Chapter 21 - Confession

"Waalaikum... Dek Pras," said Mrs. Lina with a bad feeling.

Arjuna who was staring at the photo of Bening, immediately turned his body when he heard the voice of a man who he believed was Father Bening.

And he was immediately stunned by the mixed feelings when he saw in front of him now that Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi, Bening's father, was smiling kindly greeting himself and also his mother.

Arjuna was still standing stunned with a carefree look.

"Please sit down Mbakyu, Arjuna. Consider it your own home," said Bening's father who sat opposite to Mrs. Lina.

Arjuna slowly lowered his head and sat down next to his mother.

"Sorry Dek Pras, really in front of many flowers greeting condolences to Bening. What's so true?" Ibu Arjuna asked softly in an anxious tone.

A heavy sigh slid from Father Bening. Then he recounted that the princess went to Australia on an EC Airlines plane and the fate of the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean. All passengers and crew members were killed, including Bening.

Degs...

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji..."

"Oh my goodness, Deck. So Bening is dead?" ask Ny. Lina was shocked.

"Yes Mbakyu, sorry. Because this incident damaged the matchmaking event that the late Mas Gatot and I had discussed in the past," said Bening's father.

Mrs. Lina sobbed bitterly hearing the story of Bening's father regarding the death of his future son-in-law. Even now Bening's body has not been found.

Arjuna don't ask me again how he feels right now. Hearing the mother and her future-in-law were both sobbing bitterly. His eyes glazed automatically.

The feeling in it was already not regret or guilt but rather the sadness of losing the figure of the woman who had secretly entered his heart unwittingly. I don't know when, nor does he know.

Has it happened since that night?

Has anyone since a dream about Bening been with him every night lately?

I don't know.

☘️☘️

"Once again I apologize to Mbakyu and Arjuna. Maybe Bening and Arjuna are not his match. I am sure God has prepared a good soul mate for Arjuna."

"Amin.." said Mrs Lina wistfully.

"I heard, you have become an AKBP and been appointed as Kasat Reskrim in Jakarta. Hope your career is more successful, Jun. Stay a role model in your family like your late father was very good. And become an apparatus that has high integrity and honesty. The higher the tree, the wind will be stronger. Go with sincerity. Ask for prayers to your mother and also to the wife who will accompany your life. Insha Allah all will go well on the pleasure of Allah," Bening's father said sincerely to Arjuna.

Degs...

The strands of each sincere sentence like his own family given by Bening's father to him, making Arjuna powerless to keep the secret that he had in his heart. Arjuna who was currently still wearing his uniform with full attributes immediately stood up and knelt in front of Father Bening.

It suddenly made Father Bening frown and the mother was astonished and surprised. With teary eyes he looked at Father Bening. His mouth is still clenched. Confused where to start.

"Juna," call the mother down.

"Arjuna what are you doing?" dad asked Bening quite surprised to see Arjuna kneeling and his eyes were already glazed.

Feels not.

But why ?

The feeling of tickling and wondering is happening to the inner Prasetyo Pambudi.

"Sorry, Pah. Sorry Juna. Arjuna guilty. Ju_na who has taken the sanctity of Bening accidentally," said Arjuna as he sobbed bitterly with tears that spilled can not be dammed anymore.

Yes, Arjuna knelt down to look at Father Bening and shed tears and made a confession. Just this time an Arjuna was crying so bitterly. When his father died, he was just crying. Trying to suppress his sadness.

But when confessing to Father Bening about his sin, his tears really spilled along with his lips that say honesty.

All he told me how until he stained Bening accidentally. And the cause of late came to Jakarta to account for his actions to Bening.

Degs...

Arjuna's mother grew sobbing bitterly at the confession of her son to Bening's father. The son he educated well and he upheld his honor to become a clean and authoritative apparatus, but in reality has tarnished the good name of the family.

She was ashamed of her late husband. Failing to educate Arjuna. He was also very ashamed of Father Bening.

"Juna, my goodness. Why are you like this? Why are you the same? Your wife's own candidate" said Ms. Lina stammered as she wept bitterly on Arjuna's kneeling shoulder, with her own hands.

"Sorry."

"I'm sorry Juna, Mom. Papah," said Arjuna.

The hand of Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi suddenly clenched. The flames of anger in his receding heart had now suddenly risen. Smoulder.

PLAQUE...

A slap darted across Aruna's cheek leaving a pretty red five-finger mark there.

Arjuna's mother couldn't do much. He was also very disappointed and sad to hear all this. He can only resign if his candidate slaps the son who has desecrated his daughter.

Madam Lina really understands how Daddy feels. Of course in this world, no father would willingly see his daughter made sad by being desecrated even accidentally.

"So you're the one who impregnated Bening! Answer. You ba-ass!" yelled Bening's father while pulling Arjuna's uniform collar until this man looked up at the face of Bening's father who was venting anger at him.

"Ha_ mil," said Arjuna stammering.

She was surprised even Ms. Lina shut her mouth to hear her iron candidate say that Bening is pregnant with the seed of the son, Arjuna.

"I'm sorry, Bening. I deserve to die!" inner Arjuna was struck by the fact that Bening was pregnant with his seed.

And now Bening has died with his baby in the womb along with Bening's departure to Australia which led to the tragedy of the crash of an EC Airlines plane.

Traveling for ever. Leaving thousands of feelings raging in the chest of an Arjuna. A deep sense of regret wrapped in unexpected love that came entering the recesses of his heart. Not just a sense of responsibility.
