I'm confused by all this. Mr. Karso knew his mother apparently.
"This is your son? Ayu where's Ayu?" Suddenly Mr. Karso knew Ayu's brother.
"Sepent ... Just sec. I'm still confused by all this. Why do you know Mom?" I asked Mr. Karso.
Mom's confused, she's looking for a seat nearby. Then I helped her to sit in the nearest chair.
"Sir Karso, please sit down!" my spoken.
"Well, a minute." Mr. Karso walked towards us.
Not long ago Ayu came.
"Sorry, Den. I ran Farrel and Ayesa off to school first" Ayu said.
Ayu then shook hands with our guest - Mr. Karso.
"I, Ayu, Sir!" said.
Mr. Karso was surprised to see Ayu's brother. Then, holding onto Ayu's shoulder repeatedly.
"You're a big boy, son!" There was sadness on his face.
My eyes shifted to Mom. He did not dare to look at the man. I just looked down after Mr. Karso greeted him.
"Sit, brother! We'll talk there, "take me to Ayu's sister.
Ayu's sister sat next to me. While Mr. Karso in the chair facing Mom. He looked at my mother who was still down.
I called Mak Elin to get us a drink.
"Sir, prepare four glasses, yes!" my orders to him.
"Good, Sir!" answer to Mak Elin.
I turned to the three people who were still silent to each other. I dare to start a conversation.
"Sir, I found a strange thing since you came earlier. Actually, Father who? Know me, Brother Ayu or Mother?" ask Mr. Karso.
Mr. Karso looked straight at Mom. Mom looked at me every now and then, at the middle-aged man.
"No! There's nothing between Mom and that guy!" Suddenly, my mother screamed at us.
Mom raised her ass, then left us, walked towards her room. I can't stop him.
Mr. Karso gasped to hear Mom's words. Equally, I was surprised.
"Is that true, sir?" my many. Ayu Kak is enthusiastic to listen to Mr. Karso's answer.
Mr. Karso took a long breath. Her lips lifted a few inches.
"I'm actually your father" he said slowly.
"It should be similar to the photo of the father owned by Mother. Mom said that Dad was dead" Ayu said.
"Yes, I knew Dad was dead when I was two."
"Then? Please tell me, sir!" pinta Ayu's.
"alright. At first our marriage was happy. Then, mom came with us. Mom suddenly arranged our lives." Mr. Karso took a breath for a moment.
"Drink first, sir!" my advice to the one who confessed to my father is this.
He also sipped a warm sweet tea made by Mak Elin.
"Mother asked me to divorce Ratih. Until we finally separated because I was betrothed to another woman of mother's choice. I lost track of you guys" he said sobbing.
"Oh my God, until it's like that, sir?" ask ka Ayu.
"But, all this time I said there was a salary from a retired father of two million every month," I said chimed in.
"Nothing. Maybe your mom has money from the others. I've never seen your mother again, how can I give her two million a month?"
"This incident makes me believe I can't believe it, sir. I still have the figure of Dad."
"I did too" said Ayu.
"Maybe you have money from another source." Ayu Kak suspected.
'I didn't pay attention, until I didn't know my mother's income. It turns out that there are many wounds, from the inner child, then wounds from in-laws and husbands. It's only right that I treat Niar like that, ' my inner self.
"I'm sorry Dad, Ayu, Deni! I'm not a good father to you. Dad was too soft, so he couldn't take care of you" he said with regret.
"I'm confused as to what to answer, Dad!" answer brother Ayu.
"With you calling me Dad, I'm already very happy. Thank you, Ayu!" Mr. Karso had no power to hold clear hair from both corners of his eyes.
"The father I thought was right doesn't exist. It was in front of me now" I said.
I should call him Dad now?
Dad looked at me.
"I'm sorry, Father, my children. I love you guys so much. But I can't escape all your Grandma's threats."
Deg ... Turns out Dad was having the same thing with my family's life that Mom was tracking. Why should this trauma continue? Can't you realize that if you continue on with us, more people will get hurt?
"Now you will live in this city. That's why we're looking for a home. Father's wife after your mother, she died two months ago. We don't have any children. That's why your grandmother regrets knowing that my wife and I can't have children, but we've lost you. It's too late, because you're gone." Dad sniffled in his story.
This unexpected encounter has been a valuable lesson in my life. How we should not waste those who are beside us. Without them, what are we.
"Yes, Dad. Grandma still there?"
"Your grandmother passed away two years ago. He was in a long regret. Dad can't do anything. Because they have been searched, no trace of you has been found. All your photos were burned by Grandma. So there's not a single photo left to look for you. We can't even look to Ratih's parents, because they've been so hurt with us."
Maybe Grandma regretted what she did, but she couldn't apologize to the people she hurt until she died.
"Alright, Dad. If you want to buy this house, please. Oya for Mom, we'll talk to her later. Maybe you are still shocked by this fact. So you have to be patient if you want to get an apology from Mom," I explained.
"Good, Deni. You are a wise man. Not like Dad who ended up regretting it until now."
"Dad, Ayu when she left Grandma's house was very small. Ayu forgot everything. Just remember there is often bought a doll by Dad. When Ayu leaves with Mom, Ayu is only allowed to bring one doll. Because it's a hassle she said if taken all." Ayu told her memories first.
I don't have any memories. Maybe because I was so young, I couldn't remember it.
"Yes, I'll buy it. You just give me his account number. I'll transfer."
"Well, Deni will send via WhatsApp" I replied.
"Deni, Ayu, I think Dad should come back. Please convey your Mother's apology. Hope our relationship can be better."
"Good, Dad."
Dad left our house. I drove him forward. He nodded at me before driving his car. I nodded back.
After that, we met Mother who was still angry in her room. Luckily it wasn't locked, we're coming in.
"Mom, we know everything. I know you must be mad at Dad. I also have no right to ask Mom to forgive me. But, Deni hopes that I can be wise in this matter," I said.
Mom is still quiet. He buried his face under the pillow. Ayu sister tried to reverse the position of Mother to face us.
"Yes, Mom. I see Father as a sincere man. So I hope you can forgive her."
I sat down on the chair by the side of the bed.
"Maybe you can't accept this now. But I hope you can accept Dad's apology. But, in the future, we leave everything to Mom."
Mother took a long breath. He closed his eyes, as if he had found himself in the past.
"Mom was really surprised. This wound has dried up, but it opens up again as Mom meets your father. I know it's impossible to come back. Something that has gone before is usually called a memory. And mom, don't want to remember that." Mother's tears are flowing.
Ayu's sister sat beside him, trying to wipe the mother's tears with a tissue.
"Yes, Mom. We understand," I said.
"Don't force me to forgive him."
"We're not gonna force Mom. We're just waiting for Mom's attitude." I chimed.
"alright. Hopefully in the future you can change your mind, so forgive her."
I was relieved after hearing it. May God give the best for our family.
"But ... I don't want to see your father again. I'm sick of seeing his face."
Ayu and I looked at each other. For now, it's better to just shut up.
