MARRYING OLD GRANDPA

A STORY

PRANGS

The sound of falling objects made Orange surprised. He went from the bed to the bathroom, the sky was inside a few minutes ago. He knocked on the door anxiously, “Mas, are you okay?” ask Jingga while continuing to knock on the door.

No answer from the husband makes Jingga more anxious, “Mas, do not make me anxious, did something happen? Please answer me mas.”

“I'm fine,” say Sky with a slightly heavy voice.

Orange berbacfas relieved, finally the man replied. But what did that thing fall on? She decided to sit on the sofa, waiting for her husband to come out and ask him directly. Since coming home from work, Sky did not talk much, even just smiled thinly when he teased her.

If usually the Sky will respond if the Orange teases him by shrinking the man's lips, this time the Sky only smiled thinly. Oranges consider it just a coincidence because maybe the sky is very tired. Until the man entered the bathroom there was no conversation between them.

In the bathroom..

The sky rubbed his face in a huff, his conversation with the in-laws kept ringing in his ears. Making his head feel like exploding withstanding the worry that continues to suppress his feelings.

FLASHBACKS

“Dad, did you know anything about Handoko?” Ask Sky again when Hardi just kept quiet.

“Nak, I don't think you need to find out about Handoko anymore,” said Hardi. Seemed anxiety on the look on his face, of course it made the sky curious. And yes, the sky will not just give up.

“Give me a strong reason why dad asked me to stop finding out about Handoko?”

Hardi was speechless, confused as to what reason to say.

“Please don't hide anything from me dad, I know I'm very tired. Warring with the trauma of the past, hiding with a false identity to protect myself and finding out about the deaths of my parents, all of that drove me crazy. And now, will you stop me from finding out the truth I've been searching for so hard?” The sky looked at Hardi with a sad look, a gaze that also made Hardi sick.

Alex also felt the same pain, although the Master was sometimes annoying, but for him the sky was everything after the mother and her sisters.

“I beg father..” pinta Langit again.

Hardi sighed furiously, he then said, “But son, what I'm going to say is probably going to hurt you,”.

“From a long time ago I was already a sickly father. My mind hurts, my mind hurts, I live in a fragile body but pretend to be strong. It's okay if I get sick again, maybe I'm still strong to get hurt again,” said Sky.

“Alright, dad will tell you everything. But please don't get hurt again. Think of this as just a story in the past that will only be a memory, forever will only be a memory. Don't make this story a bully of your life now and in the future, let alone a barrier to your happiness.”.

Sky nods, “If I could, I would do that.”

“Senja, your mama and Handoko have a special relationship. Long before your mother married your father. And with great heart Mr. Banyu accepts Mrs Twilight, Mr. Banyu loves your mama very much. They live happily even though Handoko continues to be a shadow of their relationship. But Mr. Banyu so understood the position of Mrs Twilight, he always allowed if Handoko wanted to meet your mama and.”

The sky frowned, staring at Hardi with a questioning gaze, “And what father?”

“And you,” said Hardi in a soft voice.

“Because, since you are his son son son son son.” replied Hardi with quivering lips.

The sky squeezed his chest tight, the statement from his father-in-law made him very surprised. He denies, his heart tries to deny, his head shakes a few times, “No, it can't be dad. Dad lied, I'm Banyu Blue's son, not that man. Don't lie to me father,” said the Sky with trembling lips.

Hearing that reality his heart felt in the wrath of a giant hand that squeezed out strongly and made his heart shatter formless. What reality is this? Why it sounds so painful, “No way.” Clean Sky. Without feeling her tears just drip. The sky was a fragile man who pretended to be strong.

“Dad told you, son, that what I'm about to tell you is going to hurt you. Forgive father.”

Not only was the sky shocked, but Alex was too. The man ventured to rub the Master's shoulder, seeing the sky was devastated making him feel the same pain.

It is fitting that Handoko often met Dusk behind Banyu, it turns out that the meeting was on Banyu's permission. How big Banyu Blue heart, let the woman he loves meet other men. Maybe at that time the position of Banyu was also wrong, because there was a Sky in the middle of Dusk and Handoko. Banyu cannot forbid a father to meet his son even though the meeting was conducted secretly from Heaven.

Handoko will only see the Sky from a distance, it is one of the requests from Dusk in order to keep the feelings of Banyu who loves the Sky. Dusk did not want to hurt Banyu more by introducing Handoko as the father of Sky. Let Heaven only accept and know that the Blue Banyu is his papa, not Handoko.

Whether it hurts how Banyu feels at that time, the man willingly accepts Dusk with all the stories of the woman's past. Banyu even admitted to the family of the Twilight that he is the biological father of Sky, Banyu responsible by marrying Dusk.

Because at that time it was impossible for Handoko to marry Dusk who was pregnant with her child, the fact is that Handoko already has a wife. Somehow at first, why Dusk and Handoko were involved in a forbidden relationship until Dusk became pregnant.

And Banyu came as a helper, loving Dusk with sincerity and loving the Sky like loving his own son.

“Nak, you have promised not to get hurt.” Oiled Hardi,

The sky nodded then. He tried to hide the clear water droplets that escaped from the end of his eyes. This reality was too shocking for him, smashing his confidence, crushing his mentality, crushing his pride as the son of the Blue Banyu. It turned out that he was just a child who was present outside of the marriage.

“There's one more thing you should know about your papa,” said Hardi.

The sky wiped his tears, sat straight up staring at his father-in-law, “Tell me everything father, please no more that I cover. So that I only feel this pain once, at once,” said Sky.

“Then, before Mr. Banyu married the mistress of Dusk, he had a wife. But unfortunately his wife betrayed him until they finally separated. Lady Dusk and you present as medicine for Mr. Banyu, a cure for a heart-crash caused by the betrayal of his ex-wife. From the wedding of Mr. Banyu and his ex-wife, Mr. Banyu has a daughter in hiding because his ex-wife is trying to reclaim him.” Obviously Hardi, he was silent for a moment, scraping the story of his master's past was also the same as scraping through his life.

“Then where is papa's daughter, dad?” ask Sky. At least, he has a new fact that will strengthen him a little, he has a little sister.

“She is near you son,” said Hardi.

Sky frowned, “Near me?”

Hardi nodded, “Jingga, your wife. She is the daughter of Mr. Banyu and Mrs Violet.”

FLASHBACK END

Two new facts that made Sky shaken made the man reluctant to do anything. Reluctant to talk or even smile, which is why he does not behave normally with his wife. Although they had no blood relation, but somehow it felt strange, Heaven did not know what to do.
