Aunty, Lonely

14

Finally, after about an hour of travel, the car driven by Devina, her mother, Lissa and Kan Atep arrived at a simple house on the edge of the village. Kang Atep immediately parked their car in front of his employer's house. Then they all went down one by one, not least Lissa who had fallen asleep in the arms of her mother.

"Kang, do you want to go home or stay here?" Devina's mother asked Atep's kang who took Devina's belongings out of the trunk of the car.

"Go home, Madam." Answer the finished Atep kang who dropped all Devina's belongings. He then helped bring the items into the house.

"Thank you, kang. I'm sorry I called you in the middle of a mall like this." Devina's mother said when she entered the house.

"Father, mistress. It's my job. Yasudah, I'm going back first, madam."

"Yes, kang. Careful. Tomorrow you can take a break for two days."

"Eh, no need, madam."

"Father, I'm not too busy for the next two days."

"Good, madam. Thanks though. I'll say goodbye first,"

"Yes, you're welcome." Devina's mother closed the door of her house and went inside following Devina in her room. He knocked once to make sure his son and grandson were asleep or not. It's been 3 beats, no response from inside. His mother tried to open the door slowly which turned out not to be in the lock.

He then approached the bed in the room. It was seen that Devina had fallen asleep hugging her son. He knew his son was tired. Both physical and mental. This short incident must have drained a lot of his energy, so it was natural that he immediately fell asleep once he reached the bed.

"Pity you, son. The husband you fought in front of your mother and late father hurt you. Mother's grandchildren are affected." The mind of Devina's mother who did not feel had shed tears. The longer he looked at his daughter and granddaughter, the more pain his heart felt. Until without realizing it, tears that fell on Devina's skin.

"No, no." Devina's mother's lies immediately wiped away her tears.

"Sorry, mom. I'm afraid of mother's feelings." Said Devina who lunged at her mother with a hug. She understood that she was sad because of her.

"Not really, son. You never fucked mom."

"Yes, mom. I fucked mom with dad."

Devina's mother returned her child's embrace and stroked her son's back.

"Son, I've never been disappointed with what you've chosen. I'm sure Dad did too. You remember dad's last message?" The two of them are now looking at each other. There was no crying, only mutual feelings.

"Yes, mom. I want a message from Dad. You send me messages to make me always happy. That's it,"

"Well, so I want us not to be sad. Poor thing, Lissa, if we continue to grieve. Well, mommy wants to ask you. Are you ready to forget that guy?"

Devina pensively heard her mother's question. He is heartache. But love cannot simply be lost from the heart. Erpan was the first man he could love with all his body and soul. To let go, his heart was incapable. But his whole mind is different. If his heart wants to settle, then his mind asks him to let go.

"I'm tangent, ma'am." Honestly Devina who is not strong enough to try tough. Thinking of her husband only made her heart taste bitter.

"Son, I know it's heavy. But I want you to be happy. Let go of the man, let him go for his happiness. You are looking for your own happiness. I hope you understand, he doesn't deserve you. Let's start a new life." Devina's mother said she convinced her son to stay optimistic and upbeat.
