The Charm Behind the Mist

Stuck up.

~Happy Reading~

Recky has returned to Australia and is trying to think calmly and well. Everything that happened was part of his mistake that continued to procrastinate stating what his heart felt. 'If I had just given it over the phone back then, I might still have been able to get Carren.' That's what he keeps thinking and regretting.

A week had passed, but his heartbreak had not diminished. He tries to concentrate on his work. He is currently being entrusted with drawing several bridges and buildings in several places, including Canberra.

Suddenly the phone vibrated. When he saw his father calling, he responded to his call. Because these past few days, she had only responded to calls from certain people related to her work.

📱"Allooo, Papa. What's up?" Ask Recky, because her dad rarely contacts her when he's home. His father called, if there was anything to do with work.

📱"Recky, it's Mama. Your father's sick, so Mama called you so you could get here soon." Said Ms. Biantra, as Recky responded to her call.

📱"What pain, Ma? A few days ago still talking to me." Recky said surprised and astonished.

📱"The name also hurts, yes suddenly. Maybe Papa has a problem in the heart. Now it's being checked. You take care to get back here." Speak with a confident and quiet voice.

📱"Good. Did Mama tell you about Kk?" Recky asked, remembering her brother.

📱"Let's tell Mama, the important thing is that you come here soon. What time can you get here?" Ask Mama again to get certainty that Recky will come to Jakarta.

📱"Tomorrow new afternoon I arrived there." Recky said sure.

📱"Then you tell me the clock is here, so that your driver can pick you up at the airport." Said Mrs Biantra quietly.

📱"Yes. I'll tell you later. Mama don't stay with Papa alone." Recky said in a panic, because he first heard his Papa was sick. He rolled up the picture, then took care of his departure to Jakarta.

Mr. Biantra who heard the talk of his wife and son, bowed sadly on the chair. He was silent with dewy eyes hearing what his son was saying as an end to his affection for himself.

.***.

The next day as Recky said, he arrived at Soeta Airport, Cengkareng. The driver was waiting to pick her up.

Then the driver took Recky to the place where Bu Biantra told him to.

"Sir, why are we going this way? What hospital was Papa admitted to?" Recky asked in surprise, looking at the car in a direction that there was no Hospital. 'Or is there a new hospital in this area?' Ask in the heart.

"Mrs asked me to escort the young master here first, sir. Later another one was delivered by the Madam." Speak the driver slowly and carefully.

Hearing that, Recky began to suspect. But he tried to think positively. It's impossible for her mom to lie by saying her dad is sick.

When he arrived at a luxurious house building, Recky's forehead doubled. "Papa's being treated here?" Ask the driver, as if they can't believe it.

"Yes, young master. Sir awaited inside, so leave the master bag in the car alone." Speak to the driver slowly and start to get scared.

Recky immediately got down and walked towards the house that the driver intended. Once in front of the door, he knocked and the door was opened by the maid. He was blamed for entering, then taken to the living room.

He was surprised when he saw his mother sitting with a beautiful makeup, and his father dressed officially. He was even more surprised when he saw Liana sitting beside his parents. They were all wearing official clothes.

Recky looked at Liana with burning eyes. But Liana pretended not to see it. Recky did not say anything, he was like a statue sitting stiffly not moving or talking.

Seeing Recky's rigid attitude and condition and unwilling to apologize, her mother said. "Mother and Father Tarikalla. Because of this our son has come, we represent him to apologize and at the same time propose to the father's daughter and mother as a sense of responsibility. May the father and mother forgive our son and be willing to give your daughter to marry our son." Ms. Biantra spoke politely and as sweetly as possible.

"Because of the reputation of the father and mother of Biantra, we accept his apology and bless our son married to the father's son and mother Biantra." Said Mr. Tarikalla, Papa Liana.

Hearing that, no strings attached Recky stood up and walked out with his long strides. He took the car keys from his mother's driver, then got into the car and started the engine. He gestured to security to open the gate, while pulling back his car.

He was already preparing to hit the gate fence of Liana's house, if they did not open it. When he heard her gassing his car over and over again, security immediately opened the gate.

Recky came out of Liana's house with the sound of a car roaring like his heart was in a revolt and very angry.

He took his car into his yard without caring about the maids who were shocked and panicked to hear the sound of car tires squeaking, because of the sudden brakes done by Recky.

He went into the room and took off all his clothes. Then go into the bathroom and fill the bathtub with cold water. He soaked his body in the bathtub, feeling that it could soon explode.

Panic at the thought of his father who was sick and tired in the flight immediately disappeared, replaced with anger that he could not control. The surprise she faced and what her mother did almost killed her.

That made Recky drown his head in a bathtub. At the lowest point of his consciousness, he recalled his responsibilities in Australia. He let out his head with a gasp of breath and shouted out loud.

She hit the water in the bathtub many times, then grabbed her hair firmly. He couldn't accept everything his parents did. Not satisfied screaming, he came out of the bathtub and cleaned himself. He wanted to get out of the house right then and there.

Recky changed his clothes and put his wallet, cell phone and car keys in his pants pocket. Suddenly there was a knock on the door of his room. "Recky, open the door. Or will Mama order people to break into her?" Said his mother at the door, because the waiter had told him about Recky's condition when he arrived home.

Recky opened the door wide and slammed it with all his might. It made the door tremble and her mother who was in front of the door was shocked and held her chest.

"Recki... What the hell are you doing? You've embarrassed us in front of the Tarikalla family." Her mother snapped, after she lost her surprise.

"Mama thinks more of the shame in front of the family, than the feelings of the child himself? Why should I be ashamed in front of my family? What have I done, until Mama should be ashamed?" Recky said with fiery eyes.

"You fucked their daughter, so you're responsible. Are you a man or not?" Bu Biantra said firmly, because that is what Liana said to him as well as her parents.

"Haha... Fuck her? I fucked him or did he fuck me?" Recky asked as he pointed his hand outwards and also to his face.

"Don't avoid responsibility by making excuses. What was decided, that's what will be done." Bu Biantra said firmly, unwilling to hear what Recky said.

Hearing that, Recky's anger overflowed. "Mama believes that ghost more than her own child? Is that right, you're the woman who gave birth to me?" Recky asked as he pointed at his mother's chest.

"Reckii...." Mrs Biantra shouted.

"Mamaaa... If you were my mother, you wouldn't trap and push me into a ravine like this." Recky yelled louder, then hit a nearby wall to vent anger and regret in his chest.
