Talk In Silence

Slender. That's what describes Caesar's family's lull on that sunny Sunday. Rey just got back from her business outside. After this morning's meal that also had no interaction from Deeva, she went straight into her room and did not come out.

Gts ... Gts ...

Pokreeekkkk. ..

Deeva who was reading a book in her room turned to Rey who was standing behind the door.

"Does Rey bother you, Dek?" tanyakanya.

The cute girl just shook her head and smiled at her brother. Rey approached her sister. He stroked his beloved sister's head.

"How are you doing now, Dek?" ask Rey.

"I'm fine, Rey. No need to worry," Deeva replied lying.

"Darling ... You might be able to say no. But you're wrong if you think you can lie to Rey's eyes. Rey knows you're not okay. Rey understands how you feel. But this is not absolutely the fault of Papi or your Mother. Accept this fate with a chest. Surely there is no intention of Papi to ignore you what else to throw you. Rey really understands who Papi is" Rey said.

For a moment Rey was silent, set again the rhythm of her breath, set again her feelings. Deeva just fell silent digesting every word her older brother said.

"That night when you fell asleep in the car, Papi was the one who gave a pillow refutation so that your sleep is comfortable. And cover you so you feel warm. Then it was Papi who carried you and took you to the room. Papi doesn't want you to be sad, even though he knows you'll hate him. But his instincts as a father cannot be lied to. He was really worried about you when you had no news all day yesterday, and then you came home late at night. Papi's afraid something bad happened to you. And it's not just Papi who feels that, Rey feels the same." Rey was silent for a moment. He stared deeply at the bead of his beloved sister's eyes.

"Sir Rey and especially Papi are thrilled to learn that you are part of this family. You deserve to be part of the Caesar family. Papi's son, Junan Hariz Caesar's son. Rey's sister is the only one. Rey, I hope you can think well of Rey's words. Open your heart, make peace with destiny. You are Rey's most gentle, intelligent and wise brother."

"Sir Rey stay first yes, dear ..." Rey nodded and kissed her sister's cheek.

Adeeva fell silent after the departure of her sister, she still locked herself in her room. Reviewing everything again, pulling strands by strands of what happened.

As well as Junan, he just locked himself in his room. Reflecting on every inch of what he has done and what he must do between the hatred of his biological daughter Rey is in the midst of both of them, between father and son who are in a cold war.

Gts ... Gts ...

Keekkk ...

"Can Rey come in, Pi?" say Rey politely

"Come on Rey" replied Junan

Junan shifted his seat. He only sighed as Rey came, as if to tell the inner uneasiness he was feeling at the moment. Rey sat near her papi, leaning her body against the soft foam of the sofa.

"Where's your sister, Rey?" ask Junan.

"Deeva's in her room, Pi."

"Where was he last night until he got home that late. Papi was very worried about her. She's a girl. Don't let anything happen to him." Junan's sigh sounded raucous.

His self-esteem is too high to show his weakness as a man. As much as possible he suppressed his feelings before his eldest son. Rey knows the character of her Papi. His affection for his children was not resisted by anything.

"Deeva just said drive around the mall and go to the movies with her friend, Pi. Just hang out after the exam" Rey explained.

"Thank God, Papi's glad to hear that."

"Rey, hope Papi holds back a little against Deeva. He seems very sensitive. His feeling is very soft. Rey is afraid she's distressed by this situation" Rey asked.

"Yes, Papi understands what you mean. We better give Deeva a little time to think and calm down. Papi believes he's a smart, mature kid. It was just that his heart needed time to adapt to this fate. Your sister is very young, she is also a woman. It is different from the way a man looks. Women put their hearts and feelings first than their minds" explains Junan.

Junan only smiled in response to his eldest son's comment. They drifted back and were caught in the dead.

Drrr.... Drr...

"Good morning, Mr. Junan," said someone on the other end of his phone

"Good morning" replied Junan.

"Sorry, Sir. Disturbing your morning. I'd like to report my investigation about Ms. Ruz ..."

A mercenary who Junan ordered to observe Ruz's movements reported something. Suddenly Junan became pias. Without further ado, she headed for the bathroom, cleaned herself and changed clothes. Junan snatched his car keys. He didn't tell anyone about the hunt. Two hours into his journey to reach his destination, he immediately searched the intended room.

Keekkk ...

"Ruz .." call him

Ruz who was lying weakly on the bed turned towards the door. A red hue seemed to be drained from his face, his lips curving carving a smile of sadness.

"You came, Jun," he said weakly.

"How you doing, Ruz. Oh, my God, you're so pale and skinny. You suffer so much Ruz," softly heard from the words that came out of Junan's lips.

"How do you know I'm here, Jun? Where's Deeva?"

"My man reported it. Deeva's at home with Rey, I can't tell them."

"Please don't, Juni. Don't tell Deeva I'm doing this. Poor him, Jun."

Junan nodded his head, his face looked sadly at the woman he still loved so much, his hand gently stroked the cold cheek of Ruz on his big hand. Their eyes met, telling each other about longing. Dozens of years of distance and time that destiny usurped separated them. The two people who still loved each other gave up the longing in their beautiful moments then, without any words, just spoke in silence.

"Jun ..." call Ruz then.

"Hmmm..."

"May I ask you something, Jun?" ruz's eyes poked Jun's eyes with an extremely pleading gaze.

"Yes, say Ruz ..."

"If anything happens to me later, I beg Jun, take care of Deeva for me. She's your good daughter, Jun."

"Without you asking me to do it, Ruz. It's my responsibility as his real father. Deeva will be in my protection, you don't worry about that. Just concentrate on your recovery, Ruz. Passion to heal, for the sake of our daughter, Deeva," Jun said.

Ruz heaved a sigh of relief, plastered a happy smile on his face. He believed that Jun would keep his word. He knew very well the character of the man who married her. Jun grasped Ruz's tan with his two large palms, giving great energy to Ruz to keep his spirit for his recovery.

Junan faithfully accompanied Ruz in the hospital, waiting for him day and night. In recent days Ruz's condition has been declining, doctors say they can only surrender with the spirit of the patient's life. Jun this time was really frustrated, he actually felt an incredible pain at the end of his heart when the woman he loved so much had to fight death alone. The next two days Ruz critically returned, he was unconscious, his breathing began to thin, his pulse again weakened. The next day Ruz realized in a very weak state even very weak.
