The collapse of Haruki's residence, heard all the way to Japan. Keyshu hurriedly left his wife who had just given birth to their second child, using the main vehicle. The plane also used the property of his friend, with the military logo so that he quickly got to the place, Arafif looks regretful what happened. The two children in his arms also cried, because they could not stand everything that happened.
"What have you done Zelia, why have you sacrificed myself like this, and what about the fate of these children. You said you wanted to raise them yourself, you said you wanted to take care of them with your own two hands, but why now you're leaving them like this. How am I going to explain to them, how am I going to explain to your brother Keyshu."
Arafif was so confused at this time did not know what to do, then he went to the nearest headquarters to leave his two children, to be given first aid. Then Arafif returned to Zelia's destroyed house, many people had come to see, firemen and rescue teams had also arrived.
"Sorry sir, do not enter into the possibility that this place will collapse again" said the rescue team.
"I have to save someone trapped there, I promised him I'd save him, I have to go. Let go of me, he must be waiting for me to come" said Arafif who could not contain his tears.
"Hold him, make a deal until he gets there. Sir it's very dangerous" shouted the rescue team.
Arafif did not care about it, all shouting that Arafif did not enter the rubble of the building, but Arafif even desperate to enter.
Long story short, Keyshu immediately came to the scene of his house there was no rest. Just leaving the rubble, one by one the victims who were transported all died. Keyshu realized something if they were enemies who attacked his home residence, Keyshu regretted not bringing his sister along to go to Japan.
"Zelia, if I hadn't left you alone here this wouldn't have happened to you, I'm sorry my poor sister. Forgive your brother for not being able to take good care of you, I really regret this action" said Keyshu who felt guilty to his sister.
Before long Arafif emerged from the rubble carrying Zelia's lifeless body, Keyshu grew hysterical about having to lose his beloved sister again. Keyshu took the body from Arafif and took it away.
"You, what are you coming for. It's too late, my sister is the victim of your enemies, you accidentally made my sister like this, why do you have Arafif" Keyshu said.
Arafif could only resign himself to it, and could not do anything, only to accept all the insults and insults that Keyshu made.
The next morning Keyshu finally cremated his sister, and the ashes of Zelia he buried side by side with their parents' meal, Keyshu buried Zelia's ashes in a beautiful garden, that park is the dream garden that Zelia wanted.
Then there was a car driven by Arafif from afar, Arafif came but did not dare to approach the funeral, when Zelia's funeral ended, Keyshu saw Arafif standing at the entrance of the cemetery not daring to approach him.
Keyshu who finally came to Arafif, staring with a puffy gaze Arafif also released black glasses yes who also had his eyes moist, losing the person they loved was very painful for the two men.
"Why have you come, not satisfied nor have you ruined my sister's life!" Keyshu.
"Maybe I can't be forgiven by key, but I can only say an apology and thank you to key! I deserve to be hated by my brother, but at least I've tried to make up for it" Arafif said.
"It's too late, Arafif, I hate your stupidity so much. I also cannot accept everything you say, on the basis of what you treat my sister, despite all that, I am very disappointed with your attitude" said Keyshu who was very upset.
"I'm really sorry, sis, I don't have any such intentions, honestly I'm also very unwilling to let Zelia go. Maybe for kak key it's too late, yes it's my fault. No matter how much I make up for everything, this will be meaningless, for all my mistakes."
"You're aware too, and then what do you want to come here for?" keyshu.
"I came just to say something, maybe I don't deserve to bear the title of a father, but I want to beg kak key to be able to accept them, as a favorite nephew of kak key. That's all I want to tell you, apologize again."
"So, did you know that zelia was pregnant?" keyshu stared intently.
"Yes, I already know. During this month I was also with him, to spend time with him" said Arafif whose face he bowed, feeling guilty to Keyshu.
"So it seems, when it happened were you with him?" keyshu asked again to hear more.
"Yes, I'm with him. I've tried my best to save the lives of Zelia's sister, and her children. But I still failed. I'm sorry, sister key, I don't deserve to be called a man who can protect Zelia's sister."
"Tell Arafif correctly, when I autopsied my sister's body, I didn't find the baby. Where are those kids? If they die together maybe it's still in the womb, yeah, because the kid's gonna be born in a week and if you're with him, then do you know where the two kids are?" asked Keyshu who was clutching Arafif's sleeve.
"Yes, I know. The children are born, they are with me now" replied Arafif, whose eyes had turned red from holding back his tears.
"Curtain! Until this moment also why you are still a shadow, why you are always... You-you-my sister, must've been happy. Since her time has been spent with you, was it when she was with you my sister you were happy right?" said Keyshu who was hysterical.
"I'm as good as I can, brother, to stay by his side. Really, I always obey whatever I want. If it's about being happy or not, I don't deserve to say yes because I don't know if he's happy or not with me" Arafif said.
