Mega Between Blue And Orange: Avisa's Beer!
BA 1
In Avisa's reading room, Arif and Blue read a book while lying down. They have been there more often since Mega's departure.
“You guys why are you here?”, asked Avisa annoyed.
“Enak is here. Can tell you to make a drink, can read a book for free, can sleep comfortably as well.”, replied Arif.
Avisa gave a punch signal to Arif.
“Lu medical school why so many free try?”
“Mumpung no time, Sa. Ntar if I am busy too you will miss.”, said Arif Cengengesan.
“Hih!”
“Lu so take S2 where?”, ask Blue on Arif.
“Mmm... UGM (University of Gadjah Mada). You went to ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology)?”
“Hm.”
“Lu, Sa?”
“Gue will return to the UK, as ordered by Ted.”
Blue lost focus on his book.
“Udah can not be in nego again huh?”, asked Arif.
“If I were here, mom would never be happy.”

A few days ago, Avisa went to the supermarket to buy groceries. Since Arif and Blue often went to the reading room, Avisa slowly learned to cook and do other housewives' work. When he was about to take vegetables, Avisa met someone who had been in his car.
“If you want a fresh one, this one is it.”, said one middle-aged woman pointing to another vegetable.
“Oh, thanks.”, said Avisa back to head.
Avisa sculpted for a moment.
“How are you mama's daughter?”, asked Dila smiling.
For the first time Avisa shed tears that have been decades in his custody. Dila hugged her daughter tightly. After that they went to the beverage stand chair in the corner of the supermarket to chat.
Avisa finally knew how her mother was. How the pain of living separated from his two children. How a man comes in his downturn. How her tears endlessly fall every day because she misses her two children who are out of nowhere.
“Mama just got married again a few days ago. Forgive mama son, mama shouldn't be happy alone.”
“Ma..”
Avisa held her mother's hand gently.
“Mama deserves to be happy. Avi and brother are fine. Mama don't worry anymore, huh?”, he continued.
“Now where do you live? Stay with mommy huh son?”
Avisa. He wanted to agree to his mother's invitation that same moment but he did not want Ted to destroy his mother's life again.
“Let's yes ma. Later, when Avi and brother can really escape from papa.”, replied Avisa smiling gently.
“Im sorry mom son.”
Dila cried, disappointed with her self who did not have the mastery to embrace her children back.
That day became their first meeting after so long but also the last day Dila could see her daughter again in person.

A few months passed. Blue, Arif and Avisa completed the script smoothly. Today is graduation day for the three of them. Parents came to attend the graduation ceremony of their children, including Mr and Ms. Kades. Ted and his small family were present unexpectedly, as well as Orange and Alexa.
Outside the room finished graduation.
“Why are you here?”, asked Avisa upset.
“Princess papa graduation, of course papa is here.”
Avisa was very upset by their presence. Ted suddenly walked away. Avisa sees him walking towards Blue and his family, making Avisa run after him as fast as lightning.
“Pa!”, cried Avisa.
“Ya darling?”
“Sorry mom.”
“Include, I'm Ted Biantara. Her dad's Avisa.”
Ted stuck out a hand to shake which was then responded by the father and mother of the kades.
“It looks like my son is afraid that I am doing his girlfriend sir, bu.”
Avisa and Blue are wide.
“Loh, already dating? Kok father same mother not told.”, protest father.
“Papa!”, snapped Avisa who was getting annoyed.
“Oh doesn't seem to have been sir.”, Ted said.
The three old men laughed. Arif laughed awkwardly as he felt that something bad was coming after this.
“I just want to introduce Blue to one of the people I respect. He said he would love to meet Blue.”, said Ted.
“Oh yes? Good then. You can know successful people, son", said the father amazed.
Blue is silent. He knew very well how this Ted separated Orange and Mega. Is it his turn now and Avisa, he thought.
“For a while yes, I contact the person first. He said it had arrived in front.”, said Ted.
“Oh well sir, please.”, said the father.
Ted turned around and contacted the person he meant. The person he was waiting for came too. A man who was roughly in his 70s with a nearly middle-aged man who looked dashing and dignified. My mom and dad were surprised at him.
“How are you kades sir, bu kades?”, asked the man.
“Good sir.”, replied the father and mother bowing their heads.
Blue, Avisa and Arif feel strange with the girly father and mother of kades. The 80s man suddenly stuck his hand out at Blue without saying anything. Blue replied to him while introducing himself.
“Blue.”
“Complete name?”
“Shouldn't the one who asked for a handshake should introduce themselves first?”, asked Blue.
The man laughed.
“Alright then. Hendra Darmawan.”
“Krisna Mahardika Darmawan.”, said the middle-aged man next door.
“So? What's your full name?”, asked Hendra sir.
“Bobby.. Rudy..”
“Darmawan.”, said Ted.
Blue is getting confused.
“Greetings, grandson.”, said Mr. Hendra.
Blue, Avisa and Arif were shocked to hear it. While the father and mother of kades began to worry because of this situation. In the distance only orange just watch.
(here they speak English that the author has translated)
“You okay?”, asked Alexa.
“Yes. I'm fine.”
Blue's encounter with her father and grandfather was brief because she was uncomfortable with their presence. He immediately decided to take his father, mother and Arif home.
***
In the living room of the house of the kades, all family members gather.
“What is this actually bu, sir?”, ask Blue.
With a heavy heart, they tell the truth. That Blue is not a child who was thrown away but was deliberately asked by them on several conditions.
Blue is the extramarital child of Krishna and Ajeng who is currently his wife. They had Blue while still dating. Actually Mr. Hendra was willing to cover up the birth of Blue and marry them afterwards but because Krishna and Ajeng still wanted to continue their education, they refused the marriage.
While the father and mother used to be the driver and caregiver at the residence of Mr. Hendra. You have worked there since you were young and then invited your mother to work there after they got married. The 16-year-old mother was assigned to take care of 10-year-old Krisna.
