The Incomplete Love
Uncovered

After finishing packing, Liam and Kala were still unable to sleep. They are very excited about the trip to tomorrow.

“Kala, can you please grab a pair of scissors. I've seen Uncle Thoriq store in his office drawer.”

“Ay, ay, captain.”

Kala rushed to the study room located on the second floor of Thoriq's house. From between the doors, his sister's room lights were turned off. While the main room where his father slept was on the bottom floor facing the backyard.

Slowly, Kala opened the door of the study.

“Many bet drawers anyway. Which one is try?” Mumbled. Then he started opening the drawers.

Finally in the drawer next to the study table he found scissors. At a glance in the drawer he saw a letter with the writing of his mother. Kala picked up a letter that was stored neatly in plastic and read it.

Tears welled up, the letter was Qiara's farewell letter to Thoriq. It turns out that it is true Liam's assumption that Aira's mother is the cause of Buna and Aya separated.

“Kala, what are you doing?”

Thoriq was surprised to find Kala in his study. He accidentally climbed into the study room because he forgot to lock the drawer where he kept the letter from Qiara.

When surprised, the letter fell. Thoriq ran to pick it up as if the letter was a glassware to be guarded.

Shocked by her father's reaction, Kala shuffled and ran to her room.

“Dapet scissors?”

Liam was stunned to see Kala's wet eyes. Her sister almost never cried.

“Kala, what’s wrong?”

“I want to go home tomorrow, Liam. I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to meet Aya and Aira.”

Liam frowned seeing the change in Kala's attitude.

I heard the door of the room knocking.

“Kala, Liam, can enter?”

“No! Aya far. If you want to pack, tomorrow you want to go home!”

“Silent time, dong. Hey, what’s the matter?” Liam holds his sister.

Not answering her sister, Kala took her clothes and suitcase. The teenager was struck by the letter he read.

Liam opened the door for Thoriq.

“Kala, can Aya clearin?”

“It’s true! You cheated on my mom. I hate you!”

“Liam, can Uncle talk to Kala?”

Liam nodded then exited the room. He was worried about his sister, but understood that this problem could only be solved between Kala and Thoriq.

On the stairs he meets Aira who awakens due to the noise.

“Mas Kala why?”

“Jot to Uncle. Aira down, yuk. We give them privacy.”

Aira nodded, she worried about her father and brother who sounded bad.

In the room, Kala was still pacing back and forth, putting his clothes in. Then take another suitcase and put all Liam's stuff in.

Thoriq waited until Kala's anger subsided. This is what I'm worried about. Not only will Kala be hostile to him but also hate Aira.

“Kala, istighfar. Angry is the devil's doing.”

“When Aya, remarried, Aya was also possessed by demons, right? What's the difference between Aya and Kala?”

“You should be better than Aya ..” he said softly.

Kala looked at her father with fiery eyes.

“Kala, listen first Aya story, after this, you can determine the attitude. Allow Aya to call Aira, as this also concerns your sister.”

“I don't care. I want to go with Buna.”

“Kalandra Akira Putra Thoriq,” call Thoriq firmly.

“Aya ask you to sit down first, this is not a good thing to hear but it seems like this is the time you know. Wait a minute, Aya call Aira.”

Thoriq called Aira who came with Liam. Both of them put on worried and wondering faces.

“Aira, in. Liam, Uncle talked about family matters first. Would you wait outside?”

“Uncle, if you don't mind me coming in, because you can later tell Buna and Daddy.”

After weighing, Thoriq finally allowed Liam in. The teenager immediately stood next to Kala who did not want to be near his father and sister. His hands are folded on his chest.

“Mas Kala ..”

Not wanting to snap, Kala just snorted, making Aira squeak.

“Againly Aya did not want to tell you this. Because in addition to still painful for Aya, there will be an impact for Kala and Aira.”

Thoriq looks nervous.

“Aira, do you like to see Aya read letters in plastic? It was a farewell letter from Aunt Qia to Aya. Mas Kala accidentally read it.”

Aira never once read a letter that always made her father sad. Hearing Kala find and find out the contents of the letter made her surprised.

Thoriq begins his story, “Aya was only married a few months to Buna when Grandpa and Grandma asked to marry her mother Aira, her name is Hanna. Hanna's mother is very sick and asks Aya to take care of her. Forgive Aya, because finally Aya agreed because Grandpa and Grandma to their knees begging.”

As the story flows, Thoriq carefully chooses what to tell for fear that it will set a bad example for his children.

“Pardon Aya's decision that hurt Buna. Forgive Aya who did not know when Buna was pregnant with you. Forgive Aya who couldn't love your mama, Aira.”

Kala and Aira were both stunned. They have seen a lot of divorces that occur in parents of friends. But it turns out their parents' story is more complicated.

“Liam is right, Aya has not been able to move on from Buna and there is trauma to build a relationship because Aya has hurt two women at once. Make Aya the most important thing now is to keep Kala and Aira.”

The soft-hearted Aira hugged her father. Now the boy did not dare to look at Kala because it was his mother who destroyed the happiness of his father and Qiara.

“Aya regretted only briefly being able to be a husband for your Buna. But Aya can't regret the marriage with Aunt Hanna. Aya and Aunt Hanna's marriage produced Aira. You know Ai, your name is Buna who made it long before Aya married your mama.”

