UPIK ABU & HANDSOME CEO

The Painful Past.

"Ma..."

Follow me, we'll talk somewhere else. Did you bring a car?" The woman cut off the conversation Aryo asked her. Aryo nodded his head.

"Let's get out of here, let's use your car. I don't want any acquaintance of my husband to see me familiar with you."

Aryo felt a pain in her heart when the biological mother she was waiting for spoke like that to her. He felt his presence was not desired by his mother.

"You are quite successful as well apparently, can have a luxury car like this" said the woman when sitting in Aryo's car.

"This is my boss' car" said Aryo flatly

Actually the car that Aryo was driving was his own. Aryo has a fairly large income as a member of Dimas especially now Aryo has been trusted to hold his own company. Not to mention the income he made for carrying out Grandpa's orders. There were also some jobs from the underworld that he sometimes took.

Grandpa Dimas also actually spoiled Aryo with various luxurious facilities. He already considers Aryo like his own son. So did Dimas who actually considered Aryo as his brother.

But Aryo still keeps his limits, he always calls Dimas the Boss or Master. A call that Dimas disliked. But Dimas is tired of constantly asking Aryo to call him by name but always ignored Aryo. Unlike Grandpa Dimas, Aryo can act ordinary without keeping his distance from the old man. Grandpa is the father figure for Aryo.

The woman smiled as if she was underestimating Aryo. Aryo who began to be uncomfortable with his mother's attitude, no longer spoke. He was preoccupied with a million questions in his mind. Until he got to where he was headed, no one spoke.

Aryo stopped his car where his mother wanted it after a one-and-a-half hour drive. It was a beach located on the border of the city.

They got out of the car, set foot to the shore. The beach conditions are quite quiet, although it looks some fishermen who began to pull the boat.

"You remember this is the beach we used to visit on your sister's birthday or on your school holidays if you won the class."

"Mama remembers it all. Then where's my sister now Ma, how's she doing? She must have grown into a beautiful girl" Aryo seemed happy because her mother remembered their past.

"Many memories that we start on this beach, ranging from fun to very terrible things happen here. Let's end all our memories here."

"What do you mean Ma."

"Forget it, forget you ever had a mother and a sister. Let's just say we're dead and living your life as before. Like when we're no longer with you. Because I thought you were dead that night."

"What do you mean Ma"

"Don't pretend not to know, the day we last met on that fateful night we made a deal. There is no relationship between us. And I'm grateful to you for helping me kill those bastard men. Didn't you also tell me that it was as payment for your debt to me for giving birth to you."

"A-what do you mean Ma what murder and what deal."

"Did you forget you killed 4 men that night. You didn't just chop their bodies, you even burned their charred bodies in this place, right over there, near that big coconut tree. Did you forget?" The woman pointed to a place a little far from where they were standing at the moment.

"But still, I hate you, everything that happens because of you. If you weren't in my womb. I'm not going to experience all this. You're a monster hiding behind a human body. You don't deserve to stand next to me. You're just a child of rape and you have every right to demand that I treat you as my son. With me maintaining your existence and giving birth to you it is already the greatest gift for you.

"Stop Ma, stop me please stop" Aryo cried holding her throbbing head violently. Not only did his head hurt but he also felt pain in his chest. His chest ached as if thousands of daggers pierced his heart.

"The same thing as the last night of our meeting. You're the child I never wanted, the child born of rape, the child who causes prolonged suffering."

"No, stop Ma. Stop saying. I know you love me. All this time you must have been forced to leave me because I forced you. I know, Dad hates me because I'm not his real son. But take it easy Ma, now that I'm a big boy and able to protect you and your sister from her cruelty."

"Did you forget that you killed that man and his three friends. You killed your sister's real father. Do you think your sister will forgive you if you find out you killed her real father. Even if you killed that man to protect me, but your sister doesn't know the facts and the truth. I won't say anything nice to her about you. Because I hate you as much as I hate that bastard who raped me. Destroying my future, ruining my life."

"No, that's not true. You love me, I'm your son. Your proud son, you love me, you love me..." Aryo shouted while covering his ears he could not hear the words of hatred that came out of the lips of the woman he so longed for Tears continued to flow down his cheeks.

"If your father hadn't raped me and caused my pregnancy. My parents didn't have to be forced to marry me off to a man they just met. Your father ruined my life and just disappeared. And you, you're the source of the disaster for me. Source suffering. Get rid of you, get out of my life and my daughter's forever.

Aryo cried Pilu, he did not accept with all the words of his mother. Because all this time in his memory is the beautiful memories of his mother and sister. Their happy smiles and laughter.

Aryo forgot a lot of facts because of the tragic incident that he experienced that night. He only remembers what he wants to remember. And erases some of the bad memories he doesn't want to remember. That's how he protects himself. The defense system he formed to protect his feelings so as not to be injured.

Aryo's mother continues to vent her anger, letting go of all the burdens of her mind, her disappointment, and her pain. Without caring for Aryo who was actually also injured. Aryo is also a victim at this time. Victim's mother's hatred for her father's fault.

Aryo who could not stand the hatred of his mother felt tremendous pain. He again felt his head throbbing violently like he wanted to break. He fell down in a tight position, holding his head. He cried in pain, Sick because the woman he missed turned out not to want him at all.

The images of forgotten memories appeared in his head one by one. Stringing up a bloody event, which forces him to commit a murder. Events that led to the appearance of Key's new character. A name feared in the underworld for its notorious cruelty.

Aryo's mother leaves Aryo just like that, after she vents her emotions. He contacted a transportation application.

Forgive me for hurting you, your face reminds me of that rapist. Sorry for not being able to accept your presence. This is best for both of us, the inner woman.

It just passed by, without looking at it. In fact he also felt a tremendous pain, treating his own son like that. But his hatred and his heartache outweighs his affection. He wants to get out of there immediately. Seeing his son's current condition would only weaken his defense.

He hates, really hates it because the more mature Aryo has the exact same face as the rapist. Hate because her pregnancy brought a lot of misery to her. Not to mention the insults and scorn he received from the surrounding people. As a result of pregnancy without a husband until forced to marry the wrong person. Add to his suffering and pain. And now she was happy, had a husband who loved her and was in spite of her suffering. He did not want Aryo's presence to bring misery back for him.

Aryo who continued to feel the pain in his head increased, not to mention the pain in his chest. He hit his chest, he really did not accept what happened today. The image of the past is clearly in his brain. The feeling of longing turns into hate.

In his cries he laughed, laughed at his stupidity for missing a woman who had no heart at all. he cried out in his cries and occasionally he also laughed. He screamed out his pain in his heart. Until he just fell. He fainted in the face down without anyone knowing.

TBC.
