Looking for a Blue Sky

Chapter 21 The Promise of Arkan

"Darling, don't you want a story, what did you talk to Farhan yesterday ?" ask Laras to her husband.

Andi sat down on the sofa, sighing harshly. Then he began telling his wife that Farhan would still use Rea to find his son Sky, after Heaven was found, he intended to divorce Lydia, then suing him for infidelity and hiding the fact that Rea was not his biological child, Farhan also intends to send Rea away from here after graduating High School, and make sure the boy won't return to this country.

Laras was sad to hear her husband's story, Tears had been pooled in the woman's eyes.

"After all, Rea I've considered like a child myself, that child knows nothing about his parents' problems, why should he accept all these consequences?" tears of Laras dripped, Andi immediately hugged his wife tightly.

"Why did Farhan turn three hundred and sixty degrees, the Farhan I had known was kind, understanding, and warm-hearted but why could he now have such cruel thoughts?" continued Aunt Laras, om Andi increasingly close embrace to his wife.

Arkan who from earlier stole heard from outside the entrance barged in, startling Laras and Andi who were still hugging.

"So this is the reason papa suddenly allowed me to move? do you know Farhan's plan to throw Rea away? Papa wants to give me one last chance to be with him before forever I can't meet him?"

Their eldest son looked very angry, Laras immediately distanced his body from the husband to approach the son.

"Arkan listen to the explanation of your father first," said Laras trying to calm his son.

"Arkan, you know papa and mama already consider Rea like our own biological child? Papa won't let the heart let that happen."

"Why did Farhan have such cruel thoughts? what's wrong with Rea?," asked Arkan in an emotional tone to his parents.

Laras walked over, grabbed Arkan's nape and rested his head on his son's shoulder, but the boy was too angry, he let go of his mother's embrace then came out leaving his parents who could only be stunned in silence.

Arkan ran out of the main house and sat on the edge of the pool that was still inside his house, Laras approached then sat next to his son, looking at the face of Arkan who was still staring at the water in the pool.

"Mah.y..,"

"Yes," Baras gently caressed the boy.

"I promise you, mama, I'll study properly, I'll go to college according to your majors and mama's will, I'll try to be the one who won't let you down, but-----"

For a moment Arkan was silent, staring fixedly at the face of the woman who gave birth to him.

"But what?" ask Laras.

"But after I succeed, let me marry Rea" Arkan said.

"I really wanted to protect that girl, mama probably didn't know, but I knew she was lonely, maybe until now every night she was crying alone in her room, she said, he could smile when in fact he was very sad."

Laras almost cried at the words his son had spoken about Rea and imagined all of Arkan's words.

"Mama likes Rea, she's a good kid, so you have to really keep your promise to mama, you're going to be a successful person, mama doesn't want to make Rea unhappy tomorrow as mama's daughter-in-law" said Laras while still stroking her son's hair.

Arkan smiled at the woman who gave birth to him, at least he knew that his mother also liked the girl he liked.

❤❤❤❤❤

A few years ago

Arkan recalled the incident where it was Rea's eleventh birthday, his grandfather made a simple birthday party at his home, his father did not come even though his mother was more concerned with his work, even though he was more concerned with his work, Rea is seen smiling happily until the party is over and the girl walks into her room, crying by her bed in the birthday party dress she still wears, curled up around the piles of gifts from the people who came to his party, Rea cried to his mother and father, while Arkan could only look at the girl's pity from behind the door.
