Meet Harlan Again
“It was indeed a picture of my face!” harlan said that two women who were staring at the sketch turned their heads, and the reaction of the two immediately turned drastic to surprise.
“Harlane!”
“Pak Harlan!”
The two people exclaimed almost in unison and reflexively they stood up from their seats.
While Harlan who saw Caca's face immediately clenched fists, with eyes reddened like burning embers. Directly fixed on the teenage girl as if she wanted to burn her alive.
Caca immediately inched rapidly towards Maisara's back and held tightly onto the pregnant woman's sleeves, with trembling hands. His mind raged, questioning why Harlan could be there and directly into Maisara's private room without permission, then why would he confess if the face in the poster was himself.
Are they husband and wife? Why did Maisara lie to me so much all this time? Whatdoes thatmean? And that ... her stomach is also a little distended, what do-don't she is pregnant and that is the child of—astagaa! This I can't believe!
While Maisara smiled sweetly, covering up the mistake and trying to make the atmosphere slightly melt away. He was not ready with what to say if these two people met someday. It turned out that now was the time and he had not prepared himself just in case the man had been rude to the two of them.
“You're friends with this kid?” harlan asked, he protested loudly to his wife and his eyes now turned to Maisara with a look of disbelief.
“Yes. Wh why? She's Caca, one of my loyal readers, you've known each other a long time since—“
“Enough!” harlan's voice violently snapped at Maisara and made the girl instantly speechless, then she asked, “You know who she is?”
Maisara was silent he did not want to be wrong in answering or behaving. Silence is the most appropriate action.
“Tell my wife! What have you done to my father until he's gone!” harlan's words astonished Maisara, not because Harlan admitted before Caca that he was his wife. However, because the man asked the teenager to repeat a story that for him was very painful.
Harlan would never know, how guilty the girl had felt all along. Although, at the time of the incident where Harlan's father was not he was still a child, but he was very understanding with the sense of loss that Harlan experienced.
However, Caca's reaction only pulled Maisara's sleeve and the girl asked, “Are you Mr. Harlan's wife?”
Maisara turned his head and he could only nod, admitting everything would feel lighter than having to hold a secret alone.
Secrets will never be secrets forever. It's just a matter of time. Moreover, he still had a chance to open it, before all the more runyam. However, the direction of time can never be imagined, he is able to reverse the fate of humans, even making all the impossible sometimes become real.
Seeing the nod of the head from Maisara, Caca came to a simple conclusion, instinctively children and his thinking style. He is very understanding of the situation, where someone lies because of something. If only Maisara had been honest back then, then it would not have been better than now! It was likely that the two of them were in trouble to the point of not daring to admit it.
If they are husband and wife, why is there not a single media that informs their marriage, does this mean Maisara is lying? They are outrageous, why is their status hidden? Or I am the luckiest person in the world, knowing this secret long before anyone else.
“Pak Harlan! I'm sorry, actually I told Maisara about our problem ..” Caca said in a low and trembling voice implying the typical fear of children.
Harlan approached the two women a step and said, “You said our problem? You're the source of the problem—“
Harlan pulls Caca's hand from behind Maisara's body. Instantly the woman blocked him, while holding Harlan's hand which gripped the teenager's wrist hard.
“Harlan! What are you going to do with him?” said.
“Do not interfere, I will not burden you with anything I will do to him!”
“You should have known that I hate seeing him! I tried to hold her all this time and I've asked her to leave, but it turns out that she's here just like you?”
“It wasn't his fault! Destiny brought him here!”
Harlan removed Maisara's handrails from her hand, at the same time she pulled Caca's hand and threw the girl's body to the side.
Buk up!
The sound of Caca's body falling down hard.
“Go you!” harlan said rudely.
Caca immediately cried as he pleased, while trying to get up from the floor, he fell down without being prevented. Maisara saw him pity because he could do nothing.
At that time, Maisara said in a defiant tone to her husband, “If indeed Caca's life can restore your father, why don't you just kill him?” while handing the scissors on the table to Harlan.
Harlan sees Maisara nanar, he does not believe in his wife's behavior as if mocking him, where there is a human life can return by killing someone.
“What are you kidding?” ask Harlan firmly.
Caca was still crying and now the conversation was only between Harlan and Maisara.
“I'm not kidding, I asked, if indeed by killing him can make your father come back, why don't you do it?”
“That's impossible!”
“Then there's no point in hating or hurting him, right?”
“So you defended him?”
“I'm not defending him, I'm just thinking logically about Caca's car accident, if he can choose maybe better to survive than to be saved by people, which brings death to the one who helps him ... The boy never asked your father to save him, you should not hate him.”
“Omong empty!”
“Not bullshit, but it actually contains a message that you should love him, just like your father helped him out of compassion, and not hate him. So, forgive yourself!”
“Ahk! Just the real one! I'm innocent, how should I forgive myself?”
“Your mistake is to hate someone you should love, blame someone else for your father's death, feel you're right, whereas Caca has absolutely no idea!”
Seeing Harlan not giving a response Maisara resumed his speech.
“Do you know? He was the one who liked my posters the most, he was a loyal reader and all the gifts and coins he donated to my comics, could keep me going as long as I took care of my father's company ... without the money from the comics, I can't feed my mother! You didn't even give me money even though we were married!”
“Sir Harlan, I never expected you to understand everything. I just wanted to apologize from you! Because of me you lost a father. If you can't forgive me, that's okay ... Maybe it's a mistake that I have to bear forever, if indeed you want me to leave again from here, fine! I'll move again south now!”