"That's it, then where are the children!" asked Keyshu who straightened his body back up.
"They are in the car, I also intend to give them to you as his uncle, so that they may have a decent life if they live with you, brother, if they come with me in this condition of mine, always a fugitive among the nobles, there is no way that I will take them with me. So I put them to key. Zelia has given names to her two children. Alex and Azalea, Zelia and I agreed to use your name as a surname, I gave them up. I'm sorry, I'm still troubling you to this second."
"Why can it be like this, why you, you, you Huaawwaaaaa! Zelia, my sister.." Can't be contained back Keyshu's cry finally broke as well.
Arafif could not see this as his heart was torn apart to see Keyshu and his two children, Arafif finally decided to leave the place.
"I'm sorry, thank you for everything forgive me for my helplessness, forgive my shortcomings and weaknesses, as a punishment I'm willing you don't mention me as a father of my own children, and I'd be willing if I wouldn't meet them. For all my penance, I will no longer disturb your lives. Goodbye, brother, excuse me!"
"ARAFIF, wait!" said Keyshu stopped Arafif's move to die.
"If, if if they were looking for you and they wanted to meet you, would you meet them. However they are your children, I must admit that you are the father. But, with a note if they're willing to accept you as their father."
"Sister, I am ready to bear the burden and the consequences. Like what Keys said I don't deserve to be a father, because I'm not a good father for their future, I believe their future is with Kak Key! Say hello to my apology to brother Zoya, and thank me to him" said Arafif who immediately left the place without looking back.
...****************...
Back to the present ! After the events of the past, Arafif and Keyshu's past cannot be combined like water and oil.
...----------------...
At Monika's residence in Indonesia, the middle-aged woman was silent while staring at the night sky, she was eager to meet her husband who she had not seen for almost 4 months since the incident.
His longing is opposite to his ego and arrogance, Monika does not want to visit or contact Arafif first, while Arafif is confused to explain everything that happened.
"Mr Arafif, you're back. Please come in, sir!" say bi Inah while opening the door.
"Yes Thank you. Inah, is my wife inside?" ask Arafif.
"Mrs seems to be in the room, mistress lately is a bit strange sir. Like the same thought and good, yesterday also besan you came to ask the news of his son, I do not know how to explain to you."
"Nothing, let me meet Monika and take care of everything" said Arafif who walked to her room.
Tok Tok Tok...
Knock that door, make Monika's daydream crumble. Look at the door, and return to the view outside the window.
"Come in, the door's not in the lock!" said Monika who didn't see who opened the door.
"How, has there been any news from Andre or Elisha? Where are those kids, why make parents anxious like this, did something happen to them?" monika said unknowingly saying that to the man who came.
"Where are they really? To make you this golden as Monika" the familiar voice made Monika turn to the source of the voice, how shocked Monika was.
"You-you? Why are you here?"
"Hmph! I'm still your husband, and older than you why did he call you?" said Arafif, making Monika a bit tense because it has not met for a long time so a bit nervous when meeting again.
"I'm sorry!" monika said, apologizing immediately.
"For what? Icha who has to apologize, right the wrong thing is the beetle, so what should be sorry is the beetle is not it? Sorry beetles! Because it has hurt Icha and left without saying goodbye, to not contact Icha at all, since the incident, the beetle is very tangent. Icha, I'm sorry beetles, we're better."
Arafif's persuasion of his wife, very spoiled and using a nickname while still dating. Icha and beetles, that's their dear nickname before.
Monika blushed so embarrassed that she could not stem the happiness yes, she immediately hugged her husband who was also very happy because he could make up with his wife.
"So are beetles forgiven?" said Arafif who was very spoiled.
Just once a nod from Monika they finally made up, Arafif was very happy at this moment because he was forgiven.
"Where have you been living all this time? why don't you ever go home" asked Monika.
"In the place of papah acquaintance, well it is troublesome but yes want how else I am very embarrassed to meet you, tangent want to explain what else to you" said Arafif self-defense.
"Then why never call me or send me a message, but at least at least give an explanation, so that I do not misunderstand" said Monika who asked for accountability.
"Because I was so confused to have to behave how to deal with my ichaku, even though it has been persuaded several times by my son still I was still awkward to meet you" said Arafif.
"When I wait for you, you are so evil that I have to wait like this" said Monika who pointed to her side of the pot.
"I'm sorry, there's more I want to tell you. I can't lie to you anymore and hide yes anymore, nor do I expect you to forgive this despicable me, but I can't hide this" Arafif said.
"What is it, say it! What else are you hiding from me, you got another secret?" said Monika.
"Yes, this is about... My children, from other women. Besides you Monika, I'm sorry I've been hiding this secret for years."
Arafif's words made Monika very surprised by what he said, her face was shocked to hear that. Monika immediately remembered the words of friends in his field that a man will not be enough with one woman, even though he already has a wife will definitely have a mistress outside his home.
