THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 40. Between Pekanbaru and Batam

Kania took her breath. He had just arrived in the city of Batam. Kania knows that Athalla is not a random person. If he cared, and wanted to find out where he was would be very easy to track down. Kania left for Pekanbaru by plane.

To trick Athalla's men who might be looking for him, Kania went to the city of Batam using the waterway. By boat, Kania reached Batam city. Kania's college friend named Tari will accommodate him there.

Kania will work at one of the biggest companies in the city. The application has Kania sent through online. Just waiting for an interview call.

Athalla who has heard why Kania went to his parents' house. Athalla finds out that Mami asked Kania to leave the CCTV footage.

Athalla sees Papi and Mami watching in the television room. Athalla immediately sat down without welcome.

Mami and Papi looked at Athalla with astonished faces. The boy looked very serious. I don't know what his son wants to say.

"Mi, tell me honestly! What did you say to Kania when Mami met her at the office?" ask Athalla with great emphasis.

Mami Athalla was shocked to hear her son's question. Was it Kania who had complained to Athalla? It turned out that the woman was quite dangerous and not easy to press. His face looked sincere and did not say much. However, he can pit himself and his son Athalla.

"Emang Kania complained what to you?" Not to answer Athalla's question but Mami asked back.

Athalla smiled with a smile. Mami not admitting her fault but accusing Kania who is not - if only not remembering that the woman before her now who has given birth to her. Athalla must have said rudely.

"Mi, how will Kania complain if she has gone far because of Mami?" ask Athalla with words full of emphasis.

Papi who was initially silent only heard began to understand the direction of the conversation of his wife and child. So Kania's son's lover leaves town after Mami meets him. His wife had a story about his worry about his son's lover who turned out to have stains in the past.

Not wanting his wife to feel cornered by his own son, the Papi finally spoke up. Defend what the mother of her son did.

"Why do you blame Mami for the woman's departure. He may have left because he had planned. He wants to get away from the city where everyone knows his disgrace" Papi said.

He would not forgive his parents if everything he thought was done by Kania. Did his parents not know the cause of Stefani's death? Think Athalla.

"Papi, Mami, do you know the cause of Stefani's death her sister Adit?" ask Athalla.

Papi and Mami looked at each other. As if asking if I knew. They did come to the funeral home yesterday but Adit's parents only said if his son died of illness.

"Stefani committed suicide because he could not accept pressure from his family and those around him who saw his perverted video circulating. Just like Kania did. Doesn't Mami feel guilty if it turns out Kania did the same thing after Mami pressured her?"

Athalla paused his words. Her chest felt tight imagining if all that was done Kania.

From his man Athalla got word if Kania went to the city of Pekanbaru. However, after being tracked again his trail disappeared. A taxi carrying him from the airport in Pekanbaru city drove him to an inn. Traced at the inn there was never the name of Kania staying there.

Papi and Mami are shocked to hear the cause of Stefani's death. They did not expect the son of a successful and famous businessman to end his life by suicide. And even more surprising, the cause of his suicide because of his perverted video circulating.

Mami thought about what Athalla said. What if Kania also committed suicide after she asked Kania to leave because she did not approve of her relationship with Athalla?

"Mommy shouldn't interfere with my life choices. Mami, Papi, it's not just Kania who has a stain on the past. I'm the same. More than Kania. Papi and Mami only knew I was a drug user in my past. Not only is that my disgrace Pi, Mi!"

Athalla took a deep breath. Paused. He has to be honest about his past.

"I used to be a free se*ks. I have sex with my lover over and over again" murmured Athalla. However, his voice can still be heard by his parents.

Papi, especially Mami does not believe in Athalla's confession.
