The next day when his wife was busy packing to prepare to return home, Arya sat on the front porch of Grandma's house while sipping a cup of coffee in her hand.
The phone's ringtone reads
"Naughty boy, why did you just answer my phone? Can't I call you? You haven't been home for a few days. Have you forgotten your birthday?" Hendra has not been answered has been carried across there.
Arya chuckles.
"Sorry dad, I just want to enjoy my vacation for a few days, I'll be home soon, I don't even realize it's my birthday. When other people celebrate their birthday. But today means nothing to me."
"Even if today means nothing to you. I'll keep sending her so the presents arrive today and you'll get them."
"Thank you dad. How's Dery doing?"
Dad gave me your phone
"Sister, you haven't been home for a few days. You want to leave your sister ?I miss you and brother-in-law is half dead." Dery said across the street
"Wait a minute, I'll be home"
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
"Yes" Arya closes her call, after which she again grabs her coffee sipping it a little.
Have you forgotten what happened 20 years ago. Why do you remember my birthday every year and make me think about it
Because your mother's treasure is willing to leave you on your birthday. He doesn't want to acknowledge you as his real son. He ignored you.
At first glance Arya remembered the words of her former stepmother. For some reason when remembering the sentence his heart was always slashed to hold the pain.
Instead Arya was deep in thought. His wife and grandmother appeared at the door. He put his cup on the table and got up from his seat and walked closer to his wife.
"Grandmother thanks for your concern. I'm going home now. Grandma take good care of yourself." Yesa spoke after hugging and kissing Grandma's hand
"Son Arya, thank you very well for accompanying Yesa and Grandma for two whole days."
"No, I'm happy too, time feels so fast. Grandma thank you for your concern, sorry for bothering you." Arya spoke after kissing Grandma's hand.
"Don't hesitate, Yesa, there's an orange for you, take it." Grandma said while thrusting a white plastic bag containing fresh citrus fruits. Yesa smiled as she grabbed him
''Thank you, Grandma take good care of yourself, see you."
Yesa turned around and set foot after her husband who was sitting while waiting for her in the car. Moments later Arya starts her car and is ready to drive off the road.
"What's that?" Arya asked while glancing at the citrus fruit in the hands of Yesa who was being peeled. Take a grain and put it in your mouth.
"Grandma gave this orange to me earlier. This shhht is so sour, my husband you won't be able to eat it."
"really? I'd like to try one." Arya was curious
"It's take it"
Arya looked up to see a whole citrus fruit that his wife offered. Unpeeled.
"My wife, I'm driving, don't you know how hard it is to drive in the mountains?"
"What does that mean?" Yesa clumsily
"Boat me." Aryan is cold
"Ahh so yes, sorry hehe."
Alright then I will look for the most raw and sour one for you hihi ..
"It's eat." Yesa said as she fed her husband with an orange taken from hers.
'"Ssttt" It was so sour that it felt so mimic Arya about after chewing
"Hihi, how does it feel?" Fashion is talkative
"It's sour." Arya answered quickly. "My wife from now on you don't get too close to my sister "
"Why he's always been nice to me." Yesa asked while eating her orange back.
"You used to get too close to him. Even Dani and I thought you liked it."
"Oh!" Yesa was surprised "Is that what everyone thinks? "
"My wife heard, I don't want you to be close to another man. Including my sister." Arya spoke in a firm voice. Makes Yesa swallow her saliva.
Huh, how cold I was after hearing that sentence.
"My husband, are you hungry?" Yesa selects the topic quickly, expelling the awkwardness created.
"Lumayan."
"I'm very hungry if I walk a little further. There's a sapagethi restaurant I like. I want to eat his spaghetti. So, let's stop by there." Take Yesa so enthusiastically
Hearing the tone of Arya's phone
His gaze was immediately shifted on the screen of the phone that lit next to him. Why is it not written his name. So he thought Arya answered him through a bluetooth headset that was attached to his ear.
"Who is this?" Arya asked, silent for a moment there was no word of anything heard on her phone. "Why call me?" He continued in a cold voice after knowing who contacted him.
"Let's meet today. I made mistakes in the past. I will not forget this day, and I have prepared well. Let's talk while we eat and meet mom here."
Call disconnected
"Ciih, Always arrange a meeting according to his schedule" said Arya cynically as she removed her bluetooth headset.
''You will meet him soon. It's been twenty years that he hasn't called on my birthday."
Yesa surprised.
"My husband it's your birthday?"
Silent
why shut up
A few moments later the car stopped at the famous restaurant parking area. The couple got down from there walking into the restaurant towards the VIP room.
