Abbas lowered his head with a trembling body. Guilt struck every corner of his heart, both at Hasna, and at his late wife.
He never imagined it would be like this, and why would they keep it so well for decades? He never even asked what happened after he came home, because by the time he woke up in the morning. His condition looked like normal, even though he felt dizzy and sick in certain parts of his body.
"Naira's."
Abbas's chest felt very tight when he remembered the figure of the gentle and attentive woman, who was his own wife. However, the age of their marriage was not long because God had other wills. Naira died when Nindi was just 10 years old, and the cause was due to blood cancer that had been suffered for several years ago.
Hasna looked at Abbas wistfully as she saw the pain and deep disappointment from the look in the man's eyes. He knew that Abbas must have been devastated to learn about this truth, but how else? That was the only way out at that time.
At the same time, Adel and Ezra who had just returned home from school walked down the aisle of the hospital. They intend to visit the grandmother, all delivering food for their mother and aunt.
"Don't you remember, if I had a birthday the day after?" adel said while staring at the brother with sparkling eyes.
Ezra nodded his head. "Of course you remember. Do you want something as your birthday present?" He asked as he ruffled the top of Adel's head, making the hijab his sister was wearing so messy.
"Is, this Brother. Like the times to make my hijab damaged, later I do not want to wear a scolded hijab," Adel sneered with a pouting face. Her lips had already advanced a few inches forward, making Ezra laugh.
"Yes-iya sorry. Okay, don't make a fuss" said Ezra later. They were almost in the grandmother's room.
Meanwhile, Abbas was still silent and tried to calm the emotional turmoil that was in his heart.
"I'm sorry for my mistake, Hasna. I really don't know if I've made such a big mistake, I'm sorry." Lirih Abbas's. He did not dare to look at the woman, obviously Hasna must have been very hurt by what she had done.
Hasna breathed a rough sigh. Abbas has made a big mistake, but that doesn't mean he hasn't done anything wrong either. In any case, the events of the night would not have happened if he had refused to the end, or fought back against Abbas like the ones in the movies.
However, Hasna was also destroyed by the temptations of Satan, precisely the temptations that Abbas did. That's why they did the forbidden thing, even he also decided to cover it up.
"Everybody made a mistake, sir. And I've forgotten about it, I hope you are like that too" Hasna replied softly.
Abbas smiled miris. How could he possibly forget it? He just found out all the truth today, and everything that happened to his mistake.
"Where could I possibly forget it, Hasna. Are you also asking me to forget about you and also Ayun, my own daughter?"
Deg.
"Well, why don't we"
Ezra immediately covered Adel's mouth with his right hand, making Adel snort in shock. "Shut up, there's someone in Grandma's room."
Adel nodded his head and Ezra let go of his hands, and they stood behind the door to eavesdrop on the grandmother's conversation with a man.
"I won't ask you to forget Swing, but please forget what happened in the past. I don't want anyone to know that, including your son and mine," Hasna said seriously. He looked at Abbas intently, who also began to look at him wistfully.
Ezra who heard the grandmother's words frowned in wonder, especially when he heard the words of the man in the room earlier.
"So, I can't tell Ayun that I'm her real father?" abbas asked bitterly and with wounds.
Ezra jumped in shock upon hearing the man's words, and he was sure that the voice he was hearing was Abbas's.
Just like her sister, Adel also seemed shocked when she heard it. He then raised his head, and looked at his brother question markingly.
"Do you want to tell Ayun that you are her real father, and you used to unknowingly rape me? Then I went pregnant because you were engaged to Miss Naira, Miss Nindi's mother. That so?" hasna asked sarcastically, making Abbas immediately gasp.
Abbas fell silent with a strong heartbeat. Both of his hands clenched tightly as he felt that what Hasna said was true, then what should he do? Where can he just shut up when he knows if Ayun is his biological daughter, at least he must be responsible for the mistakes that have been made.
"Why are you silent, sir? Do you want to destroy the feelings of our children?" asked Hasna with a wistful. I can't imagine how they would react when they found out.
Ezra quickly opened the door of the room, and Abbas and Hasna turned to the door. "What do you think, by hiding everything grandma and grandpa do not hurt mother and aunt Nindi?"
