"I'm not sure about this. Not now, Yeri." Syera held the hand of Yeri who was driving the car.
"You forgot your purpose here?" Yeri ignored everything Syera said. The meeting of Syera and Arion after approximately ten years was the thing he was most looking forward to. Hope their love will return. Who cares about Arion's wife now, Yeri is on Shera's side.
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after. Now I'm not ready." There are doubts still lodged in Syera's heart.
Yeri nodded no matter. "I'll still take you to meet Arion in the office." The car was a little faster. Yeri glanced at Elea who was engrossed in the sight of the road. "He can't wait to see his Papa, right?"
Syera followed Yeri's line of sight. Looking at the sweet little girl who lived without a father until the age of ten. They've been through a lot together.
Elea was born to a young girl who was not ready to be a mother. About his full presence by the family. Had to be aborted because the birth of a fatherless baby will tarnish the good name of the family. But it was stopped after Syera pleaded with her parents. He threatened back, if the baby was in abortion then he would also end life together. The fetus in her stomach was innocent. The baby is the only love he still has. At least fond memories with Arion will continue to color her life just by seeing Elea managed to grow healthy into a beautiful and smart girl.
"Do you think my decision is right." Shera looked at Yeri.
"of course. It's time for Elea to know everything. This secret cannot be hidden for the rest of your life. You'll continue to be haunted by feelings of guilt." Yeri returned Syera's gaze even though she had to stay focused while riding on crowded streets.
"yes too. But the thing is Arion is married, I'm afraid our presence will be a big deal."
Far from his heart, there was a disappointment that mounted in the breast of Shera. He did not expect that Arion could finally break away from the mass prison.
If to be honest, Syera hopes Arion can wait for her even ten or twenty years. Apparently he misjudged. Though it is clear, the reason he is single until now is only for one reason. Arion Abhivandya, that special man will not be replaced in his heart. Syera does not even want to find a surrogate father for Elea even though there are many handsome and well-established men who are willing to make her happy.
"Hey... He was married just a formality. You should know that!" Yeri felt sure. He is indeed talented to be a journalist because he is very good at prying and getting various information from the lives of others.
"really? But what's the reason?" Perhaps that way, Syera felt like she had a speck of hope.
"Yes right. The wedding documents are just to complete the requirements when adopting a baby."
"Why adopt a baby?" Syera who does not know anything becomes increasingly confused with Yeri's story.
"I'll tell you in full. So the point is, he didn't get married because he loved that ugly woman. I'm sure she still loves you the same way she used to." Yeri patted the shoulder of Sherah who was sitting next to her.
"Don't give me false hope, Yeri." Blushed camera.
"Of course not a sister-in-law candidate." Yeri laughed mischievously.
Again the memories danced in the eye peluk Syera. The atmosphere of the city has not changed much. Some places that store memories that managed to create a time machine to the massalu. City parks that he often visited when he returned home from school with Arion, the cinema that became the best choice of places to watch on Sunday nights, or the lakes on the edge of the city that always accompany their afternoons to see the sunset.
Both corners of his lips curved, there was a happy and haru greeting together.
"Mama, how much longer is our trip? I can't wait to see you." Elea looked bored.
"In a moment, baby," said Syera there.
...----------------...
Yeri barges into Arion's room. Followed Syera and Alea behind her. Kevin tried to prevent it, but failed.
"Please don't riot again in this office, Yeri." Pinta Kevin while blocking their steps.
"You don't see who I've come with. Of course you know him, right?" Appoint Yeri towards Shera.
"That's exactly the case, you should have made an appointment outside the office. Because it's not a job." Kevin will also face criticism from Arion if he cannot overcome this problem.
"What do I care. Watch out!!" Yeri charged in with all her might.
Kevin tried to catch up and held back. Slowly, the woman was faster than a ghost. He made it to Arion's room.
"Surprise.... " I cried when the glass door was opened wide. Arion who was focusing on the monitor screen immediately raised his head. "Sir Arion, look who I brought here."
Arion instantly slid. I can't believe what he sees in front of him right now. Women with brownish wave hair, white skin and high plump. Syera looked much more mature, she no longer tied her hair like a ponytail like she used to be.
"Sheera... " The Lirih Arion.
"Yes, it's me. And this is Elea." Syera rubbed her daughter's straight black hair. The same hair that his biological father had.
"Is he...?" Arion sentence hanging.
"I let him live." His breathing was choked, there were tears that were slipping out from the petals.
Arion slowly left his desk, walked over and settled down with Elea.
"Hi, greetings." Arion held out a hand.
"I'm here to see Papa." Elea ignores Arion, he tugs at her mother's hand. "Where's Papa??"
All those who were there turned towards Elea, then looked at each other, between Shera, Arion, Yeri, and also Kevin who remained.
"My name is Arion, call me Papa." Arion's hand that had been ignored then turned to rub the head of Elea. "Your face is very similar to mine."
Elea was still confused by the atmosphere she did not understand right now. Then Syera spoke up trying to give a little explanation that what they were looking for had been found.
"This is Papa Elea. Papa you always ask."
"Really??" The face of Elea sumringah. Syera nodded. "May I hug you?" The plain speech instantly made a haru atmosphere. He stared fixedly at Arion's face with sparkling round eyes.
Arion nodded. "Let's hug Papa."
There was a foreign pulsing that struck Arion's chest, half of the empty soul now seemed to be filled. There are a lot of things that he could not pay for in the past. The infinite moment he had missed. Until now he still does not think that the fruit of his love is well preserved by Syera. Sweet girl named Elea, she has already found her first love.
"Why should we live apart?" Elea let go of his embrace, cupped and wiped the water that fell on Arion's cheek. "Well-looking dad doesn't love Elea?"
"Papa dearest Elea. Papa promised we wouldn't be apart again." Together with his cry, Arion smiled at the sight of this little rascal so adorable. Guilt was eating away at her. He was quite evil because he could not be held responsible for all his deeds to Shera.
Yeri immediately gave a hug to her best friend. All this time Syera has managed to become a great woman.
"Why not hug mom??" Elea looked at Arion and Shera alternately.
Both silent.
"Again, Brother Arion, for Elea's sake" said Yeri.
"But you know that Yeri, that I.... " Arion re-enforced his body. Standing in front of Sherah.
"Elea, Papa can't hug Mama right now. Next time, will you?" Sensitive syera with situation immediately mediate.
"This time, Pa, Ma. For my sake." The little girl was hopeful. He cupped both hands to beg.
"okay.. Okay.. Just once." Arion's defense collapsed. He threw away his ego, sideways for a moment his condolences. In his heart he spoke out loudly, apologizing to Nara. He didn't mean to betray her like this. All for a reason.
The deg!
The first hug after the breakup was painful more than a decade ago.
"I'm sorry, Shera" whispered Arion regretfully.
