There was a breath that blew revealing relief, there was a smile that expanded in this twilight. Fingers hooked each other, looking forward with their eyes unblinkingly, admiring every piece of the world that was rarely seen.
Bima was teary-eyed, I don't know what made her currently cry, Maudy gently wiped it off. Bima smiled, yes she smiled again just by touching with the tip of the fingers.
Here they are today, in a river where the water is very clear, the current is swift and decorated with large rocks. Maudy deliberately invited Bima here, because he thought it could make Bima's mind become more relaxed.
"Why?" Only one word was said. It may represent the whole question.
"Mama's miss." He looked back to the front before he could glance at the woman of his heart.
Heavy breathing sounds again. Maybe indeed the child seems to be aware, can not be far from parents, especially his mother.
"Go home and don't be selfish. Follow your papa's orders." Bima immediately shook his head.
What does it mean you'll go away after this.
"Bima, we're young. After hearing everything you said earlier. I realized, our relationship is just monkey love, nothing more."
"Don't you promise to fight together?" Bima's voice turned cold.
"Are you really going to stay away from me and cut off our relationship?" I asked back to make sure everything.
"Did you invite me here just to discuss this matter? I thought you were going to keep fighting, I was wrong. You never once thought of me, I'd fall without you."
"That's not what I meant. But later if I had gone abroad, I knew you'd be worse off."
"I'll wait!" He answered before Maudy said again. A stern voice that Maudy had never heard before.
"We'll be home from the afternoon. I'm afraid that Mang Sugi and his wife are worried because you're not coming home." Turn on the engine. Bima was no longer able to speak, he immediately went up and immediately ready to accept reality.
Arrive at the house of Mang Sugi. Maudy stopped just on the edge of the market, unwilling to deliver to the yard. Not for now, because the doubt re-emerged after Rio mas said something that made him aware at this time.
"Don't eat Bim late, I'm home."
Directly hit the gas before Bima replied. And Maudy doesn't want to talk about anything anymore.
At Maudy's house, she took a shower and went into her room. He shut himself up, and did not join his family who were talking in the TV room.
Another thing with Bima, he was immediately greeted with warmth at the mang Sugi house. And of course their worries also showed, because Bima came home in the afternoon.
"Sorry bi. There was a group study."
Apologize before asking where, why until the afternoon.
"You're waiting for Sugi's mang in the Bim. Come on in."
Take Bima in who is waiting for her husband. I don't know what to talk about.
"Bim, sit down." His face was seirus, as well as his tone.
"Mamang don't mind if you want to be here, but your mama is like Bim." Looking towards his wife. Because this word can be interpreted by expelling.
"Yes mang. I see, let me stay for the night, after that I'll go home. And look at my mom."
"I'm sorry, mamang can't help you much."
Bima was just silent, the thought of fear came back in his mind. Which forms its own options, the fear of being away from Maudy, and the rules made by papa, as well as his mother who was sick because of his actions.
"You have cleansed yourself first, so that your mind may be clear."
Bima immediately stood up and headed for the bathroom. Try what Mang Sugi says. So that his mind is not confused.
Do I obey Papa's wishes? I think it's heavy, and there's no way I can be without Maudy.

"Hows it? Does he want to go home?" A stern voice sounded while restraining his emotions.
Here a middle-aged woman lay weak, waiting for her son who did not come home, and did not want to go home. A luxurious house that was like hell, that was what he concluded.
Oxygen will continue to be plugged in, due to its extremely weak condition. Not even touching food. The room is magic like this hospital, and waiting with many guards. Great doctor also came. But there has been no change, he is still weak. All he wanted was his son, his son. Although her own husband is faithful to accompany but there is no good influence for her.
"She is not there, I was waiting at the school gate. But all that was asked, did not see him, and also more did not know him." Say it honestly.
The sound of anger is back heard. Like tired of waiting for a man who can be a medicine for his wife.
"Does it have to be your own father who intervenes?"
"Don't pa!" He answered as fast as lightning.
Why am I even banned!
"Why?"
I'm sure papa will ask why.
