Love, take my side

Love, take my side
Evan And Adelia


"Pa, when are we going to Ita's mom's house?"


Just now Danny stopped his car in the garage. Sisil asked when they were going there.


Danny looked at his daughter for a moment. His little daughter at the age of three years including wise talk. Every word that came out of his mouth was already understandable to adults. It's just. Every time Sisil spoke, he would look funny in his pronunciation and body movements.


"Father "


Sisil demanded an answer from his father.


"Later, if papa wasn't busy."


Danny said quietly but could still be heard by his daughter. Sisil was already cheering happily. The little boy only understood the word later. He believed his father's words would come true.


"Come, down!.


Danny stretched his hand. Sisil moves and is already struggling spoiled in Danny's sling.


"Pa, I'm happy" said Sisil, leaning his head against Danny's chest. Danny just stroked his daughter's head while walking. His heart was very sad to hear the words of his happy daughter. Danny, actually can not know when exactly he will bring Sisil back to the Anggita house. The assumption very clearly shows the rejection of the title. Only, Anggita did not show that objection with Sisil. But the other with Danny. The view clearly shows rejection.


Danny was actually embarrassed. Shame on himself for not forbidding Sisil to call Anggita as mama Ita. I think we seem to object to that name. Aggita did not answer Danny's question when the man asked whether Anggita objected or not with that designation.


On the other hand, Danny was also very sad. He could not bear to destroy the happiness of his daughter who looked very happy with Angita earlier.


"Grandmother," called Sisil after the father and daughter were already standing at the door of the house.


"Honey," replied Aunt Tiara. Sisil got off Danny's sling and ran towards aunt Tiara. On the living room couch that sits is not just Aunt Tiara. There was Evan and Gunawan in that place.


"Where are you. It's just coming home" said Aunt Tiara. Sisil and Danny left the house this morning. But he came home almost night.


"From mama Ita's house," replied Sisil happy. The little boy did not feel tired on the journey that took almost six hours to go home.


"From mama Ita nek's house."


"Mama Ita?" ask Evan in wonder. The name Ita reminds him directly of the name Anggita which is the last three letters of nana from his ex-wife. It's not just Evan. Aunt Tiara and Gunawan were also astonished by Sisil's words. Gunawan squinted his eyes in wonder.


"Could he mean Anggita?" guess Evan in heart.


"Sir, in the belly of mama Ita there is a baby sister," said Sisil again make Evan, Aunt Tiara and Gunawan increasingly ask in the heart who mama Ita is. Evan even felt that there was a difficult feeling to describe that suddenly infiltrated the recesses of his heart.


"It turns out not an Angita," Evan's inner self again in the heart. Evan thinks that Angita has miscarried. But along with that, his heart skipped a beat and Evan suddenly felt empty. Heard the words of Sisil. Evan became lethargic. Previously, he had hoped that Ita's mother who was said by Sisil was his ex-wife.


"Who was Sisil Evan talking about?" tanya aunt Tiara sharp. Aunt Tiara and Gunawan have advised Danny not to carelessly find a woman his life partner later. Aunt Tiara was also worried that Ita's mother whom Sisil mentioned was Danny's lover. Really, Aunt Tiara did not want to repeat the same mistake. Danny and Clara got married for the first time. Aunt Tiara did not doubt Sisil as her grandson. But to bring in the women in his family with the same. Aunt Tiara was not at all pleased.


"Old friend I ma," replied Danny reasoned. He could also catch his mother's worries over the past's mistakes.


"He's an old friend of yours. And she's pregnant. Didn't her husband mind Sisil calling the woman with mama?. This time Gunawan asked. Silence does not mean that he does not listen to every conversation. And now the man looks at his son's face carefully to see if Danny's facial expression is lying or not.


"No objection pa. She has no husband."


"He's pregnant out of wedlock?" gunawan asked in shock. Still staring at Danny's face. And then Danny nodded. He didn't know he had to answer his question. Danny felt instantly the stupidest in the world. He should not have to answer the truth about Angita's current state.


"No. She's a good woman. It's just that she and her ex-husband don't match. They decided to divorce even though the woman was pregnant and her husband had no intention of canceling the divorce even though his wife was pregnant. We're just friends anyway. It just so happened that we met."


Danny finally lied. Although some of his words have the truth but Evan can not realize if their current conversation is about Anggita and himself.


"It is good that you choose a wife. Don't fail a second time. And one more. We choose a wife not just for you. But also for Sisil. That's why you have to choose a wife who can accept Sisil like her biological child."


