Fistfuls

With Oma

"It's good your Papa's decision, Oma agrees completely with your Papa's decision." Oma Laila smiled meaningfully after hearing the story from Gita, about the Papa's decision.

"That's Oma, it turns out I'm the only one who disagrees with Papa's decision" said Gita.

"Lhuh why?" Oma was surprised to hear the girl say, "Don't tell me that Oma's future granddaughter-in-law is already married" teased Oma.

Gita smiled clumsyly, why does everyone think like that, even though she just does not want LDR anymore, "It's not Oma, I'm just not ready for LDR again with Bang Indra," Gita honestly, he said, make Oma smile.

It turned out so great this girl's love for her granddaughter. A granddaughter who has no blood ties to her, but she loves her grandson so much, even more than her own children.

The two different women of this generation are now in the garden behind Oma's house. Gita accidentally came to Oma Laila's house, wanting to get to know the woman who loved her lover so much. It turned out that Oma's welcome was so warm, making her instantly comfortable chatting together.

"Do you know anything about Indra?" tanya Oma looked at the girl sitting by her side.

Gita shook her head, "Bang Indra just said he was not Papi Luky's real son, but never told anything," he replied honestly, actually he was very curious about the origin of Indra. Why could it be in that family, what is Indra's adopted son? Or stepchildren? I don't know. Most importantly Indra is recognized and loved by her extended family.

Oma nodded, "Even though she is not Oma's biological granddaughter, Oma loves her very much, because of the kindness of her Mother Indra who is also Oma's son-in-law. He thinks of Oma as his own parents, but it's a shame that he left us all." Oma's change in face is obvious, if the woman misses her dead daughter-in-law, Indra's mother.

Oma touched one of Gita's hands, "It is not intended that Oma distinguish your Mama with Indra's Mother, Oma also love your Mama, she also did not lose well with Indra's Mother." Oma realized that if her daughter-in-law is currently the Mama girl who is now sitting next to her, she does not want Gita to be mistaken.

Gita smiled and nodded, "Yes Oma, I understand" he said.

"Oma will tell you a little about Indra's mother. The woman was named Beautiful," Oma began the story of Indra's past with the Mother.

The Flashback

A beautiful woman of about twenty-five years old, a widow with one child. Often come to the house of Oma with his boss Mr. Hartanto who became a client Luky. You could say Luky has been the trust of the Hartanto family since he was young.

From here Oma knows more about a beautiful, they often engage in casual chat. Oma even considered Beautiful like her own child, in contrast to her daughter-in-law who never got along with Oma.

"How's Indra doing? Why don't you just bring her here?" oma asked Indah when they met at a cafe this afternoon.

"Alhamdulillah healthy ma'am, I happen to be from the office directly here, so do not stop by the house first," replied Indah.

"Other times I'll play at your house, miss Indra," Oma Laila has met Indra several times, the toddler is about three years old is so adorable, he always misses the toddler.

"In a lonely home, everything is concerned with work. Maybe if Indra wants you to invite, the house will be crowded," the face now looks sad, considering she is always left behind by her son and husband working.

"There will soon be many ma'am, if Bu Ambar has given birth. Mother will definitely feel at home, "Beautiful trying to comfort the woman sitting in front of him, considering the daughter-in-law is pregnant.

Instead of being happy Oma Laila actually looks moody, "I'm not sure if the woman is pregnant with Luky's child," he said making Indah surprised, but did not dare to ask things that are not his business.

"Luky was so stupid for loving his wife too much. Though Mother several times caught the woman with other men, but Luky never believed. He trusted the bitch more. He did not know, if his wife was often wandering, even though she was pregnant again," Oma Laila told about her daughter-in-law without Indah asking.

Beautiful can only encourage Oma Laila, because she does not know what to comment. Because his life is not as smooth as others imagine. Tricked by the man who was once her husband, raising a child with his own hard work without anyone's help.

