Reyhan stopped his car right in front of a public funeral. Irene who had been studying her sadness about the figure of the woman to be introduced by her husband, but now she was stunned when Reyhan brought her to this place.
Irene knew she wanted to die when she found out that her husband had another woman. But not to bring him to this place now.
"Why are we here?" Irene asked a little doubtfully.
"Let's go with it" said Reyhan, who got out of his car and opened the door for his wife.
Reyhan invites Irene to get out of the car.
"A. I know if you have another dream woman but. at least don't bury me alive right now" Irene murmured fearfully.
The words caught by his sense of hearing made Reyhan smile. Now he knew that Irene had misunderstood him.
Although with a little bit of anger and fear Irene followed the steps of her husband who was hugging a bouquet of roses they bought earlier.
Their steps stopped at a tomb located at the very end.
"We have arrived" Reyhan said.
At first Irene was behind Reyhan, but when Reyhan said so, the girl also took a position next to Reyhan. He was surprised when he saw the name on the tombstone.
Dera Dinanti
Same last name as Irene. He also saw the year of death listed there and only a few months later on the day of his birth.
"He.." Irene muttered.
"She's your mother, my mother-in-law" Reyhan explained.
Immediately Irene slammed into the ground. His legs suddenly felt limp unable to hold his body. His tears flowed so hard in front of the tomb of the woman who had given birth to him.
"Mama.." said Irene.
Only that one word came out of her tiny lips. On top of being devastated when you accept the real harsh reality.
All this time Irene considered that the mother who gave birth to her did not want her existence. But the girl's assumption was wrong. He used to think he would hate his mother if one day the woman who had given birth to him was looking for him. But Irene felt even better if her mother was still alive. At least he can see clearly how his mother looks.
Seeing his wife crying as she hugged her mother-in-law's headstone, Reyhan held her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
"I wish that someday I could meet her and she looks at me apologizing for wasting me. At least I can hate it while looking at her face" Irene said as busily.
Reyhan wiped away his wife's tears, and brought the girl into his arms.
"God doesn't allow you to hate the woman who risked her life for you" Reyhan said.
Irene could only nod while crying so hard.
"Where is my Papa?" Irene looked up as she looked at her husband's face.
"After this let's meet your Papa" Reyhan said.
"Is he still alive?" ask Irene.
Reyhan answered with a nod.
"Why doesn't he look for me? why did he abandon me?" Irene hatch.
Reyhan was silent and did not answer his wife's question. He thought that the one who should answer all the questions posed by Irene was her own father.
...
That afternoon Reyhan took Irene to a restaurant that served private space. Irene stared at the door, impatiently waiting for her meeting with her father.
Almost twenty minutes Irene's eyes were still fixed on the door that was still closed. Several times Reyhan offered his wife what to order while waiting, but Irene refused and said she wanted nothing.
No matter how angry he is, this is still his first meeting with his father.
Shortly afterwards there was the sound of the door opening, revealing the figure of an old man with glasses perched in his nose. There was a sense of happiness in him despite the domineering anger. It was undeniable that Irene was looking forward to this moment, the moment the girl came face to face with her biological father.
"Please sit down." Reyhan said welcoming his father-in-law.
The man was sitting right in front of his daughter who he had not yet raised.
Not long after, another figure appeared from behind the door. Irene knew that figure very well. The man who betrayed her.
"Arya .." muttered Irene.
Arya just smiled her smile and then took a sitting position next to her father.
Irene looked at Reyhan, puzzled by the presence of Arya's figure in the place.
"He is Mr. Surya, your father" Reyhan explained.
Reyhan immediately got a sharp look from Arya. Reyhan glanced at his wife, apparently Irene still wanted to listen to Reyhan's explanation.
"Arya is Mr. Surya's son" Reyhan explained.
Irene laughed when she heard the words from her husband. Everyone there looked at Irene in surprise.
"You don't joke around with my husband" Irene said. However as everyone looked at her seriously Irene instantly fell silent for a moment.
"So you.."
"Yes, I am your stepbrother" Arya said.
Irene immediately downed a glass of water in front of her until the toilet. This fact is hard to digest by his common sense.
"That means yesterday I was in a relationship with my own brother? hahaha that's ridiculous" Irene said.
"You know, why don't you be honest" Irene added.
"I don't want to hurt you" Irene said.
"Don't want to hurt me? didn't you hurt me then and there" Irene exclaimed.
When Arya and his wife were tossing words, Reyhan and his father-in-law were only loyal listeners who could not do anything.
"At least for the reason yesterday won't make you depressed, you could hate me for thinking I'm a jerk. The woman I was carrying was my friend's wife." explained Arya.
"You're afraid that if I'm depressed, but you keep hiding the truth, do you think that's right?" ketus Irene with eyes that began to glaze over.
"I'm sorry" said Arya bowed languidly.
Reyhan immediately clasped his wife's fingers, hinting Irene that he should be more calm.
"Why did Mr. Surya abandon me? why didn't you find me when Mom was gone?" Irene asked who did not call her father papa.
"Irene.." refuted Reyhan who was a little angry at calling his father-in-law that way.
"It's okay, Reyhan, Papa is guilty of not looking for you early. But, after that papa tried hard to find you even though you had been adopted by another family. Until finally Papa asked your brother for help to find your whereabouts. Papa was happy when he found you, but it was unexpected that you had a relationship with your brother" explained Surya at length.
"Papa's happy to see you grow up well to be a pretty girl. Your parasite is very similar to your mama" said Surya again.
Irene just threw her face away, looking up so her tears wouldn't spill.
"Papa apologizes for all the mistakes papa, then your father and brother say goodbye first" said Surya who left his seat, followed by Arya.
Reyhan tries to prevent her father-in-law, but Surya says that her daughter may take some time to understand all these events.
Surya and Arya stepped out of the place.
"Papa.." call Irene who got up from her seat.
Surya stopped his steps and turned to look at his daughter . Her tears fell as Irene called her papa.
"Did papa not miss me? Will papa leave me again? Doesn't papa love me?" the consecutive questions Irene uttered were accompanied by tears.
Surya shook his head, his tears also fell to hear his daughter's words.
"Papa loves you very much my son, even papa can not sleep well because he wants to meet you. Papa is very much looking forward to where papa can see you directly" said Surya.
"If you miss me why don't you hug me? twenty more years I look forward to the embrace of my own biological father" whined Irene.
Surya also touched his hands. Irene slowly walked towards Surya and hugged her papa tightly. Surya cried in the arms of her daughter, as did Irene. Surya's cry sounded very heartbreaking.He felt failed to be a good father because he did not see firsthand how his daughter grew up.
The atmosphere filled the room. Reyhan embraces Arya's shoulder, which occasionally turns her face over and covers that she is now dropping tears.
"Don't cry like that brother-in-law" Reyhan said.
"Why amused when you call me that" Arya said.
The two men laughed while embracing each other.
