The Light of ANAS

Love Wrong Targets

The atmosphere in the middle room of Naz's parents' residence was gripping, Raline who continued to cry with silence until none of the questions from everyone she answered about the man who had impregnated her, she said, Mr. Syarief who had been furious to ride the apoplexy with Raline's silence. Meanwhile, Bu Rahmi continues to hug Raline for fear that her husband will hurt her daughter. Naz continued to stand beside his Papa to hold him back from being rude to Raline, while Arfin stood at the end of the sofa just as a listener for what to do. And without them knowing, the three domestic assistants in the house also watched silently from the direction of the dining room since they heard screams in the living room, they also told lovers.

“Raline,,, !! before Papa's patience runs out, who is the man who has impregnated you?”, Mr Syarief again shouted.

Raline released herself from her Mama's embrace slowly, as she sat upright she felt shocked by the presence of someone, her gaze fixed on the person standing there, then he raised his hand and pointed at the person while crying tears.

Everyone looked towards the person Raline pointed at, they were very surprised and could not believe the person Raline pointed at.

“Arfin...??”, said Mr. Syarief, Ms. Rahmi and Hardi simultaneously.

Naz immediately smothered her mouth with her palm from feeling shocked and distrustful of what she saw, as Raline's hand pointed at her husband. Arfin was even more surprised, because he felt ignorant, suddenly Raline pointed to him as the perpetrator and now everyone's gaze was on him, he then looked at his wife in the hope that Naz would not believe Raline's accusations against him. Naz went to leave the room running with tears, Arfin was without a second thought chasing Naz who ran out through the side door.

Now the three turned their eyes to Raline with a sharp look.

“Raline,, you don't joke, where might Arfin impregnate you,, do you want to damage the newly built Naz household huh?”, Mr. Syarief even more furious at Raline.

“Arfin can't be like that, Raline, Mas knows him very well”, Hardi commented.

“Raline,,, you don't accuse recklessly, do you still hate Naz? please do not ruin his happiness in this way”, Ms Rahmi was also angry.

Raline shook her head and pointed again at the person who had just arrived and was standing blocked by Arfin. The three people looked back at the direction that Raline pointed.

“Why are you staring at me like that? what is this?”, she asked confused. “That's Naz why run? was the newlywed fighting?”, he asked again.

“Arsen ??”, said Mr. Syarief, Bu Rahmi and Hardi simultaneously.

“Iya,, why? You guys are so weird?”, Arsen approached them with a godie bag in his hand.”Ah yes, this dress order Auntie, Mother asked me to deliver it here, and sorry I went straight in so, the door was a little open”, he said the purpose of his arrival.

“Raline,, what is he you mean?”, Mr. Syarief questioned Raline's answer, pointed at Arsen, and Raline nodded her head in affirmation.

"What??”, so Arsen who has impregnated you, Raline?”, the surprised Mr. Syarief asked again to make sure and Raline nodded back in tears.

Mr. Syarief who was filled with anger immediately approached Arsen and then gripped by pulling the collar of his shirt.“You insolent Arsen, you have to take responsibility for your actions !!”.

“What is this Om?? Mean what? Responsible for what??”, Arsen instead looks confused and shocked by Mr. Syarief's attitude.

Hardi approached his Papa, “Papa, please do not like this, Papa must be calm, let go of Arsen, we talk about this well-”, he asked and Mr. Syarief released his hand.

“Actually what is this, Mas?”, Arsen again asked.

“We sit down first, we just talk about this”, invite him, then the three sit on the sofa, “Begini Arsen, Mas want to ask, are you in a relationship with Raline?”.

“What??... No, Mas, we're not in a relationship, even I just met Raline again yesterday at the restaurant after last meeting during the shower Naz at home first, why, Mas?”, why, Arsen who was still feeling confused asked again.

“Don't dodge you Arsen!”, jolted Mr. Syarief.

“Papa, please, don't be emotional first”, Hardi again prevents Papa, “Arsen, when Mas just came, here there was chaos, and when Mas asked what was going on, he said, Mama said that Raline was pregnant, since we asked her who made her pregnant, Raline kept quiet and didn't tell us, but when you came she pointed at you, Arsen”, Hardi explained the matter.

“What?? Raline's pregnant? And he accused me of doing it??”, Arsen felt surprised by what Hardi said, then his gaze turned to Raline who was sitting in front of him only blocked by the table.

”Raline, what do you mean you accuse me like that??”, her question is upset.

“You still want to pretend huh?? You've dared to touch Raline until she's pregnant and you have to take responsibility for your actions !”, Mr. Syarief keeps nyolot on Arsen.

“Wait Om, I really do not understand, last met with Raline just a month ago at the show flush Naz, and just met again yesterday at the restaurant, how can I impregnate Raline?”.

