The Secret Of Siyyara And Gallen's Heart
32. Aira Truth

Gallen sat pensively while continuing to drink his liquor until it ran out 2 bottles. He really wanted to ruin his own life.

"Gallen, that's enough. Come on, I'd better take you home" Kinan said.

Kinan followed Gallen when Gallen left his office, and now here they are, Gallen heads to the Bar and drinks and smokes as he pleases.

Kinan continued to ban Gallen, but the words Kinan were never considered by Gallen.

"Gallen, you're changing now. What makes you become like this? Just because of a girl like her, you risked your own life, Gallen. Be aware, don't spoil your body with this illicit drink."

"Shut up." Gallen glanced at Kinan sharply.

"Don't interfere with my personal affairs" Gallen said half drunk.

"I'm entitled to interfere, because you're Aira's father."

"FUCK ENOUGH!"

Kinan flinched with a Gallen clash. Gallen has really changed. He's not the old Gallen anymore, who always said softly to women.

"Don't ever drag me back into that disgusting problem of yours. And don't you ever mention that bastard again. Because he's not my son."

"Gallen! Don't insult Aira here!"

"Why? Didn't you just make me your scapegoat? You caused Aira's father to die. And I'm just helping you with funding Aira's life, but you're missing out by being present in my life to make Siyyara misunderstand me and leave me!" Shouted Gallen's doom. He doesn't care if he's still in the bar.  He did not care if his screams would be heard by many people.

"If you had told Aira that if I wasn't her real father, it would have been impossible for something like this to happen" Gallen continued.

Kinan looked at Gallen with a look of injured eyes, he was crying silently.

"Then what should I do? When he understood something, he accidentally found a picture of his father. And he asked me, is that man his father? And I said yes, because that man is his real father. She kept forcing me to bring her up with her father, I couldn't bear to answer that her father had been gone since she was still in my womb. I directed him to you, too" Kinan said honestly.

"That's your fault" said Gallen quickly.

"Then why didn't Siyyara ask for your explanation? He should have asked for an explanation from you before he left, right?"

"The day I met Aira, I accidentally called her, until she heard me talk to you and Aira."

"Then if you're in Siyyara's position, do you still want to ask again, after hearing everything directly?" Gallen.

Kinan was silent, what Gallen said was true. It is natural that Siyyara is angry after knowing everything, but Siyyara makes the mistake of leaving a man as good as Gallen, and is more concerned with his ego. He made the mistake of leaving without asking Gallen for an explanation.

"I'll help you find Siyyara" Kinan said, trying to comfort Gallen.

"If he does exist, surely my men will find him, but he's like hiding and doesn't want to be found."

Kinan was sad when he saw the man he loved was sad and desperate.

"At least we're trying," Kinan said.

"And stop ruining yourself" Kinan continued.

Gallen was silent, even though he was drunk and his mind was half unconscious, but he could still digest Kinan's words.

"I'm sorry, Gallen. It's all my fault, you deserve to be happy with the girl of your choice, you shouldn't have to endure something that isn't your fault. Again I'm sorry." Kinan looked sad. Although his initial intention came to Indonesia because he wanted to win back Gallen's heart, but it looks like he has no chance to get Gallen's heart. Gallen is not a man who loves someone easily, and now he has proven himself that he loves Siyyara more deeply, his love for Siyyara than for himself.

Kinan got up from his seat and again warned Gallen, lest he return home from the spot.

"Go home, Gallen. Your mother must be sad when she sees you like this. Struggle. When he comes back, I promise. I'll explain everything, I'll take Aira away from you" Kinan said in a trembling tone.

"Don't" replied Gallen wistfully.

"Mama deserves to know that she already has a granddaughter. Don't take Aira before you bring her to Mama" Gallen continued.

"Hiks. I'm ashamed, Len. I've lost Aunt Amanda's happiness by taking her son. Hiks, I'm afraid she hates me" Kinan said.

Gallen looked at Kinan with an unreadable look.

