Thirty Nine (Series II)



Day


after Ellard brought Ara and her children back home, precisely in the week


this afternoon— Ara insisted on meeting with her family. The family that has


he left four years ago without ever saying goodbye or giving


news after years.


During


ara's four years were overshadowed by a great sense of guilt


his family. She is a disobedient princess


he never told his parents. Ara was well aware


he had sinned greatly, but his sudden departure was also not


no reason. He only chose to give up— to give up his happiness and not


want to let the child in the womb know how messy


the home life of their parents.


Unrest


it haunts as his feet approach the dining room. They are just less


a few steps, the conversation between Haris, Andin and Alex had also been heard


sayup-dyed. Ara stopped her steps, her courage evaporated. Ara squeezing


her dress— in heart kept wondering, How will her family react later


if you see him suddenly being here? They will hate him because


just left without news? Will he be forgiven?


Ellards


come stop in front of him— flips body.


“El…


I better not—“


“Come,”


“Nala


go first with Nathan and Clara, yes?” cut Ellard, no


heed Ara's words. The man said nothing but to lower


Nala from her sling and let her three children go first.


Ellard embraced Ara's waist and prevented her from entering.


Cardiac


Ara pumped hard, especially when the conversation that Ara had heard


disappear. The room was suddenly quiet. Everyone's views are now


directed at him. He is so scared now and only dares to stare at the floor—


not ready to see the look of hatred from his father and mother. Yet…


PRANGS


Glassware


the one being held by Andin fell down just like that not when his eyes whistled


with the daughter who had been so badly missed she was half dead. Andin's Face


it looked so pias, in shock with what he saw now.


“Yes,


God... Son, is that really you?” hoarse Andin while smothering his mouth is not


believing.


Ara


lifting face. Lungabaya woman who looks young is rising from


sitting there— crying, Andin stumbled around the dining table towards him.


While Haris and Alex, also seem to stand up from his seat, staring Ara with


similar expressions.


Andean


seeping Ara's face with trembling hands and a face that was filled with water


eye.


“It…


are you right, honey? Aurora's Mommy's daughter? Tell me, if Mommy's not


hallucinating now??” choking, the tone of Andin's voice increasingly crooked


Ara


shaking her head repeatedly, she also cried. Ara grasping


andin's hands and kissed her many times. “No, Mom. This is actually Aurora,


princess Mommy. Forgive Ara, Mom... sorry.” Ara lowered her head and sobbed violently.


No


hold on, Andin immediately hugged his daughter firmly. Both hugged


with a little bit of both. Andin also kissed the top of Ara's head repeatedly


times.


“No,


Nak. There's nothing to forgive. You're not wrong. Precisely all of this is


mommy's mistake is never knowing how much suffering you're going through


natural all this time. Mommy failed at being a parent, son.”


Within


his embrace, Ara shook her head strongly. “Neg. Mommy never fails. Precisely


thanks to remembering all of Mommy's advice, I was able to be strong and persevere. Please, please,


don't say that,”


“Nak..”


Greetings


that softness made Ara stop her crying voice instantly. It unravels


their embrace, turning toe— not far from before him Haris stood with the second


netra's already glazed.


“Finally


you go home, my Daughter,” hoarse Haris gently smile “Give Daddy a hug, please…


I miss you so much,” Haris spread out both hands


“Daddy..”.


sigh Ara weakly. Ara's tears were seeping again, but that was as fast as she was


she hugged Haris. Close-fitting. Sobbing there. Shedding all his misfortune.


“I’m


sorry, Dad.. I’m sorry.. I’m really sorry.”.


“Sshhh..,”


Haris sighed, stroking Ara's back one-handed. “Stop apologizing


continues. You are not wrong anything,” said Haris, taking off their embrace— stroked


ara's face, smiling haru. “malah Daddy who should be grateful. Accepts


thank you for coming home, and thank you for raising


daddy's grandkids very well.”


Ara


shaking, wiping her tears. “No, Dad... Daddy does not need berteri—“


“Hei, ,


bad brother! Aren't you going to give me a hug too?” alex with Selah


wet face whimpering. “Quick hug me too, naughty sister” Alex stretches


both hands.


