...Happy Reading's...

...❤...

The day has gone late afternoon. But the two men were still silent in an artificial lake located not far from the city.

Ezra and Ayu.

Yes, the two of them were sitting on a chair made of wood on the side of the lake.

The memories of both of them returned to the scene this morning.

Flashbacks

"At least, there will be no news if the wife of successful businessman Larry Ardinata has been arrested by police in his own home" Keenan said.

"No! I don't want to! I didn't do anything, why would I follow your wishes!" arumi.

"You better just talk about all the defences at the police station!" Kemal.

"Mas, get rid of them all, Mas. I'm not wrong, I've never done that!" yelled Arumi, shaking Larry's hand.

"Stop, stop Arumi. Take care of all this, I'm disappointed in you Arumi. Why are you doing all this to my family?" the middle-aged man, looked at the wife's bead with heightened emotions.

Anger, anger, disappointment and sadness were all mixed together into one. Now he must bear to let his wife to come to the police station, as punishment for what the wife has done.

Yes, all this time he never thought that his second wife was able to do such a cruel thing. Because from the beginning of marriage Arumi looks like a simple girl who is friendly and loving.

Because of all that, he wanted to marry Arumi at that time.

But since a few years ago, all his assumptions about Arumi have been broken and changed with deep disappointment.

"Why, doesn't Mas believe me either? Do you trust them more?" arumi looked at Larry with disappointment.

"I should have asked you why you did all this to my son and prevented me from meeting my own daughter!" press Larry.

"Who's your daughter? You only have one daughter, Melati .. She's your only daughter!" yelled Arumi, starting to get emotionally hooked.

"Don't forget that I'm also one of the daughters of your husband, Mrs Ardinata!"

The voice of a woman, from the direction of the main door, distracts everyone who is in the living room of the mansion.

Ayunindia Clarissa

Yes, the lady walked gracefully confidently, stepping inside the living room without anyone allowing her first.

Ezra and Keenan smiled at the arrival of the woman, while Ansel was struck by surprise when he saw his sister was already there.

Larry stared at the beautiful face that was very similar to his late first wife. In his heart he harbored a great longing and guilt for his daughter.

While Arumi, looking full of anger at Ayu's arrival, his face was flushed red with eyes filled with hatred.

"Assalamualaikum, everyone. Sorry I came suddenly and disturbed all of you," said Ayu, firmly.

His gaze circulated staring one by one at the people in the room, with a thin smile that decorated his beautiful face.

"You? Why did you come to my house?!" jolt Arumi, immediately stand up and get closer to Ayu.

"I came to see my father? Indeed why? Does a child want to meet his or her own father?" tanya Ayu at length.

His face looked calm, without the slightest ripple of fear or hesitation.

Ezra, Keenan and Ansel could not even blink their eyes, looking at the woman's current attitude.

"Who's Dad? He's not your father! You're just a bastard son of that damn woman!" arumi shouted emotionlessly with her hands pointing at Ayu's face.

"Arumy!" Larry immediately stood up and approached Arumi and Ayu who were looking at each other.

Ayu turned her gaze to the middle-aged man. At first glance their eyes were wrong.

However, quickly, Ayu severed their eye link, and switched back to the woman in front of her.

"Listen yes, Mrs Ardinata ... You may insult and try to harass my honor. But do not even insult my mother, the woman who has given birth and raised me alone, without being accompanied by anyone. The woman you have taken her happiness for mere possessions."

Ayu said at length, with reddened eyes holding all the anger that now urgently wants to be released.

He really doesn't like it when someone insults his mother. To her the mother was one of the most precious of her life, and the angel of her life.

Nothing can replace a mother in her life. Even to this day, all the memories with his mother, still stored in his heart and also his memory.

"Arumi, you don't go too far!" and Larry again.

Ansel stood up and approached his sister, embracing her in an embrace.

"The mother who is despicable now, is my mother too. Why, Mah? Not satisfied with your mom getting Papah?" ansel asked, his tone low. But a little pressing.