*******

2 Years later.

Gallen was busy playing with Aira in the garden behind her house, they were both joking and laughing together. Kinan smiled gently as he watched Gallen and Aira's familiarity. Even the nature of the two is almost similar.

"You don't want to join them?" Ask Amanda who is behind Kinan.

"Ah, Auntie?" Kinan jumped in shock because of the presence of Amanda that he was not aware of.

"What's wrong?" Ask Amanda.

"No, Aunt. There's nothing. I just don't want to ruin their happiness. I'm happy that Gallen is living his life as it used to be" Kinan said, looking at Gallen and his daughter.

"You know? I hate you so much, Kinan. Because you've made my son leave me" exclaimed Amanda.

"And with your arrival again, you also made Gallen lose his identity." Amanda looked down at Kinan. The one in the face only closed his eyes, to dispel the tears that wanted to wet his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Auntie." Kinan's voice trembled violently, his guilt seething in his heart.

"But I also thank you for taking care of my grandson, taking good care of Alveros' son. I'm grateful to you. I also thank you for introducing Aira to me.

"That's my duty, Aunt."

flashback - Flashback.

Tok tok tok tok

"Yes, just a minute."

Amanda walked quickly to the main door.

Cklek.

After the door opened, Amanda was astonished to see Gallen and Kinan's doctor who used to treat her.

"Gallen? What's up?" Ask Amanda to Gallen.

"Ma, Gallen wants to introduce Mama to someone" Gallen said.

Amanda scrunched her forehead and her gaze focused on Kinan who was beside Gallen.

"Ma, her introduction is Kinan, and the little girl with him is Mama's granddaughter, her name is Aira Marcella Damestria." Amanda was increasingly astonished and did not understand what Gallen said.

"meaning? What do you mean, Gallen? Mama has a grandchild?"

"Yes, Ma. Gallen better explain inside. Come, ma. Let's go Kinan."

Kinan nodded and took Aira to enter Gallen's house.

"What do you want to explain, Gallen?" Amanda asked, after her guests sat on the living room sofa.

"It has something to do with Alveros, Ma." Amanda gasped at the name of one of her long-dead sons.

"Al-Alveros?"

"Yes, Ma. Gallen wanted to say that Kinan was Alveros' lover, and they already had children before they were married, and his son was in front of Mama. The boy's name is Aira. Mama already has a granddaughter from Alveros" Gallen explained.

Amanda's gaze was fixed on Aira who was staring at her innocently, Amanda's heart trembled looking at the exact same eyeball as Alveros's, her face was also very similar to Alveros. Perhaps for those who do not know, they will think Aira is the son of Gallen because the faces of Alveros and Gallen are the same. They are twins.

"Aira, come here, son. Come hug the oma," said Amanda gently by stretching out her hands, to welcome her granddaughter.

"Mom." Aira approached Amanda and hugged her.

Gallen smiled as his mother accepted Aira's presence. Kinan also smiled as he saw Aira smiling happily in his Oma embrace.

"If only your Papa would still be around. Oma will be even happier" Amanda said slowly.

"Aira dear Oma," cried Aira cheerfully.

"Yes, Oma also loves Aira."

Kinan looked at Gallen for an opinion if he would explain everything to Siyyara's misunderstanding of Gallen.

But Gallen shook his head, a sign that Gallen disagreed. Gallen did not want to because of Kinan's explanation, making his mother hate Kinan.

When looking at Gallen's sleigh code, Kinan always braced himself to keep telling Amanda the truth. Kinan felt that Amanda deserved to know the reason for Alveros' death.

"Tante," call Kinan.

Gallen straightened his body.

"Ma, we should have dinner together. Is Tristan home?" Tanya Gallen switched Kinan's conversation.

"Tante, wait a minute. There's something Kinan wants to explain a little."

"What's up, Kinan?"

"Actually Alveros was in an accident because he was angry with Kinan. He left with a lot of anger from Kinan's apartment at that time," Kinan said slowly.

