“Excuse ..”
“Ya?”
“You, Kevia?”
“Iya ..”
“Hai! ..”
(Yates reached out his hand to shake, following a friendly greeting with a smile)
“Hai”
(The woman named Kevia welcomed Andrea's hand while standing from her seat ).
“Sorry, who are you?” (Task Kevia).
“I Andrea”
“Andrea..”.
“Andrea Smith's. Nathan's sister. You know Nathan?”
“Nathan?”
“Jonathan Smith. Know right?”
“Iya knows. Ever known”
- - -
(Andrea was sitting across from the lady named Kevia whom she came to, after the woman
let him sit politely ).
“Eat?”
(Kevia offers a friendly smile when her order food comes ).
“Iya, please. I also ordered”
“I ate first then”
(Yates nodded with a smile).
(Eastrich food was not long in coming. Ammar delivered to him, then told to stay away again by Andrea ).
“You, how do you know me?. I guess we never met before” (Kevia paused her meal ).
“I know you from photos that are on Nathan”'s phone
“Oh”
“Includes your story”
(Kevia looked a little stunned. But then he smiled).
“Oh yes? Which one?”
“Story you and Nathan”
“Oh” (Kevia answered calmly, with a smile she has always shown Andrea since they
start talking ). “Jo the story?” (Tanya Kevia, looked at Andrea for a while and then bribed her food back).
“Bukan”
“Then from whom?” (Task Kevia again ).
“Sister Rendy”
“Rendy Ivander, Cardiologist, son of Doctor Alan Ivander?”
“Iya”
“You know Rendy's sister too?” (Kevia still asked, Andrea nodded while eating also her food and noticed the naturally beautiful and so calm woman ).
“Sister Rendy my husband's friend. His parents knew my family well too”
“Hmm ..”
( Kevia mangosteen – mangosteen ).
“So Rendy already knows that Jo and I have been in contact?”
“Maybe not. I just made sure of that time. I recognized your face when you met Brother
Rendy was at the Hospital Coffee Shop when my husband and I were about to go home. That's why I found out, because memorize your face that I saw on Nathan's phone.”
“Hmm ..”
“I've heard your story, long ago. When you go disappear and papa you look for you”
“Oh yes, Mr. Mustafa will know yes with your family”
( Andrea was silent for a moment while looking at Kevia who called his father ‘Pak’ ).
“I don't know too much about Mustafa, nor do I want to ask about your family problems. There's something else I want to ask”
“What?”
“About you and Nathan”
(Kevia was silent for a moment)
“What do you want to ask?”
“About the extent of your relationship. Sorry, if this question is a little or very personal for you”
“We once dated” (Sahut Kevia calmly while looking at Andrea ). “Not long but” (Connect Kevia ).
“Then?”
“What?”
“How far?”
“........”
“Sorry, but Brother Rendy said you were pregnant in second grade High School?. Is that true?” ( Andrea asked doubtful – in doubt, afraid Kevia felt uncomfortable and offended by her question ). "Sorry that I'm sassy"
(However the woman smiled calmly and shadyly).
“Iya, benar”
“What ...”
“Annya Jo”
*****
“ENOUGH!”
“WHAT'S ENOUGH?! THAT'S ENOUGH FOR LO, A BAD**NGAN WHO'S BEEN RAVAGING A GIRL UNTIL SHE'S PREGNANT! YES RIGHT?!”
Nathan really swallowed his saliva. Looking at Andrea with all her surprise. How Andrea knew, while Nathan never told anyone but his heart. Andrea and Kevia also did not know each other and never even met each other, chatting even though by message or phone was not.
So how does Andrea know? About what he kept for about four years so closely? – Nathan with his mind.
“Lo ..”
continuing sentence. “Jawab Than! Really right?”
“Not that lo business, Drea.”.
“Tega Lo ya Than?. You have the heart to let Kevia luntang – hanging outside while you live happily here,
after what you did with him? As-cowardly and as-**that bastard turns out, lo Than?”
“Enough Drea, Enough I said!”
“HOW CAN IT BE ENOUGH IF THE SISTER I ADMIRE, UNTIL SUCH LOWLY?!”
“Hey, Hey, Little Star.
Varen came in haste after hearing Andrea's louder screams than before,
after – lamat Varen heard from the main workspace.
“MANA CAN BE ENOUGH IF THERE IS A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN BROKEN TO PREGNANCY AND YOU IGNORE IT UNTIL SHE DESERVES TO LIVE A LIFE THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OUT THERE HUH?!”
“A-pa.??” Varen was shocked to hear Andrea's words while hugging his little wife whose eyes began to turn red
here are the tears that came down her cheeks. “Th-an..??? Is that right Than?.”
Nathan froze in his place. His mouth was silenced, with his eyes that began to turn red and glazed – glass.
