On Bed Om Rudy

Secrets, untold story

For a moment Satria looked at Liany's paled face, “Iya, right, your Aunt Katrin is my real mother. I am the son of his first failed marriage, the woman who has left me with deep trauma and heartache.”

Liany said no more, she greeted Satria and hugged her tightly. It was unexpected if the dark story of Satria's childhood because of Aunt Katrin.

“Why did Myla not know you were her brother?” liany asked after letting go of her embrace, curiosity and sympathy mingled into one.

“He kept all his past secret including me, several times I challenged him to uncover who I really was but he didn't want to. To this day I still hate him, Liany.” Satria's expression is more likely to look sad than angry or vengeful as he says.

“Tante Katrin must have his own reasons, try to understand it,”

“No, Lia, you don't know anything about him, maybe he is indeed a relative of your mother but many things and secrets are hidden.” Satria breathed heavily. Liany rubbed Satria's shoulder repeatedly gently. He wanted to calm Satria's heart. The man took Liany's hand and kissed her fingertips.

“For so long I do not want to be tied to a serious relationship, I prefer one night stand rather than having to be with someone with a bound status. I'm not a freestyle follower, I'm just afraid of Lia, I'm afraid of being tied up and then being left behind. However, when you see you and Rangga arise my belief if you are different from the women who once filled my lonely nights.” Satria raised Liany's chin with her fingers. His gaze was sad expectantly at the woman in front of him.

“I will never leave you, no matter what your past, your present self and the future we do not know. I will always be there for you, Satria,” Liany said. Satria pulls Liany into her arms, feeling how lucky her life is now due to the presence of Liany and her son.

Om Rudy knocked slowly on his daughter's nursery, slowly he entered and saw Myla was asleep. Katrin just got home and they took turns to look after Myla. She was prepared to ask about Liany but she was still considering parting ways with Aunt Katrin.

Myla opened her eyes, her gaze met with Om Rudy who was waiting by her bedside.

“Do you feel better, son?” tanya Om Rudy was gentle but Myla turned her face and bit her lip. He still refused to meet his father.

“Papa knows Papa is wrong and Papa is sorry, Myla.” Um Rudy was trying to persuade his daughter.

“Papa is wrong because it has duaed your mama but try to understand a little, your mama has long ignored Papa, other Papa needs, your mama is too busy so forget about her obligations and—“

“And Liany who meets Papa's needs on Papa's bed?!” accuse Myla of being fierce.

“Liany is not what you think, she rejected Papa and chose to leave this house.”

“But Papa is still chasing him isn't he?!” Myla now turned around and looked at Om Rudy with anger.

“Papa apologize, Darling, Papa khilaf.” That's all Om Rudy can say to Myla, to make Liany's figure go from her heart is not that easy either.

“Papa will go temporarily until the situation calmer. Your mom agreed that Papa was staying in the apartment. Mama and Papa need space and time to clear up this problem.”

“Papa want to leave this family?!” myla was surprised.

“But why Papa should stay at the apartment all?” asked Myla with teary eyes.

“Because we do need space, dear, there is something my mother has kept secret and she chose to remain silent. At least Papa pleaded guilty to this Papa mistake but your mama did not, she chose to be silent even though Papa already had the proof.”

“What proof, Pa?” Whether this is the right time or not, they don't wait for him to recover first to unlock the secrets of each that make Myla realize the adult world is cruel.

“Papa has been following in the footsteps of your mother for the past three years, he has met several times with the same young man. However, Papa never asked, Papa waited for your mother to tell him because nothing changed from your mother except her busy work. Papa tries to think positively but eventually Papa gets tired and chooses to keep quiet. Myla, give us time to fix all this,” explained Om Rudy as he took Myla's hand and stroked her lovingly.

“You have disappointed Myla, Myla cape, Myla want to rest.” Myla pulls her hand and turns to look back at Om Rudy. Her tears flowed profusely but Myla cried in silence, without a sound, without a sob. His heart was completely wounded, papa and his mother were like two strangers and kept a big secret. Myla was very disappointed with this fact.

[I want to meet you, there's something important I want to talk about. At the restaurant's usual place at the same table, this afternoon.] Satria sent the message to Aunt Katrin. She wanted to talk about her marriage to Liany to her mother.

[Well, I'll wait there later this afternoon.] Aunt Katrin replied immediately, just this time Satria asked to meet for sure there is something that is very important.

Aunt Katrin looked at her phone screen, her memory returning to her quarrel with Om Rudy that day. Her husband apparently knew that during this time he had secretly been seeing Satria. So without feeling guilty Om Rudy reciprocated by liking other women and wanted to marry her. The woman sighed heavily, her dishonesty about her past now making a bad impact on herself. His head throbbed at the thought of all this, perhaps it was time he had to uncover the secret of his first marriage and Satria Abimana.

“Im sorry Mama .. Satria, Myla..” muttered Aunt Katrin with a witty look. Right now her shoulders were heavy, her heart was empty as her husband expressed his intention to split the bed temporarily. Rudy chose to live in his apartment temporarily.

Satria arrived early at the restaurant and awaited the arrival of Aunt Katrin. Time and time again glimpsed watches where time seemed to slow down for him. After almost half an hour of waiting for the woman to finally appear as well, a look of astonishment as she usually waited but Satria now first came and waited.

“You been a long time? I was stuck in traffic there was a diversion on the roundabout there.” Aunt Katrin sat down and took off her glasses. A waiter came to ask for an order, Aunt Katrin only asked for cold drinks that fit in the hot weather.

“What important things do you want to say?” aunt Katrin asked, as usual her eyes always sparkle if she talks to her son.

“I will get married in the near future, I think it is necessary to tell this because my future wife is asking because she says my family deserves to know.”

Aunt Katrin was surprised, her eyes were round and this news made her very happy.

“Who is your future wife?” asked Aunt Katrin enthusiastically.

“Liany, your nephew it.”

As if there was a blow hitting his heart this second shock made him momentarily stop breathing.
