As soon as Marlina, Lukman opened the door again.
"Damn it, why did he come here after so long gone? I won't let him meet the kids."
"I'm the one who took the trouble of raising our three children alone. Now he comes easily apologizing, this I won't let go!"
"I'll never forgive him at any time. I won't!"
Lukman continued to mumble to himself, he really can not forgive what Marlina had done before. Although Lukman always told Ais not to hate his mother, but he himself often still felt the pain was very intense.
When Marlina came home from Lukman's house with uncertain conditions. Right in front of the gate of Bagas house, his car almost hit Bagas car that was coming out of the gate.
Ccccrrriiiiii....
The sound of car wheels squeaking due to sudden brakes.
Ais was annoyed by the sudden appearance of the car. Both the car being driven by him and driven by Marlina both brake each other suddenly.
"Den, just a minute." Ice out of the car and so did Marlina, she came out to apologize.
But when Ais saw who was driving the car, she was flabbergasted.
"Mother, how could he be in this city? Wasn't he in another city? after all this time, how could he suddenly be in plain sight? but I won't admit that I'm his son, a biological child he doesn't consider. Because he preferred a rich man over a husband and children, "Ais' inner self kept staring at Marlina who was stepping towards him.
"Son, I'm sorry yes. Because I'm in a hurry." Marlina cupped her hands together on her chest and stared softly at Ais.
But Ais did not say a word, she continued to stare cynically at Marlina. Until one rebuke shocked him.
"Ais, it's been a while." Bagas finally got out of his car and saw there was Marlina he said hello.
"Tante Marlina, how is Aunt here?" tanya Bagas.
'Bagas, hem anu is going for a walk. Then you're living here, in this house?" marlina asked as she stared at Bagas' house.
"Yes Aunt, please come by but I'm in a hurry because there's a morning meeting."
"Ais, let's go because I don't want to be late" Bagas's pinta stared at Ais.
Ice also entered the car as well as Bagas, he immediately drove Bagas car without a word.
While Marlina was wide-eyed and she kept staring at the departure of Bagas' car.
"Aise? is that my son Aisha, it seems like it is. Wasn't that time I saw Bagas driving a car was Mas Lukman. But that was Ais, that means Ais was my son. Why was it in front of my eyes that I was silent?" marlina stepped into her car and drove it back.
He heeded Bagas who offered to stop by his house.
'Ais is big, pretty, but why does she work as a driver? is it not school?"
Marlina's mind was fixed on Ais.
So is Ais who is currently also daydreaming Marlina. Precisely daydreaming of the past when he ran after his mother to fall but his mother still does not care, even he prefers a rich man who turned out to be Rindi's father.
Bagas was surprised to see the usual cheerful and carefree Ice was now silent.
"This pain will never just disappear, because it has been imprinted in the soul," suddenly Ais said strangely until Bagas was more confused.
"Is, what are you talking about? I asked him what he answered, and.please stop the car for a second."
Ais stopped his car as he looked the other way. But Bagas saw his tears.
With gentleness, Bagas grabbed the chin of Ais with both hands
and turned his face to Bagas's.
"Is, what makes you cry?" bagas asked in astonishment as his fingers wiped away the tears of Ice.
"It's okay, den. I wasn't crying just a flickering," Ais told a lie.
By the time Ais was about to stare in the other direction, Bagas again turned Ais's face to his.
"Ais, just tell me your sadness. And if by crying can make your heart relieved, then cry," said Bagas.
Until unconscious Ais even cried loudly, in front of Bagas. He also without hesitation grabbed Ais put it on his chest.
Bagas rubbed Ais's black mane.
"What's really going on, Ais? if I'm guilty of you I'm sorry. Just tell me what makes you like this? because you're not usually like this, Ais? you are a jolly girl and love to joke around" said Bagas.
After so long Ais cried involuntarily in Bagas' arms. By the time he had calmed down, he had stretched himself out of Bagas' embrace.
"I'm sorry, den. I did not realize that I had....
"Aware it's okay, I really enjoy it" interrupted Bagas cutting Ais's words.
"Aden what the hell is that talking?" asked Ais while wiping the tears with the tissue in front of the car glass.
"Ais, I want to say this right now?"
"Say what, den? later on, he said Aden had a meeting in the morning." The ice began to be ready to drive the Bagas car.
"Gosh, he's right, too. Oh yeah, let me just be here driving because your mood is uncertain."
Without waiting for long, Bagas got out of the car and stepped towards the wheel and asked Ais to move beside the wheel.
At first Ais refused, but finally he gave up too because his mood was uncertain because of meeting Marlina.
"It looks so sad, what is it? but I was in a hurry because there was a morning meeting, if not for sure I will ask this and I will entertain Ais even more," Inner Bagas while occasionally glancing at Ais who was daydreaming.
"Is, I have this story. You want to hear?"
"By, den. The story is for sure I will listen," said Ais turned to Bagas while trying to smile.
Bagaspun began to tell stories, to comfort the heart of Ais who was sad.
"On a cold enough night, a pedicab attendant was irritated at not being able to get passengers from during the day. Finally the rickshawman decided to just go home."