"Bima doesn't want people to know, if he's actually a papa's son."
I can't lie this time.
Indeed, from the beginning of entering school Bima has hidden her identity, it does not mean faking her name, but just do not want others to know, who she is, the child of whom. Because it does not want the people around him more reluctant to him.
"Why?" He asked again, hardening his jaw.
What do I have to answer now?
"Why?" Jolting with a loud voice, so that his housekeeper also jumped in shock.
Rio's back to stiffening. Heard a loud snatch from his own papa. His tongue was stiff in rhythm with his current body.
"Sorry sir. Your wife is back to critical." The news of the doctor had to make her leave Rio without getting any answers.
With heavy strides he again saw his wife lying weak. Fulfill the tools that help him to survive in the moment. In fact, he was willing to leave his job to ensure the health of his wife, but his sacrifice did not bring results.
"Tell Rio to contact Bima, now!" Giving orders to his Bodyguard. Without even turning away from his wife, he clasped his hands.
"The number can't be reached by the master." Back with bad news for him. I don't know how many times he breathed heavily today.
Even to contact his son he did not want to. Hardness does not even produce results, even complicate the situation.
With a heavy heart, an Adi Nugroho is currently trying to be patient. Waiting for his son who had been kicked out by him to go home. Maybe that's all he can do now, wait.
Why not try to find? Is it not possible to find her child within a few hours? Or a few minutes. No, he never used his power for it. Because according to him, his world is a business, not to scare people.
"Pa, how's mama?" Rio came with a million worries. His father remained silent and did not answer. Take a moment, and look back at his wife's pale face.
"Pa, you better pick up Bima yourself. Maybe he wanted to go home, because it was papa who kicked him out." Out of nowhere, so Rio was able to say this, and that meant that he also cornered his papa, and of course blaming all this was for it, expelling his own son.
"There's no other word you can say?"
Surely, Rio already thought that his papa still did not accept being blamed, and said he was the one who caused all this to happen.
Rio silently did not reply and chose to leave the room that was conjured up like a hospital room, where his mother was lying weak now.
Until the evening came, and the morning was welcomed. An Adi Nugroho still remains faithfully waiting and sleeping next to his wife who has yet to have any sign of opening her eyes.
His eye bags are starting to look, maybe two nights of sleep is not good. But it's all his own will. No one forced him to stay. The doctor had also reminded him to return to rest, but he seemed to ignore him.
Milky, Bima. Why not just go home! Besides torturing my mother, you also tortured me.
"Well pa."
"Tell one of the guards to prepare the car, papa will come to Bima's school today!" Maybe all night he didn't sleep just to think about how to bring his son home.
"Yes pa. I'll go first."
That's right papa, right? Papa wants to come to Bima school? What will happen later? Not if the teachers also do not know that people know Bima Adi Nugroho is papa.
That's how Rio thought when he heard his papa's words in the morning. But let it be, maybe it's time for people to know who Bima is. And from which family. Even every report distribution is only mama who is present, of course people at school including teachers do not know, because Lisa's face has never been exposed to the media. Only certain people know. And Lisa's mother never looked elegant when she came to her son's school for certain purposes, but today. His own papa that will come, somehow people will react if they find out Bima is the son of one of the richest businessmen in this country.
At 10 am. Adi Nugroho departs with his personal driver. And one car in the back as his bodyguard. Stop in front of the school gate of his son.
"Sorry sir, permission to enter. Mr. Adi Nugroho wants to pick up his son." Excuse me first with the school guard security. Because it is one of the strict rules here, can not just enter the school area.
"Father of Adi Nugroho? You mean a famous businessman?"
One of the guards nodded.
"But, it's not that his son doesn't go to school here." He thinks that reason is absurd, if so why can no one know, he thought.
"My son is in school here. I have a need and have to pick her up, now!" Emphasis at the end of the sentence. It turned out that Adi Nugroho decided to go down and ask permission, because seeing his bodyguard seemed to have trouble getting permission.
"Sorry sir, please sir." He pulled and opened the gate wide.