When they entered Sandra was seen rising from her seat because she saw it coming.
"Yesa thank you for coming. My name is Sandra, the birth mother of your husband." Sandra introduced herself kindly while extending her hand.
Yesa grabbed Sandra's hand with a smile.
The pendant murmured Sandra inwardly as she stared at a beautiful object hanging around her neck.
"My mother's name is Yesa, it's so nice that I can meet you."
"Mom already knew "Sandra looked at Arya who just stood by her wife "Please sit down let's talk while we eat." He said it was friendly and allowed to sit with his hands.
Arya and Yesa sat in her chair
"Arya you can't eat shrimp can you? I'm careful this time." Sandra said while serving food to her plate already provided at the dinner table.
Arya just smiled cynically
why shut up
"Mother watching the food my husband likes and hates the most, it seems that your relationship is so close." Yesa said trying to warm the mood
Is there something wrong with me. Why does he see me like that
Yesa said inwardly as she received a cold look from her husband's eyes. Mata knew him that Arya was actually just telling him to be quiet without saying much.
"Arya's been a long time since I released jewelry that I design, I need your help this time." Sandra spoke at the core. He took out a piece of paper from inside the bag beside him and thrust it. "Look, this is a design that you've long wanted to release. I've been looking forward to it for twenty years"
Somehow Arya refused to accept, not yet want to reach it. Disappointed after knowing the purpose Sandra invited him to eat together for what. Not the reason he expected.
"Sorry, we have a personal affair and can't linger here." Word is cold
"Arya, how dare you treat mom like this." Hardik Sandra's face was red
"Mom all the way here just wanted to talk about it?" Arya spoke the same way. "I don't think you're afraid anymore if other people find out, if I.. ''
"True" Sandra cut off "Mother is not afraid anymore and mother will never hide again. I'm willing to admit, that you and Dery are mom's sons. People all over the world will know. That you and your sister are mother's biological sons."
"So, I love that designer so much, don't you ? It was love that made my mother dump me." Makes me forget my birth day.
Just to tell you, Arya actually thinks that the creator of the jewelry design that will be launched Sandra is her stepfather in America. Though the creator of the design was Rena Sandra's best friend when he was alive.
But for whatever reason, 20 years ago Sandra and Rena distanced themselves from each other. Until it makes Sandra delay to release the jewelry and there is no incident what makes Sandra willing to leave the country.
Leaving Husband and his two sons as well as his best friend and company. So it's not wrong if all this time Arya was cold to her mother.
"Don't mock mom like this, she (Rena) is a precious thing for mom." Sandra did not accept her best friend being blamed.
Yes misunderstand being created because they do not know what each one thinks.
Arya thinks Sandra released the locket for her true love. While Sandra thinks Arya does not want to understand what she wants. Back to each other.
"Ciih, but to me he's the most terrible thing to me and Dery." Turned an annoyed face after hearing the fact that he did not mean anything to his stepfather.
"But mom gave birth to you!" Hardik Sandra did not give up
Arya just kept quiet not flinching.
"Well, do you consider mother terrible for leaving you. But because mom gave birth to you. At least help mom slice that jewelry up as a memory."
"Curtain! If you want to get rewarded for giving birth to me. At least I should remember when that happened." Arya replied in a weak voice that was not easily explained.
The mood was momentary
"What is today ?" Sandra was shocked when she realized her worst mistake.
Arya just silently looked at Sandra with a wrathful look her hands clenched on the table. No matter how bad you are, you are still a mother. That's how Arya feels. He wanted to scream but got stuck in his jaw. Both of his eyes were flushed. Holding back his heart. When he almost shed tears he got up from his seat.
"My wife, let's go." Take Arya and grab Yesa's hand
"Ta-but." Yesa hesitated and still has not moved from her position because she is confused how to. It was only the first time he had met her in-laws, there was no way he had left her impolite. But on the other hand, she did not want to refute the orders of her cold husband. Baffled.
"Why silence?" Arya threatened with the look in her eyes. Though feeling bad, Yesa got up from her seat.
"Mother, then I go first, Sorry "As a courtesy she hastily bowed before following in her husband's footsteps.
Sandra just kept quiet not knowing what to do, because she felt guilty.
While Arya pulled the hand of Yesa half-running following the distance of her steps towards the parking lot. On arrival he opened the car door forcing his wife inside. Then he went inside and closed the door.
Silent
Yesa was confused looking at her husband's face with question marks, eager to feel like she was talking. But when she saw her husband was just silent so reluctant to do it. Not long after, Arya leaned back and dropped the face on her shoulders.
My God my husband is crying on my shoulder
