JODOHKU MR. DUDA
El's Dad
"Mama doesn't want to hear you brawl anymore!" nisa's upset at El when they get home.
"That's it, Dek, control your emotions. Let me talk to him" Angga said patiently.
"Can't be mas. I need to talk to the kid too." Nisa then approached El who was sitting in the living room. El seemed to stretch his jaw. Every now and then his gaze was on the God who had come to the house and was now sitting quietly before him.
"You why El? If you're angry again, don't vent it on your mom! Is your mom wrong with you? Until you always figure out how to make mommy mad."
El did not answer, he threw his face to the side.
"Els! Why do you behave like that to old people!" hardik Nisa's. He was about to grab his son's shoulder, but Angga quickly prevented it.
"It looks like you're exhausted. Rest first. Leave me and El alone," pinta Angga.
Nisa opened her mouth to say something to her husband, El stood up. "No need, Pah, tell mama to come in. He couldn't possibly leave his friend just like that" the cynical El glanced sharply at the God.
"So your attitude, El! You don't know who he's__"
"Dad! Be quiet! Keep talking!" snapped Angga annoyed. Angga is worried that Nisa is leaking secrets that she has been wanting to cover up.
While the Gods still looked calm between the family quarrels. He was like a team of appraisers, tasked with observing the Nisa family.
"No, Mas. El should know the truth. So that he doesn't think anything of me."
"Dec, please."
"Well, what's the matter? What El should know. Just tell me now, so that everything is clear."
Angga looked straight at El. Millions of meanings were emanated from his eyes. Shortly thereafter, the eyeballs seemed to be glazed over.
'Oh my God, is this when El should know everything?' her groaning in heart.
Nisa who was looking at the pain of Angga from the radiance of the man's eyes, was stunned for a moment. There was regret and anger in his heart. Regretful to see her husband suffer, but angry to see El continue to accuse her.
"Bah, let's say it!" el Desperate. And Angga just fell helplessly silent. His tongue suddenly shrieked.
"El!" call Nisa, "forgive mom if you have to hurt your heart. From now on, please appreciate the gods. Because he's your father" I'm Nisa with a heavy voice.

El looked at the two men sitting in front of him, looking at him one by one, alternating with astonishment.
While Nisa chose to step aside to give time to Angga and the Gods. He is with Nina in the garden near their home.
"What's up, Pah? Um?" el asked confusedly.
"El," whispered the gentle Angga. Seeing the face of God and El with great concern. Unable to continue his sentence, hoping God would open his mouth. But the gods are still silent. Makes Angga sigh long.
Angga looked at my face El. Is this the time to say what he hates most? The man's heart was completely torn apart. I want to hug El tightly. God knows how much Angga loves that child.
"Until every time you're still papa's son, son. Who raised, cared for and cared for you. But .. o God, El's real father. As my mother said." Shaking Angga's lips as he said it. He then patted God on the shoulder, as if asking him to continue explaining to El. Angga could no longer afford to continue. He knew that if he opened his mouth again, no more words would slide. But a cry that would break and it should not happen.
El's body stiffened, what was feared happened as well. Ever since Nisa says God is her father, El tries to shake off the wild thoughts swirling in her brain. Is it true what he just heard? El turned to look at the man who was said to be his father.
"Omm?" It was like asking for an explanation from God. Even if possible, please say 'no' with everything your dad says.
But the God is still consistent with his attitude. He didn't answer, didn't shake or nod. Only his eyes were staring at me towards El. His fleshly blood that never got his touch of affection. If God had not obeyed emotions because of the marriage of Nisa and Angga, then there was no need to get rid of El in his life. And surely this dreadful day will never exist. Sorry, always late!
"Om, are you really my father?" cycar.
The god gulped his saliva, somewhat hesitating to answer that question. However, a small pat from Angga like gave him the strength to nod his head.
"I'm not disappointed if I become your father?"
El rubbed his nose. His forehead looked puckered. This is not what he wanted. Not having a new father is the goal. He just wants mama like before, there's always every El need. But why is this happening? A man whom El thinks can be used as bait to provoke Nisa's anger, must instead become her biological father. Replacing Papa Angga whom he greatly admired.
'He is who? A new man who claims to be my father. Nah! My papa is only one, Papa Angga!' el screams in the heart.
Angga watches over his hero. Seeing El speechless with a worried face, he approached her. Embrace it with courage.
"Nothing's gonna change, son. You are still the son of papa who you are always proud of. But you must be able to accept this fact, so that your anger toward your mother can be reduced. So that your relationship with your mother can come back good. Slow down, Son. Slowly just think it," said Angga sage.
El turned back to look at the god.
"How come, om suddenly became El's father? Where have you been all this time?"
For a moment the God was stunned. Don't know what to say to her son. Should she tell her complicated love story. God admits El is mature enough to accept the fact about his father. However, telling her story with Nisa, was it wise enough?
The god glanced at Angga. And the man shook his head slowly.
"The time is not right. You'll know later if you're older." Eventually the gods could say the phrase.
El snorting. Take his dusty bag. Then stand between the two grown men.
"Sorry, Pa, Om, I'll go to the room first. Thanks for the explanation. Now if you'll excuse me, take a shower first" said El flat. Then immediately walked away from Angga and the Gods, without feeling the need to wait for an answer from the two.
The boy left feeling ungodly. Why do adults always make it hard? Can't they listen to a little of his feelings? Letting himself feel happiness. Happiness with people who have been caring for and caring for him, not with people he has just met.
'El's father is just Papa Angga! And El's mom is just Nisa's mom! There is no one else.' Again, El's inner voice shrieked loudly, as his hand opened the door knob.
