C5 Trying To Be Sincere

Aaron looked around. Currently, he is in a modest house owned by the Shena family. When compared to where he lived, this house was certainly nothing. Several photo frames are hanging on the wall. Aaron grimaced when he saw a photo of Shena, Amanda, and Yudha smiling happily. And now, he has destroyed the happiness of their little family.

Shena walked while carrying a glass of water, then put it on the table. Then she sat beside Amanda.

"Thank you," Aaron said with a genuine smile.

Shena snorted softly, looking away. "Now quickly tell me what purpose you came here for?"

Aaron took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for what happened. I know, sorry from I can't return Uncle Yudha. Because of that, I will surrender myself to the police station for what I did up to make your daddy die," he said with a sad look. He had given up on everything that was going to happen to him. Even if later, he would spend the rest of his time behind bars.

Shena nods. "Good then. Because you should realize that you are a murderer. And the prison is the perfect place for a murderer like you," she said staring flatly at Aaron.

"Don't talk like that. She's not a murderer. What happened to daddy, it's the destiny of God." Amanda opened her voice.

"Why do you keep defending that killer? He deserves to go to prison," said Shena, staring at her younger sister disgustedly.

Amanda shook her head. "Enough, Shena. I don't mean to defend him. But this is the way, Daddy had to die like this. The accident was also purely happened without any will from anyone. So I ask you to stop blaming Aaron and calling him a murderer," she said trying to give understanding to Shena.

Shena snorted irritably. She didn't like it when Amanda continued to defend Aaron, who was the culprit of the accident.

Aaron smiled faintly at Amanda's words. He was amazed at the girl's thinking. Completely inversely proportional to Shena, who was frantic with emotions that all she could think of was hatred and resentment. However, he also couldn't blame Shena's attitude like this on him.

"It is okay. Indeed this is my obligation to take responsibility for the mistakes that I have done," said Aaron.

Shena got up from her sitting position. "All right, now let's go to the police station. I want to see you behind bars."

"Shena, what do you want to do? It's not you I know. Where are you kind and forgiving?"

Shena lowered her head to look at Amanda. "This is a big problem. I can't just keep quiet if our daddy died by this guy. He's the one who made us lose daddy forever and I don't want to forgive this bad guy forever," he said, pointing at him to Aaron who was still sitting on the chair.

"I'm sure if daddy can survive the accident. Surely he will forgive Aaron easily and sincerely because he believes what has happened to him was a disaster from God," replied Amanda.

"Enough, I don't want to hear you continue to defend this killer."

Before Amanda returned to speak, Shena first approached Aaron and then grabbed the man's hand. "Now come with me to the police station," she said immediately pulling Aaron out of the house.

"Shena, wait! Don't be like this!" shouted Amanda.

Amanda tries to chase and forbid Shena, but being unable to see makes it difficult for her to catch up with Shena's wide strides.

♡♡♡

During the trip to the police station, no chat took place between Aaron and Shena.

Maybe Aaron was crazy because he was willing to surrender himself to the police station for the accident that took Yudha's life. He doesn't know how his family responds when he finds out that he is in prison.

Shena glanced at Aaron who was focused on driving. What Amanda said is true, if she shouldn't be too harsh and keep blaming Aaron for her daddy's departure. She thought she was too much in response to this problem. All living creatures will surely die. And Yudha's death was like this. He also remembered the message that Yudha had always taught during his life, that she should be a humble and forgiving person. Because every human being must have mistakes and mistakes.

Shena closed her eyes, then took a deep breath. "Stop."

Aaron's forehead creased in confusion then turned to face Shena as soon as he heard her command.

"I said stop," said Shena when Aaron was still speeding the car. Finally, he stopped the car on the side of the road.

"Why? The police station is far from here." Aaron asked.

"We don't have to go to the police station. I can get off here and you can go," she said, immediately removing her seat belt and getting out of the car. That of course made Aaron wonder. He immediately got out of the car and ran towards Shena.

"Shena wait!" Aaron grabbed the girl's hand but was immediately pushed over by her.

"What? I don't want any more business with you," said Shena and then continued walking. Aaron did not remain silent, he ran after the girl for an explanation.

"Shena waits, I need an explanation from you. What made you suddenly change your mind?"

Shena stopped her steps, spun around, and stared flatly at Aaron. "I will try to forgive you. And this problem does not need to be brought to the police station. I'll try to be sincere for daddy. "

Aaron froze in place with some thoughts. He didn't understand Shena's way of thinking. Wasn't that girl so determined beforehand to bring this matter to justice? Then why did she suddenly ask to forget this matter?

Shena immediately got into the taxi that stopped in front of her. Aaron, who just woke up from his reverie, was surprised when Shena took a taxi. A long sigh escaped his mouth. He should be relieved and happy when Shena told her to forget about this problem. However, guilt continued to haunt him.

"I can't calm down before I can take responsibility for my mistakes. Whatever it is," he muttered and then turned his body to get into the car to catch up with Shena. However, he was surprised by the presence of Angela who was standing at the car's steering door, making Aaron's body freeze.

Angela's lips filled a smile, then stepped closer to Aaron and immediately hugged the man's muscular body. Rest your head on your broad chest comfortably. Meanwhile, Aaron growled. He did not want to return to the embrace of this woman.

"Honey, I miss you."

"Let go of me, Angela." Aaron tried to release Angela's hug, but the woman tightened her hug even more.

"No. I don't want to let go of this hug before you forgive me."

Aaron closed his eyes for a moment. Then forcefully he released Angela's hug, making the woman startled.

"Honey ...."

"Stop, Angela. Don't call me that name again," Aaron said with a flat face.

Angela looked sad to hear that, she shook her head slowly. "Don't be like this I beg you. I'm sorry, honey. Please forget about yesterday's problems and we continue our wedding plans. It was our sweet dream all this time, honey?" Angela tried to grab Aaron's hand, but the man put both hands into his trouser pockets.

"Maybe you should discuss marriage with Derry," said Aaron.

"Derry? Why Derry? You're my boyfriend, not Derry."

Aaron snorted softly. "Never mind, I have more important business than talking stupid thing with a traitor like you," he said, making Angela's heart churn. Then stepped past Angela and got into the car. Leaving Angela who was sobbing on the side of the road.

Aaron massaged his throbbing temples. "Angela, I'm sorry. I have to behave like this. Our relationship can no longer be continued. I can't possibly come back with you, while you are already owned by my young brother."
