PEARL & CRYSTAL

ONE PERSON TWO PERSONALITIES

The door to Tirta's apartment is open, the password for Crystal's birthday. Kris's own smiling face looked at her lover's face.

"Why are you smiling?"

"What is your love Tirta?" Kris stepped inside, and stopped looking at the contents of the apartment.

Kris mouth gaping, luxury apartment owned by Tirta is very clean, neat and all the goods are arranged very neatly and are in an interesting place.

Crystal eyes flickered, between awe and disbelief if a man like Tirta had his excellent habits.

The guest table is also clean shiny, many books are arranged on the shelf. The glass is also clean without dust stains.

Kris' hand held the doorknob, Tirta's room was no less neat. The first time for Kris to see a man's residence is unusually neat and clean.

All clothes, watches, shoes, suits and other items were in the same place. There are no items on the floor.

"Kristal, what do you want to drink?" Tirta took the glass, wiped it first and poured the juice.

Kris who saw it, like the wrong entry into the house of people. Because outside the house Tirta looks very mixed.

"Why are you a Crystal? don't get into a trance here." Tirta's small laughter rang out, touching Kris's still-silent nose.

Slowly Kris opened the fridge, and in it was full of healthy food as well as all kinds of vegetables, fruit was in it.

"In and out of the house you're a different person." Kris sat next to Tirta who was reading a book.

At a glance Tirta looked at Crystal, directly focusing back towards her book. Silence Kris who was busy himself checking around the apartment.

Tirta's hand was instantly pulled, Kris went into the arms of looking at the book that Tirta had read. Kris' eyes immediately hurt to see the writing using a foreign language.

"What book is this?"

"Would you like to eat now, or later when you meet Mami Papi?" Book immediately Tirta closed, stepping onto the bookshelf reassembling.

"Are you like this?" Kris folded his hands on his chest.

Tirta just laughed, since the age of twelve Tirta had lived alone. He doesn't know who his father is, and rarely meets his mother.

Tirta's job is just learning, tidying up his room until he repeatedly changes the model of the room.

The apartment that Tirta lived in was her only precious memory, as she bought it without Cherly's knowledge.

All the work has been tried, both menial and office work.

"Outside I am the cheerful Tirta, but at home I am only a quiet young man." Tirta's breath was heard, closing her eyes in the fresh air of her apartment.

No words came out of Kris' mouth, nor did she know that Tirta was someone who was very cold at home.

Crystal went into the arms, smelling a glimpse of Tirta's cheek. Apologizing because he didn't know her well.

"Kris, you're the only one I've been chasing. I usually just shut up no matter what." Tirta tightened her embrace.

The laughing Crystal sound rang out, comforting Tirta who was busy cooking. Without helping anything, Kris just encouraged the fast food.

The first time Tirta heard in his house the noise of commotion, there was only one Kris who was excited. Tirta's dream house is getting happier when she has her baby.

"Open your mouth." Tirta's hand was feeding something to Kris.

Kris' eyes are round, jumping around while spinning giving two thumbs up for Tirta's amazingly delicious cuisine.

Tirta laughed, rubbing Kris's dirty lips of food. Seeing Kris eat it makes Tirta happy.

"It's time Kris got ready to meet Mami Papi."

"Kris, maybe the results don't match our expectations." Tirta's head bowed, putting down his tablespoon.

Crystal hand grips tightly, fusing the fingers of the two. Kris did not care what the result was, because their goal was good by asking for blessing.

As a child, it is an obligation to please his parents, and ask for permission and blessing must still be done even get rejection.

Kristal stepped into the room, changed her clothes, put on a little makeup that was already very beautiful.

The night that may be a determinant of the relationship between child and mother, Kris does not show her usual self.

The Crystal Shirt was simple, but very beautiful on her body. Using ordinary high heels, unbranded bags.

Crystal hair is also in pigtails, because if Cherly grabbed her hair will be punctured by a small needle that Kris put on her head.

Tirta had also been wearing neat clothes, smiling to see Kris who was wearing ordinary clothes, but still exuded extraordinary beauty.

"Let's go baby, bismillah may our good intentions be accepted." Tirta embraced Kris who just nodded her head.

The car that Tirta had prepared had already driven towards the restaurant that he had promised Papinya, Tirta's first request, for her Mammya to come too.

Arriving at the restaurant, Tirta immediately entered the room that was booked privately. Nearly two hours Kris and Tirta waited, but none of them showed up.

Kris looked at her face in the glass, her lipstick had faded. But Cherly's nose hasn't appeared yet.

"Darling, we better get home. Mommy's not coming." Tirta was still trying to show a smile.

The door of the room opened, Kris shouted in shock. Papi Han came with an angry look. His eyes looked towards Kris who was immediately standing up wanting to kiss the hand.

Crystal's hand was instantly brushed aside, the first remark that came out of the middle-aged man's mouth before him was an insult.

Kristal is just a cheap woman, she even got pregnant out of wedlock. From the beginning, the Han family knew that Kris married Alhan only for luxury.

"It's great that you, even having a twin brother to control Han, are now teasing Tirta as well."

"What does Papi mean? never insult the crystal." Tirta's voice rose, pushing her Papi.

"Aware of Tirta, she's just a cheap woman who sleeps with a lot of men."

Crystal slap landed, he did not accept insulted. It was enough that Kris was silent when he was hit, now she was not a stupid woman crying in fear.

"Don't forget if you are also trash, still remember the violence you did against me and Mother. Kris didn't forget it one bit, but for Han's sake. Crystal pretends to forget."

Cherly was shocked to hear Crystal's anger, she vividly recalled the trauma that had lingered on her head. Until whenever Kris will not forgive, unless Mother Han can live again.

"Don't correct my bad, but be aware of how bad a father and husband are at violence. Uncle not only annoys the heart of Brother Han, Mother, but Kris as well." Kris's punch was strong on his chest that felt tight.

A powerful punch directed at Kris, Tirta immediately hugged tightly. The slap landed on Cherly's face until it was knocked unconscious.
