The Lost Sense

Chapter 59

I hurriedly hid, behind the sofa when I heard Arby step out of the room. Following Bi Elis's hurried steps.

"Arby, I'm your mommy son, please mama. Or you want your sisters to lose their future." Bi Elis grabbed Arby's arm. Arby was silent for a moment, then forcibly removed Bi Elis' grip on his arm.

"Let go! my parents are Handoko sir and Betty's mother is not Elis and Defry." Arby brushed Bi Elis' arm off.

"Wait, Arby! Mama just wanted to ask for help, all this time you have lived well enough to be a child of the Handoko family. You should return the services of your mother, as a sign of your gratitude, not even like this you are arrogant to your parents,"

"When I can choose, I don't want to be born from the womb of a mother who can throw away her child. Then make it a dairy cow."

Plaque! a hard slap landed heavily on Arby's cheek.

"You're a real bad boy. You should be grateful to be able to live well. Otherwise you are already a fool. Because your birth I never expected. You have ruined my future, because your father was irresponsible, and instead went and married another woman. My life is ruined, it's all because of you!" the Bi Elis.

"Owh, so that's how it is in the end money talks. I was born because of a mistake my mother made by herself. So why should I be responsible. Isn't it funny, that she says aunt is my mother, even demanding revenge from her son that she threw away herself. It doesn't matter now, if it's 500 million in exchange for my mother giving birth to me. Okay, I'll meet mom's demands. But after this, get out of my life." I heard Arby's voice laden with wounds. What a hearty Aunt Elis, revealing Arby's past. Just to get his wish.

Especially because of using it to earn some money. Pawned his own affection. No matter how her son feels. Just for the money of 500 million, he revealed the secrets that accompanied his son so far.

"Let's just break even, By. I'm sorry if this hurts you, but it's worth what you've earned. Become the son of a rich man, and will certainly be his heir in the future. So, you should be grateful, "without guilt Aunt Elis continues to pour out word for word against Arby's feelings. I just heard from behind the couch, it hurt. What about Arby.

"Alright, Auntie call me your son, but Auntie used me for your greed. All my life I'm gonna hate you. Because your son you appreciate money. If my self-worth is just that 500 million dollars. Okay, I'll fulfill Aunt's wish, but, after this, go disappear from my sight. Otherwise, I'll do something that'll make Aunt regret her for the rest of Aunt's life." With a look full of wounds, Arby walked out of the house.

Aunt Elis, smile triumphantly!

"You're finally giving up, too, Arby. I'm tired of living poor, and I'm always jealous of your life. All this time you've been ignoring my life, when I told you I was your mother. You hate me because I threw you away.

I thought that once you knew I was your mother, you would love me, and be devoted to me. In fact, you just stay away and hate me. I waited years for you but you were even more engrossed in your own world.

From now on I will control your life. I've got one of your weaknesses, which will make you bow to your mother." a smile adorning Aunt Elis's face cast a shadow on her.

I was hiding behind the couch, recording everything he said. So Arby's been under Aunt Elis' pressure all along. Could that be the cause, Arby changed? Who used to be obedient and sweet, became an affair and did not care about his future.

Why Arby had been quiet all this time, why he didn't want to tell papa and mama. Is it because he doesn't want to make up the fight between Papa and Aunt Elis? Again, I feel confused.

I should be able to keep an eye on Arby, what he's gonna do. I was afraid that he would act determinedly to harm himself.

It seemed, Arby took Aunt Elis' words seriously. Unlike usual, Arby's hanging out with us tonight in the living room. He was kidding with both of my children. This certainly surprised mom and dad.

After a while, Arby held up to Mom and said something. I saw the look on my face cringing, and looked at Arby.

"Pa, here first," said the mother calling papa who was fun watching television. Papa stepped over to my mom, I also approached because I wanted to know what Arby was going to say.

"What's up, Ma?"

"Oh, kirain what, just talk about it. Is this about the offer, Papa yesterday?" delik papa while fixing his glasses. Mom and I looked at each other in wonder. " Women don't have to interfere, it's our business men," kekeh papa see my reaction and mama. We laughed, together.

"No, Pa. Nothing to do with it at all."

"Okay, what are you talking about, please." Tukas papa relaxed while crossing his legs.

"Before Arby apologized to papa and mama, because all this makes it difficult. Arby, realising he shouldn't have done all that, but Arby is very disappointed and needs an outlet.

"Hey, what the fuck is this, By. Cake is not you, take papa and mama mewek," suddenly papa interrupted Arby's speech, jokingly. Sekilals Arby wavering, for not expecting papa's words.

"Papa, listen to me, ah. Arby again this serious," said mama while patting papa's arm. Papa finally gestured for Arby to continue his speech.

"Do you and your mom know who my real parents are?" arby to the point. Make papa and mama jump in shock.

"Eeeh, this is a child why the hell, since earlier said weird," buy papa.

"Arby, what's wrong with you? I suddenly asked," exclaimed my mother.

I, too, quietly listened to the conversation, feeling shocked. In my mind I was thinking, is Arby going to talk frankly, tell papa and mama about Aunt Elis.

"Mom, answer honestly. Because Arby needs that answer right now" Arby said seriously.

Mama took her breath slowly. "I'm sorry, Mama, Arby. My mom and dad knew nothing about it. You mama found on the porch of the house, wrapped in cardboard. It was midnight, so mama didn't see anyone around the house, that time."

"Why? Is there anyone who claims to be your biological parents? Why not talk to us? Are they threatening you?" guess Papa.

"No, Pa. Arby asked because he wanted to know."

"Why are you asking about that now?" Papa looked at Arby with sharp eyes.

"Well, Arby was inspired by Brother Reny. Who knows Arby can also find my biological parents" said Arby.

"Mama didn't keep your stuff.it was just clothes attached to your body."

"Papa and Mama do not suspect, who knows there are families who have lost children or have just given birth to children. But, he didn't take care of his son."

"It's been years, Arby. Papa remembers, again about that."

"Mama just remembered, but she had a miscarriage she said. That's all mama knows, isn't it Pa?"

"who do you mean? Elise?" *****
