The Unmissed Family

End of Story

"For almost three years Anika lived in agony and was blamed for mistakes she never made." Elena took a deep breath before continuing her story, "Rendra kept coming home late into a drunken state. Until finally Anika heard the news that, Rendra impregnated another woman who is now already his wife, namely Rani."

The emperor widened his eyes in disbelief, he tightened his teeth before saying, "Suck! It turns out that Papa is that low?!"

"Then why is it that Mama still survives?" Asked the Emperor again, his tone slightly raised.

Elena closed her eyes and replied, "He's holding on for you." Answer in a soft voice.

The emperor turned his eyes away and there was a hint of clear liquid coming out of his eyes.

"So all this time Kai's been a burden to Mama, tan?" Asked the Emperor in a soft voice.

Elena shook her head repeatedly, "No dear, don't ever think like that! Precisely you are a force for Anika, because there you are she is able to survive until this second."

"But Mama doesn't have to be like this, she can leave at any time. Maybe if Mama wanted to go, the situation is not as bad as it is now. And we can certainly live happily even without Papa."

"Tante knows it's kid, but it's not that simple. Do you know what your mom is like? She was a woman who was always firm with her stance." Kasiar clucked in annoyance after hearing Elena's words.

"You don't want to leave until the truth is revealed, he doesn't want to live in Rendra's hatred. Anika is not wrong Kai, for that he does not want to go and give up and be blamed continuously. If Anika leaves, not necessarily the problem will be solved and just disappear. It could be that Rendra will complicate Anika's life even worse than this." Elena.

"And even if your Mama has to leave, at least she can show the truth even if it's just a little bit and Rendra doesn't hate her too much." Obviously Elena again.

The Emperor was seen sighing repeatedly to hold back his tears, Elena who saw that patted the Emperor's shoulder gently.

"Cry, it's okay to wipe everything with tears." Elena said in a soft voice, she was sad to see her best friend's family destroyed.

Finally the Emperor cried as his hands covered his face.

The Emperor shook his head weakly, "Auntie is coming home, Kai still wants to wait for Mama."

Elena took a deep breath before saying, "Son, your mama is fine, here is a aunt who can take care of Mama. You have to go to school, right?"

The Emperor turned to Elena, "Oh, no school permits today. Kai wants to wait for Mama to wake up first." Anika was unconscious until then.

"But Kai..." Elena had yet to finish her words before being cut off by the Emperor.

"Please tan, just today. Emperor promised."

Elena actually disagreed, however the Emperor's duty was to school, but because the Emperor forced Elena to agree to it too.

"Alright, but there's one condition. Today you may not be allowed to go to school, but you must first go home and clean yourself and eat!"

The Emperor wanted to answer but Elena first said, "Don't refuse!" Say it firmly.

"All right." The Emperor replied weakly, he was about to stand up but it was not because of Elena's words.

"One more thing Kai, don't discuss this in front of Anika. He's still in shock and shouldn't have much of a thought."

"Emperor tau aunt. Then, the Emperor will come back here again." Emperor Saying.

Elena smiled then replied, "Yes, the aunt will take care of Mama. Go home, don't forget to eat!"

The emperor nodded slowly then said, "The emperor goes first tan."

"She be careful on the road." Answer Elena.
