Is this my Line of Destiny?
(IGT) CHAPTER 02
"You shouldn't have to work a bone slam like this Lexa, forgive me for being so sickly that you're so troublesome."
"No ma'am, it is my duty to take care of you when you are sick, and to take care of your every day!" alexa said firmly.
"Let's go by, don't look at it again, ma'am," Alexa continued.
Alexa prefers to accept whatever God destined to her, she believes behind all the pain felt with her mother, will certainly turn sweet in the future.
Though at heart, Alexa desperately wants to know who her real father is, and where he is. However, all that he kept deep in his heart to keep his mother's feelings.
"True what Alexa said, bury it deep in your past, don't remember it anymore."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the curtain. Then the figure of an old woman entered Bu Rianti's room.
"Have the medicine been taken?" ask mbok Mirah.
Yes, the old woman is Mbok Mirah, the person who has put Bu Rianti and Alexa in her house.
"Mbok already!" answer Alexa immediately.
"Now you better rest first lexa, all day you work hard slam bones and now you also take care of your mother," said Mbok Mirah suggested to Alexa.
"It's okay, it's my duty" Alexa replied, though she's the only family her mother has. So if it wasn't Alexa who else would have taken care of her mother.
"Remember, your age will soon be even seventeen years, leave a little time to take care of yourself." advises mbok Mirah.
Honestly, Mbok Mirah did not have the heart to see Alexa who worked as a newspaper seller.
Every day Alexa surrounds the village to peddle his newspapers. And the result is that he uses some of it for his daily needs and some of it he canisters to buy his mother's medicine once a week.
Indeed, the liver disease suffered by Bu Rianti is quite severe, because there is no cost to provide medical care, finally Alexa decided to redeem the cure only at the nearest pharmacy.
Maybe this drug can not cure, but at least with this drug can relieve the pain suffered by his mother.
"Lexa, go to sleep, let me accompany your mother," ask Mirah again, because the request was not previously reviewed by Alexa.
Hearing the request from Mbok Mirah, Alexa finally moved from her seat.
"Well, Lexa stay first, ma'am." Alexa looked fixedly at the face of her mother who only nodded her head in response to Alexa's speech.
Because it feels bad to mbok Mirah if you have to refuse, finally Alexa was forced to leave her mother's room even with a feeling of force.
There was a conversation between Bu Rianti and Mbok Mirah.
"Until when are you going to be like this? Remember Alexa needs you to accompany her to adulthood." Mbok Mirah opened the conversation.
"Forget over all the past, behind it all there must be a brighter future" continued Mirah.
Bu Rianti sighed slowly.
"Actually my logic is eager to forget all that, but, this heart feels hard to forget him even for a second, even though sometimes I still remember the betrayal he did to me!" replied Bu Rianti who made Mbok Mirah shake his head.
"It is only fitting that your disease does not heal, you save everything too much" said Mirah.
Bu Rianti held the hand of mbok Mirah and said.
"Well, will you promise me?" Bu Rianti holds the hand of Mbok Mirah.
"Never tell Alexa who her real father is" said Bu Rianti.
Hearing the request from Bu Rianti,
Making mbok Mirah frown.
"Why?" ask mbok Mirah later.
"I just don't want my daughter to suffer the same fate as me." Bu Rianti turned his face away.
"Quite that I was hurt, enough that I was disappointed by the actions of Hendra mas who had duaed myself with my own sister." tears began to flow like a tributary on Bu Rianti's cheeks.
"Alright, I promise I will never tell Alexa anything" said Mbok Mirah.
"Well, you really helped me a lot" said Bu Rianti with a meaningful smile.
"The two of you are part of my life, so how could I not help you" said Mbok Mirah.
It is true, since the presence of Bu Rianti and Alexa increasingly make the life of Mirah more colorful. He no longer feels lonely, especially Alexa is a good child and also loves him very much.
In her bedroom, Alexa does not sleep. But he was standing behind the door listening to what was being discussed by his mother and mother Mirah.
And, when hearing the request from his mother to mbok Mirah, increasingly makes Alexa feel curious about the figure of his father.
All sorts of questions swirled in his brain. However, Alexa itself is unable to answer it.
Alexa who had been very longing about the figure of a father, because since birth to the world he never once saw what the figure of his father.
Curiosity is getting stronger, however, it will still harbor all of it itself. Asking Bu Rianti about her father is impossible because Alexa does not want to offend her mother.
If Bu Rianti had kept all of that from him, there must have been something that had happened in the past. And Alexa doesn't want to bring up her mother's past that sounds so painful.
Alexa suddenly smiled. An idea came to his mind.
"I'd better just ask Mirah" whispered Alexa.
"It seems like Mirah knew something, I better ask her." then Alexa put herself on the bed.
The bed made of bamboo is only made of a mat that has been worn out.
Alexa tries to close her eyes in the dark.
Yes, the room was indeed dark because they only had one lantern and it had been placed in Bu Rianti's room.
Alexa's life is far from luxurious, her simple life is even very simple so it can be said to be all deficient. However, Alexa is always grateful for what she has right now.
Health and togetherness with mother and mother Mirah, is the greatest treasure for him. Even though every day he became a gossip among girls his age.
Even they do not hesitate to insult and ridicule Alexa when she was peddling her newspaper, however, for Alexa all that is not a problem.
"You can act like that because you've never felt in my position, if you only felt it once, would you be able to survive?" those are the words that became the defender of Alexa.
When the teenagers in the village came to ridicule him.