Thoriq took a breath. “Anged, disappointed, and maybe eventually fed up with leaving. Forgive Aya ..”

Kala faced out the window, looking away into the pitch darkness of that night. Liam looked at his sister, worried about Kala's reaction to his father's words.

Aira came closer to her brother.

“Mas Kala, sorry Aira's mother who made Aunt Qia separate from Aya. Must be mad at Aira, right? Aira willingly, but please do not be angry with Aya .. Aya already suffered greatly from parting from Aunt Qia and living far from Mas.”

Kala looked at Aira with a strange look then her gaze turned to Thoriq.

“Hanna ... Hanna .. is this the man who once abducted Kala?”

Aira was wide-eyed, she didn't know this story at all.

Thoriq sighed, “True.”

“Astaghfirullahaladzim!” Aira covered her mouth with both hands. The boy could no longer look at his brother. While sobbing Aira ran to her room. Bergeming Kala just stared at her sister out of the room with a cold look.

This was what Thoriq had feared all along. So many mistakes Hanna made to Qiara and Kala that Aira would accept the consequences.

“Kala just want to be the same Liam, Aya.”

With a heavy heart Thoriq stood up, he wanted to hug Kala but his steps stopped seeing his son throw his face.

“Pardon Aya and her mother Aira. But please, don't take this to Aira. Your sister does not understand you and is just as surprised. Again sorry. Take two rakaat prayers to calm down.”

Thoriq looked at his son's back, knowing that Kala was crying. Liam gave her a code to get out. With gontai, Thoriq stepped in to leave his son.

In front of Aira's room, Thoriq was stunned to hear Aira sobbing.

“Ai, open the door, Aya wants to enter.”

“Aira peeper himself first. Aya rest aja.”

“Aira ..”

“Please, Yes. Aira just need to cry for relief.”

“If you want to chat come to the workspace. Tonight it looks like Aya can't sleep.”

With no answer from her son, Thoriq decides to go to her study. Sucking coffee from a coffee machine placed there, he sat down and thought. Not long after he dialed the phone number.

“Dev, hi, are you busy? Can we talk?

***

In the room, Kala was still standing pecking in front of the window. Every tear flowed, he hurriedly rubbed with his hands.

Liam put the clothes in the suitcase. Also take all the toiletries.

“Done, so what is our plan now?”

“Search tickets, tomorrow I want to go home.”

“Okay, I can use Daddy's credit card. Hope you get a ticket. Last minute's. Sit this will be a while.”

Kala followed her brother's orders. He sat down but his eyes were still looking out.

“Kor didn't I get angry?”

“Start ..naturally a child is angry that his mother is hurt. In two tickets, I enter our data. Your passport in the bag?”

Kala nodded. Liam opened the bag and took Kala's passport and searched for his own.

“You pray first gih, your face nyeremin.”

Sighing, Kala took ablution water and then prayed two rakaats. Liam typing in his hape.

On the prayer mat Kala who is confused must behave how to raise both hands. The prayer is short and plain, “Yes Allah, Kala does not know how to. Angry but also affectionate with Aya and Aira. Help Kala, yes Allah.”

After folding the prayer mat and taking off her cocoa shirt and sarong, she sat down beside her brother's bed.

“Dapet tickets? Can be canceled?”

“I haven't ordered.”

“Loh earlier?”

“Pura-pretend. Kala, I want to say something. Aya and her mother Aira did have a mistake, but Aya really loves you. I can see from Uncle's attitude. Aira too. She adores you from childhood. We have no share in their past lives, but for the future we can determine. Good example, throw away the ugly.”

“I'm disappointed with Aya.”

Liam patted his sister's shoulder. “I see, Uncle is also disappointed with him. But not shown because it keeps Aira feeling. Enjoy being with Aya. You know my mother is dead. Although Buna was a wonderful mother, but I always miss Mommy. I want to be able to hug and hug Mommy. You have plenty of opportunities, don't waste them. What has passed already. I think taking bitter medicine should be swallowed as well. That's looking for sweet lemonade.”

Kala silently pondered Liam's words.

“You’re good, you know ..”

“Experience of years,” says Liam relaxed. The brother-sister duo tos each other.

“I'm sleepy, you meet Aya and Aira must be worried. Tell your father I'm still here two weeks if you want to tell me, anytime. Biar plong's. If I had gone back to London, I would have been busy.”

“Okidoki .. I find Aya first. Good night and thanks, bro.”

“No worries, Bro.” Liam lifted the blanket and turned off the nightstand and in an instant closed his eyes with a smile on his back.

When I saw the work room lights were still on. Slowly he knocked on the door.

Thoriq had just finished the sunnah prayer immediately stood up thinking that Aira was coming.

Not expecting Kala who was standing while looking at him timidly, Thoriq immediately hugged. Kala returned his embrace.

“I’m sorry, Aya. I wasn’t supported to read the letter,” he said as he sobbed. Thoriq kissed the head of his son speechless.

Aira's bedroom door opens. The little girl timidly looked at her brother.

“This Deck, family hug.”

Aira immediately hugged her father and brother. All three were in tears. Their hearts are full of gratitude for still being given the chance to be a family.

From the stairs, Liam peeking, “My job is almost done. Next, Uncle Thoriq.”
