GROANS OF DESTINY

S3 - Chapter 7

I've never asked for anything more in my life... I never asked for it like this either

The confidence that made me rise up like I am now

Although the storm is approaching... Obstacles before the eyes... But I still believe that everything will be beautiful in time.

The scenery is quite rare to be seen by people in general, many parents who laugh cheerfully on the wheelchair and garden chair.

Alisya followed Riani walking closer to the park in the orphanage that was at the back gate of the orphanage.

"Sister.I went inside first yes" said Alisya embraced by Riani.

Riani decided to walk around the orphanage, Riani's steps stopped right in front of the old woman who was sitting in a wheelchair under the garden tree.

"Hello Nek, can I sit here?" riani asked as she leaned her lips in a big smile.

The old woman was quite surprised to hear the voice of Riani who was suddenly in front of her "can son, just sit down" the woman replied.

"Grandmother doesn't play with the others?" ask Riani back.

The old woman shook her head "grandmother doesn't have enough calm to play and joke like that son" the old woman replied as she looked at my friends who could still smile together.

"Sir... Would you like to accompany me to chat?" ask Riani.

"Hahaha aren't we talking now, son?" ask the old woman.

Riani tilted her lips with a faint smile "if I may know, where are the grandmom's children?" ask Riani.

"They are married and busy with their respective affairs, so than a troublesome grandmother would be better off just here" explained the old woman.

"But is that really what Grandma wanted?" ask Riani.

"Surely that's what grandma wants son" replied the grandmother.

"Grandmother doesn't want to play and meet grandkids?" connect Riani.

"As Grandma said earlier, grandma doesn't have enough energy to play boy" replied the old woman again.

"At least chatting together with the grandchildren and grandchildren?" ask Riani back.

"Hahaha you're like a reporter, son" the old lady joked.

Riani again tilted her lips with a thin smile looking at the old woman who had laughed 2 times because of it.

"Sir..does the children and grandchildren often visit the grandmother?" ask Riani.

The old woman nodded "every long holiday for sure they will meet grandma son" the old woman replied back.

Riani nodded her head while also looking at the other elderly who were joking with laughter and playing with the sisters who were there.

"Why are you here, son? what's the need?" ask the old lady.

"Wh is my friend who wants to pick up his parents, because last Sunday he had to go abroad, there is no family that can be asked for help to take care of his mother, she said, then the mother is on a short break here" explained Riani.

The old woman came along to understand "it looks like you are close friends huh" said the old woman suddenly.

"Eh...?" wonder Riani.

"You are willing to accompany your friend to pick up his mother in a place inhabited only by the elderly" explained the old woman.

"Sister Riani!" said Alisya who had stood in front of them with Nadia, her mother Alisya.

"Owh is it?" tanya Riani was taken in by Alisya.

"This is your friend?" asked the old woman who was taken by Riani.

"This is your daughter Nad?" ask the old woman to Alisya's mother.

"Owh is buk.." replied Mama Alisya.

"It's really pretty and polite, like her mother" said the old woman.

Mama Alisya only responded to the old woman's words with her small laugh.

"Alright grandma, then we first yes" said Riani.

"Part of health is buk" continued Mama Alisya.

The old woman nodded her head in agreement with the words of Alisya and Nadia while smiling faintly.

"Where are we going now?" riani asked while putting on her seat belt.

Alisya was silent for a moment, she stared at her mother for a long time.

"Can we go to Riani's funeral?" ask mama Alisya.

"Mom!" exciting Alisya.

"Alright Auntie" answered Riani as she pressed the accelerator and took Serli's car to the funeral of papa Alisya who was none other than the governor of the city.

"Does you still hold your grudge, son?" ask mama Alisya.

Alisya just beat back in response to her mother's speech.

"You know Sya.. the day after the night your papa met Mak, already 2 times he apologized to Mak and you" said Mama Alisya suddenly.

Alisya looked at her Mak's shock, Alisya had already guessed that the man, his papa! met her Mak that night when Mak Alisya was acting strangely.

"His first apology did not respond, but that night in the rain was too heavy he was still standing firmly in front of the window of the home, until he was expelled by the security guard of the home, on the second night... and it was also the last night that Mak could meet your father, which is ironic.at that time exactly when he apologized again, Mak already had the intention to forgive him, but when the recollection of his treatment used to dump us in a way that is not good, making Mak's mouth a voice to say a word to him, namely the answer 'yes' that mak has forgiven him" mak Alisya.

"Thank God that bajing*n did not hear the answer directly inedanya" said Alisya.

Mak Alisya just smiled faintly at the words of his son "do you know Sya? the last regret in Mak-him life isn't it! but in your life is not able to issue a direct answer mama to your father at that time, the answer to his apology, should be at that time mama immediately answer yes, even if at least papa first to mama, mama, on you. But still he is the husband of the mother, more precisely the ex-husband of the mother, the mother forgave him not for her sake or for the sake of her mother, but it's for you Sya" explained Mama Alisya.

Alisya was stunned again by surprise staring at her mother "what does Mak mean to say that!? I don't need that at all! I don't need a papa in my life at all! my papa was long gone when I sat on my 2nd grade High School bench! that person called papa was never in my hard times! enough ma! no matter how hard my mother leads me to forgive her! I will never forgive him! I won't pay a visit to his funeral!" annoyed Alisya who screamed it was able to defeat the sound of heavy rain falling to the earth.

"Sister Riani.. Can you put me down here?" alisya said suddenly, her voice sounding soft, her eyes red clearly she was holding back her tears from coming out.

"But this is raining, what if you have a fever and can't get to court tomorrow?" ask Riani.

"From the beginning I did not intend to go to court tomorrow" replied Alisya cuek.

"Tap-"

"Sister! help u! i beg! this time alone.please let me be selfish! please leave me alone!" alisya shouted a clear voice was increasingly not heard because of the increasingly heavy rain.

From behind the rearview mirror Riani looked towards Nadia, Alisya's mother. Nadia nodded her head in a sign that she was addressing Alisya's request earlier.

Riani immediately pulled over the car, it did not take long Alisya was outside the car.

"You go! I'll be back tomorrow! take it easy I know this area!" yelling Alisya so that his voice can be heard in the car.

With a heavy heart Riani stepped back on the gas pedal of the car, the luxury car owned by Serli Riani was slowly disappearing from the range of Alisya's vision.

The swift rain that fell covered the tears of the 20-year-old woman. No more vehicles passed through the deserted road in the middle of the night. Alisya continued to tread slowly without direction and purpose, now her mind was empty, in the haunting of the fact of her father's death, and her mother who had forgiven her father.

If this is a story that must end with a happy ending, maybe Alisya will accept and be happy if her mother will forgive her father, because that is the most beautiful thing that Alisya wants to keep her family united.

But from the beginning, Alisya has compiled a happy ending story in his own way, with fantasies and hopes that will be realized with his own hands, but fate even toying with Alisya, Alisya, when the conflict in the story he has prepared will begin, fate says another, the character in the story must disappear for a time that will never return.
