LET ME LOVE YOU IN SILENCE
36

One night Aditya came when Cantika had started singing. He saw Bastian who looked at Cantika who was on stage with a mournful gaze. Aditya is astonished by their relationship, because whenever Aditya asks Cantika or Bastian there is never an answer that explains their relationship.

Filled with curiosity, Aditya decides to visit his father Bastian's house. Aditya wants to find out about Bastian's past and Bastian's relationship with Cantika through the Bastian family.

After a long journey, Aditya finally arrived at Bastian's father's house in the afternoon.

"Assalamu'alaikum." hail Aditya knocking on the door

"Walaikumsalam" said Bastian opened the door

"Loh nak Adit." exclaimed Mr. Bastian who saw Aditya in front of the door

"Yes, this uncle is Adit." Aditya replied, greeting his uncle

"Go in first, son." take his uncle

Aditya follows his uncle into the house. And his uncle allowed Aditya to sit down.

"Come here, don't you tell me first to son?" ask uncle

"Adit just want to play kog uncle. Today is the weekend." replied Aditya

"Oh yes, son, please call grandma first" said uncle

"Mom, mother. Here there's Adit coming here." Call uncle

"Who's coming?" ask grandma to come

"This is Adit, Jamal's son, isn't it?" ask grandma to see Aditya

"Yes Grandma, this is Adit." Aditya replied greeting grandma

"So sorry since when did you get to Jakarta kog grandma don't know?" ask grandma

"It's been a long time, maybe it's been a year" Aditya replied

"Loh kog just came here to kid?" ask grandma again

"Just got a chance to granny." replied Aditya smilingly

"Where do you live now?" ask grandma again

"At his house Bastian nek, Adit hitchhiked there." Aditya answered interspersed with laughter

"Yes nek." answered Aditya

"Oh yes uncle, Adit would like to get here?" ask Aditya

"May nak Adit. But we only have three rooms, Adit sleeps in Bastian's room, right?" ask Uncle Darto

"Father uncle, Adit even thanked him for being allowed to nginep." replied Aditya

"Jaudah here grandma anterin to Bastian's room, you rest first. Grandma's ready to eat dinner first." said grandma

After taking Aditya to Bastian's room, Bastian's grandmother leaves Aditya. While Aditya who just entered the room Bastian put his bag on the table and lay himself on the single bed mattress. Aditya looked at the ceiling, he began to rethink what the relationship between Bastian and Cantika was. Aditya immediately got up and started to search Bastian's room.

Almost an hour Aditya rummaged through Bastian's room but Aditya had not yet found an answer to his curiosity. But when Aditya opens the drawer in Bastian's closet, he finds a box. He picked it up and sat back on the bed. Aditya started opening the box. Inside the box are many photos and items of Bastian's past. When Aditya saw the photos Aditya was shocked. Lots of photos of Cantika and Bastian are so friendly. At first Aditya did not believe the photo, but when he was looking at the photo suddenly the door of the room opened.

"Son Adit, what's going on?" ask Grandma Bastian to see Bastian's messy room

"Sorry Grandma, Adit will settle it." Aditya replied quickly closing the box on his lap

"What's that?" ask grandma to come closer

"Ohh this photo. Do you know Cantika and Adit?" ask grandma

"Yes nek." replied Aditya nodding

"He's Bastian's ex-girlfriend. Bastian used to love him very much, but because of the stupidity of the grandmother who pretended not to approve of him finally Cantika married another man" said the grandmother looking at photos of Cantika and Bastian

"You mean Cantika's grandmother was the one Bastian loved all along? Which Bastian has not yet been able to escape." asked Aditya

"So Bastian still loves Cantika?" ask grandma surprised

Aditya nodded.

"Indeed, Bastian's wife should be Cantika, not Tania. Cantika's ideal daughter-in-law, not like Tania. Let alone the ideal son-in-law, the love of offspring for Bastian alone can not. If only Cantika was still alone, the grandmother herself would come to him and ask him to be the granddaughter-in-law of the grandmother." said Grandma

Aditya who is still shocked by the fact that he knows now is just silent does not answer the words of grandma.

"Yeah son, get out quick. Dinner is ready, it's at tomorrow's machine." said grandma left Aditya

Aditya was still silent digesting all the words from Bastian's grandmother. He finally knew what their relationship was, even though he still felt shocked. He now knew why Tania's attitude was cold towards Cantika.
