The Truth About Atala

Vita and Lita find Atala, who slaps her face to her knees.

Atala's crying. "Huk.. huk... huk..."

"Big brother why?" Vita approached Atala. Vita is like that too.

Lita hugged Atala's body. "Big brother why?" Ask Lita.

Vita retrieves a document that Atala still holds. Vita read. "Astaghfirulla... So Atala's sister...." Vita.

"What's wrong, Vita?" Ask Lita.

Vita handed the documents to Lita. Lita read. "Masha Allaah..." Lita was surprised.

Vita hugged Atala's body. "Sister..." Call gently.

Atala looked up. "Don't touch me...!! I'm not your mahram!" Atala yelled at Vita.

Vita and Lita were shocked. Vita could no longer endure her grief. He stood up and walked backwards. His body hit Tia who was about to enter Lambok's study.

"What is this." Said Tia who immediately hugged Vita's body that was almost disgusted.

"Mama.. huk.. huk..." Vita's crying. But then Vita took off Tia's embrace and ran to her room.

"Vitaa....!" Call Tia. But Vita doesn't listen to Tia's call. Tia sighed.

"What's the matter, honey?" Tia approached Lita and Atala.

"Maaa... Is it true that Atala's not my real brother?" Lita started sobbing. He handed the adoption papers to his mother.

"Instaghfirullaah..." Tia's aghast. His body suddenly drowned. Tia did not expect Atala to find out in this way.

Tia approached Atala and rubbed Atala's back.

Atala hugged Tia's body. "Ma... Atala is not Mama and Papa's son... Then who are Atala's parents..?? Huk. huk..."

Tia raised Atala's body to stand up. Lita helps her Mama.

Tia took Atala to the sofa in Lambok's study. Atala was still crying. He was devastated to find this fact.

"I'm sorry Mama, honey. Mama and Papa did plan on telling you but we were confused to start. I'm sorry, Mama, if you have to know the truth this way." Tia wiped her tears.

Tia is not ready to lose Atala. Atala was crying again. She hugged Tia's body.

"Mom don't cry." Atala said, still sobbing.

"Mama can't afford to lose you. You are the lamp of Mama's heart." Said Tia still crying.

Lita sat down next to Tia and rubbed her Mama's back. "Ma.... Don't sad... Atala can't possibly leave us, can she? Brother won't leave us? I'm still a little sister, aren't I?" Lita hopes.

Atala nodded. She rubbed Lita's hand, still hugging Tia.

"But Ma, as Atala, Mama and Papa remember, there was a time when Atala was little. And again Atala's face...." Atala felt his face.

"But why is Atala's face so similar to Papa's? Is Atala a bastard, Ma?" Atala asked softly afraid Tia was angry.

"What?!" Tia's aghast. He didn't expect Atala to say that. "You....?! Why would you say that? Did Mama teach you to talk like that?" Tia looks pretty hit.

Atala immediately rested on Tia's knee. "I'm sorry Atala Ma... Atala didn't mean to offend Mama.. Atala confused Ma... Atala is crying again." Atala was afraid that Tia would be angry.

Tia stroked Atala's head. "No, Honey. You're not a bastard. Mama never did anything that simple with your Papa or with anyone." Tia said.

"Perhaps because of the baby, your Auntie always shows your Papa's face in the room. That's why you recorded your Papa's face in your mind." Tia said.

Tia started telling stories. "Your mother used to work in Cikarang. After my divorce with Adrian....." Tia told me all about her life.

From the beginning He knew Lambok and was not sanctioned by Grandma and her Grandpa Twins. Until her marriage to Adrian and her separation.

Tia rubbed her tears considering her suffering in the past. "Hik.. hik..."

Lita stroked Tia's back gently. Lita also did not expect her mother to suffer so much.

"Then Mama found you at the door of Mama's contract." Tia continued her story.

Atala listened carefully. Atala moved up and hugged Tia's body with herself resting on both knees.

Tia rubbed Atala's back. "Mama can't live without you, son. Hik... hik..." Tia back sobbing.

"Tuh Brother... Mom loves my sister very much... So you don't have to think no." Said Lita.

"Lita is sometimes jealous of Big Brother, because Lita feels Mama loves Big Brother more than Me and Vita." Said Lita slowly.

Atala broke her hug on Tia. Tia looked at Lita.

"No Son... Mama's never differentiated Mama's kids..." Tia said softly.

Lita hugged Tia's body from the side. "I'm sorry Lita Ma... Because Lita thinks no to Mama."

"Yes Honey... Not what. Don't repeat it." Tia said.

"You're Atala... Mama never thought you were a pickle boy.. Mama feels your mother's womb was once occupied." Said Tia who rubbed Atala's cheek.

Atala kissed Tia's face.

"What's this?" Suddenly Lambok was on the doorstep of his study.

"Lad...." Atala and Lita said in shock.

"Why did you say hello but no one was saying anything?" Said Lambok who looked confused.

"I'm who..." Tia back sobbing. While stretching out his hand.

Lambok just put the bag down. He approached his wife who was crying.

Lambok hugged Tia's body. "What's up, honey? Is something wrong?" Ask Lambok.

Lita rubbed Papa's arm. Lambok looked at Lita. Lita submitted the Document.

Lambok. "Astaghfirulla... How did you find this?" Ask Lambok to Atala.

"So Atala accidentally Pa... Atala document file for completeness of Campus needs, left behind. Mama calmed Tristan again. So I'm allowing Mama to take this." Atala said that shows the map in blue.

Lambok sighed. Lita immediately went to the kitchen. Lita makes a drink for the new Papa to arrive but has to see all this.

"I can't afford to lose Atala, honey." Tia's still crying.

Lambok rubbed Tia's back gently. Lambok was confused as to what to do. Because all the decisions are with Atala. Atala is already big, has been able to determine the path of life that he will take.

"Ma..." Call Atala soft. "Nor can't afford to lose Mama." Atala said, sitting next to Tia.

"While Atala was thinking, whose son was Atala? Why did Atala's parents throw Atala away?" Atala.

Lambok rubbed Atala's knee. Lambok stood up and sat down beside Atala.

Lita came in to bring a drink for her Papa and water for Tia and Atala.

"Pa... Ma's.. Sis.. Drink first." Said Lita who offered her nampan to Them.

"Please put it on the table, honey." Lambok Pinta.

Lambok took drinking water for Tia and thrust it at his wife. Tia accepts. "Bismilla..."

Then Lambok gave Atala a drink. Atala accepts. "Thank you Pa." Atala said she drank the water.

Lita took a cup of tea and gave it to the Papa. "Thank you, darling." Lambok.

"Pa... Ma's... However, Atala must find Atala's parents. Even though they threw out Atala... But..." Atala hung up her words.

Lambok rubbed Atala's arm. "Yes Nak... We understand... We'll talk about it again. What Papa wanted to say, whoever you are, to Us, you are still the oldest child in this house. You are Sister Twins and Tristan."

"You saw your Mama... He's been hit hard. He can't break up with you..." Lambok.

Atala immediately moved and fell on Tia's knee. Atala threw her head down on both of Tia's thighs.

"I'm sorry Atala Ma... Atala is ungrateful... Atala will not leave Mama. Atala just wants to know who Atala's real parents are." Atala.

Tia rubbed Atala's head. "Mama understands very well, dear...."
