BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

62. Steps are on you

Nadia could only lie in her prison, the cramped room in Bang Herial's house with a crying heart. Since the incident three days ago, he no longer knows how Bimasena.

Of course, he will not forget how the face of the lover was hit by a heavy hand Bang Herial. It felt like flying there to treat the lover's wounds. But whatever the power, his legs and wings have now been cut off Bang Herial.

He was not like the inmates who were given extra care by Bang Herial and Mpok Nana so as not to run away. While his longing for the dream of the heart has exploded.

But what about Bimasena himself? Do they keep fighting for their story? Or choose to quit because of yesterday?

I don't know.

From the beginning, this relationship was difficult. Because the time gap is between them.

If Bimasena has given up, let him remain here to cultivate the taste.

Dark clouds that afternoon, followed by cries from the sky more complete the pain of longing that scratches the heart.

Is there still time for him to meet with Bimasena if the man has admitted defeat and surrendered?

I hope that.

Enough to say, I love you, I love you. Together or not, that feeling will be eternal all the time. Then, let time kill him, so that he can walk calmly carrying a feeling that always resides in the chest.

In the rain, announce this to him.

"Your father and mother-in-law are coming" Mpok Nana suddenly appeared from behind the door startling him. Even more surprised to hear who came.

He did not know how to hide his face to cover up the guilt towards his father and mother-in-law. Moreover, her mother-in-law came to bring soto lamongan, her favorite food. They come as if they are beating the sick, not coming to judge them.

Nadia, her two in-laws, Bang Herial and Mpok Nana sat around the dining table. At first they all sat quietly, as if letting the sound of rain on the zinc speak.

"Eat this soto first, son, while it's still hot. Mama was cooking soto lamongan for you before coming here," said her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law took a plate and spoon, filled it with soto, then thrust it at her.

The attention of her mother-in-law only made her heart run. He finds the figure of his parents who have died to Tristan's father and mother. But why would he betray these two very noble men?

"Eat first Nadia. Pregnant women should eat a lot. Let the baby be healthy. Do not think too much, if you are stressed, can have an impact on the condition of the fetus." It was her father-in-law's turn that deepened her guilt.

Instead of receiving a plate containing soto offered by her in-laws. Nadia cried even sobbing, then stood up from her chair toward her mother-in-law. He sat down, hugging and kissing his mother-in-law's knees.

"I'm sorry Nadia Ma, forgive Nadia Pa. Nadia does not deserve your kindness. Nadia has sinned, betrayed you and shamed you with shame. I'm sorry Nadia Ma, Pa."

In her tears, she could feel how her mother-in-law's hand gently stroked her hair. It was a huge blow to him.

How could the two old men hide the glimmer of disappointment he had scratched into their hearts?

With hands that did not stop stroking her hair, words flowed gently from her mother-in-law's lips. Speech that is not only intended for him, but for anyone in the dining room. Including Bang Herial and Mpok Nana.

"For so long, it's not that we don't know if our son Tristan is treating Nadia badly. Tristan often said rudely and did not care about Nadia. Even when Nadia caught chickenpox, Tristan left her. We often advise him, but Tristan can't change his attitude."

"We are very grateful because Nadia has been able to face Tristan's attitude with great patience. But Tristan's attitude may have been beyond the limits of Nadia's patience. So that something is not desirable for a household."

Her mother-in-law's words further extended her crying. Because he felt his mother-in-law was protecting him, no matter how bad he did.

Bang Herial cleared his throat, before speaking.

"Om, Auntie, we on behalf of the family again apologize for what our sister has done. We are ashamed of Nadia's behavior. Forgive our brother who doesn't know this self."

He did not need to feel hurt for what Bang Herial said. Because it is true. What he did was embarrassing for the family. Bang Herial as the oldest figure in the family who holds responsibility for the family.

His angel-hearted father-in-law uttered a very wise sentence.

"Everything has a cause and a consequence. What Nadia did started from Tristan's attitude as well. Let this be a lesson to both of them. Tristan can change his attitude and Nadia returns to her commitment at the wedding. Because the harmony of the household is the responsibility of both, husband and wife."

What his parents-in-law had said, was a sign that they had forgiven his mistake.

Is it fitting that this sinner should receive their kindness?

No, it's very inappropriate.

So once again Nadia had to hurt her two in-laws. He could not fulfill his in-laws' wishes anymore.

With a still sobbing cry, he expressed his desire, and,

"Nadia really doesn't deserve Papa and Mama's kindness. The sins committed by Nadia are enormous, not worth forgiving. This traitorous Nadia is also no longer worthy of Tristan."

"So Nadia asked for the blessing and sincerity of Papa and Mama, Nadia wanted to part with Tristan."

Not just because it is no longer appropriate to be the daughter-in-law of the two angel-hearted in-laws.

But because his steps were fixed on Bimasena.

******

Maurika will never forget, message papa and her mother once she starts growing up a teenager.