“Have a heart anyway lo Tan? .. That's enough if you don't run away from responsibility! That's enough if when you know Kevia is pregnant you are not...”.
“A – pa??.”
The voice made Nathan, Andrea and Varen instantly turn their heads. Mama Jihan's there, standing with that face
surprised not to play. Shock, looking at Nathan with a very difficult gaze to describe.
Mama Jihan froze in her place as well. Not only him, but also Daddy Jeff, along with his other family who had been in Nathan's room and on the doorstep. Nathan's face should not be asked.
“True..it's Nathan? ...”
“Ma ..”.
“Mama asked, right? what did Drea say?!” Mama Jihan is in front of Nathan. Striking both of his eldest son's arms hard while shaking him.
Nathan gulped down his saliva, looked at the mother who had lowered her tears and looked at her
frustratingly.
“ANSWER!”
Nathan paled, and he choked.
“Jawab Than.. I'm the one who mispronounced and accused, or is it all true? Kevia running away isn't just a problem
his family, but since you've impregnated him!” Andrea made a sound again, with Varen holding her.
“JONATHAN SMITH! ANSWER!” Mama Jihan is getting hysterical, Daddy Jeff is holding her.
Mama Jihan was unsteady in her establishment, as her eldest son bowed and nodded lethargicly.
“ASTAGFIRULLAH NATHAAANN!!....”
It was more hysterical that Mama Jihan was now looking at Nathan with anger mixed with wounds. Then she broke out in her tears. Aina was about to approach the Mama, the little girl cried to see the Mama who looked hysterical. But Grandma Yuna immediately carried him, with Mami Prita carrying the sisters to her room, assisted also by Mika.
“I..”
THE PLAQUE!
Mama Jihan's hand landed on Nathan's cheek so tightly. Daddy Jeff squealing.
“Ji!.” Daddy Jeff clutched his broken wife in his tears and hysteria.
Andrea, Varen and Papi who were there were stunned to see Mama Jihan who was hysterical and floated
he slapped Nathan on the cheek. Andrea feels bad, but what Nathan has done is a big mistake, right?.
Nathan needs to be taught a lesson, because Kevia needs justice from Nathan's irresponsibility.
Although the woman named Kevia itself seems no longer to bother.

“Sorry, but Brother Rendy said you were pregnant in second grade High School?. Is that true?”
“Iya, benar”
“What ...”
“Annya Jo”
“Ya Tuhaann..
“Terror of adolescence.”
“So you left because of that?
“One of them”
“Why not force Nathan to take responsibility? If you come to us, at least you
no need to be difficult like all this time”
“I don't want to force someone who isn't ready to be a father. That's it”
**
“We talk under”
Daddy Jeff makes a sound. Still holding Mama Jihan who had been crying in her arms.
A moment later, Daddy Dewa and Mom Ichel came along with faces full of question marks.
Somehow painted Jeff's heart this time. History seems to repeat itself, making Daddy Jeff's heart feel rematable, there are disappointments and regrets there. Disappointed in the Son, and regret for him. Karma – right?
Daddy Jeff felt like a failure, a failure as a father to Nathan. Facts about Nathan and what
already he did and his son was silent, even his attitude all this time as usual. Really nothing to suspect, is the failure that Daddy Jeff felt.
Why did Nathan have to follow the trail of evil for his past behavior?. But worse, Nathan seemed to be deliberately off the responsibility, if the words of Andrea again, the depiction is like that.
Nathan's girlfriend is far away, until impregnating people's children, off responsibility, to the girl who
nathan's impregnation then went and disappeared, because of the disgrace that Nathan inscribed on him.
Not only Mama Jihan who already looks so shocked. Daddy Jeff was shaken.
**
Dinner time came, but Nathan and all who were supposed to be were sitting in the dining room in the residence
The main one doesn't gather there. Their stomachs feel full already.
The sisters, including Mika, brought the food to their room. Three sisters and five adults are in the living room.
Nathan is in court. Trial of his guilt and sin, which he had just broken
Andrea. Nathan is not angry with Andrea. It's over, maybe it's time.
That burden was Nathan too.
His guilt towards Kevia, following his regret but he has not shown that remorse with action. Sad to know that Kevia is gone, Nathan is looking for her, but he is trying to be alone. Not trying to ask for help from the Daddies or even the brother who certainly can easily help find Kevia that Nathan is looking for –.
Only – points because Nathan is not ready. – alibi. If his parents and family knew, well like what Andrea said, how good* it was. For what Nathan did to Kevia, Nathan hates him. Who can cover up his terrible ugliness by showing a very ordinary attitude before them.
Four years he was silent about his act of impregnating a girl, then when the girl left Nathan
as if ignoring – cowardice isn't it?. Nathan was well aware of that. If he is a coward and a man, as Andrea said.
To be continue ...
