Devotion of Love

Out of Town

"Agam, I was once in your position. I lost Nissa and the twins. Pain is far from our heart. I've felt it before, but one thing is different from the two of us. Me and Nissa still have a soul mate that unites. Instead you and Tika, maybe split up much better. We will not ask for Tika's happiness on you. Be firm enough, decide what's best for Tika and the twins. You're entitled to the twins' lives, but Tika's no way you're holding on!" dimas said kindly, sloppily patting Agam on the back.

"Can't I and Tika be together!" agam lirih. Nissa and Dimas were silent and did not answer Agam's question. A question that never had an answer. This is a question that should have been answered two years ago. Dumb down, when hope is no longer there.

There was the sound of a suitcase wheel being pulled by Tika. The sound of Tika's heels clashing with the floor. There was a loud sound in the living room of Nissa's house. Agam and Zalwa looked up together, looking at Tika who was pulling a medium-sized suitcase. The real elegance of Tika is seen by Agam, a perfection that detaches almost perfectly from Agam's hands.

Tika walked slowly out of her house. Without looking at Agam. No one can guess Tika's heart. Is there any Agam name in Tika's heart? Or all has disappeared gone unnoticed. Dimas and Nissa were stunned by the look on Agam Pias's face staring at Tika. It was clearly a sad face that was no longer able to be spoken.

"Wait on!" yelled Dimas, immediately Tika stopped her small steps. He turned his body 90° facing towards the living room. Tika sees Agam and Zalwa sitting opposite Dimas. Tika nodded slowly, as a signal she listened to Dimas' words.

"You're using papa's car. Don't use your car or your property. It's night, you're going to travel far. More comfortable and certainly safe using papa sports car. Last afternoon I checked and heated the engine. So you don't have to worry!" dimas said loudly, Tika nodded slowly. Nissa smiled at Tika's stubbornness. There were no tears or anger. When with both eyes. Tika saw Agam together to pick up his baby. Is this sincerity or unlimited patience? One thing is certain, Tika's determination is only for her baby. For the destruction of Tika will be the destruction of her son.

"Mother, Hana and Hanif are still wearing shoes. They'll be out soon, I'll say goodbye to them. So I'm going!" tika said, Nissa nodded slowly. Tika walked over to Nissa and Dimas. At a glance he glanced at Agam who was looking down. There is no hatred or affection for a man named Agam. Tika's heart was too sick, to hate Agam. Instead of loving Agam, Tika was too afraid of getting hurt again. Silence seeks comfort and smiles for the sake of her baby. The path Tika now chooses.

Tika kisses the back of Nissa and Dimas' hands. After seeing her and receiving the car keys from her father. Tika walked out of her house. Right in front of the door, there was the sound of Hana and Hanif's footsteps running after Tika. Hana and Hanif run while calling Tika. Suddenly everyone panicked, not least Tika who immediately turned her head. Spontaneous Tika stopped her steps. Agam and Zalwa run after Hana and Hanif. Dimas and Nissa followed Hana and Hanif's footsteps.

"Mama!" hana and Hanif shouted, they ran while carrying pillows and bolsters. Tika was confused to see Hana and Hanif. They were ready, even asking themselves to stay with his father. Let alone seeing them cradling their pillows and bolsters. Agam was speechless seeing the warmth of Hana and Hanif on Tika. Even his two sons did not look at him at all. It was as if Agam wasn't there.

"What's wrong? Why are you running inside the house? Mom once said, don't run inside the house. You can fall!" tika said softly, Hana and Hanif nodded in understanding. Both of them were as if they had admitted their mistake. Tika instantly melted down whenever she saw their faces welding them. Hana and Hanif remained silent. Every time Tika scolded him. Again, Agam could only silently look. His hands seemed to want to hug, but the distance between them was clearly visible.

"Mama, this is Hanif's sleeping pillow. Mama can take him, so you don't miss Hanif. If you miss Hanif, you can hug him. Imagine Hanif that mama is hugging!" said Hanif innocently, Tika silently received Hanif's small pillow. Then Tika looked at Hana whose own smile was holding her roll.

"Mama, this is Hana's favorite bolster. Slightly smelly because Hana was once an ompolin. Mama can take him too. So that you remember brother Hanif and Hana there is always for mama!" hana said innocently, with a hand that began to tremble. Tika receives pillows and bolsters belonging to Hanif and Hana. Tika kissed the two petite objects of her baby. A drop of tear drops soaks the pillowcase and bolsters. Tika was crying not sad to be separated from her two children. Tika was filled to see the affection of Hana and Hanif.

Tika pulls the tiny bodies of Hana and Hanif. He hugged both of them tightly. Kiss their faces in turn. Hana and Hanif put their tiny hands on Tika's neck. They shook their heads on Tika's shoulders.

"Dear mama, forever you will always be close to mama. Even though your mama's eyes don't see you. Even though your ears don't hear your voice. Trust me your heart can feel and hear you. As long as you promise your mother. You'll obey your father and be a good boy as long as you're gone!" said Tika, Hana and Hanif nodded together. Tika released Hana and Hanif's hugs. Then stood staring at Agam and Zalwa alternately. Dimas and Nissa nodded proudly at Tika's wise demeanor. Not the hatred that Tika showed, but the greatness of the soul that could never be reasoned. Either a stupidity or a defeat shown by Tika? But one thing is certain, the great heart of Tika is none other than his affection for his baby.

"Your words to Hana and Hanif, as if you never expected a breakup in our marriage. But your cold attitude and sharp gaze. As the answer to my false hope. In an instant you destroy a hope that seems real, but it turns out to be just a fake. Should I really let you go! Or I'm selfish in maintaining a marriage that's no longer intact!" batin Agam pilu's.

"I won't leave Hana and Hanif to you. Because they are still your responsibility, I will only remind you. Respect their opinions and take care of their feelings. Their age is not as mature as they think. Don't let them step wrong. If not I'll make sure, this is the last time you take him away. I was able to survive with a broken heart and soul. But I wouldn't be able to think right, if Hana and Hanif's tears were dripping!" said Tika coldly, then went to her car. Tika placed the pillow and bolster the twins next to her wheel.

"Well, can't we talk from heart to heart. At least as someone who has known!" said Agam shortly after chasing Tika.

"How do we speak from heart to heart? When my heart has been broken, tired of waiting for a decision that never existed. My soul died and froze, when my waiting only ended in vain. Then which heart and soul do you expect!" said Tika.
