"Stay beside me, and help me to accept this very cruel reality." Amora's eyes returned to tears. No matter how hard he tried to fight all this, still reality would never change.
It was very desirable that he went away from all these circumstances. However, he did not want to further add to the problem because the problem itself was already very much.
"Come here." Samy reached out to tell Amora to come closer.
With hesitation, Amora began to approach Samy's basket. His body jumped in shock as the man pulled and hugged him tightly.
"You are my sister, and I love you very much. I don't care what happened in the past, it's just that I can't change the fact that our father is a different person" Samy said softly, he tried to explain to Amora, "but whatever it is, believe me that I will still be your sister. I'll always be with you, too, hem."
Amora sobbed back in Samy's arms. For many years, this was the only time he again felt the warmth of his brother's embrace.
"I-I understand."
Samy stretches out her arms as she feels Amora is calm, she looks at the girl with affection and pride in Amora's maturity.
"Have you eaten?" tanyanya.
Amora shook her head. "It's not morning yet, I'll eat after the sun comes out."
Samy smiled at Amora's reply, as did the others who were still in the room.
"Well, have you talked enough with your sister?" Suddenly Lucas makes Samy and Devan worried, they are afraid that Amora will return angry with what the middle-aged man did.
"Pa"
Amora held Samy's arm to tell the man to shut up, she nodded her head to say that she was fine at the moment.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" amora asked Lucas, who was now standing before her.
Lucas was silent for a while, and then he looked at them one by one like saying that he not only wanted to talk to Amora but to everyone.
"Listen to what I want to say, especially to you, Amora." Lucas's gaze fell on Amora at this moment. "I apologize to you all for what happened, I also apologize on behalf of Alice and Simon because we've caused you all to suffer." Lucas bowed his body to the apology he had just uttered.
Obviously everyone was surprised by what he did, so they could not react and just looked at him.
This is exactly what Lucas was thinking. He felt very guilty about what had happened to everyone, because everything that happened to them was due to the problems that happened between him, Simon and Alice. To ruin the lives of those they care about.
"W-what did Papa do?" Samy finally managed to get the words out.
"Let papa talk, Samy. Because of my actions, Simon and Alice have caused all of you to suffer. We are truly cruel human beings who inflict suffering on our own descendants, only to satisfy an ego within."
"We should be the ones being punished for all this, and not all of you. Especially you, Amora."
Amora remained silent listening to all Lucas said, she was like she was looking at the shadow of her parents in the middle-aged man.
"You are the one who has suffered the most, and your hatred for me is not wrong. You have every right to hate me, because I hate myself."
Samy shook his head. He knows that the cause of this mess is Lucas, Simon and Alice. It's just that it's not fair to hate the guy, because he knows that Lucas doesn't want this to happen either.
"So, with all my heart and soul. I apologize to all of you for what happened, as well as for all your suffering, Amora."
Everyone's hearts were touched by what Lucas did, clearly showing sincerity in every word the middle-aged man spoke. Even they could see the enormous regret from the look in Lucas's eyes, the eyes that were faint and hung overcast.
"alice, Simon. I've apologized for what we've done to our children, for the happiness we've taken from them. In the hereafter, I will also be rewarded for what happened." Lucas closed his eyes as the shadows of Simon and Alice flashed.
The atmosphere became silent, everyone dissolved in the sadness that Lucas felt. If none of this had happened, if Lucas, Simon and Alice had restrained themselves and not followed their own egos, they would all have lived very happily.
"Well Papa's head, how long will Papa keep his head down like that?" Samy's voice managed to stop the silence from happening, making everyone look towards her. "It's all happened, and we can't change the past. But we can change the future. We can turn hatred into compassion, turn suffering into happiness. Can we do it?" He looked towards everyone.
"I've been so guilty of hiding everything that's happened so far that I've given my own brother a deep cut. I also made Papa feel uncomfortable, and always depressed by what I said,"
"However, I love you both very much. My affection is so great that I cannot choose between you. All this time I've always prayed that you would never meet, because I'm afraid that you'll lose one of you."
