A Flavor

End of a taste (Happy Ending)

A week passed Alesia's health slowly began to improve. The doctor even allowed him to go home. It was welcomed very well by Leon who was already looking forward to the return of his beloved wife. Alesia has not forgiven him but Leon has promised himself Leon will fix everything.

“What do you want to eat? Let me buy you.”

Alesia. His stomach was not hungry at all. But Alesia must still eat because there is a fetus in her growing womb and desperately need nutritional intake from it.

“I can buy myself.”

Leon nodded. Offering would only make him pessimistic.

“Wait a minute here.” He said then passed.

Alesia sighed. Leon's lies made Alesia feel doubtful. But Alesia also could not be selfish with regard to her own feelings. Alesia knew her biological child also needed the presence and figure of Leon as her father.

“Alesia.”

Alesia closed her eyes. Though Alesia thought Leon would go out looking for food considering their domestic assistant is now returning home.

Alesia opened her eyes and then looked. But Alesia was surprised because not only Leon was standing in the doorway of her room, but also Bramono, Santi, and Rico.

Oh my... What the hell is this?

Alesia's worried. They all looked at him like they wanted to clarify something.

“There's something I have to tell you son.”

Alesia held her breath for a moment. Bramono always acted like a parent to Alesia. And that made Alesia feel a little uncomfortable. What else after knowing the man's relationship with his late mother in the past.

“It's about your mother, also your biological father.”

Alesia was silent. Alesia wanted to meet her real father. But now after learning of Bramono's past relationship with his mother Alesia feels it is no longer necessary to know who his father is. Alesia feels she can live without knowing who her real father is.

Leon tells Bramono, Santi, and Rico to come in. The man put aside his dislike for Rico who until now still Leon considers to like Alesia.

Bramono started talking. Word by word explains everything that happened in the past. About his love for Alesia le or mother le. About his love also to santi who ended with a wound that imprinted in the heart of santi until now. Bramono also tells the story of Pramono, his twin brother who tarnished Alesia le until finally born Alesia. Bramono did not care what the response of Santi and Alesia. Bramono just wants everything to be clear.

“Then where is my father now?”

Bramono swallowed his saliva. Bramono thought Alesia would be angry and hate her twin sister. But it turned out that Alesia was asking for Pramono's whereabouts right now.

“He's in jail now. Om imprisoned him because he also caused Santi and Leon's parents to have an accident.”

Leon closed his eyes. Her tongue clenched tightly. Her parents-in-law was the one who harmed her parents in the past.

Alesia was crying in silence. I don't know what scenario God planned for his life. Everything is so complicated and difficult.

“All that happened in the past. I hope you don't blame each other. If indeed someone must be blamed just blame me and pramono.”

A month passed Leon and Alesia's relationship began to improve. Alesia was no longer silent and went back to being spoiled towards Leon. His house assistant has returned to work making Leon feel a little calm when having to work outside leaving Alesia at home.

While Santi and Rico, they both began to try to live what they were supposed to live. Santi forgets what happened in the past after Bramono explained the reason for hurting him first. Of course it is because pramono who behaves like a threatening psychopath and is ready to eliminate anyone who makes him uncomfortable.

“Wouldn't you accompany me to see Dad? I arrived to want to hug him.”

Leon's speechless. The man stopped chewing the food in his mouth. Alesia has never brought up pramono this month. But suddenly Alesia said she wanted to hug her real father.

Leon hates Pramono. The man had already snatched away both his parents and Santi. The man also ruined Santi's life, his tanti. But either way the man was his wife's biological parents, a man Leon should have respected.

“Why can't it? He's my father now, too. We leave after this.” Leon's smile stared at Alesia's beautiful face.

Alesia smiled and felt very happy because Leon granted his wish.

All right, Leon, forget the past. Do your best for the future of your little family.

“Dad..”

Pramono was stunned to hear Alesia calling him father. The man shook his head in disbelief staring at the smiling Alesia and sitting in front of him.

“You called me dad?” Ask lirih.

Alesia smiled.

“Om Bram has explained everything. You're my father after all. I forgive all your mistakes.”

Pramono's tears are dripping. Pramono admitted all his mistakes. He was cruel and blinded by envy at Bramono who was always proud since childhood by his parents. That's why Pramono ruined his own twin brother's life. Starting from taking Bramono's first love to destroy her domestic life with Santi first. Unmitigated, pramono even harmed both parents Santi and Leon.

Pramono glanced at Leon who was beside Alesia. His sins were so great to Leon.

“I also forgive you father.” Leon's smile was trying to be sincere.

Pramono. Pramono feels lucky because God still gives him the opportunity to admit all his mistakes.

“Le..”

“Alesiana dad.. My name is Alesiana not Alesia le.” Alesia's smile interrupted Pramono's speech.

“Ya.. Can I hug you?”

Alesia looked at Leon who was also looking at her then looked back at Pramono who was waiting for an answer to her question.

“Why not?” His smile then rose and drew closer to Pramono.

Pramono hugged his daughter for the first time. His daughter who grew from the very unfeeling seed Pramono planted in Le's womb. His daughter who never got the least attention and affection from him.

Leon smiled at her. Perhaps God did deliberately predestine Alesia to be his wife so that Leon could accept everything. Maybe the hate is still there. But Leon is sure, slowly hate it will be eroded until it finally really disappears from the heart as well he thought.

From behind the wall without Leon, Alesia, also Pramono realize Santi and Rico see everything. The two of them smiled at Alesia who could accept everything so airy-chested.

“Alesia and her husband have been able to accept everything, I feel happy.” Mumbled Rico.

Santi nodded slowly. Although he was very angry to hear what Bramono said, but finally he could make everything.

“Then how's aunty?” Ask Rico.

“I am also sincere. Maybe this is how God teaches about sincerity in me.”

“Not that aunty I mean.”

Santi frowned then turned to look at Rico.

“What?”

Rico smiled then grabbed Santi's hand and held it gently.

“About my feelings on aunt. Can aunt take it? I love same aunt.”

Santi was silent for a moment. Rico was always by his side. Rico is also so staunchly waiting for an answer from him for his claimant about his love for Santi.

“Maybe I need to try it.” Answer Santi.

Rico smiled happily. Rico believes Santi is indeed a soul mate that God sent for him. Rico will take good care of him.
