Dispute of the Heart (CALYA)

Acknowledgement of Sense

At the hospital, Haira was unconscious. Inside the room, Dirga and her parents were standing around the woman's bed.

"Dir ...," murmured Haira weakly.

Dirga approached, then extended his hand, holding Haira's hand.

"You're sober?" ask Dirga.

"Dir ... You won't leave me right?"

Dirga was silent for a moment. The weak eyes of his wife made him speechless. There is a sense of compassion that now haunts him.

"Oh, don't think about it. Better now you rest. The doctor said, you seem to have a lot of thoughts so that your emotional condition is unstable" said Dirga.

"How could I not think of that? I don't want to be cheated on. I don't want to be pitted. Please ... don't do that to me."

Hearing Haira's request, Ms. Edy and her husband looked at each other. They decided to leave the room.

In the hospital garden, a couple who began to enter the age of twilight was sitting on a park bench. They looked at the people passing by in the hospital.

"Sir .. What should we do?" ask Edy to her husband.

Mr. Edy took a breath.

"Nothing, Mom. Our job is to live out what is our destiny. Isn't this our choice, Mom?" muttered Mr. Edy.

Ms. Edy was drowned. In the moment when they had hope of having offspring, an obstacle again occurred. The real obstacles are the result of their own decisions.

This afternoon, Dirga's parents will return home. Meanwhile, it was Dirga who accompanied Haira in the hospital.

Arriving in front of the house, they saw someone going out of the front yard. Ms. Edy also invited her husband to cross over to the house. Apparently, it was Bagas who was just about to come out of the house to deliver the order.

"Excuse me, ma'am," said Ms. Edy.

"Yes, Mom?" sahut Bagas's.

"Does this man live in that house?" ask Mrs Edy.

"Oh, I only work here as a food order courier. But this is my friend's place to live. How, Mom, can I help you?" sahut Bagas's.

"Oh .. This, we're meeting with Calya, does she exist?" ask Mrs Edy.

"Sir Calya?" tanya Bagas.

"Em .. yes. Caly. He lives here, right?" ask Mrs Edy.

Bagas. "Yes, Sister Calya is my friend's sister. He does live here, and also manages this food sales business," said Bagas.

"Oh ..em we'd like to see him. Can Mas tell him to come out to see us?" mumbling Bu Edy again.

"If you may know, this is with whose Mom and Dad?" tanya Bagas confirmed the identity of the two guests.

"Oh .. We're Mrs Edy and Mr. Edy. Just say so, Calya must have known," said Ms. Edy.

Bagas nodded, understanding Ms. Edy's words. A moment later, he bids her go inside the house and meets Calya in the kitchen.

"Mbak, there are those who want to meet with Mbak Calya in front," said Bagas.

"Huh, who?" ask Calya.

"The name, Mrs Edy and Mr. Edy," Bagas said.

"Huh?" Calya was surprised to hear the two names being called.

Of course, because Calya recognized the name as her former father-in-law. Dirga's parents.

"How, Ma'am?" ask Bagas, returning Calya's focus to him.

"Oh .. yes, Ma'am will meet them" said Calya. "Already, you just leave to deliver the order. Myesha is coming soon for her next delivery" continued Calya.

Bagas and Calya came out together to the front page. Once there, Bagas went straight to his bike and passed away. Meanwhile, Calya is now face to face with her two former in-laws.

"Bus ... Sir ...," hiss Calya.

"Son Calya .. Can we chat for a minute?" ask Mrs Edy.

Calya nodded. "Yes, of course, Mom. Let's go inside, we're chatting inside" he said, pointing his hand at the house.

The couple agreed, and according to Calya's step into the house. There, Calya invites them to sit on the guest sofa. A moment later he bade to the back. Of course, Calya will make drinks for her guests.

Until a few minutes later, Calya was again present in the living room and now has served two glasses of warm tea along with several pieces of snacks.

"Please taste it, Mom, sir," Calya said after sitting down.

Ms. Edy and Mr. Edy grabbed each of their tea glasses, then sipped them.

"Thank you, Kathy. Em .. actually, Mom and Dad came to make sure what Dirga had told us," Ms. Edy said after putting the glass back.

Calya was stunned for a moment. She knew that what Dirga's mother meant was her pregnancy. Calya was sure that Dirga had told her parents that. However, he could not understand the other intentions that they would do after making sure about the pregnancy.

"Lantas ... After confirming it, is there anything else you and I want to know from Calya?" ask Calya later.

"We ... we ...."

"We want to apologize to Nak Calya for what happened. We apologize for what we did to Nak Calya." Mr. Edy took over his wife's words.

"I'm sorry?" calya lirih.

"Yes, we hope that Nak Calya and Nak Calya's parents will forgive us for making Nak Calya feel that injustice. Also ... forgive Mother who may have said inappropriate words to Nak Calya," said Mr. Edy again.

Calya took a breath. He is trying to control his own feelings. Recalling how her former mother-in-law once insulted her, then asking Dirga to choose between the two of them instantly resurrected the pain in her heart. Therefore, he tried to control that sense, so as not to affect his current attitude. Anyway, everything has passed.

"There's nothing to forgive, ma'am, sir. If we continue to think of it as a mistake, we will never be at this point. Calya has risen, and is starting a new life. Likewise with Dirga and Haira, and Mother and Father. No need to look to the past anymore. It's no use" said Calya later.

"But ... What about the child you're carrying, son?" said Mrs Edy.

Calya was shocked by that question.

"There's nothing you need to worry about with this child" Calya said.

"But ..he needs a father. Isn't Dirga his father?" said Mrs Edy again.

"Yes, it's true. Dirga is the father of this boy. Once he is born, he will still have the right to know about his biological father. He is also the grandson of Mother and Father" said Calya.

"Then ... means you are willing to rejoin Dirga?" sergeant Bu Edy.

Calya slightly raised her eyeballs in shock at Bu Edy's words.

"How could you think that? Calya did not say that she would be referring to Dirga because of this child" Calya said.

"But ... didn't you say that Dirga would still be the boy's father?" sahut Bu Edy's.

"Yes, this child will forever be the biological child of Dirga. That cannot be denied. But ... doesn't mean Calya and Dirga will be together again. That's not gonna happen. Calya will never marry Dirga again. Mom and Dad know if now Dirga has a wife?" calya.

"But .. do you still love Dirga? Answer honestly, son," asked Ms. Edy again.

Hearing that question, Calya was silent for a moment. The woman could feel that her former mother-in-law was really hoping that she could re-establish a husband-wife relationship with her son. However, Calya also can not lie to her heart, that in her heart is no longer engraved the name of the ex-husband.

Slowly Calya took a breath, then said, "No, Mom, Calya already has no feelings for Dirga. After the divorce, all the feelings that ever existed were over."

"Are you sure, son? Try again to ask your heart," said Ms. Edy.

"heart? Of course, Mom. Calya had already asked Calya's heart. How can one heart save two loves?" calya.

"What is Nak Calya?" ask Ms. Edy about the meaning of Calya's words.

"Yes, Mom. One heart is for one love. Calya already loves other men" said Calya.

Right at that moment, Praba entered the living room, having just descended from the top floor. He halted his steps and looked at Calya who looked surprised when he realized the presence of the man.

While on the other hand, Ms. Edy was visibly riled up by the recognition of Calya who no longer loved her son.
