I Hate You But I Miss You (Hate But Miss)
Finding Lea
Suburban slum.
In a small house that looks like a hut, it looks like three young people are eating lunch very greedily.
The three people are Ima, Lea and Kak Vito (Sister of Ima). Yep... Leah has lived in Ima's house for a few days.
“Aaaahhhk.. I was full” Kak Vito stroked his stomach with his eyes closed. “What a relief to be able to enjoy lunch on this day.” Connect again.
“Kak...just normal! Brother is like a man who never eats a week.” Sewot.
Hearing the protest from his sister, Vito just smiled and shook his head. His sister is really always with his habit of protesting to the brother.
Vito and Ima are orphaned sisters. This house of their mother's heritage is the place where the two met while missing their mother. This small house they rarely occupy because both are busy working outside the city.
Sis Vito is kind and cheerful. Only two days later he came home to meet his only brother. Getting to know Lea who is a guest at his house, it does not take an hour for them to look familiar, because Vito who is a man who easily communicates. He always smiles at everyone.
Lea felt comfortable living with both of them because the sisters were truly welcome to her presence.
.
Tok tok tok.....
The sound of knocking on the door sounded, making the three stare at each other.
“aduuuh, who are the tumbens there are guests?” lamented Ima.
Ima then moved from her seat to open the door. How shocked the young woman found Devan and Leon standing straight in front of the door.

Arles is now discharged from the hospital. Knowing the twin could already speak, Arles was excited. Unceasingly, the handsome boy invited Lean to talk about many things.
Arland came intending to pick up his son and wife. He was warmly welcomed by Lean. “Pamaan” the cute boy ran towards him.
Arland was a little annoyed to hear these children calling him uncle. He could not wait to tell the two that he was their biological father.
Glesty just smiled little seeing Arland's closeness with her daughter.
“Let's go home..” take Glesty, smile at her two children and glance at Arland at a glance.
.
Arriving home.
The three of them got out of Arland's car and did not forget Glesty said thank you, without any trite offer to Arland to stop by.
“paman... come to our house.” That plain Lean pulled Arland's hand.
“why invite uncle?” Arles Protest.
“I want to show uncle something!” sahut Lean to Arles.
“ahhh. All right. I'm going in. I was really curious what Lean is!” Arland smiled happily.
Glesty simply shook her head looking at Arland's expression.
.
Arland sat down on the couch at Lean's orders. Before long, Glesty appeared carrying a glass of warm tea.
Arland's lips formed a smile when he remembered Glesty always made him warm tea when he came home from work.
“what does this glass smile at you? Why are you looking at him with a smile?” glesty's chirp that sounded like it was teasing in Arland's ear.
“why? Jealous of this glass?” Arland raised one eyebrow while smiling towards Glesty.
Glesty could feel her face becoming warm. Unfortunately, both of his cheeks are red. Worse yet, Arland saw it. Makes the guy feel good not playing.
“Can blush embarrassed like this, but still selling expensive. Basic stubborn woman.” Inner Arland, anxious against his wife.
“Drink while warm. I made it because I appreciate guests.” Glesty turned and stepped.
“Open... Pamaaan.” Lean half-screamed while pulling one of Arles' hands, like she was dragging her twin.
“See this. Isn't this you uncle?” lean exclaimed with a smile.
Glesty's steps stopped instantly, spontaneously turning again with perfectly rounded eyes.
“Lean? What the fuck is this kid?” Glesty rushed over to the three.
Arland was a little surprised by this fact. It turns out that Glesty still keeps one of her photos.
“right dear.. This is me!” arland answered deliberately looking towards Glesty.
It was discovered too late - Glesty could not dwell and pretentious again against Arland.
“Lean, give it back let mama save!” one second later Glesty cursed her mouth “why did I say I would keep it? This stupid mouth!”
“iya darling! Return it to the photo mama. This is his!” Arland again launched its offensive. It was so nice to see Glesty misbehaving.
“why is uncle's photo in our house?” this time Arles spoke.
Arland felt it was time for the two boys to find out who he was.
“Arles.... Lean... listen!. The person who was photographed this.... is your papa!”
“So... this uncle..” Arland took one of each of the two boys' hands and brought both of their hands to touch his chest, feeling his heartbeat. “ini papa y'all!” again, in a soft tone.
The two boys pulled their hands back. Then slowly turning his head together to turn towards Glesty.
Glesty rubbed her two eyes which were now giving off a clear liquid. The woman was moved when Arland told her children the truth.
Then Glesty nodded as a sign “iya” confirmed Arland's recognition.
Of course the two boys immediately believed it, because their mama had justified it. But-- both show different reactions.
“Horeeee .. hore.. have papaa... have papa....” Lean jumping around pleasure. And Arles? The boy had many questions in his heart.
Glesty deliberately invites Lean away from there, so that Arles and Arland can speak from heart to heart. “Lean, let's cook good food!”
“But, why onty Le says papa is sick?” (Fle)
“iya Arles. At that time papa was sick!” Answer Arland.
“Then when it healed, why didn't papa look for us?”
“Because papa doesn't know where you are yet! Arles, as far as papa explains, you won't understand, baby! Slowly papa will explain to you as you grow bigger huh.” Arland persuaded Arles.
“Tap--- uncle has another child!” and what Arles meant was Aurel.
Arland, too, explained about his relationship with Aurell.
“so, how now? Can you accept papa?”
“As long as you can grant my request.”
“mention..the sumuya will definitely papa kabulkan!” sahut Arland sure.
“I want to transfer school to another city.”
“Then? What else?”
“That's all right now. I'm still thinking about something else.”
Arland cheered happily in his heart. As it turned out, Arles' request was not a difficult one. Arland forgets that Arles is still a child who will only ask for something unique, even if a little strange.
Arland promised to grant his son's first wish.

Elsewhere.
“Pak Director? Why did you get here?” ima's surprised tone made Lea stand up and turn around. Sure enough, here is Leon's brother and his ex-lover.
“kakak?” Lea remained at his place, while Leon had already moved in without welcome. He hugged the body of the little sister he missed so much.
“Lea--- Lea, forgive sister yes..” Leon could not hold back his tears that just came out because he felt very sorry for his sister.
.
Thirty minutes later, Lea was ready to return to J with her brother.
Lea gave Devan space to talk to him. Lea looks like she doesn't know Devan.
“why do you look like that? Who are you hiding from?” Leon felt troubled by the appearance of Lea wearing a short Skirt above the knee, glasses, a mask that covered half of his face, and wearing a hat as well. Add to that the oversized hoody jacket.
“Have my brother, I was just afraid of being seen and known as Alin. After this, I-I plan to lock up in Leon's apartment, until everyone forgets Alin.”
It seems like Lea is deliberately listening to Devan every word she says. So that the bad man knows how much of a bad impact that befell Lea because of the man.
.
.
Three days later.
Arland returned to Glesty's house after finishing her work. Today, Arland will bring his wife and children to move to the city of J.
"I feel like I'm really impatient." (France)
.
“Ma.. before we leave, I want to see my friend. Can ya!”
Glesty understood that Arles meant boys and girls who were victims of his abusive actions.
