Neal glanced at his wife who had been sitting next to him since they had left the house he spoke little, occasionally turning his gaze to their two babies who were asleep in the back seat of the car, Neal grabbed her hand so that Ara turned her gaze she gave an encouraging smile and Ara also returned the favor even though the tension remained unable to be eliminated from her face.
Ara had been thinking all night about her husband's words, which surprised her greatly but was impossible
forever he kept pretending not to know in front of Ivander and Helena, all this time they also loved him like his own daughter,. Honestly in her heart Ara admitted that she already loved Ivander and Heleena like her own parents, and now that was the reality.
Their car arrived at the courtyard of the mansion so deserted, Neal took his wife down and took her
the compassionate twins fell asleep and placed on a pram, he glanced at his wife and grabbed her hand and pushed the pram to take her in.

Ivander and Helena play with her two grandchildren while Ara just stares from a distance, slowly approaching to distract Ivander and Helena, Ara who just silently stares at the two alternately.
“Come, Son. Come here,” call Ivander patting the seat next to him.
“Do you want to say something to me,” he said staring fixedly at Ivander's face. Question
what Ara threw made him and Helena jerked.
“What do you mean ,Son.” Ivander then placed Abigail on the bed and looked back at Ara who was standing not far from her, while Helena turned her face trying to hide her face change.
“We just end this pretense,” said Ara quietly with a vibrating voice.” The more we hold it in, the more this heart gets hurt. Tell me I want to hear straight from papa's mouth that I am your real daughter.”
Helena's cry exploded as soon as Ara finished speaking, she clasped Noah tightly holding the sad feeling that lingered in her heart. Slowly Ivander rose from his seat to leave the distance between himself and Ara, his brown neutrals were already filled with eyes fixed on the face of Ara who was not much different from him at this time, he said, he tried to reach out to Ara's hand and shook her head.
“Iya, Son. I am your birth papa.” Her tears fell as soon as she finished speaking, her chest was so
the pain of holding back the tightness that was so hard for him to endure. Ara's tears fell more and more rapidly hearing Ivander's confession.
“Im sorry mom, son. If there's something you want to blame, blame mama son, if mama didn't use your mama at that time maybe none of this would have happened.” Helana was acting next to her sobbing holding her chest that was throbbing pain.
“Judge Mama,Nak for making your life and your mama suffer.”
Ara was not until the heart saw Helana crying sound so heartbreaking in her ears, she followed
feeling sore when he saw Helena like that, then his gaze turned to his papa who was crammed on the floor, a figure who was usually so charismatic looked so weak and puffy.
“Papa really did not know that you were born twins, Son. For years we have always been looking for
your mama's whereabouts but she disappeared like she was swallowed by the earth. We also don't want Janie to leave even if she has given us a baby, because we also want Janie to come see you grow up, no matter how she is your real mother.”
“After five years we keep looking for her and finally we give up, just maybe Janie has had
family and happy with my new family, and I don't want to
tease her again because I don't want to make her hurt.”
“Your father and mother were very happy when they heard that you were my biological daughter, but
along with feelings of fear and anxiety. Afraid you're panning us both
after the suffering and wounds your mama endured.”
“Im sorry, Son. Please don't hate us, don't stay away from us if you don't want to admit
I as your father at least act like I used to because we really love you very much, Son.”
The sincere plea from Ivander's face immediately dismissed a hint of doubt on him, he did not
never hated Ivander and Helena, but he wasn't ready if they were
just let his mother live in agony without any intention of looking for him after
the sacrifices her mother Ivander and Helena made never ignored her.
Ara stretched her hand to touch Ivander's hand, making the middle-aged man look up at him
stick Ara's face with the look of the eyes full of wounds and guesses in her, he said,
describing how heavy the burden he was carrying the burden of feeling if his presence could not be accepted.
“Papa need not beg like that, although I tried to refuse but that is the reality.
And it's really hard for me not to accept it. I love you from
early and never changed, I was too young to lose my mother and every night I saw her cry a lot, I wanted to ask her why she always did it but I was too small to
understand it at that time.”
