Today really makes a Renaldy who is usually always ambitious and full of enthusiasm, now look helpless. Even he chose to be alone in his study, contemplating all that had happened in the past, with his wife and children. He deserved a reward like this, for ever wasting someone so precious.
Similar to Revan, the teenager also chose to be alone in the room. Can't bear to see the Papa who looks fragile today, but he has to say that right? Because Papa must know the truth.
In the afternoon before Ashar, Revan chooses to go outside for a while, gathering with his friends. Maybe that way, he will get a little entertainment from his best friend.
"Revan! Where you going?" a familiar voice, he turned to the source of the voice, where Gita stood at the border of the living room and family room.
"Sir Gita? When's coming?" asking the girl, she immediately hugged Gita, channeling the longing she felt.
Gita chuckles at Revan's child-like behavior, ah Gita does consider Revan like her little sister used to. Still the same as before, although now Revan's height almost exceeds him.
"Yes kangen? My sister is also kangen. Just came in, but how quiet, where?" Gita replies to Revan's embrace, then she lets go while looking around, looking for the occupants of the house.
"Sir Hafidz went to his friend's house, if Papa was in the study," Revan replied.
The teenager kept staring at Gita who was now walking towards the kitchen. Gita's treatment of her is no different even though she's the daughter who has left their family devastated, but whether Gita will still enact Revan as it is when the girl finds out who she really is. Can not be if Gita away from him, because all this time only Gita who always understood him. Even the mother never understood him, usually just set and manage, no matter how she felt.
"Van! Bengong? Not going?" asked Gita who had been returning to the living room since when, with a cup of juice in her hand.
"Eh, yes Brother. It's about to go" he replied, looking nervous.
"Be careful with the bike, don't speed, '" Gita said, and was taken by Revan.
"Oh yes Brother, please meet Papa in the workspace. Maybe Papa needs a rock, Gita. That's why I'm going." Revan leaves without waiting for Gita's response, fearing that Gita might ask her something.
After Revan's death, Gita rushes to Papa's study, wondering what really happened. Knocked on the door of the room, but there was no answer from inside. He went inside without waiting for approval.
Surprised to see Papa's usually tidy workspace now it looks like a broken ship. Paper scattered everywhere, even spilled coffee completes the chaos, fortunately the glass that seemed to be accidentally thrown did not break in the slightest, just lying in the middle of the pile of scattered paper.
His feelings were more unpleasant, never once did he see the Papa so destroyed. I don't know what exactly happened, until Papa could be this confused. Looking around, there was no Papa there, but he found a family photo that had become part of the cause deliberately turned. Only leaving a photo of himself and Revan, while the photo of Papa and Mama Sita is no longer visible shape.
Long enough to be in Papa's office, until he realized that the Papa was not there. Finally he went out and went to Papa's room. Knocked on the door of the room, and after being welcomed he entered immediately.
"Pa?" Gita was surprised to find the Papa who looked chaotic, even this room was messy, but not as bad as the workspace earlier.
Want any anger towards Papa, Gita still could not bear to see the man slumped like this. Because all this time the Papa who is always there for him at any time, although not infrequently leave him alone at home only with Revan.
Gita hugged the Papa tightly, trying to give Papa strength. "I know Papa's not okay. Don't keep it to yourself, talk to Gita Pa. If Gita can not provide a solution, at least Papa will be a little relieved, because he has shared his story with me," said the girl, as if knowing the problems faced by the Papa.
Papa let go of his embrace, "Papa just needs peace" said the Papa.
"Don't lie Pa, I know what Papa looks like. So don't ever lie to your daughter" Gita said.
Papa nodded, he realized he could not hide this matter with Gita. His daughter also needs to know what's going on. And Papa also tells what happened today, starting from the bitter reality if it turns out Revan is not his biological son, and also the company of Sita which is on the verge of destruction. But what Papa regretted was not that, but because he had wasted a noble-hearted woman like Sinta. Even he deliberately destroyed his happy family, just because he was eaten by Sita's words.
Gita hugged the Papa, she was also surprised by this reality. But of course not as surprised as Papa who just knew the nature of Aunt Sita. Gita is reminded of the affair of Aunt Sita. Considering, does he have to tell Papa or not? Finally Gita also told about the affair to the Papa, after long enough to think.
"I wanted to apologize to Papa before, because only now tell this. At first I won't tell, but after hearing Papa's story, Papa should also know this," said Gita, after the Papa a little quiet.
"What do you want to say?" ask Papa.
"Sorry Pa, I saw a couple of times Aunty Sita walked with a man, their first to the hotel, and the second time I saw them to the man's apartment. Let me give you the video. I'm telling you this so Papa knows, because I don't want to keep this alone." Gita looking for footage of Aunt Sita with Doctor Adrian.
"Is that maybe Revan's dad?" ask Gita.
Papa just shook his head, focusing on Sita's video with a man who looks friendly like a pair of lovers or husband and wife.
"Patient father yes, I am sure that behind all this there will be a silver lining. Pray that Aunt Sita will change after getting out of prison. Papa has to be strong, Papa still has me and Bang Hafidz. We will be ready to help Papa" said Gita.
Papa nodded, "Thank you son, this is really a reply from the Almighty. God willing Papa sincerely accepted all this, despite the pain. But the pain Papa is now, there is no comparison in the slightest with the pain that your Mama felt because of Papa's stupidity, so let Papa enjoy this pain," said Papa Lirih.
Regret always comes last. But we can't get too late in that regret. We must keep getting back up, not be too late in the puddle of regrets of the past.
