The Married With Ketos

Follow Dad?

Agam activity managed to stop because of that, his forehead twitching confusedly staring at Gilbert. "Elard, who?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot he used a fake identity in this country. Samuel, the one school with you, was originally called Gelard. Him, your sister."

"Sister?"

Gilbert nodded his head. "He who has harmed you and your wife all this time."

"Well he's my sister, why do I and Bia harm him? what is our fault?" tanya Agam did not think.

"She didn't mean to, rather she just hated you but Bianca as your wife was dragged along."

"But why? what reason?" It's really confusing. Have Brother? Agam never knew that fact, but why he had to bear the hatred of someone whose presence he did not even know.

"She-always blames you for her mother's death."

"My mother didn't know me, why did she suddenly blame me for her death?"

"I'll tell you about it, but it'll take a while, you don't mind?" Agam nodded steadily, he was curious.

"Well, that's your will."

Exhaling for a moment Gilbert began his nostalgia, "Not long after being abandoned by your mother, my family suddenly brought a weak woman to carry on the family lineage. I balked, but my family insisted until I relented. And finally, I married her."

"To be honest I had no intention of touching him, but one night my cunning family trapped me with stimulants until I finally spent the first night with my wife, her name was Jane. And apparently the dark incident presents Elard."

"Although our marriage was not based on love, we still love Elard. So, we pretended to be a harmonious family in front of him so that he could feel the happiness of a complete family like his peers."

"But it only lasted until he was fifteen years old. She accidentally overheard a conversation Jane and I had about her mother being kicked out by my family because she had gotten her offspring. And also the fact that hit him the hardest was that I had another child out of wedlock and that's you."

"I discussed it with Jane but Jane said it was okay because she was also pregnant out of wedlock from her lover's child but she lost her child before birth. Even in the middle of our marriage, she's still in touch with her lover."

"In other words, he doesn't mind me having another child out of wedlock and I'm the same, don't blame him for being in a relationship with another guy because we don't love each other at all despite spending a long time together. But, the other thing with Elard."

Faithful listening to Gilbert's long words. Little by little, he began to understand.

"More when his mother suddenly became depressed. Where at that time Jane lost her son from her lover again who was in the middle of her birth, on the other side of the family I drove him away when he had no destination, his family sold him to our family."

"Because of all the pressure, until finally he was depressed and committed suicide from an apartment building."

"Elard who witnessed firsthand at the scene where the fall of his mother became very hard hit. From there, he placed great hatred on you. For thinking his mother was depressed to suicide because of knowing the existence of you as my son out of wedlock. In fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"Udah countless times I tried to convince him that his mother's death had nothing to do with you, but he did not believe it. Elard was sure that I said that just because I wanted to protect you when it was the truth."

"Darling, are you awake?" Agam stroked the cheek of the puffed up Bianca who had just woken up from her sleep, "Not yet." she rubbed her eyes.

"Well, that's why I woke up." Bianca rents and wakes up helped by Agam. Bianca's gaze circulated sweeping the luxurious room, apparently she fell asleep here. "Dad, where?"

"Again above." Agam immediately held Bianca tightly to make Bianca so confused at once, because the embrace of Agam like people who will separate from each other, "Bi. after graduating high school, Dad wanted me to continue education in France.."

Bianca's heart suddenly raced in a rhythm faster than usual. He did not return Agam's embrace, "D-in France?" tanyanya. Did Agam say he was going to leave himself for France?

Agam unraveled the embrace and removed the strands of Bianca's hair that were bothering his face, he did not reply with words but with a nod.

"So, you're gonna leave me?" Bianca's eyes glazed over, making Agam so unable to see her.

"It's not that you're Bi. I want to invite you, but-I don't want you to be involved in danger.."

"Certain, how am I? you gonna leave me?" Bianca's tears shed, Agam quickly wiped them away.

"We can LDR" he said earnestly.

Bianca brushed aside Agam's hand and shuffled slightly away from Agam, "You know, many relationships are broken just because they can't afford LDR, sister.." she said nanar. He could not imagine what his life would be like if he were not with Agam by his side.

Shifting closer to Bianca, Agam took Bianca's hands gently for her to hold. Several times he landed a kiss on the back of Bianca's hand. "You can, I want to keep you together Bi. But, my place is not here. I don't want to keep taking papa.mumpung now I've met my father, I have to come with him after finishing my education here.."

"Is that more important than me? why would you prefer to leave me?" Bianca panned Agam full of disappointment, her heart ached. After a long time Agam made his days colorful and now he chooses to leave it? this is the most bitter reality that Bianca can get.

Bianca knew she was selfish all along. But can he be selfish again this time? he did not want to be far from Agam.

Not the article of trust, honestly Bianca personally believe in Agam. The point is time. As time goes on there will still be something called bored in every relationship. While a close partner can sometimes saturate what else is only communication through technology.

LDR is hard. Only a certain couple can get through it. And Bianca wasn't in that. He could not believe himself whether his feelings were still the same intact after Agam returned or vice versa.

"For a while not forever. If I am strong and successful, I will definitely be back. You can go to your Father and Mother in America." said Agam reassured.

Agam draped his jacket over Bianca's gloomy-looking shoulders. After they say goodbye to Gilbert, they finally walk to the mansion grounds to the Agam motorbike.

"Bi. don't be moody mulu dong. ayok smile.." Agam pulled both corners of Bianca's lips to force her to smile, but for now Bianca really had no mood even if she just lifted her lips. He just gave the joker's smile to Agam.

Seeing that made Agam think, was his decision the best?

"Sir, go home.." Bianca pulled the side of Agam's shirt which revealed a light smile to her. "Look, yeah.."

Agam riding on a motorbike followed by Bianca, the roar of the motor was heard after Agam turned on his motorbike and passed away from there.

If usually the routine Bianca embraced Agam on the way then many jokes that adorn, this time not. His vibes felt different than usual, they were just a thousand languages silent and hugs were not applied.