“Because you raped me the night before Naz got married !! hiks hiks”, Raline who had been silent since just now let out her voice loudly and shocked everyone including Arsen himself.

“What??”, Arsen was surprised as well as the three people who had been waiting for Raline's confession since.

Mr. Syarief immediately stood up and approached Arsen, then pulled back his shirt collar until he stood up. Bugh,,, one punch landed on Arsen's right cheek, now Mr. Syarief is really angry and back hit Arsen mercilessly, Hardi could not stop Papa who was filled with anger.

Bi Surti who saw the incident with two other colleagues, took the initiative to look for Naz who had seen him run towards the side yard and chased by her husband. He also ran through the back door, and when he arrived there Bi Surti saw the couple hugging while sitting on the grass. Although actually feeling embarrassed and unpleasant to disturb them, with Bi Surti forced to approach them still with a breath of boredom because of running, “Sorry Non,, “, hearing the voice of Bi Surti, , the two immediately took off their embrace,

“Sorry Non, it was Mr. Syarief raging, den Hardi could not stop him”, he said.

“What?? Papa ngamuk?”, asked Naz in shock, “Yeah Raline,,,,”, Naz immediately stood up as well as Arfin, both of them remove the trace of tears and then left to go back into the house.

"Wait,,,”, Naz suddenly stopped his steps and her husband.

“What's the matter?”, Arfin felt astonished.

“It's better that Aa don't come inside, maybe Papa is angry with Aa, they must think that Aa who has impregnated Raline”, Naz is worried about her husband.

Arfin was speechless and seemed to think of something, “Darling, if they trusted Raline, maybe they had been chasing Aa here since, but not ?, that means they didn't believe it, right, that's why,, already, ayok quickly we should enter”, he said inviting Naz to continue his journey.

And upon arriving there they were very surprised to see Mr. Sharief who beat someone blindly until the person fell down was seen lying on the floor right beside the sofa where Raline was sitting still crying and back hugged Bu Rahmi, the man seemed to be trying to get up. Hardi hugged his Papa from behind, to stop him from attacking again, then Arfin helped Hardi to hold his in-laws. Naz came to them, and how surprised he saw the man who hit his Papa to the brunt turned out to be his brother.

“Kak Arsen...??”, he was surprised, then he stepped closer to Arsen.

“Let go,,!!”, shouted Mr. Syarief with a burning anger.

“Papa enough, Pa,,, Arsen already battered,,, don't hit him again, he won't fight, he can die, Pa,,,”, Hardi who was still hugging her Papa from behind kept trying to calm her down.

“Let go, Papa is not satisfied to beat the brengs*k who has dared to rape my daughter”, Mr. Syarief continues to rebel.

“What??”, Naz is again surprised by his Papa statement. “Kak,, Arsen's sister raped Raline?”, he said stammering brick in shock, then he smothered his own mouth.

“Lying,,, it's all a lie, Naz, it's slander”, Arsen denies talking by enduring the pain of Mr. Syarief's punch.

Naz turned to Raline, “Raline ,, is that true??”, Naz asked in disbelief, Raline nodded. Naz shook his head in an inexhaustible manner, His brother turned out to be that depraved, who had previously also tried to rape him.

“Lying,,, it's all a lie, Naz,,, I didn't do it”, Arsen who is now in a sitting position on the floor again denies, saying, then he shifted his seat so that he could look at Raline sitting on the sofa, “Raline, say all that lies, I never did that to you”.

Raline broke away from her Mama's embrace, and then she let out a deep sigh, “You did, Sister,,,, hiks,, you raped me the night before Naz's wedding,,,, you did,,,and at that time you were drunk,, hiks hiks”, he said and bowed his head not strong enough to hold his cry.

“What?? Mas Hardi clearly said that he found me lying in front of Naz's door when I was drunk, and then he took me to his room, how could I go to your room,, how could I, uh,, even I don't know where your room is, don't make up Raline's story, don't hand others' faults over to me”, Arsen was annoyed to have been accused.

Raline held her head up again and looked at Arsen, “I didn't lie, I could have sworn, hyx, you thought I was Naz, and raped me, huhuhuhu”, you know, Raline covered her face with both hands while continuing to cry.

“No way,, i...”.

Plakk, one slap landed on Arsen's already bonyok cheek,

“I think Brother has really changed, but all that is just nonsense !!”, Naz shouted at Arsen.

“Naz,, Raline lied, how could I rape Raline, while I was in front of your room”, Arsen continued to deny.

Arsen was astonished to hear the cry of Naz, “Naz, I really don't remember what happened that night, when I was really drunk,, all I knew when I woke up was already in Mas Hardi”'s room, he said with a still confused feeling.

“Sister must take responsibility, Brother must marry Raline !!”, he said with a roar of furious breath holding back anger.