A round of tears kept falling down his cheeks, clearly a pain was highlighted in his eyes as he
saying each sentence, he momentarily stopped his speech trying to gather
the sentence that was stuck in his throat, he took a deep breath as if he wanted to release the heavy burden that was pressing on him, before he resumed his speech.
“Mama who always showed a cheerful face in front of me swallowed her tears when we were together, but the look was hurt
and the pain still vividly recalls in my memory, maybe we can start all over again, as Arabella your biological son papa.”
“My daughter.” His voice shook withholding the joy and happiness that gathered in his chest when he heard Ara's last sentence, the sentence of acceptance and recognition that he was his real father.Ivander pulled Ara's body into his arms clutching his body very tightly as if afraid to be released, Ara also cut it
Helena approached Ara and the ivander who was still hugging her, she grabbed the bodies of both of them. Neal from a distance
staring from a distance watching father, mother, and child crying each other, he could not hold back his sense of smell, either, this is what Ivander and Helena wanted when she found out that Ara was her real daughter.

The dusk sky began to mepisakn reddish color, sunlight that began to dim overshadow the place
so calm and quiet, green grass looks like a stretch of tapestry looks four people standing among hundreds of tombs there. Ara and Helena placed a bunch of flowers in front of a gravestone that read Janie Serena. Ara rubbed her mother's headstone her lips trembled reciting a prayer, her tears occasionally dripping.
Mam, this is Ara coming. Ara came not alone but with the people who sagt
precious in your life, Ara took papa to meet mama, the man you love.
And Mama Helena is also here a true friend of mama's. And Ara wants to
introducing the man that Ara loved, his name was Neal to Ara, now mama
it has become the grandma of two grandchildren who are so handsome and beautiful.
Rest in peace we love and love you so much.
Helena's eyes continued to stare at the inscription on the gravestone, hoping it was just a dream to see Janie's grave
with his eyes immediately made it seem as if he could not believe his best friend had long gone, every memory they went through revolved around his memory. His tears continued to pour out representing the pain and pain within him, after not meeting for decades he did not step in to meet the situation
like these.
Janie, I don't think of you as a friend but like my own brother, did you not think of me when you chose to leave, I have always vacated a place for you in my heart and until any time it will never be filled by anyone. Thank you for all your sacrifices that will not
I could never reply. You've never met Anara in your entire life
arabella's twin brother, but I'm sure you're all together now
in a beautiful place. I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of her, but this time
I promise I will take care of Ara with my life, thanks for everything,
rest in peace my friend, I love you.
Neal crouched down next to his wife, laying a rose that he still held, this was the first
the time he visited here to the grave of his wife's biological mother, his hand grabbed Ara's fingers and held her tightly.
Mama, forgive me for visiting you. I am Neal your son-in-law, thank you for giving birth to such an amazing daughter to have her life companion have truly been an immeasurable gift from God to me. I love your daughter more than anything, I will take care of her with all my soul. I don't know how many wounds he's been through, but I promise you I won't let in any water
eyes of sadness fell on his cheeks. Our blessing mama pray for us from there, be calm in His sorority.
Ara and Neal get up and give Ivander a chance to put a red rose in front
janie's gravestone, her hand gently rubbing the engraving of the name that was stuck in the gravestone, her heart throbbing the scar of her wound back in blood, her face playing in her eyes the sincere smile that she brought down to Ara.
I've received your letter, thank you for loving me so much, I feel
it's not worth getting love from you after all the hurt and suffering
decorating your life that has to end so soon, I wish I could
meeting you is not like this. Why you go anything
your reason, really I can't accept, I won't be that cruel
separate you from your flesh and blood. Thank you for giving me two daughters
very beautiful, I will change every pain he goes through, if I have to exchange my life sincerely.
Janie, you and Helena are women who have a special place in my heart
won't get my feelings, you're also giving me the color of my life though
briefly, I love Helena, but deep down in my heart I tell you.
As the sun grew to the west they died in the cemetery area, Neal took his wife's hand and Ivander walked in front of them. What a complicated way of life to a meeting point. Every past becomes a point of travel, although sometimes the journey is full of twists and turns at the point of despair, do not ever give up maybe God is preparing something beautiful and unexpected.
