When Love Comes Again

Home But Not Healthy

The night had just engulfed the world. Dicky was still lying in his room. Spend time with my dear sister. Tonight he was determined to tell his father the truth. Ready not to be ready he has to say it. No matter what happens, he has to take care of Adellia. Like his promise to Yudha. But it looks like his dad came home late today. Dicky turned his head towards the door as the soft knocking sound rang out. Adellia came from behind the door.

"Sister."

"Hm ..."

"Evening is ready. Wanna eat?" Dicky got up from his bed. Then embrace Adel down towards the dining room. There Bik Iyah has prepared a delicious dinner menu for both of them.

"A little take the rice? Diet?" ledek Dicky saw Adel reduce the portion of rice on his plate.

"Gak ah. I'm appetite again."

"can't. Can't be like that. Now open your mouth! Aaaaa .... " Dicky forced the rice into the mouth of Adel. I don't want her sister eating too. They finally ate a plate of both. Dicky fed his sister affectionately. "Well, eat a lot, Brother Dicky is happy to see."

"Oh, ga maksa also times, brother. Why am I a baby in force bribed," protested Adel as he swung his lips.

"Yes, you're a baby. His favorite baby, Brother Dicky." rubbing his sister's head. Adel only blushed in embarrassment of being treated as special as that by this second brother of his. After they finished eating they returned to the upper room. Dicky takes Adel to his room. Adel was about to study to prepare for the college entrance exam. Before closing the door, Dicky pulls Adel's hand and kisses him on the forehead.

"Goodbye, my brother, dear."

Dicky went back to his room. He took his cell phone that was lying on the table. Three unanswered exhumations from his brother Yudha. Dicky sat down on the couch and called his brother back.

"Hello, Brother." Dicky said hello on the other end of the phone.

"You're asleep, Dek?"

"Yet. Just finished dinner, brother. Sorry Dicky's cell phone stayed in the room" said Dicky, who felt bad ignoring his older brother's call.

"Your sister's okay, Dek?" ask Yudha.

"Yes, Brother. Yudha's sister doesn't have to worry. Sis, Dicky's planning to tell me everything tonight Papa. Pray that Papa will accept this reality." Dicky's words made Yudha speechless. For a while he did not reach Dicky's words.

"Relse ... Brother Yudha?" call Dicky.

"Looks like Yudha's sister is hesitant, Dek. It's not going to be easy. Brother Yudha is afraid that this is not in accordance with what you expect, if it is so Adellah is the most grieved."

"Ga there's no harm if we try, brother." Dicky's insistent nature began to arise.

"Yes, Brother Yudha believes in you, Dek. Just one message from Yudha. Please take care of Adellia."

"Good, Brother. Brother Yudha don't worry about that." But to be honest, Dicky is scary as much as his brother. But many times he convinced himself to dare to be frank. Whatever happens Adellia is her sister, her biological sister.

Almost ten o'clock in the evening, from the yard came the sound of cars stopping. Juan came down from inside to the house. He asked Dicky to Bik Iyah. It's been since Dicky finished dinner not coming out of his room. Juan headed for his room downstairs, on the right corner of the house. After he finished cleaning up, he intended to go to sleep immediately. But Dicky came knocking on the door, and he brought two cups of hot tea. Juan understood what this child meant. He's sure there must be something Dicky wants to tell him. They sat together on the sofa while enjoying a cup of hot tea.

"This dad is very smart. Understand what Dicky's heart really means." Dicky took out a tablet computer that he had taken with him earlier. Her voice was busy turning over the existing files. It's not a video button. Then he showed it to his father.

The video was taken secretly by his hired detectives while investigating the truth about Adel and his mother. Video containing the chatter of Adel and his mother in their flower garden in Tasikmalaya. It's not surprising Juan saw that. He never said anything, Dicky immediately thrust a brown envelope containing the investigation file to his Papa.

Juan carefully flipped through and read the contents of the investigation file. His breathing was now faster than before. His face turned red. Grasped it tightly into the file. Then he threw it on the table.

"What do you mean, Dicky?" Juan was getting emotional.

"As written in the file and the photos, and this video."

"You mean ... Your mama's still alive? Is she okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." Dicky was silent. He was waiting for his reaction.

"The girl on top of that, the one in this video is your mother's son?"

"He's Papa's biological son too. Dicky's sister, Pa," Dicky said firmly. Juan looked at his son. He was looking for the truth behind his son's bead.

"Where can you be sure of that, Dicky." Juan began to lose control of himself and yelled at his son. Dicky was as strong as possible to hold himself back from being provoked by his Papa's emotions. He knew this was a difficult choice. And his papa wouldn't be that easy to believe.

"Dicky, I've met and spoken directly to my mother and sister Yudha, Pa."

"Father can't believe all this. Don't talk about your mama in front of Papa anymore." Juan's eyes turned red withstanding his anger.

"Bare Papa. But remember Pa, whatever happened before between papa and mama, it's not fair if Adel became his victim. He's Papa's biological son. Whatever happens, Adellia stays with us in this house. He's in Dicky's protection, Pa." Dicky left his papa's room. Withholding Dicky's emotions headed upstairs. Adel's door was opened right next to his room. At the sight of Adel was slapping his face on the bed with a hiccup. Adel heard everything. Clearly, Juan was already emotionally talking by shouting.

Almost shocked the whole house.

Dicky approached his sister, stroking Adellia's delicate hair gently. And hugged him tightly. Let Adel cry on his chest. The pain in his chest heard his sister cry. But he can't do anything. Dicky waited until Adel fell asleep. Then kissed his sister's forehead before leaving the room and returning to his room.

At breakfast was cold, the effect of the quarrel father and son last night was very pronounced. Juan did not even look one eye at Adel who was sitting in front of him.

"Two or three days Grandpa will come here" Juan said after finishing his meal. Without further ado, he left the dining room and got into his car that was parked in the yard. Adellia's face turned deathly pale. His heart was broken and felt guilty.

"If there were no one between Papa and his brother, maybe the father-son relationship would have remained as harmonious as it used to be" Adel said.

"Patience, Deck" said Dicky, wiping his sister's head. As if you knew what Adel was thinking.

"Sister, I start today there will be an intensive bill for the college entrance exam later. So I might be home a little late, brother. Class starts at five o'clock." Adellia distracts by opening another chat. He knew that his brother must be very sad.

"Be careful on the road, honey. Then just have the driver drive you to the stand." Adellia nodded. He waited for his brother to leave the office until the front door of the house. He grabs Dicky's hand and kisses the back of his hand, then Dicky hugs him and kisses him on the forehead.
