PEARL & CRYSTAL

FEAR OF REJECTION

The face of Ilham tangent saw two children fighting just because the artist, the author, the author to scream yelling.

No one wanted to budge, Muti and Kris forgot that they were listening to the explanation of Inspiration.

"Get out!" Kris throws Muti with neatly arranged fruits beside him.

"Huh, it's not okay." Muti avoided throwing the crystal.

"Basar kak Muti stupid, already Kris explained the author of the story is the same as the author of the story, no relation to the artist." Kris glared, still pelting Muti.

"You fool, the artist can write too. He can also make up stories and he's also the one playing the part." Muti still thinks he is right.

The debate is not over, the two immediately walked everywhere, everything was revealed.

"Wait, brother Muti said what just now? our shares are returned to Daddy?" Kris immediately wanted to stand up, taking the infusion.

Muti immediately silently shook his head, he did not understand anything about stocks. Crystal's already deaf.

Inspiration was still silent, looking at her two grown, but still childish, daughters. One by one the fruits of Inspiration collect into fruit beds, immediately prepare water to wash them.

Muti and Kris were silent, seeing the doctor of Insham compose the fruit and clean up the scars of the two quarrels.

"Done arguing? you two are you like this often?" Doctor Ilham's smile is visible.

Muti immediately sat down, kicking the remaining apple one towards Ilham who was still busy tidying up the fruit. The smile of Inspiration is seen immediately taking an apple and washing it clean.

Crystal's gaze looked at the gentle man beside her bed, visible from the still very burly hands.

"Why did the doctor come back here?" Kris turned his face away.

"Papa died two months ago, and Mother asked to stay here and settle down."

"Why aren't you married?" Muti raised his tone.

Inspiration immediately saw Muti, and looked at Crystal who had the same face and had a different attitude. From the gaze of the eyes of Inspiration can see if Kris is a selfish child, smart self-control, and authoritative way of speaking.

While Pearl, his way of speaking is spontaneous, his eyes look shady and soothing. Behind her harsh attitude, Muti is a loving woman.

"Why aren't doctors married?" Kris repeated Muti's words.

"I can't fall in love, it's still hurt."

"I asked unanswered, but Kris was immediately answered. You're weird." Muti's eyes glare cynically, turning away his dislike face.

"I'm sorry Pearl, you're actually a kind and loving woman. Your eyes show you how good you are."

"Right, Kris felt it too. The doctor should know, Muti's brother was very naughty since childhood, he was also crybaby and liked to cry, always showing a strong person, but always crying in a corner." Crystal laughed at the annoyed face of her brother.

"You are also good Crystal, learn to forgive yourself and accept your shortcomings, do not be afraid of falling." Doctor Ilham knew, Kris kept a lot of pain alone, and it was time he shared.

Pearl's eyes closed, her mouth still chewing on the apple that Crystal threw. Muti had many questions, but he could not blame the doctor of Inspiration either.

True not what happened, he and Crystal had been born and grown up, there was no point in him harboring anger anymore.

"How old is the doctor now?" Muti made his eyes.

Kristal looked directly at the Ilham doctor who checked the condition of Crystal, a smile visible from the handsome face that was still maintained.

"I am old, and this year I am forty-five."

"Four five, but still handsome and well-groomed. Money can change everything, in the village where Muti lives four-five has five grandchildren and his face is wrinkled, his wife is three. She also wanted to marry Muti to be the fourth wife, so Muti went from there." Muti's hand closed his mouth, if it had been raving always out of control.

"Sister Muti never told you?" Crystal immediately laughed funny.

"In the most beautiful village of Muti, my grandmother always forbade me to bathe in the river, for fear of anyone peeping. Muti's face was intentionally made ugly, because many people came to propose."

Kris's face was immediately shocked, if Han knew it must be very jealous. Kris has also been unaware that a woman as beautiful as Muti is impossible without a secret admirer.

A person who lives in a remote place, usually married young from the age of adolescence rarely can be above twenty years.

Crystal and Pearl immediately laughed, Muti's story about the old men made both laugh funny and silly.

The laughter of Muti and Kris instantly stopped, Doctor Ilham shed his tears looking at the face of Muti who lived in a secluded place.

Muti's story is not funny to Ilham, but it is very painful to hear.

"Why crying?" Muti was confused looking at Kris.

"How long have you lived in the village? who are you there? means you've been separated all this time?" The many questions asked left Muti silent.

Finally the Crystals who explained their condition since childhood, then separated for almost twenty years, and reunited in a confused state.

"We both had a hard time, but after meeting whatever the problem was we kept smiling. There's a lot we missed." Kris stretched out his hand asking for the Pearl to come closer.

Both hugged, feeling happy because they were still given the opportunity to improve themselves and fix things.

"Della did this to you?" Inspiration gets hurt more and more seeing the smile of the twins.

"We're fine now, no problem is feared as long as we're together." Muti hugged Kris very tightly, kissing her cheek.

Both of Ilham's hands immediately embraced Muti and Kris affectionately, tears of Inspiration dripping in Muti's hands.

A soft voice sounded apologetic, Ilham's guilt was enormous after knowing his two children were suffering so much.

"I'm sorry."

"Muti and Kris are sorry, we know Doctor Ilham is not wrong. Forgive us for forcing us to be born when we are unwanted." Muti showed a smile.

"If I had known you guys were growing up, I wouldn't have gone and given up responsibility. Whatever happens, I'll raise you." The voice of Inspiration spoke in a dashed manner because his chest was very tight.

Crystal's hands rubbed the tears flowing from her cheeks, asking to stop crying because they were now grown up. Whatever has happened in the past has become destiny.

Disappointed, angry, sad must be Kris and Muti feel, but there are things they cannot coerce and let the past behind.

"Muti and Kris were afraid, we were both scared when we found out who the real father was, because we were afraid of being rejected and not being recognized." Muti wiped his tears.

Crystal nodded her head, the fear of not being recognized making the two choose to stay away from the many injured.