“No,,, that's impossible,,, I don't have any feelings for Raline, and if it does happen, it's beyond my awareness,,,, that's,,, who knew that he had slept with someone else and instead scapegoated me”, Arsen continued to open himself up.

Bugh ,,, one bogeman landed on Arsen's face again until he fell back, Mr. Sharief really lost control and was very angry to hear the words Arsen,”Brengs*k,,, you bastard, you, Arsen !!”, he shouted, then Hardi and Arfin pulled him back and held him back so as not to hit Arsen, even though Arfin actually wanted to beat Arsen.

Arsen woke up grimacing and touching his sore cheeks ,”If I brengs*ek and bastard, then Om what??,, instead of Om also used to fuck Raline's mother drunk,,,,,,, what,,,, was Om in charge?”, Arsen turned back Mr Syarief's remark reminding of his past.

Mr. Syarief was stunned to hear Arsen's words, he remembered the sin in his past. He who had been shrouded in a fog of anger suddenly fell silent, his body seemed to tremble, because he only realized it turned out that the thing that was experienced by Bu Mira, was now experienced by Raline as well. He continued to step back until he stuck on the wall of the parapet with a room, and he leaned his back against the wall and then reduced himself to sitting on the floor with his hands holding his chest. The look of sadness and regret was so clearly visible on his face.

Raline who felt very hurt left the living room, she ran towards her room, and Bu Rahmi immediately chased after her. Arfin and Hardi were silent in silence who then sat on the sofa with their respective thoughts, which similarly held their anger at Arsen.

The atmosphere that had heated up now suddenly became silent for a moment, no one said a single word, which only sounded the roar of everyone's breath that sounded furious and the sobbing sound of Naz's cry.

Naz knelt down and sat opposite Arsen on the floor, “Why is Big Brother like this,,? wh why?? Hiks hiks”, Lirih Naz broke the silence, he felt struck with Arsen's attitude and speech.

“Where is my sister who I know very well, loving, patient, never hurt the feelings of others, especially me and Raline, hiks”, he added, Arsen only looked towards Naz but blankly.

“Since I was a child I loved you more than any other brother, because brother is the closest to me, you always protect and take care of me too Raline, Raline, until you rarely hang out with your peers because you always accompany us both. Does Brother know,,? many things Raline has done for Brother, many sacrifices that she has done so far for Brother, even she obeyed Brother's orders to hurt me, but why did you do this to her? Hiks hiks”.

“Naz,,,,”, down,

“From the first time Raline admired you so much for always looking after and protecting us, even she was only willing to be taken to the doctor if you went with her, she could fight her fear when you were next to her, he always tries to recover from his illness because he wants to always be around you and always be with you, because Big Brother means so much to him…. Even when Brother was locked up in a barn by Dad because brother was punished after a fight at your school, Raline begged Dad to get you out and she kept standing at Dad's door until night, and finally I granted her request because I couldn't bear to see Raline cry. When Brother was sick with high fever to unconsciousness, he took care and took care of Brother, he compressed continuously overnight, until tomorrow he who fell ill, hix hiks”. Naz begins to remind Arsen of their childhood.

“What Brother remembers when Brother came from Bandung and picked us up to the public swimming pool, there Brother fought until he was pushed into the deep pool while brother could not swim, and there was no big brother, Raline's the one who helped Brother, because I couldn't swim and after that he was immediately hospitalized for too long in the water and his heart disease worsened until he had to undergo heart transplant surgery”, Naz opens up one thing after another that Raline did for Arsen.

“What?? So it was Raline who did it?? Not you??”, Arsen was surprised and found out.

“Iya, Sis, and many more things Raline does for you, you can ask Mama and Mommy if you do not believe”, he assured Arsen.

“Then why when there are girl friends come to the house or approach me, you always disturb, prank even to expel them and keep them away from me, even you said brother should not marry any woman because you will be the bride for ku”, Arsen again asked.

“I have never spoken like that, I said Sister should not marry any woman because I will bring the bride for Sister, and her bride is Raline,,,,,, and,,, hiks hiks ,,,”, he said while sobbing and made Arsen again surprised.

”I always disturb the girl friends who approach you, because it makes Raline sad, she always says Olin dear Brother Chen, Brother Chen is only for Olin, when you grow up, Olin just wants to marry Brother Chen, he loves you very much, Sis, Raline who loves you, not me, she has sacrificed a lot for you,, he, too, has sacrificed a lot for you,, even to the point of risking his own life, but he did it secretly so that you do not know it,, hiksh”, Naz revealed everything that Raline had been doing secretly.

“So,, no way,,,”, Arsen shook his head in disbelief at everything Naz told him.

“No idea what Raline's doing to all your orders, until she keeps me away and always keeps me shunned by other friends, even shamelessly he got close to Bang Evan when he found out Bang Evan was approaching me, only to fulfill your request,, it was because he loved you, he was willing to do anything for you,,, hiks hiks”.

