Bitter Facts

Inside the mosque the three of them sat facing each other but a little distance away from each other. The faces of Johan and Sigit were equally full of bruises

" Bastard bastard" Gerrutu Sigit loudly in order to be heard by Johan.

"Why do you call my son Johan a bastard?what's her fault?" ask papa Johan not accept.

" Because of her my family is falling apart, my sister's future is lost."

Johan did not understand Sigit's words. " What do you mean, I don't understand." - Tanua Johan

" You're pretending to be stupid."

" Explain let us understand why you're this angry?" papa Johan was curious

" Have you forgotten about Laras?" asked Sigit cynically.

" Barrels." Johan called the name Laras, lying if you say Johan forgot the Laras but Laras is just someone who had been in his heart before, not now because now he has Rossa.

" Yes, Laras. Because you're my brother suffering and his future is ruined?"

" I don't understand what you're saying Sigit."

" Tell me what Johan did to make your sister ruined?

" You impregnated Laras and then made a promise to return but you never returned, leaving him" Sigit replied briefly but with a tone of emotion.

"WHAT?? BARREL PREGNANT MY SON??" Johan was surprised.

" Don't pretend to be a stupid bastard"

" I really haven't been able to catch what you said Sigit." Johan was silent and then he tried to think something.

" Yes! I remember me and Laras did do it because we were solemn at that time."

" And because of your caliph you will not take responsibility!!" Snap cigars.

" It seems you misunderstood Sigit, isn't Laras married." Johan wonder

Sigit began to tell all the events that Laras experienced since Laras left Johan and then pregnant, until tortured by Warsito and his mother fell ill and died. Sigit also told how bitter life Laras in raising his son alone but he still tried strong and steadfast.

Johan heard the story of Laras who was very sad that was shaking all over the body, his body was hot cold to imagine what was experienced by Laras, it was terrible.

Papa Johanpun helped shed tears to hear the story of Laras. " How is Laras currently?" Ask papa Johan.

" Laras lived his life as a teacher and raised his son."

"Nrank. . . I really don't know if Laras is pregnant with my son. At that time I actually invited my parents here to marry Laras, but when we got here Laras was having his wedding."

" I was disappointed at that time, I had kept my promise but Laras instead chose to marry the rich man who was here."

"Because you didn't come and say without news" Sigit snapped

" I sent a letter back then" Kilah Johan

" Johan was right, my wife and I did come here to ask for Laras but we came back empty-handed" explained papa Johan

" And you're happy Johan, my sister is suffering."

"I really didn't know Sigit, I thought that after receiving my letter Laras would wait for me but when I came back he was too late to be married to someone else, I was devastated."

" Baras never once received your letter."

"I sent him a letter waiting for me."

" So all this time we've misunderstood you Johan, I really think you're an asshole."

" And I also hate Laras because he has hurt me."

" Take us to Laras nak Sigit, I want to meet that woman?" Papa Johan.

Now the misunderstanding between Sigit and Johan is over and Sigit has understood what happened between Johan and Laras.

" Laras will be here soon."

" Have you told him that we're here?" Said Johan with teary eyes.

" No, why would I open up such a horrible past. I just want to make a calculation with you."

" I told you, I'm not who you think I am. All of this is just a fatal misunderstanding."

"You guys should hide first, I don't want Laras to be shocked and surprised to see what else Johan is."

"All right"

Johan and his papa got back in the car, followed by Sigit of course. They waited for Saras' arrival because it was late afternoon when Laras taught the children to teach.

Not long ago seen a simple woman figure by holding a boy and also a girl who is none other than Chadi and Sasi.

" Abaras, she hasn't changed at all still looks sweet" Johan said.

" Did she give birth to twins?" ask papa Johan.

" No, that woman is my son, and that man is the son of Baras."

Johan immediately turned his gaze to the figure of the boy who was with Laras.

A tall boy with white skin and also an adult face at his age now. "My son" Heeled.

Joha opened the door of the car to get out but was arrested by Sigit. " Don't go near them now." Johan undoes his intention and again closes the door of his car that just opened a little.

" Mother has a nice car." Say Sasi to Laras while pointing at the car.

"Don't just point Sasi, later if there is a person in the car how?" reprimand Chadi firmly.

Step Laras and the children have entered the courtyard of the mosque.

Suddenly. . .

"Wait!!!"
