Double-role

CHAPTER 118 (Season 2)

The pain still lingers and dances over the horizon of illusion. Beautiful memories that have passed from the past to again deliver helplessness in the present.

No matter how bad a father's treatment remains to be respected. Because after all he is an old man who has contributed in life.

At a very young age, Raihan was required to accept various circumstances in his family. He became a child victim of broken home for the egoism of the father.

Once again he was just a victim, he was urged to understand all the conditions that occurred. Far from being in the minds of his children, he still wants a harmonious life with his father and mother.

However, again what happened to the mother had to tear down the family palace. Without Alina knowing actually Raihan always envied his friends at school.

They always talk about how exciting and fun it can be to spend the holidays with mom and dad. Something that has disappeared in Raihan, which can be chuckled with the father.

The stories of his friends instantly made him speechless. Raihan can only sculpt and continue to tell his three classmates chattering.

"You know last week my dad just bought me a new toy, a big car. It's so great the engine sound is so smooth."

"I was also invited by my father to the playground last week.

"Me and Dad just burned meat at home. The meat you bought was delicious."

That's the word that makes Raihan can't dwell. The situation in his family is different, the father and mother have separated making him have to lose one.

"What about you, Han? Did your dad buy you toys or play with you?" ask his friend who was fat in school.

Raihan who had been pensive to hear their story was surprised not playing. The three friends were staring at him and waiting for an answer.

"My dad is very good. He also used to buy me toys and take us on vacation."

Lies, everything Raihan said was a lie. He had to cover up what happened to his family. Those words happened years ago when he was five years old. However, everything is only temporary because he did not know the truth.

Now he could only display a smile full of falsehoods covering all the heart wounds. The house called the palace of happiness was shattered. His little heart whispered softly if in fact he was reluctant if the two parents had to separate.

Raihan is one of the many children who are victims of broken homes. Although the mother said nothing about their separation, she knew what was going on with her parents.

He was again forced to understand and take a decision that was far from the mind of an eight-year-old child. Months of changing circumstances of his family make the figure of Raihan grow without the presence of a father.

Good or bad father figure, he is still a parent who must be respected and loved. Similarly with Raihan, although the attitude of the father to him is different, but one name will always be in his heart.

"Well, are we really not able to go back with dad?" That plain question was triggered from the crack of his reddish lips.

Alina who was still holding him on the sofa was dumbfounded with a gamang. Where did that question come from? Her thought.

"Did Raihan want to stay with me?" ask the mother again after a long silence.

"Well, why does Raihan thirst to choose between you? Mah, did Raihan's words last night make you sad? Last night, I apologized and cried in front of Raihan, but ... Raihan didn't say anything and just left dad."

His little body shook again, sobs sounded heartbreaking. Alina was shocked to hear the confession of the baby.

"W-what? Dad's sorry?" Raihan only nodded briefly.

"That means you've really admitted your mistake. Has Raihan forgiven you?" ask Alina again.

Long Raihan was lulled with his own thoughts, the clinking of the clock in the room accompanied loneliness. He then stretched out his arms and looked up to look into the clear bead of the mother.

"Raihan never hated dad, Mah. Raihan only .. sad when you know that you love Aqeela more. Raihan didn't want to see Dad or Mamah cry, but last night. Raihan also said that he was often in the room and mentioned Yasmin's name" Raihan said.

Alina was fixated and could not believe her baby could find out that far. He or Azam both do not know if Raihan observes the movements of his parents.

"Tante Yasmin is .. His mother Aqeela right, Mah? So, you've loved Aunt Yasmin more than us?" Another question just escapes.

"Honey, you're too young to understand our situation, but ... Mom and Dad can't be together anymore. Raihan knows for himself not if Mamah often cries when with dad? Mamah is also happy if Raihan does not hate father. Because after all Azam's father will still be your real father, dear," Alina replied.

Raihan nodded weakly and rubbed his rough tears. "If ... if father asks Raihan to stay with him, will Mamah allow it?"

The question this time made Alina unable to pucker up. Far from the bottom of his heart he was afraid if it happened. However, he also realized they were father and son who could not be separated just like that.

"Did Raihan want to stay with me?"

Raihan pensively looked down briefly and raised his head again. "Raihan .. wants to live with your father and Mama." That is the hope of every child.

No one wants to see their mother and father separate. A child needs the attention of both parents. However, if circumstances do not allow then separation is better. Separation is not the end of everything, but the beginning to change in a better direction.

"You're sorry, honey. Mom and Dad can't be together anymore. Mom and Dad are separated now. Also ... You have a new father, uncle Zaidan," explained Alina told the reality.

Hearing the confession from his mother invites more tears. Clear keristal continues to fall on both cheeks.

Raihan thought that their departure at that time to leave the father was only temporary. However, it turns out that for good, father and mother cannot get back together. In his life, there is someone else who will be his new father.

A Raihan's life would change without a real father. The fear was inherent in him, he also knew that Zaidan was a good man who could make his mother smile.

However, at the bottom of his heart, he thought that his real father did not love him wholeheartedly, let alone others who had no blood relationship with him.

...Seriate......