“So all this time the one who did all those things was Raline, not Naz, so all this time my buffalo was wrong to think Naz also loved me not just as his brother,,,,, so,,, and I love the wrong people, no way, no way, no way all these years I've loved the wrong people, Raline followed my orders because she was afraid of my threats, not because he loves me,, this is impossible,,,’”, Arsen muttered in his heart while rubbing his head rough because he did not believe the reality he had heard from Naz.

Naz holds Arsen's hands together, “Second should take responsibility for what Sister has done to Raline, she is pregnant with your child Sis, please don't let Raline experience what I'm going through, don't let that child like me get the insults and scorn from everyone because it hurts so much, Sis,, don't let any new grudges destroy our family again, I beg you,,, please,,, I beg you very much, marry Raline, if necessary, I will prostrate at your feet so that you will marry Raline,”, he said bowing his head with tears that continued to wet his cheeks.

Arsen was silent with various thoughts raging in his mind, about the new reality he knew from Naz, about the rape he had committed unknowingly, about Raline's pregnancy, not to mention he thought of his Mother who had just healed.

Arsen removed Naz's hand from his hand,“It was a great surprise to me, and I needed time to think about all this, Naz,,,, “, Arsen then got up and stood up,

“Don't tell this to Mommy, I don't want anything to happen again to Mommy because it's mu” said Naz who was still sitting without looking at Arsen.

“I'll go home,, “, he said.

Hardi immediately stood up and confronted Arsen, “ Arsen…. It's not finished yet, you don't just go.”.

“Mas Hardi,, let him go, give him time to reflect on his mistake”, Naz said.

“All right, but if you dare to run away, I'll make sure you'll be a fugitive cop”, Hardi poses a threat.

“Iya,, excuse me, he said then left the room and rushed out of the house by rubbing his face and holding his stomach that hurt.

Bruk …. Hearing the sound of something falling to the floor, Hardi and Arfin looked at the origin of the sound and it turned out that Mr. Syarief had fallen unconscious.

“Papa,,, “, he shouted, Hardi and Arfin immediately approached Sir Syarief who was lying down while holding his chest, Naz immediately stood rushing to his Papa. Hardi and Arfin immediately carried her to the room, and laid her on the bed, while Naz called the doctor.

Shortly the doctor came and immediately examined Mr. Syarief, who was just exhausted and his blood pressure rose, after giving a prescription medicine doctor was late to go home, and Hardi went straight to the pharmacy to buy the drug.

Arfin hugged his wife who came back crying because she felt very sad and devastated over the problems that befell her family, “Already,, don't cry anymore, every problem there must be a way out”, Arfin tried to calm his wife.

“It's all my fault,, try that night I didn't leave Raline alone in the hotel room, surely none of this would have happened, hiks,,, hiks,, now that his life has been destroyed by the person he loves so much,, hiks”, Naz feels very guilty.

“Ssssttt, already-don't blame yourself, everything has happened, maybe the path of destiny like this, you must be strong darling, you must strengthen Raline and your two parents, you must strengthen Raline, they are also very hit because of this problem”.

“I am also afraid of something happening to Mommy if you know this,, she will just recover,, what if Mommy is sick again,, hiks”.

“Don't think bad things baby, later we think about how to solve this problem together yes,, already yes, don't cry again”, he said kissing his wife's head,

“You know baby, after taking care of your conversation with Arsen earlier, it looks like Arsen was mistaken for you, he said, maybe he thinks you're the one who always does a lot for himself so he loves you, even though all that Raline does, means his love is misdirected,”.

Naz who began to stop crying let go of her husband's embrace, “I mean?”.

“So that means gini, if he loves that person because of that person's kindness and sacrifice for him, it means that he loves Raline and not you, because he mistakenly thinks that person is you, and that person is you, so she loves you, it means she's wrong to love people”, Arfin explained.

“Hah,,,,?? Yes, yes, Aa is right too, meaning that Raline's love has not clapped dong's hand,”.

“Perhaps it could be spelled out like that”.

“It looks like I have to talk about this with Brother Arsen, to straighten it”, Naz said.

“Talking the hell talk, don't kayak earlier, what the fuck is talking at a very close distance while holding his hand again, don't know if your husband's hand is already itching to hit him, but pity his face will not be recognized when he returned home”, grumbled Arfin.

“Aaaahhh, baby I'm sorry, I was reflex”.

“Hmmmmmm...”, Arfin even pouted.

“Ihh, don't do dong”, Naz suddenly kissed her husband's lips, and it turns out that the one who snogged even returned his kiss.

“If you want to make out don't be here, go to your room!!”, the sound surprised the two who immediately let go of their lips.
