The Lie (He I Love)

Chapter 22

Saga talked to her father-in-law about their business. However, there was something stuck in the heart of his father Aluna. He wanted to ask the reason why Saga betrayed his son. Though he had promised to take care of the princess. And will always be happy.

"Ga, what's your illness? Do you remember?" tanyakanya.

"Why me, pa?" ask Saga back.

"You're sick again. You're temporary amnesia." said his father-in-law.

"Aluna said that too, pa."

"Papa wants you to keep getting sick. Not because of anything, but let your child not hurt continue." said his father-in-law who made Saga immediately turned his head.

"Sir..sud papa?"

Papa Aluna looked straight ahead. His eyes were glaring when he remembered a while ago his son came crying. Her son said that her husband had cheated on her. Aluna's cry at that time could not be forgotten by her father.

"You remember your son?"

"Kids? Did Aluna and I have kids?" tanya Saga still doesn't understand.

"It's not Aluna's child, it's your affair" replied Papa Aluna withstanding the pain in her heart.

"I pa? L'm.. L'm.. I cheated?" ask Saga again in shock.

"Yes, I have a child and I almost have two children" replied Aluna.

Saga was smiling. "Papa don't joke ah.. There's no way I betrayed Aluna, I love her so much" Saga said with a small smile. It seemed like he still could not believe what his father-in-law had said.

"Even papa himself never thought you would betray Aluna." said papa Aluna also smiled a little.

"You were willing to leave your family, your wealth for the sake of marrying Aluna. But maybe you're tired of Aluna, because she still can't love offspring." papa Aluna again smiled a little. There is meaning in that smile. The sad and disappointed faces mixed into one.

Saga felt very guilty and was afraid to see the expression on her father-in-law's face. Immediately he grabbed his father-in-law's hand and knelt in front of him. Saga also kissed her father-in-law's hand many times, also begging for mercy.

"Pa, if that's true. I'm so sorry. It must be all because of something out of control. I'm sorry, pa. But I beg you not to separate me from Aluna, pa. I can't live without her" Saga said, begging her father-in-law for forgiveness.

"Wake up!" said papa Aluna.

Slowly Saga began to get up and again sat down next to her father-in-law. "I'm sorry, pa." he said again.

"It's not your father who sent you apart or not. But Aluna herself. He filed for divorce with you before you got sick" said papa Aluna.

"Papa as a parent can only support Aluna's decision. Most importantly it can make Aluna happy. You know Aluna's your only son. All papa risked for his happiness. Including papa's blessing first, let Aluna marry you." continued papa Aluna.

Saga looked at her father-in-law who kept looking straight ahead. Her father-in-law was like enduring such deep disappointment.

"Pa, I promise I'll take care of Aluna. Because to me, he's my priority. I promise, pa.." said Saga back.

Just like the old days when he promised to look after Aluna. Now, he's doing the same thing. He promised in front of his father Aluna to make Aluna happy.

"Just wait for Aluna's decision when you're healed. Papa can only wish you all the best." said Papa Aluna before she got up and went inside the house.

Aluna woke up early in the morning blind. Before cooking, he exercises first. As usual, every time he's off. Aluna will exercise after waking up. Even though I just run around the complex. But that already made Aluna sweat quite a lot.

Now, that cheerful face has returned. Along the run, Aluna greeted the people she met. As before, he always does.

"For the lady.." suddenly someone appeared and greeted Aluna.

Aluna turned her head and was shocked to see Alfarezi running beside her. "Whenever you run in here?" aluna asked without stopping her running.

"Anj*r, you can" said Aluna, open to hear Alfarezi's speech.

"My house is in the next compound."

"No." said Aluna, open.

"I'll tell you.. Ih want to jitak deh.." said Alfarezi while pinching Aluna's head.

"Udah is called anj*r.." grumbled Aluna.

Alfarezi smiled. He continued to follow Aluna who was still strong running. "Sit there yuk! I'm so tired." pinta Alfarezi pointed at the bench on the side of the road.

"Ish, it's not strong." said Aluna. But, he did what Alfarezi said. They stopped at the bench. Then sit together.

"Well.. I am tired of knowing.. Are you alone?"

"Hm.. My husband is still a mess." replied Aluna while wiping the sweat on her face and neck.

"It's okay, just keep going, so I can let you run away." said Alfarezi again with a smile back.

"Did, people are not strong.. Sok-sok'an.." sneered Aluna.

"Ish insulted him.. If so run again tomorrow, I will show my true strength." replied Alfarezi silly.

"Pengen see how strong your ability is. But unfortunately tomorrow I am camping with my husband." said Aluna again.

"Looks?"

"Hm.. I haven't enjoyed the outside air for a long time.."

"How many people love camping?" alfarezi muttered alone.

"What's? How's Fa?" Aluna thought that Alfarezi was talking to her.

"No, it's just strange, why do so many people like camping." replied Alfarezi.

"Emang yes?" Alfarezi nodded his head.

"My sister also wants to camp tomorrow with her boyfriend."

"Eatya have a girlfriend so that you can be invited to camping." said Aluna.

"What boyfriend? Fancied girls just lose spit to people." replied Alfarezi advancing his lips.

Heard Alfarezi's words. Aluna became bitter. He returned to Alfarezi. "Much love. So if you like girls tuh said, do not be harbored alone. So lose fast, right?" he said while returning.

"I like you.." Alfarezi said quickly.

Of course what Alfarezi said made Aluna go silent for a moment. He looked at Alfarezi who looked serious. But suddenly Aluna smiled as she hit Alfarezi's arm slowly. "Don't like to joke like that! What if I were a baper?" tanya Aluna thought that what Alfarezi said was just a joke.

"It's noon, I'm back! We jog together again!" Aluna quickly said goodbye and left Alfarezi.

"Yes." replied Alfarezi as he continued to look at Aluna who was getting away. His eyes cannot be shaken. He kept staring at Aluna until Aluna was nowhere to be seen again.

Aluna tried to calm herself. He also sensed that Alfarezi was constantly staring at him. However, Aluna continued to hide her nervousness.

Actually, Aluna knew that what Alfarezi said earlier was no joke. However, Aluna realized her status was still a married woman.
