Kusuma hastened his way, “Why didn't anyone say the same to me if Meli accident?”he asked all the staff and bodyguards who followed him from behind.
“Sorry sir”guntur replied one of Kusuma's trust assistants.
“Thunder,”Kusuma stopped his steps when right in front of the car door that has opened, “You know from when if Meli accident and. Why don't you talk to me?”
Thunder bowed his head feeling guilty towards Kusuma who was none other than his own boss. “Sorry sir, I did not say because,”his speech was interrupted, Thunder confused to tell the reason he did not talk if Meli accident.
“What?, Gun”desak Kusuma said so that Thunder would answer his question as clearly as possible.
“Well, I want to explain it on the trip”Thunder let Kusuma enter the car then he followed him sitting next to Kusuma who was actually anxious about the state of Meli.
“Jawab now”
“Alright, in fact I already know the day after the accident”ucapnnnnya got a sharp gaze from Kusuma, “My wife who told me if Meli accident, I want to tell you but...”again Thunder's answer stopped.
“What?”ask Kusuma curiously.
“But. Bu Lani forbade me to tell you guntur's father” replied to make Kusuma shocked and silent looking out the window.
“Why Lani told you not to say if my son was in an accident, Meli was my biological child”
Thunder stared at Kusuma for a while, “Please excuse me sir, I was horrified from my men. Bu Lani deliberately closed so that ga tau”gaputur answer, “Bu Lani also told the tv to broadcast if the accident occurred due to Meli's mistake that flushed during drunk”.
Kusuma glanced at Thunder,“Mabuk?”
Thunder nodded confirming what Kusuma asserted. “But sir, during this time I also assigned someone to supervise and accompany Meli also Rani”
“Ohya, Rani, how is it?”asked Kusuma who was starting to remember his youngest child.
“According to the information I got, Rani often along with four men who seem to be older than Rani”
“Males older?”
“Iya sir, I also still have not received any more information”
Kusuma looked out the car glass while thinking about his two daughters whom he abandoned a long time ago. All this time he has always focused on the company never had a little time for his daughters who must be in desperate need of existence.
“I'm sorry Lovely, sorry”batin Kusuma is sad.
During this time he considered that Lani could take care of his two daughters like looking after his own child, but increasingly increasing day, month and year, as well, now she realizes that Lani has always focused on herself and her only child. Lani never notices Hendra, Meli and Rani, Lani will just pretend to care and
love them when there is Kusuma.
Kusuma felt that he had failed to realize the ideals of his late wife who wanted him to become a papah figure who could be a role model for his children, papah who was always there when his children needed him, be happy with your children when sadness strikes.
But they are all ideals without reality. Kusuma cheated on his wife to have a child who was even older than Meli who was the second child of Kusuma and Indah. But because of her very good heart, Indah also told Kusuma to marry Lani and support her child properly.
Beautiful certainly heavy to make that decision, but she also did not want her husband to be an irresponsible person. Actually, Kusuma was framed by Lani so that Lani could marry Kusuma and take all the wariasan that Kusuma prepared for his wife and children later.
Until in the end Indah often fell ill and Kusuma rarely accompanied Indah because it was busy with business so it could not continue to be on the side of Indah which was getting weaker and weaker. But Hendra, Meli and Rani who was a child at that time, only Hendra was big enough, they always accompanied Indah until death to pick her up.