His face looked pale from the doubt, and like a person who felt very guilty.
That's what Adi Nugroho doesn't want, everyone loves him but with body language that can be read, if you're afraid of him. Though he's not a criminal, open the mafia too. Only a successful businessman whose name is widely known to people in this country.
"Excuse me sir, ma'am. I want to pick up my son because there's a need." Speak softly by standing at the door of the teachers' room. Suddenly everyone stared unblinkingly, looking at this authoritative man, even though he was half a century old but his handsome face was not covered.
Mr Adi Nugroho? His son goes to school here? Who???
All the teachers screamed in their hearts.
"Please come in sir, sit down sir." One of the teachers who was still conscious immediately allowed to sit down.
"Who's the father's name?" Waiting for his name, there is a heart that almost out of place. Because at this moment they will know that they are here teaching the son of Mr. Adi Nugroho. Though there are still many schools that are more elite, but send school on the side, their inner.
"Bima Adi Nugroho's. He's in 3rd grade."
"That name is only one here sir. Wait I'll call you soon." Jump outside the room quickly to immediately call the only Bima in this school.
Another teacher heard.
So Bima Pak Adi Nugroho's son?
Still can't believe it, and wait until Bima who is called will come. Right or not the Milky Way they were thinking about right now.
In the classroom. Bima is still focused and does not talk much at this time, he also does not disturb Maudy who was silent.
Tok.dok.. The sound of the door on the knock.
"Excuse me Miss Widya. Want to call the student who picked up his parents."
"Please ma'am." Smiling friendly.
All the students seemed calm and unperturbed. It's just their thoughts for sure, who is it? Who's being picked up?
"Bima, here son. Your parents are waiting in the teacher's office." Summon Bima softly and wave her hand.
Bima who was confused looked at Maudy, and so did Maudy. They looked at each other and Bima shook her head.
Of course Kiki was shocked, because all he knew was that he and Maudy.
Old folks? Mean papa? Where is it possible, but if it's mom? Is mom not sick?
"But ma'am, what's wrong?" Talk and glance at the rest of the class, because right now the whole student is staring at him. Of course Bima felt ashamed even though he only asked so.
They were not surprised, because they did not know who Bima's parents were. Except for the woman next to him at the moment.
"Go Bim." That's all Maudy can say right now.
"Bima, about that only people know you know son, let's hurry and bring your bag. Your parents are waiting." Said Bu Widya gently, she is teaching in class at this time so do not know who Bima is the child. While the teacher who picked her up just smiled with relief because Widya's mom had submitted the answer to Bima's question for her.
"I'm home." Half whispered and immediately left the classroom.
"I'm sorry ma'am."
Ms. Widya nodded, and still kept smiling.
"We continue the study, let's focus on the exam soon." Back to the main topic, which is learning.
***
"Papa?" His words are soft but can still be heard by others, especially for people he calls papa.
"This is the letter sir to bring Bima out." Submit a small letter as a form of agreement that Bima is allowed to go home, and must be handed over to the school guard securitty.
"Thank you, I'm sorry."
Bima just looked down, because he did not want to protest in front of others. Could add to his life later.
In the car there was no conversation at all, with any form of regret or apology, nothing. Their mouths are both locked tightly. It's like putting a barrier between a father and a son.
I didn't think I'd come back this way.
epilogues.
As the school bell rang, Kiki first walked out the gate to wait for the driver's invitation. A handsome man she knew rebuked her.
"You know what, Bima's out?"
Ask directly to the point. Kiki could not answer.
"It's Maudy mas, just ask him, it's the driver already picked up, first yes brother?" Go and leave Rio.
"Maudy." Calling Maudy who has led her motorcycle out of the school gate.
Mas Rio's?
Looking towards the back, and Bima has not yet seen out.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"You know where Bima is, right?"
Maudy silently did not answer and just lowered her head.
"Maudy, I know you have a relationship, and of course a feeling. But don't be selfish. Your journey is long."
The words were already able to make Maudy self-conscious. That at this moment he was not entirely special in someone's eyes.