Never thought, if in her womb grew a baby fruit in love with the ex-husband who had turned on her. She promised to love the child wholeheartedly, without telling her ex-husband if she was pregnant.

Oma knows all the stories of the Beautiful, for forcing the woman to tell the story, and she finally sympathizes with the story of the Beautiful life that struggles to raise her own child without anyone else, because the beautiful old man no longer exists. He was just a orphanage child, who was left behind by both of his parents.

Since then Oma has been closer to Indah, let alone her tenderness, making her feel like she has a daughter. If only his two sons did not have a wife, he would certainly be betrothed to one of them, but unfortunately both are married, even his second child already has a daughter, he said, even though they live far outside the city.

Time passed so quickly, Oma Laila became more familiar with Indra, even the toddler often played at the house of Oma with her caregiver when the Mother worked, making Oma a little entertained by the presence of the toddler.

One day, Ambar is rumored to be in the hospital due to give birth. This morning when she left the house, she looked fine. Although Oma disliked Ambar, she still came to the hospital where Ambar was going to give birth.

"Do you still not believe in Mama, if your wife is not who you think she is? See who took your wife to the hospital?" Oma pointed at a bule-faced man, whom she often saw with Ambar.

"Either Mah, I haven't thought of that, now what matters is Ambar and the baby." Luky was actually angry to see another man who drove Ambar to the hospital, when this morning he had advised Ambar to stay at home, but look at the woman is still wandering.

Luky's trust was further broken for his wife, when he accompanied Ambar to fight for their child, he accidentally saw a kiss on the chest of the wife, he said, although it was faint but he was sure it wasn't due to an insect bite or anything else, but it was a kiss mark. Though he had not had a few days to his wife, then who's kiss? Uh! It felt like he wanted to be angry right then and there, but he did not because Ambar was struggling to give birth to his son.

"Mas Luky, you take care of the boy, I don't want to take care of him. Don't you know what my relationship is with that man? I'm sure you've already noticed. I'm sorry, I chose him, because my life would be guaranteed if I was with him. I can also be free from women like your mother" Ambar said after several hours of giving birth, even after leaving the hospital with the man with the face of the bule.

It felt like Luky was beating the man, but he realized it would endanger him. The most important thing right now was his newly born son.

After the birth of Luky's first son, Oma did not want to touch him at all, she was still heartbroken with the child's mother. But Beautiful, the woman always took the time to come to the house of Oma Laila, taking care of the grandchildren she did not admit. It made Oma love that woman even more.

Until a year passed, Luky decided to marry Indah, because the sincerity of the woman takes care of her child. Not only that, he also loved the woman with all the advantages and disadvantages of Beautiful. Of course Oma was happy, because Indah was really her son.

Until finally Oma intervened by changing the name of her grandson's biological mother with the name Indah, because according to him Indah is more appropriate to be his biological mother than Ambar who went somewhere, from the first time his son was born.

Flashback Off

"You may know that Oma has been treating Riky unfairly, even though Oma knows that Riky is Luky's biological child, because we had DNA tests. But Oma's heartache with Mama grew more and more when she saw the child, even though Oma realized Riky did not bear the sins of Mama. Oma regretted the truth but want how else, everything has happened. Even Riky didn't want to meet Oma, even though she visited here, she would lock herself in a room and go home without saying goodbye to Oma, but Oma understood that," oma continued about her grandson, Riky.

"Gita is sure that one day Riky will forgive Oma." Gita rubbed the back of the woman's hand.

Oma smiled, "Do you still want to marry Indra after knowing who she is?" tanya Oma shifted the topic of conversation.

Gita smiled then nodded, "There is no reason to leave Bang Indra, Oma. I don't care who Bang Indra is, because I don't think love looks at status...." Gita did not continue because she was shocked when she heard something fall.

Brakes

"Ricky!" Call on Oma and Gita simultaneously.
