A Tale of Ary

47. Sib

Bayu was disappointed, wanted to be angry but did not know who. Long time he harbored feelings, long time he kept his heart. Now she had to swallow the disappointment of her love clapping one hand. He did not expect his closeness with Ary so far only considered brother only.

Bayu knows himself enough, he does not want to force the will. He knows that love must not have. Simply seeing her heart happy already made her happy. Although it could not be denied, there was pain scratching his heart.

"Why are you, since you came home, how moody have you been?" ask Marinah's mother while sitting near Bayu.

"Wood is okay, you don't have to worry." replied Bayu while rubbing his mother's back.

"And mom used to say, you don't love Ary too much. Because he is not your soul mate" said the mother while holding Bayu's arm.

Bayu gasped at his mother's words, he did not expect his mother to know his stubbornness.

"Mother right, who forbade Ary to accept Bayu?" ask Bayu suddenly.

"Mother forbid you to date or marry, because mother has her own reasons." replied Marinah's mother while standing up to leave Bayu's room.

"Mom will explain why you're so against your relationship. Tomorrow tell Ary to come here, I'll explain everything!" the order of Marinah's mother while closing the door of Bayu's room.

"Yes, Mom!" answer Bayu briefly.

After the door closed, Bayu picked up her phone and sent a message to Ary. Because it's night, so Bayu just send a message.

"Assalamualaikum, Deck tomorrow morning can not go home. I have something to say."

Not long after that Bayu went to the bathroom to clean himself before going to bed.

Ary who was just about to turn off the lights, heard there was a notification of incoming messages directly opened the message.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi. Ok! At nine in the morning, I'm coming."

That's Ary's answer. After replying to a message from Bayu, Ary turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Next day.

Ary is getting ready to go to Bayu's house after finishing helping Mother several houses. Ary had asked permission from Daddy and Mommy if he was going to Bayu's house.

"Bun, Ary said yes. It has been awaited the same sister Bayu" said Ary approached Mommy then kissed the back of the hand Mother.

"Assalamualaikum" Ary said as he left the living room.

"Wa'alaikum hail, be careful on the way huh! Nitip greetings yes to Bayu with his mother." replied Mother.

"Yeah!" ary replied while turning on his motor.

Ten minutes later, Ary arrived at Bayu's house. Ary knocked on the door of Bayu's house.

"Assynnya!" yell Ary.

"Wa'alaikum hail, come on in!" replied Bayu while opening the door wide.

"Where's mom, brother?" ary asked as he entered the house.

"Mother behind, let's go back!" bring Bayu.

Ary follows Bayu from behind. Ary actually did not have the heart to see the state of Bayu, since last night Bayu looked tangled. Unlike usual always cheerful, even if there are problems.

They arrived at the back porch of Bayu's house, where Marina's mother had been waiting for Ary's arrival.

"Wa'alaikum salam, here sit near Mother." replied Marinah's mother.

"There's something important, why did I ask Ary to come here?" ask Ary frankly.

Ary did not want to see Bayu's disappointed face for too long. Ary his heart was so soft, that he could easily pity the sorrow of others.

"Wood you get me a little crate on the nightstand next to Mom's bed!'' the order of Marinah's mother to Bayu.

Bayu rushed to take the coffin in question without much question. All this time he was curious about the contents of the chest, but not once did he take it.

"This, Mom!' bayu said while handing over the chest after she took it from the room.

Marinah's mother received the chest and then opened it. Inside the chest were several old photographs and a diamond-encrusted gold bracelet.

"Wood is actually the person you consider to be the father is not your real father" said Marina's mother suddenly while taking a piece of photo.

Wedding photo between young Marinah and Sofyan Hadiningrat, the successor of meubel Jaya Hadiningrat.

Bayu who heard the words of Marinah's mother was shocked, and he felt that his mother had lied to him.

"Who is Bayu's father, where is he now?" tanya Bayu harbored anger.

"Sir Bayu be patient, don't be angry with Mom. We heard first Mother's story." said Ary calmed Bayu.

"First the mother was married to the son of a famous businessman, not only a successful businessman but also a blue-blooded man. Not everyone is welcome to be a member of that family. The family was very concerned about the seedlings, bebet and weights of a person. Only people from blue-blooded families or successful entrepreneurs are acceptable."

"Mother was just a poor peasant child who had nothing. She works as a maid in the house. The residence of Raden Mas Jaya Hadiningrat. They're very kind to the people who work there."

"A few months working there, the mother's employer's son came home from Jakarta because he had finished college. Over time grew a sense in our hearts, we also went through courtship secretly. Until one day we got caught, mom got fired. Sofyan is matched with his father. Although different beliefs they still run the matchmaking for business. Sofyan refuses the match, then leaves the house."

"We married without the blessing of parents, because at that time the mother's parents had all died. When Sofyan left the house, he brought a bracelet given by his mother. That bracelet was used as our wedding dowry."

"Our lives were very difficult after marriage, because all companies rejected Sofyan's job application. We sell cakes around the village so we can eat. Due to limited capital, we only sell small. We were married not long ago, pregnant. It turns out that the ordeal has not stopped as well, which initially sold us sweet sales suddenly did not sell."

"One day, a messenger arrived who reported that Kanjeng Raden Mas Jaya was very sick. Sofyan was asked to return home. He refused to go home, eventually with persuasion and coercion from mother. Sofyan went home to see his father. After that, Mas Sofyan never returned to mother."

"Mom no longer knows how. A few months later, I heard that Sofyan was married to a girl he had been betrothed to. Because of this, my mother left our home. Mother's parents' house."

"At that time the mother was pregnant, just waiting for the day of your birth. On the way, my stomach hurt. Signs of childbirth are already there. Mother was helped by a young man, who eventually became your father."

"Sofyan Hadiningrat is the younger brother of Ary's mother, Widya Lestari Hadiningrat."

Ary is not surprised to hear who Bayu's real father really is. Because Bayu's face is the result of Om Sofyan photocopying. If Sofyan is still alive, Bayu is the younger version of Sofyan.

"That's why I forbid you from getting married, until you die I won't approve. Since you still have blood ties, it is forbidden to marry." explained Marinah's mother.

Marinah's mother ended her story, crying because she had to open her old wounds. He must tell her everything so that Bayu stops his desire to marry Ary. I just don't want any hate in Bayu's heart for being rejected by Ary.
