Father of My Son

Mother-in-law Must Know Too

"What's the situation now?" ask Maria who visited the house after Bia called about Dira's situation. Thank goodness her in-laws haven't returned to Heren due to Divan's birthday reception yesterday. Dira can even just wait for Divan to blow up the candle without being able to greet the guests. He was limp and always complained of pain in the waist.

"It's the same, Mah. I can't even get out of bed today. If eating is not a problem, just want this as well as want it. Suddenly crying does not know why," complained Bia.

In the living room at that time there was only Bia and her in-laws. Divan was waiting for Dira in the room, just reading a book together.

"Would it be better to take him to Heren? The hospital facilities are better. What's the problem" Maria suggested.

Bia thought for a long time. The problem Bia had suggested that and Dira instead whined unwillingly. The reason is it's hot - it's still winter.

"He wants to take Dira to a psychologist. It is likely that the doctor said these symptoms arise due to stress. Do you know that Dira often takes sleeping pills?" Finally Bia inevitably honest about the situation of Dira in-laws. Although Dira often want to not say everything to others.

Maria slips. "Isn't he? Since when?" Mary covered her mouth with her palm in shock.

Bia nodded. He knew Mary would be surprised to hear that. "Dira said since moving to Heren. He started to get anxious often and if it had been so his hands would shake. It's getting worse because if it's nighttime, he's waking up a lot and having trouble sleeping again."

Maria held her own hands. Routs of sadness are visible. "You know from when?" ask Maria.

Bia looked up at the stairs. He was afraid that Dira would hear it. "Bia often heard she woke up in the middle of the night and took mineral water to the refrigerator. See if anything strange. Before going to the fridge, she must have gone to open her briefcase. Curious, Bia found a sleeping pill there. For almost a month he has not taken sleeping pills. I can sleep normally without waking up. It's just, now it's like this" Bia's story.

"She said why?" Maria wanted to know more about the matter of her second son. He knew Dira was the most unruly, the most mischievous, only all this time his attitude seemed fine. It is like having no burden.

Maria often sees Dira on television. He longed for his son and wanted to meet even though Ernesto often forbade him first. Seeing Dira laughing through the program, he thought his son was happy with his life all along.

"She used to be kind of cuckoo with something. Dira is very sensitive. He often thinks hard to keep others from being disappointed. When hypnotherapy, Dira said if he was afraid of not being able to fulfill papah's wishes. He thought when he was an artist he would be free from that thought, it turns out that the more people who like him, he was afraid he could not be perfect and meet their expectations."

Maria remembers when Dira was little, her beloved rabbit died. He smiled and said he was okay. He was gone for a few hours and when he was found, he cried behind a haystack. He also once held his sister and fell to be scolded by Ernesto. Dira never approached Dustin again.

"True, from childhood he was very emotional. Because it made Dustin fall when he was carrying, Dira did not want to come with us to Heren. He'd rather stay with Grandma and Grandpa here." Maria manning. He took a deep breath.

"Bia, please accompany him. Rather than Mamah, you understand your husband a lot more. It may be true, if the disease cannot be detected, you better contact a psychologist again, "suggested Maria.

After Maria died, Bia went up to the room. He opened the door slowly and saw Dira opening the page of a fairy tale book with Divan. The father and son laughed and chattered together.

"No. There are four of these, the other two are invisible because the elephant's road is moving and seen from the side" explained Dira.

"Fine can't count. One, two! That's two knows!" divan Protest. Bia smiled amusedly.

"It's a book that's cheesy of kids!" moo Dira then closed it.

"Why close?" ask Divan.

"It's an ugly elephant, it's just two feet" Dira explained.

Divan head gurgles. "No, Pah. Mamah says you can mock me," advises Divan.

Dira raised the corner of his upper lip. "It's an elephant, not a man" he said.

Divan nodded. "Yes too, yeah!" he said while patting the jidat.

Bia walked in and sat down beside Dira. She wiped her husband's hair. Dira who was sitting with her legs crossed on the bed, tilted her head to lean on Bia's shoulder. "Is he healed?" ask Bia.

Dira nagging. "Lumayan. From here no longer have back pain," replied Dira.

Divan laughs. He got off the bed. "The sick piggyback is Eugene's grandfather. Gini here!" walk while bending and holding the waist.

"Hush! It's delicious!" dira Protest.

Afraid of being scolded by her papa, Divan quickly ran out of the room. "Divan where are you going?" ask Dira.

"You go to grandma, go! Papah dak cool!" the answer. He poked his tongue and ran out of the room.
