Broken Heart Man

Episode 6 Looking for Mama #3

The time Nathanael was waiting for arrived. He rushed out of his room stepping into his car. The car drove down the highway to the hamlet he had visited this morning. It didn't take long for Nathanael to get to the front of the hamlet. Then Nathanael stepped onto the third floor. He's been impatient to meet with Ratih's mother who was known a few hours ago from Dave that it was his mother. How he was, his face was really similar to her, various things flashed through his mind.

Nathanael looked at the face in the photo in his hand. Sure enough, he was very impatient to meet his real mother. Half-running arrived Nathanael on the third floor and stood in front of the door he had knocked on this morning.

Then Nathanael stretched out his hand to knock on the door. His back touched the brown door. The first knock had no answer from the inside. Then Nathanael tried to knock a second time. It was the same when he first knocked on the wooden door.

Nathanael did not despair knocked on him once again turned out there was only a speech but not from behind the closed door. The voice was behind his back. Nathanael turned his head and the figure of the young girl who had met him this morning greeted him.

Nathanael looked at the two eyes of the young girl as if she had just cried. Nathanael stood at the door, looking at the movement of the young girl who entered the house, hurriedly stuffing her clothes into the backpack. Then shut the door and go down. Seeing the young girl about to leave Nathanael stopped her steps.

" What's up ? " ask Nathanael.

" Mom .." That's all that came out of the young girl's mouth while shedding tears.

" What's wrong with mom ? " ask Nathanael again.

" Mom was in an accident" he said he could not stem his tears to fall on both of his clean white cheeks.

Nathanael followed the young girl down the stairs. Just as the girl was about to board the transport Nathanael pulled her hand and took her to her car. Nathanael drove her car to the hospital as directed by the girl. After arriving at the hospital Nathanael followed the girl to a room.

His steps slowly drew closer to the bed where the woman was lying. There lay a frail middle-aged woman whose face resembled her.

" Mama" his his hiss slowly. The middle-aged woman looked over.

" My son" he said softly.

There was sadness and happiness mixed into one within him. I have not seen the man who gave birth to her. For the first time in a situation like this.

Nathanael moved closer and sat down next to the woman. Grabbing his hand channeled the longing that he had been alone. Doesn't feel a clear grain just escaped on both cheeks.

The middle-aged woman was also surprised by Nathanael's unexpected arrival. The woman knew that the man next to her was her son whom she had left twenty-five years ago. But he could not see his son because the boy's father forbade him. All she could do was look at her son from afar.

The feeling of haru, sadness and happiness made the middle-aged woman cry. Making the girl next to him stare at the two with a confused feeling. What made him even more astonished and wondered in his heart was who this handsome man who came with him was. Why call her mother 'mama'.

Long ago the mother of Ratih and Nathanael dissolved in longing until a voice disperse the two.

" Mommy, who is she? " ask the girl.

Ratih's mother smiled and told the girl to come over and sit down.

" Sister "he said astonished. Ratih's mother nodded.

" He's your brother, Xander" said Ratih's mother.

The girl was still astonished and surprised but a second later smiled cheerfully. It turned out that the girl was not alone she still had an older brother and was handsome again.

" Mama" said Nathanael still could not believe the reality he had just seen.

He can find his mother and also have a sister.

" Yes to "said Ratih's mother.

" Is she really my sister" said Nathanael.

" Yes she's your sister's name is Vivi" said Ratih's mother.

" Vivi" said Nathanael, shuffling his sister's hair.

" Ish, this sister" said Vivi, pouting her hair in disarray because of Nathanael.

Nathanael and Ratih's mother laughed. Then the three talked lightly until a nurse came with a tray of food for the patient's dinner. The girl named Vivi received it and put it on the table.

" Do you want to eat now let Xander bribe" said Nathanael. Ratih's mother smiled and nodded.

Nathanael took the food and fed Ratih's mother to the ground without any waste. Then take the drinking water and give it to Ratih's mother.

After a while Nathanael let Ratih's mother rest to recover her health. And told Vivi to come home while she herself would wait for Ratih's mother.
