"Mu-not for you, but Bima is a lot of want so I have to cook a lot of menu."
"Ah Bima apparently?" asked Papa Atma looked wrong, several times he rubbed his face slowly to cover the nervousness that remained visible.
"Yes, he's been wanting a lot lately."
.
.
"You hear? Mommy can slander me" whispered Bima with a focused gaze forward, besides worrying about being caught too close and Yudha made her back feel depressed.
"Once in a while, which mother might confess .. shame on me."
"What's inside of mom's embedded prestige too?" bima asked, looking up at the seriousness of his brother's face there.
"Of course, aren't you an ordinary woman too? There must be a little, Bima."
Who would have guessed, if the silence in the residence of Bima was their grand plan. The two adult men who were cut in half arranged a ploy to steal the hearing of his parents.
No one slept first, since Bima monitored CCTV while Yudha watched a favorite drama that aired a few weeks ago. This moment they had been waiting for two hours ago, even Lengkara had slept first.
Obviously when the expected moment arrives they will not be wasted. Maybe for Yudha this is not the first time, he had eavesdropped on his parents' conversation in the hospital. However, this time the sensation was different and Yudha's heart beat twice as fast as she felt as if she was having a forbidden conversation.
Their conversation was more or less the same, but more intense and quiet. Bu Seruni also did not use emotions, nor did Papa Atma. The longer, the deeper their conversation went until Bima and Yudha threw questionable gazes at each other.
"Did Papa's cry not lie?" bima asked whispered softly, she could see how Papa Atma was wiping away her rough tears after saying an apology many times.
"According to the book I read, a man's lowest point is to cry .. I don't think I'm lying, Bim."
"That's right, but I'm still ra_"
"If you doubt, just try to lick the tears papa .. if salty then it means not lying," said Yudha throwing the most brilliant idea that Bima had ever heard, Yudha, suddenly the man glared sharply at his brother.
Whatever, Bima did not care much about the theories that Yudha said. The man prefers to sharpen his ears again to hear the talk of papa and his mother.
.
.
"Enough, Mas, there is no need to be this .. everything has passed, never act as if you regret that day," said Bu Seruni while sighing deeply, with a long sigh, he did not expect that if the short conversation ended it would be this serious.
An old Atmadjaya who had the heart to create wounds now comes back with a million apologies that he has. Too late, the wound was gaping for a long time. Even Seruni did not realize when he was healed, just think of it as talking time.
"The fact is I'm sorry, Runi .. My stupidity makes you and our children hurt, why is it so hard for you to forgive me?" asked Papa Atma with a soft bead that was waiting for Bu Seruni to confirm if he accepted his apology.
"There is no point in regretting, now that Yudha and Bima are fine .. let's live life as it should be, I've been very happy to see my two sons grow up," bu Seruni said slowly, but still the answer did not make Papa Atma feel satisfied.
"Your heart remains hard as it turns out, will you not forgive me until the end?" Needless to say, Papa Atma knew exactly how wrong he was, but somehow before Seruni accepted his apology, the man's chest was crushed by a large chunk of rock.
"I've always said, if you feel guilty, apologize to your children."
"But my fault is not only with them, but with you as well, Runi," said Papa Atma trembling with a glare so fixed on his ex-wife.
For a moment, Bu Seruni fell silent and took a slow breath. It took him time and courage to reveal something that had long shackled his heart.
"Before you ask, I have forgiven you .. I am well aware, it all started because of my mistake. If I hadn't been obsessed with getting you, then we wouldn't be like this" he said with a bitter smile.
Although it was too late, he tried to make amends in the past. Almost every day, every time Bima kissed the back of her hand Bu Seruni would say sorry for feeling guilty.
"I loved you too much back then, I made you into the world for many years .. I had a very beautiful dream, and you're the only person I hope to be in the future. Until finally, that crazy obsession ruined everything."
"I became the third person in your relationship, Gilsa was hurt until the pain turned out to torment Bima as well. Don't feel guilty to me, I'm sorry."
Instantly Papa Atma suddenly silenced, all that Seruni said made him sick himself. Really, I can't be lied to for whatever reason.
"Why did you apologize?"
"I am indeed a disaster in your life .. I shouldn't have to tell you about my pregnancy at that time."
His love obsession is indeed wrong, but one thing that Bu Seruni regrets is admitting about the content of the Atma. If only he had kept his mouth shut and kept everything to himself, maybe they would have been happier living all three.
"So you think it all started there?"
"Hm, don't you think? If I had been silent maybe your life wouldn't have been this complicated. .. I don't regret the presence of Bima and Yudha, only that I'm sorry to have ruined the happiness you've arranged."
"No, Runi, it was I who ruined my own happiness. .. I destroyed all of it, even purposefully letting go a few days after she gave birth to my two sons," papa Atma said without taking his eyes off Seruni, the sharp bead that once stared with the look of hatred is now replaced as if asking for mercy.
Confused, surprised and Papa Atma's words seemed unbelievable. He was sure that his ears did not hear wrong, but Seruni's lips seemed mute and chose to pass without saying anything.
"Seruni wait!!"
"It was night, if Yudha knew I hadn't slept she would have been angry" Bu Seruni said, leaving without looking at her.
Papa Atma who understood if the woman had been seriously ill until she had to be operated on no longer forced to continue talking to her. Although there was still a lot he wanted to say, but it felt like it was enough and his soul was already a little calmer.
.
.
Unknowingly, the man pulled the corner of his lips so thin along with his steps. For so long without speaking, he again felt the warmth of the owner of the soft voice. The smile grew more and more, until the look of his face suddenly changed when he realized the curtains covering the glass window seemed to pop out.
"Based on stalkers, what are you doing?" asked Papa Atma with a voice that was immediately different, not soft as talking to Bu Seruni, but typical Atmadjaya Aksa who caught a wet thief in his house.
"Ehm lap glass, Pa," replied Yudha origin spoke because he could no longer dwell.
Their faces suddenly pale when Papa Atma opened the curtain without warning. Maybe they thought they wouldn't be caught, both completely unconscious if they weren't kids anymore.
"When are you here?"
"I'm new, Pa, the old Yudha .. Really."
After the incident last day, tonight Bima suddenly took revenge, He saved himself and made Yudha trapped in the situation. Even more annoying, he was able to find a better reason than Yudha until she passed away with a thousand steps of her flagship. "Basic Shucks!! You really are Bima!!"
"Hey, where are you going? Answer papa's question first."
