Silence suddenly infiltrated the living room of Fatma's modest home. The residents of the house also choose to speak a thousand languages. No one dared to try to persuade Maya again this time. The human feeling in the heart of the woman seemed to disappear, along with the wounds that were re-present cut her heart.
But see, a middle-aged mother still groans without a care, if Maya rejects him outright for what she wants.
Nyah is ready, if Maya rejects him firmly and tells him to go home for the next time.
"I'll give you permission. Only this time!" firmly Maya is full of a sense of tightness.
Maya turned back around, reaching the door of the room that opened slightly.
"Gavin, let's go. Gavin's father and parents are outside, wanting to meet with Gavin" Maya says.
Maya's lips looked as white as cotton, not showing any firmness at all. There, charming lips full of charm I tremble, holding all the turmoil of anger and hatred left for Aditya.
Maya does not want to give Ditya and Nyah permission, but she is tired and chooses to give up this time alone. Like something that has run out of power, Maya feels she is okay if she has to give permission to meet with Gavin.
"But why did you give permission? Don't you like Dad?" ask Gavin.
"Father's father is sick and wants to see Gavin. It's okay, let's get out. Just meet them this time. Tomorrow, Gavin is free to do what he wants. Come on," take Maya, holding her son's hand, to take Gavin out.
No objection, no rejection. Gavin doesn't want to disappoint anyone anymore. The child is determined to obey whatever the mother wants.
The mother and daughter came out into the living room. Maya's steps though heavy, but she still strengthens her body and heart. Maya's gaze was fixed on the mother, hoping to be supported and given strength.
"Maya, are you okay? You look pale," Fatma stood up, welcoming her daughter, "if you're not strong, you better not be forced. Don't try to please others who have hurt you in the past."
The words Fatma, right hit the heart of Nyah, also Aditya. Although Gavin came out and looked at everyone alternately in the living room, but the boy was only silent a thousand languages.
"What's wrong, ma'am," Maya replied with quivering lips.
Nyah just pecked at his place, when he found Ditya small, standing looking at him sharply. The boy was small, but had a charm that was even stronger than Aditya.
Sin and guilt, back to feel, so did Aditya. The man continued to mutter the apology, which was even heard by joining Maya.
"Gavin, come here, sit down with Mom," pointed Maya at the worn-out sofa. Maya once thought, to change the living room sofa so that Gavin felt comfortable and at home.
Silence, no one makes a sound. Nyah and Ditya who had wanted to embrace Gavin, could only sculpt and pale. Same with Adi.
"Gavin's? Why dumbfounded?" maya asked later, when Gavin had just been quiet.
The boy nodded in response.
"Give greetings to Mr. Ditya and his mother, Nyah. Sitting at the end there, he was the father of Lord Aditya, the master of Adi Darmadji," Maya ordered in a soft voice.
Gavin was silent, looking at his mother as if giving a rejection. Goody. Maya has even given Ditya permission to meet Gavin, but Gavin himself who refuses subtly, will this meeting.
Instantly, the memory of Nyah returned to the tragedy of her eviction from this village. All of these are due to Nyah and Ditya. Would Maya's heart be willing if she hugged Gavin?
"It seems Gavin is not available," Maya replies as an excuse. Maya's heart wasn't that strong. Luckily, Gavin remained silent without responding.
"It's Dad, son. Forgive me," said Ditya while biting his lower lip withstanding a cry.
"No. You don't love me and my mother. For what reason should I forgive you? You left me and Mom, is it fair that I should accept you as my father?" gavin replied in a flat tone.
This is Gavin's longest sentence, for the past few days. Maya and everyone in the living room gasped to hear it. There is disbelief, but this is the reality. The facts are not something that can be denied anymore.
Gavin was a brave boy, even though he was very talkative. His eyes coldly drew Aditya, making Ditya feel difficult to breathe.
"There are some things your age can't understand, baby. One day you'll understand all the adult problems, one day if you're an adult," Maya tries to give her son understanding to avoid making a mess.
"But a few months ago, you didn't want me to ask you who and where Gavin's father was. So from then on, I think I was destined to never have a father" Gavin replied plainly.
What Gavin said, this was the reality he felt. All pure from his heart. The boy had so long harbored his wounds alone, that it made him feel numb to the desire to have a whole family.
The boy, who was barely nine years old, stared at all the strangers to him, in the living room. Not spared a pair of eyes, Gavin will always remember.
"Sorry, it was all Dad's fault from the start. You can punish me, you can also judge me as much as you can," said Aditya. Highlight the man's eyes, so expectantly. There was such a great flash of hope emanating on the lightening of his eyes.
"I don't want to call you Dad. You're not my father. A father will not allow his son to suffer for years" Gavin firmly refused.
Hot tub that flushes the entire body of Aditya. The man was not only slapped with his son's words, but was also struck with great difficulty.
Adi and Nyah are astonished to find how stubborn and intelligent Gavin is. Gavin is a picture of Aditya as a child. Not only the level, but also the nature, character and emphatic character, decreased from Aditya.
"Gavin, I never taught you to talk like this" Maya said.
"Gavin just behave as they have been all along. You hate Dad so much, don't you? So, why are you more on their side now? I really want to, even want to have a father. But unfortunately, it's not the father who's bad to us. Sorry, Gavin wants to learn and go to sleep immediately" said Gavin, looking at Ditya.
Just four steps Gavin was about to pass, suddenly Gavin's steps came to a halt and a pair of sturdy hands were circling his body from behind.
Aditya's cry broke, unable to hold back because of the rejection he received from the son. His sturdy arms, encircling the thin body of his son. Whoever witnessed it must have been cut off.
"I'm sorry Dad. Please don't be like this. I feel guilty without your forgiveness. Please accept this sinful man, Gavin. I promise, I will make up for it all by returning Gavin and Mom's smiles" Ditya asked in a hoarse voice.
In the next second, there was an unyielding heart watching this heartwarming moment. It was painful at once, to be exact.
Maya loses consciousness, because of the tightness that hit her heart.
