A Mistake

A Mistake
Meet Damar


After breakfast, Hara and Erik play in a side yard built by Prasetyo, a small playground for his grandchildren. Before Hara came, Pras could sit for hours on the terrace of the house overlooking the garden. Pras enjoys a cup of coffee while imagining his grandson playing in the park. And now Pras can not only imagine, because what is desired has been realized with the arrival of Hara at his home.


"Angel now lives where mi...?" tanya Dira while serving tea to her husband.


"While living here, she was pregnant young and often stayed in Damar out of town. And he wanted to keep the same mother, so Damar relented to allow Angel to stay here. This was early in the morning already wanted to buy chicken porridge that was shallow in the complex park decket, fortunately Damar fit home from the service outside the city. It'll be here soon, too..."


"Ooo..ngidam time yes mi..."


"Yes, I think. understand the name is also pregnant people, if you ask for anything to be obeyed. You know for yourself... Angel was not pregnant just how much, especially now.Husband sometimes also hassles but can not do much. Again, only because Angel is pregnant..." Sonya Nyerocos told a story without dots and commas, while Dira suddenly fell silent. A moment of memory wanders into the past, recalling when she conceived Hara first... Dira also felt cravings like a pregnant woman but she often held it because at that time there was no husband who accompanied her. Dira's only wish that could not be held back then was when he wanted green grapes, which makes him noisier with Mas Tono the vegetable handyman who often passes in front of Bi Asih's house. And because the green wine also makes Dira know the doctor Haris, a good man who is now his best friend. Dira smiled bitterly remembering those times. Dira rubbed it slowly so as not to fall into his cheek.


Hans secretly noticed the change in his wife's face.


"Dira made milk for Hara and Erik first mi. earlier did not drink milk.." the pretext of Dira whose heart now feels chaotic.


"Oh yes dear... but what milk is it...?" ask Sonya because she's not ready for milk for the kids.


"Dira brought it from my house..."


"Oh thank goodness, because my mom wanted to buy milk did not know the brand..."


"No papa mi, Dira always bring..."


"Oya.. mami stay you to papi first yes..."


"Yes mi..."


After Sonya left, Dira stepped past her husband who suddenly pulled Dira's hand to hold Dira's step.


"Eh., uh.,. Why mas? Hans wants to make you drink again?"


Hans shook his head slowly, silent for a moment as he stared intensely at his wife's face.


"You're okay, right?" hans asked worriedly.


"Why? Dira is fine..."


"It's nothing don't like it in the damper itself..."


"Yes." answered Dira softly, clearly visible to Hans if his wife was not okay, but again Dira always tried to cover it.


"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."


"Wa'alaikum..."


"Son Hans how are you?" ask Angel.


"Alhamdulillah good..." Angel shook hands with Hans, and so did Damar.


"Where are you?" ask Angel.


"There's a. It's making milk for Hara."


"Darling please go to the cake dong.." Angel asked her husband.


"Yes... Brother Hans, I'll excuse you..."


"Please.." replied Hans. A second later Hans also chatted with Angel.Hans listened to Angel's story, because Hans only asked once about the state of the womb but Angel answered at length, wide, it makes Hans bored. Lucky not long later Prasetyo and Sonya joined, so Hans was not too bored.


While in the kitchen


Dira was stirring milk for Hara and Erik when Damar went into the kitchen.


"Dira.." said Damar surprised, seeing the figure of the person who had been a part of his life in the house of his father-in-law. The person he once loved so much but at the same time the person he had hurt. Dira turned his head and he was equally surprised when he saw there was Damar.


"Room..." Dira tried to smile and control himself, although his heartbeat began to irregular.


The atmosphere became awkward because the two did not expect to meet alone in one room.


"Alhamdulillah as you see.I am healthy and well." replied Dira who then intended to leave the kitchen immediately. But suddenly Damar's body blocked the door. "Excuse me Damar. My son is waiting outside..."


"Tell me first what happened to make you go away for so long... Did Hans hurt you... Did he hurt your heart? Tell me... Do you love him? Are you happy with him? ask Damar berdubi-tubi out of curiosity.


"What happened five years ago is my business with my husband. My husband Hans from the beginning always treated me very well. If you ask me if I love him, I love him even very much. For that reason, I am still at his side. And if you ask me, am I happy? Right now I am very happy, especially my happiness is now complete with the presence of our son.... Is it clear the answer you want dear Mr Damar? Now excuse me.." replied Dira firmly. Damar shifted his body, giving way to Dira.


"But I can't stop loving you." he said softly. Dira stopped his steps.


"Just bury the taste deeply.You already have a wife now, it feels very inappropriate if you still love another woman. Love your wife as well as your child-to-be.they need that feeling more than I do." said Dira without turning her head, then walked back to the park where her son played.


While Damar just silently pecked, staring at Dira's departure until the shadow disappeared from his view.


Hans was back in the living room with the Dira family.


"Mas.." call Dira slowly. Hans looked at his wife who was holding something.


"Yes." Hans replied gently as he extended his hand. He knew that Dira was currently uncomfortable with the incident in the kitchen earlier.


"Once the children drink milk we go home yes." take Dira while holding her husband's hand tightly.


"Yes..." Hans nodded with a meaningful smile.


"Why hurry, baby?" ask Sonya. Dira was still confused about what to answer, his brain was chaotic considering Damar's treatment of him earlier. Not because of Damar's love for him but he was more afraid if Angel and Hans knew the incident earlier. Hans might still be able to hold back his emotions because there was indeed no physical contact between Dira and Damar, but what about Angel? In addition, Angel is now pregnant, whose hormones are automatically unstable. Therefore, it is not impossible that Angel can rampage hysterically.


"Actually we still want to be here for a long time mi but pity Erik. Mamiinya Erik had advised me to not long gone.." said Hans representing his wife.


"But it's not noon yet.papa and mami still miss you guys." said Sonya again.


"Yes yes, even though we have not had time to talk, brother... Angel still knows.." said Angel.


"Yes next time we come here again.anything from now on Kak Dira is in Jakarta, so whenever you want, you can play at home. Anyway from now on Brother Hans will not let your wayward brother run away from home again." said Hans, looking at his wife's face and kissing Dira's hand with a friendly. There was envy in Angel's mind when she saw Hans treating her brother so affectionately. One thing she rarely received from her husband.


Prasetyo and Sonya looked at each other and smiled at the romance of the two of them.


"Yes yes... Angel can come to the house?"


"Sure. whenever you want." replied Hans.


Dira did not respond to the words and questions from Angel and Sonya, she was more silent and let her husband represent her. No one realized that, except Prasetyo who knew very well the nature of his daughter. But he chose silence, so as not to cloud the atmosphere.


"Maas, let's go home." whispered Dira spoiled.


"Yes, yes, call the children, we go home now." Hans said in a soft speech... And without waiting for a long time again, Dira immediately called Hara and Erik to be brought home.


It was already out of place for Damar, to feel jealous of Dira and Hans. But the love he had fostered over the years was so hard to kill, no matter how hard he tried to forget it. Even up to now Damar still grit his teeth holding back his jealousy when his neutrals must see the intimacy of Hans and Dira.


Finally Hans and his family came home, there was a murderous look in his eyes when Hans shook hands with Damar, though his lips tried to comment on a smile.
