Tonight is the time set by the Aiden family and the Saqila family. They'll have dinner together at Saqila's house. Yes, the house Aiden gave to Saqila as his gratitude for all this time he who accompanied Aiden in this marriage. Everyone had gathered at the dining table, just waiting for Papi and Papa Saqila who were still chatting in the living room.
Aiden and Ayra arrived a little late, they had just arrived at the courtyard of the house. Getting out of the car, Ayra hesitates a little to get into the house that was once the story of her life. This house is a witness where Ayra's life is depressed by circumstances. Staying one roof with Saqila, became the biggest obstacle in Ayra's life as long as she was still second to her husband.
"Let's go, honey, you have to meet Mama and Papa, they're good. You don't have to be so tense" Aiden embraced his wife's waist standing in front of the house they used to live in.
When entering this house, the shadows of the past immediately flashed in the memories of Ayra and Aiden. But the two try not to think too much about it. Let what has passed pass. What they need to see now is the future. Live happily and always together.
Aiden headed straight for the dining room, where all the family members had gathered. Alvino was also present. Aiden was delighted to see Saqila find her true love.
May you always be happy Sa, forgive me for not being the best husband for you. May we be happy with each other's choices.
Lie, if Aiden doesn't feel guilty for Saqila. Saqila was once his first wife. They marry for love, but fate turns everything into this. At the moment Aiden only hoped that Saqila would be able to accept this reality.
"Good night everyone, sorry we came late" Aiden immediately greeted everyone who was there. Aiden pulled a chair close to Mami for his wife. Then he sat down next to his wife.
"God. Just came to you, Aiden is this your wife?" Mama looked at Ayra with a smile. She is a warm and friendly mother. Actually it is almost the same with Saqila. It's just that Saqila is a little stubborn, downhill from her father.
Ayra smiled as she nodded awkwardly. His heart was so ungodly. Her heart was pounding, and Ayra felt ashamed that she was somehow the third person in Aiden and Saqila's household. But Mama Saqila instead welcomed him warmly and with sincerity. Ayra was getting bad.
They started this dinner with a little chat. However, there is something strange with Papa, since Ayra came she just kept quiet. Papa continued to stare at Ayra fixedly. Ayra became nervous and felt uneasy as Papa continued to pay attention to her.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to talk. However, again Ayra felt uncomfortable with Papa's gaze on her. He's getting his body closer to Aiden.
Is Madame Saqila's father angry with me?
"How old are you, son?" Ask Mama
Ayra turned her head and smiled, she stroked her big belly. "It's been almost 8 months Madam"
"Well, call her that, just call Mama. We are one family"
Ayra smiled and nodded. Aiden who was sitting next to him immediately stroked Ayra's head, he knew that his wife was nervous at the moment.
"Sorry, Ay..Ayra yeah.." Papa, who had been silent since then, now began to open his voice. "...Where's Mom? Emm.. I mean, what's your mother's name?"
Everyone immediately looked confusedly at Papa, not only Ayra who was confused by the question. But Ayra kept trying to smile and answer Papa's question just now.
"My mother's name is Sumiati. He died a month ago"
Degs..
"Sum..Sumiati?"
"Then, where's your dad?" Ask Papa again, this time his voice gets louder.
"Apaan the Pa, ask questions like that to Ayra" said Mama who was confused by Papa's attitude this time.
Ayra lowered her head, she shook her head slowly because she did not know who and where her father had been all this time. Her face does not know. "I don't know where my father is"
Degs...
Papa's face grew increasingly pias, he stood up and suddenly just kneeled in front of Ayra making the girl surprised. Papa grabs Ayra's hand, kissing her with tears streaming down the girl's hand. Of course, everyone was more confused and surprised by what Papa did. Aiden already wanted to get angry because Papa dared to kiss his wife's hand. But when he heard the sound of a small sobbing from Papa, he became confused.
"I'm sorry Papa Nak, Papa's wrong"
Ayra still did not understand and was too confused by what Papa said just now. "I'm sorry, what does that mean? I really don't understand"
Papa looked up and looked at Ayra with teary eyes. "Ayra, I'm your father"
Degs..
Ayra's body trembled, she pulled her hand that was in Papa's grasp. Ayra retreated her seat, she was still unsure of Papa's words. But somehow tears just flowed down her cheeks.
"Pa, what does that mean?" Saqila was also surprised to hear what Papa said. During this time his family was very harmonious, Saqila never heard Papa cheating or anything. And why is it that Papa suddenly says he's Ayra's father. Since when? Saqila had never heard if she had lost a sister all this time.
Ayra hugged her husband, she did not want to look at Papa. His heart still rejected what Papa said just now. Ayra doesn't believe in that. He never expected to meet his father. Ayra felt fine if she just lived alone with her mother.
"I'm sorry Papa Nak, Papa has betrayed your Mama. At that time, an innocent girl from the village named Sumiati came to our house to become a household assistant. Because your mother is always busy with her work and rarely has time with Papa. In the end Papa is more often at home with Sumi, he is even the one who always prepares all the needs of Papa..."
"..And in the end Papa falls in love with her, and the forbidden relationship just happens. Papa knows if she's pregnant, but Papa can't find her anywhere. Until recently Papa saw how the face of Ayra was very similar to him when young"
Saqila shook her head softly with tears already flowing profusely. Never thought if his father who had always been a perfect figure in his life, could betray his mother.
"Crazy.. It's crazy, Papa betrayed Mama just for the sake of a maid. Does Mama know about this?"
Mama just kept quiet with her head down, Saqila already knew the answer without having to Mama make a sound. "You're all crazy. For decades I've only known that I had a sister. You're selfish.."
Saqila left with heightened emotions. Alvino soon followed his girlfriend. Ayra was still in her husband's arms. He tried to calm his heart. Especially after he heard all of Papa's stories.
