Fistfuls

Riky

This morning Riky had no college schedule, making her able to relax. Playing with basketball alone, because someone who usually accompanies now lives far away in the capital, a little longing for the togetherness of it actually, because, especially after he went to college it felt lazy to just hang out like he was in High School.

His attenuation was distracted by his phone ringing, and he immediately received the call. It turns out from someone who usually accompanies playing basketball, Indra the Brother.

"Ready, I happen to be free today." Talk to someone across there.

He rushed to leave the mini field at his house, to fulfill the request of his brother.

His appearance was already neat, preparing to leave. His steps stopped when he saw his parents were also neat, like he was going to leave.

"Where are you going Ky?" ask Papi first.

"You want to know Bang Indra's motorbike" he replied.

"It just so happens that Papi and Mama also want to go there, want to look at your Oma, we have not been there for a long time." Papi and Riky just nodded, his intention not to visit the house of Oma, because he was lazy to see the old woman.

"Oma also said she said Gita would play there later," Mama Sinta's remark made Riky surprised.

"Lhoh Gita's coming home? Since when? How come you haven't been to Bandung?" riky asked, he also missed his half-brother, longing to make Gita upset like before.

Mama Sinta nodded, "A few days ago, she hasn't been here because her best friend got married" she replied.

After hearing Mama Sinta's explanation about Gita, Riky changed her plan to go directly to Indra's apartment. He's going to the house of the Oma first to meet with Gita. Let Oma be what she'll be like, she doesn't care.

Riding the motorbike at an above-average speed, as if afraid if the Gita first left the Oma house. Though he could have met Gita at Papa's house the girl, right? But somehow she wants to see Gita soon even though it's at Oma's house.

The journey is quite tiring actually, because he is not used to go far using a motorbike, usually using the car there is also a driver who drives him.

His tiredness paid off when he asked Gita where the art works at Oma's house, he was immediately excited and wanted to meet with his stepbrother immediately. According to Art earlier, Gita was in the back garden, she rushed to the place.

Just as he was about to call out the name Gita, his steps came to a halt upon hearing the Oma speak. "Oma will tell you a little about Indra's mother. The woman's name was Beautiful," Oma's remark confused Riky.

He accidentally steals the hear, hiding behind an ornamental tree belonging to the Oma. His hands clenched firmly upon hearing all of Oma's words. Somehow his chest suddenly tightened, as if something was piercing him.

Never know with all the stories that Oma told Gita, even he also knew if all this time Mami Indah only Mami continued, even after Mami Indah was gone. Why is everyone hiding that fact from him? Just get them all.

As her frustration with all her family peaked, she was taken aback by her birth mother's story. Her tears unexpectedly dripped, she also wiped away the damn tears violently.

This is the reason why everyone is hiding their true identity. Both of his hands clenched back firmly when he realized the suffering that Papi had experienced first. He also stood up to leave the place without the knowledge of two other women of that generation. But as he was in a hurry, he ended up accidentally bumping into the small flower pot before him.

Brakes

Unfortunately he fell just because of the small pot, he immediately ran away when he heard the screams of the two women who said his name.

He ran away from the Oma residence with a raging feeling, a tight chest as well as a deep disappointment. Even he passed both of his parents just like that who had just entered into Oma's house, without a word.

Doesn't have a definite purpose, because he doesn't really memorize this area. Finally decided to go to Indra's apartment. Before that, he first called the brother to go home for a while.

"Lo must have known that I wasn't Mami's real son? Why hide this problem? I'm disappointed in everyone." Said Riky after sitting on the living room sofa.

"Maybe I'd be a fool if I hadn't heard Oma's story with Kak Gita earlier" he added with an annoyed face.

"Maybe Oma was ashamed to acknowledge me as her grandson, because I was born from such a woman," Riky still expressed her feelings, giving no room for Indra to speak.

Indra was surprised to hear Riky's words just now, "I mean Lo?" tanyakanya.

"Lo don't pretend to be stupid Bang, Lo must know what kind of woman I've been born into the world, so Oma hates me!" riky's tone grew slightly higher, remembering Oma's words earlier.

Indra shook his head, "Lo is wrong Ky, I don't know the problem. All I know is, let Lo go with her new family, that's what Mommy said, never told me anything else about nyokap Lo," he said not to accept with Riky's accusations.

"But why are you hiding this reality just like me! Sick knows not!" the young man's breath was hunting, not accepting himself to be treated like that.

"That was all Papi's request, he said he would tell him everything, so we chose silence, following Papi's request. Moreover, Mother loves Lo like her own biological child, it is also one of the reasons Papi has not said this. You can ask directly to Papi," Indra knows the breath, he knows Riky must be disappointed with all the reality.

After saying that, Indra chose to return to the office, because there is still little work to be done. Leaving Riky with all sorts of thoughts milling around in her brain.

Elsewhere, Oma and the others are visibly riled up by Riky's departure. Unexpectedly, the secret that had been kept tight all this time was revealed because of Oma herself. Regretting, of course he regretted, surely Riky thought no-no, especially after hearing the story about his mother.

"Why Riky Mah?" asked Papa Luky, for he had seen his son as if he were angry.

"Don't tell Mamah to make trouble with that kid again?" accuse Luky.

"Not Pi, Riky had heard Oma's story earlier," said Gita, not accepting that Oma was accused of such a thing, because she could see that Oma had regretted her actions with Riky in the past.

Luky looked at Mama, but a second later his gaze weakened when he realized that his wife was holding his hand.

"We sit down first Mas," said Sinta.

Gita actually wanted to hug the Mama, but the situation that was not possible made her just look at the Mama. Sit on the living room couch, next to Oma Laila.

Oma began to briefly tell Gita what she had been told. Luky who heard that could only sigh harshly, he actually did not want his son to know the ugliness of the mother, but everything was already done.

"Riky must be disappointed" he said.

"Sorry Mamah, Mama should not have told me this" Oma said.

And Luky just nodded, his mind at the moment fixed on Riky, afraid that his son was acting recklessly.

"Riky in Bang Indra's apartment," said Gita was relieved, he also had thought that Riky would do something beyond reason, but his mind was wrong, after reading a message from Indra.

Papi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as well as Oma.
