Not an Ex yet

23. THE FORCED HONESTY

Andira who just got off his bike looked at Indi who was confused. Grasping both of Indi's shoulders and looking into his eyes. Dancing deep breaths before saying a word that might make Indi refuse his request.

“It seems, now is the right time for an honest dec” Andira said as she continued to stare at Indi. He uttered his words with a very careful heart. I hope his sister can work together.

“Honesty about what kak?” Indi who still did not understand the intent of the words said her brother could not hide his curiosity. Andira's face that looks very serious increasingly makes Indi think harder. Trying to guess the direction of the conversation that Andira wanted.

“Honesty about you dek” Andira again said and stick with the serious mode.

“Which honesty? Indi does not understand brother. What is it exactly?” Indi still did not understand her brother's wishes.

Not yet had Andira or Indi issued a word he said, arriving at the door of Mama Amrita's room opened slowly. Stand Papa Bagas who even looks shocked by the presence of his children who are in front of the door of his room.

Papa Bagas exhales deeply. He lowered both shoulders and shook his head slightly. It was as if throwing away his anger and showing disappointment.

Mama Amrita stepped behind her husband and immediately embraced Indi. His two hands held Indi in his arms, as if they had only met after so many years.

Papa Bagas who saw the scene, went forward and hugged his wife and child and pulled Andira's hand to join.

Families that love each other. That is what will be seen, if at this time there are those who deliberately or accidentally see their togetherness.

“Sorry mom yes nak” Amrita still hugs her daughter who is still confused by the atmosphere of haru arriving.

While Papa Bagas and Andira have escaped from the mass embrace. Both of them wiped away the tears that were also flowing without a plan. Let's say they are both men, but they still can't help themselves when they find out what Indi has experienced.

Amrita gradually began to loosen her embrace. Wiping away the tears that would not stop with one hand. Cupped his hands to Indi's cheeks. Now Indi can see his mother's eyes are red and slightly swollen.

I don't know how many tears my mother shed. Indi's heart immediately felt pain. Indi rarely even saw her mother cry before.

His mother who apologized for the mistake that Indi did not know what the reason was, kept him silent without a word. Look at the loved ones in front of him one by one. Starting from his mother who still continues to issue clear details, then his father who also looks sad, and finally his brother.

Indi began to look down and his eyes glazed. Indi felt guilty for making all members of his family sad because of him. Be the source of the grief of the people he loves so much.

“Pardon Indi” only that that comes out of Indi's mouth. His throat was choked and unable to get out all the words he had inside his head.

Papa Bagas brought his wife and children to sit down, after feeling uncomfortable because of the length of standing. Positioning Indi and Andira sitting right in front of him and his beloved wife.

“Papa and mama are sorry, if all this time we have not given you enough affection. We pay less attention to you, until you have to experience all of this. My mom and dad were the last people to know about your problems. Again papa apologizes”

Papa Bagas back down. Unable to stare at Indi's perfectly innocent eyes. Didn't expect that his girl who looked so fragile could experience things completely far from the limit of her shadow.

Instead of showing his sadness and pain, his son continued to show his face without burden. Indi hid all his broken feelings very well. With the intention of not wanting to make both his parents worry about him.

Papa Bagas and Mama Amrita really feel to be parents who are very failed. Can't be a backstop when your child needs them. Both children love both parents too much, until they can swallow all their own problems.

“This is what we both feared mah. Mom and dad's tears. Unseemly tears flow out.” Andira looked at Indi who seemed to be starting to understand where the conversation was going.

Indi lowered his head and was greeted by a hug from Andira. Indi grew sobbing and could not say what. Mama Amrita who also came back crying got a hug from her husband.

Earlier…

In the morning, as the two children left for school and college, Amrita returned to Rosita's house. Help Rosita's mother to clean up all the kitchen utensils that are still messy in her kitchen after last night's party.

“You still think of Indi?” suddenly, Rosita's voice came from inside the room. Of course Amrita didn't accidentally steal the listen.

“Now I have become your wife, but you even think of another woman” Rosita began to raise her voice, but no answer sentence was heard.

“What is this ? Why is the name Indi called.” Amrita began to think and prejudiced badly

The door leaf suddenly opened, displaying Rosita with her angry look. Amrita who was still glued to stand in front of the door was of course shocked in shock.

Sigit, who also saw Amrita, rose from his seat on the edge of the bed with a look of surprise and guilt.

“What is this? Why do you call my son Indi?” Amrita who could not help her curiosity finally asked.

Not wanting this conversation to be heard by others and causing prejudice, Sigit gently pulled Amrita's hand and brought her into the room. Luckily, no one else saw Amrita in Rosita's room.

Now sit Sigit and Rosita in front of Amrita who still put on a curious face.

“Previous, Sigit wanted to apologize mah.”

Sigit began this conversation by saying an apology that he had saved. Guilt that must be said and ask forgiveness for the treatment that has already hurt the child of the woman in front of him.

The woman he has also considered as a mother, with her closeness with Andira and Indi so far. Sigit lowered his gaze and did not dare with Amrita's gaze being so peeking. As if wanting to stab him with just that glint of light from his eyes.

Hurt Indi's heart with betrayal, destroying his friendship with Andira by being brengs*k and automatically hurting both parents.

“I'm really sorry mah”
