"Clarissa? Is Clarissa Kenzo's sister?" nathan said as he frowned. At that moment the sound of the car was heard.
"That might be Kenzo?" Nathan said. He sat down on the sofa again. A housemaid then handed Nathan a cup of tea.
"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" nathan asked the maid.
"Yes, sir, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, who's the woman standing next to Kenzo? The one in the family picture?" kenzo asked, pointing to a family photo on the wall.
"Oh she's Miss Clarissa, the youngest daughter in the family," the maid replied. Nathan could only smile wryly withstanding the feeling that was now so raging. 'So, this is your game Kenzo. You want to reward me with the same game? You keep me busy with Clarissa so I can't interfere with your wedding plans?'
"Sister Nathan!" call Kenzo who broke Nathan's daydream. Nathan then turned his gaze to the origin of the sound coming from the entrance of the house. He then smiled at the three people who now appeared to be standing in the doorway.
"Good afternoon everyone, sorry if my arrival bothers you all" Nathan said, holding back the raging feeling. Emotions re-entered his heart when he found out the reality of a game he was playing.
'Should I be angry at their game? But am I not more cruel? I've been playing with them for two years, those who should have been more entitled to be angry with me, I shouldn't be selfish because I did the same, even more full of intrigue and deceit, while what they do is nothing compared to what I have done, Nathan murmured again. He then smiled back as the three of them were already in front of him. They then sat down on the sofa, near Nathan sitting at this time.
"Nathan, you're not bothering us at all" Amanda replied. Nathan now looks wrong in front of the three of them, especially now Cleo looks at him with a suspicious look.
"What's up, brother? Is there something you want to talk about?" ask Kenzo.
"Kenzo, Cleo, Aunt Amanda, I came here to apologize to all of you. I'm sorry, for more than two years I've been deceiving your relationship into keeping you apart, especially you Cleo. I'm sorry if for the last two years I've made you look stupid following all the scenarios I've designed to fulfill my ambitions. And as for you Kenzo, I'm sorry if I've kept you apart from Cleo, I should have realized that from the first time I knew you I had no place to be in Cleo's life. Unfortunately, I always follow my ego to fulfill all my ambitions."
"It's Nathan, it's all gone, you don't have to think about it much anymore. The most important thing is that you can improve your relationship with Kenzo, you brothers, you were raised together since childhood. Love Kenzo as your sister, just like you used to. You used to love Kenzo so much, when I brought Kenzo home, you even kept crying and sulking so I wouldn't take Kenzo away" Amanda said. Nathan could only smile a little awkwardly.
"Of course, from now on I'll love Kenzo just as much as I used to. Kenzo, Aunt Amanda, there's one more thing. I want to apologize about yesterday's incident, I'm very evil to insult you and drop your mentality. Not only that, I have even opened a secret that all of you have covered, I have destroyed your relationship with your real father, when soon you will get married but I am doing this instead, I know for a fact that you're not okay right now. I also know that right now you must be very angry at Om Abimana, it's because of me. Again, I'm sorry Kenzo. I'm sorry Aunt Amanda, you must be so hurt by what I've done" Nathan added.
Nathan is now seen bowing his head with a look full of guilt, especially when Amanda is seen starting to shed tears. Cleo holds Amanda's body while wiping away her tears and trying to calm her down. Kenzo then got up from his seat and approached Nathan.
"Sister Nathan, I'm so grateful to you, I'm so grateful that you're the one I know who I really am, everyone's covering up my past. I know they did it for the good of my relationship with Abimana but for what is a good relationship based on a lie? It is better that I know the truth though it makes me sick, at least my relationship with Abimana is not built on pretense. I'm so grateful to you, Brother Nathan."
"Thank you very much, Kenzo. I hope you also accept Om Abimana as your real father, I believe he has changed. I was also sure that at that time he must have been khalaf because of his ambition, just like me who was too ambitious to get something I wanted without thinking about the feelings of others. If you can apologize to me, you can also apologize to Om Abimana, right Kenzo?"
Hearing Nathan's question, Kenzo smiled. "I'll think about it, brother."
"Sir, thank you very much for your advice."
"Tante Amanda, once again forgive me," Nathan said again, seeing Amanda now look much calmer.
"It's okay, Nathan. I shouldn't have covered up all that from Kenzo, he deserves to know what happened in his past but because of my selfishness, I've sacrificed my son's feelings" Amanda said.
"Mama, I know Mama did all that because Mama loved Kenzo so much, not because of Mama's selfishness" Cleo said as she reassured Amanda.
"Cleo, you better take Mama to the room, and accompany Mama to rest" Kenzo ordered.
Cleo then nodded her head. "Nathan, Auntie and Cleo go inside first. You don't feel guilty for us, for Auntie you never make a mistake when you unlock a secret about Kenzo's past. Aunt is even very grateful to you, now Aunt is relieved that she is no longer haunted by the fear of hiding Kenzo's past."
"Yes Aunt, thank you very much. Cleo once again forgive me, I have separated you and made a wicked scenario for you and your son, but I forget, I am just an ordinary human being who cannot change destiny from God, he said, and you're not my destiny."
"It's okay, Nathan. Thank you for understanding us. Me and Mama Amanda go inside first."
Nathan nodded his head, then looked at Kenzo. "Kenzo, may I ask you something?"
"Yes, what's wrong, Nathan?"
"It's about Clarissa."
