Stepping Without Direction

Twenty-five

Now change Mirna was surprised to see what she saw. Arya crying? Arya who likes to spend time, recklessly, and not think about her future was crying when she heard the story? Really, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. Even a sense of compassion in the heart of Mirna to the man who was crying. In the past at Panti, several times he saw orphanage children who were caught stealing and escaping from the orphanage, but they were forced to return to the orphanage because they did not know where to go. But they were not punished for their behavior.

The man who once wasted his youth has now become the opposite person. I don't know what caused it, Mirna doesn't know. Maybe he doesn't need to know about his heart. And importantly, the man had regretted all his past deeds. He wants to fix it.

"Have it, you said just forget the past by stepping over the life we once did without status. A speck of that stain don't you make regrets but warnings. Because you used to be irresponsible."

Mirna's words made the man stand up again and wipe his tears.

"I'm sorry, I was carried away with a deep feeling of sadness. I really want to make up for all my past mistakes. Especially now that you've told me about my past."

"Have you got all your regrets?"

"Yes. In addition to the events that have happened to you, there have also been tragic events that have engulfed me."

"What's that?" Ask Mirna curious.

"Over these seven years there have been many things that have taken my life, my younger brother died in an accident. Since then, my parents have been in shock and ill. A few days later my parents died thinking that their second child had died."

"Enough, Mum. No need to continue, I can understand it. But really, I didn't think that was your life at all." Said.

"Yes, no one expected that. Our family is a warm family, and we love each other. My sister's death has changed everything, especially me. With their deaths, the responsibility of managing the family company became my responsibility. And it's all something new to me."

Mirna was silent and lowered her head. It is no wonder why Arya can change so drastically. Like Arya who he used to know when at Silvi's party. Not hearing Mirna's comment, Arya glanced at her. He didn't want to wait too long because it was a waste of time.

"Myrna, answer my proposal with a certainty not just hope. Another problem, let us leave it. Because it will only make our conversation burdened with a dark and gloomy past story."

"other problems? For example what, Mom?" Mirna asked as she raised her face back.

"Yes, for example.... You still have that freak of anger you used to feel and want to avenge it against me."

Mirna took a deep breath. He must admit, if remembered the incident seven years ago there is still something that makes his feelings sad. But it is true, such things are not relevant to be talked about again even remembered.
