The Secret Marriage of a Couple of High School Children

Papa Aryan

Because Ayura also did not know who was knocking on the door of her room, finally Ello inevitably got out of bed and rushed to see who was coming.

As soon as the door opened, Ello frowned as he looked at Papi Genta who was already standing in front of the room door.

"But bother you?" asked Papi Genta while glancing into the room whose main lights had been turned off and left a dim light from the sleeping lights.

"No pi, no bother. Ello wasn't asleep either" replied Ello. "What's pi?"

"Below is your papa. He said he wanted to see you," said Papi Genta explained his purpose to Ayura's room.

"I mean Papi, Papa Arya downstairs?" ask Ello to make sure.

"Yes. Arya downstairs, I want to talk to you. Try to meet. Who knows it's important" Papi Genta ordered.

"But Ello went into the room broke ya pi. Pamit with Ayura," said Ello gave him permission to meet his wife.

"Ayura hasn't slept?"

"Not Pi."

"Yes let Papi talk about Ayura. You go down and meet your papa. I think he wants to talk important until the malem-malem is designed here," said Papi Genta. And a nod of the head by Ello.

"Ello go down first pi" said Ello. He was quite curious as to why Papa Arya wanted to see him. Did something bad happen to Mama Rani or sister Fano? Thinking about it made Ello come down the stairs with a little run.

Ello looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the living room sofa with his head down. From a distance Ello can see if at this time Papa Arya looks to be daydreaming, even his arrival seems not to disturb him at all.

"Pa.." call Ello as she sits on the sofa right in front of Papa Arya. Ello looked at the papa who was silent and did not answer.

Ello is still silent and notices Papa Arya who is currently still wearing the same clothes as Papa Arya was wearing a few hours ago while at the police station. But this time the appearance of Papa Arya looks very different. Papa Arya's clothes look very tangled and her hair is messy. Very contrary to the appearance of Papa Arya who usually looks neat and fragrant.

"Papa.." call Ello again while holding Papa Arya's hand.

Papa Arya flinched from her daydream as she felt a soft touch in her hand.

Indeed, since then Papa Arya just silent and still think about the speech of his sister-in-law a few hours ago. Even Satria's words from then on kept circling in his head.

The Flashback

Papa Arya could only silence hearing Om Satria's words. He realized that what his sister-in-law said was true. He was too focused on Fano and seemed to not care about Ello.

Even since stepping on the bench of Junior High, Papa Arya seemed to keep a distance with the youngest son. Papa Arya who incidentally has a private school of International class as if embarrassed to have children whose hobby is only playing games. Confined in a room and when reprimanded, Ello will definitely leave the house and will not go home for days.

And now papa Arya understands. He should not compare his two sons. Because each child has its own shortcomings and advantages. And the most important thing is whether his son is happy with what he is living now or not.

"Fano and Ello shouldn't have Papa like Aryan. It's a pity that my two nieces are victims of a crazy old man of praise like Mas Arya" said Satria, who was unconscious. He was also crazy about respect.

"Close your mouth Satria" Papa Arya jolted in a raised voice. Although what is said by Om Satria is true, but somehow Papa Arya felt unacceptable.

"What would you like? Hajar me? Hajar aja mas. Everything that happened to Fano and Ello was due to Aryan mistakes," said Om Satria with a voice no less high. From the beginning he was deliberately provoking Papa Arya's anger. But in fact, all of that failed. Because Papa Arya was silent with a million guilt in his heart.

"Mending Mas Arya get out of here. I'm sick of seeing that pretentious face," when Om Satria kicked Papa Arya out.

Papa Arya stood up from her seat. "Make sure you receive the punishment you should have received long ago."

After saying that papa Arya went out of the interrogation room. Even when outside Papa Arya did not heed the cry of Ello who kept calling him.

Papa Arya drove his car at high speed without a destination. He was angry, really angry at himself.

Had he not retracted Satria's demands at the time, Fano might not have been lying in a coma in the hospital. If only he could be fair to his two sons, there might not be any loot so far between him and Ello. Say it and maybe just keep spinning in his head. Makes Papa Arya feel really fed up with herself.

The night is getting late, the streets are starting to quiet, papa Arya chose to pull his car over on the side of the road. Undescended, Papa Arya actually opened his phone. Honestly speaking Om Satria really made him curious. Seviral was his youngest son whom he always underestimated.

He played a video on the youtube channel of one of the private televisions that broadcast the E-sport competition that Ello participated in.

"Here Ello just wants to say happy birthday to papa. This trophy is special Ello Persembahin for papa birthday gift. Hopefully with this trophy papa can see Ello as a child who can be a little proud," said Ello in the video.

Papa Arya is frozen. Tears had already seeped out from the corner of his eyes. "Stupid you stupid Aryan. You see now? The child you always underestimate turns out to love you so much" muttered Papa Arya. This is the first affectionate phrase that papa Arya has heard in the past six years. Yes, the last time Ello told her that he loved her just before the national exam in elementary school.

Because after seeing Ello's test score is far from perfect, Papa Arya often compares Ello with her brother. Until it ends with him who is increasingly far from the youngest son.

Flashback Off

"Pa, why is Papa nyari Ello malem-malem? Did something happen to Mama or brother Fano?" ask Ello to worry. But instead of answering the son's question, Papa Arya was actually gathered in front of Ello.

"Lord......"
