"Never reveal someone's past. Remember that! that Butterfly was once something disgusting before it became Beautiful".

---

In the morning, the atmosphere of the room in one of the apartment units still looks dark because the entire curtain is still tightly closed. There was only a small lamp in the nightstand that was the only light source in the place.

There were several vehicles honking because in front of the apartment it was a highway. And now it's time for someone to go to work to add to the financial coffers.

But it is different from someone who is busy sleeping in bed. She wrapped her body in a thick, gray blanket.

Unlike the people who had prepared to forage for sustenance out there, this was the time for the man to straighten his back and laze around. Yes this is the second day for him to take a break before working back at the giant company called Pradipta Group. He is Galih, Arjun's personal assistant.

He was lucky to work for the company. After traveling around Europe for 12 days, there are still 2 days for him to rest before returning to work.

And Galih did not waste 2 days to pamper himself.

Sleep like a hibernating bear.

Since yesterday, Galih really just kept quiet inside the house without doing any activities. And today the man plans to visit his parents and Bella.

This is Galih's promise to Bella before leaving for Europe at that time.

"Hooaammm..."

Galih squirms and rolls over on his big size bed.

Stretch the muscles of his body before actually getting up and opening his eyes.

"What time is it?" he muttered softly as he glanced at the small digital clock on the nightstand.

I slept at 9. long enough...

Back in Indonesia, did not make Galih forget the hangout. Yes last night he went to the usual nightclub with Arjun and Dion all along.

But last night Galih only came alone because Arjun was not feeling well while Dion might still be on his way from London.

Bare-chested, Galih sat down and rubbed her eyes repeatedly.

My body is really tired and sick...

Galih got up and opened the curtains of her room. Observe the scenery ahead there that is already crowded by vehicles.

Then I walked to the bathroom to clean myself up.

20 Minutes passed, Galih came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his lower body only. Take a change of clothes and replace them in the room as well.

Because he lives alone, Galih should not be ashamed to do so. It's different that Bella's staying here.

Galih first locked the door of his room when the morning activity.

Although actually Galih felt lazy to go back home, but want how else because he had promised Bella.

Since the events in the past, Galih's relationship with his father is a little stretched. Not fighting, it's just that Galih is no longer as familiar as his father.

Galih was ready, with some Paperbags in both hands Galih started leaving the apartment to the car.

And this morning, he really came back home.

***

"Mother.s came home," cried Bella to be the only sound created from a simple house on the outskirts of the Capital.

Making Mother who was in the kitchen immediately got up, walked in a hurry while drying both hands with a negligee she was wearing.

His mother Galih was washing dishes in the kitchen. Hearing her daughter's screams, Mother of course immediately ran to welcome her son's rarely seen arrival.

Sumringah's smile from Mother immediately greeted Galih's arrival. "Mother healthy?" tanya Galih immediately kissed the back of her mother's hand without hesitation.

"Mother is healthy.., your body looks thin Galih... Is there a problem?" asked the middle-aged woman worriedly.

Although she lives in one city, Galih is not like Bella who lives with her parents. Galih chose to live in the Apartment alone, of course, to be one reason to avoid the Father.

"No ma'am" replied Galih. Although there is a problem though, of course Galih does not want to tell his parents and Bella.

"Dad.. sister came home." cried Bella again.

"Huss. Don't yell, '" Mother asked Bella.

It would be a shame to be heard by their neighbors.

"Thank you, sister." replied Bella enthusiastically.

"It's for mom, and it's for dad." said Galih handing over all the Paperbags he brought.

"No need to carry this... I'm glad you came,".

Because what a mother needs is not a gift or anything. Seeing their children makes the hearts of parents so happy.

"Bel, try to call your father.." ask the mother. Because Dad was just behind, probably cutting a twig of a guava tree.

"No need ma'am, Galih is here until the afternoon anyway." refused Galih.

After all, it would also be awkward if Galih talked to Dad just alone or maybe the Father did not want to see him.

"Have you had breakfast?" ask Mother.

"Not yet,"

"Come, sister eat first." take Bella and immediately hug Galih's arm like a child.

Although it looks childish, but does not make Galih feel uncomfortable in the treatment of his sister like that. Because that's Bella's nature. Even with Dion and Arjun Bella has always been like that.

Instead of sitting in the dining chair, Mother was busy picking up rice and side dishes for her son. While Bella, without orders even though the girl immediately turned on the stove to boil water to make coffee.

"Do you need to cook it to take it home later in the afternoon?"

Galih lived alone so no one made a side dish for the man.

Usually Bella who was told by her mother to go to the Galih Apartment to bring food from Mother.

So that Galih simply heat it before eating.

"No need ma'am," refused Galih. Even the food that Bella brought last time was not eaten and of course will go into the trash. Isn't that the same as waste?

"Sister... Is Kak Arjun's wife pregnant?" bella asked, sitting next to Galih after putting a cup of hot coffee on the table.

"Some," answered Galih. Because he's not curious about it either. If there is, the work is not reduced.

Making Bella who was curious immediately pursed her lips.

Big brother is so stiff.

Until Galih had spent half of his breakfast, Suddenly from the back door appeared the figure of a tall man with gray hair that began to decorate his head.

Galih put down the spoon for a moment, staring at his father. Of course, making Mother and Bella also look in the same direction with their respective thoughts.

"Dad, Big Brother bought me something... You want to try it?" bella asked excitedly. Different with Galih and Mother who fell silent without saying anything.

The father did not answer his daughter's words and went straight into the bathroom. Make Galih's face back in pias and can only duck.

Maybe Mom is the person God created. The heart of a woman is very soft and easily touched. That's what can describe the figure of his mother Galih.

Seeing Galih's sad face, Mother directly touched her son's hand.

It's okay.so look Mom's eyes talking. Making Galih who used to be so sad, become a little entertained.

It's hard to fix a broken relationship. But not mean can not, it only takes a little longer to make a close relationship.

I'm pretty sure that someday, I'll forgive Galih's past mistakes.

The anger of parents, they will not allow or hate their children.

Because all parents certainly can not choose to have children as they expect.

Children are a reflection of their parents. And as parents we are required to be wise and without judging the mistakes of their children.

Education cannot always use violence. Do not just forbid not to do something inappropriate, but explain to children the reason why they should not do it.

"Silent brother... Bella will be behind her sister at any time." said Bella persuaded Galih.

Making Galih smile and ruffling the girl's hair.

"Sister.look at Mom," whined Bella and complained to her mother.

***

That's the relationship between Galih and his father...

they no longer talk since the incident Galih entangled with drugs a few years ago.
