Puspa Visit.


    After a few days of Mary's departure, Puspa accompanied by Bayu came to Alya's house. Alya, who was busy taking care of Arjuna in his room, was forced to stop his activities, Rima who came to Arjuna's room told him about the arrival of Puspa. 


 


         Accompanied by Adrian, Alya met Puspa who was sitting in the living room. 


    


          "Puspa, forgive brother yes, sister lately is very busy, because Arjuna is again active - active." Alya.


 


           Puspa who had been silent since then, only smiled , Puspa at a glance noticed the appearance of Alya, a person who had never worn good clothes and branded, and who had never been,  in contrast to Alya who is now , Alya whose face looks fresher and skin cleaner and well-groomed, because Adrian very spoiled Alya by bringing SPA to his home, that way Alya never bothered to go back and forth to the salon. 


 


         Puspa who used to be very obsessed with an Adrian, just smiled bitterly, when he remembered where he did not recognize Alya as his brother, as his brother, even with the heart to slander Alya as a comfort woman, along with the crime she committed almost took Alya's life she had the heart to tell her father Baron to encourage Alya, ' she said , Alya who was pregnant at that time was not even time to give birth, because of an emergency Alya had to give birth to a caesarean.


 


          "Sister, forgive Puspa if Puspa's arrival interferes." Puspa Sudu.


 


          "Hey.kok you said that anyway, what's the matter so melow.."Said Alya frowning her forehead.


 


        Puspa took out a black crackle bag, then placed it on the table. 


 


         "Sister, accept this money, this money used to be the right of the brother, but with the father's greed, the money was partly spent on the father's scatter to gamble and drink." Say Puspa by handing over a black crackle bag.


 


           "Money.?" What money is this Puspa brother doesn't understand.?" Alya turned towards Adrian who was sitting next to him holding Arjuna.


 


          Puspa who was then in a dilemma, just shut up and wipe away his tears that had wanted to fall in the corner of his eyes. Now he realized, due to greed with pleasure for a moment, the actions of Baron arguably karma, had wasted Alya, even the heart to sell Alya to pimps.


 


          "Sister, please forgive all the mistakes of Puspa's parents, they have received karma from his actions, and this is the rest of the money, accept , Puspa did not want his father and mother there tortured for long." Puspa said with tears in his eyes.


 


          Puspa who told all the events of that night, after getting two billion dollars from selling Alya, Baron invited his family to leave his old residence, then moved to the city, the money was in addition to buying a house, also to buy a Puspa car. 


          Now Puspa intends to return the remaining money, the money he got from selling his house and other assets. 


 


        Adrian and Bayu only fell silent, when Puspa told him everything, Alya who at that time did not know what to do was silent, did not feel the grains - grains of crystal soaked her cheeks, Alya who did not know what to do, should he be happy or happy, which is clearly deep down he was very hurt, lucky that night Adrian who bought it, if not what life is living today.


 


        Both washed away in tears of heartache, Alya is very grateful for her life now she has got a good husband, and has also found her family, let alone what she wants , ' she said , in addition to being with the family he misses so much.


 


         "Sir, you don't need this, you already have everything, you're so happy to have you in your life, thank you for thinking I'm your sister." 


 


         "Get this money, brother sincere with whatever happens to brother, brother never consider your parents enemies, they are also my parents." Alya said in her sobs. 


        Puspa who heard Alya's words increasingly broke his tears, he was very sorry to let Alya who was in desperate need of his help, instead of helping Puspa who was already working at that time, he was very sorry, but not by extending his hand. 


 


             "You'd better use this money for your needs." Said Alya giving the money back to Puspa.


 


           "No brother, Puspa there is still money, Puspa will work with the results of Puspa himself Puspa will live independently and will not trouble you anymore." Puspa strongly refused the money was returned to him.


 


 


         "Well, brother accept this money, this money will be used to hole the orphanage, how do you.?" Alya asked, looking towards her husband.


 


        Adrian and Bayu who had been listening to their conversation, finally Adrian nodded his head to approve the proposal from Alya. After a long conversation, Puspa was quiet and left his brother's residence, with a sense of relief Puspa took a deep breath.


 


           *****


 


           "Sorry sir, it's been a hassle thank you for accompanying me all day." Said Puspa when he arrived at his rented house.


 


           "It's okay, don't worry." Answer Bayu.


 


        Bayu who has not received an answer from Puspa, increasingly amazed by the attitude of Puspa, in a new residence in simple housing, now Puspa lives alone. Puspa deliberately sold his house full of memories because he did not want to dissolve with sadness, if he had to remember both parents. Bayu had repeatedly asked Puspa to stay in his apartment only, but subtly Puspa continued to refuse.


 


         Bayu who now anxiously wants to ask about the answer from Puspa is still reluctant to move, Bayu's eyes occasionally steal a glance towards Puspa.


 


          "Emm.., I'm sorry if my question doesn't hold in your heart, I want to ask you about the answer that was delayed yesterday." Say Bayu who sits not far from Puspa.


 


          Puspa for a moment of silence, his eyes he threw towards the crowded streets, those who sat on the terrace with a breeze enjoyed the view that afternoon , there have been many traveling food merchants to make a living . His puffy eyes because it had just finished crying with Alya, now began to glaze over.


 


          His mind is now busy looking for the right answer for Bayu, although actually Puspa himself has the same feeling, but Puspa is aware, but he is conscious, the difference between them was as great as heaven and earth.


 


        "Is it important that answer is from me sir.?" Puspa said without looking towards Bayu.


           


         Bayu who was expecting an answer from Puspa , now very anxious because Puspa so did not want his presence. 


 


          "Yes, it's very important to me Puspa, whatever your answer is, I'm ready to accept it."Bayu replied with his lips trembling.


 


          "But, if you're not ready now, I'll patiently wait for him." Say again.


 


         Puspa took a deep breath, then exhaled it to reduce the tightness in his chest. 


 


         " May I ask for more time, lest I give an answer wrong." Puspa stared at Bayu.


 


        "Well, if that's what you want, I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me." Answer Bayu


 


        As the day darkened, time entered Maghrib , Bayu was saying goodbye to go home, Puspa who was still on the terrace released the departure of Bayu with his vehicle , they disappeared among other vehicles.
