*Before Conscious*
As the day grew darker, Ilyas' friends began to leave him and return to their homes. Likewise with the police sir who also left the ER and stayed Nuge himself guard the place. A few hours later, Nuge finally arrived.
"Finally you guys came too, you fucking old man" Nuge said, welcoming Ilyas' parents.
"Nuge, are you still here ?" ask ilyas' mother.
"Yeah... Ilyas is still my friend. I don't think you're still more concerned with work than your own child. Though Ilyas has not burdened you because he received a scholarship to go to college and he is looking for his own money. Do you not love Ilyas like any other child !!!?" nuge snaps at the Ilyas family.
"You were disrespectful from earlier. This is why I abandoned Ilyas. He was naughty and delinquent, he had to be of high authority in order to get back to our family" his father said evasively.
"Then you don't know why your kids go to college ?. Why can a delinquent as smart as him get a Scholarship ?. Why did he want to graduate as a graduate ?. You guys must not know that !!!!" nuge Bentak.
Ilyas' mother held Father Ilyas's sleeves violently in fear. Even though he was aware, what Nuge said was the truth.
"That's because, your son has a very noble dream. He aspires to become a Teacher who does not abandon his Disciples just like that. The Absolute Teacher's. He wants to get that title in his Disciple later. He was willing to wash his hands and do the Atonement of Sin. For her to live as a normal person" Nuge said with teary eyes telling her best friend's noblest dream.
"In that case, why would he get battered like that ?. I heard it from the nurse he was like a man who had been attacked by Tawuran troops. Isn't that how he fouled his hand again ?" ilyas' father said snarl.
"Either what's in Uncle's head turns out uncle thinks it's not the state of your son ?. He was dirtying his hands not for himself. From the time he was like that, he would not abandon his friends even if he died. He was indeed a person as crazy as the attention of his friend as that. He fought death many times to protect those he loved. Tomorrow will be told two students are in hostage and the person who helped him is only 1 person. He is the son of prof. Dr. Andi Purnama S's. E, one of the richest people in Makassar Land, Ilyas" said Nuge.
Hearing this, his parents were shocked. Nuge who could not stand them anymore left.
"I can't stand a workaholic family like you. If anything happens to Ilyas because of you, I will not forgive you. Because this time, I'll be his family. I'll be by his side
like a brother to him remember that" Threatened Nuge to the two of them.
then Nuge leaves the Ilyas family standing stiffly in front of the ER waiting for his Son. The next day was true, the news was broadcast by the entire TV and in front of Mr. Andi's house was filled with Journalists.
“try you guys close the Ilyas case and then remove the trace of the case.and get rid of the reporter in front of my residence” Ilyas' father ordered to his personal assistant.
“Good Tuan” replied to his Secretary and carried out the orders of Father Ilyas.
Ilyas' father stood for so long in his office feeling panicked, going back and forth in the room. Accidentally, he nudged the closet and made a photo of Ilyas who was a child in a cradle by his father fell. Back then, Ilyas' father recalled his past and it made him realize he made a mistake for abandoning his Son.
*After Sadar*
I didn't know how long I was unconscious, until when I woke up I saw my little sister sitting asleep next to me holding my hand. I can't wake him up. I just stroked her head because it had been almost 2 years I had never met her again. When I stroked his head, he finally woke up.
"I'm sorry, I woke you up" I told her limply.
My sister just looked at me surprised and petrified. I don't know what to say except...
"Can I smoke ?" i told him.
What's wrong with me, huh ?.
My sister shed her tears and hugged me. Yes, his embrace was tight and made me sick, but, seeing my brother who was usually ferocious, angry, and ignorant to me now cry to see my condition, I was a little happy and returned his embrace.
"Sister.... Sister... hiks.." she said while crying.
“Don't cry, big brother trying to be a Gentle Cowo nih” reply me stroking his back.
“aku... hiks... I'm lonely you look at rumaahh..... hikss...” said My crying sister is unstoppable again.
“sorry, making you worry like this” reply me to him while hugging him tightly.
He kept calling me and it made me so nostalgic for him like in the past, when we were still living in that house.
Not long after, the nurses came to check my body condition and Brother contacted someone by phone. After that, I could only give up on the nurse who took care of me. Not long after that, I was allowed to rest for a while. Until I woke up again, I saw my parents coming. I don't know what I should express. I told him that I would do the Redemption and wash my hands from the Fights and leave the House, and that evil destroyed 1 more Gangster. I really can't look him in the face.
"forgive me father, it seems I reneged on my promise.... Anyway, I told you, didn't I ?. I can't be the son you dreamt of. Because I'm not your real son, and as you say. I may be the son of a former delinquent" quite pathetic but that's what came out and said in my mouth.
At that time, Mom held my hand, it was quite surprising to me and wanted to see it. He cried, and even with my father bowing his head was not strong to see me.
"It must be very heavy, right, baby ?. Forgive Mom and Dad for not being parents you deserve. Though God has given us the responsibility to take care of you, we have abandoned you" said my mother in tears.
I could say nothing but surprise and wonder.
What is this ?.
There's no way they're this good.
"Saa it's dad really carried away emotions. And that offended you until you left the house. And because of my arrogance, I never looked up to you. You should have stayed home. Not for us, but for your sister. She needs you. Sorry, we became unworthy parents to you" my father bowed his head.
I shed tears with mixed feelings and growled at the two of them. I took my face off from them because I couldn't see it.
"why do you realize now ?. Whereas in the past I always screamed calling you guys, and you didn't care about me. Why dad ?. Mommy ?" ask them.
"Parent's job is to teach his child not to take the wrong path. Actually I don't blame them. However, the task of a child also reminds parents when they make an Ilyas mistake" said Nuge who suddenly came.
"Nuge, when did you come ?" ask her.
My mother still held my hand tightly like a mother who would not let go of her child.
"you know, even though we abandoned you, we still consider you our Son. Because from the beginning of adopting you, you were still so tiny and small. We even had to go around looking for a baby sitter who could give breast milk to you. Because you are our First Son. But besides, I always take care of you like any other kid. When you're sick, we're there for you. When you're happy we're happy for you too. When you learn to walk, we teach you. And when you call Papa and Mama, it's on us. Really, you are our son" my mother told me.
"I beg you to return home, I don't care if you want to be Heir or not. But, at least return home as our Son My son" continued the father, holding my hand.
And that day I couldn't suppress my feelings anymore. After a long time I finally came back. I've always dreamed of this where I get back together with my family back, that day my happiness finally returns. Even if it's only part, but it's worth being grateful for.
"Dad..... Mothers... I'm sorry hiksss.." said I who finally hugged my parents while crying.