"Anged at you?"

"Yes Aunt. Kinan did not love Alveros, but Kinan loved Gallen."

Amanda rounded her eyes, she looked at Kinan seriously.

"Kinan tried to get close to Gallen, but Gallen was still in his position, he did not want to be in a relationship with any girl. He wants to focus on his goals."

"Then before long Alveros told him his love for Kinan, and Kinan accepted Alveros because of their similar faces. Kinan thought, Kinan would be able to forget about Gallen when Kinan was in a relationship with Eros. But for so long, Kinan still had feelings for Gallen. Until then Eros himself knew Kinan's true feelings. He knows if Kinan loves Gallen, then he. He was so angry and he desecrated Kinan." Kinan.

"From that relationship Kinan was pregnant, and when Eros came to Kinan's apartment, Kinan told him that Kinan was pregnant with his child. Not happy, but he instead accused Kinan if the child in Kinan's womb was Gallen's son."

"Kinan is angry because of Eros' accusation. Out of anger, Kinan also did not think of Eros feelings. At that time Kinan also told Eros if the baby Kinan was his son Gallen. Because he himself thinks so." Kinan sobbed, he deeply regretted his actions.

"He was even more angry when Kinan said that. He left just like that after going berserk in Kinan's apartment. And that's when Kinan's last meeting with Eros."

"Then?" Amanda looked at Kinan with an expressionless look. Kinan was afraid to continue his story.

"After Eros died, Gallen found out that Kinan was pregnant. Because he did not have the heart of Kinan, he always looked after and provided for Kinan, even he intended to marry Kinan after Kinan gave birth. But on our wedding day, Gallen knew the cause of Eros's death, and Gallen was furious at Kinan, who had died, Gallen cancelled our wedding and she flew to Indonesia and left Kinan and Aira alone there."

Kinan looked up and looked at Amanda's face, and could see if it looked very disappointed to him.

"If only you hadn't dealt with Eros' anger, he might have lived to this very moment, Kinan. You're evil for dragging Gallen into your personal affairs!" Snarl Amanda violently.

"Ma, stop. It's just the past, don't talk about it anymore." Gallen doesn't want Amanda to become resentful of Kinan.

"Tante," call Kinan again.

"Is there any more secrets? Tell me everything!" Amanda looked at Kinan full of hatred.

"Siyyara left Gallen, it's all because-"

"Because what?" Amanda's fast.

"Siyyara misunderstood Gallen. He thinks if Gallen already has a son from me, he's sala-"

"NOW!" Shouted Amanda loudly.

"Do you swear to destroy my family? Answer!"

"No, Aunt. Aunt misunderstood, i-"

"I hate you. Get out of my house right now!"

"Oma?" Call Aira in a plain voice. Amanda looked up at her granddaughter.

"Ma, don't scream. There's Aira, Ma. Don't throw Kinan away" Gallen said in a soft tone.

"Don't be angry again, Ma. Anger is not good for your health" Gallen said.

Amanda glanced at Gallen, deeply concerned for Gallen, as love approached Gallen, but the love had to leave Gallen alone. He must have suffered so much from having to be abandoned by the person he loved so much, let alone that love was his first love.

flashback off -

Amanda took a deep breath, it has been 2 years but Siyyara did not return, Gallen became a more closed person than before. Amanda is very worried that Gallen will not be able to forget Siyyara, and she will continue to be single for life. Amanda didn't want that to happen to her son.

"Kinan, forgive Auntie for hating you" said Amanda who tried to break the silence.

"It's okay Auntie. Kinan understands Aunt's anger."

Amanda looked at Kinan fixedly. Kinan was so wrong when looked at like that by Amanda.

"Excuse me, is Gallen here?" Ask someone to Mr. Nara happens to be at Gallen's house, because she just gave Gallen an important file.

"There, sir. Wait a minute, I'll call you."

"No need, I have to leave immediately. Give this invitation to her."

"Well, I'll give you this invitation for him."

"Thank you" replied the man.
