Long River
Undone



Oh. .. There is, Aska. Go back to doing it. I wonder why I can do this? I did hear reports of him getting drunk and then being helped by Monique, but I didn't know if there was any more after that. Mmh. This year has been a lot of trouble.


Chris' car entered his yard. He who was accompanied by his Bodyguard got out of his car.


Meanwhile, in Chris' room, Aska was still crying with Reina. He took all his heart out to his mother. "Map, Papa must have married Leka to that fucking Japanese huh ... Why did Papa leave without saying anything? Why would Papa do that to me?"


"Eh, don't say that, Aska. Muhasablah. Your correction. Don't blame anyone else. Do you know what a selfish person is? He blames others without allowing others to blame him. Yeah, that's you. You think, with the problems that surround you, it's everyone else's fault? You're in it, Aska. No problem can entangle you unless you contribute to it."


"My mistake was not much, just impregnating Monique, Map, but instead I should not marry Leka. It's not fair Map, it's not fair!" with tears Aska continues to defend herself.


"What did you say, just impregnate?" Chris walks into his room suddenly, causing Aska to panic. He shut up and stopped his crying. "What are you human beings made of? Porcelain stone, huh? What if it happened to your sister? Can you still babble like that?" he said a little hard.


"I'll beat Rojak and chop him up if he dares to do that to Salwa!"


"Well! Monique is human just like your sister Salwa. He has a family that loves him the way you love Salwa, but you have broken his heart, ruined their friendship, hurt his parents, and even you have SMEARED THIS FAMILY NAME YOU do not know. You really don't know yourself Aska, you've troubled a lot of people you don't care. You're just thinking about your own feelings, and the problems you've made with others you've ignored. If you don't acknowledge the boy, then you've ruined the future of another human candidate. Do you still feel like you're making a small mistake to forgive? Can't you see the domino effect you've created? Aska, you're really outrageous! I don't know how else to explain this to you!" Chris said it while shaking his head.


Aska carefully spoke because she was afraid of Chris. "But at least, Papa gave me a chance to meet Leka, tell her the problem and let me resign her marriage."


Chris looked at Aska in annoyance. "Are you stupid or what? Generally women, where to like in honey? You think Leka will take it? No, don't think about Leka anymore. He's already married to Kenzo."


"really?" ask Reina to make sure.


"Yes, for Aska to focus on just one woman!"


"Papa .. why would Papa do that to me ...." Aska started crying again.


"God ... Why don't you understand your mistake? You can't think of Leka anymore because she's now somebody's wife. Focus on Monique because she's pregnant with your child!"


"They also have a son from me Papa ...." Aska continues to seek justification.


"Aska! Leka is Kenzo's wife .. Don't bother her. Don't love make you blind to your mistakes!"


"Papa, why is everyone defending Kenzo? That man has always taken advantage of my pain. I tried to get a woman, but she was always the winner. He didn't even try to do anything to Leka but she married him instead. It's not fair Pa, it's not fair. Even he's getting rich, and I'm still working this way."


"You want to be rich like Kenzo? Good. Papa will teach you everything. From Monday tomorrow, Papa will move you to the factory. Learn all the areas of work there because our company depends on the 'life' of the factory. If you can improve the performance of the factory to be more efficient and good, Papa will prepare a better position for you. Also Papa does not tolerate delays and skip work because hunting(seeking) good food, because with that you have to cut the salary."


"Papa .. I don't want to go to the factory. Far away factory Pa, I have to go to work early in the morning. Mamaap help me Map...." Aska panics and asks for help from Reina, her mother.


"If you don't want to get tired on the road, you can stay in the dorms or look for cheap food around the factory." Chris has given me an alternative.


Aska imagined a dirty and narrow residence. He did not want it because he was used to living with all the facilities provided by Chris. After all, he still wanted to see Leka.


"Have, just work hard." Reina is encouraging.


Aska lowered her head, unable to convolve. Her tears began to dry up. "I'm in an apartment, I don't want to waste money on a place to live."


"Yes already. The spirit huh?" Reina continued to inflame the spirit of Aska.


Aska came out of the room with her head bowed. Only with Chris was he unable to argue. He just accepted his fate now.


After Aska died, Chris came to Reina. "Why can't you be hard on her? If you're a little harsh, maybe his stubbornness can be a little eroded and he can understand other people."


