Being late to realize

MEET MELANI

The afternoon has come, the hour has come,

Mona prepares to go home to pick up her son Raka who may have been waiting for her.

When he arrived at the parking lot he was surprised by the presence of the woman who was standing in front of him with tears streaming down his cheeks,

the woman was Melani who missed him so much that Melani seemed to be crying very happy to see back her only friend she had.

Melanie!!

y-you're in here?

mona stammered.

Without answering Melani ran to Mona and hugged her in tears.

Beph where have you been?

you're so mean to leave me for 15 years without seeing me at all,

did you have a new friend so you forgot about me?

melani said without letting go of her hugging.

Not like that, baby,

I've never had a friend other than yourself I'm sorry that I've forgotten you but really you're the only friend I've had until this moment.

mona lets go of Melani's hug.

15 Years you've never met me you said you didn't forget me?

you know I hate you so much.

melani.

Mel, uh,

I beg you not to hate me well I'll tell you let's sit there.

mona pointed to a chair located across the street.

Melani nodded her head and wiped her tears, then they both walked towards the seat.

Beph, where have you been for 15 years and where's your son?

melani's words surprised Mona.

Y-you know I already have a child?

mona said.

Tell me where you've been all this time,

melani.

For the past 15 years..

the flashback

Ever since I left home and left Rama I was desperate,

my life and my heart were so broken that one day I wanted to end my life by blowing myself up there but I realized that I was pregnant with Rama's child,

and thinking that the child I bear is innocent if I end my life then I do not give a child a chance to live.

I am a devil-hearted woman but I do not want to be a devil-hearted mother one day I gave birth to a son myself without anyone.

After I gave birth I left this city to start a new life but unlucky I even met Hendra and Rangga they never gave up on harming my son,

I want to forget my grudges and live quietly but they provoke my anger and I deliberately make Rangga's face become disfigured,

After that incident I decided to return to this city and work odd jobs to support my son.

flashback off

and I decided to stay in this town because my son was comfortable here.

mona said.

Does your son know who his father is?melani.

He just knew he didn't want to tell his father.

mona began to shed tears.

Beph you are a very selfish mother,

don't you ask how your son feels no matter how he must be very sad and want to hug his father once in a while.

melani.

But he never told me about his feelings, either,

so you don't know!

mona said.

Yeah, obviously didn't dare tell you because he kept your feelings in check,

I know how your son feels because I have a beph child and you must be so hard on him that he doesn't dare to express his feelings.

melani.
