Bu Sarofah's eyes widened in shock at the question coming out of her son's mouth. Now he is confused to answer.
How'this? I answer exactly as I know or I pretend not to know? Ah, Dimas even makes me dizzy. Why did he also tell Arion this matter, it was troublesome, Ms. Sarofah said in her heart.
Arion and Dimas looked at Bu Sarofah with hopeful gazes. The two of them did not distract him from Ms. Sarofah, as if they were waiting for an answer from her.
Ms. Sarofah sighed. Staring at Arion and Dimas alternately, then he began to tell everything he knew, starting from the beginning Intan was at the house of Arion and the death of Arion's biological mother.
The two young men listened carefully. They were both silent, busy with their thoughts.
Arion's heart churned. He tried hard not to believe what he heard. Unfortunately Arion's little heart rejected him. He did not accept being separated from his biological mother who should have accompanied him since childhood, taught him many things and witnessed his growth to become the adult he is today.
Both Arion's hands clenched firmly. His anger raged in his heart. Even now he could not think clearly to think about what to do. In his mind just blame Intan, the connecting mother who had been loved and considered as his own biological mother.
Arion moved from his seat. Without saying anything, he walked out of the place, leaving Dimas and his mother still sitting and looking pityfully at him.
There was the sound of Arion's motorbike being fastened by him, as if showing his current mood.
"Dim, is he gonna be okay?" asked Bu Sarofah who looked anxious after hearing the sound of Arion's motorbike, passing away from his front house.
"Come, Ma. It seems like Arion looks really angry right now. Let's just hope he's emotionless and acts stupid" Dimas replied as he shook his head, responding to a question from his mother.
Suddenly, Ms. Sarofah's hand lightly hit her son's arm, saying,
"It's because of you. Why did you tell Arion about his mother? Now, how? What if she's mad at her stepmother?"
"I think Arion has a right to know, ma'am. He should know if he has a birth mother who gave birth to him, not a mother who has been nurturing him," said Dimas while trying to fend off the hands of his mother who tried to hit him.
Ms. Sarofah stopped her blow. He thought about Dimas' words that were true. He looked at his son, and said,
"You're right, Dim. It's just that I'm worried about Arion. What if he ends up killing his stepmother out of anger and wanting to take revenge on her, while in his house there is no Mr. Fabian."
"That's true too, Mom. At this hour, Mr. Fabian is still working. Did Dimas just go there, Mom?"
"Yes, you leave now, afraid that there will be nothing with them" said Ms Sarofah as she held Dimas' arm and slightly raised him.
Dimas soon got up from his seat, but as he was about to walk, Ms. Sarofah pulled his arm. Dimas looked at his mother, and said,
"What's up, Mom?"
"Dim, don't go there. You better stay home" replied Ms. Sarofah with a compassionate look at her son.
"What's up, Mom? Didn't you tell Dimas to go to Arion's house?" asked Dimas while frowning his forehead.
"If anything happens later, you will also be affected. So, you better stay home."
Dimas understood what his mother felt. He saw the worry clearly in his mother's eyes. He grabbed his mother's hand, and smiled at her, saying,
"Alright, Mom. Dimas won't be there. Just stay home."
However, in the heart Dimas was very different. He is eager to catch up with Arion to his house, as he is very worried about her.
Hope you're okay, Arion. May you not act foolishly. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you at this time, Dimas said in his heart.
On the other hand, it was precisely at the Fabian residence. Arion put his motorcycle on the porch of his house. He rushed into his house, to look for Intan, his mother who had been caring for him and loving him.
Arion tries to hold back his anger and emotions. As much as he could hold it, so as not to do anything stupid without knowing the story of Intan and Fabian. He wanted to hear firsthand the confessions of the two parents who were taking care of him.
He walked with a sense of anger that had filled his heart, but with all his might was held back. His eyes searched his mother's figure throughout the room. Suddenly his steps stopped when he saw the figure he was looking for.
Arion looked at Intan, the figure of his mother who had been taking care of him. Right at that moment, Intan was standing behind him. He was worried and there was sadness he felt at this moment. In his heart he said,
Mom, is it true everything I've heard about you? About my birth mother, her death and her death relationship with you. Oh my God, how should I? Do I have to hate him, while he has been taking care of me with his affection? I really don't know, did he really love me and pity me sincerely as his son? I'm really confused, God.
For a few moments he remained silent there. Standing watching my mother's back. He felt if it turned out that there were so many things he did not know. He felt betrayed and hurt.
The pain she now feels overcomes her pain when Adelia says to end their closeness. The stroke of his affection and disappointment in the figure of the mother, he continued, was clearly drawn before him. That back, the back of a woman he had always called mother, incised a wound of his own.
Arion still looked at the mother from behind, and said in his heart,
Anyway I have to find out what really happened. I need to know the cause of my birth mother's death.
Slowly Arion stepped closer to the woman who was standing on her back. When it is directly behind her, the woman is facing backwards.
"Arion?!" intan said with a shocked expression to find his son standing behind him.
"Why are you standing behind Mom?" intan asked while looking in wonder at his son.
"Why are you quiet, Arion? Are you having a problem?" intan asked back while frowning his forehead.
Arion was still silent. He looked at the woman before him as if there were many questions he wanted to ask. Intan felt strange with Arion's eyes on her. Then he asked,
"What's Arion? Why do you look at Mom like that? Is there something strange about Mom?" tanya Intan went back to find out.
"Mom, is it true that you're not my real mother?" arion asked with his teary eyes.