Her heart ached hearing the insults her stepmother had said to her mother and younger siblings.

"You don't know how I feel?!" yell hysterically at the woman again.

"You! You don't know, do you, Mas? I love you so much, even from the beginning I saw you. But, with the heart you refuse our matchmaking just because of that damn woman! The mother of them!"

"Do you know why I gave you that medicine? It was all because I was afraid that you would leave me back, when the memory of them was present again among us!"

"I'm sick of it, Mas. I'm jealous! Even when you don't remember the woman, in your sleep you always say her name! You know what, Mas? My heart burns every time you say his name!"

Arumi roared, letting out everything in her heart all this time. His gaze was agitated at Larry, with tears breaking, accompanying his every word.

Every speech Arumi made the middle-aged man grin, speechless.

He was shocked at everything his wife had said.

"You too! You never even considered me your mother? Even Melati, my son, your father's flesh and blood, you never thought it existed either!"

"You know, how painful it is to see your own child at the hands of the closest person, just because someone who doesn't even know where he is, huh?!"

Arumi turns to Ansel, her index finger pointing right at her stepson.

"You know, how hurt a mother is, seeing her child cry alone just for wanting affection from her brother?!"

Ansel fell silent, now there was guilt tucked in his heart to Melati.

"The two of you are with me, your bodies I can have. But not with my heart, I can't even find a gap to get into your heart. You can imagine how much I hurt!" shouted the woman again, sharing her gaze on the two men who had been decorating her life.

"Am I wrong to want happiness for me and for my child? I was just expecting a little bit of your affection! But why is it all so hard for me to get?!"

"Now you're taking me to jail? Please ... I will not fight, if this is the price I must pay for my daughter's happiness!"

"Yes, I admit all my mistakes. I'm the one who's been trying to keep you away from him! I also told people to teach this woman a lesson!" point Arumi at Ayu.

"You know why? That's all I'm doing because since his arrival, your attention has been on him! You, Mas .. You even forgot Melati's birthday!"

All of Arumi's confessions made the person who was there, a thousand words silent.

Ayu stared at the dead red face of her stepmother, diving into a beautiful bead filled with deep disappointment and fiery anger.

Flash back off

"It's late in the afternoon, you still want to be here?" ask Ezra lirih.

Ayu straightened her body, as the voice of the man spread out all his banquet. Removing tears that have already dripped.

"Have it, don't blame yourself for the crimes of others? Whatever the reason he did was still wrong" Ezra said in a soft voice.

"Follow"

"Sstt .. there is no defense for every crime, he has chosen the wrong path to achieve happiness and that must be accounted for." Ezra immediately cut Ayu's words.

"Let's find out, is it true that he said it or is it just an alibi to make you feel guilty like you do now, huh?" Ezra stared intensely at the sad face of the woman by his side.

Ayu nodded her head, agreeing to what the man who had accompanied her from the beginning said, in the face of this matter.

"Thank you, you've always helped me deal with my problems. I don't even know what to repay all your kindness in any way" Ayu said, bowing deeply.

"You don't need to reply to anything, I've been sincere in helping you all this time. Besides, it's my duty to protect the people I love, isn't it?"

Ayu immediately raised her head, looking at Ezra with her eyebrows furrowed.

Ezra only smiled warmly, responding to the woman's surprised reaction.

"Come, we better get home. It looks like it will soon rain" said Ezra, distracting Ayu.

The woman nodded awkwardly, stood up and walked along with Ezra, towards her car and the man's car was parked.

Yes, as usual, Ezra follows Ayu who drives fast after seeing Arumi taken to the police station. Because indeed only Ezra can match the speed of Ayu's car when he wants to forget the sadness in his heart.

"Where's my car?" asked Ayu, when she saw that her car was no longer in the place where she was born earlier.

"I won't let you drive, as long as your heart isn't calm. You better get in now," said Ezra, who had opened the passenger door in his car, for Ayu.

Ayu grimaced at the attention given by the man.

There was a warm feeling in his heart, but there was something stuck and that was okay.
