"They died not long ago." Yuda answered looking sad.
I can understand because since adolescence Yuda is very fond of both his parents.
"I'm sad, yeah."
"Thank you, who are you?" by the way?"
"Only alone."
"You have a child?"
I just shook my head, somehow this question always makes me sensitive.
"Thank God, at least they don't have to look at their parents' divorce."
I must be happy or sad to hear this remark, because honestly maybe the reason Mas Ilham cheated is because we have not had children.
"Why, Ran?"
"Ah, it's okay."
We parted ways after my business was done, before I had time to ask for his mobile number first. Then, I rushed to Mr. Alvin's house. Maybe Ananta's been waiting, talking about that little girl I miss him so much.
He always had unique ways to impress me. Yesterday he drew a flower and a beautiful fairy, and he gave my name to the fairy.
By taking an online taxi I headed to Mr. Alvin's house. The distance is quite far and must rotate first if you want to get there.
Upon arrival there I heard Ananta's crying voice, I was worried that something happened to the little girl. After paying the taxi fare, I rushed into the house.
Inside Ananta was crying bitterly, in front of him the grandmother tried to persuade. But the girl did not stop her crying.
"Why, Honey?" I approached the girl and grabbed her shoulder.
"So, he's been like that ever since. I don't know what she wants." Madam Rahmi replied in despair. I can understand if the woman is old enough and her strength has diminished.
"What do you want, honey?" Back, I asked gently.
"Want Ma-ma's word.Tata wants to see Ma-ma." He answered, with a stammer, my heart filled. How long has this girl not seen her mother.
"Let's talk to Papa, yeah, meet Mama." I said as I hugged her, and I could feel that the girl's head was nodding.
I let her be in my arms for a while, until the girl completely stopped crying. After that I invited him to play. Ananta is quite amused by his toys at this time, because I taught him to make origami in the shape of a crane.
"For a long time, Mom, Ananta didn't see his mother?" I asked Bu Rahmi who was sitting in the middle room while watching Ananta play.
The woman sighed heavily, and I could feel the burden of grief she was bearing.
"Since they divorced Ananta has never met his mother."
I shut my mouth in disbelief, how can there be a mother who has the heart with her own child. Although they decided to separate, at least he took a little time to meet the princess.
As usual Ananta will take a nap after playing, this time I do not mention school anymore with the child. Because after crying earlier the mood was not good, I was afraid that if he still mentioned about school he would cry more.
Towards the afternoon when it was going to build Ananta, the girl suddenly had a hot body. I was surprised because after measuring with a thermometer the temperature almost reached 40°. I'll call Mr. Alvin immediately and explain his condition.
In less than half an hour the man had arrived at the house and checked the condition of his son.
"When has he had a fever?" Ask worried.
"Just now, sir, because before going to bed he was still playing."
"All right, we're taking it to the doctor now."
Without waiting any longer I followed my master's steps behind him while carrying Ananta. The man opened the car door and drove straight to the nearest hospital.
"Mama."
During the journey the girl did not stop calling her mother.
"Sir, has Ananta not seen his mother for a long time?" I was carefully afraid of offending the man.
"Since our divorce, that was the last time Tat met his mother."
"So when I came, Tata was crying to see her Mama."
I glanced at him and I could see that this man was gripping the steering wheel of his car. I don't ask much more. The car entered the hospital and stopped at the ER door.
The nurse swiftly brought us a gurney, then pushed him into the ward. After undergoing observation, Ananta finally had to be hospitalized tonight. I also waited for the girl, because since waking up she did not let go of my hand for a moment.
"Auntie don't come home, yeah." The girl pleaded with her dear gaze, she was already in the infirmary now. I couldn't bear to leave him. I must obey the wishes of this little girl.
"I'm sorry, Ran, you're going to have to take care of Ananta." Mr. Alvin feels guilty.
The man sat on the sofa opposite Ananta's bed, many times he tried to contact someone he might curse whenever he failed to contact the person. I stared at him, between sadness and pity.
My own phone suddenly rang, and I was surprised that there was the name Mas Ilham there. Why else would he call me.
"Hallo."
"Where are you, Ran, at this hour not home yet?"
I lowered the phone from my ear and saw the clock on the screen, it was seven in the evening. But why did he ask me where I was.
"I have business, why?"
"Oh, so now you're with that man of your affair?"
"So your mouth, my mother, what am I doing and who am I, it's none of your business." I said softly as I pressed my teeth, what exactly this man wants.
"It's my business because I'm still your husband."
"Don't expect me to remain your wife, because I've already registered our divorce."
"What do you mean?"
"As you've heard, I've already registered our divorce, so just wait."
"Ran, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"Are you kidding while sleeping with that woman?" Tanyaku.
"But, Ran."
"That's it, Mom, there's nothing more to talk about."
After saying so I hung up my phone lazily serving a selfless man like Mas Ilham. When I turned around to go to Ananta's room, I was surprised by the presence of Mr. Alvin who was standing not far behind me.
"Pa-Pak Alvin."
The man looked at me, his hands folded in front of his chest.
"You want a divorce?" Asked without further ado, apparently this man heard my conversation.
"D-yes." I answered briefly, because I didn't really want to tell anyone.
"Why?"
"We're no longer a match, and.and she's having an affair."
Mr. Alvin was seen moving, he took a seat in one of the chairs.
"Why should a relationship be separated for the same reason, incompatibility." Said the man.
"Either, because there's nothing that can be fixed anymore, maybe." I also sat down, taking a place some distance away from him.
"The cliche, right? A bond is formed to bring two different things together. So, if there is a mismatch instead of just separating from the beginning. Before the bond gets wider."
I looked at this man, as if he was talking about himself. Or even talk about our same fate.
