SINCERELY TAKE OFF YOU

77. Honesty That Pain

Arga kept thinking about what Ema's mother said. He laid down his body that was feeling very tired today.

What he had to do, this matter really required clear thinking.

"Three people are waiting for my honesty, should I be honest with Anita? What if she won't accept it, if Marisa's my ex-wife. I'm afraid Anita will change her attitude towards me, I don't want to lose her again." Arga muttered.

Tok tok tok tok

Ema's mother knocks on Arga's room door, she pulls on the door handle and at her. Ema's mother saw Arga lying down and her face facing upwards, as if thinking. He knocked on the door inaudible.

Ema's mother approached and sat down on the edge of her bed. Arga looked at her and sat down next to Ema's mother.

"You've been thinking about who you told first?" ask Ema's mother.

Arga sighed, he lowered his head and both his hands were on the hook to his face, tightly shut.

"I don't know ma, I'm confused" said Arga.

"Mama said it's better for Anita first, so that later she will not misunderstand if someday she knows from the outside. Mama's just worried about your relationship with Anita, she's a good girl. Even though he was hurt many times by Rendi until trauma. But she was willing to take care of her ex-husband when he was in the hospital.

She is a good woman and her heart is fragile. If you hurt her again because you were late to be honest with her, you're too much Arga. Do you really love Anita?" ask Ema's mother.

"Yes ma, I don't want to lose him twice. I really love her, I want to marry her. Mama knows what I've done all this time to dedicate everything to Anita" Arga said.

"Then you tell him immediately, I'm sure he'll understand your situation. After Anita's okay, you can tell Celine about Marisa" Ema's mother said.

Arga was speechless, she looked at Ema's mother with her smile expanding. Indeed, the thought of parents is more mature than him who is always hesitant to determine the attitude.She then hugs Ema's mother with a happy and calm mind. He will do it according to his mother's advice.

Tonight Arga sleeps quietly because he has found the bright spot of the problem.

He doesn't know what will be next.

The night in waiting for Arga, he came to Anita's house with a worried heart. But a little quiet, she will indeed be honest with Anita tonight about Marisa and Celine.

Tok tok tok tok

Arga knocked on the door rather loudly. Before long, the door opened and was seen in front of the one that opened not Anita, but Yuni's mother.

"So you haven't slept yet?" asked Arga smiling kindly.

"Looks not yet. Wait for me to call you first, son Arga just come in." said Yuni's mother.

"Yes ma'am, just on the porch" said Arga.

Mother Yuni went inside to call Anita and Arga sat on a chair on the porch of the house. He wants to face Anita.

Before long, Anita came out with a cup of coffee and a snack of crisp beans.

"Thank you, Anita." said Arga, smiling at Anita.

But Anita's face looks flat and like there's something she keeps. Arga saw Anita tonight was strange, there was no joy like before.

"What's wrong?" tanya Arga saw Anita was silent.

"Ga, I want to talk to you" said Anita.

"Speak what, it seems serious?" ask Arga.

His feelings were not good, but he tried to calm down and let out a long sigh.

Anita was silent, she hesitated to tell the truth. Arga waited patiently, but Anita still did not want to talk.

"Anita, I want to..."

"Ga, do you remember when I told you about the woman I knew on the beach?" ask Anita.

Arga frowned, remembering the woman Anita told him about. But she has yet to find which woman Anita meant

"Women who met at the diner, when you were in tolilet" Anita said.

Arga tries to remember, but he nods so Anita can talk to him as soon as possible.

"Then, what's the connection with talking seriously?" ask Arga again.

She is a widow, Ga. She came to this village to see her son and wanted to apologize to her ex-husband whom she had betrayed and left."

Anita was silent for a moment, she lowered her head. The truth is, but he has to tell Arga first. And Arga was still silent, still not understanding the meaning of Anita's story about the woman he meant.

Only here, Arga can feel where the conversation is. But he still quietly listened to the continuation of Anita's story.

"She, Marisa Ga."

Until here Arga was still clenched, lowered his head. Does Anita know about Marisa? Is Marisa his ex? But isn't the story similar to Marisa who had wanted to be acknowledged by her son Celine?

Suddenly Arga's heart aches, she does not expect that Marisa whom Anita means is her ex.

"Anita..."

"He wants to talk to you Ga, he's your ex right Ga?" anita asked slightly stuck in her throat.

"Anita..."

"Talk to her Ga, she's waiting for you to talk and wants Celine to admit she's her mother."

"Anita...."

He's sick Ga, he's sick because you don't talk to him either. I.., promise her to help him say this to you. Solve your problems with Marisa." Anita took a long breath.

To be honest she is very heavy and jealous, but as a woman who misses her child will definitely get sick too if there is no certainty when it will happen. Admit his son, even if he's wrong.

Anita lowered her head, she held the edge of her mag which felt warm.

Arga held Anita's hand, she got up from her seat and crouched down in front of Anita while looking at Anita with mixed feelings. She is sad and sorry why she did not immediately tell Anita about Marisa when Marisa met her at her home.

"Anita, I'm sorry to you for not telling Marisa the truth immediately. But really, I have no intention of hiding from you. I came tonight to be honest with you, Anita." said Arga still staring at Anita who suddenly cried.

Arga kisses Anita's hand, hoping Anita understands her uneasiness all along.

"Marisa knows that you are close to me Ga, so she asked me to tell you this, Ga. I think you should talk to Marisa and Celine. Celine needs to know that Marisa's her mom."

"But he's wrong, Anita. He left me and Celine since he still needed his mother's breast." Arga assured Anita that he did not expect Marisa to be present in his life again.

"Do you regret staying by Marisa?"

Anita's question made Arga stuck, Anita misunderstood her words. Arga shook her head, she held Anita's hand tightly.

"No Anita, I've never regretted living by her. I'm sorry when I couldn't say love back then Anita."

"But you married him and had Celine, Ga."

"It's because I'm desperate that you're married to Rendi first. I'm..."

"Marisa's still hoping she can get back to you, Ga."

Arga let out a long sigh, there was no need for him to fight and discuss the past. She'll talk to Marisa and tell her she's Celine's mother, for Anita's sake.

"I'll talk to Marisa and bring Celine too. I'll tell Celien that she's his mother" Arga said, asserting herself that she wanted to do it for Anita's sake.

For Anita's sake, she doesn't want Anita to get hurt anymore. He'll do whatever Anita wants.

Arga still holding Anita's hand, she looked at Anita who was still silent and lowered her head. Anita lifted her chin so she could see Anita's face. And he saw Anita crying, Arga erased Anita's tears that had not been dripping.

Quickly ending her grief, was not what she expected. But telling me honesty is painful.

Anita stood up, she Arga followed her standing. He let out a long sigh, and looked at Arga then smiled at him.

"Do the Ga, it is not good to withstand an uncertain problem when it is completed. At least you finish it now, can ease your burden also Marisa" said Anita trying hard.

"Yes, this week I'm taking Celine to see him. I'll do what you say." said Arga.

"Not because of me, Ga. At least Celine knew her mother was still there and looked for her."

"Yes, I know. I also want this done soon."

The two hugged each other, trying to calm their hearts. Trying to understand each other's thoughts, and hope that all is quickly completed.
