Their journey home this time was filled with silence, no one wanted to open the conversation, as if still busy with their own thoughts. Dhatu knew, despite saying that cold, Dirga must have felt sorry for Cana. However they had been together, let alone the problem of the baby he was talking about earlier, Dirga must have thought about the baby. Dirga is not someone who can be cruel even though sometimes the man often looks cold, but only limited to work and people who are not very familiar. Together with Dirga made Dhatu know a lot about the man.
"Maas ...." Dhatu melted the atmosphere between them, Dirga glanced at Dhatu and smiled at him.
"Why, Honey?" Dirga rubbed the top of Dhatu's head lovingly.
"Do you really not believe that Cana is pregnant with your child, Mas? Do you really have no problem if I take care of the child without his or her birth mother?"
Dirga smiled and gently rubbed the face of the woman beside him. "Everything I said was the truth. I never touched it. I'm even luckier if you want to take care of the child, than to leave it to Kana," Dirga took a deep breath and slowly snatched it, "I am not a hypocrite if the man is the strongest with lust. It's the law of nature, but when you fall in love with someone. You will take good care of it, not ruin it in the name of love." continued Dirga looking straight ahead.
Dirga who never knew what it means love, blinded by it. Used up and let himself fall into Cana's trap. Until finally he met Dhatu who taught him the meaning of love and also loved. More to make him sure, if from the beginning there was never love in his heart for the woman. Their togetherness is just a meeting, where he needs people to be protected, and Kana needs someone to protect him. Only two people are together because of their needs. Never more than that.
Dhatu smiled miris. How much love Dirga had for Cana. Until the man doesn't want to ruin the woman. Dhatu feels guilty for being a destroyer of relationships. He is the third person in this relationship. If only he knew everything. Perhaps, it is better that he rejects the matchmaking that many people are hurting, rather than having to accept this painful reality. It should not be him who is here and driving with Dirga. Without it, it is possible that Dirga and Kana have a happy little family.
Dirga clasped Dhatu's hand with his free hand. "It's all the past, Tu. I was too stupid to misinterpret the taste. That feeling is not love and I'm sure it is, so you don't feel guilty for the breakdown of our relationship" Dirga said, clasping her hands together, then clutching the wheel again.
"But if I were not present. Maybe, you'll actually fall in love with her, Mas. I have ruined everything. I just came and messed up your life, your words were right. I ruined your life, Mom. I'm sorry, Mas" said Dhatu, looking down.
"If you don't come into my life. I will continue to be fooled by Kana. Do you want to see me cheated and maybe I'll get busted?" Dirga raised her eyebrows and looked at Dhatu questioningly, a second later she turned her eyes to the street in front of them.
Dhatu shook his head quickly. It is impossible to let Dirga be deceived to such an extent. Seeing the sadness of the woman, Dhatu began to forget the crime that the woman had done to Dirga. He should not feel guilty, precisely because of his presence Dirga can see who the real Cana.
"I didn't think about it."
Dhatu smiled and nodded slowly, confirming all Dirga's words. Not everyone in this world is a good person. Each person is given a seed of goodness within himself, but it is the environment and the journey of life that will determine whether the person wants to fertilize the seed or dig and dispose of it. Seeing Kana made Dhatu sure, if the seed of goodness is still stored well in the bottom of the woman's heart.
"Then what's your plan, Mom?"
Dirga seemed to think for a moment. "What do you think I should do, Tu? I want to hear your opinion and find a solution together. I'm not going to do things you don't allow and things you don't like." The man stared at Dhatu briefly.
Either she is too lucky or God does love her so much, to send a husband as good as Dirga. Men who may be rare in the world or only exist in fiction. The man always attached great importance to her feelings, united her desires, and Dhatu felt like she was the happiest woman in the world. Marriage should be based on love, but there must be commitment in it. Do you dare to keep that commitment for a lifetime or just hope for a love that will never change? The man taught him many things.
"I think you should pay for her life as long as she's pregnant, Mas. However, there's a chance that she's carrying your child and we should, we're giving our best to the baby."
Dirga nodded in understanding. "Are you sure that's what you want?"
Dhatu nodded confidently. "Yes. Tomorrow he speaks well. Take responsibility for her life and give her all the best for the baby. Although later, she is not your flesh and blood, at least, we have helped to look after the baby and mother who currently need support. Even though one's life is so free, a woman will surely bear the moral burden, shame and worry of getting pregnant out of wedlock."
Dirga felt lucky to have Dhatu by her side. The woman does not judge and trusts her completely. He even thought of the person he should not have cared about at all for trying to hurt him in a sneaky way. Dhatu may not care and asks Dirga to stay away from the woman, inciting her to hate Kana, but Dhatu does not do so.
"You have a lot, Tu." Dirga smiled, "for everyone," he continued, pulling Dhatu's hand, peeling the woman's back at a glance and the two shared a smile.
"I'm not an angel, Mom. I am certainly hurt by this fact. Angry at Kana and at you." Dhatu smiled softly, "but I tried to position myself as you. What if I became Kana who should be pregnant even though not married, as you would definitely trust me if I did the same. In the end, love is not just a word, but a commitment to dare to trust you and walk with you when hard or happy."
The two shared a smile and their hearts rippled warmly. Love often messes with a person's life or sanity, but if you really love him, then you will make the chaos as a gift.
