10. Guilt
About Andrew. . .". Nathan shouted loudly and kicked the ball right at Andrew.
"Hey dude, play ball".
"Ayukk Om, we're fighting".
"Okay, who wins what?".
"Anything". Say something soft, Nathan.
Hearing that, Andrew became excited and there is no way he lost to an 8-year-old boy playing ball.
Nathan kicked the ball into the net and . . .
"Goooll, yeeeh, i'm the winner". Cheers Natan frenzied and right Natan superior score of Andrew.
"How about Andrew, Natan is good, right?".
"Heh, yes you are a good boy, what do you want?".
"Hmm Natan wants to.. . .".
"Nataan, take a shower in the afternoon". Shouted Kinara from inside the house.
"Haha tu Jagoan called mami shower first afternoon, sana gih, later mami mambuk".
"Tomorrow om we continue our business, watch out if om until disavow, same as papi".
"Yes to promise". Natan had already run towards her mami and disappeared, "Om would never break a promise like your papi Natan". Andrew then left from there.
When Andrew's car is about to exit the gate of the house, Angela is at odds with him.
"That's Andrew's car, why would he go home, see me. But how come he didn't call first huh, weird".
Angela got out of her car and called Indra.
"Sir Indra, what was Andrew here for?".
"Nyariin non Angela, but because the non has not come home, Mr. Andrew played ball with Natan".
"Huh? Ball game".

In the evening, Adam and another bandmate had finished rehearsing ahead of a concert tour that would be held in a few days.
Adam settles down in a private room in his studio. Adam grabbed the flat object that was vibrating from earlier.
[hello the handsome boy papi, what else?]. Natan made a video call with her papi.
[pi toy].
[meaning?, oh yes papi just remember, tomorrow we buy ya deck].
[no need, there's Andrew who wants to buy it, he does not break the promise of kayak papi, already pi, bye].
[Nat. . ]. It's not over Adam continued to speak with Nathan shut down.
"I often break promises". Think Adam and he exhaled a rough breath.
"Focus dam, focus, the affairs of the children there Kinara, yes. .gue do not need to think about them, I transfer money to buy Natan toys on Kinara".
Adam opens his e-banking app and transfers some money to Kinara. And a few minutes later the message went to Adam's phone.
[buy a toy of Natan].
[how about Nada's birthday, two more days].
[for two of his money, that's more than enough].
[not the money. But you can attend no, you already promised the same Nada a month ago mas].
Adam was stunned, again he could not keep his promise. Adam rubbed his rough face and his gaze blankly forward.
There is a rush of guilt in Adam, why he can change like this, ignore the wishes of his children and even have an affair.
Maybe Adam was already at the point of completion of the household, Adam himself felt it, he wanted to feel another woman in his life.
Because during the marriage with Kinara, there was always a sense of guilt enveloping Adam, a sense that always haunted Adam, he had done fatal things in the past and that made Adam have to marry Kinara.
It is not a matter of getting pregnant out of wedlock, but Adam was the one who hit Kinara's mother and she died, Adam who was new Junior High when it was bought by his father.
Adam just tried to drive his new car on the deserted streets of the City he lived in.
Adam lost focus, told to step on the brake as his papa, instead continue to step on the gas and make the car go very fast. Suddenly Kinara's mother crossed the road and there was an accident.
Adam and his papa panicked, they got out of the car and saw the mother's condition was seriously injured.
"rs. . Let's take this mother to the hospital, yeah pa".
"no need to be ADAM BASKARA, someone will help him".
"ta- pi pa, hiks".
Don't be your crybaby, shut up, let's get out of here".
The shadow of the past flashed before Adam.
"If I saved Kinara's mother, surely she's still alive now, if I follow her papa to be her successor I won't be forced to marry Kinara". Adam muttered to himself.
Actually Adam was forced into marriage with Kinara because, Adam refused to replace his papa continued the company.
"you could be Adam's son, but remember you and papa are going to jail because we both killed Kinara's mother, you remember Adam".
"Adam promised to follow papa".
"You marry Kinara and love papa's grandson, with that secret we'll both be safe, and one more".
"what pa?".
"never divorce Kinara no matter what".
"why is that pa?".
"he could've sued you for his mother's death".
"kinara doesn't know about it pa".
"there's one person who knows about it, Dam".
"who's pa?".
