just wanted to know his papa figure and whether it was true he had papa.
Zayn, I have to ask him this when he comes back. No matter what the truth is, I need to know who my ex-husband and Rasya's real father are. Rasya not only needs me, Rasya also needs his papa. His papa has every right to know Rasya's whereabouts, maybe it's time I asked Zayn.
Either Rasya's stubbornness decreases from whom, which is clearly not Tisha's nature.
Fayra saw and heard the debate between the mother and the child. Rasya's anger, Rasya's question that Tisha can't answer. Making Tisha sad, on the other hand Rasya was also sad because he wanted to know who his father was.
When everyone was asleep, Fayra was still awake. It was like waiting for someone.
Dreet..
Dreet..
Fayra's phone vibrated, he received a message from Zayn.
..."Brother, open the door"...
Fayra opened the back door of the simple house, in front of him already stood the figure of Zayn.
"Tisha has Rasya slept?" asked Zayn with a tired face, he finished playing at his friend's birthday.
"Yes, it's what time it is" Fayra replied.
"If so, I want to see them first, brother. I kept this toy for Rasya" Zayn smiled and stepped into the house with a big swipe in his hand. But, Fayra held Zayn's hand.
"But Zayn, you want to talk to me about something" Fayra looked at her cousin with sharp eyes
"What's up, brother?" zayn asked in surprise because he did not usually see Fayra as serious as that.
"We're talking outside" Fayra was afraid that Tisha or Rasya would hear their talk.
The two of them went to the park and sat down on the chair there. Fayra sighed, preparing herself to talk to Zayn.
"What's up, brother? how serious it is" Zayn smiled in surprise at Fayra
"What the hell don't you want to talk about? what did I do and I was wrong?" ask Zayn back
"Today Rasya was angry, he cried at Tisha. She thought Tisha was lying" Fayra replied with sad eyes
"Why? did Rasya and Tisha fight? Tisha lied what?" zayn asked worriedly at Rasya and Tisha
"Rasya asked her papa pad Tisha" Fayra replied sadly
"Don't Rasya usually ask his papa? and after Tisha answers her, she will shut up" Zayn said, feeling that nothing was wrong
"This time it's different Zayn, Tisha can't control Rasya. Rasya at the taunts of his friends at school, he is said to be an illegitimate child. The older a child is, the more curious he will be about himself and his background. What I want to say is. You have to tell Tisha everything about that person"
Fayra could not bear the circumstances of Rasya who continued to ask his papa, even he was angry thinking his mother was lying. Though Tisha herself does not know what kind of figure her ex-husband is.
DEG!
Zayn gasped at his hearing, he clenched his hands in a frenzy. It bit the lower lip. Both of Zayn's eyes looked confused.
Tell Tisha and Rasya? the truth about Ray? the thing that's been covered up over the years? should he do it? In his heart was fear, anxiety and pounding.
"Sister, that's not possible...Do you know what kind of person Ray is? and I know Almh's last message. Ms. Fani and Alm. Arya to me?" ask Zayn who does not want to reveal about Ray to Tisha and Rasya.
"Zay! now the problem is not just Tisha! but Rasya, he will definitely keep finding out about his papa. She will continue to think her mama is a liar and hates Tisha! you want that to happen?? Zayn, you know you're afraid that Tisha will come back to Ray, right?" Fayra saw the unrest on Zayn's face
Zayn was silent to hear it, he was still thinking out loud. His heart was afraid to tell him what he wanted to keep secret for the rest of his life. Zayn held his dizzy head.
"Zayn, you have to tell me the truth! if Tisha and Rasya know from others before you. You'll regret it. Whatever happens to Rasya and Tisha, at least you told them. Zayn, Rasya needs his papa. He deserves to know about his papa. Even though Rasya's parents are divorced" Fayra tells Zayn to tell Ray about Tisha and Rasya.
O Allah, if I tell them this truth. And Tisha recalls her past with Ray. Then how was my fate? Tisha will come back to her, let alone Rasya among them! then me? i how?
Zayn is tormented thinking about his position later if Tisha and Rasya know the truth about Ray. The two of them will leave Zayn and will return to Ray and become a whole family. Zayn didn't want that to happen.
****
City of Jakarta, Indonesia..
At Ray's house, it was seen when Ray had just come home from work. The condition of his house is still the same, he is still alone there. Every time he came home from work, Ray always looked at his wedding photos and Tisha on the wall.
"I'm going home to Tisha" she said, smiling at the photo.
Then Ray enters the bathroom, he starts cleaning himself up. After finishing his activities in the bathroom, Ray relaxes his tired body in bed. As usual, he could not sleep without sleeping pills. For 5 years he always took sleeping pills and cigarettes. However, he avoided alcohol.
Once upon a time, Ray overdosed on alcohol and drugs consumed in excess. Ray's been in the hospital for days. Now he has abandoned the habit that almost took his life, even though he has not been able to leave sleeping pills and smoking.
Ray sat on the floor, he opened his wallet. There is a picture of his son's USG and a photo of Tisha that he always carries everywhere.
"Tisha, my son, I've changed. I've been waiting for you guys for 5 years.Why haven't you guys gone home yet? go home. You've punished me enough.." Ray stared at the photo sadly, hoping that his son and wife would return to him. Although everyone thinks that Tisha and her son are gone.
However, Ray's beliefs remain the same. He believes Tisha and her son are still alive. That belief is what makes Ray survive in his days full of emptiness.