"Do not serve and believe when approached by strangers. It could be that person has bad intentions towards you. So the girl has to be smart to take care of herself."

But what if he was suddenly approached by a handsome man with black eyes in a cool car?

From his face and skin alone, he could tell if the handsome man who approached him was a classy man.

As he got down from his schoolmate's shackles at the mouth of his alley, he was approached by a man.

Even though he is still a teenager smelling fast, it does not mean he can not recognize good items. So that as soon as the athletic body man approached her, he gave her sweetest smile.

"Maurica?"

How did the man know his name? In school, his name is less famous.

"Yes Om." Om is indeed the most suitable name for that person. Because it is very clear if their age is far adrift.

"Known. About Bimasena." The man extended his hand.

The name 'Bimasena' has been heard many times since the problem hit the household of Aunt Nadia. The late Aunt Nadia was locked up by Papa Herial in her home.

And when comparing the friendly om who is in front of him now with Om Tristan, then if he is the Aunt Nadia, it is clear he will choose om in plain sight.

Finally he welcomed Om Bimasena's handshake. His hands are strong and big. Shake his hand tightly. Make it thump despite knowing, om it belongs to Aunt Nadia.

"Can you please ask Maurika for help?"

He nodded, with a gaze that never stopped looking at the beautiful face in front of him. Although some bruises appear on the cheeks om it, still the face was .. handsome.

What dreams did he have last night suddenly get smothered by a handsome guy like this.

"Can Om Bima talk to Aunt Nadia via Maurika's mobile phone?"

"Don't Om. Papa's knowledge, Ika's cell phone can be confiscated by Papa."

"Then give this phone to Aunt Nadia." Om Bimasena grabbed an expensive cell phone from his pants pocket. Surrender him. But he returned to shake.

"Don't Om. Papa's knowledge, Maurika was also punished with Aunt Nadia."

Om it was just laughing, not angry even though he had already rejected it twice.

"Then can you send a message to Aunt Nadia?"

Now he nodded, and gave him a piece of paper and a pen that was requested by him. He wrote something, folded the paper, and told him,

"Please give it to Aunt Nadia! It's both of us's secrets, isn't it?"

He nodded back. But before moving into the Gang, it prevented him.

"Om buy Maurika before you go home."

******

Nadia ironed her clothes that had dried after being dried.

What is Mpok Nana ironing tool that is too heavy? Or he who does not have enough energy even though only to rub clothes with ironing tools?

Four days had passed since Bimasena came to this house, there was no longer any sign of the man coming back to look for him.

Makes him lose hope.

It's impossible to step back to Tristan. Moreover, last night he had said goodbye to his in-laws. Although opposed by her in-laws, Bang Herial and Mpok Nana. But there was no longer any desire of his heart to return to Tristan.

If Bimasena had given up, and left, he would have lived his life alone. She will give birth and raise her baby alone.

What if he misses Bimasena?

He only hoped that the child he was born would be a man who looked like his father. So that the face of his son was replaced who became a penitentiary to Bimasena.

Until Maurika went into his room. Hand over a piece of paper, which made his heart bloom again.

"From Om Bima," said Maurika with the lowest voice, but did not fail to make him aghast.

"Where are you Bima?" he whispered to Maurice.

"Minimarket, beside the entrance to the Gang," Maurika whispered back to him.

He smiled at his feet. It turns out that the ponakan that he had been paying for his school was reliable.

But after that he glared at Maurika, for hearing the innocent confession of the boy.

"So Om Bima Traktir Maurika eating sushi. Trus Om Bima also gave money to Maurika for buyers of pulses. But the buyer's pulse is worth a new cell phone."

When the money is worth a new mobile phone, how much nominal has Bimasena given to the pound?

"Maurika, the money from Om Bima is saved for the needs of the Maurika school. Aunt Nadia doesn't have any more money now to pay for Maurika's school."

He could only shake his head looking at the innocent face of his bangs.

Who taught Maurika to take money from someone she just met?

Despite being given by Bimasena, he disliked Maurice's attitude as such. Of course he wants to see Maurika can be independent, not mentally like Bang Herial, who always expects the help of others.

And his eyes grew even more glaring at the next utterance from the little boy.

"Tante Nadia choose Om Bima only. Om Bima is handsome, rich and kind."

He only realized, when his little bangkan was already growing teenagers. Because I can judge a handsome man.

As Maurika left the room, with a pounding heart he immediately unfolded the paper and read the writings of the beloved man of the heart.

But the writing turned out to make his face heat up and his cheeks met with red.

On top of the car we used that night?

There was no way he would forget the embarrassing events of the night.

The incident on top of a black Mercy car.

When Bimasena lightly tore through his underwear, he found it stuck on the vehicle's gear lever.

Also a pretty lace bra that should end up in the trash can.

The most expensive underwear she ever had.

Only used once and ended that night.

Bim, wait for me. I'm gonna come.
