Dispute of the Heart (CALYA)

Threnody

"Whatever that reality is, it's worth revealing now." Dirga who had been silent, now made a sound.

Mr. Broto is still silent. He felt unable to express that reality. Haira would be devastated if she found out.

"What exactly happened to Haira so Mama said that Haira would never give grandchildren to my parents?" ask Dirga again.

"The accident not only took away your baby, but also Haira's womb. Doctors had to remove her uterus to save Haira's life." Mr. Broto finally muttered.

The murmur that caused panic. Haira was really hit. He screamed loudly. Meanwhile, Ms. Edy immediately felt dizzy and was about to faint. However, the husband hurried to hold his body. Shaking his shoulders to regain consciousness.

On the other footing, Dirga sculpted without a word. Various feelings raged in his mind.

"Sir .. calm down, Brother." Mirna tried to calm her sister.

Broto immediately hugged Haira's body.

"Navy ... Honey, we'll always be there for you, son," Broto said.

"That's impossible, I can't possibly lose my uterus. I can still get pregnant. I have to say that it's not true" Haira cried as she continued to cry.

"Mom, Mr. .. Let's go home first, let Haira rest," Dirga asked his parents.

Hearing this, Broto said, "You must not go, Dirga boy. You should stay here to accompany Haira. He needs you now. He needs your strength."

Dirga was silent for a moment. "Calya just needs a break, Pa. Your existence is enough to calm him down. Dirga and Dirga's parents also need to calm their minds, because in fact we are also in shock over this."

"But you're Haira's husband. Don't you see what's happening to her now?" said Mr. Broto while pointing towards Haira who was still sitting while being hugged by her mother and sister who were all sobbing.

"Yes .. precisely because I am her husband, I feel de javu. I once had a wife, where when she was down, I wasn't by her side. I once left a wife, just because both of my parents demanded offspring from her. I've heard people call her barren, when she has a uterus, and even doctors never convict her of it. I cannot accompany Haira at this time, because it just makes me hit. Sorry, but Dirga has to go."

After saying that, Dirga stepped away, followed by his parents. Meanwhile, Haira was shrieking even more.

"No! Dirga .. don't go!"

But Dirga did not seem to care. He kept walking, and entered the car with his parents. Inside the house, Mr. Broto and his family are still trying to appease Haira.

Once at home, Dirga didn't say much. He went straight into the room.

He felt so broken in regret. He felt that karma was befalling both families who had committed injustice to his ex-wife.

Broto's family has broken a promise. His own family has cornered Calya. And he himself became the main character in the game.

Nonarable. Cannot give offspring. That nickname is always included for Calya. How her parents praised Haira for her pregnancy.

Until without realizing it, clear circles dripped from both corners of his eyes. Dirga crying.

***

This morning, Dirga decided to return to the city of her duty, without informing Haira. When saying goodbye to his parents, Dirga did not talk much.

"What to say, Mom?" ask Dirga.

"Yes .. about Haira, your wife ...."

Dirga exhaled.

"It is not Dirga who must be patient, but Mother and Father" said Dirga.

Ms. Edy just got an answer like that. Whatever his son said was true. They are the parents of Dirga who really expect the presence of offspring successors.

Until the moment Dirga passed away, only silence occurred. Neither Mr. Edy nor Ms. Edy, no one else started a conversation with Dirga. They realized that the son was also hit with the incident.

"Bu .. are we reaping karma?" mr. Broto said tonight while in the bedroom with his wife.

"What karma, sir?" sahut Bu Edy's.

"Calya, Mum. Where is he now?"

"Lho .. Why did you suddenly say his name? He is no longer anyone to us. What does this have to do with karma?"

"Didn't we think we can't give offspring to us? Isn't that why we agreed to Dirga's second marriage?" continued Mr. Edy.

Hearing that, Ms. Edy was stunned. Thought hovering. He recalled how the first time Dirga revealed to him that he fell in love with a woman he met in his first place of duty.

From the photo shown by Dirga, Ms. Edy could see that the beautiful girl in the bank employee uniform was a good person. It was evident when he first met her. Right on the day they came to propose her to be their son's wife.

Ms. Edy recalled, how she greeted the girl happily as her daughter-in-law. He was very confident that Dirga would be well taken care of in Calya's hands. Sure enough, that's what happened. The son-in-law was willing to give up work to serve the husband.

However, their selfishness in the desire to have grandchildren has driven them to do things that are unfair to Calya. They continued to let the woman get hurt until she finally had to be eliminated.

Ms. Edy also remembered when she came to Calya, insulting her in such a way. It requires Dirga to choose between herself as the mother or the woman who is the wife of her son.

It was still clear how Bu Edy glorified Haira who was pregnant with their successor in front of Calya. Then, his memory goes back to the moment where Haira told him a lie the night the accident happened. Two different traits between his two daughters-in-law.

Ms. Edy closed her eyes.

His thoughts drifted to both of Calya's parents. They must have been devastated by what happened to their daughter. The daughter they had left to their son, to be guarded with all their souls on the day of Dirga and Calya's wedding. Their feelings must have been very broken when the princess came home as a widow without being ushered in by anyone.

The various shadows that came across finally shed Bu Edy's tears.

"Really, Sir. We are reaping our karma" said Ms. Edy with unstoppable tears.

Mr. Edy can't even cover his wailing. His eyes that had been glazed earlier, now draining a clear circle.

The couple hugged each other to strengthen each other.
