On his way to the front of the house, Mr. Zayen and his wife remained silent. His gaze was also blank, it was simply powerless to deal with his daughter-in-law.
"Zayen, Afna, let's go down. You two can definitely deal with it, Papa trusts you both. Remember Zayen, Afna, you still have Niko who will be your son's successor. Don't follow your grief, it's just your deceit that makes you both more fragile. Face everything roomily, all will have their turn." Said Grandpa Alfan inviting his son and daughter-in-law to immediately enter the house.
"What Papa says has a point, Zayen, Afna. Let's go down, you two aren't alone. We will all accompany you two to explain to your daughter-in-law, I'm sure that Lunika is a strong woman." Sahut the mother chimed.
Having no other choice, Mr. Zayen and his wife simply nodded their heads. A strong and stout figure, it had now turned weak helpless. Not because he was not willing to lose his son, but was unable to face his daughter-in-law and grandson who had just been born and had to bear the status of an orphan. That was the sadness Mr. Zayen and his wife were thinking about.
Now, Madame Afna assisted Vey while holding her hand. While Grandpa Alfan and Mr. Viko were next to Mr. Zayen walking in tandem. The others followed him from behind.
Before arriving home, Lunika had sat holding her son in a sofa accompanied by Vellyn and her biological mother and also accompanied by her foster mother, who was none other than Dana's grandfather's wife. But when he gets a message from Mr. Viko, Vellyn is asked to hold Niko's baby. Afraid, Lunika would cry hysterically and fall unconscious.
"Mama, Papa, where are you all from? why are your clothes all black? what's going on here, Ma, Pa?" asked Lunika while checking one by one. Among all of them there was not a single voice, even in the living room turned silent and silent instantly. None of them showed his smile, all of them looked sad and felt deep sorrow.
"Ma, why is everything quiet?" asked Lunika while shaking the body belonging to her mother-in-law. Madam Afna was still not nervous, all seemed to be silent.
"Pa, why is everything quiet. Why are none of you speaking? what's the matter?" tanya Lunika who also shook the tubub belonging to her own biological father with a feeling of uneasiness and also anxiety of course.
Instantly, Lunika remembered the figure of her husband who was not also seen the trunk of her nose. Lunika went back and examined him one by one between the Danuarta family and the Wilyam family. When she did not find her husband, Lunika immediately approached her mother-in-law.
"Ma, where's Lunika's husband? why not look? where's Lunika's husband?" asked Lunika while holding the arm of the mother-in-law.
Madame Afna who could not give an answer, her entire body felt helpless.
Quickly, Madam Afna immediately hugged her daughter-in-law's body tightly and cried as she pleased.
"I'm sorry Mama, baby. Forgive this selfish Mama who always hides from lies, forgive Mama." Said Madame Afna who felt sick and tight in her chest to reveal the truth to her daughter-in-law.
Lunika immediately let go of her embrace and stared fixedly at the face of her mother-in-law who sobbed at her crying because she was confused to have to explain.
"Why is Mom crying? tell Lunika, Ma. What's the truth, Ma? tell Lunika right now." Lunika asked as she wiped the tears on her mother-in-law's pair of eyes.
Again and again, Lady Afna hugged her daughter-in-law tightly. As if not wanting to let go, it felt heavy to reveal the truth. While others can only be silent and unable to speak, even though the reality must be conveyed.
"Ma, tell Lunika, what's wrong with all this? say Ma."
"Zi - Zick - Zicko, um ... Mama couldn't take it."
"What's wrong with Lunika's husband, Ma? come say. Why is everyone quiet? what happened to Lunika's husband? Ma, Pa." Lunika asked alternately looking at her mother-in-law and her father-in-law full of probing.
Both Mr. Zayen and his wife were silent without answering questions from their son-in-law, and the others were silent.
Left with no choice, Mr. Viko's wife finally approached her niece with an unbecoming feeling. Either way Lunika must know the truth, thought Adellyn. After being in front of Lunika, Madame Adellyn stared fixedly at her niece. Then holding both shoulders belonged to Lunika.
"Tante, look. Everything was like a useless statue, not even a single one answered Lunika's question." Said Lunika who felt neglected.
"Lunika, they are not unwilling to answer questions from you. They actually can't answer it, fearing that your heart would be hurt." Adellyn replied, Lunika is still not able to digest the words of her Tantenya.
"I mean Auntie?" asked Lunika with a serious look. Madame Adellyn finally hugged her niece tightly.
"I'm sorry Auntie, if the news that Aunt brought will hurt your heart and feel torn to shreds up to your heart. You must be sincere and also airy to receive this news, Auntie is sure if you are able to deal with it and pass it. Actually ... Your husband has been gone for a long time."
DUAR!!!!!!
Instantly, Lunika cheered and was stunned when she heard the words from Mr. Viko's wife. Her body trembled as her husband was said to have been gone for good. Not only that, Lunika seemed to be struck by lightning in broad daylight hearing it. Quickly, Lunika instantly let go of her embrace. Then approach one by one who is around him.
"Ma! what Aunt Adellyn said isn't true, is it, Ma? lunika's husband is alive, isn't he, Pa? you're all just having a show, aren't you, Uncle? you guys just want to prank Lunika, don't you?" tanya Lunika asked a lot of questions with her tears while shaking the body of one belonging to her mother-in-law, her father-in-law, and Mr. Seyn who was her cousin's brother. Then Lunika dropped down and bowed to the floor with her sobbing cry.
Grandpa Dana's wife who understood her daughter's feelings immediately approached her and hugged her.
"Daughter, forgive all of us for lying to you so much. Forgive all of us who from the beginning have covered up your husband's accident incident, forgive us all Son.. forgive." Grandpa Dana's wife hugged her daughter while crying. While Lunika herself was so devastated to hear the reality that was so bitter for her to accept suddenly.
"No! Lunika does not believe, Lunika is sure if Lunika's husband is still alive. You all just fucked Lunika, right? nay! lunika's husband is still alive. In fact, Lunika still feels that Lunika's husband has not died. Convinced of that, that Lunika's husband is still alive." Lunika said with her breath that felt tight accompanied by crying, between believing and not believing the news of suffering she received.
