ROSETA
Fierce

"Hi" he said with a flat look.

The man who had just woken up on top of the hospital ward slightly grimaced feeling his dizzy head. But when after hearing the greeting that should have sounded friendly in the ear; Theo turned to the sweeper who was already standing to his right by folding his hands under his chest.

Theo's tongue is muddy, even his mouth can only be agape, close, then gape again, then close again, his eyes are hard to focus, his hands are trying to pat both cheeks, this is not a dream, this is not a dream, that's how he convinced himself if what he saw was not only what he could imagine so far.

"Hi, Dad, nice to meet you, introduce, my name is Braga. Your son, Bryna's twin."

Once more. Braga said very flatly, even the custom of reaching out as a sign of introduction he did not do. Maybe Braga has no interest, even though he himself knows if his heart beats is not because it holds the longing.

Honestly, Braga wanted to hug his father who was still wide open after the sudden confession he made.

"Bra.Braga. Can Daddy hug you." Pinta Theo at that moment.

Theo to take off the infusion by force, which he felt only dizzy in the head, he was neither limp nor unable to support his body, so why the damn thing stuck in his veins. He did not want to look weak in front of his son, although it was also too late to say it all.

Braga walked backwards as Theo tried to approach him. His heart still ached, eager for Braga to accept Theo to embrace his body, eager to, but somehow part of him pulled back to start a rejection.

Braga. "I hate you, Dad."

"Daddy knows, Daddy knows you hate Daddy. Daddy has to how. Say, Son. Daddy has to do what?"

Braga hung the tears that were still piling up on her pelupuk. He was just a little boy lacking in affection, he was a strong character like Theo who unfortunately had formed early on, the trauma of being left behind by a father and difficult to forget, moreover, he knows that Theo is with family which should not be his responsibility.

"Is there no way to turn back time?" Braga desperately confirmed his tone, desperately also so that the raucous hanging in the throat was not presumptuous to come out.

**. “Is there no way to roll back time?”*

Silly question, yes it is a silly question, if only I could, Theo would be very happy to do it all. In fact, if he could turn back the clock, Theo would be back in the day he first met Yura, Theo would never have made a friendship with the person who had ruined his life. Or even, Theo asks not to be born in the world because the presence of him makes many people suffer.

"No, Dad, you can't do that!"

**. “No, Dad, you can't do it.”*

"Bra...."

"I hate you, Dad. Really." Braga's hands clenched.

"Sorry......"

Theo hated himself for being unable to do anything at this moment, even to appease Braga who was already veiled with anger alone could not, how Theo became such a cowardly person. Even when Braga says insults, Theo has no right to feel angry, he also feels unworthy to be offended. That is the truth. The shameful truth.

"Daddy please.." no doubt, Theo knelt to equal his height with Braga, asked for mercy, dropped his pride, he did not care, what self-esteem means if the one asked is his own son. "Whatever makes you relieved, whatever, Daddy will do."

"Including leaving Mommy, leaving Bryna? Daddy would like to comply with my request about this?"

Even Braga flipped asking spontaneously without thinking long. Theo who heard like on the verge of death, back and forth fell. What would life be without them all. Theo couldn't, it was even too difficult to last this long. Theo's reason for keeping life was because he thought Rachel was his own son. But after knowing if it was a big mistake, Theo became aware and switched to maintaining life for the sake of people who are worthy of accountability.

"Can Daddy refuse, Son? No other choice?" to answer Braga's question Theo is still trying to negotiate, really the man is not willing to lose Roseta and her children again.

"Daddy can't lose you guys anymore. Daddy please." Imbuh Theo again, he was not ashamed because at this time one point of tears had already fallen on his cheek.

Self-worth is no more. It is too late to glorify the ego for its insignificant interests. Theo is well aware, Braga is harder than Roseta to deal with.

Braga smile. Not knowing what the little boy was thinking, it might be great to see his frustrated father. Theo knew very well, even his eyes were so clearly looking at Braga who raised both corners of his lips, but his heart was not calm because it had yet to get an answer.

"Sports aren't stupid, Dad. How could Braga let Bryna cry for losing her Daddy. But that doesn't mean Braga has forgiven Daddy. Daddy has to get a proper reply from Braga."

Straight away Theo hastily pulled Braga in his arms. The fool with Braga who is currently rebelling tries to resist. Even the strength of the boy was not comparable to Theo who had confined his small body in a crib, although Braga tried hard to escape, but his heart rebelled so as not to escape from the arms of his father, but his heart rebelled, ego Braga is very high.

"Thank you, Son. Reply all you want, until you're satisfied, kill Daddy's okay, too." Theo clenched tightly Braga had calmed down.

Braga smiled behind Theo's arms, then said, "No, Bryna will cry later, Braga does not want to be hated for life even though Braga really wants to shoot Daddy in the head as Om Saga says."

"WHAT?" Theo let go of his embrace.

Braga demonstrated with his right hand, aiming right in front of Theo's head. "Faul. Dor. I see, fitting in Daddy's head." he said without hesitation and lightly.

Theo then glared, his hands clenched tightly. He swore he would hit Saga on the head. He promised for that. Although the upset piled up on Saga, then Theo can never hate.

Theo did not want to think about Saga. He proceeded to pull Braga again in a hug. This time Braga. It's okay he thought, but next time Braga won't want to. If Bryna was okay because she was a normal woman to be spoiled, but if it was Braga, it would be very embarrassing if witnessed by many people, fortunately here only the two of them.

"Oma'll be here soon." Braga made a sound to make Theo's heart feel like stopping right now.

"Daddy knows." Theo's straightforward answer left Braga with a look of surprise.
