THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapters 27. Athalla Apartment

After advising Stefani to go home and tell everything honestly to both her parents and brother. Athalla takes Kania to the supermarket like their original destination.

Half an hour spent shopping. They're back soon because the clock has shown at Eleven noon. It was time to talk to Stefani.

In the car, Kania can no longer close her curiosity about Stefani, Adit's sister. Kania can see from Stefani's gaze, if she likes Athalla.

"Mas, that Stefani seems to like you!" kania said slowly. However, for Athalla the voice of the woman was quite clear in her hearing.

Athalla smiled and grabbed Kania's hand, peeping it softly and long. He knew Kania wanted to investigate what was going on between her and Kania.

Stefani, Athalla recalls the time when the girl was always looking for her attention. However, Athalla only considers him as a younger brother. It's not that the man doesn't know or is insensitive if Stefani loves him.

Until one night, Stefani plays into Adit's apartment without telling her first. She sees Athalla having sex with her boyfriend Chika in the living room.

Athalla saw the shocked and sad face of Stefani. Stefani never met Athalla again. Until Athalla also witnessed Chika having sex with Adit in the same place, the middle room of Adit's apartment.

Not the anger or jontos that Athalla did, he immediately went and broke off the relationship with Chika and broke his friendship with Adit.

"Maybe he just likes being a brother. Wasn't I Adit's best friend. We used to be together wherever we went."

"Can I ask you one more question?" ask Kania.

Athalla glanced at her lover and smiled. He held Kania's hand again.

"What do you want to know? Let alone one question, a thousand may. I'll answer if I can!"

"Mas, am I not mistaken if you and Adit are no longer friends because of one woman?" ask Kania slowly.

"Do I have to say everything? For me, the past is not to be remembered or remembered. What else if it's a bad past and a heart wound. Better to forget everything. We don't have to look back."

Athalla drove his car at a moderate speed. She recalled the time Stefani used to tease her, but it was fortunate that she only thought sister had no feelings for the girl.

"Kania, everyone has a past, make the story of your past as a teacher to become a better person. Save your past as a lesson. The more you carry it, the harder it is to get to the future. Do not live with regrets. Mistakes are a lesson. Enjoy your life, make it a memory worth telling. Memories remain but don't focus there. Our lives are not for memories but for the future" Athalla said with a smile."

Arriving at the parking lot of his apartment, Athalla got out of the car and took the food they bought to cook and eat while making a proposal for cooperation with the company they won yesterday.

Meanwhile, at Adit's parents' house. The man was waiting for his sister. He wanted to talk to Stefani after the bad news.

"So she wanted breakfast. Maybe lunch too!"

"Did you see anything different about Stefani?" ask Adit.

"You mean?"

"Do you know who Stefani's close friends are? What's he doing outside?"

"Where does Mama know? Mom is busy with work. This is Mama at home because she is tired of coming home from Bali. Why Stefani? You make me curious!" say Mama.

Adit did not have time to answer, heard footsteps of someone. Adit saw who came and it turned out that his sister Stefani had been waiting for.

Without greeting Adit or his mother Stefani went straight upstairs to his room. Adit ran following. Mom went into the room to rest.

Adit pushes the door before Fani closes and locks it. His sister looked angry to see Adit who entered his room with coercion.

"What do you want?" stefani. He and his brother never got along. There is no courtesy and respect for each other brothers.

"Is this you?" said Adit showed a video of perverted lovers. The player's face is slightly blurred but remains clear to people who know the perpetrator closely.

"I don't know!" answer Stefani. He was surprised to see all of that. Pretending not to know. Stefani did not expect that his perverted video had been circulated. He chose to sit on the edge of the bed. His body feels weak. What would he say. His brother must have known him.

"Tell me honestly! It's obviously you!" bentak Adit's.

Stefani did not answer Adit's remarks. However, her crying broke out. He did not know where to hide his face.

"Don't cry! Answer my question! Is this you!" yell Adit.

Stefani can't possibly cover all that up anymore. As Athalla said, he has to be honest. Maybe Adit can help her.

"That's me! What do you want?" ask Stefani sobbing.

Adit shocked. Although he was already convinced it was his sister, but when he had to accept the fact, he was still shocked.
