With a look of disappointment, Riu leaned against the closet door while bending her legs on the floor. Tata's accusation felt like a sharp sword piercing up to his heart.
Out of nowhere such a thought emerged, Riuga was only speechless with the netra that began to sparkle withstanding the crystal clear that had filled his eyelids.
"Why are you quiet, Riu? Is everything I say true?" tata shouted urging Riuga to admit something he had never done.
"What should I tell you? I know, I'm not a good person. I have often lost the lives of others. But, I have never eliminated the people I love!" sahut Riuga while removing traces of crystals that imprint on his cheeks.
Slowly, Riuga rested her two hands that were already shaking on the floor and got up from her seat. After standing in an upright position, the handsome man opened his wardrobe and took out a box containing his childhood memories.
Riuga approached Tata and placed the medium-sized box right in the palm of her hand.
"Maybe you can figure out the answer after looking at the contents of this box!"
Riuga could not even look at her angry face. The handsome man then turned his body to pick up the clothes and immediately put them on.
Tata who was curious, took his breath slowly and brought the box he had held onto the mattress.
With a face filled with question marks, Tata slowly moved her hand and touched the top of the box.
So nervous, Tata finally closed his eyes and rushed to open the box with his hands that began to tremble violently.
For a moment, Tata was aghast as she reopened her eyes. The contents in the box, immediately reminded him back to his parents who had died a few years ago.
"Mom, Papa... You guys?"
Tata continued to mumble while looking at one by one the photos that were already in his hands.
Long-standing longing The damning system alone, finally with a flash able to melt his heart.
No words can express his feelings at this time. Only tears that fell in divorce could decipher all the turmoil in his heart.
Seeing such a deep sadness on the face of the woman he loved, Riuga was unable to hold himself back. The handsome man walked over to Tata and pulled her body into his arms.
"What is the meaning of all this, Riu? Hix... Hicks..."
Tata cried in Riuga's arms while asking for an explanation for all the photos that had made him dissolve in that very deep sadness.
"I'm sorry, Tata! I didn't mean to hide all this from you! I only found out when we were coming back!" riuga said as she stroked her female hair gently.
"Who are you, Riu? Why do you have all these photos?" tanya Tata who is still sobbing in Riuga's arms.
Because Tata already knew everything, Riuga could not hide anything more from the woman. Riuga realized, Tata also has the right to know the relationship between her parents and her parents.

"Uncle, wakeup. My butterflies hurt to hear your snoring!" little Riuga shouted right at his uncle's ear.
"Riu, are you awake?" asked Haikal who was shocked to hear the screams of his adopted son.
"Uncle sleeps like that, where there are women who want to be the same Uncle. I just can't hear Uncle's snoring!" said little Riuga as she moved from her uncle's body.
Riuga ran to the bathroom because she could not stand something that had stuck in her groin area.
Seeing little Riuga rush into the bathroom, Haikal immediately followed because he was worried about his best friend's son.
"You why Riu?" haikal asked as he frowned.
"Uncle, you're really disrespectful! Why are you looking at my stern?" shouted little Riuga innocently.
"Hahahaha, you are! Uncle thinks something happened to you!" sahut Haikal laughs.
"I'm a big boy, Uncle. I just wanted to pee, Uncle didn't see?" little Riuga said as she turned her back to her uncle.
"Yes, yeah. Sorry Uncle!" sahut Haikal steps out of the bathroom.
