Aretta & Secrets

The Truth Revealed

"Papa can start the story now," I replied, his facial expression looking surprised probably because I immediately agreed to his request without him having to explain another reason.

"Your mama cheated," he said bluntly, "it happened when you were six and Papa was busy working on a research project that took months. The reason behind the affair that your mother made was because she felt lonely. He felt that Papa's time was all Papa devoted to that research and the kids, especially you." Papa sighed slowly before replying, "if only your Mama said she was jealous of feeling unnoticed, Papa would have instantly corrected Papa's mistake, but your Mama is becoming and all ends when your Mom sleeps with her love, "there is a bitter tone created in every word that comes out of your lips.

The silence was so gripping. It seems that Papa is waiting for a response from me, but unfortunately I am still too surprised by the info that Papa just gave. I don't know if the reason behind their breakup was because of this, did Gio also not know how to eat him he was being rude to me as well.

Papa continued his sentence again because I did not open my mouth, "Your mother is temperament and stubborn. He did not want to be blamed for having dared to cheat and he told Papa to leave. Mama you threatened to take you both away and did not ngizinin papa meet you if Papa did not go. Papa was thrown out of the house. Although in reality here he is the guilty party, the, but your Mama is a smart person to turn around the fact that makes her position to be very profitable and that is by threatening Papa using you. You and Gio.

"Because he made a deal in which he would keep Papa's permission to look at you, Papa's food received. Papa don't you lose you, but on one condition. He alone determines the time and place. At that time Papa felt that there was no harm because he was also being kind to you. Papa believes that even if Papa leaves, she will still be a good mother. In Papa's heart, Papa is determined to save you and the only way is to leave, then finish the remaining research and pick you up. But Papa's a step late because by then you've been taken away somewhere by your Mama."

Honestly, even though he explained what happened back then, I still felt annoyed. I can't believe he's going to give up that fast even when he hasn't fought for us yet. It's as hard as anything against Mama because in the end the truth will definitely be revealed.

"Why didn't Papa fight to fight Mama? In the way Papa who gave up even when Papa has not fought it has shown that Papa is also the same as Mama in a different version. You two are both bad as parents." I'm looking. All this time I've been holding everything myself and knowing this fact somehow sounds more painful than I thought all along.

"Papa's trying Aretta too. Papa is still looking for you and when Papa already knows where you live, Papa's access to meet you is still difficult. Papa even sent a letter home. You're the same Gio as Papa's kids and you mean Papa. Until now even Papa still send money routine for you, because said your Mama, all you need is money not the presence of Papa. Papa also does not want to lose you guys, you two are the jewels that always make Papa the spirit of working every day until now even though all Papa can only take photos of you. But Papa is grateful and happy because if Papa is desperate to meet you, Mama will take you away again and Papa does not want it to happen. Papa gave up on taking you out and all Papa can do is just keep working so you don't live in deprivation." Papa said that while squeezing his hand. A look of regret was clearly drawn on his face and I couldn't really blame him.

"Pa..."

"Son. Aretta, Papa's son. Papa apologized. Sorry Papa Nak. Papa will do anything so that Papa does not lose you again. Papa will fight for you and Papa will risk Papa's life so that you can return to Papa Nak," see how his frustration when he said it made me full. He's my dad but why meet me this late? I have been looking forward to his presence since long ago.

"Aretta's sorry Papa," I whispered softly and it managed to bring out a smile on her lips. Papa immediately stood up from his place and scattering at me, he hugged me tightly as if there was no tomorrow anymore. At first I was shocked and felt claustrophobic because it was uncomfortable. But once I managed to smell Papa, I immediately cried loudly. I myself still can't believe that Papa is in front of me and hugging me.

"Thank you, son," Papa murmured and it made me sob.

I cried for a long time and Papa really let me let out all my complaints through tears. He didn't ask because he knew I needed this moment to ease my burden. After I calmed down, Papa dared to ask.

"Maybe what Papa asked is too late but Papa wants you to answer Papa's question honestly" he said in a soft voice.

"What do you want Papa to ask?" my many. I don't feel like there's anything else to tell because Papa knows what I've been through while I've been living with Mama.

"Actually Papa is afraid to know the facts that you are experiencing, but you still have to tell what he did to you." Papa spoke softly but firmly. He demanded me to answer which immediately shocked me. I refused to tell stories.

I guess Papa won't ask after knowing in outline what happened to me there. You don't think he's gonna ask and it scares me.