"Om, Aunt. There was something I wanted to ask," Evan said after Sisil had taken one of the maids in the house into the room. Now in the living room there are only Evan, Danny, Gunawan and Aunt Tiara.


"What is that son?" ask aunt Tiara softly.


"I already know who I really am. It turns out I'm not papa and mama's biological son."


Aunt Tiara looked at Evan. He could see the man who harbored sadness. His heart was also sad to see the man sad. Aunt Tiara then turned to Gunawan. Now a couple of husbands and wives alike bow their heads. While Danny has not been able to hide the shock on his face after knowing the new reality.


"Papa told me to ask you guys" Evan said again.


The atmosphere in the living room was silent again. They play with their own thoughts. But not with aunt Tiara. The woman lowered her head with a shaken shoulder from crying.


"There's a good reason why your parents left you to Rendra and Anita." Gunawan said with glaring eyes. He was also ready to tell Evan the truth. For whatever reason. Sooner or later Evan has to figure out who his biological parents are. And it seems like the time is right.


"What's the strong reason?" evan asked impatiently.


"You were three years old. At that time your biological mother gave birth to a second child. Your biological mother has severe baby blues syndrome. Anita who has not had children loves sincerely. Being used to Rendra and Anita for a few months. You don't want to be separated from them."


"So who are my birth parents?" evan asked, urging Gunawan not to telephoto.


"Me and Tiara. You are our first son."


Evan and Danny are equally surprised to hear Gunawan's confession. After decades. They both find out if they are siblings.


"I'm sorry Evan. It's all mama's fault."


Aunt Tiara is still crying. Memory where he hurt the first child because of the influence of the syndrome. He still remembers him pinching little Evan when the boy was just about to kiss Danny. It was a difficult time for Tiara to give birth to a second child without her husband's support. Not because Gunawan is not responsible. But at that time, Gunawan was studying strata two in America. Times not as sophisticated as technology now make Tiara and Gunawan minimal communication.


That's when Anita came. Anita who likes children is able to make little Evan close to her. Initially a matter of days, weeks to months. Slowly, Evan called Anita mama. And because rarely get affection from the figure of a father. Evan also gets closer to Rendra and calls him papa. He did not want to be far from the two people he already considered as his parents.


It was difficult for Anita after recovering from the syndrome. He didn't want to be away from Evan. But for the good of Evan back then. Finally Tiara and Gunawan did not impose their will.


"It takes time to understand all of this" Evan said. He got up from his seat. And Danny just stared at Evan without speaking. Danny suddenly felt sorry for his brother. They turned out to be brothers but had very different life experiences. If Danny lived freely to determine the course of his life but not with Evan. The man seemed to be required to obey the rules made by Martin's grandfather.


The difference is so striking. Evan must continue the business pioneered by Grandpa Martin. And in terms of soul mate. Evan is also required to marry the woman of grandfather's choice. But not with Danny. The man does not want to be forced. He started his own business and married a girl of his own choice. But honey, what he pioneered and chose just disappeared.


"Sit down son. I beg. Can't you feel your mother's affection for you?"


Aunt Tiara held Evan's hand so the man could sit down. But Evan let go of that soft hand. Then get out of that house. No one could prevent the man from leaving. Including Danny. Danny also felt that this new reality took time to think about it.


Evan pondered while driving. He arrived at his home with an increasing burden of thought. It's not that Evan is unhappy knowing that Gunawan and Tiara are his biological parents. But this reality was too streaky that Evan needed some quiet time to reflect on his life.


"You still dare to come to this house?" evan asked after seeing Adelia in the house. He's been driving Adelia away since he learned of Adelia's crime. And had even locked all the guest rooms so that when the woman came could not be free in the house anymore.


"You're my lover. I came to this house to collect your promise." Evan chuckles.


"Start today. Between us there is nothing more. Please lift your feet from my house. Or should the police pick us up from this house?" evan's bluff scared Adelia.


"Your bastard Evan. I'm doing it for our happiness. But you don't appreciate it."


"Please go," said Evan angrily as he pointed at the door of the house. Disappointment and anger at knowing the reality about her make Evan unable to control his anger towards Adelia.


Live your destiny. I live my destiny. Let's just say we didn't know each other all this time" Evan said, leaving Adelia in the living room. He went to the kitchen and told Aunt Ani to drive Adelia out of the house. He did not want to deal with the woman anymore.
