"Yes, it turns out papa, still remember." said mama.
"Aunt Elis, why the miscarriage, Ma?" I ask that from then on just listen.
"Let's see, Mama doesn't know the real story. You see papa was angry with Aunt Elis, because she was pregnant out of wedlock. His girlfriend, even married another woman. Aunt Elis was the same Papa always clashed, not wanting to hear your papa's advice. Until that happened. Mom was also a messian at the time, but papa was too hard."
I looked at Arby, reading his facial expression. But obviously I saw that he was trying to maintain his attitude, so that my mom's story didn't affect him.
"Papa was forced at that time, all for the good of your aunt. Whenever advised, always refute. Papa finally hands off, no matter what he wants to do. Why, By? Do you think you have a relationship with your aunt? Did someone threaten you?" cecar papa looked at Arby full of probes. A sharp instinct, if Arby is still a snot boy, do not wait twice must confess.
"No pa, I'm just wondering," as I thought Arby quickly denied. From papa's suspicions.
But, unexpectedly! Out of nowhere and since when he eavesdropped on our conversation, a voice suddenly struck the room.
"Well, right! He has a relationship with me. He is my son, your own nephew Handoko!"
If lightning had struck that night, we would not have been surprised, but upon hearing that word, all of us in the room were shocked as if struck by lightning.
Moreover, Papa, he stood up and looked at Aunt Elis with a blasphemous look.
"You're shocked, brother. Turns out, the child you denounced was in my womb, it was the sister who nurtured him into adulthood." Aunt Elis lightly spoke and approached us. I glanced at Arby, his face fickle between pale and reddish.
The room that was warm now feels cold, like a massacre just happened. The scent, the furious gunpowder began to smell, ignited from the sparks ignited, Aunt Elis.
Two men of different generations, with one expression, held in anger, landing fixedly on Aunt Elis' face.
"Whatchu mean? Very presumptuous you step on my house as if this house is a discotheque," said Papa growled.
"Personality with all manners. I came here just dealing with Arby."
"Arby is our son, what you have to do with him" said Mama.
"Sister-in-law, don't interfere in our family business."
"If it's about my children and my family, you have no right to forbid me" she said. I immediately rubbed my mom's arm trying to calm her down.
"Auntie, speak carefully. I mean, what auntie means is that these nights," I said.
"Enough! Shut the fuck up, Crispy. Everyone you can fool, but I will never be able to accept your presence in this house."
"Don't switch the topic, Lis. Crisp business is my family business. It's not your realm to argue whether he deserves to be in this house or not. What do you mean, Arby's your son. Legally he is our son." said papa firmly.
"Come, Auntie, we're out." Suddenly Arby drags Aunt Elis' arm out of the room, but is blocked by papa.
"Arby, wait! Let your aunt explain what she means." Aunt Elis brushed off Arby's grip on her arm. Arby was silent, apparently not intending to protest. Could it be that he saw the situation just now talking.?
"Yes, Arby is my son. I accidentally put it on the porch that night. In order for you to adopt him," Bi Elis calmed down. "That night, after two weeks I gave birth to her, I put her on the porch of my sister's house. Because after all, I don't want to be bothered by a baby yet. And you have lost your child, would it not be better to adopt my child" Aunt Elis said without burden.
"Then, now what do you mean tell us all this. Why didn't you just talk? Mother-hearted demon! proudly you admit your actions as if you were selling jengkol. Don't you consider what Arby feels like, if he's really your son!" talk papa with rage.
"He is my son!"
"Then, why did you dump him all this time! Why do you admit it now!" papa said blaring. "I think that after you make one mistake, you will learn from that mistake. You actually wallow there."
"Papa, patience. Remember your heart" said the worried mama. Fear of something happening if you are too emotional. "Elis, you why the hell, always make a mess in this house. Why are you just now claiming to be Arby's mother. If he has you throw away first, why only now do you regret it. Eits, don't tell me you're sorry, I know your bad habits.
Surely you've been inciting Arby all this time, so he's been a messy kid. Not thinking about his future. But, it won't diminish our love for her."
"You're too much, Elis," suddenly papa's breath was cut off. Arby and I rushed over to Papa, who pressed his chest to the left. Mom panicked to see Papa's condition.
"Now Aunt is satisfied, yes! This is what Auntie wants. Aunt wants to destroy this family. Right now, get out of here. Go!" said Arby rudely. Mama immediately took papa's medicine and drank it. After a few seconds, the drug reaction made papa calm down again.
"Since when did you know that, your aunt was your real mother, By," asked papa after feeling calm again.
"Not long, Pa."
"Then, why don't you ever tell me about this. Did your mother blackmail you until you spoke seriously?" search papa. Arby's just silent but I'm sure Arby's not doing well right now.
"Arby, one thing you need to know, whoever your parents are, it won't change our affection for you. But about Elis, another thing. Papa will never change his attitude as long as he continues to act and does not apologize" he said.
"Father, thank you for loving me, Arby. Earlier Arby meant to say goodbye to papa and mama, as well as sister Reny. I've made the decision, to leave for a while. That way I hope Aunt Elis will stop acting because I'm out of here. But before that, let me fulfill his request first. That's why I asked papa for help."
"What help?"
"I need 500 million, Pa."
"500 million? For Elis or for you?"
"For, Aunt Elis."
"Hem, he's really demon-hearted! How dare you blackmail your own child. Okay, you just fulfill his wish. I want to see where the power of money is in his hands. About your plan, papa agrees. Do what you think is best. Whatever it is, papa will be ready to support you"
"I still have to talk about it with my friends. After everything's done, I'll tell papa."
"You're sure of your plan, By. Wouldn't you rather help your papa work in papa's company. Along with your brother, Reny,"
"No Arby won't, Ma. But, Arby, wants to start from the basics. Fight from zero" Arby said solemnly.
"Alright, mama believes you can definitely do that. The prayers of mom and dad will be with you. ***
