Distance to Heart

P a r t 28

Windy and I then ate the food in front, Windy was so good at eating his ordered chicken soto plus a plate of white rice. He was very hungry, but I refused to ask further. Afraid that he would be embarrassed. While I eat my favorite hodgepodge without using rice.

"Oh yes, Kay. Have you ever seen Andra again?"

"Andra, you mean?" I pretend I don't know.

"The man who was the victim with you, it's called Andra. She's my cousin, but I made her a victim, too. He was very attentive to me and my family. Among my many cousins. He is the only one who cares about my situation the most. What else is it like now, when we finally fell poor," he explained.

"Your family, falling into poverty?"

"Yes, this is all because Papa made a mistake. Papa was corrupt in Andra's family company, so Papa had to endure five years in prison, but I misunderstood him when he was arrested for the first time. I thought that Papa was just a scapegoat. For the mistakes that have happened in the company. That's why I avenge my father's actions. To Andra, but Andra is still good with my family," Windy explained as she sobbed.

The sitting position I attached to Windy so that I could give Windy a tissue to wipe the tears that began to run down his cheeks. The woman seemed to deeply regret her past actions towards Andra and myself.

"Andra's my cousin from the father line. Since childhood he and his brother have been very close to my family. His late father also helped my father when his business went bankrupt. Pakde even told Papa to want to work in his company, but the trust that Pakde has given Papa. Even in the wrong use of Papa to have fun and fun with other women,"

"As a result, the Andra family company went bankrupt because of Papa and Papa in prison for having to take responsibility for their mistakes. At that time I was still living out of town and studying there. So that I was uninformed, and instead misunderstood Andra's family and made Andra a victim with the aim of humiliating her family,"

"Then why are you, also making me a victim of that misunderstanding, what's my fault, Win?"

"Because I thought you were the woman my sister-in-law loved. Doctor Bimo. This is because my sister thought you were the third person in the middle of her marriage. The goal is that you and Andra get the same shame and heartache that my brother and family feel and our revenge can be avenged with just one paddle, he said, but all of that turned out to be wrong and you have fallen victim to this misunderstanding" Windy explained as tears continued.

"That, Win. Because of your crimes. I was pregnant and had to hide that pregnancy from anyone. Andra knew it, too, but she disappeared during the promise to take responsibility for me" I explained.

"You ever been pregnant?"

"Yes, I got pregnant and gave birth to Andra's child. While in a remote village, without my family knowing,"

"Oh so now, I know why you forced me? To give you your home address four years ago, so the kid he's looking for is a kid-,"

"Yes the boy's name is Razka Fadillah, the son of both of us, but because I don't want my family to know about the boy. I gave my son to someone else to take care of,"

'So you're separated from your son?"

I nodded at that question. However, suddenly the ringing sound of my cell phone surprised both of us. I then lifted it up. There was a male voice interrogating me without giving me a chance to speak. I can guess that he was holding back the overflowing anger. I got up from my seat and took Windy home with me.

"Let's Windy, I'll take you home,"

"No, Kay. I can still go home alone 'kok. I still have money for public transport, anyway,"

"Come, Win. No need to refuse, anyways your house is the same direction as my house,"

Windy was finally willing after I persuaded him to be with one car. We both chatted every day as I led him out of the hospital building. Then he asked me something.

"Oh yeah, a friend told me you were getting married. When, Kay?"

"Allah has been done yesterday,"

"Oh you were married yesterday, congratulations, Kay. So it doesn't feel good to me. No thanks gift. By the way, who's the lucky guy to be your husband, Kay?"

"Thank you for what he said, which must be the same normal man, who can accept my situation now,"

"Yes, but what's his name, Kay. Try to tell me. I'm gonna be a kepo 'nih?"

"That's his car. Apparently he picked me up, Win. Later, I know you as well as he fits in the car," I said, pointing to the red car even though I forgot that Windy was now blind.

I gave the code so Andra wouldn't speak body language. Before I helped Windy get in the car and sit in the back passenger seat. A few minutes later, I switched to sitting in front next to the driver's seat.

Andra then turned on the engine and drove her car at a speed that was leaving the hospital. He then cleared his throat glancing at me who had been sitting quietly beside him.

"Now, I've been in the car. I can't 'don't know your husband, Kay, '" said Windy to melt the atmosphere.

"Yes, okay" I replied, pointing back

"Hi, my name is Windy. My friend is Kay uh, meaning Kanaya. Nice to meet you," said Windy.

Andra smiled faintly at her cousin's words, but soon afterwards she cleared her throat.

I immediately rewarded him with a punch on his shoulder. Andra grimaced and rubbed the shoulder I hit earlier. I then used body language to tell him to return the introduction from his cousin.

"Your husband has a toothache, Kay. How come he's just beating"

"Gua no longer has a toothache, Win. But the cave was again upset by the same cave, from earlier waiting cave in the parking lot. Not too big either. Uh, don't even know it's nice to bahin the same people you in the cafeteria," Andra cerocos at length.

"Andra! How can I 'clean lo, which is-,"

"Well, you can, the cave pellet people use jaran rocking!" sambar Andra.

"Don't really, Kay?"

"Over the story, Win. Later sometime, I'll tell you about this, just like you," I replied.

Not feeling the journey to the Windy house was almost at the Windy family home. Windy House was not the house that used to be where I often visited, but now Windy lives in the village. His house was not as big as it used to be.

"Udah up, Win. hurry you down, we both still want a honeymoon. Don't bother us anymore" said Andra half-shooing in a joking tone.

"Oke 'deh kalo that. Thanks, Kay. I've bothered to be taken, not all of you, stop by the house first" said Windy before getting out of the car.

"Thank you, Win. Next time, it's late afternoon" I said, helping him get out of the car.

"Wait, when will your eyes be operated on?" ask Andra.

"If there is no obstacle God willing next month, Ndra,"

"Okay, call the cave, yeah. If you're gonna be in surgery?" answer Andra

"That must be it, Ndra. Without you asking too, the cave tetep kabari lo. Who wants to pay for cave eye surgery? If not lo,"

After driving Windy, Andra immediately drove his car at a fast speed not towards home to the apartment, but again headed to another area.

"So you're the one who financed Windy's eye surgery,"

"Yes, I feel sorry for him, Windy once confided to me. If his son likes to be bullied by his friends. If she had a blind mother,"

"Not even to this street 'sih, Ndra. Where are we going?" many confused.

"You go to KUA, take care of our wedding documents, but I think we've had an investigation, "

"But that's done,"

"It's done, but it's your document, you want to marry Erwin. But the truth is you even married me. So I'm gonna take care of this paperwork to get it done, right,"

"Emang, why?"

"I want to make a birth certificate,"

"Who's birth, for whom?"

"Make Razka, I want her to be recognized by the state. Razka's our son, so later this new school year, he can go to school. During this time he had difficulty entering school because he did not have complete documents. It could have been a deed or adoption made by Nurbaiti, but I'm forbidden,"

"Why are you banning it?"

"Yes, obviously, I forbid. I'm Razka's real father and I want to be on Razka's birth certificate. I'm his father's name, not someone else's,"

"So what is it because it's your purpose to marry me suddenly, Ndra?"

"Maybe yes, this is one of the factors" Andra said casually while continuing to focus on driving.
