DESTINY LINE

37.

The day that Papa and Mama were waiting for finally arrived. Even though I locked myself up, even though I tortured myself not to eat, today still happens. I can't prevent it. I realized, I was no longer their little daughter that every time I cried I wanted to, they were always filling up, but now, they were walking alone.

Those who work at home have resigned, because Mama has told him from the beginning, that maybe our house will be taken over by his new wife father even though they are not married, he said, and they decided to leave, I think they're keeping Mama's feelings.

Mom and Dad approached me. I hate it today, because the verdict means they're out and they're officially divorced.

" Sarah, sorry. Dad might disappoint you! ." said Dad trying to hold my hand but I immediately kept it away.

" You're no longer willing to talk and look at Father! ." Add it this time with a voice that looks raucous.

" Why is he talking to you, marry me soon! ." Said Mama suddenly who had been talking before us.

" I don't know what you poisoned Sarah with, but I hope you didn't tell the lie, you better be honest with my son ." Saying Father. It made me look at the two in turn. My mom looked nervous as I looked into her eyes. Then he turned away as if he was reluctant to say it.

" What story, Ma, Pa? ." I asked the two.

" What else, your father is guilty ."

" me? You are really shameless. Or you want me to tell you everything here, so everyone knows ." Said Papa. For some reason, it felt so painful for me to see the debate between the two of them. Our once warm family is now a stranger. All eyes were looking towards us. While Mama and Papa still continue to argue no matter the surrounding view.

The woman I saw yesterday with Dad now turned to me and pulled my hand away from there. I tried to shake her off but she didn't care and she pressed her hand even more. Maybe because I'm not excited.

" Let go, what are you doing! ." My sergeant was quick when the woman took me far away from where it was.

" Follow me, and I'll tell you ." The reply was no less looking at me. We stopped at a nearby cafe. He chose a seat far away from other visitors.

" I'm sorry, maybe you hate me, but you have to know the truth and act like a grown-up! ." He said he was somehow so confident. I laughed at him.

" Be grown-up you say? You ruined my parents' relationship and marriage, and you asked me to act grown up, shameless as hell as you are ." I stared at the angry woman.

" I know you're angry, but I think you're misunderstanding, I don't destroy anyone if your mother doesn't start everything! ."

" Hhhh, don't destroy your word. What else is done by women who are still married, you even have a child who is the same age as me. Is it not satisfied enough? Then, what do you want to say about my mother? ." looks like the woman breathed heavily.

" You must have heard that from your mother ." Now he says it while laughing.

" What do you mean? I don't know why I'm wasting time listening to you ."

" Then do you know if your mother is pregnant ? ." Ask this time. I was quite stunned to hear his words.

" And your mother was the first to have a lover and get pregnant, and you know who her lover was? Brondong! ." His laughter came after saying that. Yeah, I look surprised to hear that. The woman, named Maya, said she also lied about saying she still had a husband and children. She confirmed that she had been married before but her husband left her for another woman. He insists that he cannot destroy their relationship if he knows how painful it is to be betrayed. He also told me that he did have a daughter but he had not seen her since he divorced.

He left me and got out of here. I was still shocked by what I just heard. How did Mama do it and she still blames Papa? I didn't know if Mama would do it. I looked towards the woman who had given birth to me. He looked back at me.

" I know everything, Ma. Mama started it! ." I didn't let Mama explain it, and immediately left after saying it to Mama. He seemed no less surprised than me. Mom looked nervous and she just kept quiet. I smiled after knowing that.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to be soft, even though I don't blame Papa anymore. Traitor and pregnancy are things that can never be forgiven. Maybe that's how Papa feels. I don't stand up for Papa and don't like that reason either, but blaming and hating Papa, is a bad thing that I shouldn't have done.

My dad hugged me and I hugged him back. I apologize to Papa, because this happened probably because of my fault. But Papa refused by saying that Mama had often done it but this time Papa could not let it and decided to divorce.

" Dear no, it's not your fault! ." Said Papa giving me a kiss in my head many times, a sign that he was sorry.

Here I also met Abimana. He felt my pain and tried to strengthen me. I smiled in response to that. Then I say goodbye from there. I don't want to see anyone right now. I just want to be alone and try to accept everything that has happened.

Akari's right. I have to be here, this is my place. With me here, it means I'm strengthening Papa too. I have to give Papa the strength because the saddest thing here is Papa.

For some reason, thinking about Mama, it made me feel that I was exactly like her. Betrayed and pregnant, then dumped the baby. I did too. Is that why you understand and understand her? Because he's the same as me?

" You're not the same, Sarah. What happened to you was a glimpse of the past even though you were about to betray me but I knew it first! ." Abi said suddenly. I looked at him who was walking towards me.

" It's not the same, Sarah, and it's not your fault. This has absolutely nothing to do with you ." His voice glanced at me at a glance then turned to stare in the other direction in front of there.

" I know how you feel right now, because my parents did it first! ." Said Abi throwing his breath heavy. I remember Jackson's story about little Abimana. He got up on his own after his father left and fought on his own before his mother took him.

Right, what I'm experiencing is nothing compared to what little Abhimana feels. He must be suffering and not know how to handle it.