"In the family, the good ones have yin and yang elements in them. Dark-bright, high-low and hard-soft. Aska is an orphan and she is very sensitive. We should embrace him with a soft heart in addition to a little firm in teaching it. If you're hard on her, I need to be gentle so she doesn't feel ignored."


"But Reina, I can't privilege even one child. That's not fair to them."


"I know, (I know) but stay in that family, there's got to be a balance. If we're both hard I'm afraid he's running." Reina wrapped her hands around her husband's neck.


Chris took a breath.


"What about Lydia?"


"She often has a fever, so she often doesn't go to school. Maybe he's psychically ill. Missed his father."


"Mk." Chris wrapped his hand around his wife's waist. Then kiss her forehead. "He saw his own father being captured so it weighed on his soul. Hah ... is there no word from Anna?"


"Not yet dear."


"Mk." Chris fused his forehead with Reina. "What do I have to decide with the Le Blanc family tomorrow?"


"Mh, seeing so many people who so easily underestimate their relationship, I became more afraid of losing you."


Reina smiled almost laughed. "I wouldn't. You?"


"Not in a million years (never will be at any time)."


----------++++----------


Aska was still in the parking lot of her apartment, but she was reluctant to get out of her car. Thought's dead-end. His tears still trickle down given his failure to marry Leka, his beloved ex-wife. He had sacrificed a lot for her, time, energy, attention, but she was married to someone else. How hurt he was, the woman stayed one step away from him, but left him just like that. Leka is married to her arch-enemy who has been trying to get rid of her life slowly by bullying her, humiliating her and humiliating her. It's just to get Kenzo out of his life. Kenzo, the man is indeed a threat to Aska because he always felt insecure (unsafe) being nearby. All the women he wanted always ended up choosing Kenzo. Though Aska is not the type of person who easily falls in love and the type of loyal to his partner. That's what makes Aska difficult to let go of Leka. He loved her and would not see anyone else. It was just Leka he wanted, whenever.


Why was it in the middle of him fighting for Leka's love? Why could he leave at that time, just because of his failure to rise in office? Mmh, it was my own stupidity to be stuck with Monique at that hotel. Hah .. but still he did not want Leka to be with Kenzo.


His dead-end mind made him even more dazed. Leka, don't leave me. I love you so much. I need you so much. You have to come back to me, anyhow. Anyhow ....


------------+++----------


Leka brought food for her husband. She saw her husband talking to an old Japanese man.


" Yes, kiotsukete, ojiichan. Nihon ni ikou kara's eyes, (Be careful, Cake. Next time I'll go to Japan again to see you.)" Kenzo told Ojiichan.


"City, otoko ni narou yo ... Mata atarashi seigatsu wa matteru.Be a real man. New life is waiting for you in the face)" advised Ojiichan as he patted Kenzo's shoulder.


"Arygato, Ojiichan.(.Thank you, Cake)"


"Mmh?" Leka noticed the two of them chatting. Kenzo sat on a chair while holding Runi. The little girl was just as confused.


"Oh, this is Ojiichan. My grandfather." Kenzo tells.


"Grandfather Ojiichan?"


"Oh, no." Kenzo almost laughed. "Ojiisan means grandfather. San is for public calls but if you call chan it means you're familiar like ojiichan to my own grandfather."


"Oh, that means Grandpa." Leka almost laughed at herself.


"She can't speak Japanese, right? How about English?(He doesn't speak Japanese, does he? What is English?)"


Kenzo looked at his wife. Leka knew about what the grandfather said but she had a hard time answering it. It shows 2 fingers that are close together. "Little?(little)"


"A little." Kenzo fix.


"A little," repeated Leka.


"Oh, that's good. That's good.(Oh, good, good)"


"Gut, gut," said Runi, imitating Ojiichan speaking.


Everyone laughs. Runi had no idea why people were laughing at her. All he knew was that Ojiichan rubbed Runi's head gently.


"Sister, let's eat." Leka's getting ready to feed Kenzo.


"Eh, I can do it myself." Kenzo was a little embarrassed, the problem was that the spacious place next to the mosque was crowded by guests.


"How is it?" Leka looked at Kenzo waiting for an answer.


"Eh ...." The man himself did not know how to do it.


"So, you eat." Leka bribed Kenzo immediately.


Ojiichan laughs. "In the future, you better listen to your wife, I think.(In the future, you should listen to your wife, I think.)" He shields his chin with his right hand.
