I Married My Raise Child

Bitterness

The world is full of stories and secrets. It's like a mystery that always follows our footsteps wherever we go, lies if someone says they don't have secrets.

Because everyone must have a dark time and bitterness. Dark times such as the past that must be forgotten and not re-taken while times of bitterness are times that do not know time, everyone can be hurt at any time and for anything. Believing in the heart if everything is going to be okay is indeed the best way to prepare yourself in the face of that bitterness.

Sometimes we ourselves cannot predict when the bitterness will come or what it will be. He bitterness is another name for hurt and disappointment, beginning with a mistake that comes out of nowhere and ends with regret.

Like Hans who held a grudge after Tao's death. For Hans it was all wrong, because if only Dean did not love Alika and did not plan all that then the tragedy of his sister's murder would have been avoided and maybe at this time his sister was still smiling beside him.

Every second of Hans' life he was always reminded of Tao's face. Asked at all times always ringing with the voice of his adoptive brother, Hans' memories of his laughter, his smile, his anger, his candlestick, his promise, and the gaze of his eyes always made Hans like a madman.

While in the hospital in a state of unconsciousness Hans was in his subconscious. Over and over again he mentioned Tao's name and let out tears, Dean and Alika who also witnessed it felt very hurt.

Dean feels guilty because he's the one who's finally gone. The physical injuries Hans was currently suffering were not worth the injuries he had sustained when he put his sister's head in her final resting place a year ago.

"She must miss him a lot" Alika said as she let out tears because she did not have the heart.

"Why are you shaking?" Alika asked while wiping her tears.

"Today all you see is the suffering of an older brother who has lost his sister because of your selfishness, while out there there there are still many people who are as afflicted as Hans... and it's all because of you. Today here I plead with you, please remove them from the wound.I beg you" Alika said, folding her hands before Dean and kneeling.

"Iwild..." Dean lirih.

"You are his brother..Today you yourself witnessed his suffering didn't your heart also hurt? Then think about how many brothers, how many fathers and mothers, how many sisters are out there who are also the same as Hans. please release them from the wound" Alika said with tears.

When he saw Alika pleading and kneeling Dean felt very guilty but also helpless because he could not confess in public for all his actions. Johan who witnessed it held Alika's hand and asked her to stand then pulled her into his wound but Alika refused by letting go of Johan's hand.

"I'm guilty of this too, Dean and I. We are equally guilty of them all, I have also lost the lives of many people. Our Dean and I will make amends for our mistakes, and I promise you that in the future we will be a much better person" Said Hans who then pulled Dean's hand out of the room leaving Alika who was still swept away in her grief.
