For Me And Him

19

"What does Aunt mean? Auntie wants me to pity Aura and release Virgo for her?" I ketus.

"If you were in the Aunt position, you would do the same, Tamy. Every parent will surely pity his child, that affection makes a parent like me, willing to do anything to please his child."

"But my father never taught me that. My father never pityed me, but he loved me" I replied quickly.

The woman smiled and turned her eyes towards me.

"Because your father doesn't have a child like Aura. Your father can say that."

"Even though my father didn't have children like Aura, but Dad always said to the children who fought life harder than Aura. To not beg for the pity and pity of others from our bad circumstances, but to be able to be independent and love yourself."

I looked at the face of the woman next to me with a slight annoyance. I don't know, but Dad never treated his patients like he treated his son.

Fathers always tell children with cancer, that their disease is not something that can be used to beg pity and pity others.

For pity and compassion are not true affection. But pity is present because of the conscience of the human heart, it will absolutely pity people who fared worse than him.

Illness is not bad luck, but disease is a sin and a great struggle.

"Auntie's sorry, but now I understand why Aura likes to make her pain to attract the attention of others,"

"You mean?"

"Aura became like that, because Auntie made her like that."

"Tamy, you're smart. But you also have to see who your opponents are talking to."

"I'm sorry if I'm not polite, but Dad I always teach. Do not beg for mercy on others. For compassion is not compassion, but only absolute compassion born of conscience. Compassion and compassion are different. Someone will pity anyone they see suffering more than them."

I cleaned up my luggage and got up from the waiting chair of the stop.

"Sorry Aunt, I have to go home. I can't talk to Aunt anymore." Pamitku before leaving.

"One more thing, if Auntie wants to know. Try to see how Doctor Leonardo Swandez treats children with cancer in the hospital where Aura is treated. He considers the patients like his son, even he cries and is injured when one of his patients has to meet death."

I took a breath and tried to regulate my breathing to make it a little calmer.

"Aunty knows why? because my father loved them all, not pitying them. My father therefore always suffers when his patients suffer, not because of his conscience as a Doctor, but because of his heart as a Father."

I took my breath and went to leave the woman alone. This time I was very grateful, even though the one beside me was a father. But her heart was softer than a mother's.

"Dad, I love you so much."

***

I knocked on Dad's door and opened it wide. From coming home, I kept shutting myself in my room.

Even Dad didn't come out for dinner, thankfully Virgo is still here. So there was still a friend who accompanied me to dinner.

"Dad," call me soft.

"Yes, honey."

"I brought some brownies and some tea for Dad, too" I put the tray I was carrying and put it on the buffet.

I walked up to Father who was sitting on a chair and hugged Father's shoulder from behind.

"Dad why?" Me softly.

"Faye ... Died, Tamy," said the gentle father.

"Innalallahi, when is Father?" I was a little surprised.

I deserve to be so moody, it turns out that one of his patients died again. Faye is a 14-year-old girl. Fight against leukemia from 3 years ago. Finally he returned the head of the Living Clicker.

"Fathers fail and fail again to live their lives, Tamy. Can this father still be said to be a human?"

"Dad, whose age is the secret of God. You are just a human being, you are not God. So don't ever be sad for just losing, Dad."

Dad smiled and pulled my hand around his shoulder. Put me on his lap.

"Dad, I'm no longer a child." As soon as I got up and sat down on my desk.

"Dad knows, even now your little girl can talk." Dad smiled and stroked my cheek gently.

Kuraih figura was on Dad's desk and looked at the photo with a slight smile.

"Dad," called me by touching the face inside the figura was soft.

"What?" Answer me gently.

"It's been a dozen years, right? aren't you thinking about getting married again?"

He smiled and just shook his head.

"I'm an adult and understand Dad, Mama's been gone a long time. You need someone who can accompany you by your side, right?"

"There's you, right. I don't have to find another woman."

"What if in the near future, I'll catch up with Faye, Dad?"

"Tamy!" Press Daddy a little angry. "Dad doesn't like you to talk like that" said Dad annoyed.

I smile and walk to my window.

"It's been years, Dad. Mama was also sincere when I wanted to marry again."

"You're not afraid, if you have Tamy's cruel stepmother? what if he poached you alive?" Ask Daddy flat.

"Dad, I'm no longer a child you can be afraid of like that. Who can torture me? I know I'm a very cruel girl." Reply quickly.

"Ha ha ha, you are a baby-eating giant in the form of a beautiful girl huh? I forgot" said Dad with a laugh.

"Thank God if you're not sad anymore, what if I help you find a new mom?"

Dad sighed and looked blankly at me.

"Tamy, even though your Mama's long gone. But in Dad's heart he's always the one you're going to be. I love your Mama, and I don't want to betray this love."

"But Dad, in this life you can't be alone. What if Virgo marries me and takes me away from Dad?" Me softly.

"Tamy, did you forget? when you were 4 years old you said you would only marry a man like Dad. Why would you marry another man now?" Ask your own father.

"Oh Dad, I'm no longer a 4-year-old girl who only knows Dad," I said a little annoyed.

"So you mean you know a lot of men and don't love Dad anymore?"

"Wait a minute, let me think," I turned my eyeball and put a finger on the corner of my chin.

"Father is not as brave and handsome as before, so I don't want Dad anymore. Ha ha ha." As fast as lightning I ran out of Dad's room.

"Tamy, you little nosy girl!" Shouted Dad loudly.