Ara


rubbing his tears. He smiled and rushed straight in


in the warm embrace of my sister.


“I


miss you so much brother..” murmured Ara on Alex's chest


“I


with love and increasingly tightening his embrace. “I warn you.


to run away again.”


****


Subsequent to


after dinner, Alex asks Ellard to follow him to the rear gazebo to


speaking four eyes. All dinner last night Alex— as always


looks witty. But now there are only two of them, the usual look


looks that joke in a split second now looks dark and dark. Jawline


hardened while his hands clenched tightly— and the change did not escape


the sight of Ellard, who even now Alex was standing behind him.


“Ada


what do you want to say?” asked Ellard, completely unaffected by


change of sister-in-law.


“What


you happy now?” low, Alex asked back with the position still


turn your back


Without


asking, Ellard already understood the meaning of Alex's question. Ellard's advancing


a few steps until now both of them stand side by side. Both hands


stuffed into his pants pocket, while his gaze stared straight at the sky


nightly.


“Tanpa


I'm telling you you obviously know. There is no most


happy in my life when my wife and children come back to my side,”


Alex


looking over, looking at Ellard cynically. “Don't God be too kind to you?” sarcasm


Alex “after all the pain you inflicted on Ara.


alone, about to marry her secretly and then make my sister even more devastated


choose to go far with the fetus in its womb. Not just there, though,


you also produced a child of that cheap woman— and now


ask Ara to receive children from your dirty deeds— “


“Do not


involving Clara.” cut Ellard, slightly ignited “dia absolutely not


guilty”


Alex


snide laugh, “why? You still want to defend the bastard—“


BUGGGS


Only


in a matter of seconds, Alex's head had been pushed to the side due to a powerful fist


of Ellard.


“Already


I told you before, never mention Clara as an illegitimate child. You


may insult and beat me up, but never involve my daughter,” hiss


Ellard with glittering eyes


Alex


smirked cynically, while his hand rubbed the coarse blood from the corner


her lips.


“Then


what about the destruction of my sister, DAMN it?!”


BUGS…


BUGS…


Taut, taut,


Alex replies repeatedly— throws a fist at Ellard's face. Ellard's Body


it crashed onto the ground with Alex directly occupying his body and then back


lift the overlapping fist. Ellard didn't fight. He let


Alex vented all his anger.


“What


you think my heart doesn't hurt? when I realized too late that, without


to my knowledge Ara has suffered a lot because of you! For God shake, he was only twenty-one years old at that time,


but I have felt such great suffering. And worse, during


this Ara has hidden her pain from our own family.”


Breath


Alex gasps. He was so desperate when he spilled all his stuff. It is so


disappointed and feel like a failure as a brother when unable to protect the younger brother


as soon as he loved.


Subsequent to


quite satisfied and managed to master himself, Alex rose from the top of the body of the round


striple Ellard. His mouth and nose had been spitting out a lot of fresh blood—


splattered on the ground. Ellard no longer spoke, nor did she apologize


it won't be useful. Alex is angry. Alex is disappointed. He's too embarrassed


to defend yourself and explain everything.


Alex


take a few steps back, “I'm disappointed in you, El. I thought it was because of you


loving my sister too much, you won't hurt her. You really


********. I shouldn't have supported you to marry my sister.”


Ellards


silent, tongue my tongue. Alex's fist didn't feel any pain at all, but


his words were able to penetrate the deepest point of his heart. Apart from being a sister


brother-in-law, Alex was his best friend when he was in college together at Harvard


untilnow.  Alex is the one who


this is knowing how much he adored Ara from a long time ago, to come down


hands help her in getting Ara.


“Alex..”


lirih Ellard tried to make a sound in the middle of his entire body


throbbing pain “Sorry..pardon me.. I promise I won't hurt him again”.


Alex


turning his gaze in the other direction, pressing his eyes. “Prove. It's your chance


one last. I won't think twice more about separating you from him


if you go back to repeating your stupid mistakes.” Decide Alex, then go back in


into the house just like that without caring about Ellard who is now sprawled


wrenching.
