Gone off?

CHAPTER 26 (A Tragedy)

That day nothing was different, it looked the same as usual. The house that was never peaceful was still the same. The harsh words of his parents also still did not change even though he was 18 years old.

Anjani looks happy, because finally he can graduate from school. She will continue her new life as a student. However, on such a happy day it also became a grey day for him. An unexpected tragedy happens to him, when he accidentally kills his own biological father.

Because the incident made him mentally disturbed and made him have to be in therapy for 3 years. He who should be charged with murder is released on parole after seeing his unstable condition and the mother's confession about the truth of the story.

"Mother.I killed her." Anjani said with a trembling tone and body looking at her mother.

The mother, who saw the scene before her, was shocked and also slightly shaken. She did not expect that her husband would die right in front of her with Anjani who was still preventing an urn that had been broken in her hand because it was made to hit her father's head. Her cry looked bloody from hitting the shards.

Seeing the scene, the mother just fell silent and slightly fixated trying to understand the situation that occurred. Her condition is not good and looks weak, her appearance is also messy because of the physical violence of her husband who was drunk.

Anjani only wants to stop his father, but he does not realize that what he is doing makes him have to kill his father, he who was with his mother at that time was getting blow after blow from his father and he just wanted to defend himself from the rampage of his father who was drunk.

The child and mother were very surprised to find it, both felt fixated with the situation that occurred.

"Anjani realize, son, now get away from here." Said the mother approached Anjani who was still still glued to her place.

"Mother please go, stay away let mother.let mother handle it, so go. Go and live freely and do whatever you want." Said mother again with a trembling tone.

But Anjani still remained fixated with a blank look where he stood while looking at his father's body lying unconscious with blood continuing to flow from his head.

"Anjani wake up, son.." Shake the mother on Anjani's body and cry hugging her child's body.

"I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry. It's the mother's fault for ignoring you and letting you experience something like this. Please give me a chance to repay you, so go, son." With a vibrating tone and a body that was also trembling looked at his son who was never aware of his shock.

"I killed him.." Anjani then fainted in his mother's arms.

......................

Still in front of his mother's grave, Anjani was sitting limp by continuing to apologize to his mother who had died.

"I'm guilty of letting him bear all the wrongs I've done."

"That day I should have talked and said that I killed, but I couldn't even talk and let my mother bear it all."

Anjani sobbed to recall the tragedy 14 years ago. Sitting limp with tears streaming down his cheeks, staring at the grave of his mother who was right in front of him, he could not resist his grief by continuing to feel guilty for his late mother.

Lea who was next to him could only pat Anjani on the shoulder to make her calmer.

"Maybe it's your mother's decision, I hope you don't blame yourself, because I'm sure this is what your late mother expected. The current situation also cannot blame you completely, because it was purely an accident." Lea calmed Anjani.

Anjani wiped away her tears that had soaked her cheeks, she became calmer to the comfort of Leah.

"I'm very grateful to you, because you're the one who still wants to be by my side despite knowing my bad past."

"I should be thanking you for supporting me who has no purpose, even giving me this position." Reply Lea.

Anjani smiled a small smile between her tears after hearing the sincere words of Leah. He felt grateful for Lea's presence at his side.
